> [...] we protect our first-party products from abuse like [...] scraping [...]

what an odd thing to say for someone whose product is built entirely on exactly that


As a European I don't know a single country I have visited that doesn't have these kind of signs.

Looks like it was invented in France and spread later to other countries.

Yeah, I remember I’ve seen those signs in Luxembourg and Germany as well! We don’t have that in Italy though

> this is honestly going to get much worse

Just like with Brexit, the majority of UK's population voted (and will keep voting) for this.


You know why LLM text is full of emojis?

drumroll

Because people have been using a lot of emojis before LLMs in text already, and LLMs have been trained on those texts.

This whole "You have emojis in your text, it's LLM!"-trope got boring really fast. Amazing to see (and to think of the implications of) so many people apparently being in emoji-free social bubbles before this, though.


I don’t remember seeing technical documentation packed full of emojis until LLMs.


Guess you haven't been around much on GitHub before LLMs.


Yes, they have free plans.


I clicked on the link and was greeted by AI slop instantly. I checked the comments, saw this, am writing this and will probably not look at it ever again. Guess I am just not the target audience. I wish them that their AI slop strategy works out just for the sake of good vibes, though. If everyone does it it can't be bad, right? I'm the issue here, clearly.


> Germany outfitted half a million balconies with solar panels

A more fitting title would be "Germany's citizens outfitted half a million balconies with solar panels". The current phrasing makes it sound like it's somehow a thing done by the government, which is not the case. If anything the government is one of the many forces slowing down this progress. And yes, I am aware of things like grid security and stability being a concern. I am not complaining.


Given that these things are usually hindered by the government's bureaucracy, maybe the best title would be "Germany's government removes obstacles preventing residents from outfitting..."


Insisting that every improvement must be framed as something bad about government is how USA government became downright horrible.


That title reads like a good thing about the government, not a bad thing.


It's like you're saying "the outcome is good, but because it was achieved through deregulation, it is inherently bad".


Electricity is so expensive in Germany, that these things pay for themselves in a couple of years - you are theoretically right, but as things are, these make financial sense.


In my city, you could get financial support if you installed a "Balkonkraftwerk".


Unless it is related to weapons or the project that will ultimately benefit big corps, project will not work out using central government policy. With revolving doors and sophisticated lobbing, at this point government seems just like different side of the same coin as big corp.

Things can really only be DONE on the grass root local level.

Edit: actually even some of the weapons projects are not working out so well.


Nitpick: Not every house owner is a citizen though.


There's nits on your nits: most residents (citizen or otherwise) don't own their properties; and while these things do work with houses, they are intended for apartments.


Most of them are installed by tenants. Who also aren't all citizens, so you aren't wrong there. Maybe "Germany's resident's" would be more accurate, but of course some small percentage will be installed by landlords who actually reside abroad. You will never get that title to be 100% accurate


For this you do not need to own the property / house / flat, though.


Cool. The demo runs way too fast, though. The throttle checkbox doesn't really change it. Unchecking it, if anything, makes it run slower. It runs at 240 fps with throttle and at 180 fps without. With the throttle checbox active one second are already about four seconds in the emulator. I suspect this is related to the screen refresh rate, which is 240Hz in my case.


probably they are calling requestAnimationFrame() and then not accounting for deltaTime?


> The box was created with the wrong dimensions by the contractor, but they still decided to fill it

This sort of implies that it was cheaper to just go with he extra cash needed than to do a cube with the right dimensions?

But then again it's the Fed, so they probably just printed more money. (Which also costs money, though?)


why print it? the illustration of the size of the cube is still valid if unprinted (if it where correct) and it makes it worthless to steal

Okay, so the network does exactly what I would expect? If anything you could argue the network is bad because it doesn't recognize your prompt and gives you something else (original? whatever that would mean) instead. But maybe that's just me.
