I know the US is different than Europe, that’s why I mentioned my POV.

And I still don’t really understand it, because the numbers are really very different. Oklahoma City (without the metropolitan area) is about as big as my as my hometown Bremen. We just had protests because our chancellor-to-be collaborated with the fascist party - we were about 1500 people, with about 24 hours notice. Big protests are up to 25000-50000 people. And as you said, other protests in the US were way bigger.

So I don’t think “time for preparation” is an important factor, especially as it is not really a surprise that Trump became president and is doing shitty things. Unless protests in the US are more complicated for some reason I don’t see yet?

From an outside perspective, I would guess it’s more about work culture - people being burnt out, no protections from getting fired. This might lead to less of a protest culture culture overall maybe. Which is also weird, because the US also has seen some very well known and successful protest movements.

Bonus: current Hollwood movies always seem to make it a point that the protagonist is very much trying to not get involved. I wonder what that says about the (current) culture in the US.

Do you have any numbers? Because the numbers for the 50501 protests seem really small to me as a German.

Props to those who organize and participate of course!

Write your code as if the next person that works with it is a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

Not just the economy. He’s also getting a lot of people killed, injured and traumatized.

By teaching history, including how capitalism killed millions of people, whole ecosystems and uncountable species.

So his approach to reducing bureaucracy is having everyone document and explain what they do?

“Spent some time with my kids.”

I was told there would be checks and balances.

From what I’ve read, bigger models don’t necessarily mean better results - at least not past a certain point.

I mean, project managers have been not caring about professional coders since way before the current LLM hype.

Apparently, that was some other Zuckerberg project: https://www.metro.us/everything-to-know-about-facemash-the-site-zuckerberg-created-in-college-to-rank-hot-women/

That’s not true - I’m complaining about the bugs in our software almost every day!

Alerta! Alerta! I’m a barista!

The bigger issues that we care about are things like going bankrupt from getting sick or injured. Those issues are directly caused by their CEOs.

I think that depends very much on where you live. Here in Germany we don’t usually go bankrupt from getting sick. I at least worry much more about the climate catastrophe or right wing propaganda on social media. Issues that in a funny coincidence are also caused directly by CEOs.

That probably depends on which constitution you’re talking about ;)

But I wonder if “for-profit organization may not use recommendation algorithms” would be constitutional in e.g. EU countries.

Good to know that they really have thought it through. Reminds me of the kind of user story our project manager writes.

Higher yes, significantly not necessarily.

Didn’t they stop trying at some point because they didn’t want him to be replaced by someone competent?

As I understand it: because not enough people will use it through these ways, leading to not enough motivation for the dev(s?) .
