The load-bearing kind.

LLMs are really good at deobfuscating or even decompiling code.

Also, at 300MW it isn't exactly small - that's the same order of magnitude as regular reactors.

Anyway 30% is my number, but the more pressing issue is time. How long until they actually fire it up?

So another Gerhard Schröder?

I still remember some of the lyrics to Der Steuersong.

I was thinking about this the other day in terms of tech debt: most certainly it's easier to introduce it than pay it off, meaning while the models are still improving it's no big deal, but should they ever stop, we're in for a bad time.

Can't they just use this powerful AI to build a sufficient sandbox?

Seems like the first thing one would do.

Yeah, we're new rich, but we're also old poor - the majority of millennials and the entire gen x have seen what a proper 3rd world country Poland was back in the 90s - that's the bulk of the current workforce. We've navigated worse crises.

The threat of war is largely in the minds of investors.

I don't know if Putin is crazy enough to chance it, but I wouldn't put it past him to do so.

But even then, Russia would need to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and that is not something you can pull off in a week, or even a month.

True, but other large EU members also did a better job replenishing their stores:

For instance, Italy has more storage capacity per capita despite very similar consumption (~10TWh/1mln population) and they're already at 86%+.

Meanwhile indeed Poland has much less storage (about a third of Germany per capita), but it also uses it less (half the consumption of Germany per capita).

I must ask: what the hell are the Germans waiting for?

I feel like this is overdramatized a bit.

For instance: it's mentioned that EU gas storage is at 67% and Germany's at 56%.

What is not mentioned though is that Poland's storage is at 97% because the previous administration, for better or worse, was paranoid enough to invest in a sizeable marine gas terminal and the current one stocked up early.

Regarding real estate: adjusted for inflation prices peaked 2.5 years ago, interest rates are also much lower than back then. Nobody is buying because all the Ukrainian refugees who were moving to Poland are here already and that's the last bump in population this country will see for the foreseeable future.

Also there's the threat of war on Polish soil, which affects investor sentiment.

I second that other comment - this is still above average in terms of LinkedIn content.

I was being sarcastic how despite being a legitimate business on the surface, their practices are anything but.

I worked for the "gaming" (as they call themselves) industry.

They seem to have not gotten the memo that they're a legitimate business now.

Where I'm from religious observance went down considerably and permanently - it was declining before the pandemic, but it reached a tipping point only in the early 20s.

Apparently everyone was attending mass largely because everyone else was.

> Like who the fuck actually enjoys acquantainces' children's birthdays without a beer or two?

That is a fair point, but personally I enjoy the time during which my child is playing with their peers and not trying to have me as a substitute for these kinds of interactions.

Interestingly, the merge conflict was caused by a much greater pile of code shoveled in there, meaning the spend is self-sustaining.

I guess we'll find out after Anthropic's IPO.

"Borsook" as it is spoken means "badger" to most Slavic language speakers. Whoever was the immigration officer back then was noting things down by ear.

With the proliferation of Abominable Intelligence? Quite the contrary!

This isn't even its final form.

Try this in a language that has fewer than 100 million native speakers and/or is generally regarded as difficult/unnecessary to learn and you'll find the same, but with spelling/grammar errors, some of them reminiscent of how a five year old would speak.

> But just go ahead and give the latest models (Opus 5.5 / Astra 6 as of today) another try. See what they are capable of and read the code which they produce.

Well, for one, they're capable of draining our (or companies') wallets.

I resolved a huge merge conflict for $60 today. Opus 5.5 did a great job and spent just 1h 16min on this. I could probably run six such sessions today, if I disregarded the need to read and understand the code.

This money has to come from somewhere and my concern is that it will be from decreasing the number of people hired and/or their salaries.

At the same time I firmly believe people who had a tendency to produce tech debt will keep doing that, regardless how brilliant LLMs will become. Unscrewing this is going to cost a lot of money.

Good to know, thanks.

Manufacturers really push those batteries to the limit - I resoldered the battery to a tail light that I dropped and currently the highest power mode just flashes at a high rate, which isn't how it originally worked - clearly not enough current from the battery.

Both were protected - it's just that the battery I bought was genuinely the wrong size - it wasn't 60mm in any axis.

Word of warning: batteries from AliExpress might not be the size it says on the tin.

Also: not all lights require soldering to change the battery. Some brands, like Fenix, offer lights where you can change the battery on the go.

I had a light from a lesser known Taiwanese brand - an INFINI Lava 500. At some point it stopped working, so I took it apart with my iFixit kit and inside was a 102660 battery (1700mAh instead of the advertised 2600mAh), so I bought a 102560 unit - 10mm thick, 25mm wide and 60mm long (supposedly).

It was a good few millimetres longer and didn't fit. What's worse - AliExpress stopped shipping batteries to my address, because due to safety regulations you can't ship batteries via airmail, it's just that one vendor who chanced it, so now I couldn't even buy a smaller replacement.

Local vendors didn't have anything nearly the same format, so I gave up and bought a LEZYNE LED Macro Drive 1300XL. Inside there are two 18650s wrapped in a pack that has a plug, so should they die, you can replace the battery without soldering.

I've been on both sides of such conversations and being asked such a question as a candidate to me would be a roundabout way of saying "we're not intending to hire you".

Anyway, I don't usually take feedback. Every company has its own culture and they're often in contradiction to each other. Companies with a strong culture that you have to conform to tend to have high turnaround. Also the guy interviewing me doesn't have to fully represent said culture because people are people and plug in their own opinions and biases regularly.

I was surprised by GP's comment because to my knowledge there doesn't exist a device of this type which wouldn't require puncturing the skin.

The automotive industry or, should I say, Volkswagen isn't interested in state-of-the-art chips, so the fabs won't be built - simple.

Europe will keep making manufacturing equipment, but leave the actual production to those who have the grid capacity and capital.

Well, that is a hard problem to solve. There's around a sugar cube's worth of glucose in an adult bloodstream and it's not as prominent optically as oxygenated blood.

You must be living in one of those nicer parts where tourism is present.

Quite often it's really a question of gut flora and lack of knowledge regarding good eating habits.

Also fat cells are endocrinologically active, so they try to compel the person to, well, get fatter.

I've been doing this the hard way lately and there's still much that I don't know, because food and lifestyles used to be different, so my parents only told me what they knew from theirs.

To illustrate just how different, my great-grandmother reportedly disliked food that she described as "rich" - too calorie dense for her taste. By this definition cottage cheese was "rich".

I've found a channel doing the same format, but driving - @JapanRoadTrip

No commentary or music - just cruisin' in 4k HDR.

Italy is hugely dependent on natural gas for electricity, so it actually makes economic sense.

South Korea has a lot of nuclear power for related reasons - they can't risk being too dependent on LNG imports, lest some of their more volatile neighbours capture the shipments.
