Good riddance. The latest chapter of America’s cultural revolution has been driven largely by radical currents in the humanities and by students eager to impose them beyond campus. It is finally time for universities to reconsider what they

I realized a few years ago that there's an important difference between someone who believes women should have equal rights and a feminist. Similarly, there's a difference between someone who believes men should have equal rights

Ah yes, the eternal horseshoe of censorship, where both ends of the political spectrum discover they're passionate defenders of "the children" and "democracy" whenever it's convenient for controlling what other

This is a very thoughtful post, and I sympathize with the sentiment, but I don't think it's really about "open sourcing" anything. The same could be said if you spent that time building model trains, working on a car, or

Could Switzerland's prosperity instead be linked to its historical role in safeguarding gold taken from Jewish victims during World War II, its tradition of banking secrecy that enabled dictators like Ferdinand Marcos, Mobutu Sese Seko

My favourite example is something that happens quite often even with Opus, where I ask it to change a piece of code, and it does. Then I ask it to write a test for that code, it dutifully writes one. Next, I tell it to run the test, and of

Thank you for this unhelpful response. Obviously my mouth was involved, but so were my brain, gut, and the rest of my body. The point I'm making is that I never consciously decided to gain weight. My body, however, seemed to have its o

15 years ago, I lost 32 kg. Ever since, I've been keeping a weight diary, weighing myself almost every day. I've now regained those kilos, plus an additional 15. The funny thing is that the yo-yo effect took 9.5 years to fully hap

This is nostalgia for the world before a series of "Eternal September" events. In my opinion, it's essentially longing for an internet dominated by a different kind of user than today's majority and no amount of technica

The sad thing is that you are probably right.

If it’s really a time bomb, I’d expect the supposedly responsible party to defuse it. So why haven’t they?

Allow me to recommend “The Most Intolerant Wins: The Dictatorship of the Small Minority” ( https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict... ) to help explain why.

Both. But I didn't quote him to praise him, just to express distress that our current situation seems disturbingly similar to those dark times.

To me, the most disturbing part isn’t just the laws themselves, it’s the complete shift in the cultural zeitgeist. When I was younger, people distrusted the government by default. We stood for freedom of speech, anonymity, the right to spea

If it were only France or Germany, it wouldn't be as bad. I returned to Poland after almost 15 years in the UK, and despite our health service being an absolute shambles, I still prefer it to the NHS.

We haven’t learned anything. We’re already caught in a radicalization spiral between the far left and the far right, echoing 1930s Europe. AfD is currently the most popular party in Germany, France is stuck between the National Rally and th

"Streamline" must be one of the most weaselly buzzwords floating around today's corporate jargon, and, for some inexplicable reason, LLMs seem particularly fond of it too.

I once asked it to read a postcard written by my late grandfather in Polish, as I was struggling to decipher it. It incorrectly identified the text as Romanian and kept insisting on that, even after I corrected it: "I understand you ar

Thank you! I honestly don’t get how people don’t notice this. Gemini is the only major model that, on multiple occasions, flat-out refused to do what I asked, and twice, it even got so upset it wouldn’t talk to me at all.

by poszlem 1y ago
From my perspective, Gemini CLI is useless—it’s the only LLM that has repeatedly refused to work with me because of so-called "offensive language." And when it does work it's overly verbose and often just plainly wrong. Codex

Yeah, of all the shady things Ryanair does, this one actually makes sense from a fairness perspective.

But 16 is not enough to die for your country. 16 year olds can join the military (only with parental consent btw.) but cannot be deployed to combat zones until they are 18.

Because this only happens because of the misguided belief that young people will always vote Labour. It's nothing more than age-based gerrymandering to manipulate voting outcomes.
