Ironically, to complete the pattern, the US has just established a (hereditary?) dictatorship in it's own green land. Via elections.

Isn't that the supposed point of it though? At least how it is marketed/hyped. Don't use your brain, you don't need one, spend all your thinking energy on... dunno, something else, and leave all the "mundane" stuff to AI. Just pay for the tokens, it's going to make you 10x more efficient, the $1000/month is worth it.

Some of my favourite SO posts (not all funny):

I hope they stay with us. I don't much care for the company or what's left of the community.


I always associated SO issues with the unpaid moderators, who were not "bought" but rather inherited I suppose.

Now:

"How do I do this thing in Django 6?"

"This is an excellent question, and shows a real attention to detail! Let me walk you through it in detail, with a particular focus on Django version and the evolution of the semantics there.

[...]

Bottom line: it's exactly the same as in Django 1.3 back in August 2011. But by anchoring to a specific version, you make the question unambiguous and much more insightful.m"


You can just... ask it not to do that

No it isn’t.

I just hope there's .ai domains for all of them.

A while back we ran out of .com domains and that burst the bubble. Or something like this.


Or just investment quotas requiring AI in the portfolio. I suspect it's mostly this. Or getting included in more indices etc.

The more trendy boxes you tick, the broader the universe of people whose box you tick and who can thus invest.


Awful as it is, I can easily imagine how it happened... Probably says more about me than the code.

You're a true Romantic: Idealist and Pragmatist in one.

A broader issue is that I understand processing of ores of lithium and rare earth minerals is generating a lot of toxic waste, and that's one of the principal reasons it is not done in the rich Western countries. China doesn't seem to mind as much. There are minable ores in the West also, but not exploited for this reason, among others.

It's quite the conundrum. What do you do? Is the energy independence worth the pollution? And is the pollution OK if it affects someone poor far away.


Pros and cons. I believe in Romania, where brown bears are very prevalent, aggressive dog breeds are used to protect sheep... But they are so aggressive that they pose an overall greater risk to humans than the bears themselves: https://romania-mountains.com/shepherd-dogs-in-romania-what-...


KBD’s are a hunting dogs. They hold bears in place with personality and it is common for them to work alone. In North America, they are used to “shepherd” bears away from human habitats.

For example in the US Park Service link, you can see a single dog riding with a single park ranger.


That's why they're called lifestock guardian dogs. Romanians don't have a proper word for it, they're called "shepherd dogs". Bad description. Shepherd dogs like Border Collies herd sheep. The lifestock guardian kind fend off bears, wolves and hikers alike. They're very territorial and their territory is wherever the livestock happens to be at that point in time. The native breeds are usually manageable, while the Caucasian Shepherd and the Kangal are not, at least not without shouting, stick waving and throwing rocks at them. The Carpathian "Shepherd" Dog is now exported to Italy to fend off wolves.


Love the breeds where the locals dont have a name for it.
