So we should strive to maximize companies profits over the citizens?

Just use the well know script to activate it and send a donation to MS or something. The margin of profit from individual keys is nothing.

(Can I post the link, to the open source repo? Is it against the rules? I mean MS owns github and has no problem hosting it)

Seems the poster is the one fooled by the AI more than anything, because most likely the bulk of the replies are bots, so you got AI to criticize AI.

This seems like a tiny percent of userbase if not personal issue. This can happen to any software for a specific config. Disabling hardware acceleration would most likely fix your issue but this is not a true solution. Also try forcing alternative encodings in youtube. Sadly if the issue is not widespread a fix from any company is not a priority.

json.loads is something you don't want to use in a loop if you care for performance at all. Just simple using orjson can give you 3x speed without the need to change anything.

The power struggle of global corps and old world Countries are a fine spectacle for us, who have lost our placement in the food chain to the man-made giants.

And another one! How long will it last? All bets on the table.

Optimizing is not only for better performance

Developing using the optimize latter approach can lead to worse experience especially when you can save building/compiling time for a project with basic optimization.

I found out that I could cut the startup time (importing/ model loading time) in a project in half, after I started optimizing. (Running a profiler and finding out what takes time and cutting unused imports/stuff from used libraries and doing the work in parallel for time consuming stuff).

This lead to faster bug fixing and testing because less time was spend at startup. So I was able to add features and test them with multiple restarts in half the time without loosing focus on the waiting time, making development way more smooth.

In conclusion, yeah leave out optimization at start, but as soon you have something working, make sure you are not wasting time while developing.

> No wonder people claim typing speed doesn't matter - they can barely think ahead one token, nevermind a statement or function, much less the whole design! Ideally your typing speed should become the bottleneck and you should be able to code "blind", without looking at the screen but merely outputting the code in your mind into the machine as fast as humanly possible. Instead we have barely-"developers" constantly chasing that next tiny dopamine hit of picking from an autocomplete menu. WTF!?

If writing code is an automated process for you, you are also begging for AI to be replace you. Just a more advanced one than the code-monkey in the OP.

The pandemic showed that govs can push what they want with minimal resistance and having the public on each other throats. People are also fatigued and isolated more than ever, perfect time to seize total control.

I refreshed the page, enabled js, refreshed again and again and finally I gave up thinking it is not loading because it was hugged to death. While reading the comments here it dawned on me that it was just a black background because it is night outside and the paged worked fine from the start...

It is a Greek word, used for Saints Icons painting, Agio (Saint) + Graphi (Writing down).

Painting in Greek is zographia, Zoi ( life/living) + Graphi. The use case in the Article and English is mostly from "intellectuals" who like to use cool words without even knowing their meaning.

I agree, I am not saying that it is not nurture, in fact the opposite. Hyper focused on "human way of thinking" is not something you are born with, you adapt to it. In fact if you don't do it early you will never be able to 100%, in a way we rewire our brain to cope with how we want it to operate to be able fit in.

Our language for example, requires to be "forced on us" from early stages or you will never be able to "get it" [1]

> Most humans simply ignore animals when they communicate. Both because they're ignorant and because they won't bother to listen. You can't expect an animal to talk with human words, but they talk all the time. Pets actively have conversations with us.

With my dog I can understand angry/playful/sad/afraid/(give me food) barking/sounds and especially body language. But hearing "dog words" in random barking? Impossible.

While Humans can be seen as the most intelligent, we are hyper focused on "human way of thinking" in a way that we lose our "basic" instincts and abilities that other animal have.

My dog can understand my voice tone and emotions way better than I can understand hers, also animals can understand the difference sounds we make (words) that affect them, way better than our understanding of animals sounds.

Don't get me wrong we can make tools and we can experiment and be able to suppress all other animals. But a solo, "naked" human is like an office worker in world of manual labor.

Actually I had set a policy to block automatic updates. Sometimes they break things, and having a profile backup before updating to roll back in case of breakage is a must. So it is a win win for me.
