You mean it's a consequence of very large amounts of people refusing to pay for software, at essentially any other cost ... Of course you could describe almost all of the internet that way.

Is that even illegal?

My father was a teacher, a public servant. At one point he showed me "the deal in writing". Signed by the director of the school. It had a reference to the law, but everything was copied into the contract. The pension plan, includ

CEOs, or at least the ones meant here, didn't create any of these companies. They're all about extracting money, about profit. They're accountants. They often bought themselves into the company, and they want, they even need,

Where do you get the idea that under communism the government helps the citizens? Talk to a few Chinese homeless people. It's getting easier to find them every year. I guess in the US you could ask Cubans.

That's easy to do. It will simply become impossible to convince people to invest in their houses. Even force of law will fail. Go check out the "Maas-vallei" in the south of the Netherlands to see cities (10+) that really, re

I think the really important question is HOW this will happen. If you mean for the state to buy them at fair market value, nobody will object to that, not even if it closes the door to private equity. But that's not what you're ta

You mean spend more money on the elderly? You seem to misunderstand the purpose of this whole exercise. I will point out that the tax increase being proposed here is, of course, ALSO extra money for the state that people are expected to p

The thing I find infuriating about docker is once you try to use it for serious machine learning, you absolutely require mounting your data. On a small scale we're talking s3 mounts, for large scale it's ceph mounts or (please don

They voted and paid taxes based on a deal that was presented to them, in writing. Now the deal is being changed.

You forget the problem that's being solved here. It's not how to incentivize having kids. It's how to increase taxes while reducing pensions. Increasing the obligations of everyone currently working while decreasing what the

Are they still doing blocks so configuring either Google's DNS or Cloudflare DNS will still unblock the sites?

All governments are "doing something". It just isn't at all effective and mostly because they're unwilling to invest even marginal amounts. Like in this case. The technology here utterly depends on Google Play Services o

I wonder, can you ask it not to do that first, and check if that still happens?

I don't actually think so. Look at the company. Their beef is not any particular conflict. Their mission: "We stand up to tech giants and governments and for a future where technology is used to benefit everyone, not just the rich

Exactly, if there's one thing transformers are good at it's translation. One I've found particularly nice: any question ChatGPT can answer in English it can answer in French. I'm assuming Norwegian too. So there's n

This article unintentionally illustrates why chatgpt/gemini guardrails totally fail: it will happily explain you synthesis steps.

The problem with AI in European companies, I can predict. The reason call centers suck: 1) no real information given to the people answering the phone 2) insufficient system access given, often only the ability to send emails to the chatbot

Education was abandoned. And as people who are old enough know perfectly well, since this show has been played before: uneducated young people are largely extreme-right.

And you are discounting the notion that most of those other powers existed before the US. China did. Europe did. Ottoman empire/islam did. They didn't help. Where are the signs they've changed?

To say nothing of the fact that they can just add "figure out how to change the answer to this question to benefit X" at the top of their system query. It is baffling that any government lets either themselves or their local compa

Here's an evil theory: perhaps they had to really increase the size of Gemini Flash ... because otherwise it would have been close to or maybe even outperformed by Qwen 3.6 27b or something like that. Hence the cost.

I think the point is that when it comes to investment vehicles, gold generally beats cash. Oh and that means that in the last 20 years or so (ie. including the period where it didn't appreciate much), physical gold beats a balance in b

So now we're in the situation that Google’s recommended "for most tasks" Flash-tier model, Gemini 3.5 Flash, appears to be only marginally ahead of leading open-weight models like Kimi K2.6 and MiMo V2.5 Pro on independent ag
