The grid has been forced to change faster than the operator would have liked it to in many places, which is a good thing.

In the main, although the Spanish national blackout just over a year ago suggests that maybe it changed too fast. (Hard to use a stronger word than "maybe" because my understanding is that the report on the causes didn't really say anything).

We are a republic for this reason.

No, you are a republic because your founding fathers, probably ascribing James III more power than he really had as a post-Glorious Revolution monarch, decided that head of state should not be a hereditary position.

Whitespace is a HUMAN affordance for a HUMAN audience. If you think it looks kinda okay, that's all that's needed.

There's a bit more to it than that: consistent whitespace means that version control diffs contain relevant changes and you don't need to filter out the changes that just remove some spaces from the end of a line. This is also really a human affordance, but while there are humans in the loop either approving changes or needing to understand when something changed, it's a valuable one. And there's a general principle here which is directly relevant to LLM-generated code, which is that until LLMs have minimising the diffs as part of their goals they're going to produce diffs which take a lot of effort for humans to review.

And if you need to relay any information you make a note(for yourself) or talk it over(development group).
But if you are a programmer, the truth is, a programs code is the documentation. And you read/compile/run/tweak the code and that tells you what you need to know.
I have walked into projects blind where the client had the executables. Along with what they thought was the developers source but no one could get anything to compile.
It was like archeology and walking into a failing project as an outside contractor often is.

Funny! "The smarter the phone, the dumber the user."

Today's AI is being used as (ad placement automation). What I see is the info I am looking for buried in the supposed AI return. So I avoid it where ever I can.
Just think! Coming next is, Our AI Search subscription is just x per month.

Sure glad I'm in the automation business and not the AI business.

This is going to be fun to watch! They got Trump woo hoo! And the big AI companies OpenAI, Anthropic are on board because this is a huge barrier to entry.
Now we will see what the other 49 states plus the territories all pass. Just think, tens of thousands of new agentic jobs filling out the required regulatory paperwork no one will ever look at.
Wait, the AI agents will be reviewing things, me bad ;)

No, the law of large numbers says that if you take lots of samples then the sample average will be very close to the underlying expected value, but it doesn't say that the underlying expected value of a binary valued random variable must be 0.5. To take a simple, albeit obviously pessimising, example, if we take two truly random uniform bit generators then we can combine them with bitwise AND to get a truly random bit generator with expected value 0.25.

Truly random doesn't necessarily imply a uniform distribution.

many journalist need to learn is Activism != Journalism.
The journalist that learn that lesson have a much better chance @ surviving.

"We need quality, not quantity" Exactly! These companies built Massive Automation Machines just assuming the Intelligence would follow.
Automation Machines can easily pump out the quantity. The problem is the quality sucks since there is no intelligence backing things up!
And now they are stuck with mountains of debt and no Intelligence in sight. Along with a customer base thinks Artificial Intelligence is already here since that is the message sales and marketing have been pushing out.

There's plenty of corruption in Spanish politics, but it doesn't work by direct open donation. If a direct donation is made, it's in secret in a brown envelope. Alternatively, companies with a viewpoint to push might hire a company with connections to a politician to, say, produce and run their stand in an industry expo at a very generous rate.

and the other supposed AI companies along with their sales and marketing.
Automation is a great tool for doing repetitive tasks and automation is all these companies have.
It takes the Intelligence part of their AI(Artificial Intelligence) business to actually layout a properly constructed, documented and tested fix that should go along with any submission.
And that is beyond the capabilities of the current Massive Automation Machines they are selling today as AI.

Have @ Unions in the private economy, things may get rocky in the short term but they will reach an equilibrium eventually.
