I also don't see why any content generated by an LLM could or should be illegal.

Cannot see how it could be illegal? If it does something against a law it'll be illegal. Just because there's some technology involved doesn't absolve that from laws.

I remember a case where someone complained about the incorrect statement an LLM produced about some public figure. The judge ruled it had to be corrected.

Meanwhile orban bringing MANY immigrants to hungary, intentionally

He should've learned from the Netherlands. Right wing made claims about asylum seekers. While showing immigration figures.

In Netherlands immigration is not due to asylum seekers. Immigration consist of students and knowledge workers.

Anyway, they said there was a huge issue with reuniting families of asylum seekers. There wasn't an issue, it was just claimed.

Netherlands now have a radical right wing government. Based off of untrue statements. They're planning to save loads of money, just need the EU to make those happen. Meaning, it won't happen. Obvious plan is to blame the EU for things which are predictable.

But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides

Another common tactic/fallacy is exaggerating the claim. Example: saying something "screams" about "both sides". The bit about screaming is unneeded and is just added to make it easy to argue against it.

and others taking legitimate criticism of biden as people screaming both sides

That's not the same and not what is meant as "both sides". And again, people aren't screaming. I'd maybe take your comment more seriously if it didn't ignore things while adding a fallacy to discuss a common fallacy.

Some people go out of their way to not understand or not see something.

no one is voting Biden

Aside from the loads of people voting for him.

Loads of people are repeatedly saying that Biden oud somehow not something to vote for. While Trump would be a good candidate? Your argument just doesn't make sense. There is a huge difference between these two.

Edit: further reflection, people easily forget history. But Biden won against Trump. Though less relevant now due to right wing media distorting things. People seem to have forgotten what Trump is like as president.

genocide Joe

That's a tired claim as well. Ignored that after he blocked some support that the Republicans went out of their way to ensure that support is sent anyways? It's not on Biden. That said, I don't agree with the support.

Ah, the incorrect claim regarding "Both Sides"

baru ,

No he doesn't, lol, he only helps people if they are continually useful to him

Not exactly true. He did various one-off favours in the past . I think you're too negative about Trump. See for instance an article to explain that Trump is rumoured to have helped various people as a one-off thing: https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2023/05/16/giuliani-spoke-about-selling-pardons-for-2-million-and-splitting-proceeds-with-trump-accuser-claims/

Anyway, for anyone too lazy to look at that link. The article is about Trump helping people by giving out pardons, just needed a one-off 2 million usd gift. There wasn't a need to be useful to Trump after that. Yes, my entire reply is a sarcastic one.

We all know that's not going to happen.

Russia will not leave on its own no.

It's time to do something about it.

The first commenter repeated Russian bs about giving land. This while I'm the past Russia already took land, then greatly expanded and were attacking all of Ukraine.

So wondering if you're trying to repeat Russian bs or intend that Ukraine should get enough to get rid of Russia.

There's a person for the democrats, there's one for the republicans. Due to the voting system only two parties matter. Why invite someone else? Doesn't make sense. Don't get why you make that as blocking.

I though the use case was that these reactors can be mass produced in a factory and not require large scale infrastructure projects?

The mass production takes time to build up. It takes time to get experience. I've read various articles around SMRs. For at least the first 9 there will not be any mass production. It'll be very costly.

Usually production improves as more is produced. Possibly it improves by the experience gained, possibly by a new factory.

It'll not be immediately cheap and mass produced. While that is often claimed for SMRs.

As small ones aren't as efficient, it'll be more costly per kWh. That it'll be cheaper than regular nuclear power seems mostly wishful thinking.

baru ,

My first issue with this, is that he's still using his information from 2013.

That's actually a thing against nuclear power. For decades it's the best thing. But often drawbacks are only solved in a new design that isn't in a lot of nuclear power stations. And if they're actually build then the cost overrun by a factor of 2 and more.

It's always the next iteration that'll solve things. It seems to be like a costly way to produce power if it'll be built. Existing ones can be cheap, but then there are often several technical versions out of date.

baru ,

The sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't always blow.

Which is why you connect countries together. Combined with having more than enough capacity. And battery storage.

All of that is still significantly cheaper than nuclear. Plus it can be built way faster.

Nuclear is expensive and takes ages. And that's just the budget, it'll easily go crazy over budget and be a decade late.

And wind turbines and small scale hydroplants are not nearly as effective

You can easily see how much energy those wind turbines produce. I haven't seen your claim made in many years. It simply isn't true. Just check the production of the various wind farms.

Like promises not to do mass layoffs.

And what if that promise is broken? It shouldn't just have promises, there should be clear consequences attached as well. Else it'll just be a broken contract or promise. That can end up in legal stuff for ages.

Prices usually go down as production increases, no? And it's not really about increased production, more about gaining experience in producing it.

Ah, the magical technological advancement that is only possible with hydrogen. While ignoring the advancements with EVs.

At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise.

EVs are already way more efficient. You're repeating things that have been discussed ages ago as something new.

According to the French road safety observatory 84% of fatal car accidents in 2022-2023 were caused by men.

How many kms do men drive vs women? And does it differ across the type of road? And what about age?

In Netherlands if there's a couple often the man drives, not the woman. It used to be way more expensive to insure yourself as a man. That until they said it wasn't allowed anymore. Then suddenly insurance rates were dropped quite a bit for men, hardly went up for women.

I'm guessing/wondering if there's a difference on how often a man drives vs a woman. Coupled with testosterone effects for men under 25 or so. In Netherlands men under 25 aren't known to dive safely.

84% is still huge, but seems they aren't looking at the right figure.

For online stuff, they'd have to know location in order to provide a post-tax price

Or they advertise a price and then make a slightly different amount per city and so on. That's how it is done sometimes for stuff sold in multiple European countries for the same price.

Ya know what would reduce carbon even more and pretty much eliminate microplastics: Rail.

Container shipping is more efficient than tail though per km travelled. Just look up the figures.

Rail would be great instead of trucks, but there's quite a few complications to go from truck to rail.

But it takes ages to build houses. You're again blaming something that's a given just to ignore that housing is a basic need. Obviously if the basic need is manipulated there's loads of money to be made.

Qualcomm: better support for amd

Intel usually has two type of WiFi adapters. One tries on things in their CPUs, the other one doesn't. So it a bit strange that this video finds it surprising that there's a version tied to Intel CPUs. I'd always get the one that doesn't need an Intel CPU. This as it'll impact your CPU less,, Intel or not.
