This is grossly misleading reporting.

The deaths were caused by a stampede. Very small number of people were fired on after approaching a military checkpoint and after warning fires.

Still a tragedy, but nothing like what the title makes it out to be.

A stampede caused by Israel forces opening fire on the crowd.

It is not helpful that you just made that up on the spot. Not even close to what you linked to, or what both sides claim.

That’s not the description of a stampede which would result in killing 100+ people, even if true.

We will probably never know exactly what happened, as we only have IDF- and Hamas-controlled reporting of it, both obviously heavily skewed.

But the claim that this is Israeli military simply shooting to murder 100+ people is to say the least obviously unsubstantiated.

I am not excusing anybody, I am just tired of the blatant propaganda with zero reliable sources.

What you describe is horrible, and also it is simply not real, but entirely the result of your imagination. No source claims any of this the way you describe it.

In fact the latest reports describe two separate events, one where the stampede occurred, with no IDF involvement, and another event where there was a shooting at a check point. There is NO way to know what exactly happened from behind the keyboard. At this point all your claims are only the reflection of your beliefs, and nothing more.

“/s” perhaps?

LLMs are really crappy at writing books right now.

However there is zero evidence they will not get better, in fact they are getting exponentially better all the time at all tasks which are getting measured.

My bet is on LLMs soon being able to put out mediocre fiction, and then not much later great fiction, indistinguishable from the best authors out there.

Interesting but that’s not what I’m getting at all from gemma and phi on ollama.

Then again on a second attempt I get wildly different resutls, for both of them. Might be a matter of advanced settings, like temperature, but single examples don’t seem to be indicative of one being better than the other at this type of Qs.

False.

The pedestrian in that accident was struck by a human driver, hit and run, THEN they hit the Waymo, which did a pull-over maneuver. It did drag the victim (of the HUMAN) in error. It did not strike them at all.

In fact the actual real issue was the C-suite trying to cover it up, intead of being upfront with the DMV. THAT’S what got Waymo in trouble. All fired now, as expected, the shitheads.

There is no contradiction in anything you just said. To defend agains Hamas is a necessity. To try and help humans in pain as well.

Full access to NFC, bring your own browser engine, zero fees on third party stores, the changes are genuinely positive. What makes you say they feel like “retaliation”?

kfet, 3 months ago

The EXISTING fees have changed, there is no 30% fee. It’s 17% now.

You are saying this as if 1M users is something that just happens overnight. This is a huge number, and there are very few non-profit generating apps which have that kind of reach.

Read it again:

The new business terms for iOS apps in the EU have three elements: Reduced commission — iOS apps on the App Store will pay a reduced commission of either 10 percent (for the vast majority of developers, and subscriptions following their first year) or 17 percent on transactions for digital goods and services.

Qouted verbatm from here: apple.com/…/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari…

There is NO 30% fee anymore, it is going to be 10% for most, 17% for some

Also there is a fee waiver for certain devs, like NPOs and educational orgs. Overall there is a TON of great stuff coming to EU and absolutely no negatives.

Zero negatives, NOTHING is getting worse, and a lot is getting much much better.

Also it is 1M users annually, i.e. just in the past 12 months. A significant detail.

Replace “Windows” with “Windows Phone”.

Again, it is not every time at all. Its after 1 MILLION first-time installs (per user, not devcie) in the last 12 months. This is an incredibly large number of installs!
