    I think the point of mentioning Codex was that the author of the post has no relationship with Anthropic, even as a user.

    I doubt it, there is a much simpler explanation: virtually all English-speaking Catholics dig Tolkien.

    "Earth is flat" is an objective statement. "I experience consciousness" is subjective, similarly to "I am experiencing pain". If someone tells me "pain doesn't exist" while I know …

    Thomas Nagel's definition of consciousness is pretty good: "an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something …

    The article on AP literally has a graph showing outsized growth of Poland compared to these countries (measured in GDP per capita).

    Yet you can see crowds of young anti-woke Germans on X claiming that Poland's been growing only because of their (i.e. the Germans') money. Also, the reason you've given doesn't ex…

    Exactly. Which proves that people who keep saying that Poland's growth is only due to EU's money should finally stop. Another argument: Poland's GDP had already been growing at a s…

    OpenAI's ToS seems OK to me, it's just Microsoft and Anthropic.

    Well, OpenAI doesn't seem to have clauses like this. Europeans are allowed to use it for commercial purposes under the ToS. (But check it yourself, I'm not a lawyer). I reimplement…

    Anthropic does a somewhat similar thing. If you visit their ToS (the one for Max/Pro plans) from a European IP address, they replace one section with this: Non-commercial use only.…

    Running sed commands manually in 2026? Just tell Codex to fix your Claude Code

    No, it wasn't the government - just a private company running within a state-sponsored accelerator. The government withdrew their funds after finding out about it.

    The article says that the water ice could be used as a source of oxygen, needed to power the combustion of hydrocarbons as fuel. But the oxygen is trapped in water molecules, would…

    How does decompression speed compare to gzip?

    Ah, all right, thanks. That's just me not being a native speaker.

    What does it mean that it is "presented by Pixel"? Will it be streamed from a Pixel phone?

    I don't have pro-nationalistic views, that's a purely economic issue to me - its result is a long-lasting drain of capital. I did feel somewhat weird after posting that though, and…

    The same happened in Poland (and other countries from behind the Iron Curtain). Most stuff here has German or French owners now.

    That too, but I rather meant predeclared named types. According to Go specification, types that you define with "type Name OldName" are named, but "int", "string" and the rest are …

    Sure, the AST node for "when" is here: https://github.com/vrok/have/blob/master/have/ast.go#L159 Type checker checks the condition before every branch in "when" statements, and set…

    Your example looks good as well. Opening gives more flexibility with how the code can be structured, say that you have two interfaces: type I interface { A() } type J interface { B…
