Oh that's right I almost forgot that this film exists - his astounding pronunciation and boogie woogie tailors are two highlights of this strange stage play adaptation. I have to .. no .. i must watch it again.

Isn't this something straight out of Sillicon Valley show ? Life imitating art I suppose ...

Yes, for me it also got far slower than I remember any previous version ever being.

And this is not only thinking for me. I think that today was first time I cought up to generated tokens while reading after I left opened tab for quite a long time to finish infetence.

I'm starting to consider switching to Gemini.

That's a great idea. I would love to be able to do that. If only I was not forced to live in the most expensive part of my country where one square meter costs more than half year salary of average person. At least from accounting point of view I'm a millionair, just without any ability to get my own space (because needs of family always come first). Life is strange.

Let me guess - they vibe coded this anouncement page also?

I cannot be sure but there are clues ... (The fact that this page crashes after ten seconds on mobile chrome being the first one :))

>> Action A+B is illegal, and A by itself and B by itself are legal. A company did A+B, but the individual employees only did A, or only did B, and neither knew about the other.

That's a really interesting idea. Can you give some real live example of such situation that really happened?

What was the Larry Ellison attributed quote about programmers ? Google shows me sth along the "the computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than fashion industry".

It rings quite true - new tools comes and gets the market because they are the new hot shot in town (like eclipse and then intellij once was). Its only matter of time before VSCode will go the same way.

As for eclipse I personally blame lack of funding and interest from new open source devs after it lost its status.

I still use it daily but with each new Eclipse release and my code base growth it really slows down to a halt sometimes and it becomes more and more frustrating. Maybe its time to switch to something that is kept alive by more than few old guys.

>>they aren't the manufacturer's customer in the market for new cars

Wow somehow this simple observation seems to be the greatest critic of capitalism I have heard in long time. It succintly shows why this system if left alone and scaled will destroy everything with its externalities.

And for something between Ticket to ride and 18XX games you can try Age of steam - this is a lot better for when you really feel the need to build some railroads and just move stuff and not to have to learn how stock exchange works.

>> Well, it turns out what they said was true for them, but is not true for people like me, who can't visualize to save their life.

I used to be exactly like this - I could not visualize anything. Which was very perplexing for young me - I was astonishingly good at math (winning some country level math competitions even) but could not get past some arbitrary but somehow low level geometry problems. Then it struck me - I could not see the solutions in my head, only on paper, which drastically limited my search space.

But latley after years od doing other thing (including more artsy stuff like drawing) I discovered that I was wrong - its it possible to learn, its just that some people gets this faster and with little effort. For me it was just a other few thousend hours of doing staff that accidentally expanded my visualization ability and then "miracle" happend.

The same was with my supposed tone deafness - guess what, I only believed my self info being tone deaf (real tone deafness is very bery rare). I just was lazy in this departament (in building my ability to perceive tones).

I actually did not ask when you should use this but I guess this could just be normal engine off switch that is always used when on ground (just you should never touch it mid air) or maybe something also usefull when when you have some fire-like situation going on. The whole not use when flying as far as I remember was because it can be really hard to get the engine to work again. And the look of the switch conveyed this message really well.

Not OP but guessing that this is about metaphorical self-destruct button (that has other important functions beside killing everyone).

Have you every been in airplane cockpit? There always is a switch that cuts enginees off and from what my pilot friend tells me using it in mid flight is more or less equal to killing everyone. And yes, as far as I remember it is big and red and have a lot of "do not touch" vibe around it.

Thanks, it looks more like fantasy than fiction - I always liked that Count is embeded is real historic events despite me being fantasy fan and almost never reading historic fiction. But somehow in Counts case it seems essential (and that's way anime adaptation was my least favorite).

Anyway I will check it out.

Thanks - I will check it out.

The trailer looks a bit generic and definitely has a bit different vibe than Im used to (me not knowing French does not help at all :) ). Also the Count after transformation seems to have a different style - feels not as distinguished as old school actors in previous movies. But maybe it will be exactly what this story needs.
