raverbashing··on After 7 years in production, Scarf has reluctantly moved away from Haskell
My experience has been that the more type/safety checks the more chances there are of the AI getting stuck into a stupid loop

Because a lot of times it's missing the way of making the needed steps for the conversion (or it's just not obvious)

Sometimes it needs some nudging

Also this comment is a bit generic, it can also apply to cases where it's not an obvious "type check" but a redundancy that needs to exist but the AI can't get around

Most places in the south already have AC

And the ones that don't have it, oh well, too bad :)

What a surprise

You don't sell a company if you don't believe its future can be better with you in command (most of the time)

Lol the Kernel is "easy" it's userspace and distributed systems that are a b*tch

Ok but that makes even less sense

Yes on paper but no

raverbashing··on Chat Control 1.0 and 2.0 Explained
The irony is that those questions can only be legally questioned when they're approved (and sometimes have a defined implementation)

Then there's the whole kerfuffle about how to actually implement this

So the thing that comforts me is that it's a dumpster fire all the way down and I'm sure there will be plenty of legal complaints about it

Yes it's a dirty trick

And the worse part is: they do that because the alternative means you're building a railway on a surface tunnel because some people don't like it (or worse, not building anything)

> The European citizen has zero (0) influence on the members or actions of the EC

Whenever one reads EC you need to read: "All of the heads of state in a trenchcoat". Macron, Merz, etc

And yet this is an EP maneuver

And let's not forget on the American lobbyists pushing for it (Including Big Tech)

1 - this is about Chat Control 1.0

2 - The vote was on the "Urgency requirement"

> parliamentarians starting their summer break whenever they want will never not be funny

Eh. This is the least problematic thing here. Some MEPs might just be on official PTO.

raverbashing··on Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter
Which makes me think this would be more impressive with a self-contained local model, not something that talks to the cloud
raverbashing··on Do you need separate systems when you already have Postgres?
Until the vibecoders find out they need to manually manage their instances (even if it's RDS or such) and that it all goes over their head

I bet Sam, Dario and others have a good salary and an even better stock plan

The good thing about open capital markets is the possibility to invest in the upside. The downside is who gets holding the bag when the money runs out

raverbashing··on Germany’s Infineon opens major chip plant as EU seeks tech autonomy
> Hardest project to date for him and mainly because TSMC was setting the pace.

I can imagine their pace might be accelerated but better than endless discussions, shuffling and never shipping

raverbashing··on Canadian boy, 11, dies of rabies after waking to bat on his face
Yes yes to all this and here's the thing

> if there's even the slightest suspicion that someone has been bitten, scratched etc

With Bats, always considered you've been bitten. Especially in situations like "woke up with a bat in the bedroom" - unless you can confirm the type of bat, take this as yes, it's hospital time

As noticed by the article, bat bites can be pretty painless

raverbashing··on Canadian boy, 11, dies of rabies after waking to bat on his face
> Any direct human contact with a bat is an indication for rabies postexposure prophylaxi - medical treatment given immediately after potential exposure to a rabid animal.

Yes, this is the correct take here

This is one of those things that will kill you and it will hurt the whole time you're dying

Though on the good side it does away with antivaxxers pretty quickly

Cool, I'm surprised they are a relatively newer invention (70's)

Of course they were bound to be surpassed by electrical cars with remote controls ;)

Looks like history rhymes

Reducing your costs is also an advantage, but I'm not surprised such binary thinking is present here
