Putin needs war and has no intention of stopping. All of Russia’s contradictory and spurious statements to different audiences are distractions and should be ignored. Watch what he does, not what he says.
Появляется всё больше подробностей об интриге Путина, с расчётом на реализацию которой он согласился возобновить переговоры между США, Украиной и РФ. В Кремле начали говорить, что Европа должна быть включена в этот процесс и, более того, её участие будет иметь «решающее значение для достижения соглашения». Источники издания The Telegraph говорят, что истинная цель Москвы — использовать следующий раунд переговоров для получения уступок по вопросу расширения НАТО. «Вероятно, Путин потребует сократить военное присутствие НАТО в Европе до уровня 1997 года — то есть до того, как бывшие страны Восточного блока начали вступать в альянс», — говорится в публикации. По сути, это возвращение к тому самому печально известному «ультиматуму Лаврова», который Москва выдвинула накануне большой войны против Украины. Именно тогда Кремль потребовал «собирать манатки» и уходить из Восточной Европы. Это очередное подтверждение того, о чём я уже неоднократно писал. Путин хочет продолжать войну, а переговоры он будет торпедировать хождением по кругу, постоянно возвращаясь к своим безумным требованиям образца 2021–2022 годов. Западу он будет рассказывать о недопустимости расширения НАТО, украинцам — морочить голову «денацификацией и демилитаризацией», выдвигая всё новые территориальные и политические требования. Читать безграмотные лекции о половцах и печенегах и бесконечно лгать.

You misspelled “Russia”.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Is this true @elonmusk - and if so, why did you slow it down?
NEW: Trump called Musk and asked him to lift restrictions on a military-grade version of Starlink in Ukraine that the SpaceX chief had throttled, U.S. officials said. The system was working more normally Thursday, shortly after their conversation, per Us and Ukrainian officials

You can’t spell Witkoff without WTF.
WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say. You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a “humanitarian.”

President Zelensky refusing to surrender 20% of his country to Russia is not an “obstacle.” Russia demanding 20% of Ukraine is. You’re welcome. And #SlavaUkraïni

Yes I did. @EmmanuelMacron is a castrated ladyboy. He would surrender France to three young boys waiving a baguette as a sword.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov tells RFE/RL Putin is set on “liquidating Ukraine” and will not make concessions. Slamming a proposed US deal to buy Russian diesel, Kasparov said that if Ukraine wins the war Putin will fall -- giving a chance for democracy in Russia. rferl.org/a/kasparov-says-ta…

Unfair to Chamberlain, Mr. Congressman! He didn’t know what was going to happen and acted for peace in good faith. He didn’t embrace a fascist dictator and his deadly expansionism. We have Chamberlain's terrible mistake to learn from. I’m afraid Trump comparisons now lie within the Axis.

Wir brauchen schnell europäische Satelliten, die jeden russischen Raketenstart erkennen und ein europäische Konstellation, die bei der Konnektivität Starlink ersetzt. Das muss das Geld hin, statt die Abhängigkeiten von den USA noch zu vergrößern.
Wir sind in Europa wieder einmal in einer schwierigen akuten Lage, weil Trump gegen unsere Interessen arbeitet, wir aber weiterhin sehr abhängig von ihm sind. Wir investieren gleichzeitig zu wenig unserer Verteidigungsausgaben darin, eigenständiger handlungsfähig zu werden.

Hamas massacres anyone suspected of disloyalty—no trial, no evidence, no justice. They snatch people off the streets and execute them. If Muslims and so-called anti-Zionists who terrorize the Western world by shutting down streets, blocking roads, and disrupting daily life actually cared about human lives in Gaza, they would protest Hamas—the ones who started the war on October 7, refused to release the hostages to end it, and still refuse to disarm so they can launch the next October 7 massacre. Meanwhile, anyone in Gaza who may oppose them is executed.

We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There won’t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea. The United States isn’t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. It’s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring. From remarks at the Warsaw Security Forum. (2)

So I was trying to understand why pull requests speeding up the Elixir version were being denied by the clankers while they were being accepted to Go/Express/Rust. It turns out that, not only each project had a different starting point and a different prompt, but also each project also has a different set of verifications that they are required to pass! For example, Elixir is the only guided to "preserve the pinned Rails reference behaviour", the only with a explicit verification that we are using Redis and draining its queue (so we cannot remove it while others can), and the only one actively enforcing it. So it turns out that the people telling you to not read the code cannot even use AI to set up fair benchmarks (probably because they would have to read the code in order to do that). You don't have to believe me, you can do your own research or ask your agent to do it for you. E.g. here is what Claude Code came back with: gist.github.com/josevalim/ae…
Replying to @dhh
Also extracted a separate verification project that's responsible for the benchmarking and checking of new implementations and improvements to the existing ones. The full report from the latest runs is there too. github.com/basecamp/once-cam…

It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.
The Trump/Putin deal gets worse. According to reports, the US was also offering $100 billion of frozen assets (that are in the custody of the EU) in exchange for a limited ceasefire. kyivpost.com/post/86720
