You don't need more speed, you need better planning.

The Helsinki bike infrastructure is even better than the Dutch one, if you spend time there, get a bike!

> It's not even clear what parts of the movement are earnestly held and which are purely opportunists trading on the fears of the naive.

None of them and all of them.


That only works as long as the powers that be don't start quoting this stuff themselves.

As you should be. I so far have not verified my age for anything, if that becomes a requirement I just bow out.

It isn't doing that now, but you can't be sure about what they're going to be up to a little ways down the line, the fact that they are clearly trying to misdirect the traffic is proof positive they're up to no good.

Just do a bit of risk assessment if something like this were to be shipped to people that have come to blindly trust the source and you'll see why letting this slip is a very bad idea.


Youtube is insanely ineffecient compared to a good AI model in interactive mode.

Youtube is insanely inefficient even compared to a well written and organized wall of text. I guarantee that archwiki will get me on track faster than watching videos but google's freely available model will give me the exact step by step explanation that I needed nearly every time.

True. An "AI agent" is >100x as fast at mistakingly wiping C:.

I don't let AI agents anywhere near my systems.

I meant just interactive as in you talk to it in a browser a-la chatgpt compared to trying to find the same information from videos.


> Text coming out of an LLM should be in a special codeblock of Unicode, so we can see it is generated by AI.

That's exactly my proposed solution:

> With software engineers and office work you don’t have legal limitations on who can perform the work

Technically true, but if you want the IP to be covered by copyright you better make sure they're not using AI or you'll find out that there are some serious legal limitations in your future when you aim to either pick up investment or sell your IP.


Correct. The US has already ruled that there are no IP protections for AI generated content

An unqualified statement, the user has copyright over the elements they provide. In an image if they make manual edits for example, those are protected. In a modern agentic codebase the code itself is least valuable, what counts more are the specs and tests.

Good luck with that argument in court.

> Only available in kit form after Apple complained.

That's several levels of disgusting. But then again, Apple long ago lost touch with the people that put them on the map in the first place.


If you don't protect your trademarks you lose them. Could be worse, if this was Nintendo there'd be a hit squad out.

They could have just come to an agreement, that way it would not lead to trademark dilution.
