  • It doesn't do anything for me. It's good for simple code that I could've written myself in the time it takes me to make sure that what it generates is what I needed.

  • The US led on nuclear fusion for decades. Now China is in position to win the race
  • This is optimistic and I hope they succeed, because every time I read an article about nuclear fusion it's always 5 to 10 years away, and I feel like I've been reading articles about nuclear fusion for the better part of 2 decades.

  • Japan faces labor shortages and demographic crisis as elderly population hits record high
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Japan

    Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that Japanese immigration laws, at least toward high-skilled migrants, are relatively lenient compared to other developed countries, and that the main factor behind its low migrant inflows is because it is a highly unattractive migrant destination compared to other developed countries.

    Yet in spite of this, the number of foreign residents in Japan in recent years is very high.

  • Japan faces labor shortages and demographic crisis as elderly population hits record high
  • From the article itself:

    However, the number of foreign workers in Japan reached a record high of 2,048,675 in 2023. This represents an increase of 225,950 over the past year, and is the first time that the figure has exceeded 2 million.

    These foreigners benefit from visa systems introduced in recent years to attract experienced workers or those in need of training. Created in 2019, the status of "specified skilled worker" is accessible to people with skills in one of 12 defined economic sectors, including health, construction and agriculture.

    In 2023, the "Highly skilled professional" visa (J-Skip) was created, aimed at researchers or senior executives whose annual salary exceeds 20 million yen (€121,000); as was the "Future creation individual" visa (J-Find), which enables graduates of 104 top universities – including France's Paris-Saclay and Sorbonne Université – to obtain a long-term visa if they want to start a business or find a job.

    This doesn't sound low skilled to me. Also, the record high number of foreign workers surely means that they are, in fact, increasing immigration?

  • their insistence on allowing Japanese businesses to attempt to apply Japanese laws in jurisdictions and countries that the laws do not and can not apply

    How is this the Japanese government's responsibility? They aren't enforcing those laws in countries they don't have jurisdiction, are they? Or do you mean the average person in Japan?

  • A single play session isn't actually all that long, as others have said. It's about 25-50 minutes depending on how familiar you are with the monster. You also don't have to interact with all the systems at once initially, pick one thing and try it out. There's no real penalty for failing besides having to re-do the mission that you failed.
