Comment "Nvidia's encrypted" what? (Score 1) 56

Since when does a hardware manufacturer own the servers? Or which particular Nvidia model is Apple interested in running on? Or why would google need anything, but own TPU chips that nowadays can do training, let alone, inference? I thought "get paid for mentioning nvidia" was a conspiracy theory, but here we go again...

Comment I think we need more lesbian writers (Score 2) 102

I think we need more lesbian writers and lesbian characters. I also want to see not just blue and pink hair, but more colors, e.g. I don't recall a single movie with green haired progressive-like outlook. On the other hand, space female homosexuals conceiving babies with lesbian spells was amazing. Please do more of that. And whatever happened with Witcher series - is simply stunning. All that was achieved with mere 18-30% of the writers being lesbian. Imagine the heights that we can reach with 50%.

Comment Anecdotal, but don't see the value of Opus (Score 1) 51

DGAF about benchmarks, I recall germini beat GPT and that Chineze bazinga also performed "very well" on paper. My personal hall of fame: Sonnet - a good work horse, might act a bit silly at times, but works very well if you are setting the context boundaries well. GPT (generic) - a more capable at cracking the harder tasks. (e.g. "let's grab Oracle driver in go and patch it to get to streaming blobs). I find Sonnet's code to be more readable. Opus - I don't get the hype. 3x cost... for what? When Sonnet got stuck, GPT and (a more rare event, but it happened) Gemini could do it better.

About "something useful".

I am using GPT-5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 at work in copilot agent mode.

What these f*cks can code based on barely coherent statements is scary levels of shockingly good.

E.g. oracle to postgres migration utility written in go, with plan/migrate/verify, blob chunking (ai agent has patched existing go lib for that!) and what freaking not.

My role was mostly splitting the tasks into smaller ones.

What I see free versions do is not even remotely close to the premium model capabilities, so that, perhaps, misleads people.

It is not simply useful, it is a new fucking era.

>According to my college professor, in the 1950's US engineers didn't bother to check russian publications on any subject, because they, just like you, thought that they were ignorant peasants that had nothing to contribute. Therefore they were completely ignorant about Lyapunov's developments. The thing is that Lyapunov's stability was a key advantage that allowed the soviets to beat the US in launching the first satellite into orbit. Only then, Kalman and others began to read their papers.

Oh dear, Ruzzist bovine faces on slashdot, color me surprised.

Tsiolkovski's stuff was ahead of time, but rather trivial physics that, nowadays, can be done by schoolchildren..

Did you decide to mention Lyapunov because Tsiolkovski was not ethnic Russian? Oh well. Anyway, what Lyapunov did was in a generic math field, not specific to space. He got noticed and published abroad. Hardly "unknown".

USSR has managed to win the "first man in space" race only when US tried to suppress von Braun.

It was behind before that event, as well as after.
