From one perspective, but for EU workers, if we spend that money here, it creates jobs here.
I’m seeing defence startups get funded left and right, in some professions, they are the only ones hiring right now.
Could we spend that money better? Maybe. But it’s still marginally better to spend my taxes this way, and also the Russians have threatened to nuke my home twice, so it gives me some peace of mind that we have some more deterrence.
The sticks were digitally driven for quite a while as well. Managed to short circuit a 2004 VW Passat’s electronics, the sticks started to point in random directions all over the place while the car was in motion. And I don’t mean shaking, just going to a random value and settling on it every 1.5 seconds.
Was very spooky.
Still better than giving it to the US MIC
Job creation at its finest
He was in government for 20 (16+4 before) and stole for longer than that.
SPAs were a mistake.
I actually did an experiment on doing just that. For context, I’m an experienced software engineer, whose company buys him a tom of Claude usage so I had time to test out what it can actually do and I feel like I’m capable of judging where it’s good and where it falls short at.
How Claude Code works is that there are actually multiple models involved, one for doign the coding, one “reasoning” model to keep the chain of thought and the context going, and a bunch of small specialized ones for odd jobs around the thing.
The thing that doesn’t work yet is that the big reasoning model has to still be big, otherwise it will hallucinate frequently enough to break the workflow. If you could get one of the big models to run locally, you’d be there. However, with recent advances in quantization and MoE models, it’s actually getting nearer fast enough that I would expect it to be generally available in a year or two.
Today the best I could do was a tool that could take 150 gigs of RAM, 24 gigs of VRAM and AMD’s top of the line card to take 30 minutes what takes Claude Code 1-2. But surprisingly, the output of the model was not bad at all.
Putin gives zero fucks about Iranian children, he was perfectly fine killing Russian civilians to get into power.
Shaheds on the other hand…
Not Cyrillic, it says “és a szapora szobanövény"
Standard TLS, I think, but what else would you need?
They can ban payments from the EU to Pornhub
Not the entire supply, just enough to affect prices. Basically the stock market but without even the appearance of it not being manipulated to hell.
And it’s not Russia, or not just them, anyone with enough money to play can fuck people with sub-8 figure net worths over.
But that increases the money supply. This way they can take money from other people. For example Russia can get USD without printing and inflating RUB.
To make money
You buy enough to raise the price, announce that you’re buying it, schmucks try to get in on the wave, you dump while tweeting diamond hands.
Repeat.
In Nginx you can do rewrites so services think they are at the root.
The supply of an asset is the volume of that asset available for purchase.
If I buy all of that, supply becomes zero.
You misunderstand, if I own the GDP of a world power, what’s preventing me from buying a ton of Bitcoin and fucking with the supply that way?
Crypto nowadays looks like a pump and dump free for all.
That’s not what I said
