At work I use gpt to give me snippets of code (not in my ide, I use neovim btw), check my stuff for typos/logical errors, suggest solutions to some problems, debugging. I was learning programming on my own in 2010s, and this is a lot faster than crawling over wikis/stackoverflow (albeit probably makes me dumber).

Anyone who says llm will replace programmers in 1-2 years is either stupid or a grifter.

Fair on both counts.

I would not risk travelling to russia as a resident of its neighbor, both because russia can send you to jail/trench, and because your residency can be easily revoked/not extended. Permanently living somewhere as a non-citizen is a vulnerable position, and getting a citizenship is often outside your control.

Thank you for going mask off so we can all block you 🙃

You need 10 years of residence before you can apply, and from what I hear from friends it’s not a sure thing. So you may be stuck living as a resident for much longer than that.

Is it fair to not being able to go see your relatives for years/decade+? I’d pay that price for getting out of russia (well I already am paying it, albeit not to Lithuania) doesn’t make it right tho.

But then again, as long as ru/br immigrants are still able to enter, live and obtain citizenship, can’t really be mad at the baltics they’re in a tough position.

It will be a big fucking fight, simply because that same ecosystem wasn’t built with power transition in mind. There’s no successor, no committee strong enough to fallback to, no independent power brokers.

The result is pretty much a coin toss, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for a better outcome.

Thanks for the link, I’ll def be more critical about it in the future.

I’ll still use it (for now) because as a no-nonsense customizable search engine its by far the best I’ve tried.

AI is proprietary black box software developed by the most hated big tech firms fueled by surveillance and data theft.

The fact that its disliked in fediverse is very logical.
