- Comment on YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 1 week ago:
what’s fascinating is that much of what feels like an exaggeration regarding these characters is actually historically accurate. Khrushchev while being treacherous backstabber actually had a jokester act as it was depicted in the movie

the more i know about LLM and their numerous issues the less enthusiastic i am about this whole current AI thing.

i don’t think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.

i guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.

ok. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?

is it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?

can’t compare really - absolutely different frameworks

the tsarist prison system was nowhere near as elaborate and infrastructurally sophisticated as GULAG and it wasn’t integrated into the economy so the comparison is dubious at best.

There needs to be a Fallout Raider faction called Great Tits and their signature meal is cracked skull brain omelette.

Trotsky was equally as bad as Stalin actually. He was very good at reframing it after his exile but that doesn’t mean he isn’t neck deep in blood as well.

while overly simplified - the statement is technically correct - Trotsky was a big proponent of state terror campaigns and disproportional use of force to quell civil unrest. Stalin took this framework and developed it further into fully functional system. Trotsky also started the camp system that evolved into GULAG. He was also very dismissive about comrade Coba and this arrogance eventually did him in and led to his exile and later assassination.

aside from compressed timeline - it actually does a good job representing the major players and their core traits and interactions. Lots of straightforward historical dramas about that period took a lot more artistic license in that regard. Like there’s an old movie called The Inner Circle which is basically about Stalin’s movie club - and it paints the same people in borderline caricature simplistic tones despite the movie technically being a serious drama.

meanwhile in Ukraine - media mostly focuses on specific people KIA in retrospect and army divisions produce commemorative documentaries to celebrate fallen comrades. And this stuff is heartbreaking to watch
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 2 weeks ago:
“more will come”. never underestimate hungry star eyed folks. Look at Grammarly - they’ve been throwing people on the streets for the last three years showing zero loyalty to longterm employees and then replacing them with cheaper newbies over and over. And that after hoarding literally any NLP talent to make competition non-existent - so for NLP folks in Ukraine it means they have nowhere to go outside of military sector which is its own can of worms. Meanwhile Grammarly just keeps on pivoting to AI coding then hiring folks to clean the mess to pivot again.

the funny thing is that by all accounts replacing programmers with AI leads to hiring programmers back to fix AI mess.

it just makes sense, eh?
- Comment on Manager at Associated Press Tells Journalists That Resistance to AI Is Futile 3 weeks ago:
Newsrooms are strapped because media economy is nonfunctional and is not even designed to be self-sustainable in current economy and it is deeply future-vulnerable. And that’s media managers like Rinehart fault.

no matter how hard they try - it is still slop and it is called like that for a reason
- Comment on Manager at Associated Press Tells Journalists That Resistance to AI Is Futile 3 weeks ago:
its a governance problem or if being specific unwillingness to govern that takes the economy into these deep waters. But what else we can expect when the government is in the big tech’s pocket
- Comment on Manager at Associated Press Tells Journalists That Resistance to AI Is Futile 3 weeks ago:
It is one of the better tech news sites out there. Their newsletter is very good and got these silly headlines that never fail to crack me up.

every time someone tries to put the economy on lock they end pushing the formation of an alternative system outside of their control.
