All the western ones are closed while all the Chinese ones are open. The only exception is the European Mistral but performance of that model is not very satisfactory. Hopefully they make some improvements soon

Well you can't run Gemini Pro or Opus 4.6 locally so are you comparing a locally run model to cloud platforms?

There was a clip of one of Iran's missiles dodging 3 Patriot interceptors to hit the US base in Bahrain. I realized I just watched $12m wasted for nothing in less than 5 seconds.

That's your money that's being Squandered yet you have no say in the decision to wage this war, nor your representative.

There was an election in 2024.

Between those currently in power, and those whose current leader (as senator minority leader).. is a known cheerleader of wars with Iran.

Wait are you saying Schumer was going to make Harris invade Iran?

This is the kind of brainrot that lets people like Trump get into power in the first place. Removing all agency from the American people by pretending that "both sides are the same". It's just pathetic.

You have built yourself a safe little cocoon, protected from the messy imperfect reality of the world, where sometimes you have to make compromises and you don't always get what you want.

So ? People didn't vote to spend billions on Israel wars.

Trump said he was against wars, that 2003 Irak war was a mistake, yet he's once again trying to make another country change government by dropping bombs on them.

Polls show that a majority of Americans are against that war.

What more do you want to understand that Americans didnt vote for it and are against it.

Sorry, how are free and fair elections not democracy?

These people are here to either sow dissent between American citizens and the American government, or have been influenced by those whose goal is to sow dissent between American citizens and the American government. Qatar can not take on the US with military power, so they use soft power and "influencers".

Don't worry, Chuck Schumer has asked Trump for an explanation for why he's conducting new wars.

Link?

It looks like the interceptors hit it, but missile was only damaged and not destroyed.

No one's a perfect shot: the misses aren't waste, because some misses should be expected.

They're wasted because none of this had to happen.

They are not supposed to intercept ballistic missiles anyway,it's THAAD's job

So are 80 schoolchidren at a primary school

The count is now over 165

Actions like these often lead to unions. Look into the history of how the Kickstarter union came to be.

It often starts as collective action in response to a blatant disregard for the values of the workers

Before you leave a comment about how meaningless this is unless they do XYZ,

please realize that there's likely a group chat out there somewhere where all of these concerns have already been raised and considered. The best thing you can do is ask how you as an outsider can help support these organizers

it's the first step towards actually organizing. Reminds me of how the Kickstarter union came to be

Any collective action should be encouraged

close enough, here's a map of superfund sites

They've already spent millions on the name change. It's also the original name of the department. IMO it's a more honest name

It doesn't matter how much they've spent, nor what you think. Renaming it requires congressional approval, which they have not gotten.

Try Kimi 2.5

I have (through openrouter.) It didn't change my opinion.
