It is more honest to say that those in power prefers it. Polling in the US shows consistent support for universal healthcare and making tuition at public colleges free for instance - both examples of the dreaded "big government".

And yes. I agree, the whole world has gotten a fine demonstration of your values.

It is incredibly sad that it has come to this, but the US has shown time and again that it prefers autocrats over democracies. This has been a painful lesson for much of Europe, and one we are still processing. But we need to reduce our dependence on the US. Any dependency will become leverage at some point.

The US used to be the good guys.

As a matter of fact, yes. Specifically, to the Greenland region.

Although a golden bridge of grossly outsized proportions and festooned with tacky ornamentation would be much preferred.

Apparently, its current purpose is a demo for their "Copilot" AI technology.

With all of GitHub's great new AI features, it writes all your code for you! It doesn't matter whether the site is up at any given moment; just download your newly completed app at some point then the site is online. You're free to kick back, relax and scroll your social feeds because you don't actually have to do anything anymore. This is truly a golden era!

To cut surface tension, I spray my compressed puck with dilute 1% detergent (dishwashing) and compress again after it soaks in. Espresso comes out stronger and with more crema. I cannot detect the detergent (lemon).

This is why NASA always packs a tin of Bondo with the mission supplies.

So you prompt the LLM to "find all the bugs".

Even if the LLM can find every last bug (which in turn assumes that this type of problem isn't NP-hard or has some issue that Godel would point out), just defining to the LLM exactly what a "bug" is seems to be pretty much the same thing as those formal specifications that you just convincingly dismissed as inadequate.

I don't think that there's anything magical about LLMs that would let them get around fundamental mathematical roadblocks.

I am so fucking tired of edge lords trying to shove the world into their infantile hellscapes.

It would mean that there's an 83% chance that the rest of us would be spared from more posts expounding on your silly line of reasoning.

If that's the case, the next time you play Russian roulette, why don't you go ahead and put in 5 bullets?

If what you say is true, then why is everyone freaking out over the prospect of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons?

From now on, I'm only drinking soda in October.

Ignoring the fact that you don't seem to know what a laptop battery is, it looks like you could have a promising career as a data center site planner.

Not to mention, blocking more ads and other unnecessary stuff == better performance on the stuff you were actually trying to view. It very likely comes out as a net performance win even with a ~20% disadvantage in raw CPU speed.
