Isn't it better to use an LLM to train modernbert or xgboost et al?

Exit strategies produce this kind of dead bodies. Bending Spoons is just an Italian Dr Frankenstein.

Grow first profit later is likely to end like this.

Waiting it out was the first strategy in Europe but it's clearly moving into something else.

Since you're an idiot or fired if you point at this, just collect the money man.

It's their money. They want to do stupid things? So be it.

That would be lovely but seems people really really want to be in the same places I am.

This year just called defeat and I'm moving out to the countryside, hopefully. My city had almost no tourist three years ago and now I had to shout twice to a tourist guide for using a very loud speaker in the very street I live in.

Just today I saw a 1 start review in a place I really like, by a german lady that was baffled waiters didn't even try to speak english to her.

It's just impossible to fight this. Guess we'll have to make our nice place elsewhere until tourists find out.

IME it's impossible to fight this people. They have to learn through consequences. There's no other way.

Guys just go and ride it.

It's their money. They decided to do this. They think you guys are stupid.

Suck. Them. Dry.

Or say goodbay, which is what I did on my previous role when the BS started to get obvious.

Now I do LLM-assisted coding on my own terms. I decide what to do, review output and push back agains overengineered BS.

But I'm a lucky one, as far as I can see.

NO-ONE is going to be able to understand the the amount of slop created by unchecked LLMs.

The path we're going forward is very clear, given how rapidly top-tier software has been degrading when they decided to pressure devs into this stupidity.

Given the price I don't really think they're the best option. They're sloppy and competitors are catching up. I'm having same results with other models, and very close with Kimi, which is waaay cheaper.

I use both Linux and Macos, and I'd like to get rid of xcode or have something like Nautilus.

There are many, many things that are completely normal in Linux that are super clunky in MacOS at best.

But at least try to match Nautilus or Thunar ffs.

Scaleway, OVH, Exoscale, Clouding, Upcloud...

I did something similar to a local company here in Spain. Not medical, but a small insurance company. Believe it or not, yes, they vibecoded their CRM.

I sent them an email and they threatened to sue me. I was a bit in shock from such dumb response, but I guess some people only learn the hard way, so I filed a report to the AEPD (Data protection agency in Spain) for starters, known to be brutal.

I've also sent them a burofax demanding the removal of my data on their systems just last friday.

You can get the same with kilo gateway without the fee.

Is it possible we see this spreading to ishares products?

Spain also runs in a constant deficit and they are emitting debt to cover operational expenses.

The pension system is the elephant in the room.

You'd be better even In France. I'm here in Spain watching this closely, as this would be over for me.

Now we compete with the whole world. I don't see much "resting in its laurels" nowadays. Have you traveled across Europe the last decade?

There's no resting, just a declive.

Europe and the EU are two different things. The EU is already having it's own credibility crisis inside the EU, and there are already heavy pushes for reform.

The conversation is completely different in Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain, for example.

The EU has enacted pretty stupid policies but I don't think the status quo was about to last a lot. Now with the Greenland issue things are about to speed up.

My guess is that, because they shaked hands with conservative leaders in Europe, the White house thinks this is going to benefit them.

I don't think this is going to be the case mid term.

What I wonder is about the second order effects. I mean, I'm pretty far from Denmark but here the talk is pretty much like an existential crisis.

Even if the US does nothing about it, seems that many people has finally realized that Europe has no allies.

This has a lot of implications regarding the Pax Americana, the US/EU financial system, Eurasia, and many others.

I don't see any positive outcome for the west in general. Europe in particular is screwed but besides short-term gains I don't think the US is going to be able to sustain anything but very fragile and transactional alliances, if any.

US already has access to Greenland. It has bases, they can expand if they want, and they even may be able to extract natural resources from it (don't know the current status). This is completely unnecessary from a military/resources standpoint.

From my POV trust in the US is already completely broken, and people is pretty worried.

Some of the MAGA people seem to say that that's exactly what they want, to make Europe wake up and take care of itself. Which is a good thing from my POV as Europe as an entity has been doing pretty bad decisions, and some of the european countries too (I think Trump was right about the nordstream).

Now, what I don't think americans understand is that Europe is not the memes they see in the Internet. Europe is not just a bunch of lefties shitting on the US, in fact we consume US products and services, we pour enormous amounts of money into US financial markets, US has plenty of bases here, there's a lot of intel exchange, etc.

I wonder if americans understand what pushing Europe into survival mode means. In, maybe, sooner than 20 years the Pax Americana will be completely over. US will have no allies (Who? Latin America, with only transactional ties due to shared history? Rusia, with a decaying pop and GDP closer to Italy?) and you'll fail to deter China from becoming the global power.

Because I guess nobody in the US believes China will just sit and watch, right?

If it wasn't for China, this would be the world order Dugin et al wanted. If democrats weren't right about Trump being a Putin puppet, they were pretty close.

I've got two laptop in my new job. They sent me a windows one, when I asked for a linux one. Had to set up the laptop to begin working.

Honestly, I had to do a lot of workarounds to get comfy. There's annoying stuff I cannot uninstall.

There's AI in Teams to. I wanted to use it to recolect info from my chats but apparently it's unable to do so.

Starlabs is pretty close IMO

My experience too. They are so convinced that AI is magical that pushing back makes you look bad.

Then things don't turn out as they expected and you have to deal with a dude thinking his engineers are messing with him.

It's just boring.

I have about +2 years of experience in this field. Had a bunch of freelance experiences and I'm joining my second job next week.

I moved from my previous job partly because this blind faith in AI, "with Cursor this bug shouldn't be more than 15 minutes". I just got tired of this.

Next job is in consultancy. Don't like moving from product to consultancy, but turns out the client is on the ISP field and don't want to hear anything about AI.

This isn't what I like either. AI has it's use cases and I actually find it useful, as augmentation of my capabilities. But at least is not blind faith.

I made the career change from IT support to software. I'm already 37, and I'm wondering if I took the worst timing ever. I don't like what I'm seeing around. I don't like the interviews I had till I landed this one.

I wonder if I joined the field just when its most big enshitification push arrived. Salaries lowering, completely broken interview process, burned out seniors left and right, no pipeline to us newcomers, etc.

Not sure if this is the place I want to be at 37, but at least I have the life experience to navigate this with a bit of philosophy, because the youngsters I've known along the way are really scared.

I don't understand this article. This a completely solved problem.

Solar is just another component in the grid. Attach solar to the grid if you want, the trains to the grid too.

Like all the countries with electrified railed do.

Electrifying trains with only solar seems a bit stupid IMO, but who am I compared to tech firms betting on electrification.

Because now your manager will measure on LOCs against other engineers again and it's only software engineers worrying about complexity, maintainability, and, in summary, the health of the very creature it's going to pay your salary.

This is the new world we live in. Anyone who actually likes coding should seriously look for other venues because this industry is for other type of people now.

I use AI in my job. I went from tolerable (not doing anything fancy) to unbearable.

I'm actually looking to become a council employee with a boring job and code my own stuff, because if this is what I have to do moving forward, I rather go back to non-coding jobs.

Well, the navy has been trying to make Navantia take the blame for quite a while.

So finaly It isn't Navantia's fault, they fucked up.

- Searching for a guide on say a car infotainment system would be totally different here from someone explaining in the USA or germany. Now I see a ton of titles in my language, only to find out it's information is completely useless to me because a menu, button or whatever doesen't even exist.

This is so annoying. I can't believe they couldn't understand this, and there are many multilingual people.

Haven't tried Up loud, but I can see their offering is way smaller in terms of services.

Most people rarely needs more than compute + dbaas though.
