And they are the only ones that can draft new legislation.
Wrong. The parliament can draft a legislation ... basically everyone can. The parliament has to decide in the end.

A power normally reserved for elected members of the government, members of a legislature.
Wrong. In basically every country the prime ideas "as in drafting a law" come from the leader or the ministers. Which forward it to the parliament to vote about it. Obviously any party big enough, can propose laws to the parliament as well.

In contrast, the secretaries in the executive branch of the US government are implementing the laws defined by the constitution, or created and passed by the legislature, or implemented directives from the executive.
So it is the exact same thing as in any other country, only the "institutions" have a different name.

Wow, that was so easy.

Do you really think a commissioner can instigate a law that is against the constitution and make the parliament vote for it (which would not have a point, as it is against the constitution) and in the end that law would not be challenged?

What exactly is the difference between a Commissioner and a Secretary? Hm ? I think you fail to answer that without a google search.

For all that is relevant: there is none.

Java works on all platforms in general: the same.
So does: Python, C# and what ever.

There is no damn need to upgrade or change anything if for some braindead reason someone decides to change the Linux distro.

That is the farking point of: "Write once, run anywhere",

So we agree, that upgrading to a higher Java version - for no reason - does not make any sense, or not?

By getting suspicious and doing a gene analysis on the food.

I did the same with google Gemini a few days ago: it told me it can not store anything about the session.

But I am in Europe.

Well, I do not get your point.

And it seems you do not get mine.

I guess we both had no point?

My point is: the ingredients label shows what is inside. It is plain obvious if it is vegan or not. An extra label: "Vegan" is not really required.

It is just an eye catcher. And as mentioned before: there are whole shelves that only contain vegan food ... another "eye catcher".

I guess I misunderstood the original point.

As in what a user would ask and what the answer is.

You are right, for answers like that the LLM would be trained on the review data.

A RAG will get its result from google searches and analyzing the pages the result point to ... actually there are special search APIs "to search the internet".

RAG basically only means: "find me the cheapest flight from LA to BKK", and figure how to get the data for the cheapest flight for the situation right now.

How to find a cheap flight is in the LLM, where to search is configuration, the data coming in is free form, and the LLM "knows" how to interpret the data and how to "present" it.

Yes, I guess you need a local client for that. I do not know if it would work via a web site.
Point is, the LLM does not "learn", but the hoster might store your interaction and use it to train the next generation.

The EU Commission does not create new laws either. /FACEPLAM
They propose laws (rarely) to the parliament. And the parliament votes on the laws, after plenty of discussion and refinement. (Usually they propose ideas about laws, and the parliament sets them up).

Are you really so farking stupid that you do not grasp the EU works exactly the same?

Perhaps the pegging to the dollar is not fixed?
Thanx for the info.

It is the law in most countries that you can not operate a drone without proving you have the skills: aka having a license. /FACEPLAM

The summary of the /. post is wrong. If you read both articles: Chinese companies did never sell at a loss.
The second article hypothetically considers that certain car models where sold at a loss, but in total the company still made about 4% profit.

Profits of Chinese companies never dropped significantly below 4%.

It is a like a super market having cheap eggs in one corner a slightly more expensive milk in the other.

At the end of the year it makes no sense if a super market intentionally makes a loss.

The Yuan is bound to the dollar, since decades.

So there is no sense to call it undervalued or overvalued, it has the same value as a dollar.

The future prospects are wonderful. Because: they gain experience. Experience is valued higher than young age in Asia.
And they are paid beyond lower education levels.

China is going to win some of the industrial war but lose themselves.
They wont, because a Chinese proverb is: learn from the mistakes of your enemy. They actually do not consider you an enemy, they consider you a rebellious child.

Perhaps you should visit China ones ... stupid American morons. Oh, I forgot ... you need a visa. Well, just a result of your retarded foreign politics.

The only one who does not understand physics, is you with your stupid signature.

No idea what the ROI part of the British islands is. Did you typo something?

The British islands are not part of the EU - look on a map. Ireland is member of the EU. And: that is not even a full island.

The British Isles is NOT the UK.
That is a silly statement. Because they are. Plus: north Ireland.
No idea what is wrong with your brain. Oh, obviously there are a few islands, which are part of the UK, but are not considered "British Isles" ...

No idea what you again have to nitpick about.

British Isles - that is a term with a meaning: it is a nickname for the UK, stupid idiot.

Just like they call us "the continent", we call them "the British Isles".

No one can be so stupid not to know that. What about Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney? Are they part of the British Isles? Yes or no? Can you even answer that with out googel? Are they part of the UK?

Wow, tricky question, right? Can you answer that without googel?

See: neither can I. Because it is farking completely unimportant for the discussion.

But thanks for jumping in and claiming I have no clue about points in Geography: which I actually have visited by sailing boat and had to navigate there, by hand, under tides.

So, if you want a half arsed answer: no the Channel Islands are not part of the UK - oops. But its inhabitants are UK citizens, oops.

The islands are property of the crown - hence: King Charles III owns them.

Talking about the "UK" and the "British islands" or "British isles" is: complicated.

Oh, and just to make it clear: no the channel islands are not part of the British Islands - oops.

I suggest to get a clue about physics first, and geography later, as physics might kill you, geography lenient.

Have a nice day.
