Why is there such a narrow world view apparent on HN as to suggest that this is only a good quality for a human to have? It's a good quality for almost anything to have!

Never knew Bengal cats were such an issue in some countries. We had two a few years ago, they were the most adorable creatures.

I just gave the crazy man a lot of money knowing he wants to start a holy war. I did not want him to fund this particular holy war that turned out to be disadvantageous to me!

Didn't expect to see the 180B model running on two 3090s so fast. The open model space is moving crazy fast, improvements like always remind me of Google's 2023 memo 'We Have No Moat', which looks to be more right every day.

I keep thinking the exact same thing every time I'm asked to peer review a paper.

Every project I've ever worked on - sans two at IBM post Red Hat acquisition - had legacy style Javaboxes at the customer's DC or was still rocking mainframe DB2 stuff. I'm seeing bare-metal Kubernetes / OpenShift gaining a stronger foothold though. Rarely, some specific workloads did run on Azure - never anything critical though.

For context, I do mainly development work for EU enterprises and the public sector.

I remember when sideloading referred to running `adb sideload` for installing applications from a remote host. The Android modding community has been scattered to the winds of time, it seems.

For what it's worth, please do not go for a dip in the Danube river proper here in Vienna, the currents are too dangerous for bathing and there is no official bathing spot anywhere for this reason. Instead, visit our other waters such as the lakes of the Old Danube or the high-water protection side-arm New Danube.

That could have been produced after the fact, and even if i.e. a scanned version were provided with an eIDAS-compliant qualified electronic timestamp, it can still be argued that the student just wrote LLM output down.

I never knew that this is not illegal everywhere. In Austria, this has been illegal for as long as I can think.

We learned about how the Gutenberg Press physically worked, how it was based on wine presses and how difficult it supposedly was to produce a single metal letter. Also, how it was a PITA to re-arrange them to print something else, alas it was mostly used to print the Bible.

In my school curriculum here in Vienna, this was very specifically taught in history class.

Exoptable Money.

What a load of bullshit. Don't reduce human willpower and autonomy down to "hurr, durr, muh gut microbiome made me consume the slop". Of course you can refuse to give in to cravings.

The fix is easy and ubiquitous. You host your own artifact repository and docker registry. This also makes sure your supply chain remains easily auditable.

Truly, there is no honor among thieves.

In Austria, there is the concept of "Amtsbekanntheit", meaning if the government officer knows you, that's also valid proof of identity.

Czechia, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Portugal, Croatia, etc. pp.

You assume that bay area technology jobs are the norm. They seem, as far as I can tell, to be the absolute anomaly in the U.S.

Tiger insurance seems very necessary for e. g. retail, restaurant, construction etc. workers in the U.S., as they seem to be disproportionally targeted by tigers and earn next to nothing.

Everyone deserves to be treated fairly, even if they don't live in California and know how to programm.

> “We don’t mind losing customers” Former Oracle CEO on their unwavering support for Israel.

They'll be fine.

Yes. Had.

In Europe it was the norm far longer than in the U.S.A.

That is totally incorrect for many parts of Europe. Pre-paid anonymous sim cards were used by the majority of mobile users until very recently.

> do you really believe they don't know what you do on your personal internet connection linked to your name and payment data?

Many people in the Western Europe used, until very recently, prepaid anonymous mobile data cards that they recharged monthly with charging vouchers paid for in cash.

All this ended in the last 5 - 10 years. The U.S.-American corporate glass citizen slave mentality is actually a little tad bit new here, thus the outrage.

Only because anglo-style curb cuts are designed horribly. In Austria, they are unobtrusive add-ons to the sidewalk instead of literally obstructing the sidewalk.

My conclusion, as always, is that U.S.-Americans and Brits do not walk. Otherwise these design choices do not make any sense.

Who is "we"? Do you work somewhere that specialises in the curb cut effect? Would love to hear more about your organization.

Yeah. In many countries, EMS is also heavily volunteer-based.

> [...] but only if my boss and the company decided to be real jerks about it. Another reason not to work for jerks if you can avoid it.

Worker protection rights in the U.S.A. truly are seen as a joke.

This is a lie. Joseph Biden pardoned Francis W. Biden, James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, John T. Owens and Valerie Biden Owens among many, many other dubious choices.

The U.S.A. is the embodiment of crony capitalism.

I never understood why you can't just take any random European country where ones company also has a presence and stick to the (government mandated) vacation time there, usually 5-6 weeks p.a. - is this considered unacceptable in the U.S.A.?
