So, the answer to the question "Do western AI models mostly default to white people?" is clearly a resounding: no, they don't.

But why? That image actually puzzled me. Does it have some background context? Some historical legend or something of the like?

Yes, and your government takes 57% of the total GDP to themselves, rely on an external power (that’s less and less friendly) for their protection and are on the track to their 6th prime minister in less than 2 years (is it 6th? I’ve lost tr

They actually should be able to, for the most part. The original idea of state exists to ensure 3 things: - Protection of the territory of the state - Protection of the integrity of the individual citizen - Protection of the private propert

I wish I could live in your bubble, where disliking the state forcibly taking away 50% of my salary (more actually) to redistribute to people that don't contribute to society and to waste in severely mismanaged public services is &quot

Great. Are British free to opt out? You know, they don’t pay into the NHS and they don’t get to use it. Are they? I mean, if it’s such a great idea and universally loved, it’s weird it needs to be imposed by force. Doesn’t it?

Every Brit has also used a Pub multiple times. Let’s nacionalize them and make them “free”.

> They're employer _contributions_ to the system. Nice. Look, I had a great idea for 0% worker taxes in France. You just change all the taxes accounting to make the numbers look like you take them from the employee instead of the wo

Can you define it then? What point does it start and what point does it stop being a welfare state.

Well, life isn't that easy then, because you failed to comprehend URSSAF's simulation tool. On a €2500 gross salary you take home €1651 (which is a very low salary in France very close to the minimum salary). But I guess you think

But it isn't a question of security. The project would very much like the developers to be able to run the pipelines on their machines. It's just that management don't see it as worth it, in terms of development cost and limi

I agree, but this is kind of an unachievable dream in medium to big projects. I had this fight for some years in my present work and was really nagging in the beginning about the path we were getting into by not allowing the developers to r

Happy user of GitLab CI here. I see the appeal of GitHub for sharing open source - the interface is so much cleaner and easier to find all you are looking for (GitLab could improve there). But for CI/CD GitHub doesn’t even come close t

My non political take about this gift that keeps on giving is that: PDF might seem great for the end user that is just expected to read or print the file they are given, but the technology actually sucks. PDF is basically a prettify layer o

Of course, that's just like I said: Democrats were sitting on all those juicy details about pedophile Republicans for 5 years and decided to do nothing, even with elections at the door. Sure Jan. You people need help. Nobody can be san

Oh, so, it's just a way to have it parse iMessages when the laptop is off, basically? (I'm trying to think of special mac only services that the AI bot will check, but I can only come up with iMessages).

Oh yes, I'm absolutely sure the Democrats were just sitting on a treasure trove of - only - Republican Party members' pedophile crimes for 5 years, and they did nothing because they are useless and couldn't get bothered with

I keep seeing posts about OpenClaw (I still didn’t try it myself) but I don’t get the constant references to the Mac Minis. Why are people needing the Mac Minis? Isn’t OpenClaw supposed to run locally in your laptop? And if it actually sho

The democrats had these files and all that information in their power for what? 5 years? And what did they do? Stop making this a partisan issue. It’s not, and nobody that’s not completely biased beyond any rationality will ever see it as s

I didn't say creating isn't illegal. I said I think it probably shouldn't be illegal. Any crime that doesn't cause victims is just another way for an oppressive collectivist state to further control their citizens. If yo

That’s completely false. You ALWAYS have to show your ID card to fly in the EU. Always. Seriously, just stop trying to use us to justify silly arguments about the USA. Yes, Europeans must show ID to travel, must absolutely show ID to vote (

That’s not what 1 is about. The problem for 1 is how do you dissipate heat without being in contact with a lower temperature mass. Creating a vacuum on earth would solve nothing as the heath would still have to escape the vacuum.
