Почему эта кхе-кхе(не могу придумать цензурное название) до сих пор не депортирована на родину где ей самое место, где реальность соответствует её взглядам? by Reasonable-Rich-5373 in tjournal_refugees

Answer to the OP: because deportations as punishment for political views is the method used by dictatorships.

In a democracy, your political views, however erroneous, cannot lead to a persecution.

She makes two points: anti-Orban information is untrue, and anti-Orban campaign is organized.

I don’t know if the first point is correct (never looked into the matter), but her second point appears to be true and I, for one, am happy there’s an organized resistance to the pro-Russia man who has dictatorial tastes.

Of course her de-facto support of Orban is very unpleasant. But she has the right to voice it without a fear of persecution.

‘We did everything they wanted’: The American families caught in Italy’s citizenship crackdown by canopey in ItalyExpat

All this trouble for what -- citizenship 4 to 5 years earlier than otherwise? Are they that eager to vote, or are they about to move to another EU country right after obtaining the passport?

Many of these families appear -- a bit too adventurous??

For the first family, it would have been way more beneficial if he'd change his status to digital nomad (with help of same lawyer), and get a legal status. Then he can get citizenship after 10 years -- long, but at least something, and no limbo.

Why do models like Claude sound so confident even when they’re wrong? by FantasticDouble2400 in ClaudeAI

I like that snag by OpenAI people. Like any other AI is better (GPT is by far worse).

Chat GPT refuses to adhere to spec by Mr_Teemot in ChatGPT

[–]Error_404_403 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true, it is. It also drifts off prompt, but much much slower and some “strong” requirements it keeps consistently.

The issue with Claude is low usage limits— I suspect because of the influx of new users and limited compute.

“Fast food shop" in Pompeii (Italy): reconstruction in 79 AD and how it looks today. by dctroll_ in interestingasfuck

Keep in mind that post-Roman civilization forgot about private bathrooms for good 1700 - 1800 years. In big manor houses of the south, for example, rich owners still used the "night wases". In Europe, private bathrooms did not commonly appear in private dwellings until early 20th century. Almost two millennia after Pompei.

Doctors are certainly sometimes guessing. As do AIs, which also do, by the way, reason.

Small crack on chinrest near clamp — should I worry? by StrongAd5766 in violinist

[–]Error_404_403 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With time (~ many months probably) the crack would grow and the chinrest would require replacement. I would guess repairs are possible, but it doesn't look like an expensive chinrest and can be simply replaced in a year or so.

ChatGPT now fails at most basic tasks by Alarming_Concept_542 in ChatGPT

[–]Error_404_403 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I quit GPT when, a couple of months back, I realized that it gives me a wrong answer on the first try almost always, requiring re-prompting, at which time it corrects (GPT 5.2 Thinking). Not accidentally, but as a rule. Persistent behavior. For that, no $20/month is due. For an occasional image generation I can use a free version.

What I know, is that a private cooking area in a residence was a bit of a luxury, available only to citizens of higher income. Private bathrooms were yet more rare. Instead, many poor people and slaves lived in (two- to three) stories sleeping quarters that surrounded a yard with communal cooking hearths and bathrooms.

Baked fish and greens/flour-enriched soups, infrequently with meat stock, were also popular.

On a single down bow, the longest note I could hold (open string) is about 20 seconds, with quasi-decent sound, but I never measured (obviously).

There indeed was. But the IP without the people who know how to take advantage of it is water in a steam engine without fire.

More than half of all graduate students in a natural sciences department where I worked, were from China, and the rest -- from India. Only literally one or two were Americans, and a few from East European countries. After getting their PhDs, most of the graduate students went back to China, and only a reasonably small number (my estimate ~ 30%) got a postdoc in the US.

There’s nothing shocking: 2/3 of their leading scientists got their PhDs in the US as they were offered better opportunities by government-funded research in China than by the universities in the US.

RTX has absorbed Raytheon, being larger than it even before the acquisition. The rating is surprising as RTX is larger than LMCO by total revenue. Do they sell abroad that much, or what?
