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.
Yes, Germany france and italy
STmicroelectronics and Infineon are the only one I can think of. I use STm boards for embedded projects
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.
Why do you need to do maintenance on the wiring and the plumbing? Those are things you repair if needed once every 20 years maybe. I had to replace an RCD switch for 20$ last year and that’s it. Foundations and roofs you do not touch like ever, I lived in a house that got no foundations maintenance in 600 years. For heating maintenance you need to bleed the radiators and cleanup the aircon radiators and filters, both of which are free.
EDIT: I mean, this probably is just part of the wood vs masonry difference. Probably wood houses are just more expensive to maintain
more like: “pools after 2022 are clearly false (over 100% turnout), made at gunpoint (supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity is a crime in Russia, and voting was not private but door-to-door), with incredible selection bias (40% of the population, mostly those that did not want to be under Russian occupation fled) and no international observer”
It is really .ml bias that the united nations (who certified Dunbas elections as illegal 143 in favour, 5 against, Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua, Russia and Syria) are always wrong, but the Russian government, a dictatorship with proven demonstrable fake elections, invading other countries since forever, is somewhat right, even when they have clear vested interest in lying all the time.
It must be a strange sensation to let go of logic in such a deep way that Russia propaganda makes sense to you.
what kind of maintenance do you actually need? I do very little in terms of maintenance, and most of that is just free. Cleaning mostly (radiators, windows, boiler, appliances filters and descaling) and checking (RCD switch test). Painting every 5 years on walls and exterior wood and trim is cheap, as is checking fixing the silicon sealants. I cannot think of anything else: usually in europe we have smaller houses with no garden made of masonry. We do not need to worry as much about UV or termites.
Now imperialist military conquest is called “liberation”. Doublespeak at his finest.
People in lugansk wanted to be part of Ukraine. In 2014, the last reliable pool showed 70% of the interviewed wanting to be part of Ukraine.
In general what people in lugansk wanted was being part of an independent Ukraine with extensive regional autonomy and frictionless economic integration with Russia. What they got is invasion from Russia, coercive legal assimilation, property confiscation, human abuses, forced conscription.
I know that Australia is totally different but as a European is crazy to me that I spend around 500€ a year for all the above and you spend tens of thousands
It is not annoying practically. As you learn imperial you learn metric all the same
EU already stepped up. Europe is paying for the entirety of Ukraine foreign aid since Trump is in office.
To give Russia territory Russia does not control, to remove Ukraine military removing the ability to prevent the third invasion in the future and total isolation of Ukraine from the rest of the world does not sound “fair sounding” to me, but maybe you know more.
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.
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.
