Is it really that hard to just apologize? Even if it wasn’t your intention, words can still be hurtful.

I don’t know which country you’re from, but I’m going to guess that the old are catered to because they actually vote and the young doesn’t.

If the younger generation becomes a sizeable voter demographic, then the politicians will notice. A new party might also show up to take those vote, giving them influence and negotiation power.

But for that to happen, the younger generation have to vote. That’s why I’m so adamant in discussions with acquaintainces that they need to vote and that the only valid reason to not vote is legality.

Why would any politician care about your concerns if you don’t vote?

I’ve heard this said by acquaintances before, but even when someone finally says what they want to hear they find another reason to not vote… without exception.

Whenever the topic shows up I always tell people to vote and that there’s no good reason to not vote if you legally can.

I am wondering where these more complex elevator algorithms are deployed, because I never see them.

I was recently at a Radisson hotel in Germany where I was tried to summon an car, but none would appear for a long time. I believe that someone was keeping the doors open on their floor to wait for someone. The fact that all the other elevators were passing by in both directions was actually a bit infuriating as well.

At that moment I really wished for an algorithm that would recognize when an car spent a significant amount of time on one floor and then reassign the other floors to a new elevator.

> I said it elsewhere in this thread differently but people want to pretend the options are:

> 1. Paying a local designer to make a bespoke beautiful poster

> OR

> 2. Use AI

You are wrong and trying to make people you disagree with sound stupid. Stop it.

I’ll tell you then that the options I believe in are:

1. Paying a local designer to make a bespoke beautiful poster

2. don’t

3. Use AI

And I accept both option 1 and 2.

> That's the definition of judging a book by its cover.

I’m not sure whether I disagree that a menu is a book or whether judging a book by its cover is a bad thing in this instance.

A menu has to list certain allergens, but not all. That would be inconvenient. With pictures however, people with allergies can more efficiently rule out or order dishes based on what they see.

Generated images breaks with this. I’ve seen multiple places not add certain ingredients to their images that would be there in a photo. I think this is irresponsible. You are free to disagree though, but you need a proper argument if you want to convince us.

Yes.

I'm starting to see more and more generated images of food at restaurants where I live, but I'm happy to say that its still somewhat rare.

My partner and I usually just give a one star review each on Google when we pass by a place like this and then carry on.

Great decision from Codeberg. I’m only becoming more and more happy with my decision to transition away from GitHub.

You are free to believe what you want, but what you describe does not match what I’ve seen from society as a whole. I’m just going to leave this here: https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/ove...

The decline of independent thoughts for one. As people become reliant on LLMs to do their thinking for them and solve all problems that they stumble upon, they become a shell of their previous self.

Sadly, this is already happening.

> I agree and to clarify, I meant that the reverse substitution doesn't happen.

Re-reading your comment, yeah its obvious that that was what you meant. My apologies, that’s on me.

> æ (U+00E6) is not a ligature; it's a mostly obsolete character, with different semantics (or phonetics) than ae.

Reading that a letter in my alphabet is mostly obsolete feels really weird. No rebuttal, just a comment.

> It would never substitute æ for ae; that would misspell the word as much as substituting an o.

While that is correct, a lot of other systems actually do this exact substition. If your name contains æ it will be substituted with ae in passports, plane tickets and random other systems throughout your life.

My own username on this website is an example of a similar substition. The oe should be read as the single character ø.

> Free if you're already in the Microsoft ecosystem, which most companies are.

Not for long, at least for the EU and I assume for us in the EEA. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulat...

Quick correction: You won't get it if you're in the EEA, which the EU is a subset of.

Sincerely, a Norwegian guy who thinks the difference is important.

> Really Microsoft should be auditing the search that copilot executes, its actually a bit misleading to be auditing the file as accessed when copilot has only read the indexed content of the file, I don't say I've visited a website when I've found a result of it in Google

Not my domain of expertise, but couldn't you at some point argue that the indexed content itself is an auditable file?

It's not literally a file necessarily, but if they contain enough information that they can be considered sensitive, then where is the significant difference?

I agree. Personally, I barely use any LLM tools professionally as a developer, and I don't use it at all in my free time. I do however have some coworkers that use it more heavily. Having a culture of proper code reviews and requirements that you need to know what the code in your PR does ensures that we have create proper solutions.

I don't think I could enjoy working at a place where people didn't know the content of the commits they made. I remember the early talks of vibe coding being that you're not even supposed to look at the code, and have been very happy that I haven't met anyone professionally that codes like that.

> Always: > > Thoroughly review and understand the generated code

I think this is good advice actually. We do allow LLM agents where I work, but you still need to understand every line of code that you write or generate. That’s probably why we still do physical interviews as well.

The flagged comment I responded to claimed that no EU country had free speech in their constitution. My comment was in response to that.

What are you talking about? Multiple EU countries have free speech written in their constituion.

Article 5 in German basic law (their constitution): https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.h... (translated)

77th paragraph in the Danish constituion: https://www.thedanishparliament.dk/-/media/sites/ft/pdf/publ... (translated)

Edit: the flagged comment I replied to claimed that no EU country had free speech in their constitution. This is objectively wrong, and is why I wrote my comment.

You can't call Trump a fascist, he has yet to have the trains run on time.

Not true at all, Elon Musk has already cut off access for Ukraine because of his own personal views[1]. There's a reason why he's currently hated in most of Europe.

But why should I care about the contract when the providers violates it as well? When you provide your services in the country I reside in but refuse to follow our national laws, you have violated the contract as well.

I live in Norway, and even "serious" advertisers shows me alcohol and gambling advertisiments. This is strictly forbidden by norwegian law, yet I have seen multiple advertisements of this kind from Google, Facebook and Discovery. Discovery in particular has just recently agreed to follow the law for television broadcasts, to be fair.

GDPR is also violated a lot, especially by advertising corporations. I have never consented to the vast amount of tracking that I'm subjected to when browsing the internet, even though I have that right.

It's not like they are obligated to provide services to my country either. If european laws are too strict, they can always leave instead of violating our rights.

In what way? GDPR applies regardless of what country the page is served from as long as it offers any product or service to EU inhabitants.

The cookie popup is truly annoying though. There's no way that this website is in any form of compliance with GDPR...
