Obviously not. In actual thinking, we can generate an idea, evaluate it for internal consistency and consistency with our (generally much more than linguistic, i.e. may include visual imagery and other sensory representations) world models, decide this idea is bad / good, and then explore similar / different ideas. I.e. we can backtrack and form a branching tree of ideas. LLMs cannot backtrack, do not have a world model (or, to the extent they do, this world model is solely based on token patterns), and cannot evaluate consistency beyond (linguistic) semantic similarity.

Are you suggesting that Ireland is even more strict on immigration than the US is?


Since when the city one lives in is mentioned in the birth certificate?

This is the "dictator" that you're allowed to run for election against and the "no chewing gum" bylaws Singaporeans sell T-shirts joking about the system to foreigners, right?

Try doing that in mainland China...


I believe you mis remembered it. He didn't rule out military intervention.

In an interview reported by Reuters, he said he’d impose 150%–200% tariffs if China “went into Taiwan,” and when asked about using military force against a blockade he said it “would not come to that” because Xi “respects me” and knows he’s “crazy.”

A law cannot overturn the Constitution, you need an Amendment for that. In principle, anyway. If you have a Supreme Court that abdicates its duties then you can do whatever you want, at the cost of legitimacy.

If you wouldn't condemn the previous tenants for trying to defend their lands against invaders, then you have no right to condemn us. Hopefully we will have more success.

This guy admits he entered under the Visa Waiver Program in 2009, then remained in the country illegally: https://www.universalhub.com/files/attachments/2026/culleton... ("Culleton concedes he is removable under the VWP. Reply 10.").

If he wants to go home, he can just go home under the DOJ's Voluntary Departure Program: https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1480811/dl


It's at an altitude of 8500+ ft - UV is much stronger and the sunburns can be bad if you're not prepared.

I'm always fascinated by these growth charts. Isn't everyone who needs GitHub already on GitHub? Are people migrating from GitLab? I don't get it!

For my OSS work that is about $699 over my budget

Immigrants are a problem created by wealthy people with the intention of dumping the cost of labour.

True, the even simpler explanation is what they've migrated to is itself just unreliable

Also the blood veins that you see as bluish through the skin are blue for the same reason, due to light scattered in their walls.

Oh they knew. They knew.

Okay just kidding, but also people stealing what they think are good ideas, discarding the rest, and passing off what is passed along as their own? Everyone does that. Anyone who says different is blind to their own behavior.


It doesn't look like injustice that he's been locked up in squalid conditions for five months with no trial or process? How long is he going to be there? Is he going to face a trial or tribunal? Is he getting deported?

If you think he should be free to stay in the US, fine; if you think he deserves to be deported, fine; what he doesn't deserve is to be corralled indefinitely in filthy conditions just because they need to meet their quotas.

If you don't think that's injustice then there's something wrong with your sense of morality.


why is what showing up? it just looks like they're a new Github user trying to make a tool to basically ask a bunch of different questions about signapore to varius LLMs.

I haven't checked on this in a long time, but IIRC, the insurance company will always blame the person in back in a rear-end collision, for just this reason. A rear-end collision should always be avoidable.

Very excited to see some new developments around foss calendar solutions.

To me the difference is, there seems to have been way more freedom of thought in the pre christian societies. Polytheism is (usually) more open to new ideas than religios dogma of one god. This is for me what dark times means, and the age of enlightenment when it was possible again to dare to think in new directions and not be afraid of the inquisition anymore.

How to do real research, when you have to align every insight with some old book or face the stake? Only very restricted, in secrecy and not in open exchange.

So also in non christian societies people were killed for having the wrong ideas, but comparing greece or early rome with the christian empires, it seems obvious to me why progress was slowed down for so long.


Tyler Cowen used to blog about Singapore monthly, and now he does not. He reflected on why he doesn't. He admitted that he doesn't because its not cool to people in power. I find that a funny admission because I long suspected that academia's basic function is to suck up to power and justify whatever decisions the elite make.

Not the primary use case for stickers, but what do you do when you're talking with someone for whom you're not literate in their language? Or someone who is not literate in any language?

Stickers provide utility beyond beyond a fun way to communicate. Stickers, emoji reactions, voice notes, etc. are things we tend to see denigrated here, but are also non-optional features for a messaging app in the year 2016.


I'm happy that they're being transparent about it. There's no good way to take downtime, but at least they don't try to cover it up. We can adjust and they'll make it better. I'm sure a retro is on its way it's been quite the bumpy month.

There's a follow-up story from The Guardian that seems to have details relevant to this line of questioning: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/09/irish-man-se...

First of all, back in November, a judge approved his release on bond, which he paid, but the government ignored that order and continued to detain him.

After his detention, he was asked to sign paperwork opting for voluntary deportation; he refused, but then the government proceeded to claim in court that he had signed documents to that effect, which he and his lawyer insist must be falsified or otherwise in error. However a judge allowed them to stand, which removes his ability to appeal. Now, either because the government is inept or malicious, he seems to be stuck in a legal limbo unless his lawyer can challenge the government's documentation or force an analysis of those forms.


Every single forum I see now is using this:

Seems to work okay in general. I'm not a big fan of the gamified notification system it seems to have - whenever I sign up for an instance, it'll send me things like "Super reader achievement unlocked! You read 10 threads." or whatever. I suppose it can be turned off since it's OSS.


(1) "Judge" is not necessarily identical with "due process." (2) Congress can't override constitutional protections by passing new laws. That would require a constitutional amendment.

Why do you categorize this as an "operating system"?

I have a friend who would also follow too closely to the cars in front and got one of these. Her rates went up and she eventually got into an accident (no injuries to anyone) because she would follow too closely and still break too hard.

Now she still has the machine, still follows too closely, and still breaks too hard in her new car...

Good it worked for you though!


Not to mention collecting them at all means those servers are a primo location for stage actors to stage themselves to make copies of data before being deleted.

To say nothing of insider threats of which likely exist across every major social media platform in service to foreign govs


At one point in my life I rode a bicycle 40+ km per day. I see things nobody else seems to and I think that has a lot to do with it. I cannot win the collision.

Much of being a good driver is just awareness.

One time my light turns green, I don't go. As my wife asks what I'm waiting for, a pickup blows the light. We weren't the first car at that light, and years later she still talks about how there's no way I could know. Well, I didn't get us t-boned at 80 so I must have done something right.
