Because there is a big anti-AI movement and some people will think you're destroying the planet and putting people out of a job if you make one prompt to a chatbot.

The biggest problem that I have with most AI posters is that they are too busy, you have to look for information instead of seeing it popping right away. Amateurs posters of before AI didn't have this problem. White background, the imp

In France many divorces are uncontested, but you're still require to use a lawyer (the same for both spouses). On the other hand most couples with kids are not married, so the separation doesn't require a lawyer...

I'm always worried about the "Midas effect" with something like that. Having to be careful not to trigger actions you don't want to.

The same goes with most "human" discovery: they happen because existing knowledge have reach a point where that specific discovery is just one more stone to the edifice. That's why in research, it's common for separate t

I keep reading about AI killing all humans but I have yet to see a practical scenario where that happens. Somehow everyone is scared of that but nobody can explain exactly how that would happen?

It's easier to generate a static site using a WP hidden behind a VPN than building a mini cms on top of a static site.

I still have to read a compelling argument on how AI will "extinct" humanity.

I'm sure you can tell the difference. But for the vast majority of usage GLM 5.3 or Deepseek V4 is enough. Even people who do need frontier model will soon restrict it to the use cases that really need it and switch to cheaper models f

US software companies (Google, Meta, MS, etc) have offices in Paris and they pay way more than that. Especially if you take into account total comp (Mistral is private so any stocks you get are "locked" until IPO or sell out) Yes

I don't need to be able to swap a spare battery like we did 15 years ago. However when your battery is old, and drains fast, it's really nice to be able to order a new one and easily change it by removing 4 screws. Not having to p

It depends who you are. If you're Edward Snowden, or even a high ranking politician, it's a sane precaution. If you're just a rando like me yes, it's paranoia.

Yes, they promised ads would be separated from the answer and clearly labelled as such. Just like when Google promised ads would be separated from the organic results and clearly labelled as such... Until they put them at the front of the r

Except nobody uses the .us tld, but pretty much every every Japanese company is on a .co.jp

Street bumps are no longer allowed in France. Existing ones can stay, but cities can't create new ones. Instead they create bottlenecks and turns to force cars to slow down.

To be fair Java was created in a world where you'd run hundreds on services on a single server, run them in application server with a persistent JVM running. Now with containers, running Java apps in containers isn't great because
