Agreed, they also have great documentation. There's something to be said for documentation that is so concise, well laid out, and immediately actionable for those looking to get started quickly.
DMA/DSA are all about fair competition, not necessarily about user freedom. They tackle the inability to compete with the App Store, not the inability to manage your own apps.
They have left leaning biases, RTVE is basically a propaganda channel for the PSOE at this point and France Info/France2 have center-left biases which makes them not neutral and representing the corpus of society.
They are all well-funded though.
France info is really right wing in my opinion, probably the most liberal (economically) public radio station in France. Even calling them center right doesn't do them justice. Maybe borrowing from historians and calling them 'extreme center' is the best to position them on a political spectrum.
France Inter used to be left wing. A plurality of interviewed people were random workers (un temps de pochon, la-bas si j'y suis). Since at least 2019, but truthfully, since 2015, you have no left wing voices there.
Excited to use 1 prompt and have my whole 5-hour window at 100%. They can keep releasing new ones but if they don't solve their whole token shrinkage and gaslighting it is not gonna be interesting to se.
It seems a lot of the problem isn't "token shrinkage" (reducing plan limits), but rather changes they made to prompt caching - things that used to be cached for 1 hour now only being cached for 5 min.
Coding agents rely on prompt caching to avoid burning through tokens - they go to lengths to try to keep context/prompt prefixes constant (arranging non-changing stuff like tool definitions and file content first, variable stuff like new instructions following that) so that prompt caching gets used.
This change to a new tokenizer that generates up to 35% more tokens for the same text input is wild - going to really increase token usage for large text inputs like code.
AFAIK the way caching works is at API key level, which will be shared across the main/parent agent and all subagents.
Note that the model API is stateless - there is no connection being held open for the lifetime of any agent/subagent, so the model has no idea how long any client-side entity is running for. All the model sees over time is a bunch of requests (coming from mixture of parent and subagents) all using the same API key, and therefore eligible to use any of the cached prompt prefixes being maintained for that API key.
Things like subagent tool registration are going to remain the same across all invocations of the subagent, so those would come from cache as long as the cache TTL is long enough.
on Tuesday, with 4.6, I waited for my 5 hour window to reset, asked it to resume, and it burned up all my tokens for the next 5 hour window and ran for less than 10 seconds. I’ve never cancelled a subscription so fast.
I tried the Claude Extension for VSCode on WSL for a reverse engineering task, it consumed all of my tokens, broke and didn't even save the conversatioon
The US military does not do combat, look at real engaged armies like the Ukranian/Russian one which are the closest examples to modern warfare between nation states.
I agree, I meant that armies engaged in conflicts are male like all armies have been in history, save the Soviets who had female battalions for propaganda purposes
> Men and women are essentially different in real biological ways, as well as emotional and socialization.
I fully agree, now, larger society doesn't and if all of my schooling is proof of it, feminism is the dominant discourse in Western Europe. So we can'be having women be fully equal in all spheres of society when it benefits women, but then remove them from every obligation those rights come with.
The full consequence of your ideas is that men and women are different people meaning it affects every sphere of life, and leads you to ask some unsavory questions, which doesn't mean curtailing women's rights necessarily but it does mean that the the way we model society and genders is opposite to reality, because when reality, like war, asks hard questions we default to the old order of men in the front and women in the factories.
Basically this, far right has been overused as a term which led to it becoming useless, it is just the same right of 20-30 years ago, and even that is incorrect given the RN is not against abortion, homosexual marriage or many other points the right defended in the past
And the modern descendant of the SFIO party which is the Socialist Party were literal Nazi collaborators under Pétain, one can hold nuance and judge the party by its current constitution both in terms of people and policies.
Also small detail, the original founder (Le Pen) of the FN/RN turned against his daughter in his latter years because she betrayed the line of Le Pen father.
The true hardcore far right is incarnated in Reconquete and the Zemmour/Knafo/Marechal axis.
I mean yeah, the "far right" is just a reaction to the migration policy, globalization effects and the suicidal EU energy policy which send shockwaves in its industry and larger economy. Denmark shows that if a normal, even social democrat party tackles the second order effects of immigration the population will not turn to the extreme parties.
This explains the fact that aside from the slopulist and bombastic subjects, they don't have any real plan or serious depth in their policy proposals.
If the traditional parties fixed those issues, and most notably the migration policies, the ECHR extensive read of asylum/immigration rights the whole momentum behind them would disappear. I think Bardella will unironically continue Macron I's economic reforms of liberalizing the market and removing the extreme social protections which in times of abundance are ok, but in times of recession seem to enhance the unemployment and productivity issues even more.
The entire EU is dying out slowly from low birth rates. Our only hope is replenishing our population through immigration and anyone that argues against that is arguing against the survival of Europe.
That doesn’t work though, over 1 generation the TFR and family completedness of 2ng generation immigrants coverges to 80-90% of the native one and over 2 it seems to be on par or lower.
This is without all the social issues of putting them in ghettos and pulling up the ladders to their kids to integrate in society.
It works like debt, in the sense that you are taking a band-aid solution and kicking the can 15 years but they have been doing it since the 1980s so the can is here now.
Ok and people are blank pages without cultures or tendencies, which means we can just graft them without issues?
There is also a dilution process by which you assimilate or adapt a population and if the % of new people is too high the culture that produced those societies basically disappears.
You need integration initiatives and strong enforcement. Integration is a two-party process, if either side doesn't take it seriously, it won't happen. We should be generous in giving out chances, but strict in taking them away from people that prove they're not making use of them.
The last argument is empirically incorrect. Think of Vienna for example, most of the population there has roots from all over the Austrian Empire. Yet, it's distinctly Austrian.
It's not a given, it takes effort. But it can be done.
But that's not the survival of Europe. That's erasing Europe for the sake of an ever increasing labour and consumers pool (which seems to be the only thing that matters in this brave new world).
Population cannot grow forever, and for the sake of the planet it may even good if it dropped. So this is something that we'll have to face at one point and the argument that there is not choice but mass immigration is a fallacy pushed to silence dissenting opinions (along with labelling dissenters racist and far-right).
Europe is a place with people in it, who have a particular culture. (Or set of cultures, which in global terms are rather similar to each other.)
When you come right down to it, we don't care about Europe because of the scenery. We don't even care about it because it's economically powerful. We care about it because that culture has given more freedom to more people than any other.
Yes, sure. But the culture is intrinsic to the place, not the ethnic makeup of its people. That's why we built institutions like the EU to codify and preserve it.
It is indeed a shame that niquests isn't used more, I think trying to use the (c'est Français) argument to in French will bring you many initial users needed for the inertia
