I choose to think that doesn’t matter. Romans were defeated so many times. What won them the empire was perseverance.

If anything, LLMs showed that you don’t need ability to reason to perform many jobs, like content writing. College assays are probably another good example. I can offer a solution though. Don’t create that many for-profit institutions that

A refugee can pay literally 200 EUR and fly to US from Warsaw. I assure you many paid up to two orders of magnitude more just to flee the county. It’s about the local laws put in place. The EU takes refugees with almost no preconditions. Ma

I think it’s a lot of words trying to justify why the “grain deal” hasn’t achieved the declared goals. I’m sure lots of profit has been made though.

Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia combined took twice more than that. 271k is nothing for US given their role in the conflict.

The sanctions were supposed to sever the ties between Russia and the EU. That worked perfectly. Same as the refugee crisis. The two most active supporters of Ukraine(USA and UK) take almost no refugees from Ukraine. It’s the EU that suffers

Sanctions are not designed to change the regime. Look at the French president complaining how it’s “not fair” the the US seize the moment to lure European manufacturers to the USA.

The sanctions didn’t fail. They probably complicated the oil transport logistics a lot. There’s been stories of how uninsured Russian tankers offload oil bear Gibraltar. Then the oil goes somewhere in China(or India). I suppose it’s going t

Yet Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria say Ukrainian grain is too cheap and upsets local farmers. Guys, but the EU said it was for feeding the poor, and not for making pierogi. I’m so confused at this point.

I only use it for games, so not paying too much attention. There’re definitely some local content being loaded by default(like news) which by itself is horrible.

With how the EU lets use itself it’d be a shame not to take advantage.

I was selling fruits to tourists at about 9 or 10 during summers. Tought me a lot. Not to make an argument from my personal anecdotes, but not all “child labor” is bad.

I’m from Crimea and found a seashell inland once. Someone told me “of course, this was all covered with water long time ago!”. I guess the seashell had nothing to do with the lake, but it’s still amazing how the Earth isn’t static at all.

That’s like saying you should build a wall around ghettos. Would make for an interesting movie, though.

I’m not an expert, but I assume there’s a limit where «simply adding stuff” stops to provide improvements when you take training time into account. And my gut feeling is that true reasoning requires different architectures.

1. The temperatures are going to get higher, and nothing is going to reverse the trend in the near future. 2. Yes, people can survive. But I assume most time is spent surviving instead of living. You can’t be very productive at 35+ degrees.

Right, but i thought you can’t make a factory more efficient on a whim. Especially somewhere like Germany. So when they say the industry cut the consumption within last year then the first thing they comes to mind is less production.
