Once a dominant male porcupine finds a prospective female mate, he will approach her and spray his urine on her. The chemical reaction that takes place allows the female to be sexually receptive.
Yeah, that's fun. How similar we are to the animals!

Meta's death spiralFrom the perspective of my kids, having a FB account is a completely absurd idea.
I deleted my FB account around 5 years ago and never missed it.

AI Market ShareIt's true, and it's very sad. We kill innovation and are proud of it. 99% of the people don't even see a problem. By the end of the century we'll be the South America of the globe. Well, minus the hot chicks.

How to Learn to Code in 2026@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.

How to Learn to Code in 2026Coding with LLMs works amazingly well, I love it.
But the one thing I'm not so certain about: LLMs are good at creating apps that use and combine the zoo of abstractions (libraries and frameworks etc) out there.
What remains to be seen is whether LLMs will be good at abstracting. Could they ever come up with a good design of a collections library, for instance, if such libraries weren't part of their learning data? Could they recognize patterns such as structural recursion over an algebraic data type and come up with the abstraction of folds/catamorphisms? That's not so obvious.

AI Market ShareGermany with its famous "German engineering," India with its army of IT professionals, Japan with its dominance in high-end consumer electronics, South Korea with its humongous electronic component manufacturing capacities, the UK and the entire European Union with their combined economic might ... it's like they don't exist in the global AI tech race.
It's true, and the depressing thing is that nobody cares. It's a non-topic. Not the politicians, not the media. As if AI wouldn't influence our future.
