I think the author means if it happens regularly, and asking people to stop doesn't work or marks you as a dangerous dissident. Obviously, it is wrong to quit in response to one person doing something stupid

I don't know about you, but occasionally going outside to breathe some fresh air makes a lot of difference for me

I feel like the real takeaway should be "don't make a competition out of a technical discussion". A culture that doesn't allow openly debating technical decisions sounds like one I wouldn't want to be part of.

Good UX makes you achieve your goals on a website faster. It implies that the website has a purpose apart from spending your time on it. If it has no such purpose, and yet people are spending a lot of time there, it's probably addictive

Yeah, we are not talking about ecological impact of France enough

Uh-oh

Small songbirds apparently

So far it's only US doing this. I don't think it's in anyone else's interest to limit development of open source models or chips. Nvidia has secured a leading position in GPU market by being the best overall, but if US continues to mess up with the export, that changes the calculation and surely we'll see the alternatives

With every interview process you say "yes" only once and "no" many times. Where there are a lot of candidates, then many more times, while spending less time on each candidate. There is no way to design a process that will not leave the majority of candidates disappointed - as soon as they are up front with the amount of work you'll need to do, it sounds ethical to me

Yeah, but I've also appreciated the symbolism much more as an angsty teen than as an adult.

The best part about Tolstoy is how he depicts the intricacies of human relationships, and that's a thing most people cannot appreciate until they hit like 30

I dunno, I feel like Dostoevsky hits perfectly around high school. I enjoyed Crime and Punishment around 9th grade, but tried read some Dostoevsky as an adult, and it really reads like young adult luterature.

I only learned to appreciate Tolstoy as an adult though - it was extremely boring for me as a teenager barring some smaller pieces

Absolutely. Either you use LLMs and tolerate unreliability or you are writing proper reliable software yourself

That's a huge stretch. Age verification is a worrying, but a wordwide trend, several US states introduced it as well.

The first country to introduce it was Australia, which is only related to Europe by participating in Eurovision

China doesn't allow foreign social media on their territory at all. US had one for a short time, then panicked and forced them to sell. EU can neither buy American platforms, nor does it want to build a great firewall of Europe, so it's trying to find other ways to get in control

EU doesn't have enough money to just buy the competition

That's not lobbyism, that's straight corruption. Lobbyism is, at least in theory, about convincing politicians

Obama making an account on Twitter is a marketers' success. Twitter became popular first, politicians wanted to appear there second.

WSocial just went to politicians directly,it's not known by general public. Good news is, it rarely helps with commercial success

Not marketers, lobbyists

Practically, if you choose a big enough server, it's rarely a problem. mastodon.social is the most popular one, maintained by Mastodon the non-profit itself.

Biggest turn off and a killer feature depending on who you ask is a lack of Algorithm. That's why people who move away from Twitter feel disoriented, but people who were never on Twitter in the first place are alright.

Terry Tao, Bert Hubert, Michal Zalewski (lcamtuf), Bunny Huang are just a few in my feed. But Mastodon is more about peer-to-peer communication than celebrities farming engagement indeed.

No signs of enshittification either so far, barely any new features being added TBH

There is no reliable data on how many of these jobs shouldn't exist at all, even without AI

Does it ever end though?

Try translating some prose from English to another language, then, in a different model, back to English

Yeah, they created a team that accomplished something (or a team that created a team), so it's well-deserved.

Are there other companies? Where you are submitting PRs that solve no known problem?

Who gets a sense of accoplishment from prompting an LLM? Do you get a sense of accomplishment when AI draws a picture or writes a poem for you? I guess there are some minds I'll never be able to comprehend

I would use strategic nukes in 100% simulations, just because I can

Still I can't think of an event where Swiss cops would be able to collect similar footage.

There are people with cardboard signs, and there are BLM protests or occupy Wall Street. Can't remember when the last disruptive protests were in Switzerland, but in Germany I'd say tame protests are the norm and disruptions are an exception

Search has degraded for sure, but still better than anything else? Maps - I guess you mean Apple ones are better? Can't tell, I am not on Apple, but if you don't use Apple products, there are not many alternatives to Google maps
