We will up the defence spending until Trump doesn't have the "card" of removing Ukraine support anymore.

Then having a digital services tax starts looking like free money with few downsides to the EU. And the defence spending increases funding requirements.

The dependence would be eliminated by taxing it away.

And railways are now mostly state-funded infrastructure. Seems plausible to me that the same will happen with LLMs.

And Amazon went up 600000% from IPO. If SpaceX goes up by that amount it's worth like 60 times total world market cap.

At some point I thought I would be clever and just backup the file while no transaction is active (or manual WAL checkpointing and no WAL checkpointing active).

Ran into 2.2. https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html -- the backup was close()ing the database file descriptor and canceling the SQlite locks.

I think the last sentence has a word missing or something, because it contradicts the previous argument a bit.

Since it is a first-past the post system it would have been best if the other parties coordinated to only let the best party compete.

Having Count Binface as the only other candidate is IMO a second-best option.

Same as Russia, yeah. But Reliance Jio seems to have announced something. Don't know if it'll actually happen.

And for that reason the EU, India, China and Russia will build their own Starlink alternatives.

To offset costs they'll then provide it for civilian use, competing with Starlink in the above areas.

The main blocker for this was that Trump extended this to the military domain. I.e., tax US hyperscalers and Ukraine does not get US weapons/information anymore. Becoming independent from the US in the military domain will take some work.

The whole semi manufacturing(/electronics) supply chain moved to Asia in the 1980s.

E.g. Siemens tried to compete but lost back then in the manufacturing part.

Maybe it was your company with the 500 million Claude bill.

So having foreign currency in stable coins is allowed in South Africa?

The profit created from issuing currency is called seigniorage. It is madness letting private companies capture this.

I hope you are clearly marking this as "nice to have".

Yeah, but the software can also be replicated as binaries or as free SaaS.

Wouldn't one be able to tell from basic research if a project is legit or not. E.g. looking how the developer handles support? If no HM does take OSS work into account, one other reason for publishing my code goes away. Might as well post it as freeware if I want to share it.

On the Linux side sendfile is implemented via splice. So it is a more generic API that covers the sendfile case.

The difference if this is okay is how reliable the tool is. If it is a calculator or compiler it is okay. The example in the article also sounds okay (machine learning image classification), though I am not sure.

LLM output is unreliable, so we still need to judge it. If I want to be able to judge code, I must have worked with it to a certain extent. So the unreliable tool does not help me much if I don't want to accept the unreliability.

It's a fundamental problem with the technology. Either the training pushes it into the "exam answering mode" where it tries to guess at what you want to hear given the prompt.

Or the training pushes it into the "Google it yourself" annoyed forum user mode. Maybe that points out wrong assumptions. Maybe it hallucinates that the assumptions are wrong. That is IMO more annoying than the sycophantic one.

As OP says, this is probably a by-product of them trying to "fix" the problem where the user can question a correct answer and it starts to sycophantically correct itself.

IRC doesn't have offline messages and standardized user accounts.

Just looked it up and there is IRCv3 to fix this, but idk what the state of that is.

Insulting someone is a crime in Germany. We can debate and then change this of course. I wouldn't call this a fundamental issue. It is just what we as a society decided on. (Maybe I'm too "Ze rules are ze rules" here)

Idk what exactly happend. But somehow they got approval from court to collect evidence of the crime (electronic devices) via house search. As said, the harm caused by the house search was later deemed unproportional to the crime.

It's not like the raids in the US because there are less guns around. So risk of someone dying because of a house search are pretty low (supported by police death numbers). This would be more about privacy violations and unnecessary chicanery.

This was later deemed inappropriate by courts. Shit happens -- as long as the corrective mechanisms work it is just exceptions.

Yes, Google just removes them as a first step because this is the least amount of work for them. Theoretically there is an Google appeals process. After that it needs to go to court.

My guess is that often reviews are generalizing (easy mistake to make). E.g. they say "service is slow", when they should say: "When I was there on Thursday at noon service was slow for my table".

Taxing/preventing extraction of crude oil upstream would always have been the better solution.

Most of the downsides would be on the goods side. Swiss companies would loose market access and the chance of "better" trade agreements is even worse then the UK, especially currently.

Even then we should be able to see things that previously were not possible because they took too much effort.

For example NPCs in games that have complexity that previously was not possible.

Good games often push the boundaries a bit, so should be a good example.

Of course now we can start arguing that there isn't a lot of investment into gaming currently, because it all goes into AI. Too bad.

They need the cash to bail out xAI and X.

Even SpaceX is not profitable because of Starship.

As far as I understood he already offered the reparations. Including real estate projects & investment fund, obviously.

Didn't make the problem go away.

I think the biggest problem is that the main way to use it is as a HTTP response handler, whereas other languages are more general purpose. So when a developer wants to develop themselves outside of a HTTP response handler, they need to switch languages.

Of couse it can be argued that PHP can be used outside this one way as well, but even e.g. https://symfony.com/doc/current/mercure.html is using golang.
