Green hydrogen projects are being implemented with the target of replacing natural gas usage in industry, like in steelworks or kilns. The target is to use excess of solar and wind energy (e.g. in the summer) to make hydrogen out of water and then to burn that instead of natural gas.
Porsche was founded in 1931. The Nazi party was founded in 1920.
Two of the Porsche founders (one was Ferdinand himself and the other his son-in-law) joined the Nazi party after the company was founded. The third founder was a Jew who was later attested for "racial crimes" but saved by a colleague bribing the Gestapo and was able to flee Germany.
Does this mean the company was founded by Nazis? Probably not, because many prominent businessmen were basically given the choice of joining the party or having their business confiscated. Could Ferdinand have shown some backbone and not joined? For sure yes.

Software the come with their own implementation of course don't depend on the OS. Like every Java application.
So when AC said "which the computer does not understand" we all have to settle for your cherry-picked definition of "understand"? Why not ask him what he meant by "understand" instead of deciding the most convenient option for you?
I mean I can say that is not how definitions work because I've picked definition to mean "the formal proclamation of a Roman Catholic dogma" and then call you a dipshit if you try to object.
(see https://www.merriam-webster.co...)
which the computer does not understand
understand (v):
interpret or view (something) in a particular way.
I'd love to see your proof that an LLM doesn't "understand" something.
You didn't just cherry pick one of the definitions Google's AI spits out did you? Here is what it told me:
1. perceive the intended meaning of (words, a language, or a speaker).
2. interpret or view (something) in a particular way.
3. be sympathetically or knowledgeably aware of the character or nature of.
Besides an LLM really does not understand anything, because it doesn't generate its own answer as a whole:
Once trained, large language models work by responding to prompts by tokenizing the prompt, converting it into embeddings, and using its transformer to generate text one token at a time, calculating the probabilities for all potential next tokens, and outputting the most likely one. This process, called inference, is repeated until the output is complete. The model does not “know” the final answer in advance; it uses all the statistical relationships it learned in training to predict one token at a time, making its best guess at every step.

Well usable fusion being just 20-30 years away did happen and is still happening. I guess at some point they will even be right!

I think it’s probably now about 15 to 20 years [away],” says University of Cambridge nuclear engineer Tony Roulstone, who wasn’t involved in the Wendelstein experiments. “The superconducting magnets [that the researchers are using to contain the plasma] are making the difference.
It's easy to conclude from your own source that this is not the same as the USSR nationalising private businesses and farms - not just some of them but all of them, in order to implement state socialism. Points from the article that indicate that they are not implementing state socialism like the USSR. The current Putin regime is fascist, not socialist.
NSP documented 102 cases of asset seizure from private owners since the invasion in February 2022, spanning a broad range of industries but are concentrated in strategic sectors seen as vital to sustaining Russia’s war effort.
Strategic industries. Check.
Reselling these nationalized businesses both brings in revenue and “reshapes the business elite so their fate is tied to the regime’s survival."
Reselling instead of keeping these as state-owned. Check.
Replacing private owners with managerial experience “with those who owe their success to the state will inevitably reduce overall economic efficiency,” Yakovlev said.
Putting them under management of more loyal owners. Check.
Mass nationalization of private property? Check.
This just has not happened, instead we have fascist style hostile takeovers of businesses by oligarchs and other people from Putin's inner circle. Private businesses are still allowed to exist and operate as long as they toe the party line. This is much more similar to Nazi Germany or fascist Italy.
Nationalisation of some strategic industry during wartime is not uncommon, see the Selective Service Act of 1940 in the US, with which certain factories and shipyards were nationalised to ensure production capacity for ships and weapons needed for the war.
An all-powerful president self-appointed for life? Check.
It's not a Check because in the USSR the general secretary was appointed by the party, not self-appointed, and could also be ousted by the party (see Khrushchev). The USSR looked a lot like China still does today in this regard. In Russia, the party is subservient to Putin, not the other way around.
So does Iran and so did the USSR. Or at least they had elections. The problem is that allowing the people to choose between a carefully curated list of party suits isn't the same as democracy, at best it shifts the focus to different points of the party program.
Funnily enough that whole snippet has the AI smell about it.
It's not just about Em dashes, it's about the tedious overuse of certain rhetorical devices. Like this one.
Spotify always had fixed monthy subscription costs, so paying out a fixed/semifixed sum per stream was never an option.
Probably some hilariously misguided attempt at damping vibrations. Or cosmic radiation or something. It's not full of copper, that's for sure as the weight would do a proper number on the connections (there are matching RCA cables just hanging in the air.
So why did you compare the EU to Canada earlier then? No-one else brought Canada into the thread. If the UK is a small country, then every country in the EU is small and the size comparison to Canada becomes irrelevant.
My stomach doesn't like me eating large amounts of wheat bread, whereas other grains aren't nearly as bad. I'm quite sure this has nothing to do with gluten, but I guess eating gluten free bread would help because it's not wheat. I can imagine that most self-diagnosed cases of "gluten sensitiveness" is really something else, like low level IBS, or lack of fibers or something similar.
