readitalready··on Apple discontinues the Mac Pro
Apple really dropped the ball here. They had every ability to make something competitive with Nvidia for AI training as well as inference, by selling high end multi GPU Mac Pro workstations as well as servers, but for some reason chose not to. They had the infrastructure and custom SoCs and everything. What a waste.

It really could have been a bigger market for them than even the iPhone.

It's why WTI crude never exceeds $100/barrel. Every time it gets that high the insider in the administration shorts it and the administration announces a new policy delaying more strikes.

NATO says they can't confirm this Israeli claim: https://aje.news/ohi6b8?update=4425189

Makes you wonder who really did launch those missiles?

readitalready··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
iranintl, yah that's an instant rejection.

There are zero verified sources of any mass killings by the Iranian government. In fact all evidence points to Mossad agents committing the mass killings of Iranian government officials as caught on video, including the wrestler that was just executed for killing a police officer with a machete, on video.

I'd expect OpenAi to make some type of Github clone next, perhaps with Astral, or maybe with jujutsu.

Seems Europe also has the option of using Northern Africa as a solar energy hub as well. Is that a viable option?
readitalready··on Palestinian boy, 12, describes how Israeli forces killed his family in car
There are no other countries in the world where the foreign invaders maintain an apartheid system over the native population. Only Israel does that, having one set of rights for the foreign invaders and another set of rights for the native Palestinians. Even the US allows native americans full citizenship.
readitalready··on MoD sources warn Palantir role at heart of government is threat to UK security
They literally do, since the people making purchasing decisions are usually the ones that ranked up through a system they used and know the intricacies of, including all the pain points.

Randos don't become general managers.

This discounts the value of user experience, which people will pay a premium for.

A good design is valuable, and this applies to business processes as well.

How would you design the user experience of constructing a submarine?

Good design IS technological superiority.

These are absolute beasts for database servers, and definitely needs to make a comeback.

They suck for large sequential file access, but incredible for small random access: databases.

readitalready··on White House plan to break up iconic U.S. climate lab moves forward
People really need to stop saying Trump is worse than Kamala/Biden on Palestine.

Biden and the Democrats erased Palestine. There is nothing anymore that Trump could do about it. He can't resurrect the dead. Everything happened because of Democrats, not Trump.

Voters are very rational. They know that Democrats were the bad guys. It's why they currently have a 17% approval rating.

Let's all focus on removing the rest of the Democrats from power and replace them with true anti-Israel candidates. That's the only hope for a modern society.

readitalready··on White House plan to break up iconic U.S. climate lab moves forward
That had nothing to do with it. Her support for Israel caused her to lose, if you actually look at polls that analyze her election loss.
readitalready··on White House plan to break up iconic U.S. climate lab moves forward
I wouldn't expect everyone to know everything. But I follow all the polls. YouGov are some of the best.
readitalready··on White House plan to break up iconic U.S. climate lab moves forward
It's because it's important to make sure anyone in office that supports Israel loses, EVEN IF their opponent also supports Israel.

The job of the voter is to make sure elected officials are held accountable. Remember, the voter decides based on what was already done, not what they say MIGHT be done in the future.

readitalready··on White House plan to break up iconic U.S. climate lab moves forward
The specific issue that caused her to lose the election was her support for Israel. It was the largest reason that Biden 2020 voters didn't vote for Harris in 2024, per polls that specifically analyzed the causes of her loss. (not polls that took general moods or ideas)

Had she dropped support for Israel, she would have been president.

And going forward, there will never be a Democratic president that supports Israel's continued existence. The Democratic base is fully against Israel. We're just waiting for the politicians to catch up.

Edit: man some of you REALLY don't want Israel to be blamed for anything. Anyways, here's one poll clearly showing it was her support for Israel that cost her the most votes: https://www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection-polling

readitalready··on Living human brain cells play DOOM on a CL1 [video]
Yah this is gonna be a no for me too and crosses the line into actual life, instead of artificial intelligence.

