First, the criticism of Electron is moot. Yes it's not sleek, but it's sufficient. This app is not supposed to be used heavily on a daily basis. Run it once to setup your drive, run it a few months later for a firmware upgrade or a quick health check and that's all. And when you had a taste of the absolute UX monsters some hardware vendors can produce on the software side, really an Electron app feels nice.

But it gets more ridiculous. Embedded fonts? God forbid companies enforce their own design guidelines in their software. Translations? Fuck non-English speakers. User guide with screenshots? The audacity.

And then if you're getting medicated, another whole world of fun begins (restricted prescriptions, shortages, etc)

  The drag on the next one
  Is something I can look forward to
  Something to slow the synapse
  Something to do with my hands

I.e. we're all threatened by the climate catastrophe and if we're not able to fix the planet we're the most fit to inhabit, the rest is just absolute lunacy.

- Prosecuting white-collar crime still takes ages and takes over a decade, long after the resulting sentences have a real impact

- People like Nicolas Sarkozy have powerful media relays (most of the TV/newspaper owners in France are friends of him or at least sympathetic) and they can smear the judgment, smear the judges in the media with impunity

- His allies are currently in power, he was invited for a short discussion by president Macron and got a visit in prison from the minister of justice Darmanin, which reeks of favoritism

So the road ahead is still long, and I'm not even talking about current political climate which is horrendous.

Which makes sense, considering the absolutely massive amount of tutorials and basic HOWTOs that were present in the training data, as they are the easiest kind of programming content to produce.

Now if the problem they want to solve is the case of low amount payments (they claim "no high minimum") then a percentage fee is not an issue, but a per-transaction fee can be absolutely massive. Also depending on the blockchain, you're exposed to fee volatility, which might be another issue.

Am I missing something here?

What's funny is tha LLMs got trained on datasets that includes all that incorrect, outdated or hostile content.

Doping has been a cat-and-mouse game for decades, it's not unrealistic to think this is still happening.

The fact that Pogacar this year managed to reach Bjarne "Mr. 60%" Riis levels of performance in the mountain makes you wonder if this is only standard athletic and performance science or if they're something else.
