My personal hope is that this is the end of the Russian Federation. It’s an enormous country which has oppressed and subjugated a bunch of different cultural and ethnic groups to homogenize Russian society according to the leaders’ ideals for a long time and I think it would be better if it was split into smaller countries that would hopefully allow for actual democracy closer to the people.
The problem is that the previous accumulation of capital has centralized a lot of power in actors who have a financial incentive to stop renewables. If we could hit a big reset on everything then yes, I think renewables would win, but we’re dealing with a lot of very rich, very powerful people who really want us to keep being dependent on them.
C++ is unironically my favorite language, especially coding in python feels so ambiguous and you need to take care of so many special cases that just wouldn’t even exist in C++.
Gets me soooo hard
I think I know what you meant but be aware that this can be very misinterpreted.
And you can use it on GNU Not Unix!
Every US president would have accepted it, most heads of state of any country in the world throughout history would have accepted it.
I’m sure wanting to shoot black people with automatic weapons has no correlation with fascistic ideals either.
Vattenfall? Like the swedish state-owned supplier of hydropower? That Vattenfall?
maybe we should not be building our world around the premise that it is
I feel like this is a really important bit. If LLMs turn out to have unsolvable issues that limit the scope of their application, that’s fine, every technology has that, but we need to be aware of that. A fallible machine learning model is not dangerous; AI-based grading, plagiarism checking, resume-filtering, coding, etc. without skepticism is dangerous.
LLMs probably have very good applications that could not be automated in the past but we should be very careful of what we assume those things to be.
I think I fail to see the relevance a bit. Jews marking others is not only horrific but ironic because that’s part of how they were oppressed in the events leading up to the holocaust.
I would just like to give props to you for owning up and listening to the information. I do not in any way think that you were wrong in your reasoning, just that there was more context that is likely relevant which you hadn’t been privy to, and once you were informed of it you reevaluated. Not everyone does that and I think a very valuable part of this community is when people do that (I know I’m not always particularly good at it myself).
There’s a joke that when the recommendation from the pandemic for standing six feet apart was removed, Finnish people sighed in relief because they could finally go back to their usual ten feet.
What are you talking about, when have I insulted you?
Regardless, you didn’t provide much of a rebuttal to the information other than calling it cherry-picked and bullshit attempts at paltering.
So, you’re no longer arguing the topic but the person, do you have any rebuttal for the facts that they’ve presented? Any reason why you should be trusted above SVK?
Two things that are relevant is that Sweden is very, very dark during the winter which reduces the profitability of solar and also that it’s extremely difficult to get approval for wind turbines right now.
Municipalities have the power to veto building projects and almost all of them choose to block wind power installations. Wind turbines generate sound, both audible and infrasound (which can disturb sleep), and are sometimes considered a bit of an eyesore which can both reduce the value of properties near them and make people less inclined to move to that region which reduces tax income for the municipality. This could be offset by taxation of the wind power, but currently all taxable income from wind turbines go to the state instead of any of the local governments.
There was recently an inquiry into how to make municipalities more likely to approve wind power construction and the restriction that the government gave them was that they were not allowed to suggest tax revenue being diverted to the local government. Which was the only suggestion that they said would be effective.
So… yeah.
The thing is, with a certain model you could get a perfect 1:1 copy but that’s not really the point. I have a degree that includes machine learning and I believe it’s imperative that we have legislation that protects content owners and puts restrictions on what data you’re allowed to use to train your models. Not because I don’t understand but because I do understand.
Haphazardly introducing this technology at a large scale in society will come with serious consequences, not to mention the consequences to privacy if we don’t curtail what data that companies are allowed to scrape from the internet just because they throw in buzzwords about “AI” in somewhere.
This is fundamentally not about being pro-technology or anti-technology, it’s about how we value private citizens versus corporations.
From the article:
On Thursday, 22 June, Russians reported an attack on a bridge on the administrative border between Kherson Oblast and Crimea near Chonhar.
Not to mention that Smirnova was offered to tap sabers and instead decided to sit and pout for close to an hour.
That’s a false equivalence, this isn’t exactly cooperation towards a mutually beneficial goal, this is just trying to reduce support for a country which by sheer coincidence is an enemy of Putin.
Where? I have never experienced this before.
