I pay $20 for ChatGPT, I ask it to criticize my code and ideas. Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it says bullshit.
For a few months I used Gemini Pro, there was a period when it was better than OpenAI's model but they did something and now it's worse even though it answers faster so I cancelled my Google One subscription.
I tried Claude Code over a few weekends, it definitely can do tiny projects quickly but I work in an industry where I need to understand every line of code and basically own my projects so it's not useful at all. Also, doing anything remotely complex involves so many twists I find the net benefit negative. Also because the normal side-effects of doing something is learning, and here I feel like my skills devolve.
I also occasionally use Cerebras for quick queries, it's ultrafast.
I also do a lot of ML so use Vast.ai, Simplepod, Runpod and others - sometimes I rent GPUs for a weekend, sometimes for a couple of months, I'm very happy with the results.
I absolutely reject your premise here. I feel like Bush Jr. is very responsible for the state of the world we're in right now. You can track back a whole lot of policies and erosion of democratic norms in our system directly to his administrations.
Or the fact we are woefully unprepared for a peer conflict. We wasted how many trillions in the middle east? We cancelled how many modernization programs to fund counter insurgency programs instead?
> moving any and all US personnel currently in Denmark, out of Denmark
Why? I mean, if this was another president and another scenario, I'd agree. But I can very well imagine Trump taking Greenland by force and at the same time leaving all American units in Europe as they are.
He justified not notifying Congress about Venezuela as "not wanting leakers". He'd 100% would have American soldier blood on his hands if he felt it'd make for a better attack.
While I don't disagree, I see zero chances of American soldiers in Denmark fighting with Denmark/EU forces. Because nobody wants to kill American soldiers, it makes zero sense. And I think (or at least hope) there is a similar sentiment on the other side - at least some American generals show it quite clearly, attacking a close ally is very stupid. Moreover, nobody wants any military activities inside Denmark - the possibility of having it in Greenland is depressing enough. So, if the unthinkable happens, I believe American soldiers would be quite safe staying in Denmark.
>Because nobody wants to kill American soldiers, it makes zero sense.
Of course it makes no sense. You're trying to apply logic to the illogical. We should know by now that this is an admin driven by ego. Not by duty nor even something sensible like greed or ideology.
>if the unthinkable happens, I believe American soldiers would be quite safe staying in Denmark.
Not just the EU. The USA has no more allies and is not perceived as a reliable partner at any level. Sure, officially they will shake hands and say whatever is needed but in the meantime new partnerships are being created because in this chaotic world stability has a big value.
I live in the EU, and I think it will actually be very positive in the medium to long term that the EU sheds its dependency on the US and starts treating it for what it is - a hostile foreign nation.
The Mercosur trade agreement, for example, is something great that came out of this. Trump finally pushed the EU to look for good partnerships elsewhere.
So, in a sense, this whole bullshit with Greenland may have positive outcomes still. I am hoping that the EU uses the anti-coercion instrument against the US and their companies.
The mercosur being great I'm not so sure... Yeah let's import a lot of agricultural products that can use banned chemicals why our farmers can't and so can't compete, just so that Geemany can export a few cars...
It confused me as hell as my first thought was "oh great, astral.sh got bought by a large company, now we've eliminated the last obstacle to using uv in enterprise context" only to realize that it's another company with similar name.
I mean good for them, but it would be nice if the same happened to e.g. Astral (cf.).
You're kidding, right? You've never seen a server completely inaccessible just because the owner had trouble renewing the cert? A lot of websites went down this way. And they served static content. Shortening that windows is just asking for trouble.
