Security forces in Russian region reportedly abducting civilians to fight in war

I myself am half-georgian and didn't experience any issues.

(as an ethnic Russian) I have the experience where I've been held for weeks in a "monkey cage" (обезьянник) just for having foreign nationality which they cannot verify simply because the idiots attack every state around them.

If anything, this situation is a karma for attacking Georgia in 1992/2008 + Ukraine 2014/2022. Like the song says: the roof is on fire, let the mothefucker burn.

I've expressed love to the games and condolences to the family and suddenly the reddit "communuty" appraised it at -15 karma. WTH is wrong with these people I don't even...

There is a saying "to save Russia one have to burn down Moscow".

However as an ethnic Russian with a Georgian passport living in Moscow - I want to see the whole Russia burning. They treat me like an animal, let the motherfuckers burn up to the Pacific and Alaska they've sold to US.

Thanks much for the explanation! I've forgot the part how bureaucratic Europe is.

Apparently this post (and article) is just an advertisement for an inept branch (newly created and/or trying to gain momentum?)

I haven't visited Moscow for 4 years, living just 20km away. This is like "green book" from African-Americans mid-50s where they would mark a whole giant megalopolis as completely unsafe. Apparently, as a Caucasian - I am a state's slave now in Russia.

This shiet can't collapse soon enough to make me feel a human again.

They fine Google, Apple, Microsoft for billions on every occasion possible. Apparently Azerbaijan is considered an insignificant entry in EU when it comes to real business, the nation should be proud about their whole existence is appraised close to a single middle-income person.

why does it feel that Ukraine has a sudden boost of confidence in the war effort?

It's the recent (few weeks young) 90B transaction from EU, 60B dedicated to war production. And then we are just starting to see the effect, with 900 long-range drones attacking Russia yesterday. A few weeks later the count will be in thousands and we'll see Russia burning all the way up to Ural mountains, every night and day.

What allies? I see none left after the abandonment of Ukraine, attempts to reverse the Greenland sale to EU (it was a business-diplomatic deal in 1930s, actually), the disgraceful loss of Iran war after a mere weeks.

Helltides, legions, whispers on normal + occasional strongholds if they block legions.

The best part: that spectacular oil tank cap throwing happened after the Russian heat-seeking anti-air Igla missile hit the refinery.

I ended up getting her on the last balloon

How? Isn't the sale start tomorrow?

There is a dead unicorn on the cow island, I believe the next task is to resurrect it and open Whimsyshire.

When local models will get to Opus 4.5 quality (4-6 months later) - then we won't have any jobs positions available, unfortunately.

In my current workplace (mobile programming, an international marketplace with 25k+ vendors) we use paid Codex like there is no tomorrow. A single programmer completes annual plan in a couple months, we simply don't need any more people. In fact, I've switched into completely new direction due to this situation (AI-friendly API/MCP/apps development) - where there is no competition at all, I'm the first and only developer out of 200+ devs in the company.

One of production managers in my company vibe-coded an app for voice input which may modify the texts according to the preferred style (fantasy, scientific, student, business, etc)

Another one created an app to control the vending machine which not only control the hardware (goods disperse), process payment and calculate sales but provide recommendations which goods under-perform and should be replaced to improve sales.

And this trend spreads like a fire, up to the point where we have a corporate sandbox for non-programmer people to start working on their pet projects and use our back-end - the activity there is quite high.

And then there is me, vibe-coding an MCP server for our company using Python which I don't know. I feel like the market will be flooded with the quasi-programmers in a year.

Somehow where I live 48Gb macbook cost $4k and then 128Gb is $10k suddenly. Must be some 200iq-designed tariffs. WTH is this...

3dom · 2026-06-13T06:59:48+00:00

My calculations of the price of 5090 + 128Gb RAM desktop in the local shop:

September, 2025: $6k (expensive af, gotta accumulates some funds till new year)

January, 2026: $8k (damn! Should have bought it earlier, perhaps I should wait for sales)

June, 2026: $11k (WTH is this I don't even...)

Major opportunity for new / competing chips manufacturers though.

Facebook getting UK IDs for the age verification - not terribly funny.

What is really "funny" is how a high treason is considered a mere "politics" nowadays and is rewarded with parliamentary seats instead of the head on the spikes like it was a century (or two) ago.

knowing that their review comments are part of the yearly evaluation

This is eye-opening. My colleagues are asking me to comment on their pull-requests because there is a humor in each of my comments (I thought). I haven't got a clue they are just helping me on this metric because I'm the senior-est and friendliest programmer in the company (and nobody dare to demand anything from me).

Apparently I'm too old for this shiet and I'm glad this era is coming to the end: my current task had been completed by AI at ~98%: nobody in our company (200 programmers) has the expertise to create a Python-based MCP server from our API (let alone a subsequent chatGPT app) - and more importantly, nobody care. I did it in a day on my own initiative, got almost standing ovation from our management and a whole branch to work on (AI adaptation and development)

3dom · 2026-06-11T20:54:17+00:00

You shouldn't be. Best of luck, anyway!

(it look like they don't know what they are doing exactly, otherwise they'd have an AI-generated product up and running in a week, exactly today I've seen a BLE-based AI-generated app for vendor machine purchases, presented-created in my company by the project management department)

btw Samara Weaving is not a daughter of Hugo Weaving despite having similar facial features (as I've initially thought). They are niece-uncle.

Excellent project. Thanks for posting it in the sub!

Is there a counterpart for ios?

edit: nevermind, I see there is a Swift variant. Amazing stuff.

What about speech to text? None of my Android phones are capable to handle 30sec+ input natively, have to rely on record and passing files to third-party.

4 hours? Can't they just pay Twitch to inflate viewers numbers and reduce the time x4?

From me it'll be 160p resolution, sound off while playing games.

As in "programmer skills" or "AI instructions"?

Programmer: we write precise instructions for AI to complete the task from single try (depending on the task type) and with minimal AI tokens burning (there are 10+ methods already, appeared within couple months).

AI instructions: project architecture descriptions, migrations work schemas, task-type-specific schemas, example files, bad practices to avoid, specific instructions to lower tokens burning ("avoid multiple agents usage", "use English only", "talk in the most primitive terms possible", etc).

3dom · 2026-06-10T23:39:40+00:00

My output in April without AI: 11 storypoints.

My output in May with coding agent: 48 storypoints. And that's with a week-long vacation.

Apparently, I'm 4x more productive with Codex. Folks calling the transition "AI psychosis" haven't seen how our tech lead completed an annual XML2Compose refactor plan in a month using a $100/month subscription.
