The economic situation is so complicated there that you probably need to sit through a 60 minute documentary to get an answer to this question, or really understand much about their crisis at all.

It’s very difficult to say whether or not the cure is worse then the disease; they were fucked to start, and the austerity measures weren’t the origin of the unemployment and poverty, but they did exacerbate them. But, they also lower the inflation rate, which itself was the largest cause of hardship, especially poverty.

Is the increase in suffering due to austerity worth the decrease in suffering due to cooling inflation? That’s the real question but I’m not sure anyone knows objectively, yet.

Anecdotally, as someone who spends 3-4 months a year in Buenos Aires: things seem to be getting worse; but they’ve been worsening for a decade, and the rate at which they are getting worse seems to be decreasing. So I guess a sort of Pyrrhic victory…?

Not arguing with you, but I think Gaza is even worse.

What’s happening in Ukraine is terrible - but it’s a war between two countries, that each have an army.

What’s happening in Gaza is something else. It’s a country sending an army on a civilian population. Palestine has no army to defend itself.

And if, for the sake of argument, you accept Israel’s claim that it owns the Palestinian Territories, then it means Israel is turning its army against its own land and its own citizens.

Given the corresponding elections it would be helpful if publications would state “Georgia, USA” or “Country or Georgia”, or something. “Georgia (Atlanta)” vs “Georgia (Tbilisi)”. Something to that effect.

To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow.

Seems a bit suspect.

Gravity is tired of humans saying it causes things to fall down.

More than that, they supposedly punish multiple generations of the family in labor camps. You can Google something like North Korea 3 generations to see the details.

Okay, but I mean, 60 million versus 30 thousand. The former is effectively “infinite”, I mean how many hours would it take you to walk that far?

That’s a really interesting point. Neat!

That’s better than I was thinking. But still, nothing beats “infinite”.

Did they ever fix the game having a maximum map size of like 10.000 by 10.000? That limitation always seemed to put it at a disadvantage compared to Minecraft, for larger communities

176 countries? wtf, why?

Good news though. Israel can avoid a war if it wants. All it has to do is stop waging its current war.

Mozart actually was Austrian :-), this joke is usually told with Beethoven, who was born German but spent most of his life in Vienna.

Surprising, however they announced existing owners can upgrade for $10, so perhaps the move is to raise the price for new buyers to make it equivalent to buying the full price remaster, while making it cheap to existing owners.

That was quite a trip. What a strange guy.

Yup. Piracy is bad so make sure to avoid that. Specifically, do not search for “Yuzu 1734” and combine it with “Firmware 18.1” and “Prod keys 18.1”, because if you did that you would be all set to pirate switch games. So to repeat, definitely don’t search for these things. Now you know what to avoid.

Nothing coherent, I’m sure.

They probably aren’t literally Hitler. But there is a lot of damage and awful shit they can do in between reasonable and Hitler. And they are much further towards the latter than anyone should be comfortable with.

This kind of seems like a non-article to me. LLMs are trained on the corpus of written text that exists out in the world, which are overwhelmingly standard English. American dialects effectively only exist while spoken, be it a regional or city dialect, the black or chicano dialect, etc. So how would LLMs learn them? Seems like not a bias by AI models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.

European here. That’s true that he could travel (by land) within Schengen, however the EUROPOL database would flag him at border crossings, so he can’t realistically depart Europe. Big area to hide in but then again I’m not sure how realistic that is these days, I mean how long can you go without running a bank card or using a mobile phone?
