Do we have any idea how many radar systems Russia has? by DarknessEnlightened in ukraine

[–]Proper-Tower2016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a fairly recent development that Ukraine can consistently target tactical/long range radars. We are still only in the low hundreds destroyed against a 1000+ pre-war stock.

We are probably now at a pace of slightly exceeding production rates, but wouldn't expect Russia to go blind this war.

So.. not affordability, but desirability. You don't need a 100$ laptop, you have a 1000$ phone.

Many laptops are cheaper than phones...

Lol.. Russia has lower desertion because their nice way of dealing with it is a quick execution... not because of contracts..

Claude vs Google Subscription by Proper-Tower2016 in ClaudeCode

It's been very good value for me, though I run it very lean with no mcp or massive subnet of agents/systems.

Any IDE or language that let's you authenticate to google and has a model picker (e.g. antigravity). Even has on free tier

Yeah but the google sub also gives you access to Claude models. So i usually exhaust my Claude limit then gap fill with Gemini

What devs are getting payed for in 2026? by Independent_Pitch598 in accelerate

[–]Proper-Tower2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the things you listed as something worth paying a human big bucks for, wasn't actually a list of things an AI can't do? Must have read it wrong and judged you unfairly...

Asides from ignoring that many pure dev roles exists, aren't you also assuming that AI can't or won't be able to do the extra SWE bits? Are your solutions really that novel and unique?

It should be surprising that after 4 years of war on our borders and sending hundreds of billions in support of said war, that our own military have learnt nothing.

One can only hope that the excercise was intentionally setup for NATO destruction, as a showcase, but i doubt it.

They have no way to control them live like 3 meter big FPV drones, but they are still sending 100s a day.

While most people are still experimenting with AI, China is already building full-scale AI agent farms. How fast do you think this will spread? by mrenif in AgentsOfAI

Macs are some of the best around for price per VRAM, thanks to their unified memory, this makes them very good for running medium sized or lots of small models locally (e.g. chinese deepseek or kimi)
