  • Depends on the country though. In France you must be registered to vote (you’re assigned a specific voting office). It’s a single registration foe everything, not for each vote

    Although the process is online, and takes like 5mins.

    You also get a voting card, but it’s technically optional, it just speeds up the process in the voting office.










  • Yeah but people don’t buy cars that often, and when they do it’s usually a used car. So you might need to wait a few more years to see that change in dynamic towards automatic (especially with electric).

    I’m French and I’ve been driving for almost 14 years, and I’ve never used an automatic car, and my current car isn’t that old. So yeah it won’t be tha majority until a few years




  • Oh yeah I’m not arguing with you on that. AI has become synonymous with LLM, and doing the most generic models possible, which means syphoning (well stealing actually) stupid amounts of data, and wasting a quantity of energy second only to cryptocurrencies.

    Simpler models that are specialized in one domain instead do not cost as much, and are more reliable. Hell, spam filters have been partially based on some ML for years.

    But all of that is irrelevant at the moment, because IA/ML is not one possible solution among other solutions that are not based on ML. Currently they are something that must be pushed as much as possible because it’s a bubble that gets investors, and I’m so waiting forward for it to burst.
