What's the actual, concrete, material, actual reality that actually exists?

Is Hamas killing every Jewish person or is the Likud party of Israel actually killing the residents of Palestine?

Let's look at the actual material reality.

For instance, Israel intentionally destroyed all the farms and ruined the fields to grow crops. They have a naval blockade that stops them from fishing so you can't get food there either. They've cut off all external water supplies, blocked food aid from coming in and have openly said they are trying to starve the population to death. Actual, concrete, material reality, available on any news website, with interviews, videos, satellite photos, extremely well documented.

Amnesty International, Doctors without borders, Human Rights Watch, the IPC, the UN, all have been unequivocal in their condemnation of this. Even Haaretz and other Israeli newspapers have been critical of it.

Here's a scholarly peer reviewed paper from the Science of Remote Sensing documenting the farm destruction: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266601722... Scroll down to see the photos.

Even right wing news, such as Fox has covered this: https://www.foxnews.com/world/before-after-images-show-devas...

There's two possibilities here: Either every international organization, news source, academic journal, independent third party, satellite, photographer,and videographer is controlled by a powerful invisible puppetmaster or reality is reality.

I know stuff like this is unwelcome but someone's gotta stand up for reality.

just ffmpeg it -vn and post it as an rss xml ... the audio sans video is a fine first step.

you know what might be interesting? The "HN 10 minute" -- 20 seconds per front page hn story as a podcast, daily.

I've heard very competent people claiming similar things. I think there's an abstraction I'm missing. I know they don't mean it literally.

The most recent was Loris Degioanni yesterday in a conference talk.

I think saying " This dumb dumb doesn't know what a device driver is" is a very incorrect read since you know, he's written a bunch of them

The first Hyundai Ioniq did this pretty good. Exceptions exist.

This can be a fairly pure case study on the convergence rate of youtube ads.

Noted. For the rest of the internet, I was wrong. Here is the evidence. https://github.com/ZhengyiLuo/AgentsDock-Releases/releases

It's a 2 day old project. https://github.com/ZhengyiLuo/AgentsDock

It genuinely is much more sporadic then you think. 1 or 2 houses, then empty blocks with streets there, then 1 more, then some building ...

For a modern version, look up california city - modest suburban homes respectably maintained with cars in the driveway surrounded by endless nothing.

I have to presume there's some people that look at this and say "wow, this is perfect".

This is more like the construction date of buildings that have survived. Some early neighborhoods (like palms) have been completely replaced building by building so they really appear as dark here when they weren't. It had a downtown in the 1890s but all those buildings are gone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palms,_Los_Angeles#/media/File...

it's basically this data: https://portal.assessor.lacounty.gov/ through this portal https://data.lacity.org/

Mitch McConnell holding the seat then railroading in a judge is bad faith cheating and we can't be constrained by procedure and let bad faith actors get away with cheating.

Revoke the appointments and change the rules. SCOTUS isn't some unquestionable papal position with divine right.

The wild corruption of accepting gifts from groups arguing on the court and then using Galaxy brain weasel language to claim it doesn't count. No. Every person in prison has a reason why the law shouldn't have applied to them.

Are we a nation of rules or aren't we?

You follow the rules and maintain integrity of your oath or you're kicked to the curb.

And calling this a both sides political thing is the most tired dodge I've seen. I'm tired of the bullshit excuses why someone with a Trump has can rob bank

it's not about legislation and veto, it's about exercising congress's prosecutorial power. I don't want to hear any weak kneed bullshit about "well they'll do it to us".

Don't ever take that bullshit. Nobody else is doing anywhere near the wild level of criminality. Seriously, all this procedure stuff around groups that are breaking the law is insane.

It'd be like if a policeman saw someone rob a place, put the things in the car, and then the thief says "oh but there's a no looking in car rule" and then just drives away.

This is all complete insanity. Charge these people with the dozens of crimes they are committing every day.

no, i have no trust in them.

There needs to be some set of adults who take this lawless criminal hijacking of the government seriously for what it is.

This is clear as day, not a matter of politics. It's just clear crime. The material evidence is irrefutable and indefensible and it happens multiple times a day.

and it's going to be like that for decades unless november there's a broad sweep of offices and the other party actually exercises power for once and prosecutes politicians criminal behavior instead of that infuriating clemency nonsense they always do.

