Funnily enough, the wikipedia page for conservative liberalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_liberalism) lists Fidesz as the prime and only example of Hungarian conservative liberal parties.

I’m hoping that belarussians get the courage they need from this and finally revolt against their shit of a ruler.

his ideology is more or less identical to Orban’s

Fidesz (Orban):

• Ideology: Christian Nationalism, Illiberalism, Authoritarianism, National Conservatism, Right-wing Populism
• Political position: Far-right

Tisza (Magyar):

• Ideology: Conservative Liberalism, Populism, Pro-Europeanism
• Political position: Centre to centre-right

I’ve heard this angle before, but these parties don’t seem to be in any way identical.

In the back of my head, I’m slightly worried when a European country has a party that has more than 50% of the seats. We’re supposed to not be two-party systems.

But on every other part of my head, this feels great. Good stuff, hungarians! I wish I had free money to invest into Hungary. Seems like a safe bet right now.

Maybe the only piece you’re missing is that “almost right, but critically broken in subtle ways”

Sure, but you have to note that it reaches that point in minutes. Sometimes on a task that would take humans a week. The power is not that it creates correct stuff, it’s that it creates almost correct stuff 100 times faster than human. Plus the typical machine benefits: it never gets tired, demotivated, etc.

So then the challenge becomes being able to be that human, who can review stuff extremely well and rapidly, being natural in probing the stuff LLMs tend to be wrong about. Sort of like the same challenge that every tech lead had before LLMs too, but just subtly different, because LLMs don’t exactly think like we do.

Could be our team composition that’s the magic sauce: we’re 4 seniors with 20+ years of experience from software development each and just one who’s more like a junior. We could be doing this like artisans of pre-2025 but we’re in a bit of a hurry, being a startup. Also, using AI seems to give us quite a bit more free time.

Remains to be seen, I guess, whether it’s garbage we’re producing. But we have completed in 6 months what I would have assumed would’ve taken 2 years and a bigger team.

I’m absolutely fine with moving 10 times faster than others I was moving before, and people thinking they’re doing better than me at the same time. So I’m not complaining.

I could be wrong, but everything I see in my own worklife suggests that I’m not. The performance increase is immense. I genuinely cannot understand why the results seem to disagree with this. I’ve always been a bit ahead of the curve, so perhaps that’s the reason now as well.

They absolutely save you wall-time, huge amounts of it. At least if you’re competent.

France is being pretty cool. I wish we had des couilles in Finland.

Well, at least we generated Linux itself somehow and then completely failed to keep it here. I still remember how little adoption there was at the start, and how almost everyone who was using Linux back then was regarded as some sort of an idiot savant.

I mean I was an idiot savant, but not because I was using Linux.

Spain had actual fascists in power as far as in 1975. So kinda like how most eastern bloc countries fucking hate communism and thus many forms of socialism too, I guess many spaniards still personally hate fascism.

Also Hitler called Austrians German before annexing them.

Putin hasn’t hurt Nato’s credibility at all. More like strengthened it relative to Russia’s credibility.

edit Unless we count Trump of course.

I agree. USA failed.

NATO is not an offensive pact. And even if it fucking were a fucking offensive pact, if you want your allies to join in your fucking military campaign, you fucking ask for them to do it, before you fucking do it. Fuck.

They are being careful. They’re just so much more agile than you.

That went well.

Why have a CEO at all? An AI could easily post edgy comment into social media every day.

Russia take notes.

Trump fixes the climate change problem.

My problem is that as I grow older and older, I find it harder and harder to be arsed to write any code. LLM fixes that problem beautifully. I have 20+ years experience so it kinda works. If you don’t have it might not, at the current moment.