We don't need to be experimenting on people, regardless of how many brain cells they may have.

There was a case a few years back about a parasitic twin attached to an Egyptian baby that had to be removed. It had a brain and semblance of a face, but nothing else. But when removing it, they gave it a name, because it was a person.

readitalready··on Israel Strikes Oil Facilities in Iran
Yah that was never on their front pages or on their apps, probably hidden on an archival web page. I looked everywhere. Only found the story in a few places on Feb 28, the day it happened.

This is how they hide stories.

readitalready··on Ki Editor - an editor that operates on the AST
The problem with editors is that each one has a huge cognitive load for minimal benefit. I can't imagine learning this one just to be able to move blocks around easier.

At this point you can just let your IDE's AI refactor any code by just telling it what you want to do.

readitalready··on AI Error May Have Contributed to Girl's School Bombing in Iran
Indeed. We all know, just based on his proclamation of support for terrorizing the Iranian people the other day, that the US is perfectly willing to target and kill entire schools full of children.

Killing 150+ elementary school girls was no accident. Do not let them get away with claiming it was an "error". They purposely targeted an elementary school filled with little girls to kill them.

readitalready··on AI Error May Have Contributed to Girl's School Bombing in Iran
I bet Anthropic has logs of whatever prompt was used to determine targeting the girls elementary school and can find out if they were directly responsible for their deaths through AI.

Holy shit.

No... thank YOU for believing in the right of Palestinians to return to their homes.
readitalready··on Iran War Cost Tracker
lol the Israelis would also disagree, otherwise they would have let the Palestinians live with them instead of literally going village-to-village, and door-to-door to forcibly remove the Palestinian residents or be killed if they didn't.

If the state of Israel doesn't believe in native rights, then you shouldn't believe in supporting their native rights either.

readitalready··on Iran War Cost Tracker
There is no moral justification for Israel's right to exist. Israel does not have a right to exist. They exist purely as a foreign invasion force originally started by European Jews - who didn't even practice or believe in Judaism - in order to make their own private racist mediterranean resort state by killing the native people and stealing their land.

What makes you think anyone would want support their existence over the rights of the existing Palestinian people that lived there and are currently fighting to reclaim their homes?

Religions do not have a right of inheritance. A person can't claim your home when you die because they also happen to be Christian. The only legal inheritance are those with title. And no one from Europe that decided to attack and invade Palestine can show any deed or title to the land they claimed to "own" 2000 years ago when they decided to move to Europe.

So, no. The state of Israel exists purely as a criminal enterprise of murder and theft. Let's not encourage its continued existence.

readitalready··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
It doesn't matter if it's the #1 issue or not. What matters is the few % of people that cause tight elections to shift. And it was enough to cause Kamala Harris to lose the election. Israel's attack on Gaza was the primary reason Biden 2020 voters chose not to vote for Harris, per scientific polls (YouGov). And that was from 2 years ago. America has only become more pro-Hamas since.

You can defend the existence of the foreign genocidal state all you want but you really have to understand that Israel is cooked. There is no turning back. It's a dead state walking. And the vast majority of their base of support is in the elderly, which will all die off in 20 years.

readitalready··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
The war started in 1948 by Europeans attempting to attack and invade Palestine to grab their land to build their mediterranean resort homes. The war never stopped. There was no surrender documents signed. The foreign invaders have always been in the state of war. It's why their colonial outposts are required to have bomb shelters.

Not sure why you would consider October 7 an "insane horror" when the foreign invaders literally burned children alive in 1948 by throwing them into ovens, as happened in the Deir Yassin massacre. Or the rape camps of Tantura. There were 15,000 innocent civilians killed by the invaders when they started this war.

I still can't believe we have to fight Israel's war for them. First the Iraq war and now the Iran war.

> Tell that to the 30k+ iranian protestors that were killed

in general, "protestors" that are armed by foreigners and actively killing police officers and other government officials aren't "protestors".

And can you tell us where this 30k came from?
