Considering that the government legally cannot manage this, it sounds like you are advocating for this whole camera network to be dismantled due to the danger of how it might be used in the wrong hands? That's also a valid take.

Yes but that is the country, not the individual that didn't choose to be born there and also didn't choose to do military service there.

I guess you missed the part where people don't get to choose where they were born, and in the case that where they were born has mandatory military service, whether they are part of that. This is the same stereotyping that leads to the

So I guess for you the same rules would be for Swiss, Danish, Brazilian, Greek and many others that also have mandatory military service?

Since military service is mandatory in Israel, it means that basically any Israeli (with the exception of Hasidic Jews), male or female, is, not by choice, ex-IDF. It isn't a signal of their choices, or willing participation, just of w

I've felt dehydrated while I'm in loading phase, it's very noticeable from that perspective. But the mental effects only come after at least a week (for me: longer attention span, less impacted by poor sleep).

Anywhere that MTN (telecom provider) operates. East and southern Africa mostly.

Also running a wiki. Similar. Had a sign-up based on in-game knowledge. LLMs now crack it and I had to turn off signups about a year ago. Now people email me directly if they want an account.

In Africa they've had this since ~2005 with the Mpesa system. It basically transfers cellphone credits as payment. In certain regions everyone with a dumb phone was hooked up and you could do anything from buy a coconut from a guy on t

I guess it's that, and yes, much as they learned speech patterns from us, now we start to learn from them. I play with local models a lot but also have limited time and the conciseness, polish and human indication in presentation has b

AI usage is great. The problem is the asymmetry in effort between generating text automatically, and then further amplifying this via posting it, while then expecting human eyeballs to spend the time reading it. It is antisocial. If you&#x2

I'd argue Qwen is pushing the Pareto frontier considerably further when you take size into account.

I get a strong LLM smell in your description. If you couldn't bother to write it, why should I bother to read it?

Qwen 3.6 27b is somewhere around Opus 4. It runs on a 5090, a $2k desktop GPU, at reasonable speeds.

William Gibson is a fashion writer. He leaned into this further with the Blue Ant series and IMO the books benefited from it.

Exactly, if it wasn't extraordinary it wouldn't make the news. The problem is when people think what's reported as news is normal rather than exceptional.

Exactly. If you wanted to be a bad citizen you could get much better WiFi performance in shared environments with just a few small firmware tweaks.

If we're evaluating blood and tears for cooling, I'd argue that sweat is significantly better as a renewable resource, and also specifically adapted towards evaporative cooling.

FDM in PLA/PETG sure, although recent advances have improved on this via things like brick layers. Resin based printers are a whole different story though. They can make really durable parts. And even FDM with more advanced filaments h

I feel like the loads would suit electrostatic motors quite well if those could be made appropriately compact.

Do any of those people have gold jewellery or gold-plated contacts on their electronics?

They specific example GP gave was locals being opposed to something. That is textbook nimbyism. Happy for other examples that would demonstrate nuance, but that isn't it.

And yet somehow those people are never advocating for leading by example.

I've seen many posts on Reddit in this AI-induced 'psychosis' when people end up believing the words that get generated for them without applying sufficient critical thought. This sycophancy is a serious problem and exploits

This is clean room implementation 101, and why LLMs are so controversial in terms of licensing.

With the ability of the Qwen3.6 27B, I think in 2 years consumers will be running models of this capability on current hardware.
