Using the word “Mentoring” is anthropomorphic and subconsciously makes you think it will learn. It does not, and it is for the human brain a formidable task to remember that something as smart as an LLM does not learn. I keep catching mysel

I find the author shows a lot of assurance in stating that assembler coders didn’t felt their skill atrophying when going to fortran. I am pretty certain that, apart from the writing style, the exact same complaints where made at the time.

Ok, sorry, I missed that. I would add though that while making bad choices is not unique to women, when it comes to mariage, lots of society used to make it so much easier on men. Men could/can escape home in work, hobbies, etc with mu

Agreed, when I asked for statistics I was addressing the parent comment, that might have been unclear.

Mixing etiquette and copyright. It is not only rude but also misleading and frankly, stupid.

by illiac786 6mo ago
It is, and the discussion is about etiquette, not law.

Parent said often, not always. Counter examples is an anecdote. I would like to see good statistics on this. And your wife’s opinion on her choices.

Severely missing the point here. It’s about being criticised and not recognised while doing so. It’s about lack of choice – and no, when you’re 25, you don’t know what this does to you over time. And when you finally do, it’s too late, you’

The problem has never been the lack of smart people for Chernobyl or Fukushima. Rather the fact that dumb, short sighted people were in power and drove the smart people away. And unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this is going to stop any

Yep, I have been saying for decades that I agree on almost everything wirh the local Green Party, _except_ the anti-nuclear stuff. Very emotional, very relatable but very dumb.

> Why do so many nuclear fans try to suggest climate change only exists if you like nuclear? It's very odd. You’re putting the answer you want to hear (“because they are nuclear fans”) in the question, making it extremely obvious bu

I do agree fundamentally, but you are making a lot of assumptions about the parents here. Many do not have parents able to do this. Do they not deserve some protection against such content? Blaming the parents for their failures is not goin

ah, yeah, ok, I agree (no idea what russian poeple really think, but I can imagine they hate their leaders or at the very least are terrified of them) — but I don’t see how that helps to be honest. If Russian troops attack, the options are

“battle tested for decades” just lost a lot of its value with Mythos and the likes unfortunately. Rewriting in a different language became much faster with Coding agents at the same time. I do agree that the second system effect is real, it

> The top 1% of earners already pay roughly half of all tax revenue, top 10% is roughly 75%. Do you have sources for this? I was looking for reliable sources on this.

Meaning, we can expect this not to actually happen any time soon.

I want corrupt politicians to bog off and people to think long term. I guess we’re both going to be very disappointed.

How can you say it’s “not real”?? Tell this to Ukrainians getting hundreds of missiles shot at them. Do you really believe it’s all a hoax and Russia is not invading/bombing/attacking the Ukraine?

Agreed on all of this, they suck, especially the lobbyists pushing weapons. But shouldn’t we start we the likes of Putin? That would significantly lower the demand for weapons. I feel it’s more realistic than getting rid of lobbyists unfort

I love em dashes. I always use it wrong, as a “pause for effect”. But it makes me smile.

by illiac786 6mo ago
Ok, that might be true, but what do you suggest if the aggressor is at your door? Discuss and convince them they are being manipulated?

by illiac786 6mo ago
“By law“ is funny, as if it was all a legal case. I’m sure Putin respects all international laws.

And men did the same, no?

If that’s obsession you really need to read some history books. Germany is barely lifting a finger.

I fully understand not standing behind politicians and the likes. But I don’t get this stance. If the Russians come, you would hand over the country to them? And then what, emigrate? I mean, fighting to protect the people of a country is al

No, the point of it is not cripping EU. The point of it _was_ to get more countries on board, because at the time, they had no clue how the EU would act and needed insurances. Now, if a majority does not want this veto anymore, it should be

What if a majority wants to alter the deal? What is tariffs affect one country more than the others, should it be allowed to veto a tariff decision? I agree now might not be the perfect time, but there never will be. and this veto thing is

It is a tough a long road yes. Is there a better one?

by illiac786 6mo ago
Yep, only way to get them on board. There wouldn’t be any EU if they hadn’t said this. They can leave though. UK would advise against it, I believe.
