So how the “assimilation” looks like to you? If you ever have kids, are you going to be speaking French only with them? Do you try to catch up with vast cultural background that people experience since childhood in France? Do you plan to change your name to sometime more French-sounding?

Now you’re being some “immigrant enclaves” into the mix to support your point. I think you show vast arrogance about how modern (high-skilled) immigration looks like and how it integrates into western society.

Parent comment called for “assimilation”. Assimilation implies replacing your own culture with another, like by Webster definition.

Why do you want people with foreign backgrounds to “assimilate”? If you were to move to France, are you going to abandon your own language, culture, and play-pretend to be a Frenchman?

If you live somewhere long enough, know the country, work and handle daily life without issues, have social connections with other people in this society, understand at least some language - in my opinion you are as integrated in that country as needed.

Travelling somewhere is not the same as living. It’s pretty common among people without immigration experience to have a certain idealistic idea about it, that does not work in reality.

This person lives in a very international city where they speak English at work. For some people it’s not as easy to get to B1-B2 levels while working full time, having children and using English to communicate daily without issues.

In many EU countries requirement for a permanent resident status is just 4-6 years of residency, plus sometimes certain income/language level. And there is always EU permanent residence permit that just requires you to reside for 5 years.

That is not true for many countries, especially in EU, and especially when you move as a skilled worker.

Codeine is still sold in many countries otc, as part of weak pain killer combination or as part of cough medicine.

Safety ratio as you present it is a bit misleading, numbers for hard/soft drugs are usually for a single dose.

I thought it was 150M per quarter?

With how seriously rise of LLMs damages schools and university education, and thus next generation of comp sci graduates, at least we can hope to secure our arcane knowledge jobs for long.

“Pure AI” so you haven’t used any LLM at all, or just partially?

In my field that sometimes involves some applied mathematics, it definitely help with busy work, giving raw ideas or writing some chain in latex so I don’t have to spell everything in details myself in the doc

Well, it will never be 3500 books. One book often lasts longer than one day, and kids love rereading the same story over and over and over and over again.

Only on Linux it seems. The fact that it makes rendering slower on lower resolution is a big concern.

I’m all for speeding up Emacs as a long time user, but I share emacs maintainers stance on not accepting llm code.

Not sure why author doesn’t like to openly share his thoughts on the exact model used and book titles - one book is named, but the rest are blurred?

The feature is LLM generated, and also doesn’t bring any speed ups, only slowdowns

25k requirement doesn’t protect anyone, just prevents regular contractors from easily registering limited liability company.

USA seems to have a lot of automatic guns, but still succumbs to authoritarism and masked goons terrorising population.
