But will they be good enough? That’s a question that can only be answered after many years in a project’s lifecycle. Not sure about allowing for more control, what happens when a complex/exotic issue that an AI is not able to solve ari

Right, this reminds me of the threads around here on teleworking vs working in-office. Once someone points out that they like going to the office because they get to socialize with co-workers, the replies typically sound like ‘don’t care, I

Isn't this inference an LLM's job? The RAG component just needs to find the Sharon article among a large dataset and pass it (entirely) to the LLM as context.

Can't session data be stored on disk? that's the default PHP behavior.

Also why would anyone store and read data like { 'groups': [...] } on the client-side? Session cookies are supposed to be identifiers only, with the data stored server-side.

1:10 is a little harsh, quite far from the norm. From my experience body shops subcontracting freelancers pay 80-90% of the daily rate (BENELUX area)

One thing worth mentioning for EU’s IT industry is that there are large sectors like government which need IT services but can only work with contractors as hiring is not legally possible or extremely tedious. This means contractors get acc

Indeed mental illness is higher than basic needs on the Maslow pyramid but some people overlook that. Obviously people would care if they didn’t have more important/pressing needs to care about.

Indeed I believe this is the blocking problem. I've been asking questions about EU legislation and it keeps answering BS and then apologizing: Me: When was the last consolidation of Directive 2013/34/EU? GPT: Directive 20

Not sure what your point is, there is drug smuggling in pretty much any country in the world (except maybe North Korea), this can not be 100% stopped. By now it is common knowledge that western european ports are the drug hubs of the EU[1].

In Romania it varies, but you get a better deal (small discount or get a parking spot, better orientation etc.) when you pay down 20-40% of the price before construction starts so many buyers go for it. Waiting until the construction is fin
