Just a grift. Incredible timing. No different from a new Bible translation that comes out every year.

Europe’s own fault for not protecting their borders.

Until when? At what point? Where exactly? The Astra Zeneca (Oxford) vaccine is relevant because it was taken off the market almost immediately after the effects were found. The technology behind it is utterly irrelevant to the point that I

I agree. I say this as a eurosceptic myself. HN and Twitter make it seem like the EU is borderline third world that is moments away from collapse. Germany is the third largest economy in the world. The EU as a bloc is the second largest eco

This is definitely going on in the background. Mercosur and another EU trade deal with India. Canada and China (which was struck down but I imagine it will be rekindled with this). Just wait for some EU + Canada deal soon enough.

>In men younger than 40 years old, the number of excess myocarditis events per million people was higher after a second dose of mRNA-1273 than after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test (97 [95% CI, 91–99] versus 16 [95% CI, 12–18]). From your own

Because if you believe this fetus to be a human life then it follows believing that if it is terminated, it is akin to murder/infanticide. I don't know why people are being so (deliberatively?) reductive ITT.

Mine is still going strong, it can run Gemma 4 26b. It can still play all the games I care about at near max settings at 1440p at 60 FPS (like Elden Ring).# My PC did coincidentally die today (not GPU related) so I think it's time for

I wonder when the Anthropic and OpenAI bailouts will be? Maybe they’ll successfully lobby the US to enable drastic protectionist policies against foreign models. Anthropic have a lot to answer for. Not even Altman was that bold.

They’ll just criminalise private encryption for communication afterwards.

The problem with the EU is that there are many levels of abstraction, and the more links in a chain the more susceptible to corruption it is. This becomes immediately obvious when you vote for a party who fails to fulfill, or even go agains

That’s not true at all. While not as good as proprietary models they are still very good and can do A LOT, certainly more than their cost would make it seem. It’s only a matter of time before companies start to acknowledge the huge cost of

By your logic any book in existence can be banned at any point in time. It's a meaningless designation.

This is massively humiliating for Trump (and the US). None of the US' objectives were accomplished aside from "Iran never having a nuclear weapon" which was already established through the JCPOA, which Trump tore down and nev

The entire human population can fit within Los Angelas. It’s not a good metric in general. Pressure on public services, resources and housing is far more useful

You are assuming there won’t be free trade agreements. People need to stop saying what happened with Brexit will happen with Switzerland. Two completely different countries governed in two completely different ways.

The Swiss ruling class don’t have as much disdain for their populace. It will only end up that way if the Swiss people will it. A lot of the UK’s problems were a result of the EU being vindictive as well. The EU won’t act vindictively becau

I had an appointment with an ENT recently. He said that weight and age affects snoring mostly unless it’s some actual condition. The weight affects it because of some compression on the neck or something like that. I went because I had a de

I swear the industry is being Garry Tanned. Senior management let go our localisation staff. Now they want us to use AI to translate. They still want manual review. We use Github Copilot at work, we get a measly 300 requests with the budg

Their TV shows are definitely better than the movies by far but even then I can’t think of one that I watched that didn’t decline in quality as time went on. Even the last season of Stranger Things was pretty poor

I struggle to remember hardly anything memorable from Netflix, especially their movies, despite that amount of investment. K-Pop Demon Hunters, what else? The rest is mostly if not all slop. Even looking now at their top 10 most popular mov

Interestingly this is not something native to Tibetan Buddhists. Neoplatonists had something similar, and even Orthodox Christian monks speak about literally "praying ceaselessly" which inludes prayer during sleep, it's defin
