It’s absolutely true. It is a documented fact. It was discovered and entered into public record during the DOJ antitrust investigation into Google Chrome. They call the signal „popularity“ and it is a successor of the Google Toolbar signal.

Politically inconvenient domains are already routinely seized by the US and there are international agreements in place that allow cross-border takedowns. Why do you think t.me got taken down? Montenegro doesn’t care about Telegram.

True, but only because they are choosing to actively burn VC money on training. But it’s not like the models we have now would stop to exist if training stopped. Other than the occasional retraining to get the latest data in, if they stoppe

I mean, the government of Montenegro is a reasonable European democracy on its, admittedly slow, way to join the EU and is a NATO member. It’s not really any different than this website we are now on being at the whim of the US government.

FYI - Gandi was great, but they got bought by private equity a few years back and the price skyrocketed and service went downhill super fast after the buyout.

What’s with the shade on Montenegro? .me is a perfectly normal domain. And the government doesn’t even operate the registrar, it’s operated by doMEn d.o.o. which is a Montenegro version of an LLC.

Models are memory bound. Startups burning through VC money to build massive warehouses full of hardware those models need to run on currently seem to be quite power grid connector bottlenecked. A more efficient chip would help.

No? You can program a GPU, you can’t program ASIC. TPUs are closer to ASIC than GPUs.

Yes, but: 1) They are investing Loony Toons levels of money and using Loony Toons financing a lot of the time for DC buildout. Those are actual physical buildings that once built out, exist and don’t need to be built again. 2) They are poin

You don’t need to meet all of them. You need to meet any of them. Which makes it almost trivial for parents for example because you just need to send your kids to a normal school instead of an expat only private school.

1) Because taxes and money are not everything. You do not buy welfare, it’s not an insurance. It’s a social safety net provided by the society irrespective of how much money you contributed to it. So the criteria for getting welfare must be

It’s a very expensive bank. Compared to a normal Swiss bank: CHF wire transfer and EUR SEPA wire transfers are usually free of charge. Dukascopy charges 2.30 for each CHF or EUR transfer and 19 USD for each USD wire, on top of 0.50% currenc

First of all, _basic_ rights should be afforded to _all_ humans. That's not what the discussion here is. The discussion here are non-basic rights, like the right to enter a geographic area without restriction or the right to state welf

Because if the will of the people is for person A to serve in office X, then the will of the people should be absolute. I'd even allow election of minors and other currently non-eligible persons. The only requirement should be that you

No chance. Also, really expensive.

Not at all. Citizenship allows you the final participation: political. The right to be chosen and the right to choose. Everything else applies to anyone who lives permanently in a given place. A permanent resident. FWIW: I personally politi

Are you a net positive? Just because somebody pays taxes, it doesn’t necessarily make them a net positive. For example, do you contribute culturally? That can be quite hard to do without speaking the language. What about defense. Would you

If you are not a resident, don’t bother trying unless you plan to have 30M or more in the account. If you are a resident, you can easily open a normal account in minutes… unless you are US, Russian or Belarus citizen.

Well, why is „learn the language“ not a rational and pragmatic requirement? Seems rational to me. Want to live in country X permanently? Learn language X.

Your aunt is sort of correct, but not really. If you move to CH on your German EU passport, register at the local authorities and get your residency card, most traditional Swiss banks will open an account for you. You just won’t be able to

It’s a super interesting example because the Swiss German in the question would also vehemently disagree that they have anything in common with the German :) I’m actually curious if the GP expects „yes“ or „no“ as an answer, because I could

YSK: This is a disputed view. Wether nation comes first, or the state, is something academic historians don’t agree on. While it sort-of fits if you limit it to France, it breaks down even when you cross the border to Germany. Three differe

I mean, even if you insist on viewing it as a business deal, what exactly prevents one side to put language requirements in the business deal? That’s how deals work, both sides state their position and either they find a middle ground or th

As a counter point, I would not like your proposed design. Why would you use 50% of the screen space when you can have 100% and flip between prompt and render?

I don’t think there is a formal definition of E2EE. Here’s Wikipedia’s definition: „End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a method of implementing a secure communication system where only the sender and intended recipient can read the messages“ N

True. But the server is not completely unprotected even if not stored in my basement. The disks are fully encrypted, so the attacker must be careful not to accidentally interrupt power or force a reboot. And they can’t just log into the mac

In memory. If the police shows up and they disconnect my server to sieze it, for example, the photos are lost to them. And the Hetzner employee would need to specifically target me, because I doubt they would implement a dragnet that pierce
