My whole line of reasoning makes perfect sense given I worked in trades doing exactly what I talk about in a country with one of the most complicated tax systems there is. Prices are calculated by adding your costs into the base price which

Everything you named should be included in the price you charge for a cup of coffee. So the money you extract from it, minus the cost you named is your profit. If you dont make profit on that sale, I have bad news for your business idea. &g

Noise pollution is a real issue, even for data centers that is "humming quietly". Same for its energy consumption. Water cooling is another issue, given that lots of the steam a data center generates can rain down in places that w

Timescale has nothing to do with this though. You're Starbucks, you sell me a cup of coffee, you make profit from that cup of coffee, you pay taxes on that singular profit. What your companies bank account states is not what I care abo

So I'll expect not having to pay VAT next time I buy from a franchised business operating in my country given that all of them usually make little to no profits officially.

>so it makes sense you don't pay taxes until you make back that $100m you lost LOL. You losing money with your business is no excuse to not pay taxes on profits you make after losing money. Just because you lost money doesn't m

Idk, maybe some people get crazy productivity out of LLMs. To me, going deep into the AI bubble, reading about terms I've never seen before just feels like some crypto bro bubble with people being too deep into the sauce to notice that

Many devs now work in YOLO mode letting LLMs automate their tasks.

by sevenzero 2mo ago
Also people tend to forget that LLMs still just work on compressed data... Where are the MAJOR breakthroughs? Where is all the "crazy" AI output going? Software seemed to degrade in quality a lot in the recent years. All "imp

Willkommen in Hamburg! Was a fun read. Seems like you were extremely lucky with your company and flat mate. I know a lot of immigrants working in logistics and they'd tell a different story. It's cool to see that it can work out p

Personally I even refuse to learn what it is in the AI context. Feels like a waste of energy given new ~~~best ways to use YOUR tokens~~~ are discovered every month and things you learn now will be useless next month. I am doing perfectly f

> Tainter suggests that societies collapse because the costs of maintaining complexity eventually outweigh the benefits. “Collapse” in this context is more like a simplification than a catastrophe. And he points out that for a lot of peo

Ill check the book out as I am extremely interested in these kind of topics. Although I am extremely pessimistic. You wrote "the west", what system will (in theory) work out? And how much does it value the individual? I know capit

Extremely likely. Humanity won't work out. Time is running out and we still kill each other over money and religions.

This is reasonable up to the point of lawmakers suddenly deeming rainbow flags just as bad as drugs (Russia as an example). Your example may work in well intended countries but completely ignores that a country can VERY easily shift into a

A small example would be to set the device into "kiosk mode" which many companies use for their employee devices too. Prevent app installs, check what pages ur kids visit with their browsers and whatnot. Just make sure to be open

You have a kid, you have responsibility for that kid. In Germany we have a term "Aufsichtspflicht" for this, which roughly translates to duty of supervision. Up to a certain age of the kid parents will be made responsible for dama

Its the same thing with Europe allowing scans of private chats now. Nobody would tolerate a person opening the letters from ur physical mail box and reading through each of them just to see if you do [insert illegal activity]. But once this

The journey is often whats most fun to me. Just walking somewhere with friends without worries in our minds. The pub visit itself is usually short lived for us. Can't imagine having to walk in a non-green area though, really sounds dep

Sounds really nice, I live 1.5 hours from Hamburg and might just visit the Stadtpark for the first time in my life due to this post. Soonish the concert season begins again as well so Ill be in Hamburg more often from there on out anyway. M

Yea I'd agree. I hate configuring things or setting up custom scripts that could make things easier for me and yet I still work productive on my day 2 day tasks. Also used neovim for 2 years or so and hated every minute of it having to

Nah vanilla Javascript is fine as it was built to make stuff more interactive on the frontend side, which it works great for.

This should be the way. For some reason, over time, it became harder and harder to build web apps. Tech should be about making things easier though. I don't know where we went wrong.

I refuse macros for the same reason. Sure they can be handy, but usually they make code harder to read too.

Sure but this analogy is weird. I dont have to cook my own pasta in a restaurant, would be a counter analogy which is just as unfitting.

Hmm I could try that, but honestly I dont see why I should pay 30€ a month for an IDE that I have to manually tweak for :/
