maybe clickhouse can finally make sense of the langfuse documentation

> when Claude Code generates a 1000loc file it would be silly to say "the AI didn't write this code, I did" just because you wrote the prompt.

it’s about responsibility not who wrote the code. a better question would be who takes responsibility for generating the code? it shouldn’t matter if you wrote it on a piece of paper, on a computer, by pressing tab continuously or just prompting.


i think they look absolutely horrible both inside and out. but, of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


They're indeed fuglier than fugly. I've had many BMWs but that BMX iX3 looks really bad. Don't know what they were smoking.

Wife's daily driver is a 4-series "Gran Coupé" (weird term to say it's got 4-doors and not two like the "coupé" but... "Gran" is not a french word: the french word would be "grand" so I think they somehow fucked up [1]) with the B48 ICE engine. Sweet car and really good looking.

But yeah: to each his own bad taste.

[1] not as bad as Audi and its "e-tron" where "etron", literally, means "turd" in french.


> Teaching kids how to code isn't all that meaningful on its own.

it’s extraordinary meaningful as it helps in brain development.


Problem solving does that, the coding part is just a means to that end. Learning a programming language is similar to learning a human language except much less complex. Solving problems with code helps with brain development, as does solving problems without code.

Coding is just more rewarding, it is important to learn how to solve problems with less rewarding systems. Would you have wanted to solve algebra problems on paper if you knew python? You don't need to solve those problems on paper, but it is good for brain development. Even better than coding for example. Keep in mind that a child's attention window is limited, this is very much a zero sum situation.


> Same for Uber, which sends both important order updates and marketing as push notifications.

can be disabled via:

settings > communication > push notifications

but the worst part is when they add a new category (eg uber teen accounts) and surprise it’s enabled by default.


nice review, thanks! how does it compare to claude code?


I've used it extensively in the last 36 hours to replace claude. It's not as good but it's much faster so when it makes a mistakes it's easy to get it to fix it. I find them a lot more engaged while it's doing things. So for me it's my main model and then I'll get back to Claude when I have something very tough


> their business is successful in large part because of the infrastructure in their country, the educated people they can hire, the healthcare

Germany has Europe’s lowest share of entrepreneurs to workforce. So i guess the infrastructure, education and healthcare are not really factors.

> So when you get money out of this, you pay your fair share of taxes, like everyone.

this is already happening. people are paying their taxes. but Germany wants more than it’s fair.

cherry on top: Germany has been in recession for… 3 years now?


> cherry on top: Germany has been in recession for… 3 years now?

no?


Idk what world you live in, but Germany has clearly been in recession, unemplyment rose over the last few years and the rest of the Eurozone is in a similar condition


stagnation != recession


Contraction in 2023, 2024 and stagnation in this year. It is still has the effects of a recession even if the official data doesnt reflect it.


> > You're allowed to wind down a profitable company

> I can't speak for all jurisdiction but on one that I worked in, this is not legal.

which jurisdiction doesn’t allow you to shut down your own company?


> lately I feel like they only have a negative one, notably by poisoning our societies with unregulated big tech and social networks.

do you feel like the censorship/regulation/big state mantra that european governments are fans of are also poisoning our societies?

> Whatever comes next, I can only hope that this wave of AI generated falsehoods is the last straw.

the AI wave is just beginning.


News headlines in 10 years will be like:

  Europe seeks investments to catch up lost ground in AI

  How Europe lost the AI race

  Europe seeks to invest in AI sovereignty after US & China dominated the world
Basically a repeat on how EU lost the tech and space race, but with AI this time. They just don't learn.


my answer to these kinds of laws will always be VPNs until they eventually ban those services (and i'm sure they will). then we'll be in game of cat and mouse.

another hope i had was ironically the trump admin. my hope was that tariffs would be tied to internet freedom. i guess i was wrong.

Banning VPNs is hilariously non-viable though due to business needs. It forces a fight between money and moral panicers.

Then again these are people dumb enough to try to fight cryptography while complaining about being a target of cyberattacks.
