  • From what I heard, in US or EU people are supposed to have some privacy, they have a right to privacy. Police should get a warrant to be able to obtain information about you. And if those are violated, news articles are written, people get outraged and sometimes someone is even punished. In China, you have no right to privacy. Everyone knows the government is following their every step, every action, and they are ok with having no privacy.

    My opinion on China is also mixed. On one hand, their policies seem reasonable, they do not engage in proxy wars, support green energy, etc. On the other hand, workers have desparate lives, threaten their neighbours, restrict much more freedom of citizens …

    I know. But it is so much work to switch and I plan to replace my laptop some time in (hopefully near) future. Since I don’t have space on my disk, I would have to first determine, what files to keep, transfer them, find a OS that works with my laptop (I tried to dualboot when I got it, but there were issues with touchscreen, stylus, nvidia GPU, etc.), setup the system … It’s just too much for me right now.










  • As someone from Czech Republic, I am not surprised. There are sometimes huge differences between country names in czech and English. And the closer the country is, the bigger the difference.

    For the German speaking countries eng - ger - cze:

    • Germany - Deutschland - Německo
    • Austria - Österreich - Rakousko
    • Switzerland - Sweiz - Švýcarsko

    Other examples (eng - cze):

    • Czech - Česko
    • Slovakia - Slovensko
    • Slovenia - Slovinsko
    • Greece - Řecko
    • Georgia - Gruzie
    • Spain - Španělsko
    • Greenland - Grónsko
    • Hungary - Maďarsko
    • Croatia - Chorvatsko

  • I have to disagree. The only reason computer expanded your mind is because you were curious about it. And that is still true even with AI. Just for example, people doesn’t have to learn or solve derivations or complex equations, Wolfram Alpha can do that for them. Also, learning grammar isn’t that important with spell-checkers. Or instead of learning foreign languages you can just use automatic translators. Just like computers or internet, AI makes it easier for people, who doesn’t want to learn. But it also makes learning easier. Instead of going through blog posts, you have the information summarized in one place (although maybe incorrect). And you can even ask AI questions to better understand or debate the topic, instantly and without being ridiculed by other people for stupid questions.

    And to just annoy some people, I am programmer, but I like much more the theory then coding. So for example I refuse to remember the whole numpy library. But with AI, I do not have to, it just recommends me the right weird fuction that does the same as my own ugly code. Of course I check the code and understand every line so I can do it myself next time.
