Honest question: do you mean it was stolen or it fell out of the plane by accident or something like that?

I checked the reputable newspaper in my country. The only mention of it was on 23/1 where they reported 5000 casualties. EU is going to put together a range of (economic?) sanctions against the regime. US "armada" (quoted from the article) is underway.
It was probably the headline article for a couple of hours on the site. I don't remember extended coverage either so I looked it up.

Why is gwern.net on the front page twice, is this coincidence?

Instead of publishing their papers in the prestigious zines - which is what they're after - we will publish them in "AI Slop Weekly" with name and picture. Up the submission risk a bit.

What if they would only accept handwritten papers? Basically the current system is beyond repair, so may as well go back to receiving 20 decent papers instead of 20k hallucinated ones.

The A1 has a relatively small printing plate. How does it work for boxes that are larger ? You print them in pieces and click / glue them together ?

Social media are detrimental for a young human being under development. A child's brain works in no way the same as our adult brains, so we cannot apply the same caring logic as you would with adults. I see this in the same category as cigarettes, drugs and alcohol.
Until you are old enough and we can assume (or hope) there is mental capacity to properly contextualize life choices and being able take a stance for / against these things, a ban is appropriate.

What kind of business would you like to run that it needs to be established today and cannot wait a few weeks? There are many repercussions, social security and tax wise. Do you expect a government to keep up with a free-for-all form that creates companies ?

In the same way Poetin accelerated the move from his own fossil fuels to renewable energy, Trump is accelerating the move to non-US based technology. At least in my surroundings, "non-US based company" is a big plus in the purchasing process.
