Anthropic CEO prediction:
2026 - 90% code is written by Al
2027 - 100% code is written by Al

My prediction:
2026 - 90% code is written by Al
2027 - 100% code is written by Al
2028 - 10% code is written by Al, Senior SWEs paid 10x of today to clean up the Al-written code mess.

That little article is incredibly dense with accurate observation -- incredible.

Hungary <---> Ireland comparison? Check.

Moreover, he's 100% right about Szechenyi -- Szechenyi had heard about the Austrian plan to linguistically germanize the Hungarians like the English had anglicized the Irish -- and it spurred his nationalism.

And yes, we then collaborated with the Austrians to keep other ethnic minorities in the AH Empire down.

Sorry-not-sorry. :P

Are we supposed to just forget that millions of Hungarians live in our neighboring countries or what?

TRIANON IS ON THIS LIST. AMAZING.

ALL politicians down to local councils should be made to answer a series of obscure foreign policy questions. There is a correct answer to each of these questions and any aspiring candidate who answers even one question incorrectly should be banned from holding political office

You're either a bot or pretending to be ignorant --

Ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia are still missing rights such as:

• Full Hungarian-language education beyond primary school (Ukrainian becomes dominant from grade 5)
• Official use of Hungarian in local administration, courts, healthcare & signage
• Protection of Hungarian schools, symbols & cultural institutions
• Broader political & cultural autonomy in Hungarian areas

As you know, these were restricted by Ukraine’s 2017–2019 language & education laws.

@Kapka73 @EV_Trapper okay anon bot

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@Kapka73 @EV_Trapper If you think that the rest of the EU isn't corrupt....

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@Kapka73 @EV_Trapper You're right -- I mean, it has only been &gt;&gt;checks notes&lt;&lt; a major point of contention and ill-will between Hungary and Ukraine for decades.

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@BIforPeace @EV_Trapper Best thing about Ukraine is their absolute famous tolerance for ethnic minorities -- which somehow, resembles that of Russia.

Russians: "Ukrainians aren't a real people. They're just Russians."

Ukrainians: "Rusyns aren't a real people. They're just Ukrainians."

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@EV_Trapper Why not?

If Ukraine wants to be an EU member -- should it not converge to EU norms?

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@EV_Trapper In modern Hungary, historical ethnic minorities like Germans, Slovaks, Serbs etc etc enjoy benefits that Ukraine has historically denied its Hungarian minority - so what are you blathering on about?

California surf spots are subject to water temps from two countervailing factors.

The cold southbound Alaska "California" current generally wins, while the warmer northbound Mexican influence is only strong enough to noticeably soften conditions in Southern California.

Central California ie SB and north are more like NorCal than SoCal in terms of need to wear 4/3 wetsuits.

Every Anthropic account executive is going to become a VC. They’ll intro themselves by saying they helped scale Anthropic’s GTM motion. They’re going to pass on your startup but they’ll cheer you on from the sidelines.

I looked into getting an old Nokia candybar phone from the halycon days of the late 90s and early 2000s -- I think I need to actually execute on that plan now.

[Nathan Covey @nathan_covey]

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

I guess I speak an S and F tier language.

[Anatoly Karlin 🧲💯 @akarlin]

My tier list of languages by how useful they are.

Yes, there is nothing in A tier. English is just that goated. Chinese would be in A tier if it was less difficult.

@romanhelmetguy Which edition of The Odyssey do you recommend for a first-time reader (high schooler)?

[Patrick Vlaskovits @Pv]

@bollobas Agreed -- trad Hungarian foods are becoming less and less cool --

I just got back from a month in Hungary. A few observations on globalization in Hungary (and Europe).

The most surprising thing?

1. Service at restaurants and shops has gotten shockingly better—even compared to five years ago. It’s not subtle. It’s a full cultural shift.

7. Orban’s courting of Chinese investment is starting to reshape Budapest.

My sense is that the III District will become Budapest's Irvine.

Hungarians are very conflicted about this.
