Similar is scope, but a lot more voluntary though

Great step in the right direction I think, but I hope people won’t be fooled thinking this is a step from zero autonomy to full autonomy:

The Paris-based company revealed Mistral Compute, a comprehensive AI infrastructure platform built in partnership with Nvidia, …

[…]

Mistral’s dual announcement of infrastructure and model capabilities signals the company’s ambition to become a comprehensive AI platform rather than just another model provider. With backing from Microsoft and other investors, the company has raised over $1 billion and continues to seek additional funding to support its expanded scope.

Maybe next time read the article instead of just looking at a image.

Police are investigating the damaging of property in Ballymena as racially-motivated hate crimes.

He might not be dumb, but he has been badly informed before. We can’t know what he thinks is true and what he thinks is not. But i agree it would be a dumb move if he went on waging war somewhere else too.

We also shouldn’t forget Russian command will be willing to do things Nato won’t, like bombing civilians or forcing people to join the army. They might for example threaten to execute a pow or retaliate by using chemical weapons. If two parties are not fighting by the same rules, it won’t be all about who has the biggest military power. I think you’re right on their losses not being sustainable, although I think they’ll be more likely to choose more desperate measures than they’d consider retreating.

You don’t need 100% of the population, just the people in power to make a decision and some people enforcing that. Even if 75% of Germans wouldn’t want to fight, you just need the one in charge to give orders to the next in line and it will travel all the way down the chain of command. No way there will be mass desertion because Russia attacked Nato somewhere.

2024 was a very different time it seems

I realised I had a lot of the recommended stuff laying around already, except for bottled water. I usually only drink tap water, but I feel a lot more prepared now I got some.

Convincing marketing/lobbying maybe

Luckily the writer of the article understands that there is more to it than attracting ‘the best’ workers:

This week alone, US companies have taken over two UK tech businesses, and Mr Kassai doesn’t seem surprised.

“Shareholders, investors, board members are going to find the highest bidder and the US tends to pay more,” he said.

“There’s four times as much capital invested into startup companies than there is in the whole of Europe, so naturally when it comes through a sale, the US is often able to pay a higher price.”

A lot of advertising is annoying and misleading, even good advertising can lead to people buying stuff they don’t need. I am definitely not pro-advertising but it does serve more than monopolistic capitalism, especially on a more local level.

I 100% agree and totally get why I am being downvoted, but just disabling advertising or banning tracking cookies are not a magic fix to save the internet from the perspective of the companies that now show these ads. But I am definitely I favour of changes, the enshittication went way to far already. But there is more than big social media platforms is what I mean to say.

I’m not a fan of being tracked so don’t get me wrong, but without the money earned with advertising the Internet will look very different and not only in a good way.

Maybe with an all-star cast lol jk

First and last paragraph:

ROME — An Italian referendum on granting faster citizenship to certain immigrants and seeking to strengthen labor rights failed because of low turnout, after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and leading right-wing political parties urged Italians to boycott the democratic process.

Between 1974 and 1995, eight of nine referendums reached the quorum for voter participation. But since then, according to the Italian newspaper Il Post, only four of 34 referendums have had enough voters to be valid.

You can only legally take someone into custody if you have jurisdiction there. You could argue whether they do or do not have jurisdiction in the waters that Palastine claims but they were not even there, they were in international waters. That is kidnapping.

Certainly must be something wrong with you, since nowhere on this thread is there anyone supporting Hamas??

Hinckley isn’t even mentioned in the article, the major plant they refer to is Sizewell B.

No new nuclear plant has been opened in the U.K. since Sizewell B in 1995.

I am especially glad Greta threw her ‘weight’ behind it because without the media attention it got them proving a point probably wouldn’t have had a meaningful effect. Might still not, but we’ll see.

I bet Oleksander is willing to let some babysitters come over too, if that would convince Trump to come
