Interesting statement. What is the nature of the superiority that you think you're seeing exactly? Witnessing a Russian youth kicking a downed man in the head was quite revelatory: indeed no one from Côte d'Ivoire would be that m

Pray tell what other paths do you think there are? Fold and let Europe be enslaved by a certain nuke-equipped Mafia? This is very clearly what we're looking at with this new attack here, and without consistent x10 responses the thugs w

oh wow thanks for the insight, the "free reinforcement learning" aspect clearly means we should neither downvote nor upvote, right? The commenting pattern of this nklhlk puppet user clearly show what kind of prompting was used. Sc

Jira's extreme customizability has been the perfect footgun in any enterprise I've seen. Any misguided over-engineering of attributes, status values, workflows, is made easy and can be project and team-specific. The default from w

are you sure though that being more CPU-bound will imply more waiting on the GIL? CPU-bound python in my experience means libraries, like eg. numpy, that are well-designed and release the GIL.

Wow, 36ms per second is only 3.6% of the time. Python waiting on the GIL is then a pretty overblown problem, as this is not very significant. I wonder if this measure could be run on apps built with various frameworks. I expect that with

Sure, end-to-end verification of software being run could be a thing, but what then prevents the LLM-assisted setup from using an analog video feed to a separate computer, and analog input back on keyboard and mouse? Do you also expect we&#

spending only a few hours impersonating on TikTok will expose pretty quickly the reality that significant skill has been applied to leading kids towards awfulness. Maybe start observing?

You just use the good old way of dealing with criminals: appropriate prosecution and sentencing. The American con-man from the article, even if operating out of Moscow, will get it.

May I suggest you read the book "adults in the room". The author has his faults but the notion that any bank bailout and debt repackagings mean that the rest of the EU (cough, Germany) is subsidising Greece is deeply misguided. As
