In future it will clearly mark the era of (re)construction.

Which is fine to be honest, its nice to see clearly the type of person on the other side of the table, no need to dig through empty speech clutter for clues. But impressive it is not.

If you get into beef with your neighbor for something which is trivial over long time, now you are stuck with an asshole next door for next 30-50 years.

Its not just US, we moved in Switzerland from very cosmopolitan and international Geneva to small village in wineyards and all this applies at least as much.

If all this is clear and you go ahead, all the power to ya, fighting evil in this world is highly commendable.

This kind of shit or excuses could not be pulled if we would be talking about gulf of mexico for example.

US is not center of the world and rest of the world means >95% of mankind, rest of the world is pretty fed up with that unfair treatment and things are changing. Very slowly, but steadily.

Whatsapp, google maps, calls, sms. No browser, no store, no bullshit. Kids dont need more, if parents dont want to ruin (part of) their childhood. No need for restrictive apple ecosystem neither.

If Ukraine's defense didnt shoot down >90% of them depending on the type it would be a total carnage, day after day.

Of couse its largely useless wave of terror, very similar to V1/V2 terror attacks nazi germany did on London, with similar results - increasing resolve. But infrastructure is hammered, during winter it can be brutal, and country cannot go on like that forever.

I can afford it trivially, but its like paying say 20 bucks for a standard bread or bottle of milk. Insulting

All these music behemoths are way too powerful and they twist entire society globally to dance as they want. Not a fraction of a worry for pirates of course, just for decent paying fools.

Abhorable business.

Color me extremely sceptical.

Oh wait this is apple, they always know whats best for the user and do the choices for them, even when wrong. So all is as expected

Its like drug that will give you few years of great high, and ruin rest of your life afterwards. Use it by all means, I don't care about your output, nobody here does, you do you.

I do care about my long term skills, which aren't about piping some llm outputs. My employer ain't dumb fuck who is pushing for llms at all costs as much as possible. Anyway, most of my day work are processes, discussions, pushing things through - llms can't do a shit here, its personal conversations, connections, often psychical contact to get things done on time. Startup world would be different but I am as far from that unstable environment as I am from say gaming industry, just not worth my time outside SV area.

So I just use llms to verify my coding results, they are fine for that, but I do the creativity. Its by far the best part of my software dev work, why the heck would I be automating that away? Its like automating sex away so you can have more time... reading HN or some other way to just waste time, dumb approach from all angles.

Of course this changes if one is working on personal projects, self-employed, small startup etc but most folks here are not in that category.

This is spending that makes me proud to be a human and gives me hope for mankind, in similar vein as ie JWST telescope.

Also, where I live its against the law to record people without their consent so if I would be feeling very nice I would just hold you against the ground till cops come.

You wear them = you film with them. Get your shit together kids, this ain't some harmless fun.

These days its more about 15 reps, still 3 sets (plus one just 20kg barbel warmup). When I feel like I could do more, i add 3 or 5 reps, and/or do things slower, especially the lowering part. Weight wise its cca 60kg deadlifts, 50kg squats. I feel like I could do more, but with worse form and thats not a good idea.

There are similar numbers for bench presses, dumbbell curls and few other exercises I sometimes add to mix.

I was never bodybuilder and never looked accordingly but I didn't care, any strong-enough body is attractive to females, good confidence is present and connection to one's body is very good. It was always just training for actual stuff - long hikes, climbing, ski touring etc. Now with kids and after quite brutal paragliding accident that left me wheelchair-bound for few weeks, walked after 6 months and have some permanent changes in calcaneus, I am happy with anything and above is good enough for me, just need to sustain it.

I am often pirating myself due to convenience and access to broader content or in case of games no bootloader crap on my PC, but see this as an issue of license owners rather than providers (in this case studio canal).

Palestine is so divisive it should have its own 'law' - both sides are abhorable, both sides are shielded by fanatics who don't want to hear any criticism of their side, despite there being plenty of official evidence with photos, videos, wiki articles and so on.

Lowered the load, increased repetitions and basically nothing for a decade. I can still go almost to the failure, I don't even want to reach it since I don't care about that extra bit. Squats or deadlifts are hard even when not at limits, one feels used body parts for a day or two.

I still add cardio on top of that, its just basic logic of moving around a lot is very good for the body, even if effects are not immediately obvious.
