Even though I voted yes I completely understand the reluctance to join. EU has shown gross incompetence in many questions and with chat control they are downright terrifying.

My own yes was because I would have liked to see the strategy and what EU could have on the table. Even if timeconsuming and costly.

And it would have been worth it just to scare the living daylights out of the few mafia families in Iceland that currently hold the fishing quota and treat it as their private playthings.

But I respect the choice of my countrymen and (hope) perhaps in another decade when we are hypothetically rid of Ursula Leyden and possibly Swedens and Denmarks terrifying need to peak into everones private lives, Iceland can look at negotiations again.

The best teams are the ones where “stupid” questions are always alowed.

The worst ones are the teams where members treat everyone as stupid

The absolute best will generate a creative discussion around a “stupid” question.

The absolute worst will deliberately mislead collegues to make them look stupid.

Eh. This is pointless.

There will always be at least one country that has not rules and everyone will vpn there.

Danish minister was about to solve that nut airing ideas of banning vpn ( was of course dropped, most politicians have zero technical skills, not even rudimentary ones).

Of course this is all to protect the children.

I am unscientifically convinced that the average 12 year old is more technically apt that the entire adult governmental body of north europe.

If the will is there, they will circumevent it and the only outcome was another pointless level of buerocracy that is impossible to enforce.

target the algorithm instead. Its a more difficult area and harder to design that law and it would require understanding technology, the end result would be targeting the platforms, not the users. Possibly with hundreds of millions in fines and less predatory platform behaviour.

This low quality , protect the children yelp regulation set will have no long term effect whatsoever.

It is far to easy to circumvent.

I have experienced both.

I d argue its not the manager that motivates people that can only be found inbooks. Its the manager that can come in and mend a toxic and dysfunctional team.

The toxic teams end up breaking good managers in the end and they either become part of the problem or leave.

The hero manager described in the phoenix project is a myth.

The motivational one imho is very real but they need a good platform just like everyone else.

I suggest reading the few south american comments in this thread hidden by the usual whatever Trump does vitriol fro EU/US commenters.

r/venezuela is one placce to start. Very different tone there than the ill informed commenters here ( and I say that with detest for “that other site”)

Hopefully the Venezuelan people will have a fighting change to restore their country now.

Time will tell I suppose.

This is great. Sonnet 4.5 has degraded terribly.

I can get some useful stuff from a clean context in the web ui but the cli is just useless.

Opus is far superiour.

Today sonnet 4.5 suggested to verify remote state file presence by creating an empty one locally and copy it to the remote backend. Da fuq? University level programmer my a$$.

And it seems like it has degraded this last month.

I keep getting braindead suggestions and code that looks like it came from a random word generator.

I swear it was not that awful a couple of months ago.

Opus cap has been an issue, happy to change and I really hope the nerf rumours are just that. Undounded rumours and the defradation has a valid root cause

But honestly sonnet 4.5 has started to act like a smoking pile of sh**t

Have nothing to add that hasn’t already been commented. Like the entries in the add list stay. Other than that, my recommendation list keeps coming up with books I have already read and loved and I am hitting the limit :(.

So filtering would be great,

I have seen a few versions of the same books listed more than once.

Loved this. Hope you get to tune it a little.

Also, thank you for not ruining the site with a single popup, email subscription list offer, chatbot, wheelspin from hell anywhere.

Blessings from the popup hating part of the interwebs.

As a response to the AI negativity in the thread. Remember that this thing is in its infancy.

Current models are the embryos of what is to come.

Code quality of the current models is not replacing skilled software engineers, network or ops engineers.

Tomorrows models may well do that though.

Venting the frustrations of this is all very well but I sincerely hope those who wish to stay in the industry, learn to get ahead of AI and utilize and control it.

Set industry standards (now) and fight technically incompetent lawmakers before they steer us into disaster.

We have no idea what the effect of tomorrows LLMs is going to have, autonomous warfare is not that far away eg.

All while todays tech talent spends energy bickering on HN about the loss of being the code review King.

Everyone hated the code review royalty anyway. No one mourns them. Move on.

Hard disagree. Vibe code has its downsides but is not nearly as terrible as threatened coders on the forums make it seem.

right and so do libertans ,communists and socialists. Hanging on to false ideologies, no matter how disastrous, is not exclusive to right leaning its a human trait.
