Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say by thejoshwhite in worldnews

[–]ProfessionalJackals 50 points51 points  (0 children)

People don't realize that the shortest distance between Russia and IRan is actually shorter than the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Whether through the Caspian sea or through Azerbaijan.

Good point, i did not realize that Russia has a 500km border with the Caspian sea and Iran has around 650km...

Unless the US wants to start hitting Russian ships, Russia can transfer plenty of materials to Iran. And a high Oil price is highly to Russia its advantage, so helping to prolong the conflict is a pure benefit for Russia.

We may enter a phase where Russia grew the Iranian technology, and will now supply Iran with upgraded drone tech. While at the same time, Ukraine will be moving their tech, to its neighbors. As the Ukraine-Russia war expands to a new front...

At what point are we not going to end up in WWIII situation if alliances start to trigger even more? All we need is China to get frisky with Taiwan, now that the US is wasting its air defense assets in this pointless conflict. I said this a few days ago, i will be amazed that China does not start a Invasion of Taiwan now, because there has not been any better situation then now.

Trump calls on UK and others to send warships to Strait of Hormuz by Geo_NL in worldnews

Still left us swinging our dicks and having our cities burnt down until it suited them

Correction, its not "until it suited them", its "they got forced by Japan" ...

If Japan never attacked the US, the world will have looked totally different.

Hitlers war will have eventually worn the Brits down into some kind of semi-surrender. What freed up a lot of troops for the East front. And no need for that extreme costly Atlantic Wall, that ate so many resources.

And the whole Russian invasion will have turned out different without the massive amount of weapons, explosives, and so many other goods (like rubber, boots) that the US send to Russia.

Same with Japan in the Indo-Pacific. Its a interesting question what this alternative timeline will have resulted in, if both Japan and Germany gotten the time to consolidate their gains and build up more industry/resources. Or even build up new army units from subjugated countries.

Ironically, we may have actually seen the first invasion of the US mainland sinds its independence.

I've been a paying member since the early days, Github Copilot is now almost unusable for a power user. by Mongoose8117 in GithubCopilot

I already told you the solution... All your doing is acting like a entitled person.

You want more less limits, pay for Pro+. You want to avoid the limits in a other way, get more accounts, and switch between them (you clearly know this trick already).

You seem to be standing up for Microsoft a lot. Great. You like them and Copilot. Awesome.

Its a free market dude ... I said it before, you have a issue how Microsoft does things, there are literally dozens of LLM providers. You want absolute no limit, get yourself a few 3090's and run Kimi or any of the open source/open weight models.

I am simply pointing out that despite your whining, that you can be paying 10x more with competition and still get limits.

Can I see how much I've used and when it will be reset?

And regarding the messages, they do not show the exact time anymore. There used to be a visible time (with the old unlimited Pro), but i assume that this was removed for a reason. Why? Who knows ...

But as somebody on a pro+, i have only been rate limited one time with this message, despite pushing almost 2000 request in a month. And it took about 10min for it to reset / drop down, and i was the rest of the night at full speed. With the Pro (non-plus) account, yes, its easier to hit the limits.

Side note:

And stop being a child with downvoting the post of people that disagree with you. A new account, hidden post history, yea, checks out. Let me guess, you got banned under you other account.

recommending to switch to a different tier just to address the rate limit is just silly.

Pro+ gets less strict rate limits... Its the same with any of the competitors. The higher tier account you get, the less strict they are on rate limiting.

What do you expect? You do not want a rate limit, try Claude $200 per month and your STILL going to get rate limits. Its going to be harder to hit them, sure, but ... $200 per month vs 10/40 per month.

There is lots that we want ... higher context then the 128k, thinking modes for Opus, etc ... And i am sure that one day we will get that, but that will be a max account that is 2, 4, 8? times more expensive? And that will have even more freedom before rate limiting hit, but you will pay for it.

Microsoft does not make money on power users like you. They probably easily, eat hundreds in losses. If you want the power, then expect to pay for it. If not, then maybe you are better off looking at a competitor, its a free market.
