definitely take the breaks when you need them. I've already had a few friends just get lost in the AI train of stuff and suffer mentally a bit.

That is totally false.

They have been getting replacement MiG-29s and Su-25s from allies and are starting to use f-16s from NATO nations.

"A coalition of NATO countries, primarily the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Belgium, are providing F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The United States authorized the transfer and is providing training and spare parts, with deliveries having begun in 2024 to strengthen Ukraine's air force against Russia."

So yes, they still have an airforce. They're just getting re-supplied.

Also the Ukrainian airforce was ULTRA conservative about sorties to make sure they conserved as many fighters as possible.

Remote code execution - aka they can run arbitrary code on the compromised machine via the bug.

Basically the worst possible thing.

We are 100% there already. In browser.

the webgpu model in my browser on my m4 pro macbook was as good as chatgpt 3.5 and doing 80+ tokens/s

Local is here.

That's fucking insane. Thank you for sharing.

I had a bad feeling we were basically already there.

They have variable dc power supplies on amazon on the cheap.

If you want that sort of reliability it will probably go towards 100$.

Please go try and do anything on the internet at 2G speeds in todays world.

You can barely even use FB messenger (you need to get messenger-lite).

I only know this cuz tmobile would give you free 2g all over europe. it was JUST BARELY helpful. mostly just sms and email.

google maps was unusable etc. This only got worse over the years.

They now give you free 3G and it's bearable. 2G is insanely slow in the 2020+ world.

2G ~= 5 KB/s. That means 40 seconds just to download a properly optimized react bundle.

5MB site? 16+ minutes.

thank you going to try this. I noticed my heartburn got a lot worse after having to take a few courses of antibiotics.

I hate liquid glass with a burning passion. I've never understood why people get so irritated at design changes until now.

at best it's "cover your ass security" so when you do get pwned you can say you went through an "accrediting auditor" - blah blah blah.

Agreed on everything you said. Just wish there was a more efficient way to do things :/

Same. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

I think this change is really disingenuous.

If they hide how the tool is accessing files (aka using tokens) and then charging us per token - how are we able to track loosely what our spend is?

I’m all for simplification of the UX. But when it’s helping to hide the main spend it feels shitty.

Some additional context to explain the numbers:

Game industry in general pays like shit - japanese software engineering pays even worse, so double negative modifiers on salaries in this comparison.

source: worked in games, worked at japanese tech company with us division.

Swagger is critical. The graphql schema.json is very very good at helping ai's figure out how to use the service. Swagger evens that advantage.

It helps to not look at this as zero sum.

A lot of people are more comfortable with a shared experience objective. This provides a means to do something and a reason behind meeting.

If you are always in the mindset that you are giving and everyone else is taking that can really impact how you perceive everyone. And 9/10 most people over estimate how much they give and under-estimate how much they take.

There is also something powerful with "I _get_ to take my new friend to a place I find cool" rather than "My new friend is using me to go to my cool place". Changing the way you internally frame things drastically helps.

I know it sounds absolutely stupid hogwash but it helps.

I hope this helps!

It’s hard for some people to understand that situation until they are in it. Unfortunately.

Totally agree with you.

It's always about the oil.

Venezuela has a substantial amount of heavy crude oil. which the USA is good at refining. Shocking.

they probably deem it as not important. "Context is all you need to tell the difference, keep the font clean"

I also SUPER LOVE this feature. Especially when you make a type union of the keys for easier indexing.

I think they also used their metrics to figure out people liked kevin spacey (whoops) - and created house of cards - which catapulted netflix's production side.

I think graphQL as a byproduct of some serious shenanigans.

"Your GraphQL HTTP server must handle the HTTP POST method for query and mutation operations, and may also accept the GET method for query operations."

Supporting body in the get request was an odd requirement for something I had to code up with another engineer.

more the fault of MB of ram and HDDs being quite slow to be honest.

tip of the iceberg.

I have the exact same reason I enjoy typescript - raw dogging js before was an absolute nightmare of testing every single function for every possible value that might be thrown in and being able to handle shit data everywhere.

god-awful code.

I think it's difficult to just call things "self control" when there have been entire college majors / studies / casinos dedicated to tricking us into making the choices they want.

Look at the Apple price ladder on ipads. Look at any tactic by a casino - go to Reno and see many retires at the beginning of the month drop their whole social security check in the casino. Look at why they label things $9.99 instead of $10.00 Look at why they put all the overpriced candy at the cash register in a super market. Look at how they create junk food to be "perfect" and addictive source: https://archive.globalpolicy.org/world-hunger/trade-and-food... I have a lot of friends that stopped playing gacha games because they would come home drunk - the game would incentivize you to login - and then blow more money than they truly wanted to.

At some level it's unfair to say we should just "have self control" when you have entire academic institutions and entire industries figuring out how to get you to "crack" and make a bad decision that favors their pocket book.

So yeah - I agree - we need more self control - but it's being purposefully assaulted every second of our day by EVERYTHING.

the same exact problems we had with Taxis. Sigh.

They have a cancellation rate metric on their end that they are trying to avoid.

I have similar problems when I dated someone across the bridge.

They also lose a ton of money leaving SF at prime time / etc.

Most of them are used as cargo planes. Which have dramatically lower usage rates than passenger planes (and they are retired passenger planes)

Sucks for the pilots flying them for sure tho.

thanks for the immich suggestion.

How have you liked Obsidian? I was going to use it but realized it pay walled sharing notes between devices. Looking into this again - are you self hosting Obsidian via LiveSync plugin?

Thanks!

USA was providing Ukrainian operatives Russian officer locations via soldier's using their cellphones
