You mean in recent history? Because Finns were nazi allies during WWII and participated in Siege of Leningrad starving hundreds of thousands to death. They also organized network of concentration camps during the war.

AI companies business model depends on wide adoption. How will they survive if government closes access to their models?

Don't understand why you have been downvoted. Russian government have already attempted to push forward their root certificate for banking using Yandex browser, now this.

So blog with single post hyping LLMs. Oh and the domain name "human-in-the-loop". Call me suspicious.

I addressed you phrase about Russians seen Ukrainians as an inferior ethnic group and "proving" this by "they call them "little Russians", please don't shift topics. This is BS. There is no such phrase "little Russians" in Russian language.

Ethnic slurs exists of course. In any language. And "kholkhols" is one of them. As well as word "moskal'" in Ukranian. Do you know what it means? And ethnic slurs are not used in official language, you know. I mean Russian official language.

>So not because Russians are in their land trying to kill as many Ukrainians as >possible, terrorizing them, and destroying their culture? It's all because of >propaganda? Yes, just because of propaganda targeted at low educated people. I mean you can hate Russia for starting the war and turn a blind eye to Ukrainians killing Donbass people but hating historical word referring to some lands that now are part of Ukraine? Just because it has "мало" in it? You need combination of propaganda and low intelligence here.

P.S. Not going to continue. This all conversation is just waist of my time.

So "The Russian regime (and apparently a lot of Russians) deem Ukrainians as an inferior ethnic group - they call them "little Russians"." it is? And this follows from the link? Have you read it? Really?

The term Малороссия now days is outdated indeed, as wiki says. This term was first introduced not even by Russia but by Byzantine Church and word "мало" ("little" as you "translate" here) means "original" "primordial" to distinct two church branches and then where used to denote parts of Rus' under Polish rule.

Note, the linked article does not say that Russians use this term to denote someone inferior. It says that some Ukrainians consider this word offensive which is not surprising taking into account active propaganda and lack of historical education in masses.

Please stop spreading this BS. Малороссия ("little" Russia as you say) does not mean what you say.

I have seen a DSP processor that could address only 16-bit words. And C compiler did not fix it, bytes had 16 bits there.

Russian authorities blocked some zlib domains in the past, so "ru" may be not suitable.

Several reasons. It started during COVID times when it was not clear if we are facing new economic crisis. So wealthy people used real estate to protect their savings. Then the government decided to support construction companies by subsidising mortgage for young families and as a result stimulating demand. And now again uncertainty of current situation stimulate people invest their savings in something safe. On the other hand sellers were afraid that ruble will fail significantly and raised prices so high that sells almost stopped. Right now prices to real estate are going down a bit.

Hard to tell, prices raised unevenly. Real estate have become very expensive. As for day-to-day spendings my unscientific gut feeling tells me that I spend somewhere 25% more. Official figures of inflation something like 12-15%.

Worse. Food have become more expensive although prices rise slowed down. Many clothing brands have left and replaced with brands from Turkey etc. But we are not starving, have gas, electricity.

Don't know why you are downvoted. People can use pirated software at home perhaps and authorities here do not break into you flat to check if you use pirated Photoshop copy but organizations use officially bought licenses, I do not remember when was last time I saw something pirated in companies.

Also can confirm, the initiative to allow pirated software was rejected for now.

Things are different for movies and book though.
