After Poland managed to collapse communist regime in partially
free elections in 1989 where all elected sits went to democratic opposition the whole Soviet Union collapsed. Ukraine declared independence in 1991, all regions of Ukraine decided to stay with Ukraine in national referendum.
In 1991 Polish and Ukraine GDP were about equal, both countries have around 40 million citizens.
Poland immediately turned towards West. We rapidly liberated our economy - Balcerowicz reforms. We aimed at joining NATO and EU as guarantees of our independence from Soviets/Russia. After invading Poland in 1939 with Germans, last Russian soldiers left Poland in 1993. We joined NATO in 1999 and EU in 2004.
Ukraine on the other hand was divided between West and East.
In 2021 Polish economy was 3 times bigger than Ukrainian. More than million Ukrainians were economic migrants in Poland.
We made the right choice with turning immediately towards West with full force. Ukraine stumbled.
But they saw that Poland is doing so much better than they were doing. That's why they wanted to join EU. That's what started Euromajdan.
Now Russia is threatening all of us with nuclear holocaust. Every other month you can hear from the highest Russian leadership nuclear threats.
We have lost 20% of population in WWII started by Germany and Soviet Russia. Every fifth person killed.
We are taking Russian holocaust threats 100% seriously.
Yup, the models are smart, but are trained to follow standard human patterns for this type of questions. And even on hackernews vast majority will not think that they would need to correct for buoyancy when actually attempting the experiment in standard conditions.
They very often get popular "tricky" questions wrong because they saw it so many times that they switch from internal reasoning to memorization/retrieval.
Transformer needs to retrieve letters per each token while forced to keep internal representation still aligned in length with the base tokens (each token also has finite embedding, while made out of multiple letters), and then it needs to count the letters within misaligned representation.
Autoregressive mode completely alleviate the problem as it can align its internal representation with the letters and it can just keep explicit sequential count.
BTW - humans also can't count without resorting to sequential process.
The task of Russian navy was to invade Odessa and sabotage Ukrainian grain trade. They didn't even attempt Odessa desant, because they knew it was futaile. And they failed at sabotaging Ukrainian grain trade, but not for a lack of effort.
Otherwise these ships served as missile lunchers, but even then they had to widraw to ports far away from Ukraine, because of drone attacks.
Ukraine won the naval battle at tiny fraction of the Russian navy cost.
The ship has long sailed. EU decided that our laws will be applied maximally - to all EU citizens regardless of their location and for everyone within our territorial control.
And if other countries like USA have conflicting laws like Patriot Act then companies can be even forced to divest from EU or split their businesses so that USA branch can not enforce USA spy laws in EU. Google Privacy Shield.
Depends on the benchmarks. AI that can actually do end to end the job of software developers, theoretical computer scientists, mathematicians etc. would be significantly more impactful than this.
I want to see AI moving the state of the art of the world understanding - physics, mathematics etc. - the way it moved state of the art of the Go game understanding.
> probably the atomic cooperation is even more important
That's why I don't understand why Budapest Memorandum signatories allow Russia for breaking the security guarantees.
Ukraine gave up fully the third biggest nuclear arsenal for security guarantees from Russia, USA, France and UK.
To me it seems pretty clear that if Ukraine falls then nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation is dead. And that my country, Poland, should seek to develop nuclear weapons.
The Digital Markets Act is pretty damn well made regulation. Limited only to the very biggest companies, so called gatekeepers, and with wide executive rights given to EU Comission to prevent the act circumvention.
It really opens up a lot of walled gardens. I'm also looking forward to interoperability of chat services.
Pity that AI act is nowhere near as good. And if passed as proposed by EU parliament it will end up killing EU chances at competing on the emerging AI market.
I played the Witcher 3 twice trough leaving a small bit of the second expansion unfinished just because I don't want this game to end.
I lost interest in Cyberpunk quite early. To me Cyberpunk is too American with overdone themes. Although the Cyberpunk anime is great. Simple story, but has really well put together characters and delivers emotional punch. I will have to try to get back to the game. Maybe on second try it will be better.
I like simulation-like open world games, but Witcher 3 was one of the very few games with a good story. To be honest I think the only one that I cared about. Especially the bloody baron questline was amazing storytelling. Heart of Stone was also great story based on Polish ballad Mr. Twardowski.
Cyberpunk is unfortunately nowhere near as good in terms of the story as the Witcher.
This is also well visible in post-communist countries.
During communism there was nothing in the shops, big families were living in small apartment with parents sleeping on beds opening from the wall. There was no disposable diapers. In general people had not much career opportunities.
And then communism collapsed, and as people became richer trough capitalism fertility rates plummeted.
And there was no policies to convince people against having big families.
The basic pattern is the same across the world poor countries have high fertility rates. Rich countries have low fertility rates. And as poor countries become rich their fertility rates go down.
