  1. I've never had a prompt rejected by Claude. What kind of prompts are you sending where "9 out of 10" get rejected?
  2. Are you trying to argue that elections aren't free and fair in EU countries? Or are we splitting hairs?
  3. You've voted for the people who elect the European Commission, though I'm sure you know that, just conveniently decided to leave it out, you're a known troll on Reddit too.
  4. You don't seem to understand what "dictatorship" actually means.
  5. Brexit worked out so well that it basically quelled any dreams of other EU countries exiting after seeing it just creates a lot of headaches and almost no benefit to then just go back to having trade agreements with the EU while not being part of it.
  6. > 6GHz barely makes it through a concrete wall, so you're only receiving your own AP, so you have the whole bandwith mostly to yourself.

    I agree with this and the fact that 6GHz should still be available for wifi, but this whole bandwidth frenzy over wifi has always seemed like a meme for anyone except power users. A 4K netflix stream caps out around 15mbps, so >95% of typical home users will be just fine using 2.4/5GHz inside their own homes.

  7. Apple makes over $10B from App Store commissions in the US alone, why would they reduce their profits unless forced to do so?
  8. > Self-hosted video isn't that hard

    Self-hosting video is not something the typical user of a baby monitor would ever even consider.

  9. "Human-like decision maker" except it's just as if not more unpredictable than a human, has no understanding of what it's actually outputting or the impact of it, and it isn't concerned with losing their job or facing legal repercussions for their actions.
  10. Isn't this the goal of most laws?
  11. Netflix streams in AV1 to devices that support it.
  12. Google Apps and cloud status page down in Romania.
  13. They're addicted to the content, not the apps themselves. If they no longer had access to Instagram tomorrow, and had to use another app which offered the same content, most users would switch without looking back.
  14. It also has to do with how the companies handle the offshoring, as some larger corporations take the approach of just using an outsourcing company from a specific country (usually chosen by price) and assume that you can just pay a specific amount of money per developer and they will all be the same quality as the guys coming into the office.

    I've worked most of my career as a remote employee and I can say that the best arrangement is when the company is as involved in hiring offshore employees as they are with hiring onshore ones. Someone working through an intermediary will always be disconnected from the company's success, as they work for an outsourcing company, and not the US corporation itself.

    There are definitely a lot of discussions to be had around employee cultural fit, and I don't just mean company culture. You want a similar mindset and work ethic that your other employees have if you want a high chance of success.

    We also need to talk about how some companies haven't been able to successfully adapt their processes to work with remote employees alongside the office employees and sometimes treat the offshore ones as second class citizens, which is not really a great thing.

  15. I suspect that in the US nuclear is being pursued by the tech industry due to the current administration, if Biden were still in the White House, the tech industry would be pushing for offshore wind and solar panels.

    Nuclear is expensive and requires red tape and a long time to bring online, but the real benefit is that it can deliver power consistently all day, unlike wind and solar. I think the ideal future includes all of these plus better storage capabilities.

  16. Not really, there's 43 brand new Clios available for pickup in Romania right now, starts at €17100, with the full hybrid €21000 before incentives.

    14 Skoda Fabias in stock starting at €17625; €20500 if you want a few options and an automatic gearbox.

  17. Food regulations doesn't mean people have a healthy diet. A lot of the Eastern Europe countries have higher obesity rates: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
  18. The goal was to stop their progress, not reduce/increase incentives.
  19. There's still television and radio.
