Depends on the EU country. In mine they'd have to show they're doing a reorg, but that's a low bar. Employees who get canned have the right to outplacement services, etc. Older employees can sometimes get pre-pension status where the company pays until they retire.

They'd have to make an agreement with the unions too, who are the ones negotiating the above.

Correct, which means they're entirely deterministic: the random generators are entirely deterministic too.

Researchers and trainers actually use this as a feature: by reusing the same seed to the PRNG every time they can test the models predictably.

This.

OP made an hominem attack without (as AC said) giving an example.

It doesn't work that way. You need baseline power, pure and simple. It's either coal/oil/gas, or it's nuclear. Nothing else works, and nuclear is the best out of these options.

I wanted to say here that you could give Wine a try, until I looked up Turbotax on Wine and got this:

It says it's garbage. Ouch.

It's not as if wintertime didn't exist before we had solar; nuclear plants always had to vary their output according to the seasons. People will also be using electricity for heating much more as gas is phased out, you can't even get new gas connections anymore in Belgium, and new gas heaters and diesel oil heaters are against the law now.

This is the same judge who ruled over Trump's case. This new case just goes to show how "evil" Kaplan is, and therefor Bankman-Fried needs a pardon, as Kaplan himself points out. Fun times.

It's because of vehicles that have their lights setup for driving in countries where people drive on the right hand side of the road.

I'm with you brother, whitespace is overrated!

I also went to take a look at his history. His posts were very sporadic but not too bad until the time of the Covid lockdowns (2020):

... and progress downwards from there. Pretty scary progression.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Perhaps this a nice use case for Elon Musk's "Datacenters in spaaaaace"!

Over the years I have visited the US from Europe over 40 times for work.

The questions I get at the border really make me feel uncomfortable, both in tone and in coverage. You really feel like a second class person when you see how differently US citizens and non-citizens are treated.

None of this is new, it's just become more and more confrontational. Part of the problem is (again) the fact that the US constitution is not fit-for-purpose and bestows no rights whatsoever at the border.

If you want people to feel safe coming to the US, then fix your laws. If not, then there are plenty of countries that make foreigners feel welcome. Why would the Ig Nobels need to be held in the US anyway?
