In stereotypical winter you can't add enough layers since if you do add layers so your face doesn't hurt you get accosted by the police because going to public places in a balaclava hasn't been legal since the late 50s.
In winter as it actually happens you need fewer layers but they need to be waterproof because winter means rain at +2 °C.
One thing to note is that only some fridges don't have vents. Ones advertising "no frost" or "low frost" as a feature do have vents that serve to keep the air circulating and remove moisture from the air. They might still follow a different approach from American fridges, though.
The rationale here is that if you don't give handouts like that to major corporations, they'll go build their data center somewhere they do get handouts. And then you lose the tax income and jobs they generate.
Of course it sucks that the logic works like that but they do have the ball and the shareholders expect them to take it only to the most profitable location.
Yeah, and in the 70s they estimated they'd need about twice that to make significant progress in a reasonable timeframe. Fusion research is underfunded – especially when you look at how the USA dump money into places like the NIF, which research inertial confinement fusion.
Inertial confinement fusion is great for developing better thermonuclear weapons but an unlikely candidate for practical power generation. So from that one billion bucks a year, a significant amount is pissed away on weapons research instead of power generation candidates like tokamaks and stellarators.
I'm glad that China is funding fusion research, especially since they're in a consortium with many Western nations. When they make progress, so do we (and vice versa).
Back in the 2000s that page was simply called "Links". Just a collection of links to whichever cool homepages you wanted to share with people.
At least the fusion guys are making actual progress and can point to being wildly underfunded – and they predicted this pace of development with respect to funding back in the late 70s.
Meanwhile, the AI guys have all the funding in the world, keep telling about how everything will change in the next few months, actually trigger layoffs with that rhetoric, and deliver very little.
I agree. I cannot condone the killing of a person.
However, I can appreciate the irony of someone with his opinions on gun control getting gunned down. Even if I still prefer it hadn't happened.
Don't worry; we'll find an artist so bland that we'll get zero points even if we're the only participant. The audience will fall asleep and wake up a week later with no recollection of the event. The victory will be awarded to Sweden on principle.
Auto-writing boilerplate code doesn't change the fact that you still have to reimplement the business logic, which is what we're talking about. If you want to address the "reinventing the wheel" problem, LLMs would have to be able to spit out complete architectures for concrete problems.
Nobody complains about reinventing the wheel on problems like "how do I test a method", they're complaining about reinventing the wheel on problems like "how can I refinance loans across multiple countries in the SEPA area while being in accord with all relevant laws".
Mind you, a lot of this reimplementation is because those 1000 other implementations that came before all haven't had their source code released to the public. No amount of vibecoding is going to help there because those LLMs were never trained on code that was never publicly released.
"It's me or your video games."
"My video games don't suddenly talk to me so it must be you."
"Correct."
I would take a screenshot of the invite and deliver a ten minute lecture on how this meeting is keeping me from actually doing my job.
Second picture is a screenshot of my team's backlog.
Locations don't matter; they'll throw me out of the meeting at the second picture at the latest.
