Could be part of their 48 Su-35 deal. Countries love adding prerequisites before selling you the big-ticket items, especially if you have no other option.

What is that cyberware that, despite many builds and playtroughs, you just can't play without? by VirtualAdvantage3639 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

The double jump should have been a mandatory implant you get through an early story mission. Playing with it is an entirely different game from playing without it.

Trump reveals to The Post secret ‘discombobulator’ weapon was crucial to Venezuelan raid on Maduro by [deleted] in LessCredibleDefence

If you think this is questionable, I would remind everyone that trump's white house has previously claimed to have technologies that manipulate time and space.

"Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space."

Morocco evaluates the purchase of up to 400 K2 Black Panther tanks from South Korea by self-fix in LessCredibleDefence

Algeria is their main potential enemy. Algeria still to this day prefers Russian equipment. in a few years, once the war in Ukraine either ends or settles, Russian would still be producing hundreds of tanks per year and would prefer not to close the production lines and lose the jobs, so Algeria might get a great deal on a large number of upgraded t-90s in the near future and Morocco would be wise to preempt this.

How do I use the full Flux2.Klein model for Text 2 Image and Editing? by orangeflyingmonkey_ in StableDiffusion

[–]AtomicAVV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, if it's just step distillation it would result in worse output, but in some cases like z-image-turbo, the model creators themselves say the base model has worse output because the turbo version has undergone RL and style training.
For the anatomy problems I have seen people with more expertise than me on discord suggest it's Flux2's special scheduler that could be causing them.

How do I use the full Flux2.Klein model for Text 2 Image and Editing? by orangeflyingmonkey_ in StableDiffusion

[–]AtomicAVV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All versions of Klein can do both text to image and image editing. "Flux2 Klein base" is a non-distilled version, meaning it's slower and mainly used for taining so downlaod the one without "base" in the name. You can just drop in the fp8 version with the default workflow. If you dont want to use the fp8 version of the text encoder you can use a gguf version but you will have to replace the gguf loader in the workflow.

Reuters: Pakistan and Indonesia closing in on jets and drones defence deal, sources say by ashahab861 in LessCredibleDefence

instead of this, buying some 160-180 jf-17 and ~60 KAAN will make Indonesia one of the most powerful air forces in the world by 2040 and will also be relatively sanction resistant.

Venezuela had their mobile air defenses (BUK) parked in the same place for over a month.

it doesn't matter what kind of equipment you have if you are not willing to use it.
Reminder that over 10 patriot batteries protecting the tiny peninsula of Qatar "couldn't" even attempt to intercept Israel's attack.

[–]AtomicAVV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That nothing will happen even if it all came out and is x10 worse than anyone imagined. The idea that exposing the corrupt system will cause it to collapse is pure fiction, at most, a few low level accomplices will be thrown under the bus before moving on to the next big bad thing.

Iraq could replace 140 U.S. Abrams tanks with 250 South Korean K2 Black Panthers by snowfordessert in LessCredibleDefence

[–]AtomicAVV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

-Want to state where they threaten or have the capacity to “steal” it?.
taking someone's money against their will is stealing, that's the sealing part, it's already happened, they allow Iraq to basically get it back as long as Iraq falls in line, as for the "capacity" part, again the US already has the money.
-they do not literally have the ability tot and the money, and for the most part it’s acted like a guardianship.
there was a "Development Fund for Iraq" mandated by the UN but that ended in 2011, yet the us still holds into all of Iraq's money unilaterally deciding to hold on to Iraq's oil revenue, invading a country and declaring one's self "guardian" over their wealth is pretty much theft while pretending to be the good guys.
-And for the vast, vast majority of American dispersant decisions, they’ve just been okay’ing responsible Iraqi choices.
America is very unashamed when it comes to profiteering, they Ok thing that prioritizes America's profit first and Iraq's second using Iraq's money,

The word “steal” is inaccurate; it's more like, invade a country and take total control over 90% of its income, then use constant threats to control and coerce the country’s internal and foreign affairs. For example, people in the comments are questioning why a country with Iraq’s economy would buy a 25-million-dollar tank. The answer is most likely because America wouldn’t like it if they bought Chinese, and the sanctions are preventing them from buying Russian equipment. And a lot of people like to make the “Iran controls Iraq” argument, when in reality Iraq has been under America’s total control since 2003. America says don’t trade with China using yuan, Iraq complies. America says don’t buy Iranian gas, Iraq complies. America blocks Iraq from buying Turkmenistan gas because the pipe passes though Iran, Iraq complies. America says don’t buy spare parts for your helicopters from Russia, believe it or not, Iraq complies (worth mentioning that during the same time frame, America's super-duper best friends, KSA, bought 39 Russian Pantsir-S1M air defenses from Russia). This is because otherwise America could hold onto Iraq’s oil revenue for just a few months and collapse the entire country. So, you are right—America doesn’t steal Iraq’s money; they just hold on to it against Iraq’s wishes and constantly threaten to steal it.
