What anti-intellectual horse shit. Carney has a PhD in economics, for one. But there are many: Tomáš Masaryk, Manmohan Singh, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Ricardo Lagos, Mary Robinson, Lee Teng-hui, Tsai Ing-wen, Mario Draghi, Angela Merkel, Claudia Sheinbaum.

All these people have been been at the forefront of b ringin freedom, democracy, and well being to their populations. If anything, the "fun facts" show that academics can make great leaders.

Yes, that is an option, but not the only option. Mistral also provides an api that is hosted by an EU company as far as I understand.

Uh yes? Definitely wouldnt use for anything sensitive.

None of the things you mentioned have anything to do with whether or not a candidate is fascist. No “mental gymnastics” are needed.

I’ve been using the latest agentic frameworks and have come to realize that the discourse around vibe coding and slop really needs more nuance.

There is a gulf of difference between someone who doesn’t understand how to program “vibe coding” software and an experienced software developer using ai to write code with heavy direction, review, and best practices.

Today both would be said to be “vibe coded” but we really need to differentiate them. Also, if everything I’m hearing from people is true, it sounds like most corporate code is now completely ai written in the latter way I described. It’s interesting we don’t hear commercial software being called slop yet. Maybe it’s coming.

In any case, ai is far more capable than I realized. Not sure what to make of it.

You should leave and revoke your citizenship.

My father can't even use the apple tv box I got him because the UI is so difficult to see. It's maddening.

Apple in fact did withdraw their security features in Britain over a similar law. It's not simply crying wolf, these companies will withdraw.

Important services have already said they won't. It will be a disaster.

Indeed. I've also sent several emails to my MP. Sadly I've received no response. :-/

They don't really need to, most are trained on roughly the same data: everything they can get their hands on.

These days you can land in jail for simply bad mouthing the government. US needs to strengthen its adherence to their constitutions. Words on paper are useless if they aren't followed.

The latest version has already removed most of the worst of the changes, if you set your settings right.

The Apple TV one drives me insane. The selected button is so subtly raised that it takes a lot to see. Usually I need to move it back and forth and look for the motion.

The new Mistral large is already competitive and it hasn't even finished training.
