I've heard online from (American) immigrants to the Netherlands that Dutch life can seem pretty boring. But I think this just signifies a major cultural difference between the US and other more traditional cultures. For a dutch person

I hate it when 'smart' people say dumb stuff like this. This feels in the same vein to that one time that Neil Degrasse Tyson said academic fields like philosophy and history are useless. Pure arrogance leading them to belief that

That's just semantics. The wood would be there without the hammer, the LLM wouldn't be here without the copyrighted works it's based on.

Maybe this is some form of 'growth hacking'? I.e. they will use the increase in commits cowritten by Copilot as 'proof' that the AI hype is still alive?

A therapist does more than just listen. A therapist is more like a driving instructor sitting in the second seat that points out things that you should pay attention to, and can take the wheel if you head into dangerous territory. If you sa

Honestly friend, I think you have some very cynical views about relationships, that aren't very healthy. All this talk about retribution, what would you think you will get out of this? What do you think would happen if all your bullies

There's plenty of research that shows treatment along with talk therapy yields better outcomes than treatment or therapy alone. If you have any evidence or anecdotes that are to the contrary I would love to hear it.

Awesome of you to put words in my mouth. I don't think people are 'broken' for having mental issues, and even I certainly would never imply that someone is somehow 'less' because of mental issues. Just as someone wi

In essence it's not about Israel itself, but rather that the US wants an ally in the region that they can use to project power in the middle east. Of course nowadays there's mutual interests and lobbying, so the choice for Israel

The point is that a fully grown person (i.e. adult) should be able to regulate their emotions to the point of being able to have a conversation with 3 strangers. You might not like it, it might stress you out a bunch, you can cry afterwards

(If you're an atheist) You shouldn't debate theology with religious people. The whole idea of religion is that they 'believe' despite their experiences, facts, reasoning and logic. There's literally nothing to gain

I'm someone who is good at those situations, and what I've learned is that no matter how much you disagree, there's always something that you can agree on. If you're stuck in disagreement, zoom out, and try to move back

Thanks trump! edit: /s to clarify. He's destroying relationships that were made over tens if not hundreds of years. The only upside to this is that us Europeans finally realize that dependency on foreign software is idiotic.
