I know, and I know my comment is dismissive of the incredible work shown here, as we’re shown sci-fi level tech. But I feel I have this kettle, that boils water in 10min, and it really should boil it in 1, but instead is now voice operated.

The demo is impressive but personally, as a commercial user, for my practical use cases, the only thing I care about is how smart it is, how accurate are its answers and how vast is its knowledge. These haven’t changed much since GPT-4, yet

On the flip side, no amount of dollars can get you the food quality you can have in portugal. In the end it depends on what you value.

What It is also very impressive in TOTK is just how far you can see. Usually in games there's some fog, or you can see the terrain but it's empty of any game element. In TOTK you can see a fire, a light, or some interesting rock e

No offense taken, I don't think you'll have any issue, and the tech market is relatively good

I'm not sure it is more leisurely than other countries, and the winters are hard due to lack of sunlight. OTOH Brussels is very international, english is perfectly fine for work and life. It is also quite a fun city if you like the vib

The lack of top economic opportunities/companies is not strictly a EU problem, it's a everyone except China/US problem. Japanese workers were earning 2x as much as American ones in 1990. Now they're earning less than hal

I just tried it and it's amazingly cool, but the quality of the output just isn't there for me yet. It makes too much subtle errors to be as useful as the screenshots and the gifs makes it look

Belgium, the Antwerp port is the main entry point for drugs in Europe, and there is high demand for drugs in Belgium itself as well. The gangs used to be 'quiet' but there's been a drive-by shooting wave in Brussels recently,

Gang crime seem to be a common weakness of democracies. There's a notable list of countries that had to resort to elect a quasi-dictator to get rid of gangs. As my hometown is coming to grip with a bubbling gang war, I wonder if there

I find it a bit jarring that first reaction from the American public to foreign companies finding success in the USA is think about nationalising them. You see this in this thread, but also with TikTok. It's especially strange given th

The whole church is completely covered in innumerable fractals of catholic symbolism and its main tower will be topped by a 29 meters high cross. Maybe you just don't like the style, which is understandable as it is quite divisive.

I also didn't realise as a western kid that Dragon Ball is set in a Taoist / Buddhist universe. The way the gods, afterlife, etc work in Dragon Ball, the way you can get super powers through training is extremely related to buddhi

I remember at the beginning of the Ukraine war, that the Ukrainians were very hopeful to win it, as the Russian military leadership was taking completely stupid decisions one after another. And they still are doing very stupid things, but t

Regulations are not a problem, it's the lack of a big common market. Expanding from let's say Belgium to Germany is almost as difficult as expanding to the USA. That's why the two countries that have a big tech scenes (US&#x2

I honestly thought it would be way worse. Trains are not as fast or practical for the average trip, so if they're only twice as efficient it's not good for trains, especially since cars efficiency is likely to improve better than

What I find baffling as well is how casually people use 'whiteness' as if it was an intellectually valid concept. What does one expect to receive when asking for a picture of a white women ? A Swedish blonde ? Irish red-head ? A F

But in the couple of months you didn't have your better weather simulation, the rest of the world was working less efficiently because your better data was not available. This might (or might not) offset your simulation efficiency.

Yes, but the small utility is used to save time, and thus energy. If it is not written because it is too expensive / complex to do it in C, then people will continue to waste energy. It is better to have the utility even if it is not p

You cannot just look at the cost and energy expenditure of running the program, you should also look at the development, which is a lot more expensive for C. And more importantly you should look at the opportunity cost of the programs not b

Has anybody actually tried to program as these serverless / microservices articles propose ? Having a collection of lambdas orchestrated by infrastructure as code ? I have and the result has always been a complete nightmare… I’m starti
