Well that is not how anyone is doing agentic coding though. That sounds like just a worse version of traditional coding. Most people are building test suites to verify correctness and not caring about the code

War crimes have never been anything more than a way the west can punish its enemies. It’s hilarious people think this norm continuing is some refutation of the system as designed.

That would change if there was any perception that a carrier could be lost. At the moment such things are theoretical

It hasn’t. There hasn’t been a war in centuries where America didn’t obliterate its opponent. It loses politically because its people don’t want war, but it’s defeated militarily everyone it’s engaged with.

Yes absolutely they would and insurgencies are not the same thing as two nations fighting each other. America has twice as many gun owners as there are people in Afghanistan, a large chunk of them have combat experience.

That is not the primary purpose of LinkedIn though. It is used extensively by a class of people who are generally decision makers and those selling services to them.

No study of ai can ever be done or be relevant because ever couple of months they are a new number to the name of the model thus invalidating all work around model behavior

Mass immigration may not have effected you but it did greatly effect millions in the blue collar and service labor market and generally speaking was a human rights nightmare for millions of people who were trafficked, exploited and abused by a system of corrupt politicians, NGOs and crime organizations. What’s “worse” is irrelevant when it depends entirely on who you ask

I’ve done Chinese style fermentation which just goes forever, you add more veggies in as you take them out, and it calls for adding vodka every month or so. Wine should be fine

I’ve never been able to get a good rise out of sourdough. I make bread all the time, make sauerkraut beer etc and my starter doubles in size but when making bread it just never works
