IOT_Apprentice··on All the remedial classes in one place
I find it ironic that an elite mathematician such as yourself has zero ability to teach basic mathematics to anyone. Or is it that you choose not to, because you consider them inferior?

Your commentary reads like that, but perhaps I’m misreading your tone & choice of words.

IOT_Apprentice··on 'I'm the new Oppenheimer ': Palantir's first-ever AI warfare conference
The US created ISIS in Afghanistan via their proxy war with Russia. Reap what you sow.
IOT_Apprentice··on 'I'm the new Oppenheimer ': Palantir's first-ever AI warfare conference
"The result for citizens in the US is disastrous. It mirrors the decline of the Roman Empire, which spent extravagantly on its legions, and the only growth came from conquering other peoples, looting them, and taxing them. This threat could not be sustained forever, and so the gold and silver coins were reduced in precious metal content, and the treasury (like the USA, which just prints money like a never-ending waterfall) created debased coins, resulting in inflation.

Just as the US doesn't invest in infrastructure the way other countries do or have an efficient nationalized healthcare system.

Why? We burn trillions on military and weapons. The military-industrial complex must be fed, and it is always hungry.

Think about retirement, healthcare costs, and the greedflation by corporations, as well as the government taxing your Social Security. It is intentional cruelty."

IOT_Apprentice··on Meta does everything OpenAI should be
The discussion was about the safety of AI and pausing AGI/AI out of fear of it going rogue or killing people. Lavender is actually doing that as a state sponsored military AI.

The technology is now out in the world and all AI/LLMS can be used in the general world community.

I would assume Palintir has offerings to do this Weapons-based AI killing people. Are there humans in the loop?

IOT_Apprentice··on What happens when we pay public high school teachers based on performance
It may be that the manner in which you are teaching that topic is itself failing. Your students don’t understand, investigate how to improve your approach in explaining which results in them understanding. Decompose the steps to see where that understanding is not happening.
IOT_Apprentice··on Tesla Cancels Mass-Market $25,000 Car, Musk Says This Is a Lie
The Chinese EV makers will deliver it, as they already have vehicles at that price point. Their barriers here are buildout of repair/service infrastructure, and tariffs/US auto lobbyists.
IOT_Apprentice··on Show HN: Glossarie – a new, immersive way to learn a language
When will you have Farsi, Japanese & Mandarin?
IOT_Apprentice··on Mark Zuckerberg says Quest 3 'is the better product, period'
A bad rap? Go back and look at his own words about those around him at the beginning. It was sociopathic. Facebook has been part of the problem of the decline of critical thinking and rational discourse, destroying families in the process.

Ask BlackBerry how that worked out. Apple is the newcomer, however as they design their own hardware & have the best companies to build cutting edge tech, they will continue to move forward. They needed to get a foot in the space and now they have. Time will ultimately tell.
IOT_Apprentice··on Apple Has Sold Approximately 200k Vision Pro Headsets
Just like the iPad and Apple Watch? LOL. Apple has a lot of room to experiment in this space and the presales numbers show that.
IOT_Apprentice··on Why new hires often get paid more than existing employees
Given the extreme use of awful ATS systems HR is a joke of a department.
IOT_Apprentice··on AI to hit almost 40% of jobs worldwide
Some believe that corporations will just raise prices to eliminate any difference.

See the current situation with regards to food & grocery costs skyrocketing here in the USA.

See corporations raising prices under cover of “inflation“ with zero consequences due to toxic capitalism.

IOT_Apprentice··on Smalltalk simplicity and consistency vs. other languages (2022) [video]
I wonder if someone has considered building a modern variant of Smalltalk on top of elixir/erlang.

You’d get virtualization, multi threading, scalability, etc.

And consider git, DevOps, CI/CD and off we go?

IOT_Apprentice··on My Knowledge Lakehouse
I’m using capacities.io it is much more accessible than obsidian.
IOT_Apprentice··on Penrose – Create diagrams by typing notation in plain text
It would be interesting to see someone like Wes Bos build an LLM from end to his graph packages.
IOT_Apprentice··on FedEx launches new e-commerce platform
Amazon went all in like google in selling ads for their search function. It has made their site junk. You even search foe a specific product brand + model & you get Chinese backend firms with nonsensical English names. Yechhh.

Someone needs to build a front end that drills down through the ad cruft to reach the products you want.

Or offer a prime plus that doesn’t have search ads.

It is an awful experience.

IOT_Apprentice··on Israeli group claims it’s using back channels to censor “inflammatory” content
A liberal democratic state? You consider likkud a liberal party? I suppose Irgun was liberal too.
IOT_Apprentice··on Israeli group claims it’s using back channels to censor “inflammatory” content
First, Israel has been carpet bombing Gaza for weeks on end. They have destroyed everything & bombed housing, schools, mosques, churches, universities, kids schools, restaurants, bakeries & every aspect of civilization there.

How many Palestinian journalists have been murdered or had their families targeted and extended family bombed by the IOF?

The IDF have targeted & murdered more journalists in 2 months than in any other conflict.

The IDF is the only military on the planet that has a military court for juveniles and imprisons them by the thousands. You can search this all out on YouTube & see footage of it. They were holding boys in open air cages in the winter. Their parents not even knowing which military prison their kids were in.

