I wonder when/if places like vietnam will ever achieve this.

Hell, Australia still has WW2 mines.


France still has WWI unexploded ordnance, and keep-out areas are still being de-mined. This has been going on for a century now. About 900 tons of explosives are removed each year. Completion in 700 years at the current rate.[1]

That is mind blowing, no pun intended.

Does Australia have any landmines? I was under the impression that we had some areas with sea mines which had been swept but still weren't guaranteed safe, and that was it.

There are an estimated one to two million mines in the Korean DMZ. Emplaced by both the South and North Koreans since the 1950s. There is no possibility all those mines are mapped properly. And most of them are not the self-disabling/destroying kind. It will take generations to clear.

I imagine a lot has to do with motivation. Canada has UXO that it doesn't clean up as land is abundant.

Is that actual land mines or generic lost explosives and unexploded bombs?

Cause the latter is pretty common in Europe too, but I'm surprised you have actually minefields which haven't been cleared up in Australia.


This feels like a perfect use case for AI.

how AI would help?

Robots or drones with ground penetrating radar?

And because of this i'll obviously opt to not subscribe to a Claude plan, when i can just use something like Copilot and use the models that way via OpenCode.

how comparable are the usage limits?

you're telling me the guy isn't committing 1000 times a day manually?!


Where is your agent committing that many times?

he commits every other minute. it's clearly just his vibecoding agent.


And if only 1 out of 100 people are doing that he's driving as a 100x dev

hmm, i wonder how long it would take nowadays actually


I've got no interest in Claude Code or Codex, I'm an OpenCode user. But this does look neat.


only europe and the us. but im in japan :(


The EU shop seems to ship to JP. It's almost 20€, so you might want to add something else to the basket.

I guess that you'll need to do customs paperwork (or maybe not, can't remember how Japan does with custom duties on items of small price)


why does everyone keep making this exact same thing again and again


hey! a local designer. this looks great.
