Well to this day China is getting Iranian energy. This naval blockade is a relic of a past long gone. When you have eyes in the sky and pin point accurate missiles. The US can't even block or free the straight of Hormuz.

Also China is friendly with Russia they have land border so they can build pipelines.

It's a message toward the west don't think you're safe further away. Iran is pushing the west out of west Asia. Time will tell what USIS and EU will do to combat this.

I saw this message spread like a wild fire in the osint sphere 2 week ago.

Already told me war with Iran is going bad. Hell to the point that even John "we need to attack Iran now" Bolton couldn't get it hard anymore at the thought of attacking Iran.

Somewhere Dijkstra is laughing his ass off.

Expect a shitload of AI powered code review products the next 18 months.

Accelerate a person speed toward being burned out..

You're just feeling what the rest of non western world has felt for centuries. Welcome to the club.

People do under estimate how nice it is that the language ref or framework/tool documentation is all on one web page i can easily pdf print it and push it to my ipad for reading.

From my observations, its more the friends that never left rural village we grew up in that have children. My urban friends don't really have children maybe because urban life i stressed but you also have so much stuff to do so maybe kids isn't really a thing one think about, it's more about building up a network.

I personally think we over urbanised. If i look at my friends circle, most of the urban ones are childless and the rural ones have 2~4 kids.

Super anecdotal and totally non scientific observation.

Pretty much, they aren't going to trust each other that an incoming missile is not armed with a nuclear payload.

You do know that in a business environment proof of concept is more a proof of production. Shit doesn't get rewritten when it can at this very moment start generating revenue and profits.

Them using excavator and trucks etc to move dirt. Is the same as us using a compiler to compile code into an executable.

LLM would be if the digging and hauling of the dirt happened without any people involved except the planning of logistics.

In my mind using a simpler language should be less painful given there is less to argue about given syntax and versions etc. Take c# for example you have multiple ways to do the same sort of things.

Same here i'm a decade plus in this field, writing code was by far the number 1 and the discussion surrounding system design was a far second. Take away the coding i don't think i will make it to retirement being a code/llm PR auditor for work. So i'am already planning on exiting the field in the next decade.

Strength on itself is already functional and useful. I kind of agree with you, its why i have been moving away from the strongmen stuff, more into kettlebells, calisthenics and walking during lunch and/or post dinner.

For strength you can do a workout within like 25~35min that is taking it slow like browsing socials during pauses.

Talking about programs like rippetoe, 5x5, 531 etc. Unless you have elite genetics or are on juice you don't really need to go beyond those programs.

It's kind of interesting how with vibe coding we just threw away 2 decades of secure code best practices xD...

Vietnam frontline experience is irrelevant in 2026, when its more drone dominated.

Im sure China has plenty of observers/volunteers embedded at the Russian side in the SMO making plenty of notes, reports, and get modern warfare experience..

The global cybersphere will split up, the west and other parties have shown they will use social media networks to organize regime change and take over legitimate protests.

Especially now that China is taking an ever increasing share of the global information streams. Given the increased panicked the US had about tiktok. Showing the result of the western sponsored genocide in Gaza. They had to enforce ownership handover of tiktok US to a group of US based entities.

So i wouldn't be surprised US internet sphere will shrink over time now that China can go on the offensive in the cyber-realm.. The components are already in place just pull the switch so cloudflare has to regulate who gets in and who gets out.

When it comes to AI im more of a luddite at the moment, things change like every 6 months when it comes to prompting the models.

But i don't mind people using AI it's their own choice, the focus then just becomes in the curation skill of the individual, team, company etc of the generated AI output. So taking away the award is kind of weak given people enjoyed the game.

Of course the Russians will do this we helped Ukrainians attack the Russian nuclear fleet with drones they are most definitely organising some payback actions.

Be glad stuff isn't exploding yet, we are at war with Russia. Did people expect no damage would happen inside Europe?

That really depends on the cost asymmetry between building + launching sats being cheaper or more expensive than taking down all those sats.

It probably shouldn't be so hard to find military application for more compute in space. Especially give the global surveillance and communication networks like starlink and intelligence sats.

What better way to cover up such space compute capabilities than the AI madness.

That's why its called woke/rainbow imperialism.

It depends what japan and korea will do to piss of China just to please their far away masters.

I can highly recommend this course, i finished it. It's one of those code katas to learn a new language with a bit like Raytracing in one weekend.

Story mode is good enough for me

I wiped windows 10 from desktop. Installed cachyos and steam Installed path of exile 2

and it worked surprisingly, also i see people joking about how win32 is the only stable api on linux xD. Also heard red dead redemption 2 also works well on linux that might be the next game i will check out.

This is a lesson every western European nation should learn and learn them quickly or else they won't make it.
