Like 8 years ago I encountered this package, I recall reading that it was designed by someone who programmed components for the Space Shuttles.

I was very impressed.

Mistral doesn't have caching on batches. For me that meant they are 10x more expensive than Google.

I think its dumb.

Their support is hidden away in a chat bubble at the bottom. But they do respond promptly.

Its decent, but after switching to Google i wouldn't go back

A legal professional can be personally liable for not finding the most recent case-law.

The knowledge cut off gap means the models sometimes don't know about the most recent case-law, in a given situation.

I've seent his happen multiple times now. Accountants and legal professionals advising clients based on outdated information assembled through chat-gtp, claude and copilot.

Professionals drafting letters and missing recent case-law which handles their exact case. It's unreliable.So it can save you some work; but it can't save you all of the work. And in some cases its mistakes really force you to redo all the work, and more, to be thorough and have confidence in the result.

Its frankly shocking just how many people here aren't Christian (or don't understand love thy neighbor) and are on the evil spectrum of DnD, and bragging about it.

In before the dinosaurs arrive to complain about the challenges of moving to IPv6 and why NAT and IPv4 are better. ;)

The post now says they changed it due to feedback from Hacker news. All good.

The bottom part of the article mentions they use .backup - did they add that later or did you miss it?

The difference is you have to sue for e.g. negligence if a term is reasonable but not implied in the contract.

In civil law you can sue with an action under contract enforcement, which carries a lighter burden of proof

In most European countries, UK excluded, the law of contracts doesn't work this way.

Reasonableness and good faith are implied in contracts. If a clause kills the essence of a contract maliciously, the court will not enforce it.

Good idea, Netherlands should follow suit.

The fed is being dismantled in front of our eyes.

Militia's shoot US citizens for documenting their illegal behavior.

Insane

I think this nuance is one of the 1000 pieces that you could say are nuances if you look at them individually.

But, integrally the whole package is just wishful thinking.

I mean, maybe it was elastic for imports from Heard and McDonald Islands. Penguins don't care about margins after all.

And with a few years of 10% inflation on the value of money etc... that 600 at x=30 was a bad deal

Put French nukes in Greenland and the issue becomes moot.

You were there? No? You watched the taped proceedings then?

I don't think you appreciate the way justice becomes irrelevant in fascist and tyrannical countries.

The 'show' of fair justice, dispensed with care and deliberation, is something you seem to take for granted.

In most countries you get put up against a wall, and shot, for saying the wrong things about the right people.

I find your argument uniquely cowardly: Power without justice is a recipe for tyranny. And the position that tyranny should be the norm is something an evil or cowardly person espouses.

Yes, there is plenty of atrocity. Pretending the allied behavior is as atrocious as Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, or Hitler, is pretentious relativism.

That's a straw man; There are many cultures that have a strong emphasis on honor/shame mechanics, which in turn drive suicides in those cultures. And which match cultural expectations in a grim kind of way.

The fact that people want to change their culture is possibly an early indication of a shift, which could take decades or centuries to actually occur. And such a cultural shift can also lose momentum and be still-born.

---

I find counting suicides innovative. But if you do it in a global context without looking at the cultures as confounding factor: It's wrong.

There are many other confounding factors, such as a forgiving national (personal) bankruptcy regime. The USA has a pretty forgiving regime compared to other countries. But that doesn't mean you can say it correlates with how happy people are. Because - like suicides - the number of people that go bankrupt might not significantly correlate to the average happiness rate. Because a (small) minority of people go bankrupt / commit suicide.

It's in fact perfectly reasonable and possible to suppose that a country with higher average suicides and harsher penalties for bankruptcy still ends up higher on the happiness index. Because perhaps health and social-contact / family factors impact the rating more, on average.

Suicides are hugely affected by cultural norms. In certain Asian cultures this has quite the history, so this can't be a correct assumption.

A monopoly is measured in a given market by marketshare.

Ofcourse the existence of 10 alternatives is meaningless if they count for 0.01% of given market section. Lol

Personally my approach has been to start with big-ints and add a GUID code field if it becomes necessary. And then provide imports where you can match objects based on their code, if you ever need to import/export between tenants, with complex object relationships.

But that also adds complexity.
