How do you evaluate quality ? Also I suspect the performance between models would varry between datasets. Heck it would vary on same model/source if you included that your mother was being held hostage and will be killed unless you sum

That's like saying we should start supplying Ukraine with nukes because we're already supplying them weapons. Logically they are both weapons, but in real world one of those options ends with a nuclear armageddon. Implementing ant

That's not a tariff that's a tax. If you start taxing foreign entities different from local you are violating all sorts of treaties and depending on how the laws are written it could be unconstitutional discrimination (once you st

Exactly what I was thinking. We need a great firewall of EU that is charging for packets crossing the Atlantic

How do you tariff a software service ? Tariffs are applied at import ? Are you paying US software if its hosted in EU datacenter by EU subsidiary ? Or if software licence is sold by EU subsidiary ? The concept makes no sense to me.

Not handwaving anything away, just saying that EU has blame for its weak bargaining power in this issue and that this kind of escalation creates a situation where it is politically acceptable for EU to significantly invest in military. Imag

Well my point is more that EU is in a situation where Trump can realistically demand Greenland because without the US we cannot even protect ourselves. We should be outraged at the leaders that brought us to this situation more than Trump,

Thats them orienting themselves to neighboring territory and not that relevant to EU, aside from Greenland. But contrast that with recent past where US was blowing up middle east for oil, drone striking in Africa, building missile shields i

Thats not support local, that is buy higher quality - and while demagogues try to conflate these two - it is very rarely the case in my experience. In cases where it is - you do not need buy local movements at all - they should be the defau

Thats what every "support local" campaign boils down to - accept suboptimal deals because they are somehow more connected to you. I am glad to sell my services to the US and will buy their services, likewise for EU stuff if it is

I'd be willing to bet that the largest use of LLMs they have is GitHub copilot and Claude should be the default there. OpenAI has not been interesting to me for a long time, every time I try it I get the same feeling. Some of the 4.5 p

I think from Trumps POV Russia is not that relevant and China is the rival. US has spats with Russia when they play globalist games, but Trump does not seem to be that interested in playing and Chinese are way stronger than Russia recently

Except none of Apple stuff is Electron based, and as far as I am aware of Apple salaries are competitive with top companies - so none of your arguments really hold up.

Flutter is unique because it is a cross platform canvas renderer with huge number of components built on top. Sort of, there are libs like QT but nobody wants to deal with C++ for GUI apps, and even the bindings leak C++isms last time I che

Is it double negative ? English not a first language so maybe doesn't translate exactly. But kind of proves my point - if that was grammatically correct bullshit you're way more impressed than getting an awkwardly structured reply

Chat works because humans are really impressed by natural language responses, irregardless of the actual correctness/quality. Once you build it into a product the failure modes become obvious.
