Here is Ted Postal w/Danny Davis telling us how poorly the Patriot Anti Missile System is a complete failure stopping at best 10% of incoming Iranian Missiles. The MIC like everything else in corporate amerika makes only junk
And here is Chris Hedges on the shitification of everything in amerika
“We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.”
I believe that that trigger will soon be pulled that brings us either to a civil war or just a plain revolution, Trump via Theil and the Neocons wants martial law somewhat following in the Zionist Israel steps
I heard via The YouTube-channel @Transition_Protocol that got ~60K subscribers in 3 weeks, with sources from like some deeply connected with the Iran War: Pakistani and Gulf-states, but Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson too, that Pakistan has a system (with China) that prevents the beheadings of politicians and such. They told them that assassinations in Switzerland were planned and that is why they went to a Qatari 'Castle' somewhere in the mountains. And surprisingly no Iranian leaders are hit lately either.
So, i assume the Chinese have an anti-Palantir AI system now.
Interesting site. Highly recommended as long as it lasts.
Being a construction tradesman, AI to me & my workmates is overhyped bullshit. No doubt there's many uses for in other areas I'm totally unaware of. But AI will never be able to do Bricklaying the carpentry work then plaster that wall for final decoration. That's creating a product that everyone can see & use. America a country that's built on bullshit, obviously overhypes AI. Like everything else American. There isn't an aspect of America today that isn't false or does what it's supposed to . Unless it's corruption.
well the F35 is a joke for the price. It's capabilities can be castrated online by the manufacturer, so for what is it goog. And AI, I find it boring when confronted with it. But better: It’s amazing to see the intuition, patience, dedication, imagination and love with which the boy does everything just right.
Yes, I thought the contrast between the boy getting it right and hi-tech getting it wrong was somehow important. We can do things right if, as you say, we have "intuition, patience, dedication, imagination and love"
1. GLM Series (by Zhipu AI / Z.ai)The Vibe: This is the closest direct competitor to Claude’s advanced "agentic" capabilities.Key Features: The latest flagship model, GLM-5.2, features massive context windows and excels at long-form reasoning. It handles multi-turn conversations fluidly in both languages.Best For: Multi-step workflows, app/web generation, and complex programming tasks where you need an AI to independently debug and execute.
2. Qwen Series (by Alibaba)The Vibe: Widely regarded as the powerhouse for general language modeling, translation, and open-source availability.Key Features: The Qwen 3 line handles mixed Chinese-English syntax flawlessly without losing stylistic nuances or tone.Best For: High-speed conversational tasks, complex logic, and specialized terminal-driven coding tasks via tools like Qwen Code.
3. Kimi Series (by Moonshot AI)The Vibe: An exceptionally polished user experience focused on deep research, reading long documents, and agent-like execution.Key Features: Models like Kimi K2 Thinking are built around chain-of-thought processing, allowing them to solve hard math, coding, and logical tasks using 200–300 sequential tool actions.Best For: Analyzing massive PDF transcripts, cross-referencing bilingual literature, and executing complex scientific or financial research.
Depending on the variant, one F-35 flight hour necessitates 4.5 to 7.5 hours of maintenance, so saying it only flies half the time is generous.
US sources report 120, but Iranian sources put the number of students killed north of 160.
We used to use the venerable F-5 as OPFOR, and they made a good impression. One report: “For the first three weeks of the test, the F-14's and F-15's were hopelessly outclassed and demoralized"; after adapting to qualities of the F-5 and implementing rule changes to artificially favor long range radar-guided missiles, "the F-14's did slightly better than breaking even with the F-5's in non-1 v 1 engagements; the F-15's got almost 2:1". A 2012 Discovery Channel documentary Great Planes reported that in USAF exercises, F-5 aggressor aircraft were competitive enough with more modern and expensive fighters to only be at small disadvantage in Within Visual Range (WVR) combat. According to AvWeb, the USMC in 2024 bought 22 retiring Swiss F-5s for $1.5m each for OPFOR, which is itself an interesting commentary on the state of the military art.
Maybe I'm thick. What differentiates open weights from OS? It was not clear to me unless, I suppose, the notion that a "weight" is a drag on explorative development?

I love the Hedges' quote. But why do we put up with it?
I believe that that trigger will soon be pulled that brings us either to a civil war or just a plain revolution, Trump via Theil and the Neocons wants martial law somewhat following in the Zionist Israel steps
But who really knows?
Thank you, Julian.

China needs to develop an english language friendly model similar to Claude. I would switch in a heartbeat.
I don't use it to code. Mostly for strategizing, writing and assisting me operate & optimize my online business.

nice article and nice video about the pray bird!
👍. Excellent article!!
