Hi, I’m from Poland, and I recently read in the US National Security Strategy about Europe’s supposed “civilizational erasure.”
So I’d like to tell you a bit about European civilization.
🇪🇺We have a more modest GDP, yet we still run a trade surplus with the United States, employ 2.5 times more industrial workers, have a higher export share in GDP, and maintain lower income inequality.
🇪🇺We don’t have a heavily privatized healthcare system, yet our life expectancy at birth is about three years higher, and infant mortality is nearly half that of the US.
🇪🇺We don’t have universal and unconditional access to firearms, yet European cities are far safer: we have clearly lower rates of homicide, violent crime, and car theft.
🇪🇺We don’t design our entire spatial order around a single mode of transport; instead, we build transport systems with a strong role for public transit, including rail.
🇪🇺We don’t have tech giants pumping up stock-market valuations, but we do equip ordinary workers with things like paid monthly vacations, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, and contracts that prevent sudden dismissal.
So let’s ask ourselves:
which of these things truly reflects the kind of civilization we want to pursue?
PS
In the photo I’m sitting and waiting for some delicious food, did I mention that Europe is superior in this as well, because we have regulations that limit the use of harmful food additives?
BREAKING: Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all.
They just memorize patterns really well.
Here's what Apple discovered:
(hint: we're not as close to AGI as the hype suggests)
@JDVance She just thinks that we are all stupid. I guess she is using absolut numbers and not percentages relating to comparable groups so she can outsmart the journalist.

@martinmbauer this method involves adjusting certain parameters (like charge or mass) so that calculations reflect real, observable quantities. It's a way to systematically remove the "noise" or infinities in the math, leaving you with clear predictions that match experimental data.
@martinmbauer Imagine you're measuring something, but your measurement tools keep giving absurdly large numbers that don't match reality. Renormalization helps by redefining your starting point or scale, allowing you to eliminate these infinite or overly large values and get sensible, answe
@martinmbauer ChatGpt : Renormalization, in simple terms, is a mathematical "cleanup" method used in physics to handle calculations that initially produce infinite or meaningless results.
