    You can absolutely want peace and even agree to concessions to Russia to reach a sustainable peace, but this point is absolutely valid: there must be security guarantees, otherwise Putin will just use the armistice to rebuild its strength and attack again.


  • Unlikely, they’re happy with their result.

    It’s however possible that the conservatives will run the Austrian playbook. Talks with the social democrats fail, “we have a responsibility to Germany to form a government”, then make a coalition with the AfD (Nazis).

    Back to your original question: the BSW will likely contest the elections, as they have missed the 5% threshold by only ~14k votes and there are evident irregularities. For example, many Germans living abroad, for example those living in the US, had almost no chance to cast their vote.


  • I wouldn’t know how to distinguish all of these calls for protest lately from astroturfing campaigns.

    Are there really no institutions left in the US you can rally behind and who are big and experienced enough to call for organised protests? What are the biggest non-governmental progressive or liberal institutions in the US anyway?




  • Tom Goldstein, a computer scientist at the University of Maryland, and his colleagues added a twist to how they presented numbers to a transformer that was being trained to add, by embedding extra “positional” information in each digit. As a result, the model could be trained on 20-digit numbers and still reliably (with 98% accuracy) add 100-digit numbers, whereas a model trained without the extra positional embedding was only about 3% accurate.

    So they had an idea on how to fix a completely dysfunctional method and their result is, that a computing task that we can perform automatically and with 100% accuracy for 80 years or so, using a different and well understood method, can now be done at much higher energy costs using said inadequate method with 98% accuracy.

    Why are these people still receiving research money?




  • Look, she has a point too. Let’s say your skin has a temperature of 30°C and the moving air has a temperature of 21°C. As the air moves past the skin, heat is being exchanged more efficiently from skin to air, cooling the skin.

    You have a point as well, the room is heating up more efficiently for basically the same reason.

    I suggest to turn on the ceiling fans while heating up the room for like half an hour or however long it takes to reach ± 1°C of the desired room temperature, and to turn it off afterwards.

    Yeah well and ideas occur to you after you’ve experienced something and by proxy that is one reason why people will always put their own basic needs above some abstract idea of a better world and everything. As opposed to “just think about a better world and talk about it and people will believe in it and fight for it”. Which doesn’t work, in case that’s news to anyone. Although in the 1840s, it really was.

    As always in politics, the problem is divergent interests. For example I disagree with the notion that the image depicts an utopia. It’s a dystopia in my view.

    1. people are traveling by planes (a flying car is just that), which must be very, very loud and inefficient. Where do they travel to? Why don’t they get their goods by underground parcel mini-rail?

    2. no flowers in this picture. What about biodiversity? What are people eating? Soylent green?

    3. the only animal depicted is a domesticated one (judging from the size, a dog or a large rat).

    4. it’s all metal and glass. Can I have wood and stone instead please?

    I want to live in a society that has extremely high living standards, but lives with nature, not against it. And today’s problems have more to do with unequal access to basic needs and luxury, luxury being defined as things only few people can realistically enjoy at the same time and general drive to produce goods no-one needs instead of distributing work equally, getting rid of redundant office jobs and all the other inefficiencies capitalism brings.
