Re: Brazil Watch Thread

The media and the common people are completely detached in Brazil; it feels like they are creating news for no one, as no one trusts a single thing of what they are saying anymore. One of the reasons might be that there are only heavy-sided newslets in Brazil at the moment (think Fox vs CNN), so bas...

Re: The final frontier: AI is now helping programmers to code (itself?)

Just wanted to drop by today to say that I've been using this almost daily. It helps when I am tired and just want to finish something. It get the right thing done and in our coding style like 50% of the time, it's nuts how good it is. The other 50% I code manually. They way it works is that the hum...

Re: Full liberalisation of Cuba or fascist Cuba

These movements in Cuba represent two news for the country: one bad and one good. The good one first: Cuba and their people are finally realizing that living as a slave to the nation state and their masters (politicians and deep state bureaucrats) might be a bad idea. The bad one: the current genera...

The final frontier: AI is now helping programmers to code (itself?)

Github just recently launched the technical preview of their AI-based assistant for coding. I am super excited to start using it and by the looks of it, it's going to speed up most boring tasks a normal software developer has. Of course it's no silver bullet (yet), but I look forward to it! https://...

Re: How do you think the general public wants us to evolve in terms of tv/movies?

I, for one, would like to see Nickelodeon and Disney be accepting of the LGBTQA community. I’d also like to see the Barbie brand become accepting as well. I don't think sexuality should be the topic of a childrens' show. It's getting kinda boring how hard these things are being forced in the wester...

Re: Aging & Longevity News and Discussions

Is anyone here already taking supplements or in a different diet with aging in mind? I'd love to hear recommendations on what I could start doing right NOW and not wait for a wonder drug from the future (although my expectation for it is immense). I am already doing intermittent fasting, exercising ...
