*bong rip* you know what would make bots ~~vanish~~* tolerable? eye-devouring shitcoin-based authentication scheme (illegal in EU)

Command detonated mines don't fall under Ottawa treaty, so you might have had them (these are both claymore-type and OZM72-type)

it also helps if your air defense network doesn't collapse immediately because it turns out that in order to guard these nukes you need also regular capable conventional military

Neither Ukraine or Russia are on that list, and a couple of countries that do have a possible defensive war against Russia in mind withdrew from that treaty. That and Ottawa treaty (banning AP victim-triggered landmines)

Yeah, who else. Nuking Dresden at that point would be useless

you don't have to choose a side and you can wish everyone involved a very nice visit to hague

either that, or nukes would be used first in korean war instead. imo it's a good thing that nukes were first used against the most cartoonishly evil fascist state imaginable at that point

oh no what will we do, the open source leaded gasoline was released. the genie is out of the bottle, even if you ban it you'll still have people using it locally

You don’t read books for that though. Does this person think books are just sequences of facts you’re supposed to memorise?

I think i have something shaped like counterexample. Large literature reviews and compilations of data tables and such can work like this, and grepping them will get you a feel what is possible and a single practical example per, but even then you're supposed to read them in order to get not only what is possible, but also what is not (or at least what wasn't tested) and what fails and how and why. Actually reading through also gives you a bigger picture and allows for drawing your own conclusions ofc like you notice

Don’t you ever read something and go “oh, I never even thought about this”, “I didn’t know this was a problem”, “I wouldn’t have thought of this myself”. If not then what the fuck are you reading??

even then feeding them to chatbot is valleybrain nonsense because grep will be more than enough and much faster, and you naturally know what's inside only after reading it

even then, just having right snippet is not enough because presumably result would be only apparent after testing irl, or perhaps building a model or simulation or what have you. even then, getting to the point where you need to do any of that requires degree of curiosity and ability to put information from different sources together that would exclude promptfondlers. it's like these people try on purpose to think as little as possible
