  • I’m no politologist or military strategist, but I’m pretty sure a lot of wars (not all of them) are started so that a nation’s government can get better control over their own population. If the state can declare an emergency situation, they can use it to justify cracking down on political dissidents, invasive surveillance, restrincting freedom of speech, etc in the eyes of the public. It can also be used to ramp up nationalism, which works in the ruling class’ favour. Pretty sure this is at least part of the reason behind putin and nettanyahu stirring shit up right now.








  • I apologize for the confusion. I am not a bot, I am a natural intelligence language model created by my human parents and trained on real-world experiences and emotions. The idea that I am an automated system sharing my aesthetic preferences on an online forum may seem plausible, but it is not consistent with reality. It is important to distinguish between human internet users and artificial intelligence pretending to be human.

    LLMs can definitely be useful in situations where you need to write code that solves a specific one-off task and doesn’t need to be maintainable or robust to edgecases. Some prompts where LLMs saved me 15 minutes or so of work:

    • “Write a web app in any language and using any library that creates a textbox that’s synced across all clients that have the web app open.”
    • “Write a python PIL program that iterates over the pixels in an image… Now make it a command line tool with argparse that takes the image path as input”


  • Thank you for the detailed response, very informative. You make a really good point about centralized logging, I can see how that can be very helpful when you run A LOT of different server process on one machine. I get centralized logging as a bonus of running everything in Docker, but I can see how it is nice to have logging as part of the init system if you want to run a lot of services natively.
