Foreign intelligence interference in Hungary’s parliamentary election continues in an unusually aggressive and open manner.
Certain foreign intelligence services, with the involvement of a Hungarian journalist, have wiretapped and are publishing phone conversations, once again today.
The latest “revelation” presents four major “new findings”:
1. Hungary stands firmly for peace and fully supports all peace efforts.
2. We stand up in the strongest possible terms for Hungarians in Transcarpathia, whose rights have been continuously taken away by the Ukrainian state over the past ten years.
3. We are fighting for access to cheap Russian oil and gas, because without them utility costs in Hungary would triple.
4. We consider Brussels’ policy on the war extremely dangerous as it risks dragging Europe into the conflict.
Bravo for this “huge revelation.”

@allenholub Hear, hear. Long time ago that I heard someone explain this well including the 10%. Coding is not development.
English

In all the foofaraw surrounding AI, many people seem to have forgotten that product development is not all about coding, and that coding is maybe 10% of the actual work.
No AI on the planet can talk to your customers and understand their problems or collaborate with them on the best solutions. No AI can develop true user stories—not that As-a-I-need garbage forced into a bug-tracking ticket, but actual stories that describe critical user problems and come from deep conversations and hands-on work in the domain. No AI can understand software architecture or develop an optimal architecture for a specific context. An AI might help with marketing collateral, if you can stomach the theft of intellectual property, but it cannot understand the market or build market share. Even on the engineering side, AI tests are barely adequate, don't test critical parts of the system, and won't exist at all unless the people who do the work value quality. AIs cannot determine value or understand customer happiness. AIs cannot do TDD. They cannot understand the domain sufficiently to create a great model. They cannot build incrementally, assess feedback, and adjust accordingly.
"Any day now" holds no weight with me. I've never met a leprechaun.
Don't get me wrong. LLM-assisted software engineering is a useful tool that can help quite a bit with 10% or so of the work, but that remaining 90% is the hard part.

We were dialing directly into Microsoft at <56K using WzMail from a hotel fax line and doing only email, hoping someone didn’t send a 5MB attachment (those were big spreadsheets or “production” powerpoint decks).

You wake up and it's 1990. No wifi. No mobile phones. No social media. No doom scrolling. What do you do first?

@stevesi Worked and implemented STS and WSS! Great times and a fantastic tech community at that time. Sharepoint blogging was ook on the rise back then.

Is Hungarian spring really „MAGYAR tavasz” in your language, dear @PM_ViktorOrban?😀

@FM_Szijjarto @ZelenskyyUa @PM_ViktorOrban Says the guy who helps growing the belly of @PM_ViktorOrban
English

.@ZelenskyyUa is completely mistaken. Ukraine is defending itself, not us. Russia attacked them, not us. This is not our war.
His rude remarks about @PM_ViktorOrban, his alliance with Brussels, and his support for the Tisza Party will not change our position.
We will not send Hungarian taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, we will not allow ourselves to be dragged into their war, and we will not let Hungarian youth be sent to the Ukrainian front.

@CryptoJelleNL Thanks for sharing. what's your view on a slow rotation into alts? BTC goes sideways, alts go up?

@colman_michel @Lefthandluke3 @Boenau The Netherlands is one of the safest countries for cyclists, as crash risks for cyclists are lower in countries with higher bicycle use. We have dedicated (government)instances which are continuously doing data driven monitoring and research to improve the safety.
English

Personal experience once blowing straight through a stop sign I didn't see? Go ahead, call me a bad driver (I certainly was that day). But I know lots of people will make the same mistake. I got lucky that day, no bicycles were coming out of the bushes. Also, countless cases of trucks and buses missing bicycles in their blind spots. No, I don't have the numbers.

American bike advocates routinely (and correctly) talk about Dutch design being a gold standard.
e.g. the Dutch roundabout

@colman_michel @Lefthandluke3 @Boenau Do you have a link to your evidence? as you wrote: "but it's actually terrible from a safety standpoint."
English

@Lefthandluke3 @Boenau Do you have a link to that evidence? Lots of things are said to be backed by evidence until you look into it and the evidence isn't there, or unrelated evidence was incorrectly extrapolated.

$XMR Always good if they can't easily convert their coins. Forced HODLing creates stability after all.
Something criminal coins have speaking in their favor. ☠️

$XMR. Nice retest of the range break out. Also a W stochastic cross.

@ManuelOnchain Seen the lack of volume on bitcoin? It can’t break through 94k. Bears are in charge.

@Sssebi Or someone who uses usd1 without trailing stop loss is stupid. No liquidity.

@Sssebi Who says it has underperformed? Or is it taking longer than expected?

@egestasnet @silentblossom_ Meneer Van Dale regel is achterhaald. Wordt niet meer toegepast op scholen. Eerst de vermenigvuldiging, dan van links naar rechts plussen en minnen. Wordt dan 9-4+4. Ik kom (ook) nog uit de tijd van Meneer Van Dalen, moest heel erg wennen aan de nieuwe middelbare school regels

@silentblossom_ 2*2=4
4+4=8
9-8=1

@F1Clapped With 4 races, 2 sprints left, 40 points down my guess is 20%. It might be higher if his chances were reliant only on his performance, but we also likely need to have some sub par performances from both Lando and Oscar to make it work.
