Uninstall windows and avoid electron and chromium-based apps.

It was just a matter of time, considering how many Mtok you could consume in just 300 prompts.

New comment by Flundstrom2 in "Why you should work for a top tier tech company"

Although I've never worked at a FAANG, but everything except the internal competition to be seen as "the guy" is actually true for any big, multinational company. The alignment, the big leverage of a mistake, the huge code bases that only "the guy who left half a year ago" knows about and the cultural differences (apart from the challenges to work with both Chinese, European and US timezones at once) is all the same.

That said, it gives lots of experience. As does working in startups as well as mature SMEs. Having done all three, I can't say either is better. They're different, but some are better at a certain point of life and not as good in other points of life.

That should be covered in your employment contract. But usually, you are obliged to transfer the rights to the employer.

Yeah. Ive started to use somewhat incorrect English, like skipping apostrophes, just so it is obvious it couldnt have been generated, since Ai models dont fail on such simple mistakes.

Unfortunately, parts of how AI produced texts are structured and formulated do match my natural voice, since it follows the classic patterns of writing. That sucks.

As a flight nerd, I'm pretty impressed with what's possible nowadays! Good job!

There's been so many things I didn't have on my 2026 bingo card I've lost count...

Can't we get back to some form of normality soon? I'm happy to take another pandemic instead of the current state of the world.

I do recognize the same thing.

It kind of takes its toll somehow; because the solution is "done" one it's fed to the AI, there's no time to recover by churning out boilerplate code or other patterns that sits in the spine.

It's more "full steam ahead, always".

Starliks have a smaller field of view because they operate at a much lower altitude, so they need to be in a much larger volume (10x) than those from Eutelsat.

For Canada and the Nordic countries, the weather on Greenland is business as usual, for all branches of the military.

My guess is as yours - the US military's focus on middle east and east Asia is of great disadvantage for them. Do they even get below -20 C for any longer periods at any base located on US mainland? Alaska, and some regions close to Canada, perhaps, leaving them with only some 10.000 personnel having anything near arctic experience, majority of which are based at the bases, not trained for front-action in artic climate.

For some real-life insides:

In the theoretical case of US actually invading Greenland (whatever that would mean, considering the largest city Nuuk is the size of a middle-sized town), the question isnt about potential casualties on Greenland.

The question is what would happen to the US staff land-locked on NATO bases within the EU. They will automatically become under siege, vastly outnumbered by European counterparts.

Since any attack on Greenland is an attack on the EU country the Kingdom of Denmark, and any attack on any EU countries automatically trigger EU Article 42.7, which mandates the full support from all members, to which all EU countries have committed, it would imply full-scale war.

Fact: European VAT (20-25% depending on country) is same for all companies; domestic, EU, US and Asians alike, added to end customers.

It's not EU's fault US manufacturers can't keep manufacturing costs down.

Neither is it EU's fault Trump believes slapping tariffs hurting US consumers will improve US standing in the world.
