They already pissed people off, using OSS code for training AI models without people’s consent.

Sorry fella, but you need to judge a government by the policies it applies, not simply to the form it takes.

This over attachment to the form makes up many smug liberals who are often unpoliticized, misrepresented by the very representatives they elect, which only do the bidding of powerful lobby groups tied to the financial sector.

The liberal voting system, along with the multi-party system, hasn’t been capable, for a long time, to guarantee that people’s voice are being heard. The people in the West, for a long time, is holding this smug attitude as if they were the pinnacle of civilization, when in fact they are the biggest fools and jesters of the world who are constantly squabbling against each other and persecuting minority groups while they are being robbed blind by equity, rent, taxes, interest rates, and having their jobs being moved to other places.

So, yeah, Niger maybe a dictatorship of a military junta but they are taking the steps of getting rid of their Western parasites, the same people that make your life harder at each passing day, while you are complaining about they not being pure enough or for not conforming with your stupid idealization of how government systems should work. Stop being a fool and instead of arrogantly complaining and diminishing their actions, go read something organize and do something productive. Stop being a fool, for god’s sake!

If Poroshenko wants to coup Zelensky, I think we’ll see even more Nazi shit up in the Ukrainian top bureaucracy.

Trump is sometimes so stupid that it gave the Brazilian left a political gift.

The US will never admit their F-35 got shot. They alleged a few F-35 fell into the ocean after defensive maneuvers done by a carrier. Note that this happened at least twice.

Yep, they would need both fighters and AEW&C to make AEW&C effective. But if they at least have more modern jets, deploy their anti-air defenses strategically and use radar tricks to hit F-35 then they would be able to tick the scales a bit. But this depends on how much Iranian air forces are used to these tactics and are used to the more modern equipment.

Iran would actually need airborn early warning and control (AEW&C) to effectively defeat F-35 fighters with anti-air defenses. But if Iran were to deploy a few J-10C that were used by Pakistan, they would at least put an obstacle in acquiring air superiority in Iranian territory, since the jets would not be able to maneuver freely in Iranian territory.

Let’s keep in mind that J-10Cs are 4th gen as well. But I think Iran would be able to replace their old fleet with newer J-10Cs as quickly as Pakistan did with their older jets.

One more of those revolutionary functional languages that fade over the course of 5 years?

Fuck capitalism. Nuff said…

Oh, and I forgot to add, China, Russia and Iran didn’t even use their top tier missiles yet.

Yup, and today missiles can have satellite guidance. So, not only precise, but it is also smart enough to avoid some routes with heavy anti-air defenses.

US missiles are hypersonic just because AngryCommieKender said so.

Exactly. Hype based capital investment.

Israel is an invading country currently performing the biggest live-streamed genocide in recent history. They don’t care about international law or what people in the rest of the world think. So their boarding or attack of the freedom flotilla does not care about reasonable use of force.

It’s not the first time the flotilla is intercepted by Israeli forces. A few months ago a ship from freedom flotilla was sunk by Israeli drones, with some of the activists that are currently on board in the Madleen (such as Thiago Ávila). But it’s the first time a high profile activist like Greta Thunberg is joining their initiative.

Yup, can confirm. We had a wrapper to a C++ library using JNI, so whenever this library crashed so did the entire JVM.

I am not anti-AI or something like it and I use AI on a daily basis. If you work on a domain where there’s plenty code written for it or documentation, AI acts like a very efficient search tool. It does not replace traditional documentation or stack overflow, but it significantly reduces the time I take searching for specific syntax, or an example of how to use a library, or how to use a specific feature or parameter of a library. Occasionally it gives me bad advice as well, such as doing something that results in low performance, low security, but then I can check the actual documentation and code to see the details. For code reviews, I think it’s only partially useful, while sometimes it spits something useful, most of the time it spits out bad or irrelevant advice that ends up polluting the code review screen for actual human devs trying to review the code. However, even with all the gains, which is kind of a mixed bag, I think it’s very unlikely AI will increase speed 10 fold. At best, it will be like a 25% improvement at best, and only specific to some times in the project lifecycle, and most of the gains only happen when you are dealing with generating boilerplate code and adding non business-specific functionality. Most of the time I had to maintain existing code, debug existing functionality and fix some security flaws, AI didn’t help me at all.

How to tell someone you don’t know how compression algorithms work, without telling them directly.

2050: people still wondering how to center a div because html and CSS is a nightmare.

I think that any electromechanical system that does not allow a mechanical override or at least a redundancy are doomed to fail. I don’t know why these IOT entrepreneurs don’t take in account that software and electronics are faulty systems, ignoring decades of experience in the subject.

Yes, 0.99 performance being consumed by the interpreter.
