I generally agree except for the war. Personnel costs, energy, manufacturing costs, costs of specific weaponry used vary vastly across countries. Russia or China can deliver much more firepower per USD than US.

My point still holds, there was nothing as threatening investments as WWI, WWII, Yugoslavian wars, Russo-Ukrainian war, no coups or revolutions.

Accessibility of this page is pretty bad as far as I can tell, but not because it's plain HTML. And if I understand correctly you can mark ASCII art as an image (role="img") with alternative text too.

No cookies, no frameworks (no JS at all really), plain unobfuscated html. Amazing!

Why should math trigger an alarm in engineer's mind? The only thing that triggered my alarm is that it's a pretty bad math - why thinking in terms of cardinalities when we are really talking about subsets? And why use ℝ - which is

I'd argue it would be more democratic like that. If we had pan-European parties with their own pan-European agendas, people would know what they are voting for, and would be much more involved. Instead EU is still rather an internation

I follow news about German, British and US politics, and I can't quite understand what you mean. Clearly there is debate in Germany, both in parliament and in press. The author of the discussed article is a German politician himself.

I guess it's an answer to Jensen Huang? He certainly has reasons to oversell AI, but he was talking about teaching kids at school programming - which never made sense IMO. Even if you want everyone of them to become professional progra

Still, why would you use a private jet if your company is not only not profitable, but also doesn't generate meaningful revenue? You're not spending money you've earned, you're spending borrowed money.

I liked the description, but do we really need blockchain bs for that? Git by itself is decentralized, and peer-to-peer technologies existed long before too.

I remember in the olden days of open source, when there was a debate whether it is viable, the point of the free software party was that you are not going to make money selling the software itself, but rather using the software or providing

He's not saying there is though? The "cookie law" is 14 years old now, and it looks like the proverbial Brussels effect failed to change how the whole industry operates, except we now have cookie banners.

OK, so assuming a script kiddy with LLM can be as efficient as a junior without LLM, junior with LLM is going to be even more efficient. So we are back to where we are, except everyone is more efficient. I myself don't tend to believ

That's a very weird market you're describing. Can't the top 10% do "prompt engineering" themselves? What's the point of creating a layer of incompetent human programmers in the middle?
