How will they be able to review AI generated code The same way most of us review our compiler generated code today (ie not at all). If it works it works, if doesn't we fix the higher level input and try again. I won't be surpri

I cannot talk about the secret entrance For what it's worth, that's the entrance Google maps brought me to when I asked for walking directions to the Louvre when I was in Paris last.

contempt for the craft of writing an essay I did not mean to disparage the craft of writing, by being imprecise with my own writing. My base assumption was that it should be easy, but if it is this easy, why is everybody freaking out?

The question is can a really good student who knows and understands the topic at hand write a better essay with the help of AI, than I student that doesn't know the material and is just relying on AI? I can easily tell code written by

the further you go from Western Europe, the worse the public transit gets. It's not really an East-West thing. Downtown Sofia for example has much better public transportation than many 'secondary' and rural towns in German

Chickens raised in a small-scale chicken coop environment tend to taste much better than those raised in factory conditions. Sure, but chickens raised in a small-scale $20k coop probably don't taste better than the same chickens rais

the more popular a place is the less inclined I am to visit it While I don't disagree with you per se, it is also worth remembering that most super popular places are super popular for a reason, and there often is a good reason to se

I can second visiting Paris in February. Instead of 40+ degrees and massive hoards of tourists. You'll have 10 degrees, rain, and merely large hoards of tourists.

I was there a few month ago. The Louvre is huge and most people are in a few rooms in and around the Mona Lisa (and even that wasn't anywhere near as bad as the horror stories I'd heard). The top floor for example with Northern Eu

People like cars that can go 80-90 mph for hundreds and hundreds of miles while carrying 4 people. With crash protection. My 12 year old entry level sedan does all of that no problem.

Comparing what you necessity with a discretionary expense isn’t fair. A car might be necessity, but spending more than say $15-20k max on a (second hand) car is a discretionary expenses for the vast majority of people doing so.

Driving a car until the wheels fall off generally doesn't make financial sense. Keeping an old car on the road gets really expensive unless you have the space, time and skills to do all the work yourself. Then there is the opportunity

Docker solves a different problem. Docker is a way to basically ship your whole OS off to another machine. You still have to have a way to install the right version of python and all the python libraries you need inside the Docker container

The parts of uv that follow standards aren't the parts that people are excited about. I disagree. Had uv not followed these standards and instead gone off and done their completely own thing, it could not function as a drop in replac

Yea, it didn't mean that UBI could replace all of social security for everybody. Social security is (greatly simplified) made up of a guaranteed minimum payment + a payment you've 'earned' by working. UBI would replace (
