The example here being that they would pay a lot more city tax, never own a home, and over a period of decades this would make rent prices go down. If this is what people want, then it seems like the right solution. Short term the only ch

Well, of course it is. Governments (the biggest force in the economy) want power. Let's assume money is power, because to some extent it is. Money is the ability to do things in the real world, which is the building block of power. G

That can't be right. If they're hosting on a different DNS they have an absolute need to MITM ssl/tls traffic. Can't work otherwise. So cloudflare sees your plaintext. Btw: tailscale does not (but ssl errors and warnings

What happened to the "reverse compiler" LLM restrictors? The last step of an LLM is to take a softmax of the predictions and then generating a token from that. But there was tooling that would just generate all allowed next tokens

I think you mean "Because the UK wants them, only 2% or so of illegal immigrants arrive by boats". Boris Johnson did Brexit "to stop the immigrants" ... and opened the floodgates. The very opposite of what his campaign p

I've also actually renovated my old place. I did it because I didn't want to rebuild the place entirely (there was no need, it was woven brick, more solid than most bunkers), and because I would have had to agree with the neigbors

Yep. Simple, ~20m2-30m2 square boxes, densily packed (with ideally thick walls) is by far the easiest kind of space to use. Then maybe one 50m2 for having a big living room. > In fact, at least in my (small) city, fully renovated old bui

Really? Unless they are complete morons they realize something. If you take EU governments, any random country, as a general rule government expenditures go like this: 35% pensions (usually also has some health care here) 35% social securit

But people want laws to not have to face this, and yet systematically refuse to actually do anything when those laws get violated. A law is fundamentally what's enforced, not what's on the paper. Which means if countries vote ag

You want to assign blame through an absolute moral standard? My God. The problem is that this is war. Nobody is behaving morally, in an absolute standard (frankly even outside of war that's the case). And I can't believe a rationa

Russia is making a profit under EU sanctions with oil sales to the EU, especially to Greece and Spain. If they're not using that to become stronger they are complete morons.

by spwa4 11d ago
Okay, you want my frank opinion on that? The job of EU politicians is to either: 1) "suck up to Russia" (or let's put it politely: have a working economic relationship with Russia) 2) actually END THE WAR, as in honestly say

Really. When answering the "Qui Bono?" question the lion's share of the profits go to ... the governments of countries where the oil is sold (ie. EU governments, US, ...). 2/3 of the price is pure taxes, (of those taxe

I'm sorry but I really think there's only one solution: make sure the US has the best AI weapons, because the US political process will actually put limits on their use, and the US military will actually respect those limits. (and

You're both right. What you're describing is liability. A warning does not guarantee safety from liability suits, that's why the other options are preferable (only being a Chinese or outside-of-the-west manufacturer guarantee

You do understand the cost of what you're asking, right? Not using AI weapons is exactly the same as asking soldiers to go up against AI weapons without having AI weapons themselves. Assuming other actors around the world will not sudd

Nice soundbite. Do you have an actual suggestion too? I'd love to hear you suggestion to keep AI out of the hands of people who will certainly use it to kill. Russia, for example, is already using AI targeting (Ukraine too but "wi
