Just got back from a vacation in Poland.
Second time I've been there, great country!
My girlfriend is from Poland (this was my first time with her) so I guess I'll be going more often.
We were staying in Krakow, which is a beautiful city, or at least the city center is.
Been to Auschwitz and it's even worse than what you see on TV 
Salt mine Wieliczka was very impressive as well (but not in a maximum killing capacity kind of way).
We also went to Energylandia, great if you like roller coasters, which I do!
From my previous visit I can also recommend Malbork, largest castle in the world.
The "in-laws" are nice too, even though I can't really talk to them.
Can see myself going back again

Been there. Very very nice, indeed.

So now you will have to learn Polish? 
Glad you had a good time.

Reality is often way way harsher that what normal people would be able to handle.
I love watching documentaries and I couldn't make myself watch the one on an infamous crime that happened in Delhi on 16th of Dec 2012.

And sadly the Quote of Einstein about human idiocy and universe, can be applied here as well.

Were you gone? 
It sounds like you had a good holiday.

My surname ends "ski" and I almost speak the language but w/ a good accent and it seems I am the only one not to have visited the homeland of my forebearers. Na razie do widzenia.

Isn't it interesting how, knowing what happened there, merely being at that same location can convey so much more than actual images of the actual atrocities that took place.
Sadly I know people who know nothing about and have no interest in history, even as recent as this is, and wouldn't "appreciate" being there (and I know that's not the right word I should be using there, but I'm coming up blank right now). As they say, people who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. You have to worry about these people.

People that willingly deny it are even worse than people that do not know about it.

You know, that didn't even cross my mind when I wrote my response, and that is an even scarier reality. Points for bringing it up.

Being so shy (or at least I remember you telling it, might be wrong though) and being so busy... congratulations

I went to Terezin - Czech republic - sat in front to the oven and cried...
Wast majority of today's' folks forgot what WWII was about - destruction of "inferior races".
Unfortunately , if I continue it will get political...so let's stick our heads in
the sand and pretend all is well.

But I can't be arsed to learn it.
I do have an idea though - using an LLM to do code synthesis.
Code synthesis is similar to code generation, but unlike code generation code created via code synthesis looks as though it was written by a human being.
This is particularly important for things like parser generators, where generated code tends to be rigid. For example - a generated LL(1) parser always matches greedy while a hand rolled recursive descent parser will switch between greedy and lazy consumption as the situation calls for it. The end result is more compact and more efficient.
I don't recommend using parser generators because of the code they produce - unless you like source files in the hundreds of thousands of kilobytes or even megabytes. Code synthesis stands a good chance of changing that.
Things like Github Copilot can produce code. Code synthesis seems like this functionality.
