Fine, but most people talk about AI, and AI datacenter, and AI coding to refer to LLM, so it is what I use, well knowing we are talking about LLM. And while I grant you that the entire software development world is not ready for LLM, having spent decades optimizing for people writing software, there is a lot that we learned in the last year of consistent use applied to software development.

LLM exhibiting true intelligence or the appearance of intelligence is inconsequential if the final result mimics the reasoning capabilities of humans working on software.

I use AI at work. The use of AI requires knowledge and projects structured around the use of AI. If you do it properly, AI code is much better (100% clean code architecture adherence, tdd with >90% coverage, deploy gates on quality and security, easy dependency upgrade). Since we started using AI properly our codebase quality skyrocketed. Less bugs, more features, less insecure code. You do not know how to use AI properly. That is fine, most don’t, we are discovering how to use a new tool that change every week now. That does not mean the problem is the tool.

Not using AI for writing code in late 2026 makes sense only for learning purposes. To not “vibecode” is unjustified self inflicted pain otherwise. Good use of AI with latest models generate better and more maintainable code. I do not see how that is unfortunate. Bad practices and old bad models were indeed an issue. Now things have changed.

No, the article above is factual. Propaganda always contains facts (governement is weak) with falsehoods (the reason for the protests is immigration) to push credibly for a direction (vote le pen).

The entire certification process of the components used in nuclear is a mess in Europe.

Parts needs to be certified multiple times for multiple entities, and the same is true for each component used in building those parts. Each country in Europe has different regulations, so the same design needs to be adapted and recertified so it is always the first of a kind. The process is done multiple times during construction as the criteria changes with continuous renegotiating and amendments to the contracts.

That makes the costs explode. Nuclear in China is as safe and costs 3 to 7 times less. The difference is know how (they never stopped building), standardization and scale.

Nuclear is expensive, but lot of those expense are unnecessary self inflicted burocracy. We know already how to make something cheap and safe, like we do in aerospace. It is about wanting to do it. Nuclear works at night. Natural gas cannot be the alternative. Battery could be, but as of now the technology is not ready, even more expensive for long term storage and cannot scale fast enough.

We can make nuclear the way forward for a century at least (not because of lack of fuel, that is not an issue, really). It is just understanding if we want to for the right reasons. It is a political issue, not a technical one.

“If” people stop buying. People is still buying.

Meizu decided to drop out of phone manufacturing because of RAM price. Same with ASUS. Nothing decided not to release a CMF phone this year because of RAM prices.

All major consumer hardware manufacturers reports thinner margins.

Do you have any reason to believe they all lies even if wholesale RAM prices are public and show increased manufacturing costs?

No, because it is not people buying that drives RAM price up. It is data centers. People not buying just makes consumer facing companies go bankrupt. It will not bring down prices.

Trump admin hates on the Muslim brotherhood while striving to follow the same steps with Christian nationalism. Extremist Islam is MAGA dream world with another flavor.

To be completely honest, RFK is saying exactly that: the cultural output of the Arab world stagnated. I disagree completely with the why (Muslim brotherhood), but it is true the output in the sciences is not the same as during the golden age.

All those romance language speaking countries consume english content daily. Nobody in Italy reads Spanish or French news. Italian speak better English than they speak French. I am not really sure the language similarity is a factor tbh. I think education and protest culture are much bigger factors. Albania and Serbia speak totally different languages.

Yes, Germany france and italy

STmicroelectronics and Infineon are the only one I can think of. I use STm boards for embedded projects

They want to find vulnerabilities, even vulnerabilities that you cannot use or that you have no evidence are getting used, to justify canceling the vote later.

Why do you need to do maintenance on the wiring and the plumbing? Those are things you repair if needed once every 20 years maybe. I had to replace an RCD switch for 20$ last year and that’s it. Foundations and roofs you do not touch like ever, I lived in a house that got no foundations maintenance in 600 years. For heating maintenance you need to bleed the radiators and cleanup the aircon radiators and filters, both of which are free.

EDIT: I mean, this probably is just part of the wood vs masonry difference. Probably wood houses are just more expensive to maintain

more like: “pools after 2022 are clearly false (over 100% turnout), made at gunpoint (supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity is a crime in Russia, and voting was not private but door-to-door), with incredible selection bias (40% of the population, mostly those that did not want to be under Russian occupation fled) and no international observer”

It is really .ml bias that the united nations (who certified Dunbas elections as illegal 143 in favour, 5 against, Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua, Russia and Syria) are always wrong, but the Russian government, a dictatorship with proven demonstrable fake elections, invading other countries since forever, is somewhat right, even when they have clear vested interest in lying all the time.

It must be a strange sensation to let go of logic in such a deep way that Russia propaganda makes sense to you.

what kind of maintenance do you actually need? I do very little in terms of maintenance, and most of that is just free. Cleaning mostly (radiators, windows, boiler, appliances filters and descaling) and checking (RCD switch test). Painting every 5 years on walls and exterior wood and trim is cheap, as is checking fixing the silicon sealants. I cannot think of anything else: usually in europe we have smaller houses with no garden made of masonry. We do not need to worry as much about UV or termites.

Now imperialist military conquest is called “liberation”. Doublespeak at his finest.

People in lugansk wanted to be part of Ukraine. In 2014, the last reliable pool showed 70% of the interviewed wanting to be part of Ukraine.

In general what people in lugansk wanted was being part of an independent Ukraine with extensive regional autonomy and frictionless economic integration with Russia. What they got is invasion from Russia, coercive legal assimilation, property confiscation, human abuses, forced conscription.

I know that Australia is totally different but as a European is crazy to me that I spend around 500€ a year for all the above and you spend tens of thousands
