  • So what happened:

    1. Mexico got a 30 day reprieve by promising 10k Mexican national guard on the border. Trick is that they apparently already have between 10-15k there, so it is already met. The US claims they’ll limit gun smuggling, but with Muskler firing everyone, doubt.

    2. Canada got a 30 day reprieve by promising a 1.3 billion dollar border package, and some kind of nebulous Fentanyl Czar. Trick is that the border package was announced six weeks ago and is already partially implemented, irrespective of the tarrifs. Fentanyl czar is needed for internal issues and is more about removing an attack point for Poilievre and the CPC.

    Basically, Trump caused Wall St to lose 600 billion dollars in one day and permanently damaged the US economy(Canadian and Mexican resources are now being workshopped on being permanently routed to other countries) for literally nothing






  • From a technical POV, from having read into it a little:

    Deepseek devs worked in a very low level language called Assembly. This language is unlike relatively newer languages like C in that it provides no guardrails at all and is basically CPU instructions in extreme shorthand. An “if” statement would be something like BEQ 1000, where it goes to a specific memory location(in this case address 1000 if two CPU registers are equal.)

    The advantage of using it is that it is considerably faster than C. However, it also means that the code is mostly locked to that specific hardware. If you add more memory or change CPUs you have to refactor. This is one of the reasons the language was largely replaced with C and other languages.

    Edit: to expound on this: “modern” languages are even slower, but more flexible in terms of hardware. This would be languages like Python, Java and C#
