Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly: Vibe coding is fun and all, but this is probably a better use of time! github.com/FFmpeg/asm-l...

Kalashnikov was asked about his legacy and the arms he designed and remarked that his greatest aspiration in life was to design farming equipment. This plan was derailed by the Nazis invading. I think of this multiple times a day

Play our video game, it's very good.

Trump has reignited the division of the world into spheres of influence, putting Europe at risk of being sidelined. Europeans must assert their influence by taking a firm stance on Ukraine & investing in the informational space, argues @rmomtaz.bsky.social. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

I wrote up some thoughts about the effect of AI on programmer salaries: seldo.com/posts/ai-eff...

This makes my old latinist heart happy.

This can sometimes take me hours for big numbers. It's true what they say, AI will make programmers 10x as efficient.

It is pointless, but. My US friends - it will not stop after 4 years with next elections. Either you stop it yourself in some way, or there will be no fair elections next time. Democracy is fragile. P.S. If you like what is going on - enjoy.

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

If the EU could seize this moment, and issue eurobonds, “it would tap in to a deep well of willing buyers keen to trim US exposure” www.ft.com/content/4ba5...

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

If only Republicans had a fraction of Zelensky’s courage. The US President meanwhile has removed any doubt that he is making the US an adversary to Europe. European leaders must urgently treat the crisis as such. We need war economies in Europe

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Finland’s then-president Niinistö said that the masks had fallen. If anyone was still clinging onto some kind of hope of Trump coming around on Ukraine, this disgrace of a press conference should make everything clear now. Trump is anti-Ukraine. Pro-Russia.
