people are talking about timing attacks on state updates in the universe, hopefully we can exploit it

it turns out you need half the people to do the same job

pretty much with most groups, from the cdc to ftc to fifa :)
of course they are, its a choice do you let the state do that or the family
it is education standard if you are on the right side of it, sometimes you see it as the formation of the new soviet man if you are not

home schooling is practically illegal in most of western europe

and school is taking more and more of the child's life

ohh, how would the EU survive, the omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient US tech that has improved our lives beyond recognition, and we are eternally grateful to the tech gods.
they should've used rust
where are they gonna go when few allow wfh?

my advice is dont stress, whatever you do, some people will not like it

for some reason people think what we have now is good, and they say "dont reinvent the wheel" but there is no wheel, what we have is just garbage, 50 years and later we still cant beat the "unix pipe"

we have to keep trying to make a wheel

it feels weird, like watching dreams that are almost consistent but something is always a bit off, makes you question your sanity

i personally started having different dreams after using gpt and stable diffusion for few weeks

is twitter going to be profitable if it can run with 10% of the workforce?
this is absolutely amazing

i love it

or, you know, pay for the great software you use?
also has astonishing influence to get invited to a job interview

i had a friend who changed their name in their CV and got 90% success rate, and was close to 10% before

so it will just be 20 mil a year with 3 jr devs

sounds ok?
