In this post, I argue that individual intellectual activity can only be sustained in an intellectual community of other humans. AI dissolves these communities, which in turn makes private intellectual activity rarer. Some years ago, when it became clear that AI would solve software engineering, my thinking was: The second point has not quite worked out. What actually happened? First, the discourse of software engineering became worse. As I wrote earlier : Claude Code was released a little over a year ago. In that short time, software engineering has been completely transformed. Materially, it might be positive: higher productivity, though at the cost of a messier codebase. Socially, it has

Zelensky called it a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin that amounts to "an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged". Trump said Putin had agreed to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel immediately "to the American and global marketplace" followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and another million after that. It is understood the US Treasury is suspending sanctions on Russian diesel exports until 7 April as part of the deal, but other assets like those in American banks are still frozen. In his Truth Social post, Trump added that a further three

Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores was the candidate for left-wing Ahora Nación A man named Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores has secured a narrow victory in Peru's local elections, exit polls show. The candidate for the centre-left Ahora Nación party was elected mayor of Queropalca, a remote district in the Peruvian Andes. Some 229 residents voted for the 45-year-old, putting him ahead of the second-place candidate from right-wing Renovación Popular Perú by just 25 votes. Despite being elected to represent fewer than 1,000 people, his forenames being those of two notorious fascist dictators has drawn outsized international attention to the small corner of the country.

Am trying to learn web development by creating a website my own instead learning every single theory written on a textbook. Currently am trying to link a stylesheet and favicon on my root folder into the file called debian.html and debian-post-install.html . But it’s not working and I don’t know why. To point to the root directory files or directories we use / in html instead of ../ right? Then why it’s not working. Also I need advice on how bad is my html file structuring and what changes recommended. link rel= "icon" type = "image/png" href= "../../images/favicon.png" />

I post the detection of a alleged Dark matter particle, because it’s so vague, 1 data point per a test. Something is there but I don’t think it’s dark matter in the way it’s explained now. Might it just be possible that because we built everything around this one theory that we can’t get physical proof that we are missing multiple different reasons and even fields. I feel a lot of science has bogged it’s self down with theory and maybes for decades and decades now with no proof. And with the paper printer of Universities, even old or disprove theories keep getting posted. I am not denying the existence of some kind of matter but everything is so varied I don’t believe just dark matter
