If there is any nation on earth that is capable of cheaply producing large quantities of simple weapons of war it is the Russians. The issue is not a lack of cheap bullets.

Trump 'aggressively renegotiating' existing deals, like this completed bridge, or the USMCA, is not good for the confidence of future counter-parties to US agreements.

How many billions have you spent propping up useless industries in the years before the war though? What capacities could have been built with those billions otherwise?

Attacking random datacentres is not going to even fractionally help with the issue of low quality AI use.

It's literally a building that turns electricity into reasonably intelligent text and we're still here talking about environmental impacts. Is this where we're at with NIMBYism in the West now? Will there ever be popular supp

The Nazis were anti tobacco. If you're not pro tobacco, you should probably ask yourself why you have the same stance as the Nazis.

Wouldn't the whole point of Google propping up competition browsers to avoid antitrust be completely undermined if Google was influencing the development of said browsers?

It seems to stop when the argument can't be used to attack Western colonialism.

Not really, no. Per-capita Switzerland is rich, well fortified, and isn't being conquered to punish it for attempting to join a trade bloc. And free countries don't really like their neighbours being conquered by aggressive imperi

"But waste, fraud and abuse exists, and is bad, and DOGE was there to remove it, so DOGE was good. The fact that institutions exist to do this already is irrelevant. That the world's richest man and an unvetted team of 20-somethin

How do you know that the problem isn't that the access fee hasn't been set high enough to meaningfully reduce demand? (Also to the community, please don't flag normal comments if you don't like them. Downvote is fine, bu

Well Iran hasn't got what it wanted. Trump hasn't declared victory, taken his toys and gone home. Then Iran gets everything it wanted.

What did they get out of it? Iran's old conventional military capabilities being blown up? Some leaders killed? A fraction of the missiles and drones being suppressed?

Sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium carbonate. Not catalysts but reagents. Most currently come from fossil fuel feedstock but that isn't essential.

Joining the EU doesn't usually involve the mass murder and/or incarceration of a whole class of people. Joining the EU brings obvious prosperity while the Soviet Union locks you in to a government structure doomed to economic fail

Do you have a particular amount of corruption in mind before Ukraine is disqualified from receiving Western aid, or are you 'just asking questions'? Have the efforts of the Ukrainian anti corruption agencies and the defence of the

That's not the impression I get at all. A bit of extremely understandable rage at the Trump admin's ignorance and arrogance, but if you CTRL-F for "Chesterton's fence" you'll get that acknowledgement you'r

To me this whole thread reads people trying to apologise for DOGE, especially by making appeals like 'government has corruption and waste and that is bad so DOGE was good'.

Russia is not entitled to swallow any neighbour that looks at them funny. Neither are we required to stand by and do nothing for the fear of the possibility that Russia will become more belligerent. Russia thought the Ukrainians wouldn&#x27

Throwaway accounts being aggressive to other users and ranting about AI isn't productive IMO. There are plenty of other places on the internet for that.

Why do you care so much about his posts? It's not a bad benchmark, it clearly isn't saturated, and allows models to be vibe-compared over time.

When OpenAI do quota resets (not your scheduled weekly ones, the promotional or apology resets) they don't just reset whatever quota you were on. They give you a token to reset your weekly quota when you like.

The 5.6 model article for this post has three examples of little web games. There are plenty of little js web games anyway. The point isn't to make an actual game, it's to show coding ability, design and taste in a way that's
