Viktor Orban is now 20 points behind in the polls - and so he has ordered the military to guard “key energy facilities” against a possible Ukrainian “attack.” Hungarians fear he plans a fake national security emergency or false-flag incident before the April 12 election apnews.com/article/hung...

So, the “Ukraine coup”… I’m sure you’ve heard about it, didn’t you? Caused all the war and stuff - but what really happened? It was **21 February 2014** and here’s how what #Russia today calls “the coup” _actually_ looked like. A bit… unusual setting for a […] [Original post on agora.echelon.pl]

The PPE3 aims to increase decarbonised electricity production to between 650 and "693 TWh in 2035, compared with 458 TWh in 2023, while reducing fossil fuel consumption to about 330 TWh in 2035, compared with 900 TWh in 2023. This trajectory, the government said, "will reverse the country's […]

I found another PC in the attic. This one I used to mine Bitcoin on. Athlon II 250, Nvidia 9800 GT. 3 hard drives. It might even have the damn wallet with 0.64 BTC still in it 😅 The one that I unrecoverably lost the key to. In 2010.

It is specifically weird because - outside of a few specific circles - "I just had an LLM generate some code I didn't check" does not give you praise but ridicule or even attacks. So it must be very relevant to say that instead of just using the magic machine and not saying anything.

@mawhrin I’ve recently seen a joke (not really) by one Isaac Gantwerk Mayer: a difference between a normal person and a linguist is that a normal person thinks Chomsky should’ve stuck to linguistics and a linguist thinks he shouldn’t have done that either.
