Edit: in case my comment doesn't make sense, the parent comment originally asked why the US doesn't try to topple Russia. Parent edited comment after my reply.
It is, along with NATO. The invasion of Ukraine is being managed in a way that bleeds Russias economic and war fighting power without escalation of the conflict to other states.
Ukraine is being spoon-fed arms and support just enough to keep them able to attrit Russia without ending the conflict until Russia is exhausted. Once Putin stuck his foot in the bear trap, there is no way he can turn back and retain power/life. I’m sure he’d love to have backed out in the first few weeks while it was still possible at this point.
It’s great for the region and for NATO, but it trades Ukrainian blood for NATO interests. Obviously Zelenskyy knows the play by now, but he and the Ukrainian people are between a rock and a hard place. It’s tragic for them, but there is a little hope at least of having earned a seat at the table if they survive. My heart (and donations) goes out to the Ukrainian people.

your donations go straight into the pockets of the elites. You need to be an idiot to think you are helping by sending money, unless you are sending it to your relatives.
Idk, I’ve bought some gear for a couple of the units, stuff like that. I don’t see it going to the pockets of the elites, though I suppose it might be an elaborate scam to resell the gear they are asking for. Doesn’t seem like it though.
Hyperion is awesome. Each story could be its own novella but especially the priest's tale. I also loved the consul's tale. I haven't read the rest yet because I am unsure how the story will go without that structure as I wasn't too invested in the space politics, but I hear it is good. Also if you haven't read, The Terror by Dan Simmons is also great and strikes historical/horror like I feel hyperion does scifi/horror
I sometimes wish that other types of fiction were as easy to read (for me) as sci-fi. I devoured all 6 books of Dune. Loved Hyperion with the canterbury tales structure and the politics - I already know I’m going to like the second book.
I must check The Terror, thank you for the pointer. I have also the Neuromancer waiting for me to eat my literary veggies.
I feel an urge to build personal local AI bots that would be personal spam filters. AI filtering AI, fight fire with fire. Mostly because the world OP wants is never coming back. Everything will be AI and it's everywhere.
I also feel an urge to build spaces in the internet just for humans, with some 'turrets' to protect against AI invasion and exploitation. I just don't know what content would be shared in those spaces because AI is already everywhere in content production.
Those can be useful, but not really against LLM content. Though neither do I think an LLM-based filter could actually reliably detect LLM-based content.
Honestly, I’ll take that big fat raspberry. Our website is made in Hubspot and that poses all sorts of limitations. I deeply regret that. So yes.. workarounds unfortunately
Thanks for testing. Please do share feedback.
Windsurf is crucially important to us as we’re working with their team to make the experience good. Would you mind sending any feedback to Jaime at Codacy.com?
Hi there. Yes, the extension, the cli and the MCP server are open source.
The local analysis can run locally in a sandboxes environment (provided you download the dependencies and tools etc).
Only if you want to then use our cloud scans, or let your coding agent interact with data from Codacy, then you’d need the MCP server connecting to our API.
Edit: I fully understand the deterrents. I'm making the case that attacking for the sake of 'liberty for all' is a farce.
