We know very little about how psychological drugs work in general. Having to try multiple things to find one that works well for you is par for the course

No, it can't. It's going to be an interesting legal challenge.

Also, the European Court of Justice has, to the best of my knowledge, not ruled on this yet, either. The fact fight isn't over.

there's no way for it to tell the button to cancel the color change

No, but what should happen in cases like that is that the on-click handler disables the button while it is unresponsive. This will communicate the fact that the button is unresponsive visually to the user and also inhibit the button-was-pressed feedback.

You're being sarcastic, but...

I guess that's why I burned out as a manager: I do not get a sense of accomplishment when my team achieves something

No fluff, just the document in a shape the target audience expects

I see what you did there

Gaaa. Those short sentences. The style. Has this article been written by AI? I can't stand it any more.

An AI-driven sensor activates and wall emitters blast infrasound waves toward the source of the fire in an attempt to put it out

What, exactly, is the role of AI in this context?

always the poor specs

But that is fundamentally what agile is about. It's not about coding faster, it's the recognition that the specs are incomplete or wrong because fundamentally, a lot of customers cannot tell you what the want until they see it. That's why "build something simple and iterate on it" works. Regardless of how good your spec is, once the coding is done the customer is going to realise that that's not what they actually wanted.

This shows, once more, that humans are bad with modes. You have two copies of the repo, one in a transaction and one not in a transaction.

The problem is that the thing you use to build the transaction can also be used to directly manipulate the DB. A better API design would be to separate those two things.

The people using GenAI reap a major time and cognitive effort savings, but the task of verification is shifted to the maintainer.

The people using GenAI should be the ones doing the verification. The maintainer's job should not meaningfully change (other than the maintainer using AI to review on incoming code, of course).

Why does everyone who hears "AI code" automatically think "vibe-coded"?

1 and 2 are really only an issue if you vibe code. There's no reason to expect properly reviewed AI assisted code to be any worse than human written code. In fact, in my experience, using LLMs to do a code review is a great asset - of used in addition to human review

So, that would make this GNU/Windows

Remember when OpenAI was about not-for-profit AI development for the betterment of humanity?

Disabled does not mean you need a caregiver

I think you are confusing rings with discs. Larry Niven is the one doing the spinning

There is also a parallel legal reality - that people have the right to free speech.

The right to free speech only means you can't be prosecuted for what you say. It does not compel any private entity to distribute everything that you want to say.

Those are your basic rights: You entered into a contract with the airline, and the airline failed to deliver. Of course you get your money back if the alternative solution is not satisfactory - whether or not the ticket was refundable doesn't even enter into it, as it was the airline that failed to deliver in the first place. That's not stellar service, that's just fulfilling their legal obligations.

I'm always so confused by the advice to go to bookstores to meet people. What kind of bookstores do you guys go to where the customers talk with each other?

Count me among those who don't see the problem. I believe that there are people who are upset by it, but that alone does not justify prohibiting it.

Slippery slope to where, exactly? I genuinely don't see it

Card counting isn't cheating, it's how you play card games.

All Chinese cars I've seen for sale here so far had infotainment systems and pointless use of touch screens.

It's a bit larger, more in the range of the 777 than the 787.

Roughly, it used to be A330 vs 767 and A340 vs 777, the A330 and the 777 were the winners in these segments. The 787 was built to beat the A330, and it did, and the A350 was built to beat the 777, and it might.

Airbus reacted to the 787 with a re-engined A330, the A330neo, which was not a great success, but not a total flop. Boeing re-engined and enlarged the 777 to create the 777X, whose smaller variant positioned against the A350 is a slow seller, but whose larger variant, which has no direct competitor, has seen some sales - if Boeing manages to get it out of the door, the program is again hugely delayed and over budget.

I am surprised again and again that people are surprised that animals, and social ones at that, have thoughts and emotions and relationships. Have you never been around animals? Do you truly have believe humans are that special?

You would be surprised how many companies don't allow you to work part time, period.

Maybe, if this will be used in the future, those can help balance the power grid while not in use

NIO are already doing at least part of that by charging the batteries during time of excess energy only

Yes, we let anybody reduce their work week to 80% - for 80% pay, of course.

I thought that was cultural. There are cultures that don't talk to babies at all.
