If Russia would play nice, maybe the countries around them wouldn't mind having win-win deals with them. But somehow Russia thinks master-slave relationships are better.

Exactly, and in the end that's the only thing that matters: power. We in the western world can be very happy that democracies represent the biggest power. Anyone who doesn't agree is free to emigrate or happily live in a dictators

I know a few photographers and they have plenty of work and make nice money. The pictures that they take can't be compared with someone taking a picture with a smartphone. Both wedding photography and family/portraits.

Exactly. Let say AI makes us 100x more productive. What would happen? 1. 99% of devs will be out of work and the current work will be done by 1%. 2. More and better software will be developed. About 100x effort more. I'm pretty confide

With the current ChatGPT it's already hard to let it insult people. I'm sure safeguards would be built in to prevent this. Can you potentially circumvent these? Probably, but then again it won't be available for every dimwit,

Food, clothes and all the other stuff can be paid with crypto. Rent is probably harder, but I guess when you live in a place like Dubai that also won't be a problem (houses are sold/bought with crypto there). If you want you can a

Moldova for sure. Baltics or Poland highly likely, and that would mean a direct confrontation with NATO. The nuclear threats now are peanuts compared to what would happen then.

You claim that the economy of EU+UK is "a few order of magnitude smaller" than US? USA is getting a strong partnership next to one of its worst enemies. Let me pose this question: If US would drop out of NATO, would that mean all

You mean by forging win-win relationships with other countries instead of master-slave relationships? Maybe one form is better than the other, or do you consider those equal? I'm not from US by the way, I'm Belgian. You know, home

Even with minor infringements with e-bikes in Belgium they punish pretty severely. For example: bike not properly licensed: Lose your car license for 15 days and pay 800 euros.

You are correct, but for those shortcuts it was allowed. There is however a grey zone when going on bicycle lanes next to the rivers, because you can go max 30km/h there. But when nobody is there, I'm sure most e-bikes just go max

Some time ago I was surprised how fast these e-bikes are compared to my motorcycle. In Belgium we have plenty of roads where bikes can go but not cars & motorcycles. One morning I overtook a colleague on an e-bike (max 45km/h) with

On which data would you train it? For code completion for example, you can just train it with a whole bunch of code. But to explain large code bases, you need to train it with both large codebases and explanations. As far as I know, there a

Elon has an ego problem. He can't stand it when his ego gets challenged, so he then tries to mock the other person. He also doesn't back down when he clearly is wrong. It's a sign of immaturity.

Getting dumped by your partner can really crush your ego as a man. Don't worry, it will get better. The hardest thing for me was that I still loved her, but of course rationally didn't want to (mother of my 3 kids). One trick I us
