Many job openings are just a way for recruiting to harvest resumes, or to give the impression there's some growth going on, or to conceal the actual open headcounts for teams. Ghost jobs.

This impacts vulnerable people looking for jobs and makes job search highly inefficient.

A good game. Possibly the 2048 of 2026.

Europe is not the military power that once was at the beginning of the 20th century... aging populations, economic decline, trade deficits, their former colonies are now independent, they haven't waged war in a while.

Seems extremely telling that you would phrase things that way.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, a European power could prevail in India, China, Japan, etc.

And in the 21st century? not so much. It is a different world now.

Europe is powerful but the Royal Navy couldn't go today to Hong Kong and seize control of it for example.

And military power influences diplomacy.

> And military power influences diplomacy.

Negatively. That has always been the problem of the US, it's the reason why they cannot act like the most of the rest of the world. The military has way too much influence on decision making.

Just watch one of the sessions of the UN general assembly. There are many speeches about fixing all kinds of situations. If the best ideas were implemented we would be in a utopia with flying cars, free ponies for everyone and open bar. But we don't live in such world because if one motion somehow makes one of the countries with veto power uncomfortable, they will just veto the resolution and that's the end of it. And countries with veto power are backed by military power. That's the world we live in and it has always been like that.

And things work like this at every level in every organization. For example people in your line of reporting at work can veto any decision you make unless you are protected by law, which is an entity that can shut down your company by force.

That’s just the reality of it. The GDP of Russia and Canada is about the same but nobody cares about Canada from a geopolitical context because it has an irrelevant military.

I played this piano and it reminded me of Twilight Zone (1959).

Maybe we just need to make cyanobacteria that multiplies faster.

Then the vibe coder will ask an LLM to answer questions about the contribution.

I don't know how it is for you, but I find it rather easy to tell when someone doesn't actually understand what they're talking about.

At least that's much better than not being able to answer them. If LLMs are truly intelligent enough to justify their contributions (including copyrights!), why should we treat them differently from human contributions?

That would also include humans not taking credit for AI's work.

Not your keys, not your coins.

I think this is a case of "your keys, not your coins".

If you like this then you will probably like "The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage", a 1989 book by Clifford Stoll.
