Lichtenstein is so deeply integrated with Switzerland and for many purposes is a little more independent swiss canton that it doesn't hold as separate example. Swiss culture of democracy in unique in the world and is unique among 100%

The system is unique to Switzerland. But it's not the consequence of the skin color or the neutrality. All European countries have been practically 100% white until not long ago with vastly different outcomes.

I think this focuses on the wrong issues. Tin my observation the main advantage of swiss system is the institution of the referendum. It means that every major decision is decided by the people. The elected government decides on the 99.9% o

But I think that doesn't matter. If you intend to sell it to the highest bidder eventually then what difference does it make what was your plan? If a business had real values then they would never sell out (see lichess).

Given how everywhere software is now being written by the LLMs, how is that a top headline news that some (albeit malicious) software is being written with LLM? The robbers used a CAR in the robbery. The blackmailer used a TYPEWRITER to wri

Private people would keep their code locally and share the snapshot of the code using any file sharing or hosting option available. Companies had been hosting their own CVS or later svn servers.

I'm actually asking claude to make me eli5 htmls with svg diagrams of the code I want to understand. Once I even asked him to create for me a manim video about it.

Yes, that is cool. it doesn't change the fact how the Russians treated us for centuries, and not just during the Soviet Era and what were the outcomes compared to as some like say "EU or USA occupation". So we will thank you

I'm from Poland, but I worked in multinational place in Europe and I would rank polish people on average in the middle of pack in terms of working ethic. Behind Germans, or Scandinavians, but ahead of most Mediteraneans.

What has one to do with another? So to counter my argument about Russian occupation from up to 1914 being irrelevant you bring Polish Kingdom from the times of The Holy Roman Empire? And I assume that polish literature from 18 hundreds was

Big parts of Poland have been occupied by a regime in Moscow for much longer than soviet empire existed, with roughly same outcomes. Most than century after Poland gained independence age WW1, you can still see the economical differences f

Genuine question. Let's say you are bad with words. If you ask AI to generate hundred different paragraphs and choose the one which best conveys what you actually feel and want to communicate. Is it is still a perfect nothing?

Yes, but less then a plate, and more a piece of cake, carpet, forest or sea.

I don't find it hard to accept, but it's rather fascinating to think. The way I think of it is along this way: Despite the fact that our brains consist of bilions of neurons we think of ourselves as a unit enclosed in a single sku

It can't fix, but it can help. If you have some unusual symptoms or a little pain somewhere and no access to doctors you will most likely ignore it. If you can get any diagnosis it can help you e.g. decide to travel to get treatment. A

In Switzerland it's a mix. The theater we use most frequently doesn't have assigned seats.

I'm not talking in particular about the X rays. It's about general lack of hospitals, equipment and doctors. In Europe, there are some rich cities which have on average one doctor per hundred people. And there are large areas in

The bar for making ai useful is much lower though. It's enough to be better than nothing. Large populations also in the technically rich countries simply do not have access to a doctor. in Poland which has a free public Healthcare it t

But I think they are relevant because you compare two numbers and one is much lower. I've done some napkin math and CC code makes me more efficient when I pay 200/ month, but it wouldn't if I had to pay api prices

That's an interesting concept. So it's like if you're an agent chatting with a user, you have an army of assistants who overhear the conversation and record important facts, or search relevant facts on some database and de
