have we renamed the world america yet?

yeah sure lets defend ben gvir


I think is why these topics tend to get flagged, because everyone takes the first opportunity to voice unrelated grievances. Maybe if we stick to the topic?

> Estimated total force is of 15,000-20,000 armed combatants.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-has-added-up...

> But official U.S. figures show that prior to Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas had anywhere between 20,000 and 25,000 fighters.

All this death and destruction to leave Hamas with... roughly the same numbers? Ooof. Embarassing.

> They keep recruiting.

Yes, that’s the obvious result the rest of the world has pointed out for decades, and why this style of war is self-defeating.

Orphans make good recruits.


> Estimated total force is of 15,000-20,000 armed combatants.

And how many after you stop counting journalists and little kids? We've all seen what Israel is doing, no matter how they try to hide it.

LOL, it seems that a lot of your posts get flagged. The one where you startet with "You hate Israel" is where I wanted to answer, but it's gone.

And perhaps for good, because the person you claim to do that never said this.

It's fun who critiques on tactics or people is often just blown out of propertion by people like you. Suddenly, the critique is seen as general, targeting all of Israel (e.g. the full population) and not just the current government, or the IDF.

IMHO, it is you that hate Israel.

By asking for escalation, or discussing existing escalation away, the conflict will never be solved. You'd need a full genocide to solve the conflict. Perhaps biblical right-wings want that again (they claim to have been ordered a genocide to the Kanaanites after the exodus by YHWH themselves).

But if you look at terrorist conflics (North-Irelands IRA, Basques ETA, Kolumbia's Sendero Luminoso and all the others) ... then exactly zero times was the conflict by years after years of escalation.

What you do, like many escalaters, is that you look for horrible acts of Hamas. And you find them, plenty. But you don't look at horrible acts of IDF, or the Settlers. You would find them, too. But you are not just by ignoring one conflict party totally. And thus you are totally unable to reason correctly. And then ALL of your conclusions are void.

IMHO if we want "to protect the children of Gaza" when we need to go after ALL people responsible for e.g. bombing whole houses, the the huge fields of rubble that used to be civilian towns, too. From the lowest soldier to the highest general or defense minister. We need to go after those people that made a plan to starve them, by hindering trucks with edibles into Gaza. And we need to go after those the recruited and trained them --- and don't get me wrong: "go after" here doesn't mean "execute a death penalty without or without a court verdict". JUST going after one originators of the cruelties will do ... not create piece. it will just raise the next generation of terrorists.


you mean a rectangle over the entire page?


brains do it with 20 watts because theyre analog. llms require massive amounts of power and this isnt changing any time soon without a breakthrough


There are arguments that the brain is quantum, as in parts of it locally using quantum effects. Which if true, might make a counter-argument, as there will be bigger data centers needed if the goal is to simulate the brain classically.

On the other side, advancement in quantum computers would make current LLM inference much faster. Because of the extreme cooling needed, i dont think the energy demand would become less.

With AI companies talking about AGI, i sometimes wonder if they really need the machines for serving inference to customers, or they have a formula for computational capacity that could run an AGI, and they just want to reach that level.


If the brain does rely on quantum effects, it's still possible the quantum effects in use are able to be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. For example if it's a matter of signal transfer rather than quantum computation, that could be simulated rather easily.


I wonder what company will release the first "quantum LLM"


Alibaba probably. They are doing work on both already, that is if a quantum LLM is even feasible.


> the brain is quantum

Doesn't that apply to everything that exists in the material world?


Naively-speaking, sure. I think GP was referring to the act of information-processing, specifically, though.


Can you give me some pointers?

Last I heard researches simulated an entire brain of a fruitfly with just a classic neuron approach [0] and if I recall it worked great.

I know a human brain is many orders of magnitude more complex, and that there are some birds that use quantum navigation - so it's certainly not impossible by any stretch, though I am quite interested in this statement since it's the first I hear about it.

And a breakthrough in hardware, specifically.


There are exciting developments underway in analog computing.


If you adjust for writing speed, this model is already more efficient than humans. It can run at 233 tps on a 5090 which is roughly 10k words per minute compared to human typing speed of 80 wpm. If you duty cycle it down from 575 watts of 5090 to human speeds it’s about 5 watts.


because it would be rejected again


"Tarot function is not present in this version, and won't be present in any releases future ever".


That makes it sound like they made a mistake.


They did.


Irrelevant. They have all the leverage and the submitter has none.


If being shown or admitting to their mistake was something they were cool with, this post wouldn’t exist


none of them work


in 15 years we might all be fighting terminators


hacker vibes would be sharing how he learned to program the ecu with a laptop. or putting in a short throw. running linux on the headunit, etc. but no, all this guy did was put a louder, annoying exhaust on it and drives it like its a go kart. im just left wondering what stickers he will tastefully add to it? haha but its ok, its a mid life crisis after all.. if he is feeling happy and like a child again, thats totally great


legislate volume knobs


how is graphene these days, or is there a better alternative that can run map apps that depend on google play services (like waze)?


GrapheneOS is great, and easy to use. Sandboxed google play can run your maps apps that depend on google play without issue.


Anything with microG should do the trick.


All my apps work.
