Yes, the causes are mainly genetic, but you can't diagnose it based on genetics, instead it's diagnosed based on symptoms. So if environmental factors (like giving toddler a tablet) worsen it already in childhood, the…
Somebody should study whether giving a smart device to a toddler increases their chances of getting ADHD diagnosis and medication at later age. Probably the answer is yes. If shitty parent's don't care about well-being…
I agree. As an EU citizen, I'm much more worried of spying and election interference from USA than China these days. If I have to choose between being subject of the Chinese Communist party or American psychopath…
I think LLM's will prove to be useful in any domain where most work happens in front of a computer. As LLM's make programming cheap, they also reduce the cost of building new software that automates work currently…
I agree. Programming was just a natural first problem to tackle, but the impact will not be limited there. If you give today's best model access to all the data sources and systems an average white collar worker has, it…
Hetzner, OVHcloud are decent European options. I migrated to them after geopolitical risks with US providers got too high. No problems so far.
Try see if you can find some physical hobby that has nothing to do with computers. Mine is gardening. With relatively little effort, I can grow a decent amount of foods, much of it interesting varieties that are not…
I don't see much of a need to buy from Amazon anymore. Almost always there is a smaller business selling same stuff cheaper, and as a plus I feel good about not supporting big American corporation. Of course there are…
According to Wikipedia, this Helmer is based in Moscow, and allegedy recruited by KGB already in the 80's. Sounds like a very unbiased source!
"I’m afraid that this is the end of a very long honeymoon for software developers. We have spent the past 30 years being treated like rock stars in our companies. " Maybe this is true for FAANG engineers in America. In…
Some of us like to be healthy and fit, and choose walking over e-scooter or car for that reason alone. I wouldn't count it as a "hobby", more of a lifestyle thing.
Large scale invasion is not likely, but they could try some limited operation to test NATO's unity. Most likely location would be somewhere in the Baltics.
I can understand why people take their job seriously if they have a big mortgage and mouths to feed. Now with AI threatening my job, I've decided to never take a mortgage, and generally live as frugally as possible,…
After all white-collar jobs have been eaten by AI, you have hordes of ex-white collar workers applying for blue collar work, and simultaneously decreased demand, as these well-paid white collar workers were primary…
If AI causes a mass displacement of academic workforce, good luck finding a job in any of those sectors you just mentioned. I live in Finland, the country with highest unemployment rate in OECD. Over here hundreds of…
I see plenty of birds in these Finnish planted forests, and definitely lots of bugs too, though you can't see them most of the time. Squirrels, moose, foxes, bears, wolves, deer, all live in them. Blueberries,…
Even cheap models like GPT 6 Luna do decent job in programming these days. Token prices would need to rise A LOT to make companies return to writing code by hand, instead of these models. My company has largely switched…
That mono plantation still has way more biodiversity than your average agricultural or urban area.
Still better than most of Europe. Tree plantation has more biodiversity than French or German field growing wheat.
What you call "monoculture plantation" looks just typical Finnish planted forest to me. I mean sure, it's not in its natural state, but I wouldn't call it a "monoculture plantation" either. Plenty of wildlife and…
Thanks for the tip, I've seen those small e-ink display on sale in Aliexpress, but wasn't sure about their quality. Maybe I'll get one for my next project, I can see many use cases.
It's just karma, Russians fascists reaping what they sow.
Taxing profits of companies that use AI probably. I really don't see other way, if AI starts replacing human work in large enough scale. In that situation, without welfare there will be soon nobody buying products and…
Thanks for sharing, maybe it's time to buy some more old Kindles... I use bunch as smart paintings (with changing pictures generated locally with stable diffusion), and of course Home Assistant dashboard. They are…
Your job will probably disappear, if it involves creating software.
