Have you not used commercial LLMs to generate program source code? You describe it as if it's an almost unsolvable problem which might have been reasonable 2 years ago but I just used gpt-5 to generate a complete NextJS application for flashcards.

I've literally been employing nondeterministic content generation based on statistical relevance defined by an unknown training data, to repeatably produce content satisfying a strict mathematical model for months now.

I'm pretty sure there're thousands of blog posts and books describing creation of a complete flashcards application in all popular programming languages and on all popular frameworks.

Thankfully, people living on the east are completely immune to ethnic stereotypization and propaganda, like you clearly demonstrate. They even get to have their own opinions. Oh the wonders of geography and lineage.

LOL. Have you ever read what Ukrainians said in the last 35 years? Not some pretty recital from CNN, ABC, BBC, DW, but actual words said and written by actual Ukrainians?

Or, for that matter, have you ever read Reddit? I'm 100% sure that if I open any subreddit like /r/politics, in the first 10 posts there will be something like "burn all Russians", "we must nuke Russia", "Russian are subhumans and they must be eliminated from Earth". Such phrases are so pervading there that I stopped visiting reddit even for reading technical subreddits. BTW, Reddit moderators never ban users for calling to kill Russians (also, in 2022 Meta openly said it is ok to say such things openly, just to note that nazism is welcome in the West, or to be precise, it never went away and it wasn't an invention of Hitler).

Can you tell a Russian from Ukrainian? Can you even tell an Ukrainian name from Russian name?

I am confused by this, isn't Bisect just some git ergonomics with respect to flagging a checked out commit as a success failure and then checking out the next midway commit depending of if it was a success/failure to enable classic binary search?

It might be slightly more tedious but couldn't you just do the same thing manually and it would add just a couple minutes to the search and you would still save weeks? I like the ergonomics but only use it once every couple years.

Agree, probably could be done in any other VCS as well, including CVS. But only possible if you actually use VCS and use it properly.

Can't be that bad of an idea, right?

It's good for the US, where it will have absolute hegemony. Bad for all the other countries that will be too small to defend their own interests. Also this scheme will inevitably start hundreds of new wars all around the world. Again, good for US, bad for everyone else.

Reason I like git is because I use like 2% of its features. I don't fall for propaganda that I need to use bisect and co. 99% of git commands I call are aliased to 3 characters, so it's dense terminology doesn't bother me.

anticodon · a month ago

I used bisect once in my life but it was extremely helpful. Without it I'd spend weeks trying to find regression. With bisect I found and fixed it in under 1 hour.

It's a command that is needed rarely but there's no replacement for it in some situations.

Yup, as they say, get divided and prosper. Hmm...

anticodon · a month ago

That's what US is openly planning against all other countries in the world. Divide every country into dozens tiny "independent" countries with puppet "democratic" governments obliging every decision from USA.

There are maps of this new world regularly published by US think tanks.

Nothing appoints the dollar a reserve currency, it's use makes master. It's 50% of reserve worldwide, the Euro is 20% and a range of currency follows.

It can change. Breton Woods isn't physics, its a social construct.

> Nothing appoints the dollar a reserve currency, it's use makes master.

Hundreds of US military bases around the world makes sure that no "stupid" leader of some nation makes a decision to switch from US dollar for international trade.

Those who dared to attempt to give up USD for trade, died horrible death like Muammar Gaddafi. It's a direct message to the remaining leaders: "Don't even think about it"

> They work for countries that kneecap themselves by being at the whims of capital and the market.

Typically it actually looks like the opposite. When I look at, eg, North Korea or Iran - if I were going to try and make them wealthy it is mostly internal policies that are the problem and not external ones.

If North Korea set itself up with single digit % company and income tax combined with a strong rule of law, local education programs and a liberal economy it would barely matter what sanctions were imposed on them. A tide of money would flow in and they'd eventually be wealthy under their own power anyway if not. Although it isn't obvious why anyone would sanction a small well run country; there is a correlation between sanctions and incompetent governance.

anticodon · 2 months ago

Most of the sanctions are whac-a-mole game played by the West (mostly by USA): as soon as one of the peripheral countries starts developing its economy, gains more wealth, starts to produce something the competes with products of Western companies, or attempts to avoid use of USD (because it allows immense enrichment of USA simply by printing it in whatever quantities), soon there starts:

- firstly, media attack ("they're dictatorship!", "they're genociding someone", etc), preparing population for stricter measures

- secondly, color revolution, which, if successful, puts puppet malleable government in power, and makes the country ultra-poor (most of the countries, where color revolutions staged by US/West succeeded, became significantly poorer)

- if color revolution didn't work, there's always an option to just bomb the country, because it's always ignored if all the international treaties and laws are ignored if USA or Israel bomb any other nation.
