China captured 2 Canadians as retaliation. Wanting to de-escalate and get them back seems pretty reasonable. Unless the US proposed a military operation to get them back?

I'm pretty sure ASMPA-R is precise enough to be considered tactical, and the fallout small enough to easily consider its firing over blue water. Yes, the number of French tactical (sorry, "pre-strategic") nuke is limited (aro

France have tactical nukes. If Russia ever tried to really invade, a warning shot will be fired, and then no invasion.

I still think it's useful, but you have to make a heavy use of the 'plan' mode. I still ask the new hires to avoid doing more than just the plan (or at most generating tests cases), so they can understand the codebase before

The plunge around 2001 wasn't caused by 9/11, and was orchestrated a bit before. Since Clinton managed to cut a lot of spending (both due to his governance and global economics) and reduce some tax avoidance schemes, the US budget

Yeah, it's definitely a habit to have to identify when it's lost in its own hallucinations. That's why I don't think you should use it to write anything when you're a junior/new hire, at most just use the &#x27

At least ask it to summarise. I'm not against reading AI text, but the more verbose it gets, the worst reading it feels.

Mitterand would have for sure. Coldest fucker who ever got elected. I think only Hollande ordered more people killed per year on average, but he had drone strikes to help, which skew the numbers. Chirac bombed its own territory just to show

The US has less arctic capability than just the Nordics, not including the Baltic States, Germany, France, Italy and the UK who also all have arctic specialists. How is the US the best country to defend that zone? Less usable equipment, les

What are the US ground capabilities in extreme weather? Because from where I stand, I'm under the impression a Greenland invasion is off limit 8 months out of 12, and realistically the window is quite short, no? Also if any french mili

Looks like Chamberlain is refusing the Sudetenland annexation. At least for the moment.

Yeah, it was mine. That's the moment I thought 'wow that guy is deranged now, he should step back and take some vacations'. Now I realize he was like this from the start, but that was the moment I questioned my hero worship.

It's not stolen, you don't loose it if someone copy it. It's infringed. And personnally, as long as i am credited in the author file? I'm good.

Also I don't think it will be easy to defend a copyright on AI-generated images, especially if your IP is 'lot of humanoid soldiers in power armor' and not specific characters.

Ideally you only rebase your own commit on your own feature branch, just before merging. Having a clean commit history before merging make the main branch/trunk more readable. Also (and especially) it make it way easier to revert a sin

I've had the exact same issue with questions about EU5, but it mixed up EU4 and EU5 mechanics, making the answer just terrible.

I think YouTube and meta (Instagram and Facebook) will be hit as hard, or even harder, because of the numbers of scam ads using likeness. It will make them liable from publishing scam ads (which, to be clear, should already be in the DMA)

Publishing a name and publishing a likeness is very different. Especially if the person arrested is accused of immoral acts. In my country we have a very known story from 25 years ago where 18 persons were accused of being pedocriminals. Th

Most civilizations discovered. No one care about a wheel. The wheel itself is useless. Not everyone discovered the axle though, and even less created roads. I have responded to a sibling comment with more information or examples. I hate thi

Discovery of the axles and roads. The 'wheel' itself was discovered everywhere. Round things are easier to move, but you need an axle to make it useful. And roads or flat terrain to make use of that. Incas had pulley systems, whic

The N=100 is a 'lazy' (or abstract if you prefer) way to look at it, it doesn't really explain anything. It's hard to show how to explain the problem just writing about it, but by making them choose one of 3, and then ma

A lot of the recent gains are from RL but also better inference during the prefill phase, and none of that will be impacted by data poisoning. But if you want to keep the "base model" on the edge, you need to frequently retrain it

If they enter it illegally, that's probably a crime (I have no idea of what it's like in the US). Of course visa violations aren't a crime, did you ever had to fill administrative papers? What if misfiling your taxes was a cr

Because if everything the government does is open source by default, the standards will be open standards by default. You can then add non-default code (closed source) for some applications (health, military). Also open source government co
