Daycare is completely free in Poland since 2024 (you need to submit an application to ZUS, but there are no limits, it's always accepted), even the private ones.
You only pay separately for food (10 zł per day the child is actually attending to the daycare).
I switched from a Polish company to a German one (both remote), but my pay is more or less the same.
The difference is that in Poland to get that money I have to be a "top performer" with a lot of stress and not a lot of time, while in Germany I can be just a mid dev.
I mean a lot do get reputational damage (e.g. a lot of people hate Jira because how slow it is, or Microsoft Teams - same story) - it's just that nothing comes of it, so "suffered" is perhaps the wrong word here. People curse them and still use them.
It is especially true for MMPBs (mass market paperbacks). It's a specific term for a specific format of books that are just recently being phased out. You can find more info about this online.
I drew a lot of doodles and did things like that as well, but I think that they're less visually stimulating and simply "slower" so there's still some brain capacity left for learning.
Yup. As a kid I could "entertain" (distract is the better word) myself by "drawing shapes" with the cursor, highlighting random things, switching between random cells in Excel, or just like... browsing through the system without any plan or reason.
Procrastination is hell of a drug.
Wait, what, Zed is Tauri? How?
One of their main things was that they implemented the UI layer completely from scratch using their own GPU-accelerated rendering engine.
It's got none of that browser-type stuff.
To extend on that a little bit: they use data centers located in EU, but owned by US cloud providers.
They can still pull the plug ofc, so it's only a small difference, but still
Sort of, they have no "hands", LLMs can only respond that they want to execute a tool/command. So they do that a lot to: read files, search for things, compile projects, run tests, run other arbitrary commands, fetch stuff from the internet etc.
Obviously the LLM inference is super heavy, but the actual work / task at hand is being executed on the device.
Yeah, pretty much. A "mac mini" is just easier to set up for the average hype-driven AI "entrepreneur" bro than anything on the cloud. It's mostly a meme though.
Models are not local most of the time, no, but all commands execute on "the mac mini" so I wouldn't exactly call it a prop. LLMs accept and respond just with text what stuff to execute. They have no h̶a̶n̶d̶s̶ claws.
This happens to non-native English speakers a lot (like me). My style of writing is heavily influenced by everything I read. And since I also do research using LLMs, I'll probably sound more and more as an AI as well, just by reading its responses constantly.
I just don't know what's supposed to be natural writing anymore. It's not in the books, disappears from the internet, what's left? Some old blogs for now maybe.
By public services I mean only important things like healthcare, law enforcement, fire department. Definitely not stores and food delivery. You can wait an hour or even a couple of hours for that.
> Those companies have decided the extra complexity is worth the reliability.
Companies always want more money and yes it makes sense economically. I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying that nobody needs this.
I grew up in a world where this wasn't a thing and no, life wasn't worse at all.
I'm a firm believer that almost nothing except public services needs that kind of uptime...
We've introduced ridiculous amounts of complexity to our infra to achieve this and we've contributed to the increasing costs of both services and development itself (the barrier of entry for current juniors is insane compared to what I've had to deal with in my early 20s).
The thing is, if you want AI output to be heavily directed, which is probably the case here, I can imagine that thousands of random takes had to be made to make the damn thing follow the director's imagination.
If you don't care too much about the output you can make these very quickly, yeah.
