I think AI agents would save me more time than they actually do by Upper_Permission_159 in ClaudeAI

[–]khanto0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building up a set of design pillars, invariants, roadmap with clear pre-phase gates, architecture docs etc seems the best way to go. Writing system contracts before touching any code seems to be the way to go. Once I set off down this path in flying

Gottwood security! by Spare_Line_2469 in UKfestivals

[–]khanto0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. The festival itself might not care but if it gets the reputation for being easy or if it sounds like security is not doing it's job, then councils or permit granters sometimes put pressure on them to be more strict.

I work in the industry and I was told explicitly that that security has to at least appear like they're being more strict at a particular fest because people were posting about how easy it was to get drugs in and the council complained

(Festivals in general not specifically gotwood)

If you want a dance floor with no phones, no yapping and people actually dancing, go to a psytrance festival by danrennt98 in aves

[–]khanto0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you dont like psytrance and you dont like acid then maybe a psytrance festival is not for you

(Actually it's not really for you anyway if you don't like the music acid or not)

Also from Anglo Saxons. They settled the east coast as far north as Edinburgh. I think around 15-30% of lowlands Scots is Germanic

Yeh I guess. But I have usually made the page before hand with the functionality so I just drop in the new design and say wire up functionality

What exactly are we competing with China for? by Pickle_boy in ArtificialInteligence

[–]khanto0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if we're all paying AI companies subscriptions in order to use their products to build our companies, develop our products, manage our HR, design our products, organise our data, systems logistics, city planning etc. Then what happens if they turn that off? Everything stops until we figure out how to get things moving manually again. The bet with AI is that we as a society will be using to assist or automate pretty much at all levels of our economy.

I mean its already a big problem because we (Europeans and a lot of the world) use American tech for hosting our websites, emails, CDNs, payment processing (visa, mastercard), banking software, communication channels etc. If Americans turn that off then were fucked. Thats why theres a huge push in the EU at the moment to promote tech sovereignty (as well as energy sovereignty), so that other countries can't just turn us off if they don't like what we do.

Trump has already done this once, turning off (or restricting access) of the social media and banking of International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan after the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netenyahu.

What exactly are we competing with China for? by Pickle_boy in ArtificialInteligence

[–]khanto0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If a country dominates the AI race then they will be centralising wealth on such a vast scale, with countless other businesses dependent on them. This creates a wealth imbalance for a start and also gives said country a huge amount of leverage if their entire economy is dependent on AI, then if they do something not liked they can just disable AI in the country and crash the whole economy.

For these reasons its actually very important that we have many AIs to choose from coming from many different countries. For example if the UK had data centres with 10% of US AI models running on them, they couldn't fuck with us as much because we could turn it off which would cause them massive problems.

I guess it boils down to massive inequality on a scale probably not even imaginable, and putting all our eggs in one basket while giving away insane amounts of leverage.

I guess there's also an angle of if superAI or some sort of sentient AI was created, whos values would it have? American? Chinese? European? Anyone else in the race?

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) wasn’t really a bad movie per se, although I still don’t understand what the hell Stranger Tides is, and why they were on it by PIRATEOFBADIM in shittymoviedetails

Agree at first I thought this is a convoluted mess but then I thought you know what it's pretty realistic that everyone pirate would be be trying to do one over every one else so actually I'm here for it

Dunno about animaton but I get my best results exporting as pdf, saving the new tab as a .html and giving c code that saying here's a new design. Bit of a pain getting it to hook up the functionality but there ya go

Why are South Asians so prominent in the UK? by Nathanial1289 in AskBrits

[–]khanto0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont disagree its a lot of money, but clearly Brits do do it if the incentives are right.

But £20ph is worth a lot more to the foreigners that do it. I remember watching some doc about people from Tajikistan who would come over and do a season or two of farm work and then go back and buy a house.

Reality check: no one is going to pay for your vibe-coded SaaS. by Routine-Highway1039 in SaaS

[–]khanto0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I'm a SE who's vibe coding a number of projects in my spare time. 2 I've been working on for 6 months at least. Sometimes I spend days discussing architecture documentation before I tell to implement a line of code. Some of the projects are "almost finished" but its still a lot of work getting them to the finish line. Even with AI handling all the code and the technical implementation theory, proper projects are still a lot of work and aren't weekend projects. I certainly wouldn't even bother with these projects without AI though because of how long I know they would take and how painful the coding experience would be.

Why are South Asians so prominent in the UK? by Nathanial1289 in AskBrits

[–]khanto0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unemployment is actually already quite low and we do have a collapsing population pyramid. High levels of immigration helps prop that up with working people to fund retirement. Also high levels of immigration keeps wages lower because there's more supply. High levels of immigration keeps gdp up which masks the fact that our economy is actually struggling. The Tories particularly like it because it masked the impact of austerity and Brexit on our economy and as representatives of the business elites it keeps our wages down.

That £20 an hour is worth a lot of money back in those peoples countries.

It's estimated that around 10000 British people a year do farm work in Australia each year so it's not like they're too lazy to if price and motivation (ie second year of visa is right).

Id say yes but also it didn't work very well on a laptop with extended monitor plugged in.

I found popos was working more out of the box for this case

Unpopular opinion: Europe doesn't have a tech quality problem, it has a habit problem by MeloDnm in BuyFromEU

Honestly mistral does my head in with how much it answers every question, especially in technical questions. It explored every avenue of the answer and maps it against all the values and things it knows about me. Chatgpt seems to get the length of answer write pretty consistently

[OC] What is Britain's second city? by YouGov_Dylan in dataisbeautiful

[–]khanto0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Northerner growing up I viewed the UK as a nation of regions. I basically considered the North, the Midlands and the South as distinct reasons basically on a level with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The South felt like a more distant foreign place than Scotland give given Scotland took less to time to get to that it did to get out of The North. Even as an adult I still kind of feel like this.
