About 230 children got treated in Germany against toroid cancer. That was a google result, I think it is wrong and is close to 20k - but not sure, it is to long ago. Another search talks about ~1000 kids that where treated in Germany.

20k where treated in Cuba:
Alternative International Programs:
Other countries took on massive, centralized state-sponsored roles for oncology care. For instance, Cuba ran a highly organized state program that treated over 20,000 children affected by the disasterâ"many for cancer and leukemiaâ"at the Tararà medical complex.

Here is an AI overview about Germany:

The Broader "Health Vacation" Numbers If you are looking for a total "guess" regarding all children brought from the Chernobyl zone to Germany for any form of healthcare, the number scales into the hundreds of thousands. Following the 1986 disaster, over 100 different German regional charities, churches, and civic initiatives organized Tschernobyl-Kinder (Chernobyl Children) relief waves. For over 25 years, they brought thousands of children to Germany annually for 3-to-4-week "respite holidays" to eat uncontaminated food, breathe clean air, and boost their radiation-compromised immune systems. The German government funded these emergency medical programs in the 1990s.

The extract above is about ALL kids that came to Germany on "treatment vacation" and not the amount of cancer cases.

No idea why so many morons on /. want to downplay the disaster ... the death toll is horrendous: https://www.bbc.com/future/art...

Even when talking about about destruction of environment and infrastructure the tsunami itself was way worse than Fukushima.
In terms of death, yes.
In terms of money, nope.

Cleaning up the mess, costs trillions of dollars Dollars, not Yen. The current estimate is 500 trillion Dollars, yes 500 trillion, not 500 billion, Dollars, not Yen.

Educate yourself. I can exemplify about France.
You should pack your own nose: Educate yourself.

Nuclear waste is a very small amount. "As of the most recent inventory, France had roughly 1,850 cubic meters of vitrified high-level waste in storage, a volume that would fit inside a modest single-story house."

This is utterly wrong. The amount is 1.760 million cubic meters.

The storage in Bure can only hold only 83,000 cubic meters.

France currently holds approximately 1.76 million cubic meters of radioactive waste. This official data comes from the national radioactive waste management agency, Andra (Agence nationale pour la gestion des déchets radioactifs). https://www.andra.fr/ France accounts for about 25% of all nuclear waste in the European Union, making it the largest producer in Europe.

Regardless from where you got the number, it should have been a no brainer that it is ridiculous low and can not be right.

Being of by a factor of a million ... wow ... that is huge, but probably common in modern times.

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.

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.

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?
