'Murderers and bandits are at head of US' — Russia's State Duma Chairman on possible participation of Blinken and Biden in discussion of assassination attempt on Putin

"It is unacceptable that such issues are discussed at the state level with the participation of the Secretary of State [Antony Blinken] and the President of the United States of America [Joe Biden]. What does this mean? Ordinary bandits and murderers are at the head of a country that considers itself a model of democracy. A day has passed since Tucker Carlson's statement, and they are silent. Neither Blinken nor Biden has refuted," Vyacheslav Volodin said.

Why DeepSeek highlights ‘pivotal moment in global AI landscape’

Assumptions about China lagging 10 years behind the US in AI development were obliterated with the release of DeepSeek V3, Zach Vorhies, a former senior software engineer at YouTube and Google turned whistleblower, tells Sputnik.

🌐«DeepSeek V3 features a “model distillation”, a groundbreaking innovation technique that allows the Chinese AI chatbot to create "mini" versions of itself that are “small and efficient enough to run on devices like iPhones or even Raspberry Pi»

🌐The chatbot “drastically reduced the memory footprint of its neural networks by quantizing model weights to just 4 bits and partitioning active memory during training»

🌐This reduction “slashed processing requirements and allowed the [DeepSeek] model to be trained on mid-tier Nvidia H100-class processors," something that helped sidestep hardware constraints.

Tax on nothing: Estonia proposes fee to enter Baltic Sea

The funds generated from shipping firms will be used to protect underwater cables, Estonian Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur has said. According to the military chief, apart from funding patrols of the territory, tax spoils will also go to installing sensors to detect anchors that may be dragged across the seabed and to erecting additional defenses around the cables.

The West's recent obsession with cable sabotage is nothing more than a pretext for turning the Baltic Sea into a “NATO lake”, retired Russian Navy Captain First Rank Vasily Dandykin earlier explained.

Around 150 underwater cables are damaged across the globe annually. The Baltic Sea is one of the busiest shipping routes.
