Mostly it’s an issue of abundance in calories. Historically most people have worked such physical jobs in environments with limited food supply. In that environment it’s way harder to get obese, regardless of genetics or gut biome.

I believe that at current rate your entire company will become irrelevant in 4 years. Your customers will simply use Gemini to build their own software.

Better start applying!

If you already know another backend language and framework, all you need to do is tell LLM or some code generator to convert your models between languages. There is very little overhead that way.

I greatly prefer Java with Spring Boot for larger backend projects.

Yep, this country is no longer that special by European standards. Childcare is still good, but later education and healthcare are very mediocre.

In EU only greeks are less satisfied with the availability of healthcare. Our unemployment rate is pretty similar to Greece and Spain as well. This is what right wing governments want I guess.

Yeah, everything about this administration makes perfect sense if we assume that Trump is a Russian asset. Of course billionaires like Thiel and Musk have their say as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see America sell weapons to Russia, and provide them military support in the future when they launch their next invasion.

Apart from the form factor, my custom built machine with Unraid pretty much works like what you describe. Soon two years of use without major issues.

What you describe is the very reason I let my children watch moomins. Not everything needs to be bland and boring like today’s children’s shows. World is not like that.

Over here im Finland me and every other 90’s kids watched these shows, and mostly turned our fine. There’s so much nostalgia around it all.

Sustainable forestry is possible, and using wood harvested from such forests in buildings is very climate friendly. It’s one of the best ways to capture carbon for a long time. But of course it requires regulation by effective government, which USA no longer has.

Yep, people behind Trump are the ones we should pay attention to. They are the ones with long term plans.

Russia is the number one war criminal in the world. Of course now that Russia owns American leadership, we can partially blame them for American human rights abuses.

Yep, it’s an interesting social experiment. USA is becoming like Russia, with fake democracy and robber baron oligarchy that does whatever it wants. Many people are going to be OK with it, as long as they think it benefits them personally. But I’m not sure many in academia will be among those.

I bet China, India and EU will soon overtake America in sciences. Made in America may yet become the new made in Bangladesh.

Generic, overhyped AI company with no moat acquires a social media mainly inhabitated by bots.

Tesla used to be cool, SpaceX still is. But these two appear worthless to me.
