You must not be a very good security engineer because you disregard windows as an os and don't know about the symlink requirements there.

Maybe you can link your PRs where you fixed the system.

Or maybe you are just another brainwashed person who decided to follow the flock/horde, because OS'es are not about emotions, but about getting stuff done. If you feel emotional about the tool, I have bad news for you, and good news for your future therapist.

There is a very valid reason on Windows not to allow people to do 'ln -s' without an admin.

WSL also has a huge perf hit when you cross FS boundary, but perhaps you have never experienced it, because you said, "Ah, right. Windows..."

But at least you've heard about WSL!

Symlink requires admin, and most people do not run CC as admin with bypass permissions though.

Sounds like you've read the deepseek harness paper.

On the other hand, if Anthropic is to follow the industry standards, this would never have happened in the first place. It's not like the feature gates are the frontier of software development.

It's funny because you pretend to know something but unwilling to provide any proofs for your claims.

I believe you are one of your so called vibe-coders. Who just think they know something but in fact they have an inflated ego.

That will pass with time, once you get more experience around people, I hope. Or now, and then you'll become one of those edgy bullshitters.

And I'm so sorry that I'm allegedly distilling openai and claude models for the sake of deepseek in china, while being an US citizen. You must be feeling very butthurt about it. And that's what keeps my night sleep sound. I wish I could taste your tears.

DS has perf issues if you parallelize it heavily (24+), especially when the context window is above the limit, on a single machine (with custom llm gateway): it fails 4x more often, and is 2x slower than gpt-5.6.

"If you think that all instances of using AI to write code is vibe coding"

Your comment from 4 days ago: "Vibe coders like you who don't even understand basic fundamentals are pretty infuriating"

How about you provide citations first?

We've seen so many charities in Ukraine stealing money. And Ukraine itself is a haven of corruption.

If you don't see how you are affected by propaganda, maybe zoom out. You clearly become emotional when someone online challenges your viewpoint.

d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Ah, a personal attack again. "Vibe coders like you". I'm pretty sure I have at least two decades more of experience in the field than you have though.

Talking about basic fundamentals yet not understanding how LLMs work, that is very rich coming from you.

Go back to your subreddit bubble. Maybe you can vide code something useful at this point.

d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Holy moly. How did you arrive to that conclusion? Why do you think openai and anthropic train their models to generate scripts instead of tool calls now? Maybe you work there, or maybe not good enough?

Calling scripts wins long term. Maybe you haven't had a chance to work with agents for months on the same task and observing them getting looped. That is your ignorance talking.

Why am I even discussing it with people who don't understand basic costs of time and money, ffs.

d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
They do reuse scripts, though. Maybe it's you who is too lazy to _comprehend_ the output?

Or, maybe your prompts are not good enough. And it's not my problem to fix, as you claim you are very experienced.

d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Then why did you comment what you commented, good sir/madam. Claude and Codex are good at remembering to use scripts instead of tools these days, especially if your <32kb .md file mentions it. Not even talking about the skills designed to catch such issues.
d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Oh, I'm so sorry I touched your paper feelings.

How dared I to imply that some LLM output is more deterministic than the other, your LLM majesty. Shame on me and my entire family! For generations to come!

So sorry I implied that the code that doesn't work and has to be fixed later is deterministic in its execution and can be reused later instead of being re-generated from scratch!

Will I ever wash it off my name, your grace?

d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Why do you think your agents prefer to create scripts instead of doing tool calls these days?

I wonder, is it easier to modify a script that agent wrote before to satisfy your prompt, or is it easier to write a new one from scratch each time a retry happens?

Are input tokens more expensive than output tokens?

d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Why don't you try to dispove me. Yes, they are _more_ deterministic than tool calls and consume less tokens.
d5lt5··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Sounds like you don't have enough experience with coding agents. Deterministic scripts must always be preferred instead of LLM tool calls. In fact, you should instruct your agents to write code to execute instead of letting them call tools.

It's rich coming from a person affected by ukrainian propaganda that is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. Maybe you should back your opinion with facts. Citation is desperately needed.

US had all of that and still was unable to do anything meaningful around Hormuz.

US had 10,000 miles of power projection, while China prepared for 100 miles of it for the past 20 years, come on. The answer is EUV alternative that would render TSMC useless.

I understand that majority of people here cannot see the bigger picture, by design.

> How dare the countries threatened by Russia, who had seen how Russia invaded and brutalised multiple countries - Moldova, Checnya, Georgia twice - seek protection from Russia. This totally excuses Russia invading and brutalising again, of course.

That's literally a copy-paste from propaganda pamphlet. Can you back it up?

> The country was literally invaded

You seem to forget the amount of killings Ukraine did there and why it started in the first place.

Why should I discuss that with a person who seems to be unaware of facts?

> Russia didn't need to invade Ukraine either.

Arguable, they had to after the 2008 Buharest NATO summit and Ukraine's militarization going forward, and eradication of Russian language and Russian-speaking population in the east.

> Which would be considered an act of war, so it's the same scenario again.

China considers Taiwan their territory, who is there to protect Taiwan? US?

>20% is more than the % of people in the Donbass that wanted unification with Russia

20% plus part of those white-collar workers who are a backbone of the Taiwan's economy and politics and can be left jobless after China achieves EUV and puts TSMC out of monopoly.

Let's be real. Trump demanded TSMC to invest 100B into US factories and they complied [0].

Maybe you are? Because so far, I backed up my opinion about China vs Taiwan with facts. And you backed up yours with wishes.

> Because there is change coming to the US and the next president isn't likely to be such a complete moron.

All past elections prove you otherwise.

> All your points consider what China can do but not how others would respond.

US backed off last year when there were talks about protecting Taiwan. They pulled Patriot missiles from Taiwan and South Korea too.

China and Japan have a beef. Considering the atrocities Japan did in China, the conversation won't be friendly.

None of these are good for Taiwan, during the times when its political system is failing.

> No where near close. At least not production grade at massive scale.

It looks like you have knowledge of the status of that super-secret government project. Can you share some details then?

> Doesn't work. If they do that the US, JP and others can also blockade around Shanghai, Hong Kong and the other ports.

US cannot blockade Hormuz, as we've seen. JP cannot do that with their current constitution unless they change it (the current government is on the road to it, though).

What we've also seen is that Chinese fishing fleet had a military blockade exercise [0].

> Taiwan is not just TSMC. There are thousands to millions of things involving Taiwan you're likely not aware of and they might not even be AI or semi related.

All is around semiconductors.

Not everyone is affected by propaganda, either US/Taiwanese or Chinese one.

Some are.

Some people also want to feed their families and not be unemployed.

P.S. A large number of Ukrainians moved to Russia. Including the ones who wanted to reunite with their relatives. Taiwanese have a lot of relatives on the mainland as well.

> I've lived in Taiwan for a large part of my life.

Sounds like you've been fed the US anti-China propaganda for the large part of your life as well.

_China doesn't need to invade Taiwan_

1. 50%+ of Taiwan's workforce are white-collar workers [0].

2. There are 3-4 major underwater internet communication hubs in Taiwan [1].

3. There is a substantial opposition in Taiwan that want reunification (~20% of population support directly Li-Wun) [2].

4. China is close to producing industry-grade EUV [3].

China just can:

* Establish a total naval and air blockade of Taiwan using their fleets stationed in Ningbo and Zhanjiang.

* Cut underwater internet cables in those 3 locations.

* Achieve EUV.

They won't need TSMC soon, and with the blockade they can show the world that TSMC is not a reliable supplier.

Within months the political structure of Taiwan is going to crumble, as white-collar workers lose their jobs.
