The difference is the intent and the background behind it.

Sure for maximum mass adoption the computer can out-research any human and just find the blandest set of rules which cater to the highest percentage of the majority.

What it still will have a hard time doing, and I predict it will be for quite some time - probably until we have quantum computers - is to come up with a new way of doing poetry which is not just copying what humans did but better.

I think of AI like it’s China, they are super efficient in copeing things and gradually making them better and cheaper but the setup of their society makes it impossible to really innovate.

And yeah I’m saying that it’s the setup, because in Taiwan they are able to innovate at a much higher rate.

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

Nice, when they introduced the AppStore I was convinced that this would happen within a few years and as a developer I moved off Apple products and towards more open hardware and software. I was confused why - while they did it from the start on iOS - they kept allowing side-loading on their computers. In the end they just tried to cook the frog slowly so it wouldn’t jump out of the saucepan.

Hm, Animals as leaders? But it’s not very thrashy.

Oh man congrats!

I remember when mine told me she is pregnant, I was so happy I wanted to jump!

After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn’t lose my job.

My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn’t secure new projects locally.

But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.

Now I’m advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.

For me it’s extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.

I’m born in Poland to Polish parents, but all their parents were born Germans. I moved to Germany when I was 11 and when someone asked me then I said I’m German. But then I moved to Sweden for 15 years, while there I would also say I’m German. I got the Swedish citizenship but you still can hear that I’m not a native Swede, but only Swedish people can hear it. So once I moved to Korea 4 years ago I used my Swedish passport to get in to the country (it was not on purpose but random chance, I could have chosen the polish one or the German one too). Anyway, if someone in Korea asks me where I’m from or what I am I almost always say I’m Swedish. with one exception, if a German here in Korea asks me then I say I’m German.

I know it’s a bit easier for me because I look like I could be from any of those countries, but my identity is not tied to some specific geographic area so I have no problem being a geographical-identity-cameleon.

Some ducks are born in Mexico.

That’s an interesting idea, need to check if they offer some kind of a API for that.

But then there is this other thing, what about dns cache?

Democracy is just the tyranny of the majority.

I think that most of the Americans want this, even if people on the outside do not understand. So in that sense they are right now winning back their country, as confusing as it might sound.

How can you be sure?

I always create a virtual environment for each project I run like that. This way you can have your own versions of packages for each project without them interfearing with each other. This is also what the error message sugests in the beginning, so if you have the time I would investigate it and learn about it: https://python.land/virtual-environments/virtualenv

That’s just how economy works. Anyway I always hated to interact with strangers and still do.

And all it took was getting rid of us.

For 10k rows you should probably use a real database anyway ;)

I use office 360 in the browser.
I’m not a typical sysadmin but I use linux anyway. Somehow I always found some workarounds, but I am also not the only one using Linux in our company so the IT needs to work with us to some degree.

yt-dlp is a command line tool but amazing. Works also on windows.

I use radicals for CalDAV and save notes there together with my calendars. On Android there is jtx Board which let’s you work with them. Sadly on Linux I couldn’t find anything so I started writing something myself but don’t have much time to work on it https://github.com/jeena/JNotes

What about WiFi triangulation?

Once Elon evolves X to the everything app, we will finally enjoy what is what you describe and what is already the case in China.

I was there a month ago and we were driving through some rural area and the bus stopped so people can go to the toilet. There was a seller selling dried fruits in small plastic bags. I wanted to buy some and I had some cash on me, but the only way to pay was to use WeeChat and the QR code he had there.
