I've been trying to figure out how to make money with trading for years (and I _might_ be getting closer, now). Trading is the only way to make money I can think of where you don't…

I mean... Not that many. I've watched a few documentaries and there are barely a handful of houses let's say in Death Valley. And Death Valley is a lot more hospitable than Mars. T…

Why would anyone want to move to Mars? It's like moving to a desert.

I can't remember of any product in my lifetime that was more over hyped than AI. It's a huge piece of shit and if I wasn't forced to use it at work I would never use it. It writes …

Yes. Bootstrap and all other CSS frameworks before Tailwind did it, too. It's a matter of preference, but many times it's easier to have single classes so that all your buttons are…

From my experience, a snippet of code will look good. But LLMs seem to have a hard time getting the big picture and reusing code that is already implemented and ALMOST does what yo…

Yes, exactly my point. BUT, to me if we hadn't lowered the bar MASSIVELY, it would NOT be fine. I've seen people at my work that will push or even deploy features that don't do wha…

AI is great because my job is a lot easier, but it produces some extremely crappy code that would've NEVER passed a code review 1 year ago. You could argue that it speeds up develo…

I don't know where you're from but in Italy MANY medicines that are potentially dangerous but safe for home use are prescribed by a doctor that knows about your medical history. Pl…

Do you realize that abortion pills are potentially dangerous..? That's why you have doctors prescribing drugs

Sure, but access is easy enough. Not worse than anything else than the government does. Much better than--let's say--getting an MRI. Looks like this thread has gotten the attention…

That's because they don't want to get sued. So, you think the government should force doctors to perform abortions, like putting them in jail if they don't want to do it?
