I guess this might be an incentive for some developing nations.

But FTA agreements also come with a lot of strings attachted.

For example, I would not want an FTA agreement with the US, regardless. They usually require the partner nations to enforce US copyright law. Also we already have higher consumer product standards and I doubt the US will raise theirs to comply.

You need privacy for piracy or you’ll get a penalty.

With which nations? A Free Trade Agreement isn’t something universally good.

Whenever I last rewatched ATLA.

I fell while skiing and slid down the track, head first, towards a large boulder. When I finally stopped and looked up it was around 10cm away from my face.

I hope they catch the guy and give him a serious paid suspension.

That seems rather extreme to me.

The youtube channel @PlainlyDifficult has a whole playlist about “sources in the wild” that also covered this one and many other nuclear accidents and incidents.

The biggest risk is when you upload content, which makes torrenting dangerous. But using a VPN is really enough.

For things like pirate streaming sites or DDL sites, a VPN is definitly recommended, but I used those for years without one and nothing ever happened.

I obviously don’t condone pirate

It’s fine if you do, this is a piracy community.

Yep, it’s called a “radioisotope thermoelectric generator”. Mostly used on satellites.

Yeah, for some reason electronics are one of the few items that basically cost the same in Switzerland as in the neighbouring countries, which make them fairly cheap in terms of buying power.

The food prices though …

So you think it’s stealing, but still do it if it’s hard to get?

The contents of a bank’s safe are also a pain to get.

Instantly found it on various popular torrent sites.

I do see the potential value and I’m happy it worked out for you. But don’t end up like the lawyers that used chatGPT like a search engine and it just made up fictiional cases they cited in an actual court.

Yeah, that happened.

I’ve used it a bit for general knowledge things and fun facts, and on more than a couple of occasions it just made shit up.

I’m sure it has some uses, I see a lot of AI generated porn in my “all” feed … just haven’t found one for myself or my work.

I have a feeling this one’s mostly operator error.

Once we found the issues, it was actually quite easy to tell the AI to fix them. But at this point you’re debugging generated code to imrpove your input for the code generator … and it just was faster to write the code by hand.

And yes, there was a vast overestimation of what it can do, especially by some managers that used to be coders and thought this would compensate for their lack of recent practical expirence. It didn’t … I had to fix it.

Pedestrian here, can confirm. Cyclists are the worst.

Pineappe raclette.

We used it for code generation. But we ended up spending more time fixen and debugging the generated code than it would have taken us to just write it. Also it introduces the most annoying type of bugs. Like once it misspelled a property name, but only at one point in the code, got it right everywhere else.

You can’t just remove heat by adding electromagnetic energy.

Except that you can.
