Von der Leyen sucks, but not in that way. She is an unscrupulous careerist with a talent for failing upward - and she failed a lot.

I'd be more interested in a car, the kind that people had before they went mad. Smaller frontal area, lower center of gravity, lighter weight. More economic, faster, more fun to drive. I don't want to sit high neither, lower is mo

>Young people prefer phones to cars even I mean, I probably do, too. I certainly use my phone much more often (I live in Berlin). But please, can we not make cars smartphones on wheels? I don't want to throw away my car after five y

My guess is: progress is stagnating, so they look best if they pretend to slow down intentionally while continuing to work at full speed.

The .git directory does not contain plain files, so the same files may look different in different .git directories. But yeah, you could make it work if you designed for it.

Trump sure is an idiot, but it seems somewhat likely that Netanyahu pressured him to perform this particular idiocy that is also against his previous anti-war attitude - one of the few things that was good about his first term.

Let's not be so naive about this, it happens all the time and humanity is not permanently lost. Example USA vs Indians: At first you come up with some justifications for the bad stuff you are doing, then you kind of forget about it ove

It's also useless if every tool lives in its own copy of the universe - there'd be little to no identical files. It also won't work for version control databases, assuming use of a distributed VCS.

>Maybe they have big customers that communicated to them that they will choose them over the competition if they open more of their software stack. I do remember reading that that is the case for AMD, maybe one of their open source devs

IMO screw that. It's maybe a good way to build software in exactly one environment for exactly one environment, deployment to a corporate server fleet. Consider a Linux desktop distro: if every little binary (out of order of magnitude

I'm disappointed that it's not waterloo.wc or water-loo.wc

I'm honestly relieved to see that I'm not the only one to test optimized/newer implementations against less optimized/older implementations. It's what I came up with after thinking about it for quite a while and I&#

That seems like a fantastic idea, I hope it goes through and gets widely imitated in other countries. I imagine that the usual villain gallery will launch a panicked lobbying initiative behind the scenes.

Not exactly that, but one thing that comes to mind: Germany was about to switch the phone network to fiber with data service in the late 80s(!), but then Helmut Kohl (CDU chancellor) decided to build TV cable instead. He wanted to promote p

While TDP isn't the whole truth, a pretty solid rule of thumb is that a CPU will at most use about 2x TDP. That is still not that much here. That said, GPUs look like they mostly vent to outside the case, but that is largely untrue.

You don't even need to go there, just look at Japanese websites.

That's a bit bullshit, isn't it? They basically redefined "needs more R&D" as "needs stronger AI". Maybe so - maybe AI won't help much with that problem.

The, ahem, good thing here is that the ASI disaster scenario "everyone dies" includes AI executives.

The funny thing is: They have plenty of more-or-less standard issue developers at MSFT, they'd just need to ask them.

Yeah, but my point is that it doesn't help current German space companies.

The east has never been economically very strong, it used to be huge feudal-style farms and a bit of high-tech industry (planes, optics, trains, electronics in the 1930s). Not too different from now. Then there was the GDR which made things

They don't glorify drugs, the image of stoners over there is at least as bad as in other European countries. The narco trouble is mostly because the country is a huge logistics hub.

Mentioning evil Soros is like a 100% reliable political crackpot indicator, even though this here is a quite original take. He is usually an evil Jewish globalist, i.e. a nefarious leftist. I think he seriously pissed off the right people i

I would like to see your definition of fascism under which the German government is proto-fascist.

GP was possibly arguing against Herb Sutter's "almost always auto". C++ wasn't designed for auto and it shows. You can't rely on it always doing the right thing or at least a safe thing in C++, unlike in Rust - I&#x
