Well, they use AI to create "content". So I guess it's fair to use AI to read it. This is what Claude says about "Grokipedia"'s article about the Gaza war, compared to the original: Major Differences Between Wi

Better yet: don't be a "guest" in the USA.

The story can also be considered on-topic because it shows how the USA is increasingly becoming a bad place to start a business. When foreign talent can be snatched by masked secret police at any time and the rule of law is increasingly ign

You don't see it, like the fish who does not see the water.

No, that has now become a value of American Republicans.

> maybe they can adopt "stop begging USA for military protection" as their value first. Basically we did that already. But the preferred wording is "Don't rely on the USA because they are no longer trustworty."

There is broad consensus in Europe that we don't want to be like Trumpist America.

For me, "Support European Values." is prominently displayed on the page.

Ultimately it's about trust. And why would you trust Trump or Musk?

Note: pg appears to be "generally sympathetic" to what Musk is doing here. https://xcancel.com/paulg/status/1886741943050211408

In addition, except for companies with serious economic problems, layoffs are also simply much less common in Germany, I believe.

He did not directly call anyone "retard". But he reposted it. And in this case it was obviously ment as endorsement.

Well, this was reposted by Garry Tan: https://x.com/TiffanyFong_/status/1881476982103523531 It seems, YC and HN made their decision.

Wait, has Google really dropped support for Flutter and Dart? Or were there "just" some layoffs?

There are regular pro Palestine protests in my German hometown. And they do condemn Israel's actions.

My theory is that excessive linter rules might be a symptom of trying to compensate for the weaknesses of a programming language. I see it a lot in Python and JavaScript projects where the language gives very litte guarantees about anything

Polio is much more dangerous for small children, though. This could make quite a difference.

I tend to isolate myself from the environment using noise-cancelling headphones. Now I'm wondering if this might be a bad idea, neurologically speaking...

Notice the "Schwarzkopf" killer in the 4th screenshot, a useful tool against the notorious "Saddam" virus (which could be activated simply by inserting a disk into your Amiga).

Some animals age very, very little: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligible_senescence Among them the Naked Mole Rat, a mammal. So it looks like evolution can do it. But it usually doesn't.

The new UI looks a bit like Visual Studio Code, I think?
