Xavier Moreau is not in the EU so a travel ban that prevents him from leaving the EU obviously does not affect him. The sanctions only affect the seized assets.
Meanwhile Jacques Baud is a Swiss Citizen in the EU and the sanctions ban him from leaving the EU, which makes the EU a de facto open air prison for him.
Stop calling coefficient of performance "efficiency".
The heat pump takes input heat and just concentrates it. It turns out that the energy spent on concentrating heat also turns into heat, so you have a 100% efficient heater.
Those private enterprises just want your money. That's bad for a different reason, but the risk of being harassed or stalked by a private enterprise is very low unless you stand between them and their money.
The government can have completely arbitrary motivations and enact laws that punish people for the sake of punishment or just outright dismantle democracy by making it illegal to criticize politicians, something that is already happening in Germany.
Ok, but by this logic all freedom of citizens can be taken away, because it could lead to a single child being trafficked.
The end result is that even the children you're trying to protect are now under permanent surveillance of an authoritarian government where sex trafficking probably still happens, but the law permits the government to wrongfully ruin more people's lives than are saved by the claimed "noble" act.
Child sex trafficking is primarily a law enforcement problem. You actually need someone to solve the case, visit and arrest the perpetrator.
Mass surveillance doesn't actually solve the problem because of how rare it is. Your signal is 99.99% noise in the first year and 100% noise in the second year after people get caught on the scanned platforms and switch to unscanned platforms.
You tell me he has 30 years of experience, then you tell me that he developed the chat app in a way that negates those 30 years of experience.
Like, either the 30 years matter or they don't. If you're using agentic coding, while copying the two most popular chat applications (Discord and Matrix/Element), you'll need 5 years of development experience at most.
The big thing about AI is that it lets you explore a new domain outside your expertise almost effortlessly.
There is a massive difference between complaining about someone being bad at a language and treating the act of telling someone to learn the language as some great offense.
One of those is an honest attempt, the other one is pure hostility.
For me it doesn't really matter how well you speak the language.
All of the net benefits you're talking about require some form of assimilation and we're in a discussion about rejecting/refusing assimilation.
There is plenty of evidence that immigrant enclaves depress wages because these immigrants are trapped in their local community instead of being part of the broader national economy.
Everything you're talking about just proves the point of the person you're responding to.
Either you argue that the job requires you to stay in another country and the stay is always temporary and there you would not focus on any given language since you're going to leave before you reach any level of proficiency
or you want to stay in the country because you like it and therefore learn the language.
You cannot cherry pick the option where you have your cake and eat it too.
It is illogical to demand permanent residency for a temporary stay that is short enough to not bother learning the language.
Considering so many people here are feeling extremely strongly about their right to not learn a language and the absurd amount of apathy I honestly see zero goodwill here.
Like, no one is arguing based on personal failure, saying they failed to learn the language. They're saying they are busy raising a family as an adult in a foreign country and learning the locals language is a waste of time.
I'm in such severe disbelief. Like, how can any rational and sane person even think that?
How can you decide to go to a foreign country and then decide that actually all of that country is bad including the language and say you're above the locals and their stupid language and then expect to be considered a welcome guest?
Obviously the host wants the unwanted guests to leave.
It's honestly absurd to make the case that you don't have time to learn the language of a country you're spending 100% of your day in.
What are you doing all day? The people who are struggling to learn a language tend to be the people who have zero pressure to learn a language.
The most time consuming part of language learning is immersion, meaning that you just listen to or speak the language, without going out of your way to do any language lessons at all.
Most of the value proposition of Python is that it calls into fast native modules. Compiling Python itself helps a little, but it isn't that big of a deal. The most prominent Python JITs have been a failure because of the tight coupling between CPython and native modules.
Basically the entire Python ecosystem has deep integration into implementation details of CPython, if there was a runtime independent api like HPy, then the effort would be better spent migrating to it rather than building yet another half baked JIT.
No, it wouldn't, because he didn't actually read the readme which clearly states that they are still working on passing the CPython test suite and that 5x performance is an aspirational goal, not something they accomplished yet.
>What is explicitly not done yet — this is the active roadmap, in order:
>CPython test suite (cpython-full): the standing grind; failures are clustered and burned down per wave.
>Stdlib build-out: _io/os, math/struct/random, collections/itertools/json, datetime, importlib parity — each lands as a native module plus a differential corpus module.
>AoT parity growth toward the full corpus, plus single-binary product polish.
>No-GIL/free-threaded runtime hardening: thread/GC/signal stress is now on the default runtime path, with remaining gaps tracked by the ratcheted suites.
Overall the substantial parts of his comment are completely wrong and the subjective parts are not much better
>With AI it's 100x easier to maintain than by hand.
This is an unsubstantiated opinion. In practice AI has a limit well below 100x.
>It reminds my on pperl. same approach using crane lift. Looks good
>This program turns ordinary perl scripts into long running daemons, making subsequent executions extremely fast. It forks several processes for each script, allowing many proceses to call the script at once.
Which sounds nothing like pon, which is heavily inspired by bun. Meanwhile if it's this: https://perl.petamem.com/ which took quite a while to find, then I'm wondering why that would have precedence over bun?
Once you add the first sentence, it basically turns into a negative value comment that shouldn't have been posted.
Just eight years ago basically nobody wanted to pay for compilers and developer tooling, and now you're suggesting people will spend a thousand dollars for a compiler they'll have to maintain themselves just because they're willing to pay for AI generated tokens but not for finished tools?
>But if you're an aerospace company trying to compile for a flight control computer (and I guess you really want to use python for some reason), spending thousands of dollars on tokens to make and maintain a custom compiler could represent serious savings.
If you're an aerospace company you're willing to pay thousands of dollars for a compiler, because you need a DO-178C certified toolchain so that you can DO-178C certify the whole airframe. Suggesting AI here tells me you have no clue about the realities of aerospace, because you've just thrown out the entire value proposition of the commercial toolchains.
Yeah, I noticed this as well. The most common trap I've seen though is when people suddenly get the idea "code is cheap now" and then start working on low value projects but then it turns out that it wasn't as cheap as they thought.
How is that cheaper? You now need to have a database of millions of possibly gigabyte sized rows. Also, transformers have quadratic complexity, so short queries cost practically nothing.
The only optimization that makes sense is per user prefix caching, because you are often sending the same system prompt over and over again or are continuing a conversation.
