Renault with the revival of the V / 5 and now this, French car brands have been producing THE best designs of all electric cars, in my opinion

I agree, but for a long time it was the only way to discover new niche subs

I've been blocking subs in RES for years now, it's over 7000 last I checked and most I see on /r/all now is cat content. It's GLORIOUS

I find this a weird, kind of elitist, response to what George Hotz wrote from his own perspective. Since the response argues using a grand generalisation I'll use one too: no in fact we absolutely do _not_ call lobbying and lobbyists "corruption" in europe, making such a statement could not be further from the truth and borders on being delusional. If anything this says a lot about how much the post author knows about european politics.

Here is a web page from the European Parliament using the same terms; https://www.europarl.europa.eu/at-your-service/en/transparen... including a whole paragraph on why lobby groups are important for europe. "This is a legitimate and necessary part of the decision-making process to make sure that EU policies reflect people’s real needs."

But let's be real the blog post author only wrote this to dunk on americans. It's just embarrassing they did it from such a clearly ignorant perspective.

Nothing says “mature ecosystem” like migrating to a different runtime every few years.

Thanks for the extremely weird rabbit hole to go down during lunch. Lot's of weird stuff going on in that twitter thread, I chose to believe most of those replies are not from humans.

It is :) Mostly because it's easy to interface with!

Neat! I've been slopping together various games to have AI play them, balatro, poker, blackjack, it's just so fun. Was just thinking about chess, wondering if, if I gave them an unrestricted sandbox, they'd start using existing solvers or not. They're surprisingly good at doing cardcounting, by the way.

It's so sad that Meta of all companies is leading this space.

Is your llm force pushing to main? If so, why are you allowing that?

No LLM will destroy any code base in any time frame without permission from an human operator. That person is responsible for allowing the code base being destroyed.

Wow what an opener comment thread. One thing is for sure, this is a very contentious topic lol. I have had this opinion since way before this ai boom; someone who pushes code to prod is responsible for what happens in prod with that code. This blogpost is very relatable

Makes you wonder if it really was "noobs" and "slop kiddies" that found it.
