In a hypothetical well-crafted treaty (which I agree Russia would never sign) there would be penalties attached to breaking the conditions. Sanction snap-backs, for example.

Last Hungarian election international observers declared the election free but not fair. Correct counting of votes, but full government control over Hungarian news media blasting pro-Orban messaging for months.

Assuming the same thing happens, there is a real possibility that he legitimately loses to Peter Magyar’s party. Polls predict that Orban will lose (as usual, take polls with massive skepticism, but that’s the prediction).

My brother had a similar thing, and decided to just start shaving off everything and embracing the baldness. He’s been rockin’ the bald look ever since quite happily.

Not in an image it doesn’t

Came to the comments to add exactly this. Am I predictable, or is this just the natural reaction to this image?

Late response, but anyways: the big advantage over regular bank transfers is you can use it like a virtual card without Visa or Mastercard. In essence, the biggest draw is pushing US companies out of the EU financial system.

This is even dumber when you consider we’re ~2 years away from the launch of the Digital Euro. As easy and fast to transfer as a cryptocoin with none of the drawbacks. No Blockchain nonsense, backed by banks, transactions can be cancelled and refunded just like any digital transaction, and standardized to all EU banks.

Literally had a conversation with an antisemite today who blames all Jews for Israel’s actions

Wouldn’t be the first time a government banned a number

Like sysiphus, we must continue pushing up the hill, forever. There is no final victory. If you’re tired, trust in others to continue pushing, very understandable. Just don’t piss on the people continuing where you left off.

That was for tabling the vote, actual vote is happening on the 14th of October

I adored the presequel, did so many interesting things. The verticality, stomp attacks and oxygen masks were awesome. Also the low grav meant the maps could be way more varied and interesting.

Waited for the reviews for the third (never pre-order, always wait for reviews!) and it just seemed so… mid. Definitely happy I dropped out of that franchise when I did.

It’s the law of large numbers. There were a lot of people in that crowd, and a lot of cameras. People make weird movement and have weird tics all the time. It’s statistically impossible for there to not be at least a few people who made some strange move right then and there.

And then the recipient of the knowledge realizes the problem was never the technology, it’s the incentive structure of the system.

You can’t run an LLM on a crappy PC, that’s true. You need at least a decent CPU. If you’re running an LLM locally, there’s no calls to the outside world. I have a very mid computer, it isn’t great, and unfortunately I need to work with LLMs due to my job. A call to my local LLM might take ~2 minutes where using an online platform it might take ~30 seconds, but I think that’s a reasonable trade.

If you have a gaming PC, you have a platform that can run a local LLM.

If you really really want/need an LLM for some reason, install ollama. It’s the only safe and easy way to do it.

Just get it from the AUR.

That sentence has a very different meaning to Romanians :))

I’m on Fedora with Plasma & Wayland, everything just works… Honestly not sure if Fedora is doing something special or all this talk of Plasma being crashy is overblown.

Don’t be ashamed of being a Luddite. The Luddites were actually fighting for a righteous cause.

You got me interested, so I searched around and found this:

So, if I understand this correctly, the only fundamental difference between level 4 and 5 is that 4 works on specific known road types with reliable quality (highways, city roads), while level 5 works literally everywhere, including rural dirt paths?

I’m trying to imagine what other type of geographic difference there might be between 4 and 5 and I’m drawing a blank.
