German opposition signals shift on Ukraine with call for peace talks
  • If he would restart the war, why is he pushing for peace talks?

    The war is both going worse than people expected it to go for him, and Russia is also making progress.

    Stopping the war, then restarting it risks a restarting of the war being impossible due to Ukraine signing security treaties with NATO members, and Ukraine building it's army up as a result of this war. Furthermore, given rolling the "invade Ukraine dice" went worse for Russia the first time than expected, why would they, or any similarly inclined nation, do it?

    Mapped: Millionaire Migration in 2024
  • One theory is that because there's no private healthcare for some stuff e.g. A&E, in the UK, if you want good healthcare (as all the public healthcare is shit here), you're better off going elsewhere that has both decent private and public healthcare.

    But also, property is expensive in the UK in the four cities that matter (London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow). $1M is £800k, given at most half one's wealth will go into one's property, you're looking at £400k. Compare what £400k gets you in those four UK cities, or even rural areas of the UK where it's still expensive, to anywhere else lol.

    If I was a millionaire, I'd ditch this island lol.

    German opposition signals shift on Ukraine with call for peace talks
  • Well it wouldn't be half of Ukraine, it would be about 20% by area and less than that by population.

    Its worth noting the fighting for Ukraine to keep that 20% is done involuntarily. People are literally being forced to die, make their partners widows, traumatise their family, for this 20%.

    It's easy enough sacrificing hundreds of thousands of other people's lives (I'm assuming you're not typing this from the donbas) for this small rural farming end of Ukraine, but that doesn't make it right.

    'LLM-free' is the new '100% organic' - Creators Are Fighting AI Anxiety With an ‘LLM-Free’ Movement
  • As far as I can find out, there was only one use of GPUs prior to alexnet for CNN, and it certainty didn't have the impact alexnet had. Besides, running this stuff on GPUs not CPUs is a relevant technological breakthrough, imagine how slow chayGPT would be running on a CPU. And it's not at all as obvious as it seems, most weather forecasts still run on CPU clusters despite them being obvious targets for GPUs.
