It is worth pointing out that we Northern Europeans can only afford this because we have a small group of highly competitive and wealth generating companies and sectors. We would be in a dire situation here in Denmark without Novo Nordisk. 1-2 years ago it was Maersk, DSV etc. that held up our economy because freight prices were high.

It is also interesting that some of highest income people on Earth use the archive trick instead of paying to get through the paywall.

Who actually pays for legacy media anymore?

It's a playground to try out various free open source LLMs. You seem to have picked the default one. Try mixtral-8x7b-instruct. It gave the following answer:

>The color of your house is likely caused by the paint or material used on the exterior. Blue paint or blue-colored siding, shingles, or other building materials would cause your house to appear blue.

>It's become apparent that the Israeli political/war/propaganda machine has an incredible amount of influence - far beyond anything I'd personally imagined could be possible. They've been able to effectively commandeer most of the West's "traditional" mass media

Why make up blatant lies like this when mainstream media has been very critical of Israel for the past few weeks? The only exception is Fox News.

Interesting that Discord has automatic systems for this. Is it LLM-based?

What is the purpose of including the RISC-V Compressed 16-bit extension set in what is supposed to be a HPC chip? Most embedded/IoT RISC-V implementations include that for obvious reasons but why here?

The reason people think only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed is that is lowball number the UN made up to not offend and anger Russia and China.

It is estimated that 25,000-75,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just in Mariupol and surrounding areas.

>Even that, has x10 less the civilian rate death.

What a blatant lie. The Siege of Mariupol alone is estimated to have killed somewhere between 25000 and 75000 civilians. The UN's fraudulent claim that "only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed" is a blatant lie to keep China and Russia happy.

Any discussion about collateral damage should take population density into consideration. The population density of Ukraine is 63 per square kilometer. The population density of Gaza is 5500 per square kilometer.

The internationally recognized State of Palestine is made up of two disjoint territories: Gaza and the West Bank. Israel gave peace a chance and left Gaza in 2005. The Palestinians immediately turned Gaza into a forward base and started attacking Israel. Israel only started the "blockade" (inspecting imports into Gaza) in 2007.

The UN is blatantly biased. There are ~50 Islamic states in the UN that compulsively always vote against Israel. These Islamic states have even made rambling and screaming about Israel a mandatory ceremony (Item 7) at UNHRC sessions.

One of the two cameras is the ultra-wide camera so it gets some additional parallax and visual information than just the separation to the other camera.

French engineering and computer science education really emphasizes math and theory. That is an advantage in AI.
