Nej och minor är bedrövliga. Men det är värt att notera att Ukraina har valt att minera ukrainsk mark. Som jag förstår det gjorde de det för att alternativet för dem var att förlora en massa soldater. Ingen vill ha minor. Skälet till att de används är att alternativen också suger.

Ja, det borde Ukraina ha gjort så hade det inte tagit flera hundra år att bli av med minorna som de la ut.

Ja, det var ju därför vi hoppades på Ottawa konventionen. Det är tråkigt att Ryssland aldrig valde att följa den. När det nu är så får man bestämma hur viktigt man tycker det är att alla minor på vår mark är utländska.

Problemet är väl att det inte är säkert att Ryssland kommer att följa svenska regler i händelse av krig.

Isn't the incoherent response to be expected if it is indeed a bunch of people that independently come to the conclusion that AI sucks for their own independent reasons? If Soros had coordinated it I'm sure the story would have been neater.

This kind of polling numbers in a first past the post system is crazy. It will be interesting to see the next Parliament.

To Trump, the US or to Iranians?

Just a regular reminder that there is absolutely no scientific evidence that caffeine (in moderation) is in any way problematic. Caffeine is this thing that you think should be bad for you but it's just not. Most studies suggest it has meaningful benefits. See reply for a recent example.

De kanske bara hoppas på ett euro-ras.

Thank you! We knew we ourselves thought the game was fun but it's been really amazing seeing so many people agree.

Buy my game! ARC Raiders is beautiful and super stressful. It's a multiplayer game though so not as much story as in HZD or RDR. But we do have the best reinforcement learning driven robots in gaming right now.

Euro area GDP plot. It goes up rapidly.

Also check out Paper Skygest. It is a feed that shows skeets from people that you follow that mention papers. It's really nice.

After a previous term and a coup attempt they reelected him and gave him both houses of Congress. I think it's fair to put the blame on the US. If the Americans change their mind on what policies they want they can have their representatives impeach him.

If you enjoy Paper Skygest, you might enjoy our new academic preprint describing it and our vision!

Man, everything they do is so good. Really impressive.

Yes. But on the other hand America has placed 100,000 potential POWs in Europe as hostages. If Trump takes Greenland and Germany joins Denmark quickly there are other ways to apply pressure than sending F35s across the Atlantic.

Or it would last for years and be horrible. You sound just like people did before Russia invaded Ukraine and the three day special operation has gone on for years now. The EU is massive and has nukes and huge manufacturing capacity and I doubt the US military would be enthusiastic in the fight.

The paper skygest feed is amazing for finding things to read. bsky.app/profile/pape...

Where is the repo? Is it possible to take a look?

Small nitpick - Zeekr is part of Geely so I don't think it should be listed separately.

Yes, I feel like I see fate fewer hate storms these days than I used to. It's good, AI is both amazing and awful and we need to figure out how to use it for good.

Finally someone calling it 0th instead of 28th. It's a much better name and the 28 name has been annoying me since I heard it first. It doesn't scale as we say in tech.

Shamelessly stolen from the other website, because of course that specific part of the crisis would have been averted if Europeans were involved 🤣🤣🤣

This is the only thing that makes sense.

And how dependable a negotiating partner the UK is seen to be, with Farage pulling high.

Apart from everything else, invading a country for oil in 2026 is somewhat like doing so for horses in 1931.
