He dead.

That is the oversimplification of the situation. Ukraine has stalled Russian progress in almost all locations. Ukraine is severely disrupting Russian logistics, there is a lot of reports about it, but none of them are explaining that doesn't mean stopping Russians. So Ukraine does have a lot of success. Russia can still progress further with it's tactic of infiltration of small groups. And it is true that the tactic causes incredible amounts of casualties and it's true that Russia currently can't replenish the loses, however they can find ways to conscript many more people so the current issues are not worrying for them.

In any case, they can't get Donetsk without a serious mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people. But they can do that.

I think the question is how. Full scale mobilization or some weird scheme they figure out when they don't have to do the official mobilization.

Infiltration teams can capture empty land. A big city? In whole of the war, Russia has not really taken a city this big. Even smaller cities, they needed a year for and absurd amount of casualties. They only took big cities and the beginning when they were not defended. This is going to be a bloodbath for Russia. Ukraine is prepared and the ratio of casualties will insane.

This is sooo amazing. Everything already exists! It's like nextcloud. Why is this not a household name?

I can't wait to get a couple of hours of time to get into this! Thanks!

Thank you, wise man, for warning me about something AI is telling me to check each time anyway, thank you about warning me about something Id have almost no issues with us it happens. Very wise words 😀.

Sorry, I don't mean to be so sarcastic. I understand many are triggered hard with even a mention of ai. I sort of try to understand. But like I said, I'm a very pragmatic man with not a lot of time and AI has helped me do little projects that I only dreamed I could do.

Btw: I already ordered an Arduino kit, I was thinking of building a light controlled alarm clock set in three oak wood cubes. Cause I do very basic woodworking too and ai is going to do the Arduino part! Fantastic people. It's just fantastic!

I don't really think it's my funeral, since I'm not that invested. It could destroy everything and I'd still have a backup. Worst case scenario, I'd lose... not sure id lose anything really. Best case scenario I'm not sure, but realistic scenario I can do stuff I'd normally need a ton of effort while still having a bunch of quality time with my family.

I'm not to worried about the tech magnets, they look quite incompetent to me.

The name ai has been used to describe many things. We called Chess engines ai, we still call video game opponents ai. Even the guy who coined the phrase intended it to describe something that is simulating inteligence. I think LLMs are something that completely fit the bill. When we invent something better, we will probably stop calling LLMs ai, but I think it's completely fair to do it until then. It's a simulation, I think the general public understanding is that this is not a living intelligence we are conversing with.

Validate what it's telling you against actual sources, and it can indeed be helpful. Yes, but.... I don't have to do this anymore, because I ask it to explain each command to me and while I would still struggle without it, right now I call already understand the commands. It can't delete everything or something epic like that. I don't use agents for this stuff, that would be more risky.

However.... I often wonder when I do cli commands and paste them back to llms, how stupid that is. Maybe it's still necessary to keep control? But when I extrapolate into the future and let's say llms get just a bit more reliable, doing all the stuff I did would take no effort at all.

I think of it sort of like soup. You don't need soup to be extremely well defined to work. Sure you can mess it up, but it's not that likely and if that situation doesn't hold a big financial penalty then why not risk away?

Also, I'm not some ai evangelist. I'm more like extremely pragmatic.

I understand I'm going to get downvoted and hated for this, but AI.

It's amazing. Basically I started with Linux, set up everything, gamed, set up a server, jellyfin, torrents, nextcloud ( fantastic btw, so so happy with this), all over cloudflare ( didn't even know what that is before), webserver. I host a bunch of stuff now for my climbing club. I moved all my services to some open source stuff that ai helps me install and use.

I have zero time to research this stuff on me own with the family and work, bit I did All this stuff. It's amazing.

Next I'm buying a bunch of sensors and connecting them to the server and I want to have an app that shows what's going on with temperature and humidity and microwave movement sensor,... I have no idea how any of this will work, but I'm confident I will do it which is just bizarre really.

Linux is awesome, ai is awesome too help me do all this stuff.

It's a nonsensical question to begin with. Nobody will ask such a question and not be a troll so answering in any form is a defeat in itself.

I would decibeli use a lot of mushrooms if I had Alzheimer's. Or not have it also.

It's not interesting. They manage to downplay the situation as well as usually. Enough for their type of audiences.

But often also those who fight for their survival survive and are so happy that they are still living, that profit is less important for them.

Not even survival?

So they shouldn't fight for their survival, because someone is profiting?

That's not a good argument, because set so wide you can argue every single thing in our lives and every other life on the planet is about profit.

Lol

I don't know what you're trying to say, but pointing out that some people profit from war doesn't change the fact that many people fight because they want to survive and that they have a legitimate reason to fight and they should do everything to survive.

Saying that war is about profit is also a superficial statement that doesn't mean anything. You can make everything about profit. Was this war about profit? I think you will find most wars aren't.

Yes they are starting for many things else like ideology, pride, hatred, religion,... There where supposedly even been ones for love and betrayal. That's not profit. If you want to play linguistics, maybe you can twist it all somehow into profit, but like I said, you can pretty much do that with everything.

So profit is not a good argument if you do that. There are many wars that were actually done for profit or at least prolonged because of profit. But the only way you can see Russian invasion of Ukraine in that way is to believe their most hard line propagandists. And I don't and neither should anyone.

There is profit in everything every day. That doesn't mean the profit is the driving force.

Ukraine needs to fight to survive. Eu is helping a lot. Not pretending. But giving it means to defend itself. Ukraine has developed it's arms industry and eu is helping with their budget. There is no pretending. It a complicated international situation, but eu doesn't profit, Ukraine doesn't profit, Russia doesn't profit. The only one profiting is the us and nobody is saying they aren't happy with it, but saying they did the whole war is really stupid.

Bizzare. Americans are seriously crazy. It's a monarchy really, it's so in your face, like a bad comedy.

It's beyond me that after all this people are still using Twitter
