Sounds like a failed state in that regard.
It will be approved it seems, but there will be a condition that you cannot speed more than 10% of above the limit. Which still for me is hard to understand why you then don’t just raise the limit if you think that going 10% above the law is fine?
A car should not have a “break the law” mode.
If speed limits are impractical they have to be fixed.
Tens of thousands dead in traffic due to the “common practice” of driving unsafely. We have the opportunity here to make the roads safe but apparently mr musk doesn’t see the need.
I hope the Nordics prevail and the Europeans don’t follow his bullshit.
Ah, the “unusually unlucky” cables serving Taiwan and in the Baltics.
Like statistically impossibly unlucky.
I think leaving to the US is more a function of business climate that it is of who are the investors
I don’t know what the point is that you’re hinting at?
I read it as confirmation that there is apparently no shortage of investor money in Europe, since US investors are willing and able to invest here.

All of which is more expensive, per resident, in the countryside.
Sorry, you’re right it’s bad behaviour and I’ll stop it.
But I’m not really pushing an agenda here. I use Claude a ton myself.
I think that bigger context windows help, but I feel that for AI to cross this chasm, it needs to be able to encode more abstract context knowledge. I think the holy grail here is online learning.
I think my point is that its sometimes (!) easier to use the manual chisel rather than go for the automatic chisel and then fix its mistakes.
It's the uncanny valley of AI. It's still not quite good enough yet that you can trust it blindly on a big codebase, so you still have to read and understand everything - which is often harder than just writing it up yourself.
EDIT: don’t get me wrong. I still think AI is incredibly useful for a lot of tasks! But when implementing an architecturally hairy thing, I find it less stressful and equally quick to jump down to the editor level and use AI just for code completion.

I think this misses something.
AI is going to struggle at building a consistent internal model of the domain into the software unless you’re able to give a structured explanation of the domain.
If you’re just giving it a set of inputs and expected outputs, it’s not going to generalise well and fail at out of sample input, unless the AI already understands the domain from its training set.
Being able to give a structured explanation of a domain (and being able to judge if the internal model of the software makes sense) is not the same as having experience in a domain.
Lots of ppl with domain experience can tell a right output from a false one, but can’t tell you why.
This isn’t a response to you, but just so it has been said: 3 to 8-year-old kids have no business being on YouTube alone. AI or not.
You are contradicting yourself. If you're hoarding the data for yourself you're not going to develop something useful. Sharing the data means that it will be integrated into the big LLMs, which will be useful "for their own country".
My point is that this is clearly out of the lab.
I don't know what to say. I may not like it, you may not think it's actually intelligent, you may not think it's going to change the world - but how can you not see that this is revolutionary?
Check out Technology Connections. This is way, way, way more in depth than anything one can find on TV.
I’m not saying that you’re wrong.
But it’s worth noting that any good technology starts off being called a toy and with most people not being able to imagine its usefulness.
I hope that we will soon have ways to change the tone of AI writing, I hate that all news articles now have that same AI voice.
> that teaches you how to manipulate people
Well, it's called "... and influence people", so I see where you were coming from in your assumption.
> do your hobby with other people, frequently
I think this advice can be refined.
The goal is to meet people with shared interests, regularly.
You may like to work out, but unless you enjoy talking and thinking about working out, the gym isn't the right place!
You may like to hike, but you may not enjoy talking and thinking about hiking. You may still find friends in the hiking group, because as you spend time together you discover shared interests. But you may also discover that you have very little in common with the people who like hiking.
That's why it's so easy to make friends in University:
You spend a lot of time together AND you have a shared interest: The major you all chose!
On the other hand, if you're into ... trains... you need to find places where people go that like to talk and think about trains! That's not always easy!
What isn't cheap, though, is maintaining the plumbing of the communal system, especially outside cities.
