That's interesting. In my country ThinkPad E14 16/512 is 37% more expensive and comes with garbage 60% srgb screen. It's actually more expensive than MacBook air M4 16/512.

It's natural to reduce the cost of doing business.

That's true and on top of that the EU heavily taxes CO2 emissions which makes the problem even worse. If not for the EU ETS, they could just go back to burning coal for electricity which is cheap and abundant everywhere.

But won't it be slow and provide a bad experience?

I agree that the lack of backlight keyboard and touch ID isn't a serious limitation but 8 GB of ram would be probably be hardly usable, especially on tahoe.

latex error messages are basically indecipherable to me which makes it unusable for anything

especially bad for european union countries since they can't switch electricity generation to coal because it would push the ets price through the roof

With only 8 GB of RAM would this be usable even for web browsing?

The article seems written soundly but I can't stop thinking that all these patterns discribed there are just a huge overengineering and are solving problems which don't really exist.

It's has been like this for a long time. For me hotmail is unusable because some emails just never arrive due to their spam filtering.

PMs writing software seems like a terrible idea. Vibecoding still requires to be quite knowledge about the software engineering to actually get good results.

> most software engineers became engineers because they love writing code. I don't think this is true. I'm pretty sure most of them do it because it pays good salary.

I use other models to do the code review.

I don't work on open source stuff but I work at a financial institution and genai has been a huge productivity boost. I can easily write 2x - 5x more code than before genai.

A simpler and easier alternative is just using a key value db like leveldb. Eliminates the need to deal with SQL.

We don't really know a consciousness really is and I think it is premature to dismiss the possibility of replicating the behavior with a mathematical model.

Most people treat higher education as a pass to good paying job and I think it's unrealistic to think otherwise.

Is there even a point learning CS now with the rapid progress of agentic coding? It seems like a complete waste of money and time.

> FreeBSD reached that third stage in 2000. Linux wouldn't get there until 2008 with LXC. OpenVZ and Linux vserver are older than LXC and were commonly used, though they required a patched kernel.

It's possible to create hydrogen from coal and carbon capture is supposed to be feasible. Though I don't know how commercially viable this is.

I read some time ago that hospitality is the lowest-paying industry. It’s unrealistic to expect strong candidates there.

Just another case of the EU being focused on unimportant things while looking away from real issues like cost of living crisis or energy costs. Though on the other hand, it may be for the best since they only make things actively worse.

In my option traditional forums, especially for beginners, doesn't make sense anymore in the age of LLMs.

It's because of the taxes (the emissions trading system). I've mentioned it in my earlier post.

That's true if you're working as a contractor and being able to do more translates to higher income but it doesn't work so for employees.

Look at the price of electricity in European Union countries. It's true. I know what I pay for electricity and you aren't going to gaslight me into thinking otherwise.

Using these tools comes down to basically just writing what you want in a natural language. I don't think it will be a problem to catch up if they need to.
