Have only had a quick look at it, but it looks very nicely done! Out of interest, did you use AI to assist with development? If yes, what percentage of the code would you say is AI generated vs conventional?

I don't think they're attacking you, but suggesting you read more carefully. The information provided is correct and clear, but you need to let go of your own biases when consuming it.

I personally prefer the M to the B. I guess as an engineer, noticing the units comes pretty naturally.

I found the same with a number of LLMs playing scrabble. Absolute gibberish coming out of them. Almost better off getting it to design a proper scrabble engine, and then play against that!

No doubt that AI is useful, but not generally useful for everything.

The Vax runs this?!

What's VMS?

We live in a world where, for certain topics, people believe whatever narrative suits them at the time. Facts seem to not matter too much. Brexit is one of those topics.

Exactly. A marginally higher image ISO at one location vs a lower ISO at another could potentially have a similar effect, and it would be quite difficult to detect.

The finance minister was paraded round the streets of Nepal in his underwear and badly beaten. Do you consider that controlled?

Some are more controversial than others. Some also seem to enjoy controversy more than others.

A great piece of software that makes my and my dev team's life infinitely better and easier. A big thank you to the QEMU developers :)

How so? You said my comment was ridiculous because I was implying stupidity or a lack of evolution in the general sense, but my comment concerned the evolution of their humility, not their evolution in general. My last comment simply clarified that.

A less evolved sense of humility (as I originally put it) does not equate to stupid. They are far from stupid - they are ruthless consumers of every scrap of advantage they can get, including the best education, food, clothes to name but a few things. They believe they deserve that advantage.

In fact, they see the person who can't afford lunch as stupid - after all, an intelligent person should at least be able to get lunch - it's so easy! What they don't realise is how much each person is impacted by their own starting position in life (which, I believe to be random), and how that in turn impacts where they are now.

Many "privileged" people lack empathy, because they believe the tables can never turn. They don't even want to entertain the thought. They believe their privilege is a birthright. In some cases, they are probably correct; they will enjoy privilege for their entire lives. But in exceptional circumstances, they will be caught out, and their opinion will undoubtedly change.

So, it's not stupidity, it is willful ignorance. History is full of such examples, some more chilling and devastating than others.

SNI means?

Genuine question: is that a good or bad thing?

Yeah, but that rarely lasts (I am assuming the absence of corruption etc etc). If you set the bar so low with your product that it's easy to outperform by a 10x margin, then you present your customers with a huge incentive to move away.

Yes, plus the ever shifting deadlines make me think this is all being somewhat rushed, to finally deliver what they promised ages ago. I personally don't want to use tech like this if it has been rushed. Realistic deadlines with a smooth landing and stable narrative are what you need to inspire confidence.

Cyber truck build quality was also a red flag, suggesting that pthe company lacks rigor.

Good you walked away. In my experience, the heavy lifting in a tech start up is, by definition, the tech. The "idea guys" rarely understand that it's the execution that makes an idea valuable.

Sales are important, but are a bit of a crapshoot. You can't consistently sell trash, no matter how good a salesperson you are. The guy was happy to roll the dice, while using your mental energy. Great deal for him, but not so good for you. You risk the burnout, stress and pressure, while he feeds you requirements and deadlines, and essentially becomes your manager.

In my younger days I got a lot of similar proposals, but thankfully could see right through them from day one. Bootstrapping as a solo founder was the harder, but ultimately more rewarding route for me.

The reluctance to use LiDAR boggles the mind. The rationale provided by Elon is also questionable (humans don't use it, so we shouldn't need to either).

The cars themselves are nothing special at best, and given the political shenanigans the CEO is pulling, it really will turn a lot of people off trusting anything associated with him.

PNC = police national computer, I believe. It's helpful when less well known acronyms are expanded.

In a lot of cases, the companies leverage a large chunk of their employees' time to make very hefty returns. It's the least they can do. As someone who runs a company now (having been an employee previously), it is obvious to me that the cost of providing food is a rounding error in the overall company budget, and is well worth it, if it keeps people happy.

So you propose any invaded territory just concedes to prevent nuclear war? Would your opinion be the same if it was your homeland that was invaded?

Also, it's not clear what you're getting at... perhaps you can elaborate on your thinking?

Certainty of war now Vs a potential nuclear war tomorrow? Are those really the only choices as far as you're concerned?

Is it not obvious? Unless you're deliberately ignoring world events, what in the last few weeks could make you think they're the good guys?!

Safer? Do you mean the opposite?

I heard 2 per day, especially if on a meat free diet.

I can't make sense of your first sentence. Can you rephrase it please?

Gulf of where?! /s

Wow, that's really quite something!

What do you remember of the day you were born? How did you validate your memories?
