hmm so who should I refer to?

should I call out bill gates? zuckerberg?

hmm maybe this can be easily solved?

1. make a starlink+wireless mesh-network (eg. using BLE) that can handle multiple connects/disconnects seamlessly

2. mount those starlinks on cars/trucks/motorcycles/etc. hide those on ditches, buildings, etc.

Elon should work on that "starlink <-> wireless mesh-network" part (eg. app or device)

"on which step of the ladder do you feel you personally stand at the present time?”

hmm maybe answering 10 means: I only expect my life to down-roll from now on?

well breed it smaller then

hmm maybe we need extra representation?

eg: 2.0 for "trace" / 1.0 for "debug" / 0.0 for "info" / -1.0 for "warn" / -2.0 for "error that can be handled"

well I use it because it can handle 2000 tabs on my m1 macbook air (16gb ram)

... damn do I have adhd?????

woah just linking to wikipedia article without any substance?

damn...

well what's the ratio?

is it 10000000 rockets fired to some region, with 1000 civilian hits, with 1 military facility hit?

how do you "target" that rocket? just point it without precision?

well if you know, then you can say here?

idk isn't pager operation the textbook example of "trying to avoid civilian deaths" while getting your job done?

why is it "genocide"? is becoming hezbollah determined at birth? is hezbollah a race? does average civilian use walkie-talkie?

even if hezbollah was a race, after its civilian attack on 2023 (beheading babies, raping and killing even foreigners), I wouldn't even care about what those guys get (also, don't say "humanity" like you represent the whole "humanity")

if you ARE talking about palestinian civilians, I don't think israel can do anything more gentlemen-ly to them other than pager-operation: the other option is carpet bombing and direct invasion (which is a completely another topic)

this

stark constrast to hezbollah's direct attack on civilians:

1. directly targeted civilians 2. direct action (not remote) 3. intentionally brutal (beheadings, rapes)

...what are they, animals?

pager attack is, however scary it looks, rather more "reserved and gentlemen-ly way" of doing things:

1. targeted hezbolla militants (would average civilian use walkietalkie?) 2. indirect action

for anyone saying otherwise, how more "gentlemen-ly" should israel be? do nothing? "talk" with the leaders? waste more precious lives by directly sending troops without any prior action?

I just don't get why people talk negatively about the walkietalkie boomboom campaign -- it's a masterpiece of "trying the most not to kill civilians but doing your job"

hmm maybe you don't know there's "intentional homicide" and "unintentional homicide", and those two differ extremely in court?

seems like you like being sarcastic, but don't know basic stuff even 15 year olds know

this

why is that guy trying to fight against dictionary-definition of "terrorism"?

where did "intentionally creating a state of terror == terrorism" come from?

making up word definitions to win arguments?

well it's not 100% this or that -- it's mixed up

really-rich people don't have to work/commute, so prefer to live in countryside with gardens

really-poor people can't afford cars, and rich(=busy) cities usually have accomodations for them -- so they live inside busy cities

well you could get "interview-optimized" interviewees with impressive-looking mini-projects

"act as a senior xxx expert with over 15 years of industry experience"

... I just don't get why LLMs are affected by this kind of nonsense -- is it due to training rewards?

this -- even google search results were mixed up

should be more different: eg "rect-angular vs angular"

hmm isn't eval is used in figurative-sense here eh?

maybe you should get some sleep

this

I always felt server-action had too much "magic"

wait I'm only using React for SPA (no server rendering)

am I also vulnerable??????

well is the demand about inference or training?

this might be another possibility -- but why even bother to buy anthropic anyways, if not for the patents?

the talent will move out naturally -- amazon can just scoop up with its bucket (*not s3)

$5 trillion valuation doesn't mean it has $5 trillion cash in pocket -- so "it depends"

> designing it around adversarial use would be a loss for everyone

hmm... isn't this more of a 'personal viewpoint'? why are you stating this like a fact?

moreover, how would it "adding Edited by ~" constitute as a "loss for everyone" ?

I agree on adding "report abuse" button, but if no one notices that edit, how would anyone know what to report in the first place?

another thing: this article seems to presume "it's bad to be in hospital"

...but that's really going to mess up with general health policy (vaccination, checkup-visits, etc)

well people want simple models and explanations -- just like physicists want to model cows as "spherical boing boing cows"

finally...

I've been using 1-arg-1-line to avoid most conflicts

> But they do what they say they do on the box

fuk no

their spec is overbloated SHT.

I've never seen a router crawl like 300kbps on a 1.2gbps line (simply changing that to a no-named cheap generic one got me 880mbps)

fck I don't even care about backdoors -- even if you put them, just fking at least make them up-to-spec

> Most buyers are one-time users

well, even if they are, if google got scam-report, then isn't google obliged to start some investigation? are you ok with "well that's too bad you're scammed"?

> Gift cards and redeeming is exclusively Indians targeting the US market (in the UK they have money mules to launder actual bank transfers, so no need for gift cards).

well nope it's a thing everywhere -- even in some east-asian country, there's a public advertisement targeting convenient-store workers: "don't give google redeem code even if the person claims to work for the cvs chain"

AND...

> Google doesn't sell the cards directly - at least not the ones purchased at the supermarket and used for scamming.

wow... ok so where does that "redeem card" come from? are you saying stores can generate those redeem codes? ...something doesn't seem right here...?

> Ideally the whole "gift card" industry just goes away as there's no good reason to have it when we already have the ultimate form of "gift card" in the form of money... but until then, even if Google were to step out of the game someone else will step in (the company issuing the cards isn't directly involved, their gift card is just used as a negotiable instrument in lieu of cash during the scam transaction, so any company's will do).

wtf is this... are we talking about some random mom&pop store-issued giftcards? is Google a mom&pop store? is the "google doing a giftcard biz" so valuable enough to license them turning blind-eye?

> Cambodia/etc is pig butchering/fake investment scams

cambodian operation is massive enough that it INCLUDES google-giftcard scheme.

idk, all this adds up to one thing: google needs to replace whatever PR firm it's using

this

> From Google's perspective - someone bought a gift card in the US, and redeemed it somewhere else in the US

hmm really? is this coming from a google PR firm or what? if that's the google's "perspective", unfortunately that means google is really technically inept or morally corrupt enough to watch a lot of people, including Americans, go thru the torture and being incinerated.

if Google receives a lot of "I was scammed into this" from whoever bought the giftcard, doesn't google have the responsibility to ask the giftcard user where they got that redeem code from? At least warn them several times, and then cut those buyers too?

that's the worst justification of a big corp imaginable -- I mean, that alone justifies a congressional hearing, and could mount to a deluge of negative media press:

"how google has skin in the Cambodian scams"
