Are these not in different cities?

If they are in the same city you could ask the city to rename your street 123 My Street South or something?

There have not been elections held in Gaza in 18 years and Putin’s elections are not considered free and fair - see the arrest of Navalny.

Democratic processes are good because it holds those in power accountable for their actions and should not just be hand waved away as if it doesn’t matter.

And no, what Hamas has done was not mentioned, all that was said was ‘the actions of Hamas’. What actions - did they hold a bake sale? It is unclear and minimized.

I’m not sure how all this can be said with a straight face; that you are “pro-israel” you just think the borders should be set back over 50 years and that a democratically elected government’s actions is worse than those of a terrorist organization.

Not once did you mention what atrocities were committed on Hamas’s side and instead you spent all your effort justifying Hamas by arguing how you think Lukid is worse.

What actions in your opinion would be an appropriate response for people (& government) of Israel to respond to the targeted rape, murder, beheadings of the elderly, men, women, and children, which was filmed by Hamas and sometimes live-streamed on the social media accounts of their victims to show off what they have achieved?

I’m not sure you can claim to be in the middle or support ‘both sides / both peoples’ when you only have bad things to say about one of them.

I think if the tech does not get acquired by someone big you probably will never see it come to market in any meaningful way. AirJet should just let people buy these for DIY to start and build hype and start partnering with OEM’s for preconfigured options.

>we are all going to work together some way or other, and i’m so excited.

I think this means Sam is pushing for OpenAI to be acquired by Microsoft officially now, instead of just unofficially poaching everyone.

> Adam D’Angelo is working on ChatGPT competitor Poe.

> Helen Toner & Tasha McCauley are working with OpenPhilanthropy/Anthropic on GovAI board (former board member Holden Karnofsky left when his wife started to get involved with Anthropic)

These seem like much larger conflicts of interest (working with direct competitors) than working on a company that one day this company might want to purchase a product from.

The board was anemic, lost people and didn’t replace them, and then was small enough that you could fire the chairman of the board and then remove the CEO in a friday night massacre.

New comment by orik in "Jailbroken iOS can't run macOS apps – I spent a week to find out why (2021)"

“There’s also no way to replace the iOS kernel and drivers with the macOS equivalents: macOS only supports M1 devices, and no iOS devices past the iPhone X have known bootloader exploits.”

I believe the Apple Silicon dev kit ran on a A series cpu, might be the entry point to try to investigate, especially if a boatloader exploit is found.

If there was something like a join venture between Apple & FB, it would be incredibly compelling as a software engineer interested in AR/VR to go work for them on it.

Honest question:

There is a lot of talk about Truth Social violating the AGPL license.

If it it a work in progress and not yet public, do they need to share their source code, or do they need to share it once they launch?

New comment by orik in "AMD Radeon Pro W6000X for Mac Pro"

The current video bios’s have x86 assembly in them making them not compatible. Work would need to be done here first. Historically, GPU’s released for Mac’s have had their own bios anyway (EFI support).

Then Apple will need to include drivers for the card in the OS (AMD drivers in MacOS typically lag 9 months from availability of the card for Windows) or alternatively NVIDA would need to write new drivers that Apple approves of, instead of shipping the same binary blob to all three platforms (the NVIDIA drivers were very buggy on MacOS).

Will Apple and AMD / NVIDIA strike up a partnership to do this? Not sure why they would.

I expect NVIDIA to have ARM friendly GPU’s on Windows before AMD though, given their interest in the space & SOC’a they make.

It will be interesting to see if in PC / ARM land if standards arise for motherboards, plug and play components, or if we will only ever sell & buy completely integrated systems.

I wanted this for a long time, but eventually gave up on my MacPro5,1 that I had a Radeon VII in (before that, Vega Frontier, before that R9-280X).

Would like to see some benchmarks with that sort of hardware or with a 6900XT, driver support which came to MacOS only recently. Now I just have an M1 Mac Mini & a PC with Nvidia.

New comment by orik in "Bezos should put his billions in public libraries"

orik — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 17:25:49 +0000

I’m sure thousands of people have ideas of how Bezos should spend his.

Bezos should spend (or not spend) in ways and things he values, to maximize what he gets out of what he’s earned.

(P.S. libraries compete with his book selling business! Why wouldn’t he rather sell a ‘library pass’ on a kindle for a monthly subscription?)
