They are bigger. Not as easy to guess. More like pretty impossible. It's like not letting the user choose the password. That way they can't have a bad password.

Nope. I started with old school blender.

I think you need to start learning a lot of things from scratch. They are just very different programs with different concepts and layouts. You can sure transfer some things over but I think it might be best to just start from scratch, skip through the parts you feel familiar with. Try some beginner tutorials like the donut to get some overview and then learn how you learn new stuff. Just maybe try to not to think of it as 3ds Max but different. Blender is a very different experience and not looking it as a migration but a new tool might ease the frustrations.

I started with blender and then tried C4D. Never got the hang of it. Familiarity is really a strong factor.

This! Who types full commands?

  err := do_something()
  if (err != nil) {
    return nil, err
  }

  err = do_something_else()
  if (err != nil) {
    return nil, err
  }

  err = do_something_more()
  if (err != nil) {
    return nil, err
  }

So very concise. And this is not even including the error wrapping that is recommended.

There is more to it. To request information you have to have some "legitimate interest" which is not yet defined and sounds like an easy way to not give out information.

Also no more NGOs. They were the ones who had the most power to wrestle information out of the hands of rather unwilling parties. The cost of going to court for this would deter most private persons.

Declaration of intent is a good description. Nothing is decided yet. I don't think the laws are written yet and there was definitely no vote yet.

This looks great. We have a lot of bash tools because it's the only stable interpreter that we have readily available on all our systems. But bash is a pain to write so this might actually make things easier.

Since the whole leap second system will be phased out by 2035 anyways I doubt that anyone will test it. No need to rock the boat over a second.

But LLMs can do it much faster and more consistently.

One problem there is that even if the code is consistent, idiomatic Rust is not the same as idiomatic C.

So either the translation produced Rust code in the "shape" of C code or the code is quite different from the C implementation.

Add to that that you need to have people proficient in Rust and also Postgres as well as the very much unknown codebase as a whole you get a recipe for pain.

I don't think you gain anything. The article is written, it will not be rewritten or unwritten because you said it's written by an LLM. I don't see the author not using LLMs in the future if they did use them.

I don't see how you changed anything by pointing out that you assume that this is written by an LLM. What was gained? I don't really see anything. Do you think anyone is dissuaded from reading the article or from using an LLM the next they write something because you could maybe probably tell that it's probably written by an LLM?

I think we all lose more than we gain if we do this. We look at each other with mistrust over whether they used an LLM and we point fingers as soon as we see a sign of "wrongdoing". I see artists and writers frustrated about being accused of using ML tools. And the people who just use LLMs and image generation tools mostly just don't care.

The whole "AI" industry makes everything diffuse. We have to go by vibes if something is made by a human or not and the signs are ever more subtle. We have to be so incredibly careful not to accuse those who are on our side. People who create real human work.

For me the easiest solution for now is to stop accusing. Unless you know for certain that there was not a real human behind it don't point fingers.

You can't reliably prove that something is written by an LLM. There are certainly tells but it could be a personal writing style as well. When reading everything with the suspicion that it might be written by an LLM you are at best finding LLM written content and at worst accuse people of using an LLM when they haven't. Nothing is gained by the accusation.

For me a better way is to find out if I want to read the text or not. Does is there something interesting being said? Is it presented in a way that is at least pleasant enough to read? Is it concise enough? If not I don't read it. Or I skim it.

Don't misunderstand me. I don't like the overuse LLM generated texts. I write my words on my own. Still there is nothing to be gained from distrusting and calling out authors.

Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. You gain nothing from pointing out every post that seems LLM generated. Read it or don't but we don't make the world better by accusing each other of using LLMs. The only things we increase are mistrust and frustration.

It's not enough to do a rewrite. Someone has to maintain it. Such a huge codebase with literally zero experts is unmaintainable. There is no one who knows how the internals work.

Sure you could keep vibe coding it but I wouldn't bet my data on that. A database needs to be rock solid.

CoD is by Activision. They are owned my Microsoft.

I was always very skeptical of the $300 million figure. It sounded like the same math that the movie industry used for pirating. If I was subscribed to Game Pass I might have downloaded CoD to see what it's about. That doesn't mean I would have paid full price for it.

Why not both?

Airports could potentially be such a place but I admit that this is a bit contrived.

Well I didn't see any counter evidence by Planck so Springer Nature must be right. Otherwise he should defend himself! \s

PostgreSQL is a powerhouse. It has a solution for everything. Especially when you start a project you might be better off just using PostgreSQL instead of a specialized solution. You can optimize it later.

It's for those people that can't wait a second after release. As if the game is any worse if you start playing it a few days later.

I'm rooting for the EU.

VISA has debit cards as well. I have that.

I don't know why but my bank offers a VISA debit card and an EC card. I can use the VISA card on every ATM without fees and it doesn't cost me extra. The EC card has extra fees for when I want to get cash with it. I have seen other banks do the same. I think I heard that this is a VISA thing but maybe I'm wrong or misheard.

True but that doesn't seem to be a thing here.

Germany is different. I don't need cash often but sometimes it's needed.

I don't know how but AFAIK VISA has a contract clause that prohibits the issuing bank from charging their customers fees for using other ATMs.

I hope that they don't fall into the same trap that a lot of EU projects fall in to: only solving one problem.

My VISA card is not only a convenient payment method, it also forces ATM operators to give me cash without any extra fees. In Germany the EC card used to be THE way of paying with a card but you had to go to the ATMs of your bank, otherwise there would be sometimes pretty ridiculous fees. The kicker was that the fees were set by your home bank.

Add to that the ease of use online as well as in shops and it's easy to see that this is not going to be easy. I do root for them though, to do better than Wero.
