I've been using Rust's Burn library recently and have avoided writing kernels in CubeCL because it's lack of documentation and my lack of experience. I would love to see some working together here.

How does this interact with RealPage and other algorithmic price fixing software?

Sure. Or the Bank of England stealing $5B of Venezuela's gold since 2019 - which they still won't give back: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/06/bank-of-eng...

This is almost exactly echoes how European leaders were completely fine with the US illegally blockading and invading Venezuela and then a week later Trump wants Greenland and suddenly they care about "territorial integrity" and what not.

What Israel and the USA is doing in the ME is uniquely evil. There are likely hundreds of thousands dead in Gaza. Children intentionally killed by snipers, famine as a tool of war, the displacement of millions of people.

We need a Nuremberg trial for the genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and the illegal attacks on 7 countries in the Middle East.

We need to prosecute both the Biden and Trump administration, the Israeli leadership, and the leadership of most European countries. Never again is never again.

FYI, Wiz investor and current Wiz board member Gili Raanan, head of Israeli VC Cyberstarts, has been (credibly) accused of paying bribes to major CISOs for buying software from their portfolio companies like Wiz.

Calcalist did a deep investigation into it: https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/b1a1jn00hc

That was about 10 of the 50 fired. I know multiple people who were fired in a completely different office simply for standing near a sign.

I think it is a fair question: why is this allowed to stay on the front page while the deaths of people in Gaza is not? Israel just killed a bunch of journalists for organizations like the Associated Press in a double tap strike on a hospital and we're not allowed to discuss it?

I graduated 10 years ago from a public university in the US (albeit one of the best ones - so everyone was your typical high achieving student) and all of this tracks except for the functional illiteracy part.

Chronic absenteeism was normal. Disappearing students was normal. Pretending to take notes was normal. Indifference was normal. I'm sure all of the above has __always__ been happening.

I only realized how far down the rabbit hole Marc was when he was one of the first interviewees for a guy who came out of the neo-Nazi Salo forum, which means he was almost certainly reading Salo forum.

What do you think the Ministry of Defense does?

Are you aware of the recent revelations that it is using AI to indiscriminately kill people at their home? https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

Do you have an evidence that they aren't using Project Nimbus for this? Spoiler: you do not - none of us do.

Google employees didn't join to build weapons. Google lied to them about the nature of Project Nimbus, saying it was just for civilian use. This was proven to be a lie: https://time.com/6966102/google-contract-israel-defense-mini...

Google has a set of AI principles: https://ai.google/responsibility/principles/

These include:

> AI applications we will not pursue

> In addition to the above objectives, we will not design or deploy AI in the following application areas:

> 1. Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Where there is a material risk of harm, we will proceed only where we believe that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks, and will incorporate appropriate safety constraints.

> 2. Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.

> 3. Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms.

> 4. Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.

The contract goes against those principles. Employees rightfully speak out about this and stonewalled.

Maybe because the article is an interview with someone at the NYC sit-in?

Creating a robust bus network with dedicated bus lanes vs an extensive rail system.

I've also lived in both cities and Seattle's buses are timely and clean. MTA buses are much, much worse.
