> And you don't see the problem with allowing processes like this
Oh, I 100% see the problem with it. I think pushing draconian laws, that have already been defeated, in secret backroom deals is dodgy as.
I think you have some very valid points.
I think the centre and left just see opportunities to act without compromise, never considering that it will piss of their electorates. The electorate will reply by voting just to piss off the politicians regardless of the consequences. Just like with Brexit.
That still doesn't mean that the EU is currently worse than actual dictatorships.
> Now go enlighten us on how the EU is super democratic and way better than the worst dictatorship that ever existed, so we may be happy we are not the worst.
Well they're not rounding people because of their religion or sexuality and putting them in "retraining" camps yet. Or using "criminals" as enforced organ donors. I suppose there's that.
The EU is being a bit short-sighted and shit with regard to Chat Control but let's not loose perspective here.
I think an LLM would give a "conversational" experience to search.
That's handy for situations where you might not really understand what you need to search for. Any search system that can ask you clarifying questions is going to be a big improvement.
Or where you need to combine several steps together but you don't yet know what those steps are.
There's probably other technologies that could do that, requiring lower resources but they'll come with different trade-offs around configuration.
Just having a Raspberry PI, a offline copy wikipedia and a RAG enabled small LLM would be quite useful or at least entertaining if you have to go off grid.
No one throws Duracell during riots for a reason. Where as a small bottle, half filled with petrol, and a lit rag makes a pretty good anti-tank weapon.
A car with a tank full of gas is basically a big bomb.
Something important to remember if you come across it, never pick it up with a bare hand because it can be razor sharp and never wear gloves when using a machine tool like a lathe unless you want to loose a hand... or worse.
When I was at uni in the 90s I remember hearing one of our lecturers tell stories about visitors to British Aerospace being caught wearing shoes with sticky soles to try and capture small amounts of swarf for industrial espionage.
Well according to the abstract it related to gut health affects of the coffee not the caffeine itself.
> "Our findings reveal the microbiome and neurological responses to coffee, as well as their potential long-term benefits for a healthier microbiome. Coffee may modify what microbes do collectively, and what metabolites they use. As the public continues to think about dietary changes for the right digestive balance, coffee has the potential to also be harnessed as a further intervention as part of a healthy balanced diet."
That would explain why it works for decaf too. i.e. it's healthy gut, healthy mind.
He was lucky he was hit by a car.
A slab fronted SUV or pickup would have dragged him underneath and so it goes.
