Well, less Shahed drones also means Russia has to rely more on expensive ballistic missiles for the foreseeable future. Whether the balance tilts to Ukraine’s favour or Russia would require more in-depth research than I can perform.

You’ll have to provide some sources when saying Ukraine is already bled dry. That’s not something I can accept at face value.

I doubt Ukraine is looking for a simple ceasefire. And me saying until Ukraine is unwilling to fight does not mean until they are unable to defend themselves any longer.

Obviously, there are competent people in the Ukrainian military that can determine when continuing the fight is more disadvantageous for the long term. That point has not been reached yet.

In what way would the Iran war benefit Russia outside of increasing the profit margin of their oil exports? Iran is now using up their supply of Shahed drones in the war, which means they would be less likely to have enough to sell to Russia. It just sounds like another blow to their ability to continue waging war against Ukraine.

On the other hand, can Russia keep this up longer than Ukraine is willing to fight? Given that one side is protecting their own sovereignty while the other is doing it for the imperialistic ambitions of the few at the top, I’d say they can’t unless the EU or the US forces an end to the war. Even if you prove that they can, you still need to weigh this over the fact that giving Putin the land will only embolden him to continue his invasion after he rebuilds his army.

Nah, I don’t agree with prolonging the war, but I vehemently disagree with forcing the war to end by capitulating to Putin.

We’ve seen what happens when you do and the answer was not long term peace. Doing that again is as stupid as the US starting another war in the middle east.

As long as Ukraine is still fighting, the EU should keep letting them fight. Stopping Putin’s ambitions short is beneficial for them as well as Ukraine.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territory⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The west should’ve, but they didn’t. I never said the west did everything right while helping Ukraine, but you were suggesting that they should let Russia keep the territories that they stole, which is basically giving Putin what he wants.

Remind me what happens the last time they conceded their territory to Putin? It definitely didn’t prevent them from invading again.

Ukraine is not conquering Russian lands, so there is no “has it all” for them. It’s a fight to not let Putin steal their land. The fact that you’re equating the two sides really shows your lack of neutrality in this matter. Where you made your account is simply more proof of it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territory⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Just like Russian soldiers are forced to fight in Ukraine?

And are you even hearing yourself? They are ABLE to fight because they are sold weapons. The alternative is that they can’t fight back an invasion of their own country and have to surrender it to the imperialistic ambition of a crazy leader like Putin. I guess given the place you make your account, that is exactly what you want.

I just don’t understand all this pretense about caring for Ukrainian soldiers when we all know which side you actually support.

They’re fighting for their sovereignty, not for the EU. Stop with this baseless logic you tankies keep using.

I would love such a frank but witty feedback like this, though. Better than ones that humourlessly punch down on your inexperience.

Same exact reason I want it, as well. Right now using a controller with the Steam Deck always feel like a downgrade.

I don’t know what you’re even arguing. Your analogy breaks down because in this case, we can’t even see if the raven is black or not. No one can theoretically prove consciousness. The rest of your comments seems to be arguing that current AI has no consciousness, which is exactly what I said, so I guess this is just an attempt at supporting my point?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ars Technica makes up quotes from Matplotlib maintainer("An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"); pulls story⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Everything you said is right, but you’re only proving that LLM weights is a severely simplified version of neurons. It neither disproves that they don’t have consciousness or that being a mathematical model precludes it from having consciousness at all.

In my opinion, the current models doesn’t express any consciousness, but I am against saying they don’t because they are a mathematical model rather than by the results we can measure. The fact that we can’t theoretically prove consciousness in the human brain also means we can’t theoretically disprove consciousness in an LLM model. They aren’t conscious because they haven’t expressed enough to be considered conscious, and that’s the extent we should claim to know.

Okay, now explain how the human neuron expresses consciousness.

It sounds so much better, though. They aren’t pretending to be humans, so the context of the conversation is more interesting to me.

So you agree those models have already been made, and running them no longer require 50 exawatts of power, right? Not sure why you decide to change the context to training the models instead of running it like the other guy was claiming.

(As if you genuinely believe those are the ones GOG is using.)

I thought the context was changed to general use of LLM as a tool for programmers, not specifically about GOG? Can’t even double check it now because the mod removed the comment for some reason.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Which means calling some anti-AI people Luddites make perfect sense, no? Many of them have just as valid of a worry and fear as the Luddites did.

Of course, once the anti-AI sentiment goes mainstream, the amount of idiots who are irrationally anti-AI also increases, and these ones are not worth listening to, unlike the Luddites-like ones.

Neither does a locally run LLM model.

You keep making points I’ve already addressed. Like I said, you were never interested in trying to understand anything I said. I ain’t gonna try anymore.

It’s like I’m talking to a stump with how adamant you are to not get what point I’m trying to tell you. Never mind then, I give up. Not worth wasting my time trying to explain to someone that refuses to read.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The problem is that you’re thinking like a sane person, while Trump isn’t. Just the fact that people took his toddler tantrum seriously enough to even pretend like they are compromising emboldens him. We’ve seen this happen how many times now and it only made things worse.

You talked about start position as if that matters to Trump. Remember when Canada backed down on their digital service tax act? In reality, it’s simply a return to status quo, but to this insane administration, they consider it a “win” to make Canada compromise to a crazy situation Trump initiated.

Being so happy that Trump didn’t get what he pretended to want is just you being tricked by his flood the zone tactic. This type of toddler decisions should have just been completely shut down without any need for discussion. I don’t know why you’re happy that it was entertained for even a moment.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
You seem to be ignoring my points and repeating the same arguments that I’ve already addressed. Not a big surprise you think this is going to stop Trump when you act like you can’t read.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, because now you’re emboldening him. Instead of getting full pushback from him acting like a toddler, they are making him feel like he won.

Tell me what happens when you make someone feel like they won something by acting like a toddler? They certainly won’t stop acting like one, let me tell you that.
