  • Belgian here. We have not fallen to fascism. I would not call NVA extreme right, just right. That would be Vlaams Belang, who also got a lot of votes to be fair but they’re not part of the government coalition because none of the other parties want to work with those nutcases. There is a coalition of parties. Because we have a healthy number of parties to vote for, no single party ever gets the majority vote. Five parties just signed a coalition agreement. That’s why Belgium has the record for being the longest without a government. It takes a long time for these parties to come to an agreement but it also means more balanced policies. Things change slowly in Belgian government, we don’t get big swings from left to right. But that doesn’t make for good headlines.






  • Training data for these models used to be text off of the internet and some manually generated Q&A examples to make it behave more like a chat bot (instruction tuning). Because there is still a need for more data they have started adding AI generated text to the dataset. This technique doesn’t add new knowledge but it has shown to reduce hallucinations. Likely because this data is more focussed, truthful and structured than the median text from the existing datasets. They would probably have data from every major chat provider in there, especially the big boys.




  • The size of the updates and also the size of the game itself might be due to how it is packaged. You want data that belongs together and is accessed together to be stored together. For example, the game might have one file per level that is loaded and kept in memory when you enter that level. You might even store the same asset multiple times if that means it’s easier to access sequentially. This optimization is less necessary in the are of ssds but you don’t want your game to be completely unplayable on people that still run it from a hard drive.
