@SocraticEthics Hmmm, I have a hunch that this is a move that Trump didn't anticipate. He probably thought it's gonna take years for Ukraine to build their own production capacity?
If anyone has need for a real brainteaser these days, look no further:

Absolutely brilliant indie game, kudos to the developers ๐
@mpe Fellow editor of another "niche" journal (@jovi) here, and: yes. ๐

@overflo Mannerschnitten, Italian Edition? ๐ค Tomate Oregano? ๐
@jankusanagi at least Trump's dementia is so pronounced by now that he completely forgot what Putin told him before the NATO summit ๐คท

@ipaschke oooh, I didn't check on nethack in a while, nice to know that it's still being worked on ๐
@Lana Retroactively, of course. Problem is, that would result in Boris Johnson pooping on the street (OTOH, not much different than what he's been doing anyway).
@morganth thank you, now I have "Baby Shark" stuck in my head ๐
Chuck Norris doesn't have nightmares. Nightmares have Chuck Norris.
@lauren reminds me a lot of Matrix and their phone booths ๐ค
@vinterkarusell I'm in this post and I don't like it. ๐๐
@TabascoEye Based on what you mentioned, Alastair Reynolds and the Revelation Space series might be good ๐
P.S. According to some promo documents, the London city tank can accelerate at 1 m/sยฒ. A back-of-the-napkin calculation gives me an estimated weight of ~100 MT for the thing, which means that it would need a minimum peak power output of 50 GW to accelerate, assuming 100% efficiency ๐คฏ
(For comparison, the world's largest nuclear power station in Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, Japan, has about 8 GW. And in the movie, they're using a single coal-powered engine. Make of that what you will. ๐)
Mortal Engines (2018, Netflix).
After WW3, London essentially gets converted into a humongous tank (2.5 km long) that roams across Europe and gobbles up smaller towns. WTH?
That's the gist. There are some sub-stories about an undead robot, a power-crazed scientist with a superweapon, a love story, daddy issues, etc. but all of those take a backseat to the gargantuan city-tank (and the special effects).
Visually impressive, less so otherwise.
4/10.

@pndc I admit it's been a while since I used Python extensively, but I didn't feel like the standard library was particularly bad? Any specific parts youre thinking of?
@cryptohagen apparently the one thing LLMs are really good at is finding vulnerabilities in open-source code ๐
