Older generations have no more integrity. Just look at the last US presidential election results - older generations were more likely to vote for Trump than younger ones. I don't think a person with integrity is likely to vote for such

I had a work-issued Dell Latitude for several years (2021 model, 11th gen Intel). Overall it was a mediocre machine, but battery life really sucked (like, max 2 hours of light browsing). Several years older Thinkpad T480s gave me way longer

I live in Finland, with over 10% unemployment according to official statistics (second highest in EU, just after Spain). From what I can tell, things really suck especially for fresh grads. There's fierce competition for jobs like cash

"I think people who kept saying there is no moat in AI is about to be shocked at how strong of a moat there actually is for ChatGPT." I'm not sure that really is the case. Most non-techies I know use ChatGPT far less than the

Yep, the lack of commons sense is sometimes very evident. For instance, one of these popular generative AI services refused to remove copyright watermark from an image when asked directly. Then I told it that the image has weird text artifa

The pipeline thing may have annoyed Russia, but it was the Maidan revolution which resulted in the invasion of Crimea. Russia simply doesn't like having neighbours that aren't its puppets. When Ukrainians got rid of Yanukovych, Uk

There's a middle-ground between a big city and full countryside. I lived my childhood in a place with about 4000 people in it. School, friends and everything else I needed was within walking, or at least biking distance. My parents did

It's about time to start preparing for global geoengineering. Spraying our atmosphere with stuff that reflects light would buy us time to get emissions under control, and help avoiding the worst scenarios. Best of all, we know it works

"If you understand everything the LLM wrote then you’re holding it wrong." If you're using LLM to build production code, then yes, you should very much understand everything the LLM wrote.

Yes, like renewable energy infrastructure (which China does, and would be highly useful anyway in case generative AI does live up to its promise). Even if generative AI lives up to its hype, with current US administration there's no wa

I'm still using my Samsung dumb TV from circa 2008. paired with ancient Chromecast. No way I'm going to buy a smart TV as long as this combination keeps working. No ads, and things mostly just work, and it cost me next to nothing.

Most of web applications are CRUD apps - they store information in a database, and allow modifying & retrieving it later. People generally expect these systems to be deterministic, so that the data you submit will be later available in

Real life hobbies, voluntary work, religious organizations if you're into that stuff. Any of these could work, as long as you find some genuine interest in it, and there are enough people that meet your dating profile around. Of course

Some of those men could meet someone if they quit Tinder or whatever crap online platform they might be using for dating, and start meeting people in real life. Worked for me at least. There's simply less competition and more space for

Maybe I just got lucky, but a year ago or so I managed to find Kingston 32GB DDR4 ECC UDIMM's from Amazon for a price that was more or less identical to normal non-ECC RAM. Running a Ryzen system with 128gb of memory now.

I'm glad these days one can just get a Zigbee button for 5$, and connect it to Home Assistant without internet connection required. I refuse to buy anything that has a mandatory dependence on cloud services.

Yeah, as somebody who switched from Linux to Mac recently, I feel that MacOS is a nuisance. Yet it's a nuisance I can tolerate with some tweaking, when in return I get much better battery life, screen and keyboard compared to any other

Mostly it's about engine tech. A 777/787 or whatever can fit almost as many passengers as a 747, but has only two engines, burning less fuel and requiring less maintenance. Back when 747 was designed engine tech wasn't there

If you meet educated Iranians, and read news on what's happening in the country, it's pretty obvious. Whether it's "hate" or "deeply dislike" may vary by person.

Iranian regime sucks, American regime sucks. Both can be true at the same time. I'm not a fan of either, although I think Trump's government does enjoy higher level of support in America than Iranian government does in Iran. Trump

Yet the ruling elites and military still enjoy decent quality of life, it´s mostly the ordinary people who suffer. In case of Russia that´s okay since large parts of the population genuinely support the war, but I´m not so sure about Iran a

Most educated Iranians hate their government. The problem is that a revolution isn't easy when the government has all the guns, and the military & revolutionary guard remain loyal, and have no problem with shooting masses of innoce

I think it's been pretty obvious for decades already that something like solution 3 is what will eventually happen. First two solutions would require compromise and sanity from both sides, which they are clearly not capable of. If role

Yep, most things Trump does make sense if we assume he's a Russian puppet. Russia really wants to divide West, to keep world hooked on fossil fuels, and to undermine democracy everywhere.

At my work we use Zulip, and I haven't really found many people complaining about it. At least on iOS works just fine for me.
