While the far right in France has been gaining traction with full throttle populism on fertile grounds, I wouldn't overestimate their chances to make it to the presidency and discount the fierce opposition that will be expressed the day people cast their vote.

It is still a weak (but loud) political movement which lacks backbone and network.

Anthropic was founded by the guy who didn’t want to distribute GPT-2, claiming it was too dangerous to be released. The gatekeeper using the alarmist trick is at it again.

With sandboxes you give your agent just what it needs and nothing more, not the whole suite of secrets living in your environment that could be exfiltrated

Every time I'm reading about the technical challenges of these kind of projects, it reminds me how amazing our brains are, doing what they do with only about 30W

Gambling is quite regulated in France, it’s not new.

Unrestricted invasion of privacy and considering it completely normal is just a libertarian fantasy

Give it a couple years before Valve starts sponsoring someone to reverse-engineer it

It's probably a matter of liquidity, storing it where it can be exchanged when needed. Transport is quite expensive

Could you suggest good resources about LLM serving? Blogs, articles...

When you work on proprietary code with a lot of trade secrets contained in it, on a codebase that did cost millions of dollars of man-hours to build and that holds the company's IP, you tend to be very careful where you're sending that to.

Arthritis. Causes heaps of pain and reduced mobility which brings a whole lot of other medical complications. Hips replacement are super common past a certain age.

Have you heard of the European Union?

Putin did precisely this in the 90s to justify the second war in Chechnya so it became basically textbook

Intermarché owns a massive fleet of fishing boats. That could explain this.

Meanwhile in Australia…

Europe is playing catch with a 200b investment

The point was never to turn it into a profitable venture, but to acquire a widely adopted and established communication channel, turn it into an echo chamber and make it run with the least cost possible. It became what was expected of it.

Serial ports on tv are usually for screen control, as in turn on/off, change input, set volume... Like what you can do with the OSD and the remote

It could also be hordes of legacy win7 systems that are getting upgraded to win10 for insurance reasons

If the symptoms go away with benzos, it seems that the source of your tinnitus is some form of generalised anxiety syndrome, with all the niceties that come with it: tension headaches, teeth clenching, TMJ disorder... The burnout stresses were eased thanks to the pills, but once withdrawn came back probably harder which could have then triggered your tinnitus.

This is why benzos should never be prescribed without any other therapeutic approach alongside. They just hide the pain under the carpet for a while only to see it come back worse after and the root cause needs to be addressed with other means in the meantime.

Good luck with the road back to balance. There's no secret remedy and it's probably best to take a holistic approach for it and work on your well being from multiple fronts.

They're behind the Windows 10 desktop wallpaper we all know as well

Your position is extreme. And by definition one of a minority. If you've got the feeling it's growing, it's called radicalisation, which is a concern for the fate of societies since it's defeating all the efforts that have been made for getting out of some dark ages of the past.

It triggered a lot of reactions from other HNers since such a world view is denying the basic freedoms to express of the opposite gender, and even the freedom to exist.

You seem to have an education, use it to widen your perspective of the world.

> regardless of which country you live in.

I usually don't go into these kind on discussions, especially on HN, but allow me to mention that in many countries, nobody would think much of such splash screen even at work. And that doesn't mean in any way that the person in question is creepy or that anyone else around would think so for a minute. If this artwork would trigger a reaction, this wouldn't go further than "hey, nice drawing" without any afterthoughts.

Seeing this picture as suggestive is immensely conditioned by the personal and cultural background of the beholder and his community. These norms aren't universal.

-Hi Adobe, I'd like to cancel my Creative Cloud subscription

-Ohhh we're sorry to see you leave. Would you like three extra months for free so that we can maybe change your mind?

-Okay, sure

-three months later: Hi Adobe, I'd like to cancel my Creative Cloud subscription

-Dear valued customer. If you want to cancel your subscription, please pay for 9 months of service since the offer you accepted three months ago signed you up for another full year.

Go to hell, Adobe.

It could just be Coinbase moving stuff to cold storage

In defense of the people trying to abuse the noob boost on Hinge, gotta say that Hinge themselves make the contrast extremely stark once it expires.

Upon signing up, it was showing me mostly profiles I might be interested in opening conversations with. After a week or so, it started presenting exclusively profiles with the lowest "attractiveness" score you can imagine, or whatever they're calling it on their back end. A collection or morbidly obese people with absolutely no thought given on how they present themselves to the world.

I then deleted my account and went back out of curiosity a few months later, only to see exactly the same scenario. Same phone, same number, same pictures on my profile: I probably evaded the perceptual hashes thanks to the fact I came back long enough after the first deletion and was granted a new week of normalcy.

Bumble specifies when you delete your account that it "might" affect your experience if you do this and sign up again. At least they're a bit honest about it.

No matter what, there's a lot going on behind the curtain. People are grouped into cohorts. I've experimented with friends of the opposite gender and we were wondering why we'd never bumped into each other. No matter how narrowed down our filtering was, our profiles would never be shown to each other.

And a funny anecdote: a few months ago, Instagram started pitching ads about very high end, luxury items, probably thinking I had hit a jackpot or something. Simultaneously, I was thrown into a new cohort on dating apps. As if I was now eligible to a whole new level on the social ladder.

Probably not the sole reason but a contributing factor. Humiliation -> suffering in populations -> nationalism -> war. All being natural consequences

This kind of reasoning is why war never ends

That was during the cold war 40 years ago and the US couldn't have said otherwise at this time given how entrenched and polarised the conflict was.

The EU has been built on the concept of collaboration. It's not for no reason that Macron called a couple weeks ago for being careful not humiliating the Russian civilisation (with of course sanctions being necessary), to fend off the risk of seeing the same thing repeating itself in a few generations. History demonstrated that many times.

It's something we learn very early in the philosophy of science, is that our vision of the world will always be inherently limited by the capabilities of our perception and the way we process it
