Then what is it? DuckDuckGo?

I know this may be my poor English, but, ignoring the main point of the article, something I find tangentially troubling about the issue is that Gemini does not mention the possiblity of Dario dead. Like, if I were a lonely person who has lost someone and the only "thing" I can talk to is Gemini, would I have to say Dario was unalived or something?

Or is it just my bad English?

I think you're drinking the "technology is apolitical and will solve all our problems" American-drink-I-ve-never-seen.

We've seen what can be done with the magical technologies of today, like misinformation abd mass surveillance. I think it's naive to assume self driving technology won't be used badly, specially when car infrastructure is already a "political" topic, having impact in city planning, budgets and stuff.

I remember this video by CGP Grey where the guy says like when all cars are self-driving cars everything will be perfect.

I remember, in 2016, liking the video, then time passed, went to Europe, and saw the actual solution to the problem. And now, in 2026, I see a bunch of comments in the video in the same vein.

Or to lobby to make sure driving is an inalienable right. Which path are you seeing being realized in the US?

> AI coding has created a strange inversion: writing code is becoming cheap, while understanding what all that code will do together is becoming expensive

I'm pretty sure it has always been that way. Isn't that the reason for the whole field of Software Engineering?

Soon enough we will see rowing machines rated in max TFLOPS.

You know, there are more countries than the US.

> This is why Hebrew's alphabet near-perfectly phonetically represents the spoken language

Wasn't Hebrew dead for like 2000 years or something until the Israeli state was set up? Not hard to have a faithful alphabet when your spoken language is frozen in time. Hell, even evolving languages, like Spanish, can have somewhat phonetically accurate alphabets. As said in the other comment, English is more of an exception in that regard.

Sorry, I was just joking. Remember, it was 2019, you know, a hundred years ago, when they talked about a "mysterious virus from China. I remember the times of the swine flu, around 2009, then reading the news and thinking "meh, it will probably be something like that". Big mistake.

It's like chai tea.

What's next, a virus from China? Such a fuss for nothing.

You know, like all the other booms.

I love that the first thing I see in the website (at least on mobile) is "Approved for exams", as if there was some other reason one would be forced to buy those pieces of garbage.

Oh, that so sad, can someone please think of the fascist grifters?

Very offtopic, but:

> raising beef

Is that cows? English isn't my first language, so I thought beef was the word just for the meat, with all Normans eating while Saxons raising thing.

It depends on the project, I think. If your side project is a thing you hope it will make you a millionaire, sure, AI all the way. But if your side project is a just a cool thing or a learning experience, I would say the exact opposite. I would expect $JOB to be very time-constrained and vibecoding-friendly (maybe even too friendly) whereas your side-project should be all artisanal free-range code.

Still has a gigantic blocking ad on mobile

If you really want to share it, how about torrenting it?

Ah yes, the Landman argument.

I don't know if music in a new language works so well. Lots of songs have, like, "forced" slang or even changes in pronunciation or syllable stress to meet the constraints of the lyrics. In my country I see lots of people that only listen to music in English but don't have any grasp of it.

Instead, I would go with cartoons or children/preteen's shows first. In adult shows, even when not R-rated, characters usually speak way too fast, or, what is most common, the voices are not mixed very clearly, unlike cartoons.

What worked for me best (for English) was watching Disney movies, the same ones I watched in Spanish.

> She was great, 60 years old at the time and had us repeat the lyrics of Rammstein songs in class, her favorite band

This is hilarious, like "Now, kids, repeat after me, 'te quiero puta'"

> Joel Spolsky said (I'm paraphrasing) that everybody only uses 20% of a given program's features, but the problem is that everyone is using a different 20%, so you can't ship an "unbloated" version and expect it to still work for most people.

I remember reading something like this while talking about developing in C++.

I remember this case the one who put "Actually Indians" in my mind. What other instances do you know?

(Not to refute your point, of course, I am just curious)

I'm talking about the tv show, not the games.

Problem is, these kinds of media end up pushing nostalgia for a warped version of an old time. It's like anything based in the 50s or 60s in USA and is not full of racism. My go-to example these days is the Fallout tv show.

That said, you actually can create something positive set in that time while also portraying the bad. For instance, in Bill Burr's F Is For Family.

My thoughts exactly. The OP used AI to get a starting point to their investigation, then used their skills to improve their game, with actual (I guess according to the article itself) proof of that, as opposed to just approving changes from the LLM.

This looks like an actual productivity boost with AI.

China, Russia, USA in <current year>

Empires have always had poor people in their capitals. I guess the effect was more pronounced back then because the industrial revolution was also happening.

I think embedded software would be like the anti-case for OP's idea. It's a resource-constrained environment, and you also cannot upgrade things easily, so the "replaceable" parts of the software become nothing.

Finally, I can drink my yerba mate and not be dismissed as a researcher.

> 0 regrets

That's the most important number in stores like this one.

Not American, not a Brit here. Care to explain?
