the anti-immigration right in Denmark was successful because they were data-driven and could show that unskilled non-Western immigration was a net negative even by 3rd generation.

the American and German far-right by contrast seem to be the polar opposite of data-driven. No the lazy 'IQ by country' maps don't count.

What is the ROI?

During the summer of 2017 Denmark flew hourly surveillance helicopters and military SIGINT aircrafts over Copenhagen to stop Sweden-like gang shootings. It was expensive but worked.

I'm not a mathematician but I think we underestimate how useful pure mathematics can be to tell whether we are approaching AGI.

Can the mathematicians here try ask it to invent new novel math related to [Insert your field of specialization] and see if it comes up with something new and useful?

Try lowering the temperature, use SymPy etc.

As a happy OpenRouter user I know the vast majority of the industry directly use vendor APIs and that the OpenRouter rankings are useless for those models.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Denmark's health system is pretty good except adult mental health. SOTA LLMs are definitely approaching a stage where they could help.

"Free buses" is not really a thing even in the most left leaning European countries. Most experts recommend very cheap subsidized public transportation but not free.

It's just because a very significant amount of UK satellites are OneWeb Internet satellites.
Elon Musk's takeover of X is already a good example of what happens with unlimited free speech and unlimited reach.

Neo-nazis and white nationalists went from their 3-4 replies per thread forums, 4chan posts, and Telegram channels, to now regularly reaching millions of people and getting tens of thousands of likes.

As a Danish person I remember how American media in the 2010s and early 2020s used to shame Denmark for being very right-wing on immigration. The average US immigration politics thread on X is worse than anything I have ever seen in Danish political discussions.

Re:Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran'; on Tuesday September 23, 2025 @03:43AM (#45343970)
It is actually illegal for EU companies and organizations to boycott Iran.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_statute

The EU has since the 1990s gone out of its way to support countries like Iran and Cuba against US/Israeli economic sanctions.

One Swedish-Kurdish man in Iran who is working for the Iranian government is using Telegram/Signal and Monero to intentionally cause carnage in the streets of Sweden and has been attempting to expand to Denmark.

But instead of going directly after this man our tech inept governments are trying to do the mathematically impossible.

Ideally based on FOSS models.

>Use the AGPL for server code, the GPL for tools and the LGPL for libraries.

If we are doing it for ideological reasons why not go all in and use AGPLv3 for everything, including libraries? It also has the added benefit that big corporations will not use your code.

Re:FFmpeg Assembly Language Lessons on Monday August 18, 2025 @11:14AM (#44941558)
What is the actual process of identifying hotspots caused suboptimal compiler generated assembly?

Would it ever make sense to write handwritten compiler intermediate representation like LLVM IR instead of architecture-specific assembly?

Re:LL3M: Large Language 3D Modelers on Sunday August 17, 2025 @11:22AM (#44932260)
Considering most SOTA LLMs are also multimodal/vision models, could they get better results if the LLM gets visual feedback with it?
