It is the committee that is based in Norway. Doesn’t mean it is Norway the country. Just like US does not control the decisions of UN just because UN is located in US.

Or because ChatGPT produced texts exists on the internet now. I remember before destillation was a thing when Claude was new and it said it was chaptgpt (probably because ChatGPT was the only popular LLM ai at the time)
Why does the farmer not start a bakery if their grains are so good? And so on. Silly argument.

Unrelated. What happened with .io? Didn’t they say they would disappear or did that change?
Re:Apple HomeView on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @12:18PM (#50074163)
That is pretty much the case with any software that you don't build and host yourself. Is it possible that they are lying? Sure.

Moves slower than api:s for new libraries etc. And human lawyers of course can miss new rules as well. Best of course is to fetch the latest rules.

Purpose could also be to show “look what we can do” and citizens will think they are more powerful than they are and think “what’s stopping them from causing a nuclear meltdown or releasing all the water in a water resovari”?

Remember lots of Russian tactics is pretending they can do a lot of bad stuff if people don’t do what they want. “Stop helping Ukraine or we will nuke you”.

I think a lot of people claim it is because in practice letting the AI just use grep yielded better results.

Nice.

Yea it is silly because everyone knows the best language for LLM:s is Elixir

Re:Platform-Independent SIMD in Go on Friday September 25, 2026 @10:25AM (#49845145)
Why is that the case? I don’t know low level programming so why is Go limited in interop with C?
Sounds a lot like Liveview in Phoenix.

Because being a cash cow does not mean the cash will be reinvested by the owner. The owner might just milk the cow and use the money for other things.
Re:Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @03:17PM (#49821107)
Semantics. Cancer is uncontrolled growth of cells. Treating it is killing/removing the cancer cells. Problem of course is you are never sure if you got all of them. If you got all of them you are “cured”. If you didn’t you are not cured in case the remaining cells manage to grow and spread again. We don’t talk about “cure” because of course it is impossible to verify if 100% is gone or not.

But those countries also pay less in a lot of other fields as well. Developers make less in those countries than they make in the US.

And now they struggle to even defeat Iran. American troops had to retreat from American bases because USA isn’t able to defend those bases anymore.

Russia is more than twice the size of China. Hasn’t helped them to stay protected from drones.
