Citation needed. As far is I know this is simply false. Different sanctions have different goals. Regime change is very rarely a goal. Often it is to reduce economic growth to keep…

Did you read the article?

If you train an LLM on chess, it will learn that too. You don't need to explain the rules, just feed it chess games, and it will stop making illegal moves at some point. It is a cl…

You have again answered with your customary condescension. Is that really necessary? Everything you write is just dripping with patronizing superiority and combatative sarcasm. > "…

> This is not a demonstration of a trick question. It's a question that purposefully uses a limitation of the system. There are many such questions for humans. They are called tric…

> No, it's the entire architecture of the model. Wrong, it's an artifact of tokenizing. The model doesn't have access to the individual letters, only to the tokens. Reasoning model…

You use a lot of anthropomorphisms: doesn't "know" anything (does your hard drive know things? Is it relevant?), "making things up" is even more linked to continuous intent. Unless…

PPDF is a great book but hard to apply. I recommend looking at some Kanban literature. Classic in this space is Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability.

If it's really important to have an accurate estimate for a large work package you are in trouble, there is no such thing.

It's not just cruel, it's stupid. Not only does cycle time form a very poor measure of individual productivity, using cycle time to measure individuals will create very bad incenti…

You've misunderstood: cycle time is neither a forecast nor a measure of individual productivity. Cycle time measures how long it takes for a unit of work (usually a ticket) to move…

I've never encountered cycle time recommended as a metric for evaluating individual developer productivity, making the central premise of this article rather misguided. The primary…

I understand from your question you struggle to comprehend that this is possible. I assure you it really is. People who have money take the train. People who own cars take the trai…

Most people would not. Paris - Berlin is dominated by flying.

This really is nonsense but somehow every time this topic comes up people being it up. The size of the country or its population density is not really relevant. People in Europe do…

This is true in the US but not a law a nature. Its the result of policy. There are whole cities built from scratch (outside the US) within the last 70 years that did not choose thi…

Wild assertions with another wild assertion as 'evidence'

I live in Vienna and people take public transport to nature all the time .

It's obviously nonsense. Nobody is walking from Paris to Berlin. But you can walk in Paris and Berlin.

This seems like a strangely theoretical argument, as if the world outside America simply does not exist.

The current American urbanism is from the past! The assumption that other urbanisms somehow represent a blast from the past, while 70 year old American car-centric urbanism embodie…

What are these "challenging geographic features"?
