Putin is only powerful as long as institutions continue to follow him. He doesnt throw people out of windows himself, he has his state do that. Move enough people away from supporting him and he's gone.

Prigozin had a chance When it happened it seemed that the emperor was naked and nobody would protect Putin. All the military ordered to stop him just did not do anything or joined them. Tried to bomb him but plane was shot down and that was

ideas, sure - "i think we should build an open source OS." ideas + execution - not really - (Linus Torvalds sharing his work on Linux and that taking off)

he's missing out on any attention that his shared thoughts would bring? and all benefits that might bring if he's good at what he does. he's training his cheap replacement - his thoughts will just be shared without attributio

Google can properly classify email spam. They should be able to fight this as well. Problem is they are the ones funding the poor quality spam and they're in turn profiting by taking money from advertisers.

perhaps this would not be a problem if google did not directly monetize AI Slop... for that matter why even include AI crap in search.

I mainly shared my projects for learning, discussion and bragging rights. LLMs just use everything, generate similar code with no attribution and keep users from visiting, so no bragging rights or attention. Worse, there are some PRs that s

tactical win - they achieved that quite easily. strategic failure - iran shrugged it off and now are causing massive damage to world economy with no end in sight.

other side: what benefit does an AI datacenter bring to a community? why wouldn't people complain? on that note, if LLMs dissappeared tomorrow, what would be the loss for common folk? Solution seems simple, build them away from communi

thanks! Associating with past bugs is a nice use case Suggesting fixes seems risky, can lead people on wrong paths and waste time or fixing a sympthom instead of proper root case and waste the bug report? Grouping is pretty easy without LLM

There's nothing Biden could have done that would have prevented the american people from voting in Trump. Trump was convicted, he still won. He probably would have won from jail as well. So original question remains, what can be done?

It's not whataboutism if you point out question was naive. (answer is the same everywhere and has always been the same) Inner circle leadership won't be prosecuted anywhere as long as their group holds some power. So, then, questi

You can ask the same about inner circle of current US leadership It will have the same answer, no who would be able to prosecute them and how? who would even investigate them

You're saying that like it's not a possibility. What could push EU to do that? Arbitrary tarrifs? Invasion/threats of invasion? It wouldn't be out of spite, nothing ever is, it would be a response and it is a valid conce

They can try, they'll also lose out on money and have piracy to contend to. Governments can still force them to sell same as rest of the world or have them pack their bags and leave.

There's a difference in math between giving just the answer to a problem and doing it properly/elegantly. So yeah, generated machine-valid proof can be denied if it's incomprehensible, same as human machine-valid proof can be

Allright, so since you're using Linux and alternatives are worse... what's there to complain about? why not put that effort into improving stuff / finding solutions?
