South Korea is just a “global partner” and protections afforded by NATO article 5 do not extend into “global partners”, only to “full members”. So, from a NATO perspective, it would be very convenient to send South Korean troops (or from any other non-NATO country) to reinforce Ukraine and avoid triggering Putin’s claims of direct NATO involvement. In any case, South Korean cooperation would be needed to help handle an eventual influx of North Korean defectors and POWs

Exactly. He would just reapply under the category of “director of a company” or as “individual of extraordinary abilities”.

He would only escape if he was a presidential candidate or a multi billionaire.

Since he is neither and he works on US soil, then the law came after him. You would cave in, if in similar circumstances.

South Korean president has been sitting on the fence for too long and now his neighbors have forced him to take a stance. But worst case scenario would be to have south Korean troops in Ukraine fighting a proxy way just because Korea is not NATO

Fascinating. Keeping homes and people clean is obviously good, but keeping babies/kids super-ultra clean might harm them long-term due to an underdeveloped immune system

Ok, I am officially done with US election news and will apply filters on my app.

The way american law enforcement and the judiciary works there is absolutely idiotic.

Here you have a convicted felon who keeps spewing libellous and damaging lies aimed at destabilizing the political system and the election process and even when rare prosecutors get a judge to hear out the case, the judge cowls and refuses to apply the law just because the guy is a presidential candidate. But then Trump files suit after suit and can bog down the judiciary to the point of actually interfering in the election process and somehow this is allowed in the USA?

On the other hand there is a billionaire (Musk) who does the same, even breaking state law in addition to federal law, and then the judge also refuses to take action - even if some of the offences were squarely under state jurisdiction - presumably because the billionaire is too rich (on the PA case, Musk laywers argued that “Musk is an extremely busy man” and could not show up - if it was a non-billionaire, the judge would definitely issue an arrest warrant to bring the poor soul’s ass back into court).

If America elects Trumps and the world descends into unmitigated chaos, that’s because America’s weak-ass institutions and laws were completely ineffective to those with either money or power. No wonder MAGA and non-MAGA alike resort into extremism, since institutions and laws are applied so differently to people with money.

Now Trump is encouraging killing of his political opponents. And only one state AG did something.

The USA never acknowledged “international law”

It is important to lie here, I think, as pollsters results definitely manipulate outcomes of election strategy

Exactly… People are conflating the ability to parrot an answer based on machine-levels of recall (which is frankly impressive) vs the machine actually understanding something and being able to articulate how the machine itself arrived at a conclusion (which, in programming circles, would be similar to a form of “introspection”). LLM is not there yet

Too late, old geezer… Time to retire

People need to cancel Amazon prime instead

Lidar + AI recognition might result in mapping everything out there. Researchers would have to spend time coming up with a way to rank potential sites for close examination instead of actually excavating things randomly

Are you signing death black Norwegian metal? If so, maybe

Editors are clearly woke

Korean SAT are highly standardized in multiple choice form and there is an immense library of past exams that both test takers and examiners use. I would be more impressed if the LLMs could show also step by step problem work out…

Finally someone speaking with actual sense

CSS theming is absolutely dispensable

But government can take away the means or incentive for self harm. It is just a matter of society agreeing. That will never happen in the USA and Americans are fine. Norway agreed and they are fine.
