Driving what?

Frankly, I see Canadians and USans the same, despite being neither from the US, nor from Canada.

It looks like a car from some old DOS game.

I'm pretty fascinated how (expectedly) good LLMs are at reading machine code:
I've asked Claude to use ghidra to reverse engineer some proprietary tool and write an opensource tool to manage some device. And the resulting tool works!
I've oversimplified, but it was 3 hours instead of a week of work.

People should be fighting coal, gas and oil, not nuclear. After coal, gas and oil are finished -- then people may start fighting nuclear.

> OK, and what does that have to do with the evolution and decarbonization of worldwide electrical grids?

I was answering to:

> The stable/steady baseload power source paradigm is outdated in obsolete.

I'm saying, that it seems not really obsolete, yet.

Being in files does not mean much. Even Sabine Hossenfelder is mentioned in the files. The important part is: what is alleged and what is the trustworthiness of a specific claim (e.g. a statement under oath is more trustworthy than an anonymous tip).

OK, but right now Ireland have to look for an electricity connection with France (guess why) to stabilize the electricity (and do something about the prices).

It seems like a pattern already:
* Obama inherited 2008 from Bush.
* Biden inherited 2020 from Trump (although COVID is not Trump's fault; but the management of COVID was pretty disastrous).
* Now whoever will inherit the economy from Trump will be in a very tough spot.

May we have a comparison with Codex-5.3?

Batteries (+ infrastructure) also cost money.

AFAIU, a lot of stuff is defined by a pretty boring geography. In some places nuclear power is the best option as the stable/steady power source. In some places there are better opportunities, e.g. geothermal, batteries and so on.

Comparing nuclear power with wind power is a bit wrong. Wind power is unstable (since requires wind), but cheap. Nuclear power is stable, but more expensive. These are different niches.

I'm surprised somebody had to research this, to draw an obvious conclusion:

BTW, I challenge anybody to find where I, for example, deny the genocide or trying to say that Israel is doing a good thing with Gaza or anything like that.

/2 In the keeping people in prison you again make an argument "she is bad" and not that she degrades checks and balances, centralizes power, degrades the rule of law. Keeping people in prison is arguably the opposite: keeping the rule of law (despite how stupid the law is in the specific instance).

[1/2] Haven't she disavowed the "keeping people in prison" made by people from her office and then worked for the opposite: to release thousands of people?

As for Mnuchin, haven't Harris herself tried to fix the legislative gap that made Mnuchin's prosecution unfeasible? Also they were not friendly

Your points about her (even IF they are true) are what you dislike about her, but not about authoritarianism.

As for Biden: who of his opposition have he labeled terrorist?

[1/2] Wiki says:

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.

How? I don't know how in the US, but in general your goods won't be allowed to pass through the port of entry, if you don't pay the tax.

Being authoritarian in a liberal democracy generally means to get rid of the checks and balances. I've asked you for the strongest example why is she authoritarian, and what you responded with is stuff like "Locking up people for cannabis". Have you ever tried to critically analyze your position?

You mean that you believe for a novice programmer it is more intuitive what machine code will be produced from the Rust code?

> SHE is authoritarian, too.

What's the strongest example to corroborate that?

The reality as Marco Rubio launches a massive effort, funded with US taxpayer dollars, to persuade Europeans that they made a big mistake rejecting fascism after WWII.

Damn, you gave me hope I can get rid of my citizenship so easily. But that was a naturalized Russian citizen, so does not apply here.

Just today I've spotted a vulnerability in measured boot process by just looking at the logs. But I was curious if an LLM can spot it: no, it cannot, unfortunately. Too deep/non-public knowledge for it. They just reproduce publicly available, and on a pretty low level, yet.

The issues in my area is not writing code, but figure out what needs to be done at all and how. It is technical investigations (with zero code) with deep focus on infra and hardware, talking to people, designing and stuff. Writing code is the very easiest part of the job.

Budget deficit maybe rising, but the national reserves also still only increased since the full-scale war was launched. Are there any numbers to claim the "death zone".

As for GDP growth: it was even negative in 2023. Nothing happened.

As a person, working in infra security, I frankly, see the use from this coding agent mostly for my hobby projects, but not for work, yet.

At work, they do pretty good code completion, and explanation of somebody else's code, but yet 98% of the work is still made by a human.
