Interesting! I thought it was universal - well at least for me Portuguese from Portugal is very hard to understand (especially the pronunciation). I learned Brazilian Portuguese ok, so I’m not really good at it, just…
Arguably the difference between Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal is much bigger than between American and British English
Software quality was never as big of an issue as it’s made out to be. Even before AI most software that ran “mission-critical” systems was kind of bad. I mean huge enterprises got routinely hacked bc of some owasp top…
Not my experience tbh. Those that love writing code are still doing it just way more intense than ever (like the person in the article) Those that use code as a means to an end, solve that issue and then take the rest…
A “proper” mirror alongside archive.org would be good too
The adverb “quietly” has become such an AI smell to me, even if it’s probably not one in this instance.
I hope I will never be in that situation to make that decision; but seeing the fate of the different whistleblowers (in the USA) it seems you need to be almost suicidal to blow the whistle. Like your life will basically…
I get the sentiment but basically you say that people need to join corrupt fucked up organisations to make them better. Like if you don’t join and improve things, some kind of psychopath will join in your stead and make…
Yea Meta is the only possible company you can work at…
>the institutional left is basically neoliberals I think that’s very USA centric - i feel it’s different in Europe or South America
The perfidy of Putin (and many other authoritarian regimes) is that they can clothe their anti-democratic and anti-human policies in the language of their opponents. So Putin can justify anything with words - what they…
It seems similarly unfathomable to other commenters that US big tech is ideologically aligned with the rightwing parties in EU and SA. Further that the current US administration is openly rooting for leaders to get…
Well let’s make the next fine 250B, they clearly don’t care enough yet
Maybe a lot of people worked at stackoverflow idk; but I have been organising electronic “underground” music nights for 15+ years and basically stopped now because there just wasn’t a big enough audience anymore. Anyway…
Forgive my ignorance but which machines depend almost entirely on quantum principles?
With the current admin the deforestation rates in Brazil are now the lowest they have been for decades. Unfortunately that will be over by next week probably :/
Which is fair i think. The fines for them should be 1000x times higher or 50% of yearly revenue or something and they won’t cheat so much anymore.
Yea I’m obviously not familiar with the details but whoever is in charge of enforcing the laws should do it. If the law is not sufficiently protecting Finnish interests here it should be changed.
Should be an easy case then! If it’s illegal fine them billions for all i care
It’s not utterly different. Here is a list of banned books in the USA: https://pen.org/banned-books-list-2025/ Here is also a huge Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_banning_in_the_United_Sta...
I agree 100%. Autocracies are even worse like I said in my other comment. But tur shortsightedness of democracies also seems to lead to disaster long term. I guess on a long enough timeline the survival rate for…
IMO it’s hypocritical. I rarely see people complaining about the insane amount of water that is used in meat production (trillions of liters worldwide) but almost constant discussions about water consumption of…
Typically one has to wait for courts to decide whether something is illegal or not. If it was illegal them I’m sure the state prosecutors will take care of it. I dislike Google as much as the next guy but this seems…
I know that they tried to evict the people in the forest in 2018 and a bunch of people got arrested because they resisted the eviction. Later on they walked it back and let them stay but still some people got arrested…
They can have long term plans but they suffer from the consequences of authoritarian government. Not the same problems as democracy but I would argue that authoritarianism is even worse.
