Did it stop booming afterwards?

Did you also talk about this: > “Throughout OECD countries, men are much more likely to die from suicide, acute alcohol abuse or a drug overdose – on average, almost 4 men for ever…

But why the did Poland introduce a de-facto abortion ban in early 2021, with terminations only permitted in cases of rape, incest or if there is a threat to the mother's health or …

Wouldn’t „more freedom of expression“ imply less conservative? Or what aspects of conservatism, and what aspects of freedom of expression, are you referring to here?

> What if, when you wanted a new feature in the software you are using, you could just prompt your agent to add it? Yep, that's precisely the vision I formulated some months ago: h…

To be honest, it feels like you are contradicting yourself. If LLMs are, as you stated, really good at catching potential issues, then they are, almost by definition, really good a…

Well, I really wish that anyone, no matter their income level or job description, is immune against murder; or are we just throwing out civilization now?

I also like how they ask the model to work on it for 8 hours; guess asking for more is against labor laws…

If you cannot be bothered with learning our language, and think that being rich somehow makes our country owe you its citizenship — then yeah, maybe Germany isn’t for you.

The article is from 2019.

This is half question, half thought experiment: What exactly is it that makes us think „great, I can delegate coding to the agent, and focus on architecture myself“, instead of „gr…

It has always been my understanding that if talking about homo sapiens sapiens: then if you could „snatch“ a newborn from 200k years ago and raise it just like any other human baby…

I fully agree with the „AI demands more engineering discipline“ premise. And I‘ve quickly realized that it’s also much easier to follow that premise. Not only because agents obviou…

Well it can go in both directions I guess. How to design a system well for the long term is definitely in the training data, and I‘m regularly very content with the suggestions tha…

If I had one unqualified guess free — and boy am I unqualified here — I’d wager it’s those „zero sugar“ stuffs. No way you can just replace (also very very not good for you) sugar …

Crazy. On mobile it’s relatively easy to grab the playhead and scrub back and forth quickly over the full length of the video — this shows how the face movements are totally repeti…

I think the main difference, and the angle that makes your approach much more feasible, is that what users of your solution build fully lives „outside“ the core application that th…

What if software shipped with a software engineer? https://manuel.kiessling.net/2025/11/04/what-if-software-shi...

Just bought this one from a Japanese eBay dealer with many very good reviews, so fingers crossed no scam: https://www.ebay.de/itm/147282358614 Yes, you will pay more than the origi…

You probably have other stuff on your mind right now, thus I can understand if you are not in the mood for answering, but I‘m too curious to not ask: According to the Reuters artic…

This is only a tangential question, but anyway: I‘ve read several years ago that since around Photoshop version 4, 99% of the work is about keeping the application UI usable with a…

Reading only the parts of the post that are not about AI does not instill the sense that Mr Armstrong is the kind of person who would hesitate to say that people are let go because…

You‘ve got mail.

Yeah but imagine yourself lying on the floor with your vision being your only sense, plus an info floating in your mind: „fyi, you are no longer upright“. That’s all, you feel noth…

What was eye-opening, or rather, sobering for me was when I read an interview with an engineer who explained how incredible difficult it is for a robot to orient itself when it is …
