I think Stackoverflow was the last incarnation of romanticized old-school Q&A forums where you first had to earn your badges before being treated with respect. Luckily today's new projects have much better documentation, issue tracker's etc. And apparently AI is able to work with that by now...

Grok is specifically trained on political input/output. Therefore I have trouble parsing your comment.

> Where have the hardcore nerds gone? How is the model, is it good at coding? What does this mean for competition and pricing?

When was the last time you've seen tank database systems discussed here? Probably never because there seems to be some sort of unwritten moral boundary of what fits in here and what not. I hope it finds its natural alignment back.

Personally I think it's fine to point out the peculiarities of certain tech ecosystem. But at some point I rather don't read more details and move on to other aggregators.

I work since over 15 years as SWE and have been job hopping most of the time. Only during one job hunt I put a (professional) photo on my CV. While a photo on the CV is obviously not illegal, employers aren't allowed to demand it since 2 decades. But I agree there is a bias.

While I'm fully German so to say, I have a foreign last name literally from centuries ago. For most of the time this was never an issue, at best a conversation starter. But companies where the daily language is German (hint: these companies usually suck) I definitely had weird situations before. Also with some recruiters, especially from the UK.

FWIW the topic is quite a rabbit hole and for non-mobile metal cases (e.g. screwed on the wall) technically even an electrician seems to be needed.

That. It's possible to go even simpler if no limited liability is needed.

Just Gewerbeanmeldung costs maybe 30€ and takes less than a month normally. Large cities even have online forms for this.

Also the reporting duties are much simplified. ChatGPT and some accounting software are very helpful. Although a tax consultant and probably a liability insurance are recommended to avoid bad surprises.

The other was for a DevEx crypto service. While I was very suspicious the code looked okay but the recruiter was strange and changed their profile to a different person eventually. I think this was a crypto stealing scam though since it required connecting to a wallet. I don't have any crypto though, so I might be okay for now. Although reinstalling my system clean would be the only sure way in theory...

Autonomous weapons have hardly been deployed yet, maybe at the Inner Korean border or some lunatic's backyard. Therefore I don't think there is any legislation for it yet. But it seems a very cruel way of killing, also considering in this particular case they didn't even send footage back. What kind of experiment was this? Maybe they didn't like to see the brutality, perhaps people begging for mercy not to be killed, giving up and showing a white flag. Indeed this isn't possible with carpet-bombing.

Looking further into the issue disk space is a huge problem with Kodi discussed plenty of times. In fact even the Wiki dedicates 2 pages to it:

https://kodi.wiki/view/Archive:Reduce_disk_space_usage

https://kodi.wiki/view/Texture_Cache_Maintenance_utility

I realize from your perspective this may seem still a very convincing example in the sense of it works.

A non-programmatic solution might have been possible though:

> It's likely your thumbnail cache. That's typically the biggest piece stored locally (you also have the database). You can clear the cache (short term fix) or move it to another drive (long term fix).

> Also recommend not downloading actor thumbnails. Lot of extra images.

I mean just googled https://www.google.com/search?q=kodi+crash+chromecast+4k I'm getting really a lot of issues such as https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=381239

It seems to be a quite common problem. Are you sure it was the rube goldberg fix and not a more mundane solution? Such as pulling in someone's fork from GitHub or just clearing the cache on a loop?

On the other hand Microsoft is very much leading with OpenAI in vacuuming any content, stripping effectively copyright claims.

That being said, nowadays the only use case for me to use Pirate Bay is when I cannot get a movie elsewhere. I'd pay for it but it's not possible - because of copyright...

I might self-host something at some point. But even choosing something seems a menial task, not to speak of setting it actually up...
