They will replace Fidesz with 1990’s Fidesz (Orbán started out as a eurolib)

[Fidesz] was formed in 1988 under the name of Alliance of Young Democrats (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége, with the acronym FIDESZ) as a centre-left liberal activist movement that opposed the ruling Marxist–Leninist government. It was registered as a political party in 1990, with Orbán as its leader. It entered the National Assembly following the 1990 parliamentary election. Following the 1998 election, it successfully formed a centre-right conservative government.

In the case of the UK, there was apparently a recent wave of bourgeois moving to Dubai to “protest the Labour government” and avoid paying taxes, so there’s lots of sentiments along the lines of: “They went out of their way to dodge social responsibilities and now they want to use our tax money to save them”

Chiitan was originally an unofficial mascot for the city of Susaki on Shikoku that has an official mascot who’s also an otter in a similar style. Both are personifications of real otters that live in the city.

At some point Chiitan’s viral stunts led to complaints by residents who deemed them crass and violent, and Chiitan was forced to no longer affiliate with the city in any way.

It’s still a lot of extrapolation but better than before. Researchers studied the energy usage of open-source LLMs, image and video generators. Then, based off this Microsoft paper and interviews with other experts, doubling the GPU’s energy usage roughly accounts for the energy usage of everything else involved. An interesting finding is that stable diffusion image generation is often less energy-intensive than prompting high-parameter LLMs (around five seconds of microwaving).

But there are still so many variables like what kind of model, the amount of parameters, the complexity of a prompt, what data center your prompt goes to and what the energy mix in its area is like… The researchers still make a point to emphasise how opaque companies are about their closed models.

I would not have expected this

They placed just as many sanctions on Russia as the rest of after the direct conflict with Ukraine began, so “Swiss neutrality” was already dead. Latest round in December of last year, in lockstep with

Hard to take the article seriously with that name

From Wikipedia, which cites Business Insider and the BBC:

As of May 2023, OnlyFans [claims] 3 million registered creators and 220 million registered consumers.

They claim to be sure for various reasons but all the article provides is that she often appears next to her dad and has started speaking her mind sometimes.

The first one could simply be because Kim wants to take his daughter around now as a family man. The second one could simply be that she’s old enough now to start engaging with politics. She certainly would be trained for politics at some level.

Some highlights:

In North Korea ( :yeonmi-park: ), where photos published by the state media are believed to carry a great symbolic weight, it is rare for individuals other than Kim Jong Un to be positioned equally prominently in the frame.

Same people that thought Xi having two teacups was a “power play”, just orientalism.

She is often seen wearing her hair long, which is forbidden for her peers, and wearing designer clothes, which are out of reach for most in her country.

Still on about the haircuts? Also where are designer clothes not out of reach for most people, let alone a country that has to deal underhanded because of sanctions?

Many defectors and analysts had previously dismissed the idea of a woman leading North Korea as an unlikely scenario, referring to the country’s entrenched traditional gender roles.

Hell Joseon has had a female president ffs

I’ve played the sequel series Mega Man Star Force instead, but am familiar with common discourse about Battle Network. The short answer is that you’ll love it the more you play.

The netbattling is consistently solid, but the first game is a bit bare-bones on that front. It almost always improves with each new entry. Starting in MMBN2 there are transformations that become more interesting with each sequel. Some overworld sections can be annoying or padded out, particularly in 2. The story is cheesy for the most part, but it has impactful moments too. Heads-up, BN2’s story is, uh, much more off the rails than the rest and weird and insensitive at times. Also don’t try to 100-percent BN4, not worth it. BN3 is most often considered to have the best story.

Also, please check out the Star Force series some day! It has some of the best writing in the franchise and it was woefully underappreciated back in the day because of its altered battle system.

Also Mega Man Zero, a game about joining a robot resistance against a human-supremacist government that’s genociding Reploids to solve a post-apocalypse energy crisis. Zero does fall into being a badass sigma male archetype a la John Wick and that’s probably all they go off of
