vFunct··on An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia
Pretty sure that's why we're all building RAGs, to account for the missing information in the LLMs direct memory...
vFunct··on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, scholars group says
Isn't the moral solution be to surrender and go back home to Europe where they came from instead of trying to invade Palestine to steal their land?

European Jews do not have the right to steal Palestinian land.

Why can't Israel simply surrender and admit defeat in the war that they started? They never got the Palestinians to surrender. I don't see any signed surrender documents? Israelis have always existed in a war zone of their own creation, with every home required to have a bomb shelter.

Right now it appears that Israel is headed towards defeat, with more nations recognizing the existence of Palestine.

vFunct··on Israel committing genocide in Gaza, scholars group says
So you're saying Israel is committing genocide because they are a foreign invasion force of European Jews that have the stated intent of eliminating Palestinians people from the land they're trying to take through a war they started in 1948?

And that Hamas are the good guys because they have a right to kill the foreign invaders trying to steal their land?

Is that the correct summary of Israel's genocidal intent?

vFunct··on Deploying DeepSeek on 96 H100 GPUs
My basement server really confused by all this...
vFunct··on Hire Palestinian Tech Talent
No, it's not illegal. There is no law saying you can't hire Palestinians, no matter how hard Israelis try to get you to believe that. Thanks.
vFunct··on IBM and the Holocaust
You don't see how not hiring people that believe in killing children helps anything?
vFunct··on IBM and the Holocaust
Which polls directly show the majority of Americans believe that killing children to steal their land is acceptable? There are plenty of polls of Israel explicitly showing that.

Polls of election choices are different from polls of values and beliefs (and actions)

vFunct··on The MiniPC Revolution
Mac mini is the perfect. Its also the most power efficient.
vFunct··on Temporary suspension of acceptance of mail to the United States
So does any other shipper (UPS? Fedex?) allow shipments from India?
vFunct··on Starship's Tenth Flight Test
Yes the boosters were fully reused. Thanks.
vFunct··on Starship's Tenth Flight Test
Great. Glad we agree that the Space shuttle was a stellar achievement in reusable rockets and every andvancement afterward is marginal.
vFunct··on Starship's Tenth Flight Test
The space shuttles boosters were reused. So, literally every engine in the shuttle was reused. Wild what NASA did 40 years ago…
vFunct··on Starship's Tenth Flight Test
Seriously. NASA had a reusable orbital rocket 40 years ago. Space-X still only has reusable boosters.

I was mostly impressed by the materials science of the space shuttle tiles, even though they’re expensive.

vFunct··on An interactive guide to SVG paths
Would the same bezier curves be used in font rendering? And do we have GPU bezier drawing functions or shader kernels available?
vFunct··on [dead]
And causing the rest of the world to absolutely hate them. The only people left supporting them are those without Instagram, and exclusively watch their news from commercial news sources, basically, just the elderly. Once they die off in 20 years, Israel will cease to exist.

Do Israelis even know they're dead men walking?

vFunct··on Release Notes for Safari Technology Preview 226
The Navigation API likely means upcoming MacBooks will have cellular connectivity.
vFunct··on AGENTS.md – Open format for guiding coding agents
They literally drive the car.
vFunct··on AGENTS.md – Open format for guiding coding agents
The limited self-driving cars, with a remote human operator? no, I never have.
vFunct··on AGENTS.md – Open format for guiding coding agents
> We're in a transition phase today where agents need special guidance to understand a codebase that go beyond what humans need. Before long, I don't think they will.

This isn't guaranteed. Just like we will never have fully self-driving cars, we likely won't have fully human quality coders.

Right now AI coders are going to be another tool in the tool bucket.

vFunct··on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC's Tech Scene Is Not
Voters vote on who they like, not if they can govern.
vFunct··on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC's Tech Scene Is Not
Yes. That's panic.
vFunct··on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC's Tech Scene Is Not
Yes. That's panic.
vFunct··on Ask HN: Are we allowed to discuss Israel on HN?
The Israel tech official that got caught being a pedophile and was freed by Trump didn’t get covered by TV or any mainstream media…
vFunct··on Cancelling mRNA studies is the highest irresponsibility
Were their injuries more important than the lives mRNA vaccines saved?

Someone should be in prison for cancelling mRNA research.

vFunct··on IFairy: The First 2-bit Complex LLM with All Parameters in \{\pm1, \pm i\}
This is great. I want to see them implement some of this in hardware, using at least FPGAs to build some core architecture to see how much area savings they get.
vFunct··on Airbrush art of the 80s (2015)
I really wish this glossy/chrome aesthetic had a comeback.

VMEBus for the win! (now VPX...)
vFunct··on Trump Directs Military to Target Foreign Drug Cartels
I saw this movie before.. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109444/

Read the book too!

vFunct··on Israel says it killed five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza
Yes that's a convincing argument, because the public support has taken our side. Polls show support for Israel has massively dropped, even in pro-Israel countries like the US.

Some of us DO know as much as we think we do. Not everyone is the idiot that you think they are.

You have yet to explain why you believe Israel are the good guys? But every argument you could make has already been rebuffed anyways, which is why our side can speak out and your side cannot.

Face it: Israel is about to end, likely within the next decade. Palestine won. Israel lost.

vFunct··on Israel says it killed five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza
Yah that's not how the world works. If you feel Israel is being wronged, and are ackshually the good guys, then feel free to state the exact reason publicly. Be convincing! We are listening.

If you can't defend your position, THEN you can go ahead and be silent, instead of telling other people to be silent.

Otherwise, you can go ahead and believe the people making the convincing arguments that Israel are the bad guys.
