As if I am myself immune to propaganda. Thanks for a daily reminder, kind stranger.

invasion happened in '21

24 February 2022. I see that you’re not from a neighboring country, otherwise you would have remembered this date

Nobody was talking about invading Ukraine before 2010, even in 2014 the idea about invasion was marginal: Crimea was something that wasn’t generally perceived as a part of Ukraine (bc reasons, don’t dive into it), while Donbass was washed as a separatist movement.

But there was also a significant piece of propaganda that demonized the new Ukrainian government, its people, and the whole premise of Ukraine’s existence. This propaganda was not a deliberate preparation for invasion, but a move that put the invasion card on Putin’s table as an option.

The very same is happening in the western media with the same methods used, like one discussed before. To have this option just in case they need to engage in a war with Russia.

I hate the US and Russia equally

As a Russian myself, I don’t. They are not equal at all: Russia is an established authoritarian state with imperialistic ambitions, while the US is a fully fledged imperialist with authoritarian ambitions. They both deserve hate, but for different aspects

You wouldn’t believe that this was one of the narratives for justifying the invasion to Ukraine in early 2022. Russian social media was full of narratives basically saying that Ukrainians are no longer able to scam common Russians, because the so-called “scam centers” were hit by missiles.

It’s 2k26 and the same warmongering narrative is everywhere in the west social media. Y’all think you are invincible to propaganda, yet you’re falling to it in the same way.

That’s how you get class consciousness

Racism is never about empirical properties of its object. The object is always constructed and reflects the racist’s fantasies

BECAUSE THEY ARENT SENTIENT NOR ARE THEY A RACE.

They are not, but you still can be racist towards them

They do not, but you can still be a racist towards them. It’s not about llms, it’s about you

Like fuck AI, but the general vibe is that bots are anthropomorphic and we should exclude them by the same reasons we previously were excluding black folks.

The whole text sounds racist AF

looks inside

AI

Not if you care about accuracy.

Now I understand the last part. Agreed, something deeply specialized could be in danger here. I had corpo speak in mind writing the previous messages

Transcriptions, mostly decent.

Yup, quite good

Notes and summaries?

It works mostly to shrink the meaning. Something that LLMs are trained for in the first place.

And that’s all. 2 separate steps that are both good and reliable to an extent. One of the best applications of ai so far

Tbh note taking is something LLMs are good at

I’m going to open it wide open to kill every spider in my body

“but have they tried Opus 4.6/ChatGPT 5.3? No? Then disregard the research, we’re on the exponential curve, nothing is relevant”

Sorry, I’ve opened reddit this week

Well, if we go absurdly simple you only need to send user input and receive images or something that fairly easily could be rendered as an image (html?).

800dpi mouse sends about 24kbps, keyboard input is negligible. So theoretically speaking, you can do absolutely everything on such a remote PC but with a screen of 240p.

Absolutely miserable.

Yeah, Go is nice sometimes. It shines in codebases that are not quite large and not very small. Also it’s great to write a cli tool in it, though I prefer Rust because I hate myself. What I personally missed in Go (maybe skill issue, idk):

1. Metaprogramming. For big projects it’s inevitable. You need to have SPOT which generates documentation and headers (e.g. xml document, openapi spec). Otherwise you die. The fact that the source should be a git repo is cancer, as in this case artifacts are added in git, which results in merge conflicts.

2. DI. In JVM world it is a must. If you don’t have it, you fucking should have a reason for that! If your logic spans across multiple layers of factories, onboarding of a new developer creates friction.

3. For small web services that are not constrained by memory I would choose spring + openapi, as it really requires only model description and the endpoint, yielding you a client in any language you want.

4. If err != nill. Don’t let me started on importance of result and either monads.

5. Aspects and (usable) reflection. I want a codebase that has actual decoupling. I want a security code to be in a completely different place, away from the business logic, just as I want traces with serialization to be pluggable I don’t want to have a single place in code that has a sequence auth -> validate inputs -> trace -> business logic -> validate output. I strongly believe that it’s faulty, untestable and prone to errors.

I have. Go is verbose

Haven’t python reintroduced the infix notation? That’s incredibly exhausting and lame. A simple fuck you would look much fancier
