My sister used to cook on private Yachts in the Mediterranean, and mingle with that part of the population that pay 3-5k/month for private insurance, helicopter evacuation and all that. I'm pretty sure they can ask their clinics a

Pregnancy can turn bad (10% of first-time pregnancy, might be higher in country with high obesity rates). In that case, the faster you are with the anaesthetic and the C-section, the better. Also, hygiene. Also, ombilical cords around the n

If we go by that analogy, i think LLMs (and all of current programming automation like compilers) are just different mechanical parts. They will improve in quality, in precision, surrounding product will make them even more effective (MCP i

Its mostly metallurgy. The fact that we became so much better and precise at metallurgy enabled us to make use of steam machines. Of course a lot of stuff helped (Glassmaking, whale oil immediatly come to mind) but mostly, metallurgy.

Most antifascist groups are not protest groups. Most of them are watchdogs. When a story about military groups (including police) making nazi salutes or getting nazi tattoos or praying in front a a picture of Hitler come out, 99% of the tim

That's the average. Please compare the median wealth (especially seeing the absurd paper wealth of crypto bro and stock influencers who are almost exclusively millennials). [Edit] also inflation is calculated based on average consumpti

I did a mistake during an early refactor a year ago (the last refactor just before the code hit production, and any new update on models would demand a db migration), and i architectured and named a data structure poorly. Sadly it was a hug

The age check is already present in France, since I think a month? I will probably test it soon to see how inconvenient/insecure it is, but from what I read it seems to be well designed for privacy.

If you slowly boil any animal with a brain that can move out your boiling recipient, it will move out once the temperature is uncomfortable, way before any danger. The expression always seemed dumb to me, but now that I know where it came f

I think the TUV is mostly about safety equipment (light, breaks) that don't pass the two year check (they probably also test the alignment and other stuff), and your link might be about engine/transmission/power train defects

Democracy worked well here. The executive wanted more power (once again), the parliament refused, twice, despite _a lot_ of lobbying and pressure from the executive branch. Good job to the tech industry for counterlobbying (i'm not say

No, because EUCJ still have power to interpret the laws, or to declare the laws illegal. And the EUCJ, while incredibly pro-consummer, seems to really, really dislike the police state. It will happen only if the council manage to defang the

I think that's probably the most beautiful AI-generated post that was ever generated. The fact that he posted it shows that either he didn't read it, didn't understood it, or thought it would be fun to show how the AI impleme

It seems the author fed a list of documents and points to an AI, asked it to write an argument on it, then the AI hallucinated quotes and tried to badly extrapolate from real data. I think the original point might be true, but it is hard to
