Correct. They are also not Italian and not Romani. But they do speak Swiss German, Swiss Italian, Swiss French, and Romansh. What they are not (apparently unlike you) are racist-nationalist ideologues. Their Confederation has a longstanding tradition of diversity, multilingualism, and multiculturalism. In that, they are very unlike you, who seem to want to tell them to run their country like a racist ethno-state.

You also don't seem to want to fucking educate yourself before you tell others how to live their lives.

Pray tell, what do Swiss people look like? What does "Swiss culture" look like? What language do they speak? What are their traditions? Do enlighten us.

We're talking about Switzerland. Not Sweden.

Ah, but you do need to "sell" a nonprofit ... to donors. When making decisions about where to spend their money, high-value donors want to know about the organization they're giving money to. For this reason, nonprofits have valuations, although they aren't calculated the same way as those of for-profit companies.

It can get pretty weird, yeah ... especially when you're trying to assess intangibles, such as "goodwill."

It's not just the capacity, it's also the weight of the battery, which is significant. U.S. roads have maximum weight limits, and those are cumulative for the whole vehicle, battery and all. Heavier battery means lighter cargo.

I don't think it's the AI specifically, but the fact that they've used AI to let go of competent (and expensive) people.

I'm using AI as a coding assist and code reviewer myself. It is impressive how often it is spot on, but it is also impressive with how much conviction it tells you one thing, then after you correct it it admits that that was totally bonkers. AI or not, you need someone in the loop with a deep understanding of what it actually is you are trying to accomplish.

I can fully imagine an AI without guidance to go off the rails more and more over time. But I can imagine the same thing for a room full of junior programmers.

I am honestly surprised how long it took them to ruin it. I moved my projects off github years ago, expecting it to fail much sooner.

How do you figure that one? Oil and gas are about 30% of the UAE's GDP. They're something like the fourth-largest exporter worldwide. And leaving OPEC will allow them to increase production however they see fit, unrestrained by OPEC rules.

OK, so if the press dropped the word "war" altogether and instead used the phrase, "the United States and Israel's unprovoked attacks on Iran," would you be satisfied with that?

Leading question.

Would you want to spend your entire life in a small cell all by yourself? Because then your wallet definitely won't get stolen.

Yes, life is not risk-free. But we have done a great job at making it several orders of magnitude less risky without mass surveillance, and it is doubtful if turning a free society into a police state would do all that much on top of that.

Every time you sit in your car, you risk injury, permanent disfigurement or disability and death - because all of these happen every day as the result of traffic accidents. And yet, without even being consciously aware of it, you hope every day that today it's not you.
You seriously want to tell me that that's a risk you are willing to take, but having your car keys stolen justifies mass surveillance?

I remember BBEdit from ages ago. But these days, hell, I just use VS Code.

Totally curious how your prompts went for this. Did you give it an existing code base? Just told it what the game looked like? Assumed it knew already?

Absolutely not, no.

I have some on my private property, because you don't have an expectation of privacy when trespassing on private property. But in public, we all should not feel under constant surveillance. There's a reason why China et al love total surveillance of the population so much.

Unless they acquired your explicit consent BEFORE the information gathering, the argument would still be the same.

Not at all.

But corruption and planned cost overruns and all kinds of "bid low then add costs later" tactics are working - for the politicians, the managers, the shareholders.

We absolutely do know how to run large projects and how to build large infrastructure. It's just that applying that knowledge is less profitable than fucking over taxpayers.
