What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof. The proof burden is on AI proponents.

Absolut (Swedish) is my go to vodka, as even in Poland it's widely available and good quality. From Polish brands, black Żubrówka, Ostoya and Chopin are good. Normal Żubrówka (the one with grass) is nice as well, but it's not neut

On vodka: Sobieski is not a good brand and "Luksusowa" is fine, but it's made of potatoes. Personally, I strongly prefer vodkas made of wheat, they tend to be smoother and sit better (and the hangover is anegdotically less of

I call bullshit. This is like saying an average person can be the driving hand for legal documents or medical diagnosis. The whole point is that as a specialist you vouch for what has been created. Yes, your time moves away from writing c

You need to block Siri in it and then it works fine again.

This is a very good point. I have very similar thoughts after working with Cursor for a month and reviewing a lot of “vibe” code. I see the value of LLMs, but I also see what they don’t deliver. At the same time, I am fully aware of differe

Dear, past performance does not predict the future one. Israel hasn't done anything to build good will, on the opposite, they are increasingly negatively viewed, at least in Europe. Some wars you lose.

Not challenging, but undoable. All parties capable of it will never do it. My (quite pessimistic) prediction for Israel is that the moment US is busy somewhere else, neighbors will attack en masse.

I think the general move is towards more monochromatic interface and I for one welcome it. It will take a while to adjust, but I think we might end up with much more "peaceful" interface. I'm tired of icons jumping at me.

In no way I want to sound demanding/ungrateful, since Zig is free work, but I am mostly interested in some realistic 1.0 timeline. Zig is pretty much exactly what I would want from low level language, I'm just waiting for it to be

Oh, indeed, since 1.14. Nice to see them moving this direction.

At the same time, the least secret "secret sauce" out there. BBC moved to Elixir (quite recent news), so I guess traction is there.

1. Fair, but at the same time - OTP is the only sane concurrency framework. To the point I still struggle to comprehend why it wasn't copied. 2. Fair. 3. I am not aware of a single language doing OTP abstractions, especially implemen

From the Elixir's developer perspective, this is insane. The issue is solved in Erlang / Elixir by functions commonly returning {:ok, result} or {:error, description_or_struct} tuples. This, together with Elixir's `with` stat

Good software tends to resemble an iceberg - what you see is just a small bit of what's actually in there. I wouldn't be so hasty in assumptions here.

I am currently circulating between Helix (for doing stuff myself) and Cursor (for doing stuff via agents). Helix is awesome! I mostly love how fast it is. The world of JS editors is driving me crazy with lag.

Thank you, will try. Useful bit of knowledge.

I would like to provide a piece of anecdotal evidence: what he suggests actually worked for me best.

What inventive Apple has to have the review process in place (which is costly) if they cannot profit from apps? To be clear, I think that 30% was unreasonable from the start, but 10% would be fine in my book and a fair exchange of value.

Thanks for that comment, as it encouraged me to read a wikipedia article on the subject, which was very interesting. Link for others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_the_other_cheek

Yep, as a sacrifice. Using this as a justification for aggressive war against a christian nation is not only extremely intellectually dishonest, but against the doctrine as well.

by d3ckard 1y ago
I do, according to christian doctrine Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity’s sins. That sacrifice wouldn’t be particularly meaningful if it came with expectation for everybody to follow through. As much as I am not a fan of this (or any ot

Not holding a strong opinion counts as not being happy with him, otherwise you would have a strong positive opinion of him.

Of course I am happily criticising pope from back seat, this thread is literally to discuss him as a public figure. Already said that conservative and liberal are English words not necessarily connected to US political scene. I know plenty

You can’t turn your other cheek when you’re dead, so I am pretty sure he didn’t mean it as allow yourself to get killed. Besides, Ukraine did turn other cheek after 2014 war, they just run out of cheeks to turn. Back to main subject, I beli

Yeah, nothing says Jesus like siding with the aggressor due to your own prejudices.

I think he will be mostly remembered as a terrible politician, first alienating conservatives with progressive policy and then alienating liberals with very questionable opinions on war in Ukraine. In the end, nobody was really happy with h
