Exactly. If Orbáns past failures had been as over-reported as his posturing, people would be way less surprised about his current democratic loss.

Lol, thanks Vance for giving Magyar Peti the boost.

ÁRAD A TISZA ♥️🤍💚!

Their priorities are different than yours. Immigration is not that big an issue, the Nazis traditionally get their 5%, and there is 0 incentive in rhetorically appeasing you.

As unflattering as it might seem, I wholeheartedly agree with the last part.

I concur with most answers here, describing LLMs as useful in specific situations (e.g. video editing), but straight-up unreliable whenever critical thinking and correctness are required (e.g. software development).

What I’d add to this, is that whatever the benefits of the technology might be, the current monetary cost is orders of magnitude above profitability. The billions invested into hardware for data centres… that’s just gone. Nvidia might sell off the unused hardware at a loss, unprofitable LLM data centres might still get repurposed into something useful, but the bets made on replacing human professionals with eternally stupid chatbots will never pay out. The money’s already gone and we still haven’t begun to experience the full extent of this economic disaster.

I still get flashbacks…

The one that springs to mind is the German bekommen v the English to become.

They are basically the same word and at one point might’ve meant the same. Now there is no common meaning.

So… species which haven’t invented television (all others) are by this definition “smarter” than that which did (us), because they don’t suffer a downside of the technology?

Reminds me of a drunken conversation with a pubby about how he thought birds and fish were “smarter” than us, because they had to navigate in 3D instead of on a plane. At least that guy had half a point…

There’s a plot point about this in the Expanse. The series only mentions it shortly in that season where they had to cut half the stuff (though maybe not that).

Cool that we can achieve radiosynthesis without sci-fi magic. A pity Chernobyl had to happen for this discovery.

90% of everything I read/write is either plaintext, explicit .md, or some .md-adjacent proprietary markup language (Atlassian, BBcode,…)

Fluently? Hungarian, English, German, Romanian, and French, in that order.

I like to joke that Equilibrium had more member changes than the contestant field of a casting show.

Aww, if you’d only said Deimos…

Finnish rap slaps. Here’s a classic: youtu.be/DsfSLemDYQg

According to an eyewitness, someone held a champagne bottle with a burning Roman candle in it too close to the ceiling (iirc she was already high up on someone’s shoulders), causing a quick deflagration through the wooden structure.

Here’s an article with a picture showing the sparks igniting what seems to be very shoddily installed, uncovered isolation foam.

There’s some variance here. I’m from the Partium and Protestants tend to use the more secular Télapó (Father Winter), Catholics the Jézuska (Baby Jesus), while my relatives from Transylvania proper call it “the angel” (e.g. Mit hozott az angyal?)

ITT: people judging the vote and the voters by the magnanimous title alone.

The initiatives were worded and implemented so poorly, that it wouldn’t surprise me if the initiants wanted to lose both these votes.

1. The inheritance tax would have caused mass nationalisations and it had pegged the tax proceeds to go towards climate goals instead of let’s say the federal pension fund deficit (AHV-Loch). It would be incorrect to state that the voters don’t support an inheritance tax or climate goals based on this vote.
2. The “service citoyen” proposal would have made some kind of civil or military service mandatory for all, but would have essentially reduced the military to a volunteer force, which would be socially unacceptable. The Swiss have a historically repeatedly confirmed will to keep a citizen’s militia as the country’s only security force.

Your point is valid but less relevant. Lithium is an alkali metal found in different sources than rare earths, with Australia and South America producing the most.

Rare earths are expensive to refine which is why western mines and refineries have been outcompeted by China. If we were to subsidise local production we’d have an abundance, e.g. from Scandinavia.

fwiw, “section” means platoon in French.

it’s not that rare to get a male-only platoon, a company on the other hand…
