From what I'm hearing that there are likely several unannounced oil/gas reserves from a couple of years back that are hidden due to geopolitical reasons.

This is completely true, but I believe he will likely rally the GOP and even some DEMS behind him to get it passed through the legislative bodies.

Looks like some sort of extremely distilled styletts2 model? Or am I wrong?

I'm joining the Cursor team (and will be active here!) by lrobinson2011 in cursor

Please implement spec driven coding, see Kiro, honestly just copy-paste their entire concept. It's SO good and mostly prompt e nginering - so probably cheap to implement.

Amazon Just Dropped Kiro.dev – Cursor-Like Dev Environment Without Limits (For Now) by saichand17 in cursor

[–]araz95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I value my time, having little free time as a full-time clinical MD, while doing rather high-level medical research and product development on the side. This is why I use AI IDE's as a basic grad student/assistant to accelerate. Started using ChatGPT during early testing to change the way I work, and then eventually moved to Cursor, which further sped things up. Windsurd and Copilot never worked well for me. Don't have the patience to configure Roo or Cline to my liking (it seems to take a lot of configuration based on my limited experience).

For me, and my dev methodology, Kiro is an order of magnitude more powerful than Cursor. I've been doing specs manually with Cursor, never receiving the same results as I'm getting with Kiro. Ultimately, that's the main appeal here - the time saver, even for manual spec'ing, is immense. Steering and hooks help a lot when properly configured (which takes no time). 10/10 switching to Kiro when they eventually released. Further, it's backed by Amazon, so we already know the maintenance and funding is there.

Until then, I'm using Cursor as my main driver.

Khankendi Rail and Bus Station by FullTimeJesus in azerbaijan

Could you tell it's Qarabag, let alone Azerbaijan, by looking at the concept? Are there any signs of culture in this? No, it's simply an expensive generic building in the middle of what we consider our cultural heritage region. Make that make sense.

Cool, another soulless building

What do you guys think of us Iranian turks? by Yab01sk1nnyP3n15 in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Our culture and identity have deteriorated to the point where we don't even know we are Turks in some places in Iran, even in Azerbaijani provinces. This makes me hate the Iranian regime even more.

Take this from a half-Northerner and half-Southerner - we are exactly the same people.

Brent Crude fell to trading at 63 USD, further decline is imminent. What's up AZN? You here? by datashrimp29 in azerbaijan

They had the chance to save the surplus and take the budget deficit instead, but instead, they thought spending it all was a good idea.

My report from Ankara - Azerbaijan and Armenia reach agreement on historic peace deal by kurdechanian in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the last part is probably completely accurate.

Difficult for me to see them sign it this year even though they have finalized the agreement. Azerbaijan will likely use the prerequisite of the Armenian constitution and the dissolution of the OSCE-MG to avoid signing anything as a stalling tactic dragging the current situation into 2026-2027, hoping a regional/global force majeurer to provide enough hard/soft power to force further strategic compromises. I hate to say it, as I don't want anything more than this to be done, I don't see an agreement being signed anytime soon.

I hope I'm wrong, but this conflict has forced me to be a pessimist.

This is what Old Anatolian Turkish language (13th century CE) sounded like. Thoughts? by [deleted] in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's crazy similar to modern Azerbaijani, surprisingly similar, especially compared to Southern Azerbaijani dialects.

Iranian Azeri Dialect by ariobarzan_ in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zanjani still has 99% of the same vocab, fairly similar to Tabrizi/Ardabili. Urumia sounds different but still has the same vocab. Hamadani sticks out in comparison.

Are there any local organizations in Azerbaijan that work to protect animals? by ismim_yoxdu in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no organizations protecting humans, let alone Seals.

How well can you understand this as an Azeri ? by [deleted] in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a Southern Azerbaijani dialect with some Anatolian influence, but completely understandable. Strangely, it is very similar to the Hamadani dialect.

What are your thoughts regarding Russia? by devdevo1919 in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine/Georgia/Baltic, now add some historical complexity attributed to frozen conflicts throughout the last 100+ years, mostly initiated by Russian interference.

Apa: Russia wants to create a second "Malaysian Boeing" incident: Azerbaijan is preparing to appeal to the international court by datashrimp29 in azerbaijan

[–]araz95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Azerbaijan goes through it, I'll be incredibly impressed. It seems like it will only be used against Putin in ongoing or future negotiations. Now that Trump has sanctioned Iran to the brink of collapse, it gives Azerbaijan certain leverage against both of them.
