djif··on From Interfaces to Intelligence: Where Agentic AI Shines
#AgenticAI is one of the most exciting shifts in software we’ve seen in a long time.

But its real power isn’t “autonomy everywhere”. It’s knowing where to apply it.

I wrote a short piece on how I think about , framing it as a spectrum: from flexible interfaces, to adaptive orchestration, to open-ended reasoning.

Used intentionally, agents unlock things that were previously impractical or even impossible to build. Used indiscriminately, they can add complexity where simplicity would win.

What do you think?

djif··on Macedonia changes name, ending bitter dispute with Greece
I can see you can't really understand what a nationalist means despite one representative source I cited with regards to Mikis Theodorakis. I won't mock you for that -as you did- however to make my point easier for you here is a hint: M. Theodorakis has been a communist all his life and was imprisoned during the Greek dictatorship (Junta) in 1967-74. Junta is the 'dream' of Greek nationalists (see Golden Dawn). I think that'd be helpful

Greece didn't claim anything. Macedonia has been a Greek region for thousands of years. The so-called 'macdonia' state and the whole naming dispute emerged out of nowhere after WWII.

"On the other hand things like historical references(Macedonia) are up for grabs by anyone and they even attract supporters of the type "self naming is a right".."

absolutely agree... unfortunately common sense is extinct nowadays

And before you speak again about nationalists, etc read a bit about Mikis Theodorakis who was the main speaker addressing the crowd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikis_Theodorakis

"...ending...": in fact, it has just begun.. There's a long way until this 'agreement' becomes a 'reality' (referendum and constitutional changes in FYROM and then vote in both parliaments). But most importantly the will of the people has been ignored so only the near future will show what will actually happen.

> I guess you could say the same about Macedonia and maybe some middle eastern areas if we're looking purely at past greatness, but those two seem to be easier to explain. Greece's impact was more wider, longer, and stronger.

Just a correction - Macedonia was (and is) part of Greece: https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/6265/was-alexand...
