Ukraine’s attacking with fewer resources and fewer men in a war of attrition. Ukraine simply cannot win in that context.

This offensive != war.

Ukrainian strategy is fucking insane to watch and Russia simply isn’t incurring the losses necessary to pull out of the conflict.

It will likely take a couple more years to see who will outlast who.

Of course Ukraine can win. But I understand why a Russian imperialist would like everybody to believe that Russia is undefeatable (even though Russia was defeated many times).

you’ve bled half of your able-bodied men to either the frontline or the border.

It’s Russia who spills Ukrainian blood, let’s be clear about that.

But seeing your post history, you’re a Russian imperialist / apologist, so I guess you know that and just twist facts intentionally…

The problem with saying LLMs are AI - let alone a step towards AGI - is that they cannot create.

I’m not sure if there’s an intrinsic difference between humans and LLMs here. What we, including children, do is just re-hashing, re-combinating what they’ve seen / heard. I think it would be very difficult to prove that people come up with completely brand-new ideas without any external inspiration (= training input).

The examples are not really convincing of your point. The GPT output is pretty good given the ask, I’m not sure if my daughter would fare better.

I’m not a fan of discussing such terms since it devolves into arguing vague definitions.

Assuming LLMs are not intelligent, they prove that you can do heck of a lot without even being intelligent.

Easy to say, difficult to do in practice.

This is not just some random Musk garbage, but actual Twitter privacy policy and publuc should be thus be aware.

GPT might not be a step towards AGI, but it proves that even non-general AI can be pretty strong and have a very wide range of applications.

Protest voters willing to vote far right is not really making things better. I don’t understand how people wanting to ban it are relevant…

Right. On the other hand its Austrian cousin FPÖ is currently polling first 🤮

It’s quite easy to get rid of billionaires (raise taxes, they will move away), but it’s a question whether it is really beneficial for the country.

The point of the question is how much money does one need in a liquid form as opposed to less liquid investments.

Batteries were phone specific but it wasn’t a big problem to find them. I bought several for my Note 3 and it allowed me to use the phone for a long time.

Isn’t Samsung DEX exactly that?

You can get way more compact mirrorless, my Fuji X-E3 + 35mm f/2 is 550g and the difference in image quality is very clear.

That switch was more than 10 years ago.

Forcing people to be responsible for more than their immediate actions

What you’re saying is that children should carry the responsibility for the acts of their ancestors.

if I include an unjust status quo in my reasoning, then I might also use violence to free myself from the consequences of past violence, but that would not create a “cycle” wherein a stable, nonviolent state cannot be reached, since every “allowed” instance of violence would still only be associated one-to-one with an equivalent instance of “disallowed” violence.

Who’s the judge of whether it’s “allowed” violence? If we say that the status quo of Franco-German relationship is built on the past injustice, and that this should be fixed, who will count all the past centuries of wars and massacres and calculate the outstanding balance?

Because if you let it both sides do it for themselves, then they both will naturally come to the conclusion that they’ve been unjustly treated and that the other side has to pay for that. In the end it will be the stronger one, not the morally correct one, who wins. For a time, then the sides will switch => cycle of violence is IMHO unavoidable if you hold the opinion that past sins are never forgotten.

Now, if my family’s wealth was robbed long ago, I would have a right to recover it

History is basically never so nicely clear-cut. I mean, have you studied your family tree and made sure that all of that family wealth was gathered via perfectly moral means? What if it turns out that your grand grandfather was a soldier who brought home some gold of dubious origins?

It’s a problem for people who indebted themselves to buy those homes with a valuation based on scarcity. Also a problem for the real estate Chinese companies, sector which represents a quarter of Chinese economy.

The problem is that it’s all a huge “what if” amenable for any narrative you want. In the end it provides justification for the never ending cycle of violence on people having no personal guilt.

Sure, but a much smaller one.
