See my other comments. I'm not defending them either.

I am defending facts and stating there is no moral high ground.

So that's ok then?

Yes I am aware of the full history of the Middle East back to the middle ages...

The problem really kicked off after the Ottoman reform (Tanzimat) period.

Oh no they are a rotten old pigeon as well and I don't disagree.

What I object to is the "freedom fighters" being painted with moral virtue when they are raping murdering bastards.

No I didn't.

Your second point literally makes no sense and is based on the straw man that babies are holding guns where I made no point even related to that or collateral kills (which are unacceptable). Secondarily my point is based on internationally legal definitions of combatant and evidenced with a video of combatants being trained. Not like the UN and UNICEF haven't been all over this for decades.

Don't use child soldiers and you won't get statistically significant child casualties.

As we're talking absolutes clearly, was the Nova music festival massacre justified resistance?

Nakba - Entirely the result of Ottoman foreign policy, WW1, WW2, League of Nations being a total fuck up.

Suez Crisis - Egypt being dicks

Six Day War - attacked from all sides.

Bit of a contrast, no?

I didn't defend. I just pointed out that the "freedom fighters" in everyone's minds are raping murdering bastards and I refuse to take a moral position and support or defend them for it.

That in itself is an abhorrent position and I am disgusted at anyone who takes it.

And further extrapolation as you edited it, if a child has a gun pointing at your head and has been trained to fire it at you, which is exactly what they have been doing, then they are legally combatants. But it makes a good statistical and PR job which is just as abhorrent. Legally and statistically speakingh, children... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD2FezhJgqA

I would not do this to MY children.

Yeah remember when they left Gaza in 2005. What happened then?

The only productive solution is to get rid of all religious ideology out there (both sides).

Good luck.

Ballistic rockets and massacring people at music festivals don't either.

There's no moral high ground here so don't even pretend there is one.

Israel remembers the Six-Day War...

This comment is exactly why there is no hope out there. Literally zero understanding of middle-Eastern geopolitics other than trite slogans.

Come on. Do you think everyone is going to suddenly start holding hands and singing kumbaya? Or more realistically, like nearly every other surrounding state it'll be the elimination and exodus of Jews and Israelis?

Ignoring the other comments, if you want to make a film camera that isn’t a pain in the ass, yes. Otherwise you can get away with quite a bit.

You’re not going to get 1/1000+ shutters and all that though.

Well it's mostly making sure the risks are properly traded off with suitable demonstrations.

Yeah that. After spending years trying to get reproducible builds, I now have a crazy moving target to deal with.

My existence is defined not but what I adopted but what I sabotaged or refused to deal with. 30 years in I haven't made a mistake and I don't think I am making one here. The positive bets I made have been spot on as well. I think I have a handle on what works for society and humanity at least.

When I say AI, I mean specifically LLMs. There isn't a single future position where all the risks are suitably managed, there is a return of investment and there is not a net loss to society. Faith, hope, lies, fraud and inflated expectations don't cut it and that is what the whole shebang is built on. On top of that, we are entering a time of serious geopolitical instability. Creating more dependencies on large amounts of capital and regional control is totally unacceptable and puts us all at risk.

My integrity is worth more than sucking this teat.

I’m at the fucking loom smashing stage personally.

We don’t have to accept things.

I had that lens. It’s soft as fuck around the edges open.

Peak sharpness is about f/8. They should have had the D5 on aperture priority auto iso, pushed the exposure comp either way and then just fired at f/8 and let the camera make the decisions.

But they are astronauts not photographers :)

The modern Z lenses are far better and sharper open but much larger generally.

My partner works in that space.

Sovereignty and self-sufficiency are big topics. The US centric cloud at least is killing itself through geopolitical risks for gov customers outside the US. Literally number one operational risk now.

Thank you :)

No it’s not. That’s total rubbish.

You can’t coerce quality creative writing out of it however you attempt to gaslight it into doing so.

If a company backtracks on this it still has ethical issues. It didn’t just get away with it this time.

You owe it to yourself and others to stay the fuck away from them.

I think that’s an unfair comparison. It can’t even produce Mills and Boon trash.

We are. Most of our attack traffic is from DO net blocks.

We’ve had integration partners actually move off them because we won’t allow connections.

All LLM output is always dry as fuck quite frankly. At all levels from ideas and concepts through to the actual copy. And that’s dotted with pure excrement.

I think the only reason it’s seen as good anywhere is there are a lot of tasteless and talentless people who can pretend they created whatever was curled out. This goes for code as well.

If I offend anyone I will not be apologising for it.

The worst is "Jony Ive said"

A lot of people in the industry work entirely on faith and marketing. It’s a shit show.

Think it’s less respectable than the terms you use. Maybe gaslighting, sycophant crack-head.
