The lead that the Romanian populist candidate has isn’t small, but he keeps making stupid mistakes, as you would expect from someone with the personality fit for an autocrat.

These mistakes, and the work done by good-natured people, are what will change the tide.

Not so sure about tragic. Definitely laughable since priests are quite well endowed for their services...

And he's only the frontrunner in some polls. On prediction markets, he's never had more than 30%

In what arc of the LLM wars are we currently in?

It's quite thrilling to see vendors responding to each other's releases within the timespan of 24h, like how Google recently pushed out Flash 2.5 after Open AI's announcement of o3 and o4.

A step toward making OpenAI's app the default, if only for convenience.

That being said, privacy seems an even more important topic in the LLM age.

Will competitors respond in kind? Will they try to differentiate?

Yeah, won't argue there

Throughout my career I have used DSLs for a variety of tasks, and they have consistently proved their usefulness. Recently, I have applied them to the problem of search in the context of a local-first web app.
