I know! Maybe this paranoa would be justified, if they would already killed millions and destroyed countries!

> Netflix launched an open competition ... in-house recommendation system by 10%.

It worked great for them. Current masterpiece from Netflix has 13 Oscar nominations! Every AI company should learn and apply this lesson!

》 So there's a very real chance at this deal offering something closer to ~1 month of pay before it suddenly gets dropped due to budget negotiations.

I do not see your arguments

US has worker protections, even if US government goes bancrupt, it has to pay its obligations. And if government refuses to pay, no worker, even if employed, is getting anything!

It is direct substitute! You can absolutely carry family of 5 and furniture on bike! See Denmark and India!

That is pretty cheap for NYC lawyer.

Honestly no idea, I followed this rabbit hole many years ago.

Hindustan times seems like a rag, like British Sun.

I guess I would recommend to take some event that happened 2 years ago, find how some papers wrote about it back then, and if you like it, follow them.

My point is there is no reason to stay in toxic relationship. There is no reason to read news if you do not get any rewards. Even monthly AI summaries will be better, and you will stay "informed".

For example all the Trump shit today, he wants legal precedents from constitutional court, 90% of this shit is irrelevant.

> Most European EV sales that aren't Tesla are European brands like

Bikes are still "vehicles". Problem is that stuff like Tesla are luxuries, we simply can not afford that! Bikes are an alternative on the same market.

An alternative that is heavily advertised by our governments! If there is a significant difference between car and bike, you should tell our government!

Not everyone has resources to treat their car as an IPhone!

It just shows how uninformed you are! BYD Seal is 2000kg car, we do not want that! Europeans want EVs that are maybe 600kg to do shopping and drive around town. 80kms on single charge and 50kmph are quite acceptable parameters.

If I can remove car battery, put it on a cart, and take it to my apartment on 10th floor via elevator, even better! I need to charge it over night!

If I could spare $50k on new car, I would buy ICE before they are banned!

How about you read actual news, not already half-digested propaganda vomit? You do not have to live in polluted wasteland of western media propaganda! Big media failed 1000x since war on terror, and Bush lies, yet you still consume their shit!

Simplest way is to read media from independent country. India is good, perhaps Arabic countries.

Next level are independent channels on Telegram and Youtube. 10 min daily summary on war situation goes very long way.

Chinese have far better and cheaper EV cars. Getting spare parts for Tesla in Europe is a nightmare!

F-Droid does not exist in vacuum, their actions send message!

No, it is pretty much dialog, I would compare it to pair programming.

AI in many levels is more capable than human programmer, in some it is not. It is not supersmart. It can not hold entire program in its head, you have to feed it small relevant section of program.

》 That’s why we use documents—they let us organize complexity, reference specific points, and track changes systematically.

Extra steps. Something like waterfall...
