🇮🇹 Io di virus ne so poco o niente.
Ma di sistemi dinamici complessi, probabilità, gestione del rischio ed effetti non lineari magari ne capisco qualcosa in più.
Il 27 Gennaio ho inviato al #Parlamento una petizione per chiedere la quarantena di 21 giorni.

I've never met people who call themselves hammer haters or wrench loathers.

As a certified AI hater, I begrudgingly admit that Claude Code solved a hard, undocumented problem for me today in under an hour that I've been dealing with for nearly a year

While it is true that Spain 🇪🇸 has developed a lot after joining the EU 🇪🇺, their economic recovery started slowly after the end of the civil war and development picked up pace around 1960.
Spain had already started to grow pretty fast in the last 15 years of the Franchist regime.

@RomanRapist666 @PERKIIARCHIVES @i34629 "If we look to the past" = Spain was poorer than most of Latin America until the 1950s and poorer than Argentina until the 1970s. It was uplifted by the EEC and the EU, it's the country that got the most EU development funds, equivalent to more than a Marshall Plan for itself.

I sincerely cannot believe this.

Morocco and Tunisia (Algeria too) must be closer.

At very least the coastal Tunisian communities.

I used to have that level of knowledge of some languages.

Especially SQL, at some point in my life I dreamt in SQL, I could read a 20 pages long query and spot the issues like you spot that some text has been written from AI.

Luckily our brain is plastic, so once I stopped spending all my day with SQL, I stopped to dream in SQL 🤭

Anyway, @unclebobmartin is right, it would be a complete waste of time and effort to do that now.

These artificial neural networks are doing it for us, and they are quite good at it.

I used to be a language lawyer. In the late 80s I _studied_ the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual for C++). I knew the language cold, inside and out. I could make it do backflips. I shipped a lot of code using it. A LOT.

I’ve attacked other languages with a similar intensity and depth. Until recently, that was simply the only way to become adept at building software systems.

I now consider the deep understanding of a language to be a supreme waste of time and effort. I don’t want to learn Rust, or Golang, or Typescript, or any of the thousands of other languages out there. I’ll leave that to my agents.

What I need now is to understand the high level gestalt of the system. I want to see the systems and subsystems. I don’t need to inspect the cogs. If I truly need to understand a detail at the cog level, I’ll interrogate my agents. I’m not going to pretend to be a language expert anymore.
