This. An AI is like delegating it to the junior programmer you don't have. You spend 5 minutes writing the spec rather than an hour coding. It's usually something you could do your…

It's not just the USA, all Western countries are on a path of mass immigration: software, engineering and health services in particular. A big factor has been diversity quotas to m…

I think the issue could also be this: - Tech or engineering company hires foreign resident engineer. - That engineer works their way up in the company to a position where they are …

Both sides are as bad as each other. Sure there may be a few individuals who truly stand for something and would sacrifice everything to make some change, but the majority don't an…

I am not a US citizen, just an observer. What is the alternative when the Democrats appear just as much beholden to corporate finance, and position themselves as the party for city…

They're rarely that kind to their enablers either. I don't think the "Down to the Countryside Movement" was what the Red Guard were expecting as their reward for supporting the rev…

Have asked LLMs for smallcap trading ideas on the ASX a few times. Grok often suggested shares that jumped significantly within the next few weeks. Wondering if it's access to Twit…

This was actually a plot point in Blade Runner 2049.

Bananas are good, berries and most leafy green vegetables. Avocados, sweet potatoes, nuts and legumes. Switched to potassium-enriched salt for cooking so no-one else in the househo…

Did you try changing it to an eggplant? You may find that is also deemed inappropriate due to the similar connotations/appropriations associated with it.

Yes, it's one of the better cheeses if you're on a sodium-reduced diet. Fresh Mozzarella is another good one. It's a fairly safe bet that the harder the cheese, the higher the sodi…

Goatse? Wouldn't recommend Googling it. You either know or just take a guess.

I don't do banking on my phone, and non-US currency where you can see what you have from the colour of the visible portion of the notes without opening the wallet. Also unlike a ph…

Exactly. For example, pulling in to buy petrol because they're displayed price is good. You don't know how much you have available in the transaction account, but you have cash.

So we should be talking about autonomous delivery of mealkits: HelloFresh, Marley Spoon, Dinnerly, Blue Apron, etc?

A week before the election I bought shares in Lynas, (the major rare earth producer outside of China) when it seemed Trump could win. Rare Earth exports was a known lever that the …

The know-how has been lost so those currently looking to build plants have to relearn the processes. At the same time they need to examine new methods using different chemicals dep…

Mountain Pass is not a great deposit. It requires blasting to extract from the bastnasite and is low in heavy rare earths such as Dysprosium and Terbium. There are many better depo…

- I am driving from the back seat, for some reason (trying, at least) Yeah, this one with the added bonus of having the whole family in the car - and for some reason I'm not steeri…

Our German Shepherd is as particular about her toys as her food. She mainly likes squeaky plush toys, doesn't like rope toys at all. She also likes tennis balls which is a complete…

Agree with the banning, problem is they are major sponsors of a lot of sports which would then need to find alternatives for funding. AFL (Australia) is one with very embedded spon…

And when on the receiving end of the deliverables list, it's always a good idea to make sure they are actually deliverable. There's nothing worse than a task where you can deliver …

I messed around with Udio when it first cam out, and it wasn't just writing a prompt, and there's your song. You got 30 seconds, of which there might have been a hook that was inte…

Only if you can tick off ALL of the deliverables that verify "done".
