This was also exactly what I was taught in school when I was 10 years old. We also saw examples of other maps from other parts in the world that put their location front and center. That this map is a derivative of "a decolonization ma

What's even more worrying is that I've heared plenty of people defend it as, "Younger generations are just intelligent in different ways compared to older generations." I'm halfway through my 30's and this down

They're not banning code written and maintained with the use of LLM's. They're banning projects entirely created by LLM's and heavily (or solely) maintained by LLM's. It's basically not allowing junkfood on the

Everything we know and see has proven that progress is exponential. Your statement that progress or intelligence is binary has no basis outside of intentional and ignorant pessimism.

You can also paint by squashing flies against a wall. Doesn't mean it's a good, or efficient, idea.

Babylon 5. When people asked me what I preferred, "Star Wars or Star Trek?", I've always responded with "Babylon 5".

I wonder what happened to the old addage of "only 10% of the time you actually spend coding, the rest of the time is figuring out what is needed". At the same time I see people claiming 100x increases and how they produce 15k line

To make it even worse, he deemed none of it important enough to backup. AI fan or not, that is astoundingly stupid.

So do I understand correctly that it's from a tooling issue? If so, thanks for that insight.

I've heared Americans, unironically, state that the metric system is less precise than the imperial system. I have no clue what the origin is of this myth, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Trump held this belief too.

Only in certain fields. For most interactions divide by 10 is far easier than divide by 12, and you'd end up with far, far more "eyeballed" measurements. So no, as a human being, I'm fine with base 10.

Considering how much this particular system has been linked to real life crime and gangs, you're not far off. People downvoting you must either not be aware of this, or have a personal stake in it.

I agree. It is better to be consistent but wrong, than inconsistent but correct. Consistent and correct might seem ideal, but merely the fact that what is 'correct' is in the eye of the beholder most of the time, making it basical

This is why I don't listen at all to the fearmongers that say programmers will disappear. At most, our jobs will slightly change. There will always be people that describe a problem, and you'll always need people actually figuring

Am I reading this wrong? He complaints that Valve deleted items and posts, despite them promising that it would not happen... only for the quote he provided to state that "they might not delete everything". "Might" is no

I've thought of this too. But I always end up in a scenario where, in order to make the LLM spit out consistent and as precise as possible code, we end up with a very simple and tight syntax. For example we'll be using less and le

I don't really see what that has to do with what I posted, as it completely misses the point. This is not about eating fast food vs eating healthy. This is about groups of people eating the same food, only that one is labeled 'bio

I have little faith that, should it all be burned down, recreating it all from the ground up that it would be better. People need to accept that what Trump is doing is only possible because of what his predecessors put down as law. That mea

I don't know how it's in the US, but here in Europe where I live a ticket ranges between 16 to 20 Euro per seat. That's simply too much for most people.

If COVID taught me anything it's that it doesn't matter where you go looking on the political spectrum, be it left or right, you'll always find enough people that are fine to be the judge, jury and executioner.
