> But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? Obviously, because if you make a whole platform like that, nobody stands out any more, but everyone if forced to do more (unpaid) work than the

A lot of modern Germans seem to be very proud of it for some reason. Also Zuse's company existed long after the WWII.

What's a "de facto vassal state"? That's a pretty vague notion, one could fill it with any meaning. What Trump has shown is that Europe is not as dependent as to follow US politics whatever it is.

Sounds like pretty bad point to intervene though? If I decided to leave, and even announced it I'm probably pretty pissed off already. I probably raised my concerns before - or if I haven't, it is an indication of dysfunction of i

Most importantly it can't be held liable like a human.

Determinism or randomness should play no role here. The fact that the output is a function of model, training data and prompt (and nothing else) makes the result a derived work from the training data.

Inspiration implies some intrinsic creativity that gets an impulse from someone else's work, but is not determined by it. We don't know how creativity and inspiration works in humans, but we know for sure that response of a genera

Probably the best comment overall. Many people assume that because ZIRP was unhealthy, present situation returns us to being practical, down to earth, and caring more about engineering that the buzz. It's not what I see around myself,

There is attrition and there are layoffs. With attrition someone leaves every year or so, you part on good terms, and the company hires a replacement on a similar level and location. Layoffs means reducing headcount, your team ends up weake

Continent is a mass of land, it can't have values. E.g. countries on the European continent include Turkey and Russia. European Union on the other hand explicitly declares shared values.

There is a lot of history and values behind the "org that eases trade". It even has its own anthem, and the Treaty of Lisbon explicitly lists what values it is founded on.

Worth noting that in C and C++ enum-typed variable holding a value not in the enum is a UB. Had some funny bugs because of that.

Internet is treated this way in Germany, and it's slow and expensive. Eastern European countries that put their bets on competition instead of regulation have more bang for the buck in their network infrastructure

Honest question: are there any happy acquisition stories? Like, a big company acquired a startup and with startup's vision and big company's resources it achieved success to the glory of the acquirer?

To me "craft" is about keeping code efficient, scalable, extensible, well-tested and documented. Code style is more about what naming convention to use, tabs vs spaces etc. - it's nice to have it consistent, but no need to sp

What I don't understand is the big plan. Say, you manage bring about something that works in the lab on par with DeepSeek R1. What happens with it next? In the market LLMs are being improved continuously based on feedback - in terms of

Makes sense. I've never been asked to make such an exercise in real time, most of the time that would be a take home task - but I understand if someone wants to do that. Still it would be weird to demand that a candidate uses Google,

Wow. I heavily rely on Google for work, wouldn't expect a candidate spend precious interview time googling though.

Disability is in general relative to the expextations of a particular society. There are people who can't tell a minor and a major third apart - they won't make a career in music probably, but it's not considered a disability

Oh, I hoped it would be able to check timing constraints. In reality it's a linter marking known bad function calls.

From my experience - that's mostly because courses are useless for career. So attending them is an optional, low priority activity. If you could actually get a respectable degree or skills on a CV that matter for anything other than ju

I understand why _they_ would want to replace jobs with AI, but not why _we_ would want it. The democratic world as we know it is largely based on labour, and especially intellectual labour, having a lot of leverage. If it is no longer the

If an AI can do "most economically valuable jobs" retraining won't help. Unless you want to retrain for something that is not economically valuable enough to spend compute on it, and has having a human body as a non-negotiabl

> paying 3k per year, to avoid 1% risk of 250k losses may be a good idea You are basically guaranteed to pay 3k to avoid financial risk with a mean value of 2,5k. That sounds like a fallacy to me (isn't it the same as saying that pa
