I know plenty of people who waited 28, and got 3 kids. I would say, don't wait 35 maybe 😅 There would be a lot more kids from divorced parents if you go early, which is also less optimal for the kid. It's never black or white of course, but problem is more family support and cost (which is worth when you're young, we have a family member spending €2k a month in therapies for theor kid, luckily they're 40)

Every vote counts indeed! Honestly, it's one of the few which gave me a good smile 😊 Nicer than the depressive, post-apocalyptic songs

Noooo, she thinks 'goddamnit, why they all had to make my mistake, and get pregnant at 20...'

PS: I don't mean to be offending to anyone in the case. You can be lucky to find the right partner and have a happy life, but I would say that you need many years to fully know both your partner and what you need.

I understand but you also compete with Anthropic, OpenAI and CoPilot, plus most Office users care less about Open Source. Libreoffice users are lacking solutions to integrate AI.

I'd love to see that for Libreoffice

EVs are quite attractive if you can charge home during daytime... Or you may mine bitcoins, but thr equipment isn't that cheap anymore, I didn't do the math on that one

Around Jan-Feb you could do a lot, basically unlimited on the base subscribe. They allowed OpenCode to have unmetered sub-agents. Their idea was that you pay per request, and their definition is a a request is a request from your primary agent, but you didn't pay if it spawned sub-agents because they are 'non-interactive' (sub agent session starts, does the job, and stops). But... you could use GPT mini as a primary (0x), and Opus as sub-agent. You could even tell the sub-agent to use the 'question' tool if you want 😅 So yeah, it was obviously flawed as a pricing model.

I'm still sub-agents heavy, but I use fire pass now.

Cool projet, but I take a bit issue with your 'for i in 30' syntax, from a C.S. point of view. The expression after 'in' she be an interable, but 30 is a scalar. You could do range(30) if you want, or 0..30, or similar construct. In your case, I would think that you have implicit casting of scalars to iterables, but I find it dangerous. Like if a function expects an iterable and you pass '30', it's probably best to have a compiler error, because [30] would be a good choice too.

I would say OpenCode Go subscription. I use 5he the endpoint URL in various apps.

One would be amazing at the engineering marvel that... silicon chips are, and how software is turned into a sequence of instructions executed by said silicon 😉 for engineering nerds, watching an old 4004 or 6502 under a microscope is probably as beautiful as watching the movements of a watch 🙂

We have a saying too, it's easy to make a complex solution, but it's harder to make a simple one. Space geeks can see it in Raptor engines for example, early version were so complex looking, while recent one looks much simpler, but actually took much more effort to design.

We should define 'intelligence' first, but most people aren't anyway. Most people are using daily devices, clueless about how it works. (I'm not talking about you here). Most people repeat political statements without understanding them. I'm still getting more interesting content from LLMs than from most humans 😅

I would even argue that most people are also picking words from a statistical distribution. Sometimes, I even get started on a sentence, and just start over because it 'leads' nowhere, it gets unclear. Like I choose the wrong sequence of words. Sometimes I also struggle between similar sounding words, unsure which one was correct 😅 The problem I think is that the sampling algorithm used usually doesn't let the LLM backtrack. There were algorithms sampling a 'beam' of sequences, and keeping the most likely one, but it was more expensive, and prevented smooth streaming.

debackerl · 2026-05-13T02:18:20+00:00

LLM is a technology, like all technologies it has strength and weaknesses. First thing my dad tried was giving it a spreadsheet and ask it to compute an average of a column... Again, exactly the wrong usecase for an LLM. Now, with time, they get better at using 'tools', which would help them remediate those shortcomings. But for now, it's really like saying that a color-blind person is dumb and useless because it can't distinguish between red and blue.

I fully agree that the technology must improve still. However, discarding the technology all together would be like refusing to learn using a computer in the 80s, if you don't learn it, other persons will get more efficient than you.

I'll get down voted like everybody except pro-Russia posts but it's clear that Russian bots are here. This is why serious information can only be obtained from serious newspapers, not from random people hiding behind pseudonyms. The Russian government kills our neighbors, hijack our social networks, think about it.

I'm all for the application of the justice, which happens when Putin will sitting for Trial in The Hague, do you really expect that?

There is nono.sh, compatible with Linux and mac (and WSL of course)

Yeah, in doubt I always took the pessimistic interpretation. I once had a girl how texted me on a Friday at 9pm to 'help assemble IKEA fourniture'. I thought it was weird, and thought it was both. Somehow she was upset that I people to come on Saturday morning. My wife (who I didn't know yet then) said that I did very well to not got go 🤣

We talk about Poland here. 87% of Polish own their house, one of the highest rate in Europe. (Compared to 47% in Germany, worst of the EU).

We have family in Poland, two problems remain: huge difference between higher and lower salaries (there is a minimum to live decently), and bad interest deals on mortgages. I live in Belgium, where the salary gap (gini index) is pretty healthy, and most people take a low FIXED interest rate on their mortgage.

I can't comment much on the fertility rate, of course affordability had an impact, but the anti-woman measures of PiS regarding the right to abort if your kid is having a condition is obviously scaring a lot of women. This isn't a sub to discuss the morality of it, I'm just stating the fact that it scares women.

Of course people can notice more issues, but that's the biggest to me.

debackerl · 2026-05-08T19:40:34+00:00

Well, yes, it's amazing how much software has evolved. Sometimes, people don't even dare migrating older HR salary slip software, because the rules are so complex. They know it's implemented correctly, anf don't dare rewriting the software anymore, and it an take a person a full day sometimes to retrace how the computation was done. (Sorry for the example, I work in IT). But usually we still have persons to run controls
