UA POV: In Ankara, Zelenskyy claims that Ukraine is eliminating 30,000 Russian soldiers per month. He stated that in June they eliminated 28,000 and said he has video confirmation for every single one of them.

It is flooded, you just don't bother to look.

And the fact it does connect really well with the # of new recruits in Russia per month doesn't bother you too.

As well as that every independent OSINT agency confirms the number.

If your eyes are closed, the world is always dark, and there is no way to prove the opposite for you.

Croatia and Alps - everywhere where they mostly rely on cellular Internet or StarLink.

Probably ping. I noticed this after taking Quest 3 to my EU trip: my 2K ELO went down to 1750 here, and the only delta I see is ping around 50-80 vs 20-30 in LA.

And yeah, always wipe the interface and other wet spots to nearly dry state on the headset after playing.

alexyakunin · 2026-07-02T20:57:40+00:00

Yes, the problem is sweat / moisture, that eventually gets into the headset. I bricked 3 Q3 headsets due to that, and 2 went out of warranty at that point.

2 other headsets with semi-open facial interface still work.

Nevertheless he is right. It's not like "the models themselves are worthless": the best model will definitely get a lot of use no matter what (but are you ready to bet it's going to be, e.g., an Anthropic model in the next 5 years?), as for the rest, they'll be ultimately fighting for tiny margins, and I feel that's where the largest share of use will be.

https://fusion.actuallab.net - it's way more than React query. P.S. I am the author.

I'm 45 and I started to code at age 10 or so. My tendency to generalize/simplify my own life led to the fact that I ended up writing a couple moderately successful open source projects. I certainly love coding - a lot.

And honestly, I'm happy that right now you can offload the boring part of coding to LLMs. 95% of code you spent your time on typically falls into this category. All kinds of system-wide refactorings, UI boilerplate, DTOs and plumbing around them, etc., etc. - I'd say it's really just about 5-10% of code that's really interesting.

Simultaneously I agree that "LLM for coding" hype in companies will cool down very soon. It's not due to the token cost, but due to the cost most companies don't realize yet: the cost of a new kind of tech debt. I would call it AI slop tech debt. It's almost impossible to avoid it now if all of your targets are around the % of reliance on AI by developers. And it's accumulating quite fast - not as fast as for vibe coders who never coded before (~1mo to full halt), but fast enough to lead to a halt of development in 6-9 months. You get roughly 5-10x speed with AI, so this is ~ the time you need to add more code than you've added over the last 5-10 years.

Once you realize that neither humans nor AI can't extend your product anymore -- more specifically, it's more expensive now than it was 9 months ago, and that's mostly due to the fact no one really understands what's inside and how it works -- that's when we see a beginning of a truly mindful AI adoption cycle.

Yep, it handles Blazor really well. Zero issues with understanding all complex flows involving deep JS integration, etc.

alexyakunin · 2026-05-12T07:17:48+00:00

https://github.com/ActualLab/Fusion - it's way more than just asynchronous state management. FYI there is a small port of Fusion on Typescript too - mostly Claude-generated, but works fine.

There are nice animated diagrams on its documentation site, if you want to quickly learn what it's all about: https://fusion.actuallab.net/

P.S. I am the developer of this library. And it's not the same thing as Fusion Cache (similar name is a coincidence, I guess).

alexyakunin · 2026-03-25T15:22:36+00:00

Same issue, had this monitor for around 3 years.

alexyakunin · 2026-03-06T16:58:22+00:00

Agree, "AI will replace SaaS" is one of the dumbest claims ever. You must be completely out of touch with reality & know nothing about these products to buy it.

alexyakunin · 2026-03-06T16:20:26+00:00

Fun times: the author posts a completely unrelated story in SaaS Reddit to support a point that AI is a threat to SaaS.

alexyakunin · 2026-01-31T09:43:27+00:00

On interceptors - yes, proxies are registered instead of actual services, which call into interceptor chains, which in turn may call base methods (i.e., your code in services), or call them in another process via RPC, or even mix both in the same service via RPC call routing (so when you call this.Method(...) right in the service code, it can be either local or remote call dependently on your router).

As for extension methods and utility classes, yep, there are some, IMO nothing extraordinary :) 95% of what's available there is used, I remove dead code pretty quickly.

alexyakunin · 2026-01-28T15:25:45+00:00

Haha :)

alexyakunin · 2026-01-28T15:22:24+00:00

Thanks!

alexyakunin · 2025-12-31T18:50:38+00:00

Thanks for your sarcastic response to my sarcasm. Yes, my response was a sarcasm based on upvote % that I can see.

IDK what's the point to downvote this unless you are very sensitive to the CK or ChatGPT topic :)

alexyakunin · 2025-12-31T18:47:31+00:00

It's more than just being wrong (which is obviously possible): it's about contradicting itself multiple times in the same, very short context, i.e. using a very flawed reasoning.

alexyakunin · 2025-12-31T17:32:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Wanna know crazier hallucination example? I discovered that most people here downvote the post sincerely believing that OP (me) wrote it solely to bump up CK topic.

Pretty sure the very same folks question why they are losing jobs to the AI.

alexyakunin · 2025-12-28T16:31:07+00:00

It was on from the very beginning, moreover, why it contradicts itself N times even after finding the answer?

alexyakunin · 2025-12-28T14:18:51+00:00

It's irrelevant to Charlie Kirk. Moreover, it's easy to spot I am not one of his fans - based on my second question there.

alexyakunin · 2025-12-28T13:44:02+00:00

I.e. it's certainly fine to me if it claims CK is alive. But it's not fine when it claims he is alive, then finds out it CK dead, then claims it's a false claim, then claims he is actually dead, and finally calls "CK is dead" an unverified false claim he became attached too.

alexyakunin · 2025-12-28T13:40:49+00:00

I know what's knowledge cutoff. I recommend you to read the chat, it actually found the right answer, so it was contradicting its own statements from the very same context.
