Is there a good way to find out how this happened? Who is in charge of Apple Maps? This is a huge offense to the semitic people of Lebanon; dare I say this is a tremendously anti-Semitic offense

what percentage of inference globally happens from datacenters in middle east and israel?

Wasn't this acquisition just a bit money laundering operation from Israel?

These guys are idiots. The news sources (Iran International etc) that claimed the 30,000 figure have since backtracked on their claim. Mossad and CIA were using Starlink to incite terrorism in their country so the Iranians shut the internet down, discovered the Starlinks (these idiots didn't bother to research how), and apprehended the terrorists who were operating them.

Now that the government has published the list of those dead, all those thousands of excess "killed" could come out and claim their deceased are not on the list. But such a thing hasn't happened. Let's wait and see.

"was called" - who was behind that?

I had the fortune of being at the top of the twin towers as a child in the 90s. A total shame what Larry Silverstein coordinated against these fantastic structures.

Seriously - how did that go down?

Interesting timing - same day MSFT releases https://microsoft.github.io/Magma/

Wow, you had agencies and friends to do these things for you?

Israel has won the hole competition

Can someone add some context here? What does this translate to for the future of semiconductor tech?

Thanks for your work!

From my experience, NERF works great, but depends on highly accurate camera location information. Unless the VR device has this baked in, one must run a Colmap-style or SFM-style process to generate those camera extrinsics. Is there anything special HybridNeRF does around this?

Zuckerberg is a Zionist and FB / IG are there to help the Zionist agenda, not to work against it.

"[name redacted], a 19-year-old Emory first-year student from Columbia, S.C., who uses the pronouns they and them, acknowledged not having followed the conflict in Gaza especially closely, but said... "

NYT is trying to paint the protestors as idiots.

The picture - seriously?

Anyone who's paying attention sees what's going on. But no one has the will and skill to stop them.

it's all in the hips...

Elon isn't above lying

"Your honor, this is a clear case of genocide."

"We object your honor. The prosecution couldn't be more WRONG. We never intended anything worse than ethnic cleansing!"

So...Ilya signed the letter too?

When news like this hits the front page of HN, I wonder to what degree it's because HN has many readers of AS Byatt, and to what degree it's because Paul Graham or the ones running the show here happened to have read her work. If the latter, it's like PG&Co just getting us familiar with their particular culture.

Looks like they'll mostly move to Microsoft and destroy the founding charter of OpenAI in the process.

I think the genocide is a bit more motivating and painful than the poverty line.

A holocaust is a holocaust, and a war is a war. Cutting off water, food, and telling people to leave while you bomb the exits is a holocaust, not war. Use the right terminology, please.

Too many of my female classmates and family in the West are now single and childless...we have a serious family problem and sexualize our women too much...the West should stop betraying its own women before concerning itself with Iran.

X's spat with the ADL revealed how substantial their lobby power is. That ad revenue plunged 60% due to their prejudices (against Elon and his management) testifies to a strong hold they have on media of all types. I don't trust Meta to reverse their behaviors like this, which they have likely done many, many times.

Has the same problems as midjourney et al: you can feed it pictures of a friend or yourself or a celebrity, and the result is always off - not recognizable as them
