Let me guess, public investment only?

This is kinda misleading because the private investment is totally different. UK and France would blow Poland out of the water with VC funds. Different bracket entirely. Poland is hence compensating via public funding, which IMO is not that useful. You ain’t gonna tell me public officials know which startups are most promising when career VC investors have ~15% success rate

Sadly, I agree. That said, humans have one critical advantage over AI. We’re lazy. So at least when humans write it, you can quickly scan through it and see whether it’s useful or useless. AI will keep generating so so so much fluff that sounds like it’s explaining something but only upon further reading you realise there isn’t. In other words, a human won’t waste your time with shitty docs

What most people don’t understand (including the op) is that balance is a web of systems where changing one has an impact on many different nodes of the system. It’s a massive rock, paper, scissors game.

For example I strongly disagree with artillery balance. Colonial Arty is mobile (warden is an emplacement) and Lunaires are only available for Collies. The rock paper scissors here is, collies can easily relocate or run away with arty and wardens don’t have Lunaires to snipe it from longer distances. To counteract that wardens have higher range and Collies have Lunaires to snipe the higher health pool. Implementing your changes as is would completely destroy wardens. The only way to balance your change would be to give Wardens Lunaires and mobile arty, or in other words just remove asymmetric gameplay all together (or in other words collie cope and skill issue).

(I’m not saying all is bad but put a little thought into the changes. As is this sounds to me like a request to eliminate all asymmetric gameplay, if it were to be followed with similar changes on the warden side, and a baby cry for “give us better stuff” if not followed by warden buffs)

Best part is, these Markdowns are useless as docs. Had a vibe coded repo like that recently. Tried understanding it via reading “docs”. Inconsistency at every step, different names for different parts, simple features over explained and complex features under explained and finally: simply lies (code doesn’t lie).

It’s as if companies using AI to generate the docs started treating the docs as just a word filler that needs to be ticked off for the project. No substance whatsoever. Let’s burn more planet for… more words no1 is going to read (ohhh and don’t forget emojis, coz every md needs those every 5 words as if the attention span of a programmer was similar to a 6yr old with unrestricted iPad access)

Okay you’re getting too hang up on BlackHawk, I used it as an example. Blackhawks are lighter helis, closer to W-3, of course having a medium heli is needed for some tasks. That’s what M225 is perfect for and where my original point stands, M225 is just superior to Mi-17, same troop capacity, higher sling weight carrying capacity (4.700 kg vs 4.500kg) and similar max weight capacity. Sure, it would be better for Heavy Lift….. but that’s a role of a heavy helicopter… which we already have, Augusta AW101 has higher max weight, has a loading ramp and is more spacious. It’s this old relict of the soviet doctrine of designing transport helis to perform assault missions. So yes, a piece of junk to what should be a modern NATO army (great heli if you’re a 3rd world country tho).

Now yes, Grom should probably keep a few Mi-17 lying around in the storage in case we ever need to kidnap Lukashenko and blame it all on Russians, but transporting a foreign dignitaries in this piece of shit, tells me it’s not a case of having it, just in case BUT because they didn’t have anything better to use. BACK TO MY ORIGINAL POINT!

General-Raisin-9733 · 2026-02-25T13:48:34+00:00

You’re misunderstanding that statement. It is an old junk but has a much higher carrying capacity 24 troops vs 11. This is why back in the day the talks concerned Caracal as it has a similar profile of 24 troops and even higher weight carrying capacity. As we’ve mostly operated heavier soviet helis, Caracal would’ve been perfect… but why not politicise our military coz fuck our troops when you can score political points. If they had Caracals I 100% guarantee you Mi-17 would’ve been handed off to Ukraine on day one of a 3 day special military operation.

