Russia is trying to avoid retaliation through stricter sanctions, for example.

That's where all the smoking guns are buried.

That's why I use a belt and suspenders to pick them up.

I wonder if you are, maybe accidentally, implying that any president before has made America weaker?

I'd argue that actively trying to make enemies out of friends is in no way going to make America stronger. Quite the opposite.

My limited impression is, that all the 3rd party inference providers are absolute garbage.

I was so disappointed that I won't consider any of them for at least a few years.

Even JetBrains is now AI blog-slop, how disappointing.

Not all, but definitely on some. I also find it very off-putting.

Does anyone write anything anymore themselves? This is insulting, even for an AI coding enthusiast like myself.

because you want to code and stand up ci runners yourself or because i just shared what i did for anyone to adopt including the code?

not sure what's insulting. I just shared why and how I did this, but hey.

I think it's about the comment you wrote, or rather that AI (appears to have) written entirely.

ah. it writes and i edit it. me and Stanley Duckenmiller. it's a way better writer than i am. so is my cousin who is a golf writer for 30 years. so you're correct. i am excellent at editing though :)

Your parent comment reads like AI slop, so you may not be as good at editing as you think. Worth thinking about the impression you’re conveying about yourself.

Yeah I completely gave up after a paragraph of overly wordy AI garbage.

There's no way just writing it out would have been worse

I’d suggest adding emdashes to your filter list.

There is a big difference in compute requirements between EU and US.

EU needs to meet their own demand, the US wants to be the global provider.

No, I think most of the recent huge datacenter buildups are for US AI efforts only in the AI arms race, not to be rented out.

What is the AI arms reace to you?

Isn't it to be the globally dominant provider of such a service? Everything else is in service of that goal.

We're still deep in the research and exploration phase, who knows what will huge oodles of compute be useful for in the end? Maybe it will end up being used by the owning corporation or local nation state, against similar amount of compute wielded by another corporation or nation state.

After all, what else than governments and corporations will be left after the rest of us poors will inevitably be priced out of the economy?

What? If someone wanted to bomb something, they wouldn't be waiting for drones to arrive.

RC cars and planes existed for many decades already.

RC cars can't even beat a basic stair or fence, and RC planes are difficult to maneuver as they can't stand still/hover. Try to drop a payload from a flying plane at an exact point on the ground - basically impossible. Even when you do the math, the wind+drag will have a major influence. With a drone you can hit precisely within inches.

A Russian slave army is exactly what Hegseth wants.
