Which is why I still think that the only way forward is that the EU becomes a country of its own. I'm aware that's deeply unpopular, partially due to The forrogn influence, but thr…

The Chinese leadership realized one doesn't exclude the other. Also, a leadership that is so enormously autocratic simply has to juggle fewer balls at the same time.

Good luck to that non-programmer person when support tickets start coming in.

Not the EU, but I once accidentally entered Switzerland in the Zürich airport. The passport counter was unmanned and the doorway next to it was open, so I assumed there is another …

Russia's goal is direct annexation of about quarter of the Ukrainian territory and installing a lifelong puppet regime to control the other three quarters. Ukrainians stand to lose…

> It seems quite premature to say that. We're 3 to 4 years into the LLM revolution and the rate of progress is still impressive. When we were 3 to 4 years into mobile phone revolut…

The toys are the problem because there are so many being imported they can't possibly control them all. And if the EU tries to do something structural about it the backlash is enor…

Obviously not.

What an odd comment. I'd think it's obvious I referred to the current wave that started 15* years ago. * give or take some years

I wonder if this is the reason Spain resisted the advent of far right for so long, compared to its European counterparts.

No. But I got time to clean some technical debt that I for ages ea wanted to do. I could have chosen not to do anything in that time. I can now write software quicker in most of th…

The LLM might change the economy of this, but I doubt it. I tend to believe that the engineering culture you describe will end up producing similar or, as Joel postulates, an even …

Wait until those prices start propagating to mass consumer products.

The acknowledgement is in the PR description, section "The design, and what it's based on".

Same here. I'll be in a market soon and I had my eyes on a VW i4 or a Škoda Enyaq, but this makes me seriously reconsider. I really wanted to support local industry and buy a Europ…

People do need to eat, but over 80% of the Dutch agricultural produce is being exported. Also, good portion of it isn't even meant for human consumption. Think flowers or cattle fe…

As someone who's pro-EU, I'd also really like to see major reforms within the organization. While it contributes enormously to the welfare of the continent, the EU is by design dys…

A successful rejoin referendum would probably help contain Reform. However such a referendum is basically taboo in the British public discourse.

Being Serbian, I also find equalising Cyrillic with Russian mildly annoying. Or even worse, when people call it "Russian letters". With that being said, I do think it's harder to m…

A lot of peple in this chain aren't paid to have a sense of ownership. They just do their job and their personal opinion of the work doesn't really matter.
