Of course Americans want us to dismantle the EU, we are even weaker against US influence without it.

strong disagree, as a user the recent updates have been awesome and immediately useful.

Godot is such a nice project, I feel like almost every release brings stuff with it that is directly useful for me. It feels like the main contributors there are really on the ball.

they should try and replace some executives with AI, seems like there is way more room for improvement there.

They probably also have an insane dataset

can you give an example of being defrauded? I don't really know what people mean when they say that.

I don't want AI to fail but I would like to see Altman anf Musk fail for example. I'm very uneasy with the power hungry silicon valley freaks that are running the show at these labs/companies. Hassabis seems like the only one that is not actually Evil.

I really should get back to playing some more with raku, it was a fun experience the last time I messed around with it. Feels very expressive, like it will support any harebrained scheme you come up with.

it sort of makes sense to me, when asking a question to an expert in the field while you are a student. I would guess the successful interactions on average would be more polite . Like for example if you were asking a question to donald knuth or terrence tao, you'd probably be polite while doing so. Being hostile while asking questions gets you into forum discussion territory.

Yeah Raku feels so expressive and lovely to me with the help of an AI assistant. I've only done toy programs and scripts with it but it is actually so nice.

Working in C# i feel basically still read code structure by the visual block structure / indentation. I dont think I've ever counted braces in my professional life. The IDE makes sure it is formatted correctly and ambiguity is basically impossible.

Thank you for preserving this piece of internet history, I have fond memories of playing these as a kid. Awesome stuff

For me how cheap it is makes it much more comfortable for me to just take it with me whenever I travel. My other e-reader is a Kobo Sage but it is so expensive that I'm way more careful with it. And I feel like the weight is seriously underrated as a selling point. It barely feels like a piece of tech.

This is so well put, and it not only happens on the user level but also on the organisational level. Where you can completely abdicate both responsibility and explanation by moving the complicated questions into the black box of an AI model.

I haven't read any of his other stuff but I'm very interested in this subject in particular so I'm going pick this up as soon as it is available

> Automated tests are already the output of these specs, and specs cover way more than what you cover with code.

ok but how are you sure that the AI is correctly turning the spec into tests. if it makes a mistake there and then builds the code in accordance with the mistaken test you only get the Illusion of a correct implementation

unironically yes, I think with the huge payday they get for being responsible for Microsoft they should also carry an equivalent responsibility when they cause social harms. Billionaires have gotten way too comfortable.

when i use claude opus via opencode/openrouter i'm sometimes suprised by how quickly costs can get out of hand. What are the costs of running openClaw, it seems like it would get crazy expensive crazy fast?
