    I just remember from a while ago Queen Elizabeth dedicating a navy ship and referring to it as "my ship."

    I think the Somalis and fraudsters are. Plead guilty, give 20% back and you're cool. I suspect he still has a good bit of that $9M left. I advocate flogging and a long stretch at hard labor.

    I do remember. I actually have saved the English language Taiwan newspaper from that day. [image: 1777777649494-img_4943.jpg]

    @Axtremus Oh, there were lots of nazi's who weren't german. Just look at the number of european volunteers in the Waffen SS.

    If he wasn't regime change he should be bombing them right now. And (evil of me to say it) this should be a total war not a "bomb some refinery somewhere" strategy. You have to make the people feel it.

    Yeap, heard the similar story from some power/energy/utilities engineers I know. There are other components that are critical to hooking a data center up to the grid that are also back-ordered for years.

    @Renauda said: @taiwan_girl To me, this is a situation that the writers of the US constitution could never ever ever imagined. So for those who say that the constitution needs to be interpreted as the writers wanted makes no sense.. Good point and there are many, I’m sure who feel the same about 2nd Amendment “the right to bear arms shall not be infringed”. There is no way that the framers could have envisioned readily available breechloading firearms with semi-automatic and automatic actions firing centre fire smokeless powder rounds at high velocities. I agree 100%. I (and I believe you) have made that argument before. Lets get us on the US Supreme Court.

    @Horace said: If a human can describe the logic in natural language then the LLM can code it. It seems you’re talking about the creative thinking behind generating abstractions but that’s not the same thing as generating code from well specified natural language. No matter how abstract the library, if a human can describe it unambiguously then an LLM can code it. If a human can code something then an LLM can too. Because if a human can code something then they can describe it. True, but the hard part is not to translate logic in natural language to code, but it is in coming up with the logic. I'd argue that this is the actual coding.
