Moreso than Burning Man? I've never come across more people that seem to have rape fantasies and not the cnc kind than at Burner adjacent communities.

My no evidence inclination is that events like Burning Man have lower incidence of child sex abuse not because of any enlightened attitudes about nudity and sex but because it's such a challenging logistical and environmental ordeal to attend that it filters out a lot of low class dirtbags that would do child sex abuse.
Vibecamp is probably a similar demographic argument. I think it's plainly true that no sex tent or nudity would reduce sex abuse further. But I'm not sure the rates meaningfully matter once you've filtered all of the shitty people out to begin with.

If they had secular goals, maybe. But, they're ruled by theocrats trying to advance the Islamic revolution. They're not gonna kill all the Jews and the rest of the infidels with conventional weapons.
So it seems we were lucky to return to the pre-war status quo, even Trump had to tepidly admit that he bit off more than he can chew and Iran's regional dominance is not going anywhere.
Not that this was anyone's plan but we learned/reconfirned some things.
- Alternate oil routes: solid idea.
- Anti-mining tech: in
- Anti-drone tech: in
- If you're going to decapitation strike a regime do it before they brutally suppress a popular uprising
- The Gulf states seem pretty useless
- Europe seems pretty useless
- Starlink: seems easily jammed
- Can we develop alternate energy faster already
- Blockading Iran's blockade: seems like reasonably good counter-leverage
Iran learned some things too
- SOH blockade: surprisingly good leverage, invest heavily in that tech
- Houthi relationship: develop at all costs, must be able to shut down red sea route
- Moar ballistic missiles
- Moar drones
- Hamas attack on Israel: pretty costly!
- Nuclear program: yes
- Internet blackouts: very effective
- China: probably a great economic ally on a lot of gear
- Russia: useless
All in, I think life for Iranians gets steadily worse from here but at least they can say they're scoring points for the Islamic revolution.
Iran can blockade the strait to cause pain but it's not limitless. We can blockade them back and inflict pain too. Eventually both sides lose the will to keep going, but it might be an inconvenience to Trump whereas it's a lot more punishing for Iran.
Anyway, maybe we can try a decapitation strike again in a few years and see if we do any better at

I'm grinding through a several week long session now. Opus is doing a better than human job but in little bits and bobs, but I was able to switch to Fable a few days ago and it was just chewing through it. It would sit and think for 10 minutes and then rip out a 700 line delta across 6 C++ files that would compile the first time and nail the feature in an iteration or two. It just kept that pace up.
Two days later Fable was yanked away from me while it was in the middle of implementing a feature and Opus couldn't figure out how to finish it with the uncommitted code that Fable had left. It just stashed it and started over and I told it it's late and to go to bed.
I feel a bit of loss over it
Opus has been doing a fine job but after a day or so with it it was clear Fable was significantly better.
Yes, absolutely.