We see the US bombs falling 24/7 on all of Gaza. We see what is going on every single day.

We know the Israeli policy of “mowing the lawn” every few months.

We SEE it. You should own it and be revulsed by it, just as you should by the Israeli Apache gunships emptying their machine guns at Israelis at the concert or the tank rounds. Or shooting unarmed Israeli civilians hostages waving a white flag.

What policy is that called by the IDF again? Oh yeah, The Hannibal Directive. Only now they target their own.

IOT_Apprentice··on Israeli group claims it’s using back channels to censor “inflammatory” content
Ask the pro Palestinian content creators about how many posts get smothered with zero traction, how many get infractions and how many replace the word Israel with invented words to not be blocked by TikTok’s algorithm. How many now have backup accounts because they are threatened with removal.
IOT_Apprentice··on Israeli group claims it’s using back channels to censor “inflammatory” content
Israel owns our politicians and those who cross them are cut off and via AIPAC they run candidates to replace them.

Losing US support? In what circumstances? We are printing billions to send to Israel with zero oversight.

They launched a $100 million fund to oust “the squad“ & offered $20 million to people to run against them.

Now take a look over on Maui, in La Haina, where US citizens are still having to pay mortgages on the houses that were burned to the ground. Dust & Ash. Where are our aircraft carriers from the pacific fleet bringing infrastructure, supplies, Seabees, Army Corps of engineering and the best minds to rebuild OUR OWN GOD DAMNED communities?

Between AIPAC & DMFI they have hands on most politicians.

Look at the amount of money they’ve spent on Biden—-who proudly states his is a Zionist. Look at Blinken & his background—Google him and his family.

There is zero means to even cobble up a group of politicians to vote against anything regarding Israel.

39 US STATES have laws outlawing BDS or any boycott of Israel if you work for state funded positions. Why? Who funded those laws?

There is zero neutrality & how on earth does our American government portray themselves as diplomats or influencers towards Israel? Or earnest negotiators?

Between our secret military bases there and arms depots and unlimited funding for weapons & aid.

The American public is not aligned with that at all, but that doesn’t matter. PACS & Dark money controls this. Feeding the military industrial complex.

It will take other governments & international courts to change this. We’ll see what happens on Thursday & Friday.

The US has rendered the UN impotent with their security council vetoes.

AIPAC & DMFI should be regulated as foreign lobbyists.

IOT_Apprentice··on What I learned using private LLMs to write an undergraduate history essay
Yet that was NOT your initial comment. The author was testing a theory to see what the results would be. There isn’t anything “stupid” about that. Exposing the issues of LLM usage & the steps to do so is valuable.
IOT_Apprentice··on Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective
He has customers pay for a feature for 10 years that they have been unable to use. A decade! That smells like fraud.
IOT_Apprentice··on Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective
Question. Are you a Tesla owner? I’m not, yet every Tesla owner I know has stated they have all experienced quality issues and operational problems needing repair.

I read of Musk having teams in Tesla to deny & harass customers who experience now known issues.

Not the sign if a stable company or quality focused or providing good service.

IOT_Apprentice··on End of an era for electronics giant Toshiba
Corruption by senior management doomed the company to continue down a path of failure.

Toshiba desired to not cause change and market disruption was hated by Japanese business culture.

Eventually inaction & fear led to destruction. Quite sad really.

IOT_Apprentice··on End of an era for electronics giant Toshiba
The culture at Toshiba was don’t stand out. Just show up put in long hours & do what your superiors want. The storage executives DID NOT WANT a new technology. They were content with spinning disks. Do not rock the boat, put in your 20 years quietly, retire & maybe come back with a get a consulting job there if lucky.

The Keiretsu based structure bred complacency & selling average products to each other.

As innovation technology in Silicon Valley skyrocketed, Toshiba made slideware & agreements that offered no tangible value.

They would talk about the cloud, sign agreements with IBM but have zero real budget for implementation.

Instead they would focus on continuing to build and sell non competitive solutions that meant divisions were ordered to keep making non competitive products built by thousands of engineers at a loss.

The board cooking the books sealed their fate.

IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
Israel won’t allow the right of return for Palestinians from the world. Be real here.
IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
Who controls the airspace of Gaza?

Who controls the water, electricity and internet in Gaza?

Who controls the borders of Gaza?

Who has military ships control sea waters of Gaza?

Who randomly sends missiles, air strikes and “mows the grass” in Gaza?

Israel.

IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
British mandate rule lasted long enough for Irgun and fellow terrorist militias bombing the King David Hotel, attacking Palestinians such that, the British gave up and left.

Are you comparing that to being part of an empire for the preceding 400 years?

IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
How would the Palestinians leave? Via the continual carpet bombing of every building and the people? We see the videos of the bombing & the aftermath. We see the photo today of mass execution by the IDF. You cram what’s left of 2 million people in a tiny section of Gaza and now bomb them there.

The US quashed a ceasefire vote in the UN, so that the carnage can continue. It is monstrous evil. The US is now providing bunker buster bombs as well, which are being used. We see the videos and photos today of that.

IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
Prioritized in what exact way? You are fed what you are interested in and like, on TikTok. It is easy to read yourself of topics or content you are uninterested in or dislike.
