Sounds like a failed state in that regard.

It will be approved it seems, but there will be a condition that you cannot speed more than 10% of above the limit. Which still for me is hard to understand why you then don’t just raise the limit if you think that going 10% above the law is fine?

A car should not have a “break the law” mode.

If speed limits are impractical they have to be fixed.

Tens of thousands dead in traffic due to the “common practice” of driving unsafely. We have the opportunity here to make the roads safe but apparently mr musk doesn’t see the need.

I hope the Nordics prevail and the Europeans don’t follow his bullshit.

Ah, the “unusually unlucky” cables serving Taiwan and in the Baltics.

Like statistically impossibly unlucky.

I think leaving to the US is more a function of business climate than of the investors

I don’t know what the point is that you’re hinting at?

I read it as confirmation that there is apparently no shortage of investor money in Europe, since US investors are willing and able to invest here.

All of which is more expensive, per resident, in the countryside.

Sorry, you’re right it’s bad behaviour and I’ll stop it.

But I’m not really pushing an agenda here. I use Claude a ton myself.

I think that bigger context windows help, but I feel that for AI to cross this chasm, it needs to be able to encode more abstract context knowledge. I think the holy grail here is online learning.

I think my point is that its sometimes (!) easier to use the manual chisel rather than go for the automatic chisel and then fix its mistakes.

It's the uncanny valley of AI. It's still not quite good enough yet that you can trust it blindly on a big codebase, so you still have to read and understand everything - which is often harder than just writing it up yourself.

EDIT: don’t get me wrong. I still think AI is incredibly useful for a lot of tasks! But when implementing an architecturally hairy thing, I find it less stressful and equally quick to jump down to the editor level and use AI just for code completion.
