Ha, I've been creating this on-and-off for a while. Just last night I asked various LLMs to implement a boid-with-predator algorithm and all failed hard. Instead I spent an hour reading through a description and implementing manually a

I'd say the key here is stability. The post-WWII Pax Americana was at least stable. The USA each day moves towards a Putin-esque 'might-is-right' oligarchal model, and that transition to their new world will be painful for th

It was a rhetorical question. The real question was why the edgy, free speech, new media "organisations" invited to the WH don't have the balls to ask?

Anyone know the reason Musk doesn't wear a suit? Is it because he too is fighting a war in multiple fronts?

Proposed solution 1 seems sensible and using acknowledgements and dlq is a fairly common pattern. You might also want to monitor the size of the DLQ and if it reaches a certain limit stop processing altogether. You can also alert based on t

idk, there's a market for expensive ICE vw buses in the UK. 60k is top-end, but the id.buzz is a niche vehicle for sure

Happy to fix that for you. You can no more go to jail for "posting a meme" than you can do for "speaking some words". Context and content is important. There are limits to allowable speech (yes, even in the USA) and if y

Educate yourself. Look up the Minsk agreements, that Putin wants to take control of all of Ukraine. And Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. And parts of Finland. This does not stop with a few towns in Eastern Ukraine, this is existential for many c

Instead they'll be kidnapped by the Russian invaders. Genius!

Putin's stated aims are the expansion of Russia to 100 year old borders and the destruction of the EU. So that figures, yes.

Zelensky's Ukraine stood and fought against Russia for 3 years. Trump's USA surrendered in 6 weeks.

I thought "dropped" these days meant released? Not helpful I know...

What exactly is on the table? Putin will just stop? Don't make me laugh. You know his stated aims right?
565.

Simple, Putin can simply withdraw his troops back to Russia. Instant peace.

The same peace that we got after Crimea was invaded? It's sweet that you've had enough of the wars, like you might have had enough of a Netflix series. The peace on the table is no such thing. It's a temporary appeasement of

Read again what Putin's stated aims are. Hoping for a peace deal with a totalitarian, expansive state does not work. It didn't work when it was "just Crimea", it won't work when it's "just some towns they

Also, please don't forget what Putin's stated aims are - reconquest of Russian border back to pre 1930 limits (maybe you understand why Polish defence spending is at 5% GDP) and the breakup of the EU. These are his aims - he doesn

Or Putin could just withdraw his (and the North Korean) troops? He's so trustworthy peacekeepers won't be needed, right?

Because appeasing aggressors never works? I mean, we literally took the appeasement route when he annexed Crimea. A few years later and here we are. Guess what happens when we appease him now? The term The West applies to those countries bo