I'm betting they'll get elected and then sit on their hands as hard as possible calling it a "return to normalcy", fight their constituency, insist on doing absolutely nothing, and then get kicked right back out 2 years later and whine about people not voting for them.

The change has to be sweeping. The current people in power doing crypto pump and dumps: Internet trolls posting rage-baiting AI slop as official government communications as like the FDA and the CDC, then betting on polymarket about who they're going to bomb, teenaged 4chan trolls ctrl+f'ing for keywords to cancel things like cancer research because it has a "woke word" like "diversity" in published medical literature, these should be structurally impossible from getting near power again. Don't ever forget this happened. There's no undo. Decades down the drain.

And the Wild threats to invade neighboring countries. Someone needs to do to America what America did to Venezuela.

But instead, these criminals get to keep their jobs and it goes completely unpunished. Seriously, felony is not the right term. It's way beyond that.

Ted is super specific and inflexible about lots of technical details that just don't work. I don't want to air out dirty laundry here but it's non-existence in any robust state wasn't for lack of trying.

Also it's a feature, not a bug. If we were all pragmatists ...

if you think that's crazy, this is still sold as well: https://www.unisys.com/product-info-sheet/ecs/clearpath-mast...

that's not the mcp you think it is...it's this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burroughs_MCP

Thanks. Too bad the algorithm didn't bless me

q4km is about 48 tps on a 4090. my llama.cpp params are --flash-attn on --parallel 1 --load-mode mmap

We'll see. It's crazy that we still have lots of institutions that would have taken this seriously.

County libraries, city hall records, large public universities.

It should have been like "hey, UNC Chapel Hill" or "Los Angeles County" take care of this.

I mean maybe things like that happen, like UTexas just loses multiple shelves mysteriously in their special collections, but I've never heard of it.

I just hate when ideological commitments shove reasonable solutions like this off the table

The magic of public-private partnerships strikes again.

Like most of the time, this will probably be held for some kind of extortionist legal ransom. We just love handing our stuff over to bad-faith third-parties in the name of some kind of imagined freedom. Just can't get enough of it. Public infrastructure, national archives, city services, we just seem to be completely deer-in-the-headlights when they pull this stuff on the daily...

So here we go again. We blindly trust in private parties always magically acting in good faith when there's billions on the table incentivizing them not to.

We've been doing it like this for 40 years and it hasn't worked, but I'm sure our ideological commitments will bend reality eventually.

This is your money btw.

...and it's our job to fix that...

yours and mine.

Uh, it's a representative democracy... The government isn't some nebulous mythical gorgon, it's supposedly responsive and representative of the people's needs.

Also I assure you, scammers aren't honestly filling out I-9s and W-4s adding up all the Western Union receipts. They're scamming the IRS as well

In the US, effectively 100% of the calls are criminals and scammers.

I really don't understand. Isn't the government listening to all the phone calls? Wasn't that the disclosure like 2 decades ago.

The very first time someone tries that dumb Yahoo security scam, the number should be automatically disconnected. I really don't get it

long said that success is 1% idea, 9% implementation and 90% other stuff like marketing that I don't care about.

If someone bombed a data center there would be celebratory parades.

Nobody wants this robber baron shit

The OP a big OSM user and maintains https://eispiraten.com/ where there was more than one discussion about this

If you read the historical archives, Gnu was kinda late in the game with Linux. They were distributing the Joliets 386-BSD and NetBSD and had some drama with trying to do Linux. Debian is a historical spinoff of this.

I gave a conference talk about this about 4 years ago. There may be slight errors in my recollection

I've seen them arrest people for no reason a lot!

Go to a different neighborhood. Police behavior is zipcode based

I really don't understand this stuff. I've run multiple companies, this stuff would be fixed in minutes if it happened and very likely never get released.

Aren't they hiring supposedly top-tier talent and paying them top-dollar?

Surely they have a test suite and surely this would fail in that test suite.

I really don't understand how they end up doing such things.

I can only imagine that they hire a bunch of 22 year olds from prestigious schools who have never had a job pushing production code and convince themselves everything will be ok.
