IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
I suspect you ignore the history of terrorism by Irgun and the bombing of the King David Hotel, which house the British military command. Menachem Begin was a key player in that attack & was extremely proud of it. Who are the modern day parties following in those footsteps? Why Likud, & Begin was a co-founder of that very party— now led by Netanyahu.
IOT_Apprentice··on The pro-Israel information war
The Palestinians want their villages,lands & homes back. Instead they face a military occupation from a nuclear military state with weapons provided by the USA & funded to the tune of hundreds of billions. There already are large numbers of Palestinian refugees around the world.

Ironically, the USA IS SPENDING BILLIONS on the war in Ukraine with nothing for the Palestinians.

Very impressive.
IOT_Apprentice··on Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages
Inconvenient? As the owner of the car it is my personal property and therefore my 4th amendment rights must apply. The state & federal courts have been corrupted by Federalist appointees.
IOT_Apprentice··on Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages
How is this not a 4th amendment violation in terms of law enforcement access? Why are car owners not provided means of denying this to occur?
IOT_Apprentice··on We Need a Revolution
I have family members with major health issues. The ability for them to reach me or medical care is more important to them and me and IS a priority.
IOT_Apprentice··on Marissa Mayer admits Yahoo should have bought Netflix instead of Tumblr
Marissa appears to have reached her level of incompetence. That said she is fabulously wealthy from her google stock et al.
IOT_Apprentice··on 'Great wealth transfer' isn't $72T but $129T, and government gave it to boomers
Exactly who are these boomers that have a portion of 172 Trillion? What is the actual distribution of this vast amount of wealth?

IOT_Apprentice··on MemGPT: Towards LLMs as Operating Systems
Sure if the initial blockchain hype I remember people wanted to build a OS.
IOT_Apprentice··on Takeaways from hundreds of LLM finetuning experiments with LoRA
How would anyone know if they did not posit an idea or theory and then implement it as a test? Publish results and it may spur others to tweak it or try other approaches.
IOT_Apprentice··on Comcast squeezing 2Gbps internet speeds through decades-old coaxial cables
Who cares about the SIZE of Texas? Allow multiple fiber Carriers to operate in the state and build a statewide common infrastructure. Presuming there can be only one is limited thinking.

Consider Internet infrastructure to be a core state & national economic mainstay. Hold your governor and state legislators accountable.

Pressure your Federal representatives to do the same.

The USA has lost the will to all aspects of infrastructure, including power, high speed rail, next generation highways, bridges etc forward.

They’ll provide jobs for companies building the tech and for deployment.

She was also demoted at U Penn. She is now working at a university in her homeland.
IOT_Apprentice··on Japan’s silent movie culture is still going
Isn’t this an extension of Kabuki culture to film? It would make sense in that context.
IOT_Apprentice··on PostScript’s sudden death in Sonoma
I asked mobile ChatGPT (free version) about rewriting PostScript in Rust. It indicated it would be a complex project, gave an overview and indicated it did not have access to the PostScript documentation (for some reason).

IOT_Apprentice··on The Pirate Bay's 20th Anniversary
Given the billions of dollars stolen by crypto creators, supposed trusted and secure “by blockchain”. It has become a sector full of scammers, self promotion and fraud. It is Bernie Madoff in digital form.
IOT_Apprentice··on Obsidian 1.4.10 Desktop (Public)
I find Obsidian to not really provide a usable experience. Adding images and having them often change while either mousing over them or inadvertently clicking can switch them to binary looking objects.

I find using Apple notes for personal use and confluence at work to be faster.

I don’t think in markup and have tools like this get in my way rather than being quick to capture images & thoughts unobtrusively.

IOT_Apprentice··on Ubus (OpenWrt micro bus architecture)
They just rewrite the impacted mess in Rust?
IOT_Apprentice··on Twitter's 'X' name change has led to a decrease in App Store downloads
Twitter as a brand wasn’t tainted, but Musk certainly is. Destroying a brand & a platform to build a lesser one is foolish.

IOT_Apprentice··on ARM’s Cortex A710: Winning by Default
I’ve been wondering if ANYONE has done something with the more recent AppleTV4K hardware and ported say ashai or other Linux versions being worked on for Apple Silicon. Or perhaps getting containers running on the hardware.

Important in being a source of money. The rest? Not so much.
IOT_Apprentice··on Why Python Is Terrible
If the “expressivity of C was such a wonderful thing why was Go even needed? Why was Java & J2EE promoted to enterprise development?

Might it be that coding in C was and is hard and further that memory management pointer issues and more led to unstable code?

IOT_Apprentice··on Why Python Is Terrible
Most companies & universities aren’t exposed to cutting edge or even modern technology. They stay in their bubble.

Leaving Silicon Valley, I’ve found the engineering management culture can be averse to training and allowing active skill building via development projects.

Just code that shit in Java or C++, doesn’t matter if you haven’t been trained in SQL properly or are even aware of best practices.

That culture leads to some gruesome product implementations & upgrade scenarios.

Hell, our IT department blocks this very website from being accessed.

I access it from my personal devices.
