Roughly two years ago suddenly Hassabis was heavily promoted on all Google YouTube channels. It was to fight ChatGPT and promote Gemini. I think the guy does a very poor job or is …

You made my day. As tragic as it reads, it is on point.

I registered my first domain 1997 and before that already coded websites: members.aol.com/…/ I saw the inception of CSS, the infamous ACID test, IE6, web standards movement - anyth…

Off topic: Just some thx and kudos to you guys. I used Promptpoo at the beginning of the year - it was exactly, what I needed, very much still a niche thing hardly anyone was using…

I understand Codeberg's standpoint. From their point of view I think it is only reasonable to sticking to your guns as well as mentioning, that at the end of the day there is no fr…

I agree with you. Victimhood par excellence: "My brain is a 200+ IQ machine desperately waiting for input. However, I cannot feed it! It is the walls, I guess." It should be legall…

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong here. Math is something humans invented and is a model, nothing else. There is no logic per se, but a model that works quite well for us. I studied …

Hm, I use Facebook twice a year, to thank folks for my b-day greetings and for checking my account. Some with Insta. I am not the least addicted to it. I suspended TikTok, because …

I’m with you on this, though I feel a conflict within myself: on one hand, the nostalgic attachment to that raw, "in-the-trenches" coding culture; on the other, the realization tha…

I had a glimpse at your posting. What exactly were you looking for? APIs? Here is a hint: quite many companies need a certificated provider who not only is certified but also has -…

If you have a large important financial service to maintain and develop, and such a code basis is part of your backend, I guarantee you that you won't think twice to simply rely on…

I think that over long developers will desperately be needed to handle AI. In my experience, within weeks now concepts written in stone get shattered and the next paradigm has to b…

As someone who worked as forum member and even hosted his own very successful forum during the 2000-2015 years - it is so much work in a one sided system. It is a one to many relat…

I side with you and can share another crazy story: Between 2018 and 2020, I lived in a newly built, 90-square-meter rental apartment in Germany. It was luxurious, had a fire-rated …

To put it mildly: the reasons why I consider leaving the continent for good are growing and counting - not over decades, but rapidly over years and month. A/C is one reason. I boug…

I cannot remember when I started using is, but I remember that at first there was only IntelliJ which could be modified via Plugins to be used for PHP and HTML, JavaScript anyway. …

I disagree. I think you are contradicting yourself. If a previous work has been copy and pasted, and a novel reader doesn't know, wouldn't the reader benefit from the option to act…

Then the old Sony Ericssons would be her best option I think. They were the ultimate in to small for my fingers, couldn't stand it. Still the best form factor has the iPhone 4 in m…

Exactly. Noise cancelling is a treasure. And what I really like about them is the ease of use. The moment I start talking to someone, automagically the NC is paused as well as any …

Yahoo has its moment. Maybe this is new to folks not being active in the internet during the 90th, but essentially search engines were partly simply link catalogs, curated mostly l…

Like a Warren Buffet. Same house, same car, or Ray Kroc: Look after the customer, and the business will take care of itself.

You made my day. Everything is said and explained there. Ok, sometimes a more vivid and visually explanatory style would help, but here still Google is your friend for individual c…

I think that the smartphone is the single worst thing to happen, not so much AI. AI will hopefully help deal with reckless people typing in their smartphones while driving etc. Mak…
