Without the Chinese purchases, the prices are too low to make harvesting profitable or at least if they have no buyer, they get no profit. The beans will die and rot in the fields. Then next year comes around and they don't have any money to plant new crops. I am not sure if insurance for crops is a thing anymore in the US but next spring the fields might be empty.

I know two neurodivergent people that love trains, one is into models and the other trainspotting. They are correct too, trains are awesome.

That is oddly specific.

As long as there are people who don't get it, it will never get old.

Why is it missing Haskell?

UK residents and anyone else who needs ID for verification should look at this website https://use-their-id.com/ . I strongly suggest not doing it because you can create parody drivers licenses featuring your favorite UK politicians.

Fix the way multi-player works and people will actually want to play the game.

The biggest point is that you must be an expert in the field you are using it in. I rarely get fooled by hallucinations and stupid bugs because they are glaringly obvious to me. The best use case is having the llm write code for using a library that has poor documentation, that am going to use once, and I am too lazy to learn. These tools are scary when used by juniors, they are creating more work for everyone by using llms to code. I just imagine myself using this when I was a fresh grad, it is terrifying. It would have only been one step up from vibe coding.

A lot of you have a lot of faith in people reviewing PRs. I know a few Sr. developers, that if shit was too busy, would skim it and say 'fuck it, it will be QAs problem. If you put this in the correct sub-system in file that would only be executed once a month, for example a maintenance class, It would be really hard to notice something is wrong if it didn't cause issues seen immediately. Maybe this is the story of an intern that added something that also fucked up boolean comparisons in a subsystem used once a month. Where there is a 2 week lag between the execution and operations noticing something wrong.

People don't get that with money they can do whatever they want. Want to do something illegal, just do it because you have unlimited funds to pay your legal team to clean up the mess afterwards. We are absolutely powerless against something that can litigate you to death. Defederating is the only power we have. There is no way to react to anything that happens. There are no consequences for their actions. They don't even answer to any governments.

Those stock indexes only show how the top corporations are doing. A company gets removed from the index if it performs poorly and is replaced by another company that has increasing stock price. The markets as it is displayed in media only show how corporations are doing. So basically the ruling class is selling economic performance to everyone else to keep people in line and their heads securely on their bodies.
