I started my career working on a large legacy project. It was the best learning experience, and super interesting. It certainly did not make me hate legacy projects. Work was like an investigation into who did this weird thing and when and

Not a lawyer. When I attended a conference about this I remember the distinction between "Provider" and "Deployer" being discussed. Providers are manufacturers developing a tool, deployers are professional users making a

Regulation of harmful use cases of new technologies is very justified, as is understanding it. In the same city we've had plenty of conferences and lectures on AI innovations - some of those talks taking place during the AI Act confere

I attended a conference on the AI Act recently and it gave me the impression that they are actively finding a good balance between regulation and encouragement of AI development. Regulation is intended to be strongest in a quite narrow set

I have no doubt programming jobs exist out there that require a degree, but the vast majority do not - nor do they even seem to prefer it. I think calling them a necessity in this field is a really big stretch.

I'm not really a car person but finding Teslas looking quite dated compared to other options, especially Polestar, in the roads these days. At one point you saw a Tesla and it had some kind of 'cool' factor by both reputation

If you're living abroad and visiting you'd probably already have a debit card, no need to open a new one for a visit. This is only relevant for Swish because it's not something someone living outside of Sweden would likely al

Oh that might do! I'll try it, thank you.

I've been using YT Music for years and have all my playlists there, but am now considering switching to Spotify because _everyone_ I know sends me Spotify links. I then also feel bad sharing YT Music links when their entire ecosystem (

I've been semi-self-hosting on S3 for years. Pipeline is a private GitLab repo -> GitLab CI -> S3 bucket. Works well, though I've started hitting artifact size limits lately that I need to manage...

I don't really "find" them, they just kind of come. Whatever I am sufficiently curious about becomes a project idea - and I'm curious about _a lot of things_. Same thing with science fiction story ideas!

And I know an American who spent years trying to get through a degree program that he never ended up completing because he was too burned out having to work multiple jobs to live at the same time. Just like I know plenty of Swedes who have

The project's website[0] addresses your question and explains which species they focus on, and why. I suggest reading it if you are genuinely curious. [0] https://www.nonhumanrights.org/about-us/

Maybe the effect is different when prescribed for something other than depression, but I did not find my SSRI to suppress my emotions. It simply helps me curb rumination and negative thought spirals. Helps to feel "lighter" and si

Just a few weeks ago I had the sudden urge to blow up my life a little. I started by eating a chicken sandwich for the first time in 15-ish years. It was unsatisfying, and it was not enough. Then I decided to move out of the suburbs of a ma

Hey! Author here. Do you mean whether the cycle changes the original test requirements for the _evaluation test_, or for the test our agent is running for the customer's application? If you are asking about the requirements for the eva

If you do want to open source it someday I'd be happy to help clean up the code in my spare time. I'm actively learning Swedish and would selfishly love something like this :D

This looks so great! Do you have any plans to expand to other languages? I'd love something like this for Swedish.

I was replying to a comment I disagree with as part of this discussion thread, explaining why I don't think it is entirely reflective of reality. I suggest reading that comment for the context.

I'm sure this is true for some (maybe even many) readers, but this simply is not reflective of the larger genre fiction market today. Most genre fiction authors, even those making a great living, are not writing the next Travis McGee -

Genre fiction readers usually do not want something that obviously comes from another time. They want something that is just unique enough to catch the eye, but largely similar to whatever cover trends are currently popular.

I only skimmed this, have not yet read in great detail, but it made me think about backlists in indie publishing. This is a thing for self-published authors as well, only we tend to take a more optimistic view on the backlist: a large backl

This reminded me of "When the Yogurt Took Over" by John Scalzi[0]. It's story about just letting superintelligent yogurt tell us what to do and solve all of our problems. The story is purposefully silly, but to be honest, in
