Microsoft: your computer, my choice

How often does a solution need “new” code and not “basically the same code as a previous issue but with two small details changed”? This is a genuine question, I have only ever coded as a hobby. But 25% of your work being essentially just copy pasted sounds plausible, and that’s sorta all LLMs are doing, right?

Where do you draw the line? I don’t even live somewhere where it would be reasonable to expect a major disaster, yet I’ve got some water and non perishables set aside “just in case” alongside a crank powered radio and that sort of stuff. It wasn’t that big of an investment, but if there’s some mega blizzard or whatever I’ll be much better off.

The point isn’t that we’ll never get there. The point is we sure as shit aren’t there yet.

I can’t exactly say I love the fact that we nuked Japan, but the diameter of the Fat man was about a mile, and google tells me Peleliu is about 20 square miles in size. Would waiting, and glassing an entire island have been a better choice? Loss of native life would still be awful, but magnitudes less than the real bombings.

Private companies can be dicks. Public companies can and will be sued by their shareholders if they aren’t big enough dicks.

You can see a faint border - they’re just both gray, I assume for no data like Kaliningrad and Albania.

I’m not disagreeing, but can anyone really be surprised? IP theft is Chinese policy 101.
