100%, Cockpit is what you’re looking for OP.

Locally? You’d need a VERY powerful GPU to really be able to match the capabilities of Opus 4.6 online. I’ve played around with this stuff for the same reasons and while you can absolutely run a model with all of Claude’s capabilities offline, very few people will have the hardware to let it actually run at an acceptable speed and with a sufficient context window. That last part is the most important thing for coding because it’s what allows the model to operate across an entire project and not just a few functions at a time.

Iranian state media, quoting military sources, reported that two F-35I Adirs were intercepted and downed by Iranian air defense units during or immediately after their bombing run on targets near Natanz and other strategic installations. One of the pilots, described as a female aviator, was allegedly captured after ejecting over Iranian territory. Iranian Press TV wasted no time in proclaiming this as a global first: “Iran has earned the distinction of being the first country in the world to successfully shoot down fifth-generation fighter jets belonging to the Zionist regime.”

Hmm, looks like you’re right. That specific image wasn’t actually circulated by an official Iranian source.

I’ll admit I missed that, because it was so consistent with all of the other messaging coming out of Iran. The image circulated at a time where - with zero evidence to the effect, and a lot of evidence to the contrary - Iran was claiming to have shot down something like four or five Isreal F-35’s. As far as any independent observers can tell the actual number was zero. Then there’s the current conflict where Iran took videos of a wrecked F-15 and claimed it was an F-35, among other obvious lies.

I’ll freely grant you that specific case; we all get caught out sometimes. But you’re the one trying to argue that Iran, a nation with a long history of proven blatant falsehoods in their official messaging, are some kind of paragons of truth. That doesn’t mean that the US doesn’t also lie like crazy. A lot of nations do. It just means you’re in idiot if you go buying into this teenage morality idea that “US bad = Iran good.” They’re an autocratic regime that lies reflexively… Just like the Trump administration. Anything they say has to be treated with a baseline level of suspicion, and it’s absurd to argue otherwise.

They once posted a photo of a “crashed F-35” that was so obviously AI generated that there were people the size of garden gnomes walking around the cockpit area.

I get what you’re trying to go for here, yes, a lot of what we know about Iran is filtered through Western propaganda, but it’s also true that they lie, and badly, all the time. America being bad didn’t make the Iranian regime good.

Russia isn’t even close to total militarization. Not yet. Their economy is becoming highly militarized, and you’re right that that’s how they’ve been surviving the sanctions, but their focus is still on keeping the more affluent Russians in the cities supplied with fast food, electronics and gas. They’re trying to make life seem normal despite the strain of the war. Being able to dispense with those niceties would open up a lot more room for applying their industrial capacity.

I dunno… What worries me is that Putin’s ability to escalate is constrained right now, because Ukraine is seen more as military adventurism, not a fight for survival. If he could engineer a war with NATO - especially NATO minus the US - that would justify far reaching conscription, total militarization of the economy, etc, etc. He probably won’t win, but if he’s fearful enough of losing power it might seem like an attractive option.

I’m not considering this a likely scenario, just one that’s plausible enough that we need to plan for it.

Nvidia Shield. It’s the GOAT, and it always has been.

Never put your enemy on death ground. If Iran decide to point blank refuse any notion of a compromise that basically leaves Trump with no other (face saving) option other than full scale invasion. Iran have negotiated very smartly throughout this whole situation, I expect they’ll continue to do so.

Exactly. Which is why their demands are only going to be bigger now. They’re going to assume that any concessions they get will only be good until next time Trump tears up the deal or attacks them in the middle of negotiations, so they’re going to maximise the benefit they get for as long as they get it.

One step at a time.

You’re a fool if you think that’s evidence of US control over Europe. Those bases are one of the EU’s key points of leverage; so much of America’s global power projection depends on the goodwill of allies, as they’re rapidly learning with the Iran debacle.

While the US backing off will be a necessary component of a de-escalation, Iran is under no obligation to start playing nice just because the US does. They’re going to demand serious concessions before they unclench their fists and release their chokehold on the strait.

Trump can’t just TACO his way out of this one. He either has to commit to a full scale invasion, or come to the table with a peace offer Iran will accept.

It’s a death trap for everyone. The rates of friendly fire for the A-10 are horrifying.

Is this really an issue?

Technically, it’s always been possible to do this with human programmers. I could read the code to Jellyfin, write out a detailed spec, hand that to a software engineer and have them recreate it. Or I could just come up with the same app myself from first principles. In most cases it’s not really that big of a difference when you get down to it.

Arguably, that’s what Emby did to Plex, or what Kodi did to MythTV. How much was inspiration and how much was copying? And does anyone actually care?

At the end of the day, patches and updates to the original won’t work with your clean room implementation, so it’s now on you to maintain this new codebase. And you still have to test it, work the bugs out, solve all the problems, and you can’t just refer back to the original code for solutions because the whole point is that your code still needs to be meaningfully different. You haven’t really removed any of the work of creating a piece of software. If you ended up borrowing certain details of implementation - some clever solutions and novel ideas - from your access to the nuts and bolts details of the original, that’s just part of how open source works.

Clean room implementations are much more of a firmware issue than a software one.

Thank you.

Any chance you can provide a source on that? It sounds believable, but it’s not mentioned in the article OP posted, and I can’t find anything else that confirms it. All reporting I’ve read says that CBSA refused to comment (as expected, since it concerns private information).

Got any good sources on that? I’d be really interested in seeing the details.
