This is their government. Vance is their puppet. This is what they wanted.

Andreesen's little pseudo-manifesto a couple years back was fairly explicitly taking anti-liberal positions, and some that were outright anti-enlightenment.

Not surprising really. We now see an alliance between the tech sector of the US economy and the oil and gas sector. Remember Putin is effectively oil baron/executive, not just the leader of a country.

I do not know who downvoted this. I am providing a factual correction to the parent post.

OpenAI has had many releases since gpt4. Many of them have been substantial upgrades. I have considered gpt4 to be outdated for almost 5-6 months now, long before claudes patch.

This is an absolutely insane way to present a website on a desktop computer.

I'm simplifying:
Stallman told us that free software was the only way.
ESR said open source was the way with business in mind.

We've ended up with businesses taking advantage of open source. The slew of licence changes to not compete, having special paid versions, and generally shitting on the open source community.

The only thing free, is the labour companies are exploiting.

It sounds like you think therapy can replace medication just because some numbers on a spreadsheet fit together. If that's the case I have to tell you that you're misled and I suggest you talk to some real people who actually had to deal with depression.

Antidepressants can be a life-changer in ways that placebo could never match, and can be necessary to even be able to go see a therapist.

Irrelevant. This measures trust towards USA to send their people who are willing to fight implied by them joining the military, not willingness to fight amongst the general public.

So maybe in this story, LLMs are not so much the stones (trickery) but rather the pot (the unlocking technology).
The ones wishing for peace most are the Ukrainians.

However the Ukrainians also want a country where they can live in peace. Not under Russian occupation, not in fear of Russia breaking the agreement, again. (After agreeing to Ukrainian souveranity while Ukraine gave up their Nukes, after agreeing to the Minsk Memorandum after occupying Crimea)
Trump can't provide that because any "security guarantee" from the US would essentially translate into "send armed troops", which is something that would run counter to his campaign stance.

> I am so bewildered why it keeps getting referenced in "let's get away from Google Chrome" threads

At the end of the day, it’s not Google Chrome. I’ve mentioned in other comments that Brave isn’t my top 1, 2 or 3 choice, so I won’t rehash that here, but I think it absolutely belongs in a conversation as an alternative for people that want to get away from Google Chrome. The basic skeleton that composes Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers mostly isn’t the issue, because Chrome is and always has been technically excellent. It’s all the other crap Google started grafting on top of it that is, on top of their stance (backed up by many many web developers here) that the standards and web technologies that Google supports should be the standards and web technologies that all browsers support and prioritize.
Google engineers are paid pretty freaking well. Almost double of what a regular company would pay.
> How did you survive 26 years without any license to our input?

Might be a case of covering their asses in the context of services they provide for search suggestions etc. Those are not mere programs users run on their own devices, and they rather make use of services run by Mozilla, which probably leads to their lawyers seeing the need for legally covering Mozilla ass.

A less charitable interpretation is that they actually want to introduce terms for using the software itself, in a way that conflicts with the no-nonsense "no restrictions on use" approach of open source, and thus ignoring open source principles in preference for covering their asses against hypothetical risks, while somehow still trying to look like open source.

In any case I agree the blog post or the update don't make anything better. I don't think the post says anything substantial about the terms of use or their introduction. It doesn't, in concrete terms, clarify anything about the seeming conflict between the introduction of terms of use and the commonly accepted definition of open source (which includes no restrictions on use). The post rather seems like a classic case of trying to make things better with nice-sounding words rather than owning up and actually clarifying any ambiguity.
> Maybe he should remember from what country his parents came and what happened to the billionaires there.

They became the oligarchs that now run the country? These days it seems America is pursuing the same dream.
I think we have completely different views of things, how did Russia become the nuclear bully?. Are you aware of several nuclear pre-emptive strike plans that have been floating around lately in the U.S against Russia, how can the whole Ukraine 'organic' uprising be a thing when Russia is next door. Imagine if Canada suddenly went through an 'organic' uprising and decided it wanted to join the Chinese NATO equivalent, would anyone believe that possible without prior assurances?, how would the U.S respond?.

The whole 51st state cannot be a Trump only thing, he is too stupid for that, more than likely its some plan that someone told him about it and he couldn't keep quiet about it. Take into account that the whole Ukraine owing the U.S half of its mineral wealth wasn't just a Trump thing, Biden was promoting it too but he was quiet about it.

From my pov China and Russia have been the rational actors, the U.S is acting irrationally as it sees their influence crumble. They are unwilling to compete with China and want to go back to the good ol days when 'organic' coups would just happen whenever a government decided not to take whatever deal they offered.

If anything, it is the U.S that is the nuclear bully.
Exactly. Nukes are the ultimate guarantor of piece.

What do you think will be the last skills/jobs to go obsolete?

I think it's "Wanting the right thing" (This includes figuring out what the right thing is) and "Being able to articulate your wish clearly" (This includes clarifying your thoughts).
Aware probably doesn’t cut it. “Aware and compassionate enough to _try_ not to abuse others for your own benefit” is probably a more complete and explicit statement of wokeness (along with all of that which was stated earlier).

