"Except that nobody cares anymore." Noone (from mid-management) cared about it also before. You hit the deadline, get promoted and leave the technical debt to the next one. Even if you're the one to deal with it, you set up the next project, get the budget, prioritize the issues etc. Not much changed in this regard with LLMs

The post implied the opposite. However, if the German girl writes in German, probably she wants to date in German, the dating platform follows her wish by making it hard to extract the text, translate it, and eventually waste her time.

why do you think the German girl wants you to translate her profile?
Re:Game-theoretic analysis of the 2025 federal elections in Germany

The German federal election of 2025 represents an interesting case for game-theoretic analysis because the parties agreed to exclude the second-largest party from any coalition. Besides, one party failed to pass the 5% threshold which also had essential power-redistribution consequences.

ok, I see that it probably comes from this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Sinaitic_script where the "fish" ("dag") hieroglyph is used. However, this wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalet) refers to the "door" (delet) hieroglyph.

Letter "D" comes from "door" not from "fish". It's wrong Egyptian hieroglyph.

Quote: "ad-based financing means that the companies have an interest in manipulating our attention on behalf of advertisers, instead of letting us connect as we wish." - and right after that there's an ad, for me it has a taste of hypocrisy. Why does nyt let the ads in, instead of letting me read as I wish?
