It is akin to how the USA has not yet vanquished ISIS, despite it being a bunch of poorly armed amateurs. Perhaps the reason is that a "forever war" keeps your enemy in a known place, rather than regrouping and rebuilding.

Yes. You can break the document up and index each part and then tackle it that way. It works surprisingly well. The 4096 token limit is tied to the attention window, not an API restriction.

You would have to look at it from the perspective of the base rate (for low incidence) to properly understand what that means for the wider population: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy

The whole point is about identifying real issues before it is too late. And it is not like German politics is free of corruption.

You should say high income earners rather than "the rich" here, to be perfectly accurate. The two are not always the same.

I've spoken to people from some parts of the world where they have talked about a "recent" govt or king and then found out they were talking about 300 years ago, which was wild. Their collective sense of history goes back tho

The USA pays for a lot of offense too. The USA also pays a lot for healthcare in general so lack of funds isn’t the issue.

I'd add to the list: indirectly creating ISIS, enabling an enormous amounts of ethnic cleaning/genocide of minorities, allowing a takeover of the country by Iran and related militias, and hosing down the place with depleted uraniu

I have such a strong reaction to news like this, it's hard for me to not think that it's appropriate for every member state to consider leaving the EU now. They've succeeded in shifting me to a very anti-EU stance in one prop

Is this a rags-to-riches overcoming-the-impossible story where the protagonist is already unfathomably rich and well connected at the outset and could buy their way to success? Not sure how much I can relate to that, tbh.

You're looking at on car usage after all the rules were changed, and all those drivers know no better, or worse, have no choice. But imagine a city designed for no car usage! How would all those car driver vote then? SF has terrible pu
