Monica has the last laugh it seems

Getting rid if dictators is good, actually.

When I need 1% of library's functionality, I can use AI to generate me a good enough replacement that does not require shipping any vendor code.

Will it be potentially more fragile and less featured? Sure, but it also will not bring in a thousand packages of dependencies.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree.

Current dependency hell that is modern development, just how wide the openings are for supply chain attacks and seemingly every other week we get a new RCE.

I'd rather 100 loosely coupled scripts peer reviewed by a half a dozen of LLM agents.

So cute (I am running a DNS adblock only, on the work browser)

It actually is pretty bad, the person might read it and appreciate, only to realize moments later that it was a thoughtless machine sending him the letter rather than a real human being, which then robs them of the feeling and leaves in a worse spot than before reading the letter

As much as I am optimistic about LLM's, reaction here is absolutely level headed and warranted for the "project" at hand.

>4 years is going to be a long time to underfund what's basically 4 entire classes of researchers coming out of Doctorate programs. It might take decades to recover our research programs.

It's very optimistic to think that this madness is going to end in four years.

The idiocracy is a global trend

I don't disagree? Merkel and Obama both.

Fuck the eu in that context, EU showed weakness, it got us war.

We are discussing 2014. Russian armed forces were present there from the get-go, and hybrid approaches were there long before 2014 too.

>"an architect of the Ukraine crisis".

Architect of the Ukraine crisis is Russian armed forces crossing the border and occupying the land, everything else is irrelevant.

This is not Russia Today.

My argument is not that said evaporation would make any sort of measurable improvement for Iran water situation, it is that it would not make it worse. I agree that there are local problems with water access, but that is a local concern, not a blank "AI/Datacentres bad" as it is being pushed right now.

I am not being overly pedantic, I am merely pointing out the obvious fact that datacentres have +- 0 bearing on water problems in Iran, and even bringing them up in this conversation while ignoring corn or beef is ignorant at best and malicious at worst.

Sorry, I don't always check responses.

I checked and it was a mixup, I assumed you were the original poster(tw04).

I stand corrected.

If I asserted that datacentres dont consume clean water, then that would be incorrect, but I did not, I said water.

Water is evaporated and not consumed.

Also, I hope you apply same standard and scrutiny to the water impact of the food you consume.

So? If anything, evaporated water could lead to more rainfall in Iran, not less.

Clean water use for data center use has literally zero impact on water situation in Iran.

Datacentres don't consume water.

Something small that has been on my mind for the past decade or so -- assistant chatbot.

Basically I long wanted to plug a chatbot into my messenger of choice with all sorts of tools for quick use, of course after the emergence of LLMs it was only a matter of time before I find time for it.

As an experiment I have decided to use Claude code + opencode to develop it, and after some trial and error I am very thoroughly impressed with the results, it grew to a nearly 10k LOC in a week and it is still very much manageable, I haven't changed a single line of code manually still.

I have developed it as a "core" that imports modules with a rigid and thoroughly documented in a spec.MD file interface, and every single bit of functionality essentially acts as a different sub-app that can consume events that trigger it and handle all of the internal logic within itself, that way everything is separated nicely and totally manageable within LLM context.

It does everything from setting up and sending reminders and todo lists, helping me track car mileage and fuel consumption, getting an overview of the day ahead(sometimes if task is important even a reminder few days prior to its date), to even opening my front gate. And all of that is exposed to 'core' chat module through tool calls, so I can request anything in plain English or voice.

Also has a web-ui where I can review tasks, reminders, settings or search past conversations.

Been using it a lot, and since I'm using groq for inference, I still haven't even needed to pay a thing, since it fits within the free limits

if the on-ramp to the cold wallet was cash then what good is that transparency.

For the most part, code monkeys haven't been a thing for quite some time now, I'm sure talented people will adapt and find other avenues to flourish

Depending on crypto, and even on public ledger ones, there are ways to on-ramp cash to a new cold wallet.

>Unless you've worked everyday with the same language

...I did.

It is very hard to explain the extent of it to a person who did not experience it, really.

I have over a decade of experience, I do this stuff daily, I don't think I can write a 10 line bash/python/js script without looking up the docs at least a couple times.

I understand exactly what I need to write, but exact form eludes my brain, so this Levenshtein-distance-on-drugs machine that can parse my rambling + surrounding context into valid syntax for what I need right at that time is invaluable and I would even go as far as saying life changing.

I understand and hold high level concepts alright, I know where stuff is in my codebase, I understand how it all works down to very low levels, but the minutea of development is very hard due to how my memory works (and has always worked).

Notetaking with ADHD is another sort of hell to be honest.

I absolutely can attest to what parent is saying, I have been developing software in Python for nearly a decade now and I still routinely look up the /basics/.

LLM's have been a complete gamechanger to me, being able to reduce the friction of "ok let me google what I need in a very roundabout way my memory spit it out" to a fast and often inline llm lookup.

The distinction is /civilians/.

You make an assumption that of the 4000 people wounded /all/ were civilians, which is odd, considering that explosive was in a device given out to Hezbollah members.

>I didn't say 42 targets.

You quite literally did.

>1. We really have no realistic threat on our borders. Russia can't even cope with Ukraine alone in conventional warfare. Who do we have to defend from? And there are way bigger militaries than Ukraine in EU alone, let alone as a coalition, such as Poland.

Reality of the situation is that in 2025 Ukraine IS the most combat ready army in Europe, and by far.

Russian army of 2025 is not the same as it was in 2022 too. It takes over a month to transfer military equipment across Europe /even without war going on/, we are SEVERELY unprepared.

Incredible goal post move
