We’re not going to figure out a practical way to improve the NHS with this level of debate. We get that you don’t like foreign nurses, but I’m not going to respond to your rhetorical questions.

If you actually put the fixes for those “systemic issues” on the table, it’s obvious that no-one is going to vote for them, so they’re total non-starters. E.g. it would be great to pay nurses more, but no-one is going to vote for the tax hi

This isn’t a serious contribution to the discussion. The overall level of NHS services would clearly be far lower (non-existent in some cases) without the contribution of immigrants.

High density of “no shit” quotes in this one. Nuclear brinksmanship is dangerous? A small chance of a catastrophic outcome isn’t something to shrug off? Not wrong, but we don’t need a stats expert to tell us this.

You're conflating terrorism with irregular warfare. The Oradour-sur-Glane massacre was terrorism committed by regular forces; the French resistance blowing up a German supply train was non-terrorist action by irregular forces.

Sure, but it was ironic then too.

The presupposition behind that question is that immigration is a necessary evil to be limited as much as possible. I am not American, but that strikes me as an ironic position for Americans to take.

It’s negligible as far as I can tell. If the LLM can “speak” the language well then you can prompt it in that language and get more or less the same results as in English.

The agent may be translating to English behind the scenes. There are all kinds of hacks layered on top of the underlying models. But however exactly it works, it’s clearly not the case that these things only make use of Spanish training dat

In my experience these models work fine using another language, if it’s a widely spoken one. For example, sometimes I prompt in Spanish, just to practice. It doesn’t seem to affect the quality of code generation.

Mac has about 15% of the market share in the US. It's not really a niche. $3500 is more than I would spend on a hobby too, but there are, in absolute terms, a large number of Americans who can spend this much on their hobbies.

This really depends a lot on your level of expertise in a given domain and how much relevant training data the LLM has. I find that LLMs are often better than me at avoiding common React gotchas. This isn't really surprising, given tha

Windows’ share of the desktop market has dropped from about 95% in the late 90s to around 70% now.

Thanks for the code. Pinning by version number isn’t a crutch; it’s more a question of mental models. Most people find it more intuitive to identify a world by describing the things in it than to fix the states of the things by identifying

Isn’t this backwards? Microsoft had way less competition on the desktop in the 90s than they do now.

Maybe stick to one account? It’s confusing for the rest of us, if nothing else. You are determined not to point to any specific examples and you keep switching to different abstract arguments. For example, you’ve now dropped the point about

I do want exact version pinning of individual packages. (As I said in my initial post, I’m aware that Nix advocates think that I shouldn’t want this.) I’m not sure what other post you’re referring to. There’s one where you describe some app

Doesn't that pin me to a particular versions of nixpkgs? That's fine if I only care about nodejs, but if I want to maintain particular versions of different tools, it won't work.

Annex D is a list of things that are crimes pretty much everywhere. Not sure what to make of the claim that Hungary might theoretically be enforcing Hungarian law in France. It seems surprising that no-one has noticed any specific consequen

EIOs are subject to a dual criminality requirement. So it’s not as if arbitrary Hungarian laws can be applied in France via EIOs. And of course, we all know this is not happening, which is why we get radio silence from the people who are ‘c

EIOs are subject to review by the recipient state. It seems that you can’t point to a single relevant example of a concerning EIO from Hungary.

by foldr 7mo ago
I think you might be missing the ‘concerning’ part. Which specific cases are concerning? I don’t find it inherently concerning that people can’t escape justice by crossing the Hungarian border, Bonnie and Clyde style.

There’s a concerning trend of EIOs issued by Hungary being enforced in France and Germany? What would be an example of this?
