And in other news, the Trump appointed ambassador in Belgium, Bill White, is fine with adult men sucking the blood from a baby penis.

And if you think I'm kidding, no I'm not.

Some of those boys end up with herpes, but it's all fine in MAGA land.

Didn't a bunch of kids in NYC get STIs cuz of this like a decade or two ago? A bunch of rabbis were biting baby dicks, oh sorry I mean performing a religious ceremony, and giving kids STIs.

That is likely indeed, because in the interview, she explicitly mentions that New York is also questioning that practice.

Ah yes, freedom of speech for the Europeans!

And when we travel to US, they need to check our social media to see if our opinions align with the US government.

The problem I mostly see with non programmers is that they don't really grasp the concept of a consistent system.

A lot of people want X, but they also want Y, while clearly X and Y cannot coexist in the same system.

I think it all depends on the use case and a luck factor.

Sometimes I instruct copilot/claude to do a development (stretching it's capabilities), and it does amazingly well. Mind you that this is front-end development, so probably one of the more ideal use-cases. Bugfixing also goes well a lot of times.

But other times, it really struggles, and in the end I have to write it by hand. This is for more complex or less popular things (In my case React-Three-Fiber with skeleton animations).

So I think experiences can vastly differ, and in my environment very dependent on the case.

One thing is clear: This AI revolution (deep learning) won't replace developers any time soon. And when the next revolution will take place, is anyones guess. I learned neural networks at university around 2000, and it was old technology then.

I view LLM's as "applied information", but not real reasoning.

You can't expect them to fix everything all at once. What about the hardware?

Let them focus on offering a payment system, and let others focus on their thing.

I really love this clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W_UE7h3nTmQ

When the reporter asks: "Does it still include US having ownership of Greenland?"

Trump: "Um....eh...."

All this posturing and he ended up with nothing.

Then tell us what powers does the Dutch NATO chief has to make a deal in name of Greenland and Denmark.

Trump got empty hands, he got totally played by the nice words of Rutte.

Edit: Your conversation is really mind boggling:

"Trump got a great deal on Greenland!"

"What deal?"

"How would I know?!?!?!"

Nice way of avoiding the main question: What deal? There is no new deal between Greenland/Denmark and US.

aaand he never replied

It is like they're brainwashed. Awful.

It is mind boggling how you keep trying to deflect away given your narrative.

> Trump got a standing ovation at Davos and got a deal for Greenland

And you don't know what is the deal, at all, so how can you base your entire argument in something you simply do not know? You don't know, you simply do not know.

I'm confident to go a step further and say there is no deal.

Greenland and Denmark weren't present to make a deal.

And to quote Trump: "Well, the deal is going to be put out pretty soon and we'll see. It's right now a little bit in progress, but pretty far along." (from https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W_UE7h3nTmQ)

The deal that is "now a little bit in progress", sounds to me like there is no deal.

We have.... concepts of a deal.

Survival is all about being prepared for all kinds of scenarios, adapting to the situation, and a ton of luck.

I rather have a few weapons, than no weapons at all.

That depends on a lot of personal things. I remember a Ukrainian I personally know, leaving after the 2014 invasion.

When Russia was doing "exercises" at their border in 2022, I asked them in a meeting what they felt (guys living in Lviv). Most of them thought Russia would have done it in 2014 already, and now it didn't make much sense. Only 1 person responded he filled up his gas tank. But in the end, nobody left Lviv right after the invasion.

I work with plenty of people from Ukraine. And recently, someone went abroad. So it's definitely still possible.

Very unlikely. Men of ages 18-60 are forbidden to leave Ukraine since February 27 or 28 of 2022. Women cannot cross the border since 2023.

Of course, there should be some exceptions. For example, some people need to go abroad to bring Western supplied munitions, officials can leave to visit other countries, etc.

But almost 100% of the population cannot leave Ukraine under any circumstances.

> Women cannot cross the border since 2023.

I have spoken with several Ukrainian women who have crossed the border several times since 2023. They live and work in Poland or Czechia, but go visit Ukraine once or twice a year. Note they're Ukrainian citizens, and do not have Czech nor Polish citizenship.

Untrue, why the heck do you keep spreading lies all over here? Young people including men 18-22 can leave Ukraine these days.

This change was all over the world news at the end of December. You are not on the top of your game, are you.

I don't follow Ukrainian laws closely. I remember they allowed young men of ages 18-22 to cross the border in August 2025 (!). That caused enormous lines on the borders as the first day after this law 11,000 young men fled the country.

But that only about men of age 18-22. Men of age 22-60 still cannot leave the country. And 18-22 couldn't leave the country for three years.

Honest question: why do you comment when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about? You make all kinds of false claims, and then people who actually know have to correct you.

I have information from the first hands because half of my family lives in Ukraine.

Where do you get your information? From CNN? Can you show an Ukrainian law that allows men to freely cross the border?

You skipped the part where I said I work with Ukrainians? I work with them on a weekly basis for 13 years.

> Can you show an Ukrainian law that allows men to freely cross the border?

Did I say he crossed it legally? He crossed it illegally of course, which according to you was impossible due to guards with automatic rifles, drones and anti-personnel mines.

> half of my family lives in Ukraine.

My bet: You haven't spoken with them in years, because they cut connections due to your political views. Just as I will now.

A not so great man once said: "To think badly is a sin, but you're almost always right".

> Very unlikely.

Well, the guy I know fled Ukraine last year, and is now alive and well abroad. So I would say very likely.
