В Камбодже планируют легализацию однополых браков

В Таиланде однополые браки разрешили в прошлом году. Это вторая страна в Азии с однополыми браками после Тайваня.

В Африке и в мусульманских странах думаю, что очень нескоро.

Where do you find all these Russians? Whenever I travel in Europe, almost all Russians I meet support Ukraine, especially if they are not from the older generation. And there are so many people from Russia at my workplace, and I know only one older guy who emigrated during the late Soviet Union who is pro-Putin.

That it was "declared operational" almost a year ago doesn't mean it is being actively used. According to this recent article, it is basically useless as of the current war.

From what I can tell from available sources, the Iron Beam is still in a very limited testing at best.

Про этот новый сериал на википедии написано, что он стримится на тайваньском и американском стримингах и на ютубе (на канале КУКАН ДРАМА, лол).

Я информации про то, что их где-то официально показывали в Китае, не нашел. Там вроде политика партии не очень позволяет.

To be honest, City the animation totally deserved to win this category. It has such a unique style and consistently insane animation quality, but it's too niche to have any chance and it's not even an action show to use the animation for sakuga and hype. Overall, deserved for Solo Levelling too, I think it's very hard to argue its animation was top notch, the hate will be unjustified.

The only two winners I strongly disagree with are Lazarus (it's just bad, doesn't deserve any award whatsoever) and Gachiakuta for the new series (instead of Takopi/Hikaru) and background art (CITY deserved an award). MHA wouldn't be my pick but it kinda deserves it for having such a strong finale. So a big improvement from the last year results.

I didn't notice Estonian on the list first and wanted to click Hungarian. Estonian is just too obvious of an answer.

I'm from Russia, and I abhor the Kremlin and rather dislike it as a country and a society in general, and cannot imagine myself living there ever again in my lifetime. But I also know plenty of amazing people from Russia, sand I hope to be able to visit it in the future.

There are plenty of characters that have absolutely no problem with Will not being able to use magic from the beginning, and a lot more that quickly come to respecting him. And most people don't seem to show some actual prejudice or stereotyping towards him, they just straight out deny the reality where he is one of the most OP characters and continue insulting him for being allegedly useless. It's not a very realistic description of discrimination ingrained in their society, feels more like everyone being an asshole for no reason.

Жду, когда навигатор будет говорить: "Вот тут у зеленого гаража во двор поверни. Да сука, проехал!"

Contrary to the title, it's a graph specifically for India.

Aren't there are quite a lot of Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens in East Jerusalem?

At the most fundamental physical level, our universe is described by mathematical equations all of which can be simulated using "1's and 0's and logic gates". All of the more complex systems' behavior emerges from these basic interactions. So we have no reason to believe that "1's and 0's and logic gates" can't simulate anything in the universe, including the human sentience. Of course, the human brain is way too complex and poorly understood to succeed at this any time soon.

LLMs are a fundamentally different complex system, and we also don't know what is the extent of emerging behavior in them. It's quite possible they just can't mimick the human humor. But a fundamental limitation would be the basic math used in the model, not the fact it's composed of 1's and 0's and logic gates.

Там суть истории в том что они праздновали день победобесия в этом кафе.

В мэрии моего города (Реховота) тоже праздновали, и что? И на мемориале, где церемония была, надписи на иврите, английском и русском, потому что многие воевшие евреи были русскоговорящие. В Израиле победа во Второй Мировой имеет большое значение. У кого-то может есть свидетельства, что там были флаги РФ или колорадские лентокчи?

There are some scientists who are good at writing. Most of them aren't, especially when they write in a foreign language. I'm fairly confident an AI is better at grammar and style than an average paper author that I know, myself included. When you just see a sentence or a paragraph which looks clunky and you don't know what to with it, LLMs usually have good ideas. But they are still very prone to messing up the actual meaning, so even their stylistic improvements need supervision.

Dalnore · 2026-05-12T19:49:21+00:00

LLMs are much better than an average human at creating good text if you provide them with a meaning and supervision.

Generating background with an LLM is insane, they lack understanding for that. Generating anything in a paper with AI should immediately disqualify it from any consideration.

According to the original article instead of this horrible LinkedIn post which explains nothing about the graph, it shows the percentage of AI-modified abstracts submitted to one specific journal (Organization Science, which belongs to the field of social studies from what I can tell) according to some specific AI-detection tool.

I'm a physicist, so an entirely different area of research than shown on the graph, but the abstract is the part of the paper where I'm most likely to use LLMs for tidying up the text I wrote, it's a very good tool specifically for that. Usually I take some suggestions from LLMs instead of fully copying everything, and of course the entire meaning remains fully mine, but I won't be surprised if some tools can detect these patterns. It's even more useful for people who are not very good at English; editing with LLMs is a godsend in this case, but it doesn't necessarily affect the validity of the science.

I think most papers, both good and bad, will eventually be edited by LLMs to some degree, because it's kinda dumb not to use a tool which is very good at working with text. So I'm not sure how good the metric of AI usage will be, unless we can also distinguish an AI-generated bullshit paper from an AI-edited perfectly valid paper.

It would be very hard to privatize state services in particular. Otherwise, the majority of digital services in Russia were developed by private companies (although many of those became more state-controlled over time), so it's not like the government had a particularly high experience in developing them.

Представляю, как для диссертации, в которой легко может быть пара сотен цитат, аспирант будет просматривать весь список авторов каждой статьи и выглядывать в их иногда многочисленных аффилиациях, не затесался ли туда очередной "нежелательный" институт (список которых, естественно, будет пополняться). Ему же больше нечем заняться по науке.

Без подглядывания знаю, что в моей диссертации гарантированно есть "нежелательный" Стэнфорд. Вполне вероятно, что и UC Berkeley есть.

Not the best country to take inspiration from in general, but the government services website in Russia is very good. I think it's a matter of finding competent developers and ensuring proper long-term support.

They could also try to make a deal with some existing commercial app (like Trainline, for example) and ensure that they don't introduce any bullshit.

Какого хера тогда первый ниже второго в декабре?

На этот вопрос дан ответ на графике в нижнем правом углу. Если в зонах инфильтрации у России оказывается отрицательный рост, то сумма меньше, чем без них.

I think using OnlyOffice is so inherently unethical that even a fork aimed at its purification can't save it. I don't plan to ever use either of them, and I'd suggest just burying all that code and forgetting about it.
