No, it was a deliberate strategy from the green party that were very anti-nuclear. They replaced it with gas power plants. And if you think this is a joke, no it isn't.

If you think that's lunacy, let me add some extra info on top of it: It was the green party that lead the closure, and then replaced it with gas power plants.

You don't think nuclear deterrence has a place in a modern defense strategy? If not, then I don't see the point in discussing this further.

So Germany will depend on France for their nuclear deterrence then.

I hope you're French, otherwise you are still relying on US defense.

At the current cost, I just use the best model all the time. Why wouldn't I?

Are you suggesting AI can understand things deeply? LLM's are fast at applying information, but thinking deeply, they do not. I love LLM's, because now I can focus more on the creative and thinking deep aspect, and leave most of t

As a developer becomes better, they become better than an LLM, being able to deal with more complex things than what an LLM can handle. Some people will not be able to pass it, but others will. When there will ever be AGI (I don't thin

When kids learn calculation, they indeed are not allowed to use a calculator. Same is true for your field now. When kids learn things the AI already knows, it's clear they can't use the AI. If you want them to become smarter than

The problem with spec driven development is that your specs are never complete, and for sure contain inconsistencies, wrong assumptions, etc. So now you write specs, and then an LLM, which is known to be overly compliant, will handle the im

I hate the tap to click, so that's probably our difference. I really want to physically click, and a tap should do nothing. I always get fake clicks in the other case. Dragging also becomes more natural when you have a real click. The

"comes close" in itself is a very relative concept. So how can you claim my statements are "objectively wrong"?. Depends on how close "close" is, right. If you can provide me an example of a laptop that beats o

I recently tried to replace Dropbox with Filen. Filen supports full encryption, so like you say better on privacy. Then I mounted it as a drive on my MacBook, and moved some backup files there. The move took a while, and after it, no backup

I get what you are saying, but as someone who was coding mobile apps in 2003 (iPhone was released in 2007), I have to give a few details. By the time iPhone was released, it was already too late for small companies. When you developed apps

My ideal curriculum would be to go through the entire evolution of computing, and at the final years you end up in modern computing. In the end we kind of went over all those topics, but it would have been a very straight forward curriculum

Yes, definitely. I also don't think every project is able to create a plugin platform. Sometimes you just have a lot of interconnected components, where they kind of influence each other. What I was trying to say is that in future deve

'past the bar' means you have to be smarter than AI, simple as that. You need to be able to tell when it delivers good work, and when not. If you are not smarter than AI, you will not be able to tell the difference. And then what

I don't see the value of a junior instructing an AI, because I as a senior can also instruct an AI. I perceive the AI itself as a very fast junior that I pair program with. So you basically need the seniority to be able to work with a

Here's a tip from an old timer: read the official docs. I work a lot with juniors, and they all seem to prefer watching video's. But videos in my opinion are a slow way to gain superficial knowledge. Do it the hard way and read th
