They should spend the money instead of taking the risk of burdening someone with a disability their whole lives. This treatment is not a sure thing. And yes, I am disabled myself.

They're already very cheap, almost free when you buy used. I got one for $50 that makes pretty good prints. For $300 you can buy an Elegoo Centauri Carbon that is a really high end consumer printer. Don't forget that we're ta

It's not awesome, not for us. 30% productivity gain would be enormous. Just imagine 30% of developers losing their jobs, in addition to outsourcing and all the new graduates flooding out of colleges after CS has been hyped so much in t

Good. One thing we definitely don't need any more of is governments and corporations deciding for us what is moral to do and what isn't.

The fact that you got a syntax error at all is pretty telling. Are you not using agent mode? Or maybe that's just the experience with inferior non-statically typed languages where such errors only appear when the application is run. In

The burger cook job has already been displaced and continues to be. Pre-1940s those burger restaurants relied on skilled cooks that got their meat from a butcher and cut fresh lettuce every day. Post-1940s the cooking process has increasing

Does anyone want this? Speed has never been the problem for me, in fact, higher latency means less work for me as a replaceable corporate employee. What I need is the most intelligence possible; I don't care if I have to wait a day for

Quickly and concisely? In my experience, Claude drivels on and on forever. The answers are always far longer than Gemini's, which is mostly fine for coding but annoying for planning/questions.

That sounds about right to me, maybe a tad too low. In my experience it's more like 2-3 rounds of interviews and 70-75k€/year with 5 YoE and a college degree, which amounts to 3700€/month net income and you can't expect

They just like banning stuff. Guns, child porn, whatever is just a pretense to restrict your freedoms. That's what governments, any and all governments, do.

This is the real problem with the US tariffs. There is no strategy and no confidence from businesses that their investments will pay off. China can do it because everyone knows that the CCP will stick to their plan but Trump changes his min

Tariffs/subsidies should be weaned off over time. Their success absolutely does not depend on "local retailers [why are you even talking about retailers when it is all about manufacturers?] deciding all on their own to lower their

Is this supposed to be some sort of "gotcha"? The whole point of tariffs is to increase prices so that there is a chance for more expensive domestic producers to establish themselves against foreign competition. It's working

They don't care if Windows is good or not because they don't make any money on it. Today, the only purpose of Windows OS is to advertise (or force) other more profitable Microsoft products as cheaply as possible.

You don't need 10x developers. You just need to avoid the 1/10 multiplier of pitting separate development and operations teams against each other.

No, it really isn't. I use Ubuntu daily and not a month passes without a serious issue that no normal user would be able to solve. Last week my desktop completely froze again (as it often does) and Linux broke a mounted NTFS partition

All of what you said is accurate, but the problems are unfixable at this point, for two reasons: 1. Millie Bobbie Brown, the actor of Eleven, is unfathomably stupid (watch any out-of-character interview with her) and the role has simply out

Yeah, Stranger Things producers of all people should perhaps be cautious calling something "garbage". Rarely has a TV show fallen so far so fast.

Basically, it is illegal for German companies to use freelancers in the same way as they would use permanent employees. For software developers this means you're not allowed to work for one client for a long time, not allowed to attend

You don't need an educated workforce if you have machines that can do it reliably. The more important question is: who will buy your crap if your population is too poor due to lack of well paying jobs? A look towards England or Germany
