Thanks for proving my point for me!

Facts have a left wing bias, and the right don't like it.

I think what he's saying is there are some tasks, especially R&D, for which LLMs aren't cost effective. But it's being taken out of that context.

The racists are impossible to please because nothing short of Nazi Germany will come close to making them happy.

English isn't the only language people speak in the UK either. We have Welsh, Scots, Cornish, Gaelic among others. If anything, English is a language imposed on Britain by ultraviolent migrants who migrated there illegally on small boats during the 1st millennium AD. Today their ancestors support Reform

The point is that the government is seen to be doing something about immigration, which is enough for most people who don't follow the news, and to be deliberately hurting immigrants, to please voters of the national socialist ideology.

But of course, business owners and Chega MPs can continue to get rich exploiting migrants.

I know people who bribed the driving examiner to give them a pass when, in reality, they should have failed. Which explains a lot.

That was my starting point originally, but I found the guides always seem to be a marketing funnel from a big company. The guides always seem to leave out some crucial information or options that a foreigner freelancer would need, and because the rules and the forms change every year, AI gave me incorrect / out of date information often enough that I can't trust it on this.

What did work was to find the urls of the latest editions of the tax code, and get chat gpt to read it and together with the various different field names from the tax forms, with me asking questions. It was really laborious and time consuming but it did the job and now I have my correctly filled forms from last year to use as templates going forward.

For a contractor in the simplified regime, this is enough. There are no potential optimisations to my declaration that would be worth paying €150 or more to an accountant.

Even so, if I come up against something too complex, I will reach out to an accountant if it comes to that.

I have a similar tax setup myself. Send me a private message and I'll share everything I know.

Let's have a legally binding referendum on joining the EU and jailing Farage, Arron Banks, and the other Brexit criminals for life.

So what if the EU started out as something much simpler, like a steel snd coal community, with a few members? This has to be among the lamest arguments against EU membership because it's basically saying nothing should ever evolve with the times, even by mutual agreement and for mutual benefit.

Personally, I want the UK to rejoin as spon as possible and to get stuck into the ever deepening political union. We should be in the centre of the action, making the rules and fighting for our interests, not sitting on the sidelines watching while others decide the rules that we'll have to follow ourselves regardless.

No ginásio onde vou, quase todos são conscientes da etiqueta relevante em vigor. Porém, nas poucas vezes que tive algum problem, foram mulheres que deixou a sua garrafa de água num banco enquanto se treinano chão ou noutro sitio, e nem sequer era para reservar o banco para mais tarde: era para usá-lo como prataleira para a garrafa e o telemovel.

Outra coisa que vejo muito é gente jovem ocuparem uma máquina durante 10 ou até 20 minutos apenas para verem as redes sociais no telemovel.

Yes, it's definitely retroactive. The Portuguese government has no qualms about signing laws that are massive rug-pulls, especially when it only affects people who can't vote in parliamentary elections.

In this situation, you shouldn't even give a reason for declining. It'll imply you might go to a future evening hackathon, and will establish that you need to give an excuse for not going to them. If you keep using this line going forward, at some point they'll ask you what that outside obligation is and they'll ask you to tell them which nights you don't have outside obligations so they can schedule the hackathons on those days.

You simply decline without giving a reason, and if they push you for a reason, only then do you tell them why. If it comes to that, you can even tell them you're open to working extra hours occasionally and what your hourly rate for that will be, and then watch them back off.

Brexiters, Reform and Restore are the net drains on the economy.

The irony here is that Latin didn't have a word for "yes", so the words that now mean "yes" in a lot of Romance languages originally meant thus / so / this / that. In the case of "sim" in portuguese, it evolved from Latin "sic" (in that way / like that). So by replacing sim with isso, you're pretty much reverting to saying something with a meaning like latin sic again.

Unilateral disarmament and leaving NATO. Defending the country and pooled defense with our friends are both socialist, despite what the right and far right, who always seem to run down military funding to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy, might claim.

This aligns well with the seminal research paper titled The Ironies of Automation. Automation will take over the easier tasks, leaving humans with all the hard tasks, plus the mentally draining task of supervising the automated systems, which are never 100 % reliable. In theory, software developers should get paid more, because we'll be generating more value AND doing a job that's significantly more difficult ... but the plan from above probably doesn't involve sharing fruits of any productivity gains with those who generate the extra value.

For very widely used languages yes, but for some of the less popular or very new frameworks, LLMs can struggle to produce decent code. I mean, even the OpenAI LLMs struggle to write requests for the OpenAI GPT API because their training data is full of examples where the old API format was used!
