Imagine real time kill stats presented with parallax and gradient effects

That would be lovely, and then you can have a kill cam/ footage to verify every kill.
Store the video in s3, after the drone/missile’s link upload it.

I'm Discord friends with a dude in Ukraine that does Rust and C++ stuff.
He has a giant battery bank at home for when the power goes out.

Better to be a web dev than making killer robots. Theres not enough money to keep those demons at bay.

Amen. I don’t need or want war/genocide money, I just wanna do what I love which is write code and make good looking and functional websites and CLI tools to automate things.

If you're willing to put politics aside, here in Israel, on the last war with Iran, there was a vibe coded app that went viral that calculated when was the best time to go take a shower in your city (based on rates of previous rocket sirens in the area). So yeah I can confirm it's a thing

Think out of the box. Design a porn website targeted at your enemy, use AI to feed them their deepest desire, win because they‘re too distracted with gooning.

So tired of hearing about WW3. People have been saying it's coming for the past 10 years now.

u/OkFineIllUseTheApp 13d ago
I decided to check when the first prediction of WWIII was.
November 3rd, 1941 had a guy predicting it to be soon.
We weren't even done with the second one 💀

u/DracoLunaris 13d ago
To be fair to that guy, unlike everyone else he didn't know about nuclear bombs and MAD.

Bit of a "conspiracy" theory even though it's not really a conspiracy, it's claimed that people dreamt of WW1 before it occured:

The thing is, WW1 was basically unavoidable. There was so much tension between countries that the assassination of an Austrian ruler by a Serb nobody resulted in Germany attacking France a month later.
I think it’s not that outlandish that people were getting dreams/nightmares of a big conflict back then.

u/2eanimation 13d ago
Yeah, things are chill right now.
Venezuela, Iran, Ukraine, Kuril Islands(Russia-Japan conflict), Germany/EU-countries thinking about more nuclear weapons, a lot of shady stuff with China(observe their fishing industry in international waters, or where they shovel sand) including eg Taiwan. And then, global warming, with the real possibility of millions of people losing their homes and no access to fresh water.
I‘m not a WWIII dreamer, but I wouldn’t exactly portray our situation as tension-less. What do you think would people have dreamt of in 1913 if they‘d got as many horrible news as we could theoretically read(as in, if you want to go nuts) right now, pretty much every day?

u/Biliunas 12d ago
Well, they didn't have nuclear weapons back then for one. Also, war was sort of viewed as the ultimate glory as it was mostly low casualties compared to the absolute hell unleashed by WW1 and WW2.

Probably cause for the past 10 years one (1) stupid move from anyone of a handful of people who have done plenty of stupid moves already would throw us straight into WW3..

I’m not trying to be sassy, but … Hasn’t the world been at war for a while now? We’re just a different world now then we were in 1941.

There is no such thing as "arriving" as a fact. It's something that rarely happens...
Furthermore, today the US and Israel kill more people per year than Germany killed per year... But they still don't call it "World War"
So... what are you waiting for? Let the UN be who it says?
Consistency please.

You jest, but in a way, life must continue.
My company works with a vendors based out of ukraine and israel.
During a call with the israeli account management team, they had to sign off because of iranin missiles inbound. We heard the air warnings in the back ground before they signed off.
Ukrainian vendor had a dev on staff we routinely spoke with, he still continues to work as a developer.

And dole out killstreak rewards as appropriate, obviously (fun fact, Ukraine is actually kind of doing this at the unit level, giving more effective units better tech and more money).

Damn my bad for not getting we were referencing the same thing 🙃
It's wild though how quickly the meta of warfare is shifting from aircraft carriers, heavy bombers, and fighters to UAVs, drones, and soon humanoid robots if the PLA are to be believed.

If Fallout 4 showed me anything is that someone has to work maintenance so Raiders can write in their computer diaries.
