Economic safety can be guaranteed in many ways. It's not economic safety that these moves are for. It's for blocking anyone from preventing them from maximizing the value the Western oligarchs extract from both their own citizens

Yep. After moving Deepseek for a long time I also moved to Mimo 2.5 pro. It's not only similarly cheap, but it's very good with 1m context window and gigantic tasks. Produces very lean code.

The concept of common-pool resource is the basis of the commons, the default state of mankind since its inception to recent times, and the philosophy of commons is called COMMUNism for a reason. In English, it should have been translated mo

Correct. It is therefore COMMUNist with the correct term. That's what communism is - the philosophy of the commons. Except note that the running of that commons, which everyone uses, requires socialist practices (what you mistakenly ca

Of course. Anyone who has even a little life experience knows that children, even more so, teenagers, will circumvent these measures, so they will fail at scale. But what won't fail is the obligation to provide your id to 'verific

Not only that. The Eu is also implementing 'age verification', at the same time with - surprise - digital id. It's just an attempt to reverse the free internet and implement total surveillance.

This is surprising to the modern mainstream tech because doing 'one single thing good' and identifying the company with it has become a phenomenon in the West. 'Who are we and what we do' questions get asked - as if comp

VSCode + Cline + Mimo v2.5 pro works ! great !. Give it a try.

I don't understand - are people's agents making so many mistakes? I'm using VSCode + Cline + Mimo to refactor big codebases and add features (including payment integrations) and it's rarely making any mistakes.

You could just use Xiaomi Mimo for all of that and it would be cheaper and faster than all of them...
