How does encouraging Germany to be self sufficient and maintain their own energy generation capabilities with nuclear power result in them being the USA’s puppy?

I understand diversification to avoid over reliance, but isn’t that exactly what happened with over reliance on Russian energy sources? To Ukraine and Europe as a whole’s detriment?

Indeed, it seems there are some externalities that a 100% free market doesn’t protect against for which regulation is probably the best tool.

A regulation here that applies to all app stores is even business friendly as an appstore which wanted to do this already wouldn’t be punished by trying to do this on their own, for the reasons you mentioned.

Largely agree. As a fellow red blooded american, I love my freedoms as well, but looking at how other people drive on the road, I’ll know when self driving has been solved because insurance companies will charge very differently for cars driven manually than cars driven by software.

Maybe software will never get good enough, but that’s not a bet I would make.

Those are my conclusions as well, though I want to note anyone who paid attention to her campaign rather than getting it second hand or third off of vibes would not have made the claim that she “straight up said she wouldn’t have changed anything”.

A lot of voters in the middle aren’t taking the time to understand why things seem to keep not changing (somewhat understandably so, but also unfortunately given the need for an engaged electorate in a healthy democracy). Both parties are being sticks in the mud, but one in particular is doing a lot more to keep change from happening than the other.

In the usa we have an overemphasis on the president, but we’ve slow walked ourselves into a dysfunctional congress that just can’t do anything. The point of democracy is to let the best ideas win, and part of that is being able to try those ideas out, and respond when they don’t work. Having a senate with two votes per state regardless of population, that are only replaced a third at a time, with an archaic but also recent rule that effectively requires 60/100 vote to pass almost anything meaningful, is just a recipe for failure.

End the filibuster as it is today. If you want a filibuster, force people to talk for it the way it worked for the first ~150 years of our country at least.

Right, which is why Bar is typically described as a TA successor, not a SupCom/FAF successor. Both solid RTSs that serve different play styles.

I thought this was generally known?

I don’t have any familiarity with what’s considered the state of the art here, but I was wondering if the number of nand gates used is significant? So maybe this is neat because it uses less than was though possible?

Edit: looks like from reading some additional comments here that this isn’t particularly novel in that regard though…

By that expansive definition, any cloud software provider can do the same thing and so should also be a supply chain risk.

This whole fiasco is happening because the defense dept wanted to use anthropic models in a way not allowed in the existing contract. Anthropic stuck to the contract, and the def dept tried to be punitive about it.

If they can’t get what they want from the seller, fine go to a different seller, but the supply chain risk is just government overreach.

Curious to hear more details about your harness and setup if you’re open to sharing.

I don’t think they have 4.1 flash in the graph, fwiw

Unfortunately the general population are going to have to hurt more before they begin being open to those options, assuming they don’t try to kill ai in general.

I think the screen might be the same diagonal length but it looks wider overall…

I’m a little disappointed with how big it looks folded, I was hoping for a mini that could unfold…

Or it’s like being an engineering manager, where poor direction on your part results in the team chasing rainbows and unicorns in an attempt to please you. But sure, it’s the tool’s fault!

Anec-data, but I was in japan recently on my honeymoon, was in some big and small cities, and I was shocked at how fast people were driving on exactly these types of roads. I grew up in a neighborhood where the speedlimit is 20mph, which is slightly higher than this new regulation, so fwiw I think I can recognize when cars are going faster than that as they wiz by me.

So I’m pretty optimistic about this change, better than they way things are now at least.

One could argue that it’s all the centralization and monopolistic behavior which hinders tech development in the usa. So a breakup might have short term stutters but long term gains.
