iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This! I try to never speak about "decoupled systems" but rather about the quality of their coupling. You can couple systems in ways that make their evolution easier, or in ways that make it harder and problematic. Don't ignore the coupling, but understand it with its advantages and its limitations.

I always wonder if everyone in Russia looks like this, this stuff is expensive! I guess however, that the influencers making videos of themselves talking dramatically at the camera are likely at the same time the most assiduous users of these "beauty" treatments.

1/ The destruction by Ukrainian drones of two of Wildberries' massive warehouses near Moscow is a huge disaster for the Russian economy, which will inflict far more damage than the headline $1.2 billion loss of stock. Here's why. ⬇️

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not with you with whom I have an issue, moreover, I'm sure we are on the same side. I still believe we should call things by their right names and answering to your post just felt appropriate.

No, she's not hallucinating at all. She's a propagandist, that is, a cunning manipulator who's shamelessly lying in order to push a particular story. Saying she's hallucinating would allow for the possibility of she being well meaning but deluded. This is for sure not the case!

Russia's latest batch of fake news posts targets parties in Germany from the far-left to centre-right, but stopping short of the far right, for obvious reasons. Note the very similar numbers of replies, views, and reposts, signs of bot networks boosting the post, but little to none real engagement.

This is an attempt to shift the costs for air defense from the national budget to the regional ones. They'll do their best to deplete the country of its wealth before they give up, and, in so doing, they'll turn everything into a wasteland without Ukraine having to drop a single bomb.

On the one hand, in 30+ years programming computers, I never needed the calculus or the differential equations. On the other hand, optimization was a rather common need and the theory of algorithms helped a lot. That's a form of math I still find very relevant.

Even in such an (I'd say) unusual case, my point applies: the "planning" phase of such a project will be like building any other software, that is, very hard to estimate. So software (at least as usually built) is comparable to design, not to construction.

000

Martín Soto @msoto.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Another way of looking at this: writing software is more comparable to designing the bridge than to building it. When you build the bridge, you already have a detailed design, which you follow exactly. This phase simply doesn't exist for software.

I'm not trying to weaken your position. In fact, I feel very uneasy about this kind of thing and would only say to everyone : "hear, hear!". I doubt, however, that most of those celebrating Trump's infirmity would do it with other people. This situation is quite special and we shouldn't ignore it.

Martín Soto @msoto.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I really appreciate your point. What I think when I see people reacting this way, though, is "live a life such that people don't feel like celebrating when they see you in this state".

The following two tables are excellent analysis conducted by an OSINT Japanese blogger, who I fear is not on blue sky. They cover AD batteries and radars counted via satellite imagery & associating with Oryx data. The latter being only visually confirmed, this points to nasty conclusions for rascia

An example would help me understand what you mean. I find plenty of opinions in The Atlantic that I don't agree with, either partially or at all. So far, however, I don't remember anything I would classify as written in bad faith (say, in order to mislead or manipulate).

I'm also a subscriber, and curious about your opinion. What's bad about the articles you mention? Poorly written or edited? Incorrect or incomplete information? Inconsistent argumentation? I could keep going but hopefully you get the idea.

1/ In January 2026, Ukraine reported killing 34,000 Russian soldiers – on average 1,096 a day, or 7,846 per week. Thousands of Ukrainians have likely died in the same period. Last month in Ukraine was much bloodier than the average monthly death toll at Auschwitz. ⬇️

I would say a "like" in this case means you agree with "Russians tying mice to a war drone is, like many of their actions, abhorrent and despicable"; not with "I love what I'm seeing in the picture". To like the second message, you'd need to separate the picture and post it with a different text.
