Depending what OP was using before but going from something like GPT5.2 to LLama 3 8B will be a massive difference (Although OP says to use it only for basic tasks so that does offset it)
LLama 3 already being a very old model doesn't help either
I run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-AWQ-4bit which while leagues ahead of LLama 3 8B still is a very noticeable difference.
This is not to say open source is bad, if one had the resources to run something like Qwen3.5-397B-A17B it would also be up there.
You don't have to be a tankie or a wankie to recognize the fact that a loss ratio of 0% is very good for an aircraft.
If it was a Russian or Chinese aircraft doing this then that would also be a fact.
It's stupid to say that a single aircraft being damaged makes the entire type worthless like many here are saying when the F-35 is the only aircraft flying these missions and come back with only damage to a single plane.
That is not a political statement or approval of the strikes. That's just a statement on the plane.
For the all the probably hundreds of sorties flown with a result of zero losses and only a single aircraft being damaged they might aswell be invisible.
I'm as much against the US as the next guy but how is it the west's fault that Pakistan is now bombing Afghanistan?
The Pakistani Airforce dropping the bombs.
The Pakistani Taliban attacking Pakistan.
The Taliban allowing the Pakistani Taliban to operate.
You need to go many layers down before it starts being the West's fault.
Either by saying it's the West's fault that Pakistan is now bombing Afghanistan because they retreated and the Taliban took power.
Or by saying it's the West's fault that Pakistan is now bombing Afghanistan because they supported the Mujahideen which eventually led to the collapse of the DRA and the Taliban took power.
Sure there is responsibility, but there are many actors that have way more direct responsibility over this current event before we reach the West.
why the industry is still not ready to move away from it.
But why should the industry move away from it?
Am i the only person on earth who doesn't think C++ is a liability and actuallly works faster in it?
At work i have to develop a backend api in TypeScript and it severly lacks in features compared to C++, again maybe its just me but i don't find how one is expected to magically program faster in TypeScript then C++.
Not to mention the idiocy of compiling a static typed language to a dynamic typed language which is then interpreted.
I currently have a PinePhonePro and I'm happy that its the real linux experience in phone form factor, I've tried searching but couldn't find a conclusive awnser.

Everyone's linux is in bed witu US corpos if you just look at the commit history of the kernel
