Much better?
The main issue i see is the euro as a single currency. Individual nations cannot modulate their monetary policy according to their needs.
Most other stuff is okay.

Speaking with him was essentially like speaking with cursor, sometimes literally: in a call with him, he would type my questions about their work into cursor, he would wait for cursor to spit out a reply and then read it out loud. All while sharing the screen.
The real issue is no brain involvement. He had a couple of initiatives assigned to him that failed repeatedly because cursor told him to do a/b/c and he would trust cursor blindly.
A waste of money if you ask me.
I think there are much more important issues that should deserve money and attention.
they are still better. better than previous gen, essentially better than competition.
only the latest intel cpu are beginning to get "comparable" with previous m-series cpu.
From https://twitter.now/about/ :
> People should be able to speak, disagree, debate, create, and challenge ideas.
I'm fine with this as long as it applies equally for left wing and right wing. Old Twitter was the cesspool where you could get banned for questioning the woke propaganda but somebody else could easily post things like "eat the rich" and "kill white people".
Considering how much better m-series CPUs are, i’d say actually keep thinking different.
I'd love to start monitoring my glucose level, but i'd like to have the data in my own database so that maybe i can correlate that with other things.
This might become the driver for memory and chips demand in the near future.
But i don’t know, of course, we’ll i guess.
Unless some other breakthrough in AI happens, like applying AI to some other large market.
Overall i think that AI is here to stay, if anything it will become more common.
Maybe in ten years we’ll all have some 256gb ai machine at home, like we most (all?) of us have AC.
What’s the point?
Fir kinda the first time in my life I don’t really have development tools on my personal laptop. I ghostty and openvpn client installed.
I have a large remote linux workstation (2x 8c/16t xeon cpus, 256gb ram, 2x8tb spinning rust disk) and i have my tools over there (along with some VMs).
It works surprisingly well.
Also, the macbook neo is a surprisingly capable little machine.
is it only me or this sounds crazy evil?
on one hand: no, absolutely not, hell no.
on the other hand: these people are voluntarily doing human sperimentation. things like this are going to happen anyway so we might as well collect the data (samples, effect etc). it's not much different from the safe needles initiatives.
it's not a sv-only thing.
but what if I don't what to hack my hardware? what if instead for me my hardware is just a tool i use from time to time to open my banking stuff, send/receive email to keep in touch with friends, watch movies and in my spare time i do other stuff?
what if instead of hacking my hardware i want to go swimming, or take care of my garden, or cook or play the piano?
articles like this make me chuckle nowadays because we in the tech industry assume most people are like us. they aren't. for them computers are just a tool. the less they get nagged by their tools, the better.
unironically, that's why apple has so much success. apple's hardware is as far as you can get from hackability. they fix in place a lot of degrees of freedom (both in hardware and in software) and in exchange you get tools that work very well and very reliably.
the author of this post should really touch grass more often.
(i know i'll be downvoted for writing this, i don't care).
eh, i kinda disagree on this. in the era of information being so abundant there's so much you can learn on your own.
sure you won't become a surgeon but there are so many other things you can learn and get a job.
and this is true even without having AI in the picture.
I’m Italian and in all my university experience i tool all my exams in person, simple pen and paper. Some professors would require an additional in person oral examination as well, depending on the course.
Passing an exam through at-home assignments alone was sci-fi for us.
you don't need that, you can use an acp (agent-client protocol) client like agent-shell - https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell
I've tried it with cursor and it works okay.

Unironcally, yesterday i was vibe-coding a small app for personal use using Django and was quite shocked to discover that Django's orm does not support something as simple as specifying a database schema other than the default "public" one out of the box.
You either have to add options specific from libpq:
DATABASES = {
"default": {
"ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
"NAME": "mydatabase",
"USER": "myuser",
"PASSWORD": "mypassword",
"HOST": "localhost",
"PORT": "5432",
"OPTIONS": {
"options": "-c search_path=myapp,public",
},
}
}
ALTER ROLE myuser
IN DATABASE mydatabase
SET search_path = myapp, public;
A single vm, 8 cpu cores and 64gb memory, using ssd disks on a local vmware cluster.
It worked okay but:
1. Was only exposed to the corporate network and some vpn connections
2. We did the upgrades late at night once every like six months, taking a snapshot of the whole thing from vmware side before touching anything
It worked pretty well and was relatively low maintenance. Frankly a very pleasant experience.
I’m using github and bitbucket at work nowadays and frankly i miss that experience, both as an user and as an administrator.
Edit: btw i left that job and that gitlab installation in 2022, no idea how things changed in the meantime.
