Random aside: Back in the day Microsoft used the "Quick" prefix and Borland used "Turbo" . I am waiting for a QRUST.

"Models favor monolithic, single-file implementations that diverge sharply from human-written code." You say! I might have been just an LLM all along without even knowing it since I too prefer single file implementations. Back i

NLnet (the foundation) is Dutch, but as far as I know NLnet Labs (which does the work and spends the money) is at least partially funded by Germany (through the Sovereign Tech Fund). I don't have the numbers at hand and cannot dig them

It's so fast that the first using it I thought something must have gone wrong, and that was a 40 page document.

"create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more." I use Opus to generate Typst for that and I'm already pretty happy with that approach. It gives me a degree of control I do not have with

The most important one is missing: Fass! You better know what it means when a dog owner points at you and says "Fass!" . There is a hilarious episode by German comedian Gerhard Polt about this word where he plays the owner of a

There is no "strong case" in this article. Yeah the guy linked to it has a slavic name and likely speaks Russian. Guess what? That's true for most of eastern Europe you will find plenty of people matching these criteria all

They are all not Anna's Archive and one is not like the other. Z-library, LibGen maybe, Archive.is might be eastern Europe but almost certainly not Russia. Just because it's advantageous in some cases to appear Russian or Chinese

That’s a big if. My bet is that they are in Central or Northern Europe, just like the Pirate Bay people. Unlikely anyone in Russia or China would care to offer a service primarily to the benefit of the western world. I bet there are similar

"If you failed it is only evidence that you were not doing enough." is the core principle the whole self-help, self-improvement and large parts of weight loss and health industries always have been based on.

Maybe it's not about the money primarily. There are enough parties out there that want the people behind Anna's archive behind bars and I'm afraid this will end the same way as for the Pirate Bay guys in the best case and lik

"Consumers of dependencies aren't necessarily - or, I would argue, even typically - eyeballing them." No, but they are the reason software supply chain companies look into the releases. Cool downs very well shift the priori

The norm is competition and cooperation is the tool we invented to compete more effectively. Cooperation is only competition’s favorite strategy.

Oh boy, that’s a very generous view of human nature. The cynic in me agrees with the article’s premise, but not because I believe "alignment is a joke" , but because I doubt that humans are "biologically predisposed to acqu

Not sure about US but since another comment linked to an article about Germany, there you cannot avoid conscription by changing gender.

"This is the sort of thing which was done before in a world where there was NUMA" You sound like NUMA was dead, is this a bit of hyperbole or would really say there is no NUMA anymore. Honest question because I am out if touch.

Ha, ha, true, I struggled with which verb to use for "love" but thinking about it what you wrote would not be completely wrong for Germany as well.

I guess the Brazilian take on this would be: "Being on time is rude because you may be disturbing your host before they’ve made all the preparations they need before your arrival. Being early would be an outrageous offense." It

I think every OS should ask you to press a freshly generated sequence of keys when connecting a keyboard to prevent BadUSB attacks. Does any system do this?

I'm all for personal responsibility but when it comes to employer/employee relationship there is a certain duty of care (beyond paying you) from the employer side. In many countries this is even coded in law but even if not it ma

To me all the faces look messed but I believe it is mostly because the image seems to be distorted, it is stretched in the vertical direction. I suspect it was created on hardware with non-square pixels and is just displayed wrongly.

The testing pyramid comes from a time of desktop apps with no API and when UI tests were extremely expensive. I made 100% sense in that context, it never did in other contexts. Despite its omnipresence it had not made any sense for the vast

"technically better than most people" I guess with them touring and playing basically non-stop a certain kind of that is inevitable. Their concert frequency was on par with the otherwise known as most prolific band ever, The Bea

But isn't it the other way around. The more wealthy you get the more valuable things become and the people around you become less valuable. Superficially it sounds counterintuitive and yet it is what we observe, even if it is a not
