    Yes of course someone pays for it, in this case your deductions as you say. But I think there is a fundemental difference to employers paying for health insurance in that it doesn'…

    If they had said only governemnt and a few other approved institutions can use it then yes that could work. But they didn't say that. They said "only US citizens". Once something i…

    If a model is really capable of that type of stuff (creating biological weapons etc) the problem isn't solved by export controls - I'm sure there are plenty of home grown US terror…

    There's no effective way of enforcing export controls on local software like PGP etc. Whatever they say someone will leak it. It is possible to shutdown access to hosted services, …

    There are large (x2, x3) price rises for US based servers but the German / Sweedish ones show much more reasonable increases ~30%

    Interesting that those supporting the motion claimed it was because there was no space left for new arrivals and that it put too much pressure on infrastructure like trains and yet…

    >I mean, if we want to not talk about economics that’s fine, but can the AI actually do junior work at the same price? Even if we assume it can then not hiring Juniors still doesn'…

    It's actually worse than that. It's not just financial depreciation or that the existing hardware becomes obsolete due to being less powerful than new hardware but also that hardwa…

    Seems to be a thing in the US to need specialised software, an accountant or AI to file taxes. In most of Europe individuals at least don't need any of that. I'm in France and it's…

    actually the physical lifetime (not financial depreciation) for AI data center GPUs is even lower (3 to 4 years)

    Political structures exist to influence the world around them. A thousand or even a few hundred years ago most people travelled very little and often were born, lived and died in t…

    There are a lot of upsides to being in the EU. It's so much easier to move aroud, both for short term travel and longer term too. The common currency (at least in most countries) r…

    Would you let one or two cities have veto power over the policy of an entire country? If not then what's the difference here? If yes do you think that would work? Of course the imp…

    Depends a lot on the context and type of software. For server side software where there is a sysadmin in charge of keeping it running I generally agree. But for end user software (…

    I disagree. Sure corporations have to respect the LAW in their juradiction, even if said law is unpopular or unethical. But they don't have to, and shouldn't where ethics and human…

    "stolen" should not be used in conjunction with IP, "infringed" if you like. To steal is to deny the original owner access to their property. That is true for physical objects, if …

    I think it's difficult to say without knowing how the system is deployed and administered. "If a SMTP mailer trying to send email to somewhere logs 'cannot contact port 25 on ', th…

    It's more the US that has corrupt politicians and myopic policies. Trump changes his mind every few days He takes bribes from the Swiss. The sooner the EU rids itself of the US the…

    The way I remember it is: INIT_LIST_HEAD is of form VERB_NOUN so is called from within a function to programatically initialise the list. LIST_HEAD_INIT is NOUN_VERB and is used wi…