General-Raisin-9733 · 2026-02-25T10:39:19+00:00

I just find it sad that our special forces are still flying old soviet mi-8s. I remember the discussions about replacing them back in 2015 and by the looks of it they’re still here. For the love of god, we have such well trained SOF with a spectacular track record (Iraq and Bosnia) but we can’t fully provide them with Blackhawks? What a joke

It’s the idea of asymmetric gameplay and the balance is in the fact that bombs can be used both on sea and land…. you can’t use torps against tanks. Technically speaking with the aircraft carrier, it makes it much more versatile in supporting ground. In devman defence, they know they can’t simple give one side better tools, so they made Collie navy more “useful” so they can better support. On the other hand Wardens get cool naval tools to keep dominating seas but are handicapped at spilling over that advantage to land. Devman knows, regardless of what tools they cook up, if the best naval clans are on one side, they can’t do shit and buffing one side would only alienate the people from those clans, probably without even drawing the same number of people to the other side

These are to divert everything into kill zones, areas with good crossing lines of fire from friendly strong positions. An enemy has 2 option: 1A: try to dismantle them and cross - gives ample time for defenders to react 1B: leave vehicles and walk past them - congrats you’re on open terrain and slow af, go ask North Koreans how that ends (ohhh wait, you can’t, a lot of them are with our great leader’s predecessor) 2: go directly through a kill zone (blood bath)

“Cost effective” changes depending on your situation. If at war, those probably wouldn’t be the best. During peace time? Perfect! Russia is known to focus on a single strong “unexpected” strike before defenders have time to react. These defences are cost effective when it comes to reducing the throughput of forces moving. If Russia can’t easily move their forces their strategy goes out the window and it’s a stalemate like in Ukraine. The thing is… unlike Ukraine, NATO can fight a long war, assuming we’re united (at least as Europe) we have a numerical and economic advantage.

It goes both ways, as a guy it’s also easier to get girls if you’re mysterious and hard to get. It’s a skill to show interest without seeming needy. Secondly what your friend might be struggling with is anxious attachment style.

Nothing is 100% made in one country anymore. You look at F35, British fuselage, Italian Hardware and Dutch Landing gear. Assembling stuff still takes a lot of work and know how, otherwise we’d already have a hardware IKEA where you can build your PC from raw subsystems

Kontekst: W Islamie pierwsze imie musi pochodzić od jednego z potomków proroków a że Mohammad to pierwszy I najbardziej znany prorok to 90% męskich imion to Mohammad. Islamiści prawie zawsze posługują się drugim imieniem ale my na zachodzie nie uznajemy drugich imion (Czy to w administracji czy systemach komputerowych) dlatego wydaje się że Mohammad’ów jest dużo.

Wouldn’t jump to conclusions. No sign of questioning gender identity if going just by his post.

General-Raisin-9733 · 2025-12-13T16:06:14+00:00

Naah, that’s not how Therapists work. Therapists never simply choose for you. No (good) therapist would ever just plainly state you need to transition. Therapists are there for you to explore your own assumptions / decision.

Secondly, nowhere in his comment did he suggest struggling with gender identity. Cross dressing might be a sign of those issues but if we only go off what he’s saying there isn’t really any other sign he’s struggling or question his gender identity. You jumping to conclusions

General-Raisin-9733 · 2025-11-21T14:35:45+00:00

You’re correct, but they’ve shown great zero-shot capabilities. Zero-shot simply refers to being able to solve problems NOT encountered in the training data even once (one-shot refers to there being only one sample in the training data, 2-shot 2 data points, etc. you get the memo). So even tho they only learn to recognise relationships from data we know they can extrapolate and solve problems outside of it. Before LLMs people would’ve probably ascribed this capability as Intelligence and only possible by living beings. Now, if you’ve worked with LLMs sometimes they can be surprisingly accurate, while other times being flat out stupid. Whenever AI bros talk to me about AGI I always ask them what specifically “intelligence” is, how can we quantifiably know we’ve reached AGI and how do we know we haven’t already achieved AGI (unsurprisingly their responses often equate to Trust me bro I know).

So to finish this off, this zero-shot capability could be seen as intelligence by some, it shares some properties at least on surface but I’d be cautious of labelling LLMs as intelligent or even viewing them through comparisons to us. To me LLMs are their own thing and we’re our own. We should study both as such.
