The entire certification process of the components used in nuclear is a mess in Europe.

Parts needs to be certified multiple times for multiple entities, and the same is true for each component used in building those parts. Each country in Europe has different regulations, so the same design needs to be adapted and recertified so it is always the first of a kind. The process is done multiple times during construction as the criteria changes with continuous renegotiating and amendments to the contracts.

That makes the costs explode. Nuclear in China is as safe and costs 3 to 7 times less. The difference is know how (they never stopped building), standardization and scale.

Nuclear is expensive, but lot of those expense are unnecessary self inflicted burocracy. We know already how to make something cheap and safe, like we do in aerospace. It is about wanting to do it. Nuclear works at night. Natural gas cannot be the alternative. Battery could be, but as of now the technology is not ready, even more expensive for long term storage and cannot scale fast enough.

We can make nuclear the way forward for a century at least (not because of lack of fuel, that is not an issue, really). It is just understanding if we want to for the right reasons. It is a political issue, not a technical one.

“If” people stop buying. People is still buying.

Meizu decided to drop out of phone manufacturing because of RAM price. Same with ASUS. Nothing decided not to release a CMF phone this year because of RAM prices.

All major consumer hardware manufacturers reports thinner margins.

Do you have any reason to believe they all lies even if wholesale RAM prices are public and show increased manufacturing costs?

No, because it is not people buying that drives RAM price up. It is data centers. People not buying just makes consumer facing companies go bankrupt. It will not bring down prices.

Trump admin hates on the Muslim brotherhood while striving to follow the same steps with Christian nationalism. Extremist Islam is MAGA dream world with another flavor.

To be completely honest, RFK is saying exactly that: the cultural output of the Arab world stagnated. I disagree completely with the why (Muslim brotherhood), but it is true the output in the sciences is not the same as during the golden age.

All those romance language speaking countries consume english content daily. Nobody in Italy reads Spanish or French news. Italian speak better English than they speak French. I am not really sure the language similarity is a factor tbh. I think education and protest culture are much bigger factors. Albania and Serbia speak totally different languages.

They want to find vulnerabilities, even vulnerabilities that you cannot use or that you have no evidence are getting used, to justify canceling the vote later.

EU already stepped up. Europe is paying for the entirety of Ukraine foreign aid since Trump is in office.

You are doing everything yourself 😂

I easily quoted your claim, you failed to do the same with mine. So I guess it is you who is dropping your claim. Seriously come to grips with reality and logic.

Please quote the claim I made you disputed, I will try to defend it or drop it.

Do you even know what a claim is?

they do not think, reason, or feel. They are completely incapable of these things.

This is a claim. You made a claim. My assertion that you need to substantiate your claim definitionally does not constitute a claim.

I am not. I want to understand what is the difference between “feeling” as result of electrochemical reactions in our brain and “feeling” as result of math performed on a numerical matrix. I am perfectly aware those are not the same, but the result may be similar, and what we care of the result determines the conclusions we can make.

You need to clearly explain what is thinking and what in the “thinking” process of LLM is not thinking. If you define “thinking” as electromechanical reactions in human brains then LLM is not thinking, but it is not a useful definition.

Russia targeted nearly every type of civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Most of them totally unrelated to the conflict or Ukrainian ability to wage war. 30% of the destruction is against houses, with more then 60 billions of dollars in damage. WHO recorded 3148 attach on healthcare facilities, and 423 schools were totally destroyed by Russia.

That is definitionally true. The problem is that Russia commits the undeniably vast majority of war crimes in the war. It is not even close, we are talking 2 orders of magnitude more war crime from Russia according to the Russia government. We are talking about things like systematic deportation of children and torture.

To be honest human spew bullshit all the time when they do not understand something. Or people are confidently incorrect all the time as they are remembering incorrectly. The amount of bullshitting is more a meter for intelligence, not something that discriminate between intelligence or the lack thereof.
