it's the difference between how they're gonna use it vs how similar parts are normally used no-one thinks of a building as opex, but gets depreciated anyway normally no one thinks of a computer as opex -- but if you run it for mining? yeah not the same similarly, an SSD has an expected lifetime

i know it is shitty woke 1.0 type shit but sometimes when I want to refer to "Americans" in a explicitly derogatory fashion using "Amerikkkans" is undefeated.

dunno, donation-wiser France did some real good -- note that they donated materiel and sold other at true-value, unlike the USA which sold old stuff [like an M1A1 tank from the 80s] at replacement price [the M1A1-B2 off the factory floor which replaced the donated tank] many don't account for this

yeh, kinda true; ideally they'd run punitive taxation on them too... but recently who was it, France? that's the bit I don't get, gotta pass wealth taxes if they're selling golden visas: tax 5yrs before allowing naturalisation. and it's a massive drain on the finances backing the war

hold up a minute, what do you mean Spain's ignoring the KGB threat? they've rearmed like crazy specifically because of the current thing

... you do know Portugal has been running CAPs over [i think] Finland, could've been Estonia but i'm almost sure it's Finland old rickety helicopters, but one of those smaller south europe countries i know of is there too

died on the vine, even after the overwhelming majority of IRA 1 ended up invested into the red counties looking at overall stats re: employment here is hiding who wins/loses: like saying the economy is doing great without looking at distribution breakdowns

moreover, this is an active issue in the USA today -- a big legitimate gap are right-wingers in the left-behind counties: they Do Not Trust any protests from the Coastals that suitable re-training will ever be provided that's why Biden 's 2nd and 3rd tranches of the masqueraded green-transition IRA

if you're already using non-silly-valley models, you're 2 short steps from also using a 3rd party harness and whether any of them helps you, since you have a good established workflow-to-result mapping/expectation at which point you're not paying SV their tithes for the machine god

the other bit yday folks were talking about collapsing those cycles a bit: bsky.app/profile/lizt... i think that's where the current state of the art barrier is: actually bringing more of the cycle within the agent-loop

Luis @lbruno.org · 29/09/2026

you want a couple of concepts: ferd.ca/software-acc... coding agents aren't [yet!] being used across a whole cycle; folks at best increase the velocity of those 3 code-review-deploy bits the rest is not agent-speed yet, it's like “a Jira came in” or “canary failed” intermediary non-agent step
