I don't understand how you can ship a car without proper papers out of the country so easily. Maybe focus on that first?

What papers? You think we verify that the contents of every outbound container matches what it says on the manifest? We don't. It would be prohibitively expensive to scan every container. Even if we did, and found a car in a container, how would we know the documents provided aren't valid?

This is a really hard problem. If there's an easy solution in mind, feel free to suggest it.

It's not a hard problem. Shipping companies must know the content of each container by law.

Verify 1 container out of 20. When you catch a stolen car, fine the shipping company for not doing their job. Find employees who performed the forgery of documents and put them in prison. If the company doesn't keep records of which employee prepares which document, fine the company. And so on. Unfortunately police and customs would have to do their job in this case, I can see how they're upset.

So scanning every phone is easier ?

AI and blockchain?

I have no words.

I have no words that you think it is easier to scan every single conversation online, than to enforce proper border/customs checks for freight.

Agentic editing is really nice. If on VSCode, Cline works well with Ollama.

This would be true if not for open-weights (and even some open source) LLMs that exist today. Not everything should be done for profit.

I'm spending fair amount of money on helping teachers and professors in Serbia who had their pay reduced to to absurdity because they are supporting their students in demands for justice in the case of Novi Sad canopy collapse[0].

It's relevant from an engineering perspective. They have a way to develop a new model in months now.

I've stopped using search engines actively 18 months ago. My first stop is an LLM. Once I understand what I actually need, I do a web search to go to the product/tool website. I do this not because LLMs are that good but because web search result quality went way down in the same period.

One interesting trend that I like is that I started using local LLMs way more in the last couple of months. They are good enough that I was able to cancel my personal ChatGPT subscription. Still using ChatGPT on the work machines since the company is paying it.

This happened during 15 minutes of silence for 15 persons that died in the collapse. Everyone was silent and mourning.

That's a blatant lie. We are protesting because 15 people died in Novi Sad because of corruption, 4 months ago. We want justice.

That's exactly what I'm saying. These protests aren't what the OP makes them out to be, completely orthogonal to Russia.

If there's potential military use and you don't build it, you risk your adversary doing that.

If life is only hedonism to you, then sure. It would be a waste.

"Only" is doing a lot of work there. Life is "only" hedonism for billionaires too--it's just that the things they enjoy are all about controlling other people.
