So, kind of interesting, Deepseek spawned off of a Chinese hedge fund named High-Flyer. As I understand it, they originally acquired their H800 array for crypto mining and decided to do this as a side project.

My theory is that they knew how its introduction and later releases would affect these US AI companies, so the hedge fund engineered all of this to buy the dip.

Surprised the board has this guy as CEO still. I’m sure he had a sweet contract coming in after all the moonshot fun. But oof did he whiff it. The funniest thing he did, when all the wsb guys were waiting for the big squeeze to fuck the shorts, he goes and issues more shares haha

I didn’t expect to like Balatro as much as I did. I’m a big fan of deck builders but the poker theme was not super compelling to me. But wow, I’ve had a blast with it. Just boils down to a really good set of mechanics and some ridiculous fun builds. I don’t think it will hold my attention as long as like Slay the Spire or Monster Train but it was well worth the price.

Thanks for confirming this, all the rage around this game is exhausting. I loved the first game, would probably place it in my top ten of all time. I have no complaints about omg actually having to traverse the world. It’s the way the game is designed to play. If there are paid workarounds to play it a different way it doesn’t affect me or anybody else who loves this kind of game.

Their “Spanish for English speakers” course goes all the way through CEFR B2 proficiency. There’s no way to attain that in a year of HS Spanish unless you were in a Spanish-speaking high school, fully immersed. Some versions of the Spanish course (for other native languages) may not go as far, that’s just the one I’m working on.
