This is something you should explain to the Firefox critics.

Too many prompts and not an official API. Back in the day, IE also had tons of "great" and novel ideas, including COM+ something something.

True. But there are other meanings of "free". I.e. nobody can say "from now on you no longer have access to model X because you're an asshole"

it's a hint that you should start learning the new Lingua Franca.

If you spend your life sitting in a chair, that's fine. I tend to get all kinds of ideas, questions, and research needs while I'm walking around. Typing a paragraph or two or context takes too much time and is very risky. Especially when driving. But also just walking, cooking, cleaning, etc. Sometimes it's just not practical - winter, carrying stuff... I mostly feel privileged if I can just sit at a computer and type my question and have the time to read the answer.

That makes no sense to me. I've had an EV for five years and right now the infrastructure is fantastic in comparison. There are chargers everywhere, they're fast enough, and the prices are reasonable. The batteries are also quite large. I see absolutely no reason to buy an IC car any more. Many people have solar panels installed, making the commute practically free.

Mate, I was buying a kebab and the guy was convincing me that the Earth is flat, there's no Moon. And it's proven by... something with shadows. At least I got a real kebab in the end.

"This is our world" sounds a bit exclusive towards other living and sentient beings on this planet.

> they don't need you but you still need them.

I can see very few reasons why AI couldn't replace their expertise for all of us non-experts, the same way it did for software development.

How is it a "mysterious" model? It's Tencent's Hy3?

That depends on the perspective. If you're on the Sun, the wheels rotate around you.

Home is not the same thing as a house. Owning an apartment is way better than renting.

Everything you've written can be turned around, swapping companies and authorities. Those working in a public administration are serving the public while those working in a private company are serving themselves (and the shareholders).

What is wrong with using LLMs to analyze and explain code? Am I missing something? Before writing code, this is an even easier task to accomplish using AI.

New comment by cicko in "Poland is now among the 20 largest economies"

cicko — Fri, 08 May 2026 21:00:55 +0000

In the early 2000's I've read about the "next wave", after BRICS, where Poland and Turkey were leading the pack. It was mainly due to the population tree. Both countries did relatively well, as expected. Turkey a bit worse, probably due to politics, changing geostrategic pivots, and strained relations with the big EU market.
