I gave up on "people should read things". Especially with AI now telling you how to think and what your final design should look like, I would be at least happy if they did some test of their own design and criticize it constructi

They just complain about the algorithms but they use also the same tool for propaganda / marketing. The only thing they literally agree on is "online hatred" because sometimes it goes against them, so they need to keep the sy

There are people hosting agents online to talk to other agents etc. on their behalf. How difficult is it to just instruct such an agent to do the tasks you mentioned? You're assuming it's done by "bad actors" while it&#x

They are doing crazy things to not do the one single thing that had to be done years ago - make Facebook, Instagram and Co. pay hard for the damage they brought on our kids and society. 90% of the crap our kids are exposed to comes from

I am not sure it's a matter of how you frame the issue, to be honest, although I have seen this argument used quite a lot. 100% renewables is the exact opposite of "100% non-renewables" and that's including also oil, gas

Sorry for the dumb question but how could you feel threatened by LLMs if you retired just a few years ago? Considering the hype started somewhere in 2022-2023.

It could also mean there is literally no possible way to reach it, because that's on the other side of a river, and there is no bridge. You should still not "walk there, because come on don't be lazy, a bit of walking is good

In principle you're right but these things can get probably 60-70% of the job done. The rest is up to "you". Never rely on it blindly as we're being told kind of... :)

The way I see it is that long game is to have agents in your life that memorize and understand your routine, facts, more and more. Imagine having an agent that knows about cars, and more specifically your car, when the checkups are due, whe

There are EU alternatives to Stripe. I know what you meant, but I think that there are alternatives, even if they are maybe not as good as the ones made in US. Also, if the goal is to go all in on data sovereignty, so be it - put the compan

I agree with this comment here. For me the main BIG deal is that cloud models have online search embedded etc, while this one doesn't. However, if you don't need that (e.g., translate, summarize text, writing code) probably is goo

I think it was like that some years ago. Now, as you said, it's really useless. 20 months are just the time to find an apartment, furnish it and get used to the place. Afterwards you have to pay some of the highest taxes in the world..

It's the app "stores" that encourage and push for that. You pay less tax to them when you do subscriptions rather than one time payments, if I recall especially with Apple Store (something like 30% first year, 15% the second

Because we have lost pragmatism over the last 40 years more or less. The leading politicians like to treat people in a way as if these didn't understand what's going on. So instead of saying energy independent, they call it CO2 ta

Actually the Green deal is an attempt at that. Masked as a way to save the planet, its goal is to get rid of deep dependencies like gas oil etc, which we in Europe don't have sufficiently. The main issue is the way the transition is ha

I think nobody in the EU believes that America is the country of freedom and privacy and anonymity. (Boolean and) I guess what the OP meant is that in EU you might have the police knocking at your door for some reasons you don't have i

Why the downvotes? The one above is not my opinion (although I partially agree with it, and now you can downvote this one :D ). To be honest, I don't care at all about X nor about an almost trillionaire. It was full of bots before, now

Elon Musk mentioned multiple times that he doesn't want to censor. If someone does or says something illegal on his platform, it has to be solved by law enforcement, not by someone on his platform. When asked to "moderate" it
