How is your voice handling pipeline emojis and "leftwards rounded arrow with hook" bullshit any AI slop will contain and any reader will insist on fully reading aloud? I gave up reading webpages because of this, I can't focus

Many many many contracts and systems refuse to use EU funds exactly because of this - they become traceable.

Sometimes it can happen that the honest company gets a visit from the dedicated contract crony, with the offer to do the real work for like 50% of the contract value. At least the taxpayers get something usable - if that 50% amounts to some

Last century non-socialist governments caused untold deaths in many Western countries, starting with Germany for a better known example, but the entire list is quite long. So could it be that it wasn't socialism the problem?

Oh but also the good old IRC channels on Undernet or whatever? Not quite warez to get you banned, just gray area with no official support but allowed to stay. Community chat, music recommendations, admin bots and random trivia - #mp3_...

I do watch screens in the morning, but reading in bed (though still a screen, Kindle) still knocks me off in max 15 minutes. I would love to know why... I only know it works.

Also, USAID seems to have been replaced with MAGA-AID: "US to fund Trump-aligned Europeans building ‘civilisational bonds’" https://www.ft.com/content/e2addd88-4361-43f1-94e2-9f0a808dd...

I'm so happy mobile-first is dead. You have two platforms, so build for two platforms - they have different paradigms and doing anything xy-first will break the other.

It's also replacing all the personal information stores from thousand applications and websites you have previously registered, or would have to. So arguably it's thousand attack vectors less.

As it looks, the tax dollars came back home and yet every price and cost and younameit continued to increase. Maybe, just maybe, USAID was not the problem? Maybe cutting USAID was just a pretext, a pretext some people still buy in front of

Claude's coding efficiency is largely due to their control plane governing the actual execution of the model - rules, evaluators and basically looping over results. Not related to the model training or fine tuning.

I have Facebook and follow about a dozen of journalist accounts. Almost daily I'm asked "should we show you more of this" for their posts - darnit that's THE reason I'm here, why asking me continuously??? And what&#

It's also conveniently forgetting that AI was trained on the whole internet, a corpus of code including every garbage solution in SO wrong answers or random junior blogs. I didn't see any claim AI could select "best practices

Maybe it's not your problem, but I realized I can only fully pay attention to audiobooks in my native language. Arguably not even then, when there are interruptions, obviously, but listening in any other language I can't even tell

Don't forget it's not "the platforms" doing this, it's people like you and me, maybe even people reading this message. We, they, are building this, and don't care about anything as long the paycheck comes. This

One design doesn't mean one factory. And it's not about one design anyway, just the thought of culling the less performing ones.

Took me a while to get rid of the mental image of an army of green moustached Luigis crowding a cartoon palace. But maybe it's not even such a bad image after all. Now where are the Marios when you need them?

> it seems bizarre that a response on "why do you want to relocate" wouldn't just be some form of "my spouse got a job here, so I will be living here now". That's no real passion to work for us buddy, byez.

What are for you the right reasons for taking a job? Most teams will have enough common sense and healthy relationships to offer something workable, also most software products are a piece of whatever - be it insurance front-ends or package

Cool numbers, so are you making an argument for eating out, for getting take out, or for ordering delivery? Or for moving to Asia? Sorry I don't know what to do with all that information.

Thinking about my Swiss village, the only takeout worth thinking about is the delicious kebab downhill which doesn't do delivery. Otherwise it would be all eat.ch and similar. Why should I drive when I can get it delivered for no extra

So basically the people we elected will vote yes. How's that undemocratic? Because the majority doesn't vote the way I like it? I'm not even ironic, I truly don't understand those comments. You get what you voted for, ga

The humanness of the music I listen to is given by actual humans composing and playing it. I don't mean little mistakes or whatever signal, but knowing it's made by humans. Otherwise I can't be arsed to listen to it, because
