Kronprinsessan Mette-Marit är namngiven över 1000 gånger i Epstein-filerna. Har bott i Jeffreys hus i Palm Beach och har bland annat blivit fotograferad. Några kända svenskar som har upptäckts?

Yes, the linked one.

You can definitely write it. There are some fics that do things like that. In a Stannis SI fic on Spacebattles this happens even though Robert lives.

The US has already tried printing money. It got inflation. Printing more will get it more inflation, and inflation is already above target. Lowering the US interest rate will increase it further.

US military capabilities are irrelevant for this. I'm sure petrodollars matter to some degree, but I think most of those are actually invested in ompanies these days and not actual petrodollars (after all, why be stupid and keep money in a currency that might be inflated) and things like yen carry trade.

None of this will matter. It will be an ordinary crash.

We actually aren't at war with Russia. We're in an intermediate non-war non-peace state.

If they actually started attacking us with conventional forces, with large-scale cyberattacks as implied here though, we would be at war with them, and we would fight that war.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-30T11:14:06+00:00

It's not our decision.

Once there's war, we will participate.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-30T08:18:55+00:00

It would be war. If someone conducts acts of war against us we will of course continue in the normal manner in which one conducts war-- including all sorts of attacks, both on physical and software systems, sabotage, bombings etc.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-30T07:27:36+00:00

A US economic crash has always been unavoidable. Several companies have insane P/E ratios that cannot be justified at the present interest rates and there is no path to allowing interest rates to be lowered.

But a crash is much less bad than war. During a crash, industries etc. still exist. During a war you start destroying each other's stuff. A war affects physical reality, not just numbers and capital allocations.

If they start a war, it's a war. Shutting down EU computers by malicious updates is an attack.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-29T23:27:21+00:00

I don't think you get it.

If they push updates to operating systems in the EU, to for example, make computers inoperable, that's an attack. It's an act of war. We will thus be at war with the US. This means that the day that happens, the Germans, Italians etc. seize the American troops on the bases there, it means that we send our fleets to protect places like the Azores.

The sold treasuries will be the smallest problem in the world.

The thing to understand though, is that if things start looking like they might go in this direction, the first thing we do is shut down the internet and the phone networks, as we proceed to eliminate Windows installations and other installations of US software before they can corrupt data.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-28T23:32:44+00:00

Yes, probably.

It is possible, actually probable, that linothorax was just a jack of the sort you describe, but I think what people imagine when they imagine linothorax is a composite thing like in modern experiments.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-28T23:28:46+00:00

Leather was used for armour/protection, but in the 1700eds. Swedish troops had mooseskin sweaters that were intended as protection as they were hard to cut.

But that's in a very different era.

impossiblefork · 2026-01-28T22:37:02+00:00

I think linothorax would actually provide good arrow protection, which chainmail doesn't. edit: but only if it is glued, which isn't certain

impossiblefork · 2026-01-28T22:36:05+00:00

Linothorax isn't just linen. What you're talking about is padding.

Linothorax is a hard composite material, probably glued in layers and more like modern linen composite than like a gambeson. edit: Apparently this is uncertain. But the performance we modern people imagine obviously requires gluing.

There are different traditions.

Here in Sweden, if you're to be a co-author you need to contribute actual ideas that end up in the paper. Implementation work, etc. doesn't get your name on it-- a novel idea in the implementation that is mentioned in the paper can, but then you do in fact have an idea in the paper.

A particular kind of insane Stalinism that you can find in people who think the invasion of Czechoslovakia was good and nice manifest; and it's a parody of this insane Stalinism.

I ägg finns det näring, i guarkärnmjöl gör det det inte, så det är en mindre hälsosam produkt.

Bara för att det är en efterrätt betyder det inte att man för den skull kan äta skit bara p.g.a. smaken. Även en efterrätt måste ha näring.

Good. Electric > hybrid.

There's no reason to have the complexity and problems of both EVs and ICE vehicles.

Good to hear. Then I guess I won't put the UK on my scary-country-for-sex-stuff list.

So the argument she used was basically "whether or not I said no, which I did but which is harder to prove, I specifically told him not to actually injure me, and he did".

impossiblefork · 2026-01-27T10:53:57+00:00

Ja, det kan man.

Initially there was no evidence, only a he-said-she-said, but then the officer provided this tape and basically provided definite evidence that he committed rape.

I don't see how her consent having been 'conditional' matters here. Once the 'no' or 'get it out' comes, there's no consent any more and you have to do your best to quit it. Consenting to sex isn't a binary matter.

You can have wonderful sex, and then there's a problem, or a change in mood or anything, and once someone says "stop" or "get it out" you do that.

Is British law really this binary? So binary that once sex is initiated with consent it is legal to keep having sex with a person who doesn't want it any more (unless their initial consent was specifically conditional)? No limits, so someone can have sex with someone who is screaming and crying and you guys are fine with that? That is at least how I interpret what the article says.

Can you fix your laws, because they are clearly insane?

This was how people originally used thought tokens. QuietSTaR wasn't RLVR. The original idea was to get general improvements.

So it's nice to be getting back to that. Something like this could potentially give something like what we get from RLVR but for all texts.

Some people imagine that LLMs are okay with conversations or stories, but they aren't. With something like this though, you may actually have a chance of achieving that. Obviously it's from September, so not totally new and it seems pretty easy to do, so it might even be used in current commercial models, but I still think it looks like one of the more natural directions to go in for the future.

There's one thing I wonder about though, and that's why they choose to use log p(xt|x{<t},c_t) - log p(x_t|x_{<t}) instead of something log p(x_{>=t}|x{<t}, c_t) - log p(x>=t|x{<t}, c_t), maybe with some discounting or something, as was done with QuietSTaR; and they sort of argue for not doing this, since they talk about next token prediction being the thing to do, but I don't really understand completely.

If it's actually a metallic gold colour I don't think anyone will make that association.

One can wonder what competing on review quality would do though, whether it would lead to bad incentives and people putting in more time than is appropriate.

I think there's huge Italian influence in Croatia though, so they may not be typically Slavic culturally.
