North Korea provided Russia with weapons, White House says
  • NK has 152mm and 122mm howitzers compatible with Russian artillery, but also mixed bag of other calibers. But how much of which calibers they have is unclear.

    I doubt they trade the weapons/ammo for consumer goods, I assume it's a trade for Russian weapon technology.

  • Mia Khalifa fired from Playboy for her pro-Hamas posts after the Israel attack
  • Gaza is extremely over populated and is inhabitated almost exclusively by Palestinians. Taking some of them (those who want) would not contribute to cleansing in any meaningful way. The truth is that Muslim countries don't really care about the Palestinians other than using them as a political tool.

  • Ukraine's central bank abandons fixed exchange rate from 3 October
  • Ukraine’s attacking with fewer resources and fewer men in a war of attrition. Ukraine simply cannot win in that context.

    This offensive != war.

    Ukrainian strategy is fucking insane to watch and Russia simply isn’t incurring the losses necessary to pull out of the conflict.

  • you've bled half of your able-bodied men to either the frontline or the border.

    It's Russia who spills Ukrainian blood, let's be clear about that.

    But seeing your post history, you're a Russian imperialist / apologist, so I guess you know that and just twist facts intentionally...

  • What was the latest actual breakthrough in your field?
  • The problem with saying LLMs are AI - let alone a step towards AGI - is that they cannot create.

    I'm not sure if there's an intrinsic difference between humans and LLMs here. What we, including children, do is just re-hashing, re-combinating what they've seen / heard. I think it would be very difficult to prove that people come up with completely brand-new ideas without any external inspiration (= training input).

    The examples are not really convincing of your point. The GPT output is pretty good given the ask, I'm not sure if my daughter would fare better.

  • What was the latest actual breakthrough in your field?
  • I'm not a fan of discussing such terms since it devolves into arguing vague definitions.

    Assuming LLMs are not intelligent, they prove that you can do heck of a lot without even being intelligent.
