Yes, eurohate is real. Don’t get why though

Well at least 10x better than in the US now

Well I think this it at least improvement to the status quo

The vast majority of HN users are from the US.

Not really Bold, yes GDP per capita is lower in many countries than the US, but top tier in almost every other index: low crime rates, clean cities, high quality of living, childfriendliness, longevity, access to healthcare, liveable cities

Great read, though huggingface is French, not American

They are not incompetent in general. Most stuff works pretty well in Europe and better than in most of the world. We just focus on the bad regulations

Actually having worked in big companies,many of them just track everything, but don’t actually use the data, which is even worse.

Actually the purpose was not to invade our privacy as much, which we do and there is active lobbying (for example by Google) against any better solution: https://noyb.eu/en/eu-member-states-and-google-suddenly-want...

we could have settled on privacy compliant tracking without cookies, which is possible or use browser preferences and respect those (which would be perfectly legal)

It is not an EU law. Nowhere in GDPR are cookie banners mandated. Actually big tech is to blame: https://killthecookiebanner.eu/

Actually cookies are not mandated by the EU, but this was the solution the big companies agreed on and now Google and Co try to lobby against better solutions. Check out: https://killthecookiebanner.eu/

Of course, but there is also enough evidence. And you have yet to produce any logical, evidence-based argument that would counter that evidence

Not only, also about more extreme weather changes happen regularly and for example in Austria we had now the hottest sommer to be ever recorded.

Actually the reverse is true. I would encourage you to think more and actually read and understand what 99% of science says since 50 years and why so many people come to the same results

You should stop thinking about sides. There are no sides. There are different opinions and facts

Thinking for yourself doesn’t mean rejecting science and 50 years of research in an area where there’s a rare 99% consensus among scientists (check: Lynas et al., Environmental Research Letters), just because some guys on social media said

Exactly! Politics try to appease the mass. If the mass would be willing to put climate change first we would have other policies, instead we follow the dark visions of lunatic billionaires

Actually not quite true: Memory is distributed across synaptic weights rather than sitting at an address or location. The difference is that human retrieval isn’t a read operation, reconsolidation means recalling a memory destabilizes it an

Yes there is no definitive proof, but the reverse is also not true. Please read some science on that in neurology and biology. Yes it is hard to define, though there are definitions and those are not fulfilled by a LLM, What’s missing is a
