i hate dario's politics, but i still find claude's eco system easier to use. Design/Artifacts is very convenient for people like me who has zero UI/UX expertise, and claude code's remote session works seamlessly on ios with a well-design client interface while you have to deal with ssh and typing in cli with your iphone keyboard if you are using opencode/omp etc

What people don't know is that China's "war" against Vietnam in 1979 was actually a pledge of allegiance to the United States, a way of demonstrating its stance.

This event was followed by the longest honeymoon period in Sino-US relations, which eventually lead to China's rise.

i'm also influenced by claude every single day with its constant preaching about certain values.

> This is absolutely nothing compared to what China did to the Uyghurs

which is absolutely nothing compared to what they did to Gaza.

While willingly handing your data to american labs. Surely sounds so based.

So either you openweight it, or not. Neither is good for other countries, according to this logic.

in the netherlands trains are usually too noisy to focus on anything unless it’s a silent car or 7am.

understandable that people might have fears like this since this happens a lot in the west in my own experience, but in china you can always argue with them and the customer service is usually way better, or you can drop the nuke by reporting to the authorities.

surprised I had to scroll this far to find someone actually pointing this out. This kind of acquisitions are alarming, to say the least.

And the air conditions in Chengdu and Chongqing are getting worse with the recent smog making the headlines, despite also one of the highest EV adoption rates in western China. Being able to mandate factory shutdown surely helps for Beijing, but is unfortunately not the case in other chinese cities

Funny how no one listens to real Venezuelans speaking. As a chinese I understand you fully. Everyone hates dictators, but sometimes the alternative isn’t just necessarily better as people might hope. Transition is gonna be long and painful.
