Fail fast is a feature, not a bug. It's much better to get clear and actionable feedback rather than the page silently rendering incorrectly in some subtle manner.

Yes, that's correct. I am calling into question the democratic processes of any so-called "representative democracy".

EU has stronger protections against large private entities. Some people care more about that than they do about government (FWIW I think those people are wrong and the end result is the same, but it's a complicated subject).

Perhaps your democracy has been in decline for some time now?

The Council represents state governments, not nations. A nation consists of all the people in it, not just those who appointed themselves to speak on its behalf.

Isn't this simply because the political realignment in US resulted in an arrangement where higher incomes generally correlate with left-wing political views? And it's not exactly a new thing that higher incomes also correlate with

On the contrary, a fleet of cheap drones is what renders walls (and more broadly barricades) useful again. They don't have to stop the advance - they just have to slow it down so that the advancing units can get hammered by drones and

But that is precisely because there are drones. Drones are what allows both sides to see so deep into the battlefield that it's basically impossible to make a surprise attack now. Your advance units start getting hammered as soon as

For a long time, basically since WW2, the assumption was that fortifications are at best a delaying measure, and worst case, the attacker can go around them (mobile warfare, blitzkrieg and all that). In the past decade, however, the changes

I think it's fair for people to be surprised when their donations to the project are used for personal expenses when that is not clearly spelled out. There's nothing wrong with crowdfunding what is effectively a salary for a F&#

Honestly I miss it. As overengineered as it was, at least we had proper tooling for it, and while there were dialects in the associated tech (e.g. XML Schema vs RELAX NG vs Schematron) it was minor compared to the wild west that JSON is to

It's not an either-or. Generalist models can drive training of specialized models just fine. And while I haven't seen a generalist model decide by itself to train a specialized model to complete some large task, this seems like

FWIW Fable is insanely expensive for the task you just described, so much so that I don't think it's practical for that. Its practical use is as a dev lead / architect / project manager model, doing planning and writing

EU will likely want something like this for ChatControl (or whatever it's called in its current draft iteration) enforcement anyway. And Google will no doubt be happy to have its highly paid lobbyists testify on how it will help catch

Sure, but the real profits to be had there, if any, are package deals with other megacorps, not hobbyists.

"Far left" can mean a lot of different things, but generally it means far left economic positions (on matters such as property rights, for example). This is orthogonal to authoritarianism though - yes, there's absolutely a la

Only if your definition of "far left" was taken from the likes of Fox and Breitbart, who apply this label to anyone left of Clinton, more or less. I'm a libertarian socialist though. And by "socialism" I mean all th