Unfortunately I see “woke” as a brand the right uses to disparage compassion, tolerance and intellectualism.

Whether someone's concerns are legitimate is in the eye of the beholder, but actions can be directly observed. Unilateral violent invasion must not become a legitimate tactic again. It was the norm for centuries, and excluding it resulted in the fastest rise in global living standards in history--including in the U.S. and Russia.
The future of NATO is secure. It just won't include the US. Whether that exclusion is done implicitly or explicitly remains to be seen. The US has put itself in the position where it has no allies and no peaceful trading partners. That's not going to work out well for them, regardless of how much military might they believe they have.

Seems to me that the country Trump is pushing into geopolitical irrelevance is the United States of America. Thanks to him, we're making enemies of friends and allies, throwing away our influence on the world, throwing away any claim we had to being a model, and turning in on ourselves.

>If instead we voted with permutations of {+1, +0.5, -0.5} assigned to a single combination of up to 3 candidates without duplication of score or candidate, we would be voting for the outcome of the decision matrix and avoiding the tragedy of the commons.

And if there were pies in the sky, nobody would go hungry.

Sorry, but you have to work with the system you have, not the system you want.

If more people showed up to vote, Republicans would have no power.

The only good path forward is to elect Democrats and then push them further left. Anything else is fantasy.

You first, Sergei!
Why did they try to invade Kyiv exactly? To take it?

> You don't really think that giving up the territory Russia has taken already is going to stop Russia from advancing further?

I honestly do not know. If they do, then it requires military intervention.
Just because the US changing its mind about Russia changes NATO's dynamic as a whole does not mean that the Baltic states are immediately in danger. Poland and Finland are both nearby NATO countries that have experienced Russia's thumb directly with their own military industrial base or are developing one that would absolutely step in if need be.

Reminder that Finland is really close to St. Petersburg, the 2nd largest city in Russia with some pretty big cultural and military importance. Putin's done some fantastically stupid stuff in regard to the 2022 Ukraine war, namely resuming it, but he's probably not that dumb.
The minerals deal made no sense.

1. If you wanted minerals because of strategic concerns, you would not source them from a State which has been invaded by Russia. This is not a stable, reliable source.

2. The deal we saw details for was a jointly controlled fund for investment, where 50% of profit of State owned mining and related infrastructure would be deposited. There's no mention there of mineral supply to the US.

I did not understand it, and I still see no sense in it.

What was actually going on?

We saw Donald try to bounce Z into signing : "you have one hour to sign this".

That obviously shattered any trust that might have been there.

I don't think we ever saw the text of that first deal.

Then the second deal was just this jointly controlled investment fund, which looked like a face-saver.

In any event, USA is now out of the game.

A coup is in the process of occurring, and once the judges and courts are subverted, will be complete.

All this with the deal and D and Z is basically water under the bridge; EU has to stand on its own two feet now, and that's the situation here and now, however we got here.
Pacifism is good insofar as one should avoid starting wars. What you are arguing for is prostration, reflexive submission to any non-pacifist actor. All your posts in this thread are bemoaning the horrors of war and comparing it to a meatgrinder, but all saying that the solution is for Ukraine to capitulate. What consequences should befall Russia?
They gained it back by basically giving Teams away for free and getting companies to say "we're already paying for this bundle, so let's stop paying for Zoom/Slack." They still missed out on billions which they'll try to claim back over years of slow price raises (until the competition lowers prices and/or becomes more competitive).
Neitber of those are even remotly a majority of the US.

The EC monitors were first. UNPROFOR was there for Croatia initially. The Lisbon agreement in Bosnia in 1992 was supposed to have things like European judges on the constitutional court, which is something that people forget when they complain about Dayton. The national militaries famously had partiality to different sides of the conflict - French and Dutch vs Swedish and British.
Do you mean the typical scrolling-isn't-consistent stuff, or how the pictures and the text don't stay within the same column-boundaries?
They definitely shouldn't be after this. This is the waking point, I've read article today that we could ramp up some serious defense within 5 years on old continent, skillset and money are there. This would massively boost parts of our economies, just like US did in WWII. Use russian assets, use green deal money that is beyond useless effort at this point and most costs are covered.

At the end this may be good for us, since Germany's stance has been pretty much retarded re defense to keep things polite. 4 superpowers instead of 3, albeit maybe Hungary and Slovakia should be kicked out to not sabotage it from within.

It seems an era is ending. Just like it did with 9/11, even outside US. All due to one orange man being voted by >50% americans to do exactly this. Why I don't get and probably never will but he is a symptom of current times IMHO, not a cause.

Thank you for ending with a further reading suggestion as a useful complement to your personal experience and research. Your write up is a strong positive in continuing toward advancing education, open mindedness, and patience with a delicate subject.

