If the US withholds parts or services to European countries, that would certainly be an interesting twist, considering the Dutch government used this arrangement as a reason why they couldn't withhold parts to Israel despite the ongoin

> They don’t. If the U.S. wants to sell 100 F-35s to European nations, it will happen. How do you imagine that will work? The US may have to lower the price more than they can afford to. Some countries have already cancelled their F-35 o

I love Organic Maps too. The UI could be a bit nicer, and sometimes it struggles to find where I want to go, but bicycles routes are far superior to those from Google.

Sounds like another reason not to repy on US-based services.

Her point is not just "LLMs can't cite links", but "LLMs make shit up". And that is absolutely a problem.

I've been saying the same thing, though in less detail. AI is so dr8ven by hype at the moment, that it's unavoidable that it's going to collapse at some point. I'm not saying tue current crop of AI is useless; there are

I have a standard password that I know has been leaked, and I don't care. I use it only for accounts with no value. Accounts that don't hurt me if they get hacked. Obviously my email, bank and primary social media use strong passw

The observation that Trump lies all the time will not become irrelevant as long as he's alive. Almost every claim that he makes, or that his supporters make about him, is wildly untrue, and definitely the claim that he's "the

In Europe it's absolutely a majority. Musk is widely despised now. And this used to be a big market for Tesla.

Is it? I think he's the greatest con man of all time. Certainly the most corrupt US president.

I think it's pretty obvious that the antics are a bit part of it. It's a big part in how Musk is eroding the trust in Tesla, but more than that, a car is also an image, a feeling. A few years ago, Tesla was widely loved ajd many p

This sounds like circumventing home network security measures and therefore illegal.

True. Well, I still don't disagree with the initial policy of opening trade with Russia. It's just that Europe should have realized much earlier that in Putin's hands, Russia was becoming more hostile again. And after they in

I'm not so sure China is a threat to Europe. They're as far away from each other as they can possibly be. Sure, Europe is upset about China's human rights record, and their cheap manufacturing circumventing EU rules, and mayb

Depends on who does the removing. It could go a lot of different ways, but even if it's someone from his own government who is hostile to the west, they're still likely to use it as an excuse to end the war.

That is absolutely a possibility, but not a certainty, and a very dangerous gamble to make. That said, Europe probably does need its own nuclear deterrent and its own anti-ballistic missile defense.

No. Not at all. There will come a point when Russia will stop the war because either Russia is completely exhausted and on the verge of collapse, or Putin is dead or removed from power. And chances are those two will go together.

In an ideal world I'd agree with you, but the world is unfortunately very far removed from that. You don't have to agree with everything to look for common ground in other areas. Support the good, criticize the bad.

I see SK and Japan also as necessary allies for the EU. But if China decides to take Taiwan, I don't think there's anything the EU could possibly hope to do about it; Taiwan remains independent because the US guarantees their inde

No, it's still a fallacy. Sure, taking a step back and examining the evidence is always a good idea, but the evidence is pretty damn clear here. > This conflict is much more analogous to WW1 instead of WW2. Only tactically. Both WW2

Nukes don't give Russia infinite resources. Russia's economy is suffering. They've mostly ran out of modern tanks (except for the T-14 which still hasn't seen combat somehow), they're using donkeys for trucks now, t

Yes, there's a difference, and what Trump is doing is clearly siding with Russia. His "negotiated peace" is neither negotiated nor peace. It's a surrender. You don't have to support Ukraine indefinitely; only until

It's a weird world that objecting to genocide makes you an antisemite now. Don't support Netanyahu's weaponization of the word antisemite. It endangers Jews everywhere, and does not help Israel. It only helps Netanyahu silenc

The EU could end up taking that crown if they handle this well. Firstly of course, they need to be united, steadfast and decisive in their support for Ukraine until Russia collapses. They should be building new alliances, with India, South

They have, but they need to double it. You can't count on the US anymore, and Ukraine needs a lot more than it's getting. And let's face it, the EU can easily afford it. Sure it hurts a bit. But more war with Russia hurts a l
