Agreed, 31k is a joke, never heard of such a low number for this type of thing ever. I’m surprised it was that low.

Even 187k is very low compared to Europe, I’m pretty sure all European countries have it higher than that.

Dictators are established when someone is attacking or meddling in a country, which UK and US were genuinely doing from 1950s till now in Iran.

Current government is a product of western actions in Iran.

It’s short sighted. If in 1950s they left Iran alone, the IRGC would disappear a long time ago because their strong grip would not be needed nor justified.

But every western leader wants to record a win, and constant attacks further increases the required grip of the IRGC.

But the amount of tax we pay is because of inefficient, corrupt and incompetent government.

You refer to a period where we had constant war in Europe?

You literally posted an example of the opposite.

Americans go disinformation about all their previous wars, it’s just that they all hate Trump and have social media so they’re able to figure out what’s going on.

Americans acting like they have moral high ground is the staple of your international image, while in fact being a regular old Empire with everything that comes with it.

Do you count that AWACS as damaged or destroyed?

New comment by DrProtic in "Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait"

DrProtic — Mon, 18 May 2026 21:06:00 +0000

The thing is, Iran doesn’t need to. US maybe can defend their ships, but they can’t defend commercial ships well enough for them to resume regular operations. Even unsuccessful attacks would cause insurance to make it not possible.

Houthis closed their straight some years ago and US wasn’t able to do anything about that neither. And Houthis are nowhere near as capable as Iran.

US gambled on decapitation strike and failed.

New comment by DrProtic in "UAE to leave OPEC"

DrProtic — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 13:35:14 +0000

I see this as a temporary action to contain oil prices, orchestrated by the US.

I expect UAE to send signals that they will increase production considerably once situation allows.

Whenever oil prices surge or 10Y yield touches 4.4% we get some action to contain them.

You mean the chants they started saying after overturning the puppet regime US and UK installed through spying and meddling?

After they robbed them of their oil while they only wanted a deal the Saudi Arabia got but UK refused to give to Iran because UK was clinging to their imperialist influence?

The chant born after decades of oppression, spying, sanctions and assassinations?

Read a little history and you’ll understand better. It’s the UK who started the circle of problems and US expanded it.

You don’t need to attend the rally for your government to oppress another country, and you didn’t attend it because you weren’t the victim, Iran is.

And this comes from a person who has huge distain for governments not separate from religion.

None of your sources display any kind of evidence whatsoever.

Where are videos of police opening fire on protesters?

30K deaths and not a single video circling around? How’s that possible?

X-Ray? Really?!

All you posted is “report says”. Again, just like “report said” there were WMD.

That’s the thing, not everyone wants and values the model based on that. But I guess it works for you, and that benchmark achieves it.

I personally develop with very detailed spec, and I don’t want nothing more and nothing less compared to the spec.

I found 5.4/5.5 much better at following spec while Opus makes some things up, which aligns with your benchmark but that makes 5.4/5.5 better for me while worse for you.

Seems like benchmark for how good a model is for vibe coding.

Your prompt is extremely slim yet you score it on a bunch of features.

We have a lot of videos of protests in Iran yet no videos of mass killings whatsoever.

30k murders is the same as Iraq’s WMD but people are too gullible to see that.

I see how smart those bombs are in Iran and Lebanon, they are able to surgically destroy whole residential buildings.

That pelican you posted yesterday from a local model looks nicer than this one.