Take the chance to freshen up on eastern European history and the absolute dark footprint that russia has cast on it during the centuries. There is a reason why eastern europeans would rather die than be under russian occupation.
It's not just about borders, it's about oppression, torture, destruction, and then borders again in a few years. To STILL not see what the russian world is about is truly an exercise in idiocy. Sorry, I had to answer a genuine question with a genuine statement
No, it's still a fallacy.

Sure, taking a step back and examining the evidence is always a good idea, but the evidence is pretty damn clear here.

> This conflict is much more analogous to WW1 instead of WW2.

Only tactically. Both WW2 and this war were initiated by a single aggressor starting multiple wars in a row. WW1 by contrast had lots of countries equally itching for a fight, even countries that had nothing to do with the initial trigger. And assassination in Sarajevo should not logically lead to endless trench warfare in Flanders. But in Russia's invasion, everybody else is really careful to keep the fighting contained to just Ukraine.
Those three words are correct, in a "stopped clock is right twice a day, obvious and trite" kind of way. The details of what he MEANS is not even that, it's the usual political victimhood.

Schwitzgebel‘s isn’t assuming any property of consciousness is transitive.

Rather what he is saying is this: given many candidate substrate-independent materialist definitions of consciousness, if the property is true of individual humans and animals, it will true of their social collectivities. But, he says “many”, not “all”-he’s not claiming you can’t define properties of consciousness for which that is false, he’s simply putting the onus on the proponents of the “materialism can explain consciousness” project of explaining in detail how, and justifying such a definition.

Furthermore, he’s not claiming that properties of consciousness are transitive from individual organisms to any arbitrary grouping of them. Rather, he’s pointing to social collectivities such as countries or governments as being so coordinated they sometimes act like they have will of their own emerging from the coordinated wills of their individual members. This isn’t true of arbitrarily defined wholes of which those individuals are part, e.g. the set of all humans (anywhere on earth) whose first name starts with the letter A. You are interpreting his point in terms of part-to-whole transitivity in general, but that’s not the case-the emergent properties of social groups are far more complex than simple part-to-whole transitivity. And it is those emergent properties he points to as evidence they may have a consciousness distinct from those of their individual members
And purpose would that serve Trump? Make Europe weaker... for what? To build a casino in Paris?
I think if it like a snow globe, occasionally the snow falls into patterns you don't like, there is an abundant body of science that covers principles of physics that dictate how the snow moves. You might be able to come up with some broad patterns that show what lead to outcomes that you don't want.

Nevertheless the best option for fixing the undesirable pattern of snow is to give the globe a quick shake. Solutions do not necessarily require a complete understanding of the problem, or even directly target the problem.

Now if you only wanted to move a few problematic flakes without shifting any others, that's a different, much harder problem.
Problem is the funding never gets passed on as a savings to the American consumer who needs the treatment.
This is what's know as "ass-covering."
Yes, plus Ukraine learnt a lesson when the GOP stalled aid and they ran low on supplies, so they have stockpiled and domestic production has increased. It's a war of attrition and so both sides are hoping to keep going until the other collapses. The US withdrawing support is a victory for Russian, but it won't end the war. What happens with sanctions might, but also without the US telling them what to do the gloves will be off Ukraine.

So much for stopping the war in 24hrs. Trump's plans were never going to work there, and both Russian and Ukraine were going to try and make it look like the failure was not their fault - guess Russian won that particular battle, maybe it was never even a contest.

>China is not the threat to Europe that Russia is. A wedge between China and Russia would weaken Russia and help the EU

It gets interesting when you realize that Russia is also a rival to China in Northeast Asia. A balkanized Russia, like the one the EU could have manifested had it took Russia warnings seriously and brought about decisive action after troops were invading Crimea. But no they lived in their "End of History" fantasy and that virtuous liberties will magically be spread if we just trade goods and ideas between spheres of influence.

Of course this reality will be bad for our allies in Asia (ie. Japan, SK, Taiwan). But maybe this time it'll wake up some in America from becoming isolationist again.
It's wild how disconnected from reality he is. The fastest ways I've seen coworkers demoralized has been:

1) Managers who regularly insist their way is the only correct way

2) Low compensation/raises/bonuses

3) On-call combined with not addressing the problems causing middle of the night issues

4) A deluge of statements from upper management that make everyone else in the room roll their eyes into the back of their head
Most western countries are indebted way above the normal limit. I'm only a newb, but afaik, the global monetary system was wired this way. And US was said, being the currency reserve of the world, to have no problem with large debt. In reality, what I heard is that US inflation gets passed onto the world through dollar dominance. (not an unusual move for Trump to invert the logic to gain political point painting himself as the savior).

You never considered it was just a story to justify shaking "allies" ? I don't know what the truth is, but it smells like it.

And so far there's no announcement about investing in education or health, it seems quite the opposite, isn't it ?

I sincerely don't understand how there can be any trust invested in Trump and his speeches. So far all he's done is creating meme coins and reviving the ruble.

thanks for your answer nonetheless
