I'm starting to think that russia is winning the cold war.

Wow. I didn't realise that Ukraine is so powerful.

Ukraine will receive a new batch of F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands in 2025. In addition to supplying more aircraft, the Netherlands will continue training Ukrainian pilots, engineers, and technicians.

Why we invented the word “gaslighting” to replace the simple “lie”?

Faster TS in Node.

Lesser known fact that Hitler’s main aim - to eradicate all jews - counted 11 million of expected executions. 3.5 million lived in Ukraine. Hence he attacked USSR. But he killed 5 million people in Ukraine. 1.5 - Jews. 3.5 - Ukrainians. Out of 6 million dead jews every third one lived in Ukraine.

Strikes on Russia have significantly impacted its army’s combat capabilities, says Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky. In just months, Russian artillery ammo consumption has nearly halved—from 40,000 rounds daily to much less. www.rbc.ua/rus/news/sir...

Our brains memorise much better during emotional moments. Hence we remember songs we love but not the mundane stuff like passwords.

That’s the reason I like dumb cars, not the smart feature saturated cars.

Kapustin Yar, known for the launch site of Russia's Oreshnik ballistic missile is under Ukrainian drone attacks.

As someone who knows the legislation a little more than an average Ukrainian, I must admit that the legislation is so far away. It will take a decade to align with the EU standards.

Ukraine’s GUR has achieved a world first by destroying an airborne target with a Magura V5 naval drone equipped with missiles. During a battle near Cape Tarkhankut, Crimea, R-73 short-range air-to-air missiles took down a Russian Mi-8, with another helicopter also hit. t.me/noel_reports...

Siri is still kinda dumb. I wish the ChatGPT app was the Siri. Siri didn’t understand me from several attempts (asked for a rice cooking recipe). But ChatGPT got what I wanted from the first attempt.

TIL: if I press and hold a notification on my iPhone it bring a menu of quick actions like Reply, Navigate, Add/Skip, Update, etc.

Kyiv yesterday and today. Merry Xmas from the person who’s wanted by ICC.

All these AI tools which generate code are good for throwaway projects. Because keeping knowledge about a product and all its features and architecture is something LLMs are not yet capable of. I wish to train an LLM on MY data and it to learn MY way of coding. Not some OSS it was trained on.

First time in my memory all the targets were shot down.

NATO countries could fully block Russia’s non-food exports via the Baltic and Mediterranean seas and thus force Russia to back off from Ukraine.

After having spent like 3 weeks almost exclusively doing my work on macOS, I’ve honestly come to like it, weirdly enough. Maybe because the OS is less of a shitshow than Windows 11…

"The russian economy is in ruins." In russia, they began to lay off IT workers on a massive scale. According to The Bell, VK, Sberbank, MTS and other large companies are laying off entire departments. /1

When a russian lies? When it speaks.

Fun fact. When do you think was the largest tank battle in history? WW1, WW2? Answer: happening now. Google: Pokrovsk battle

I’m surprised this video is not viral among IT engineers. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yup8...
