  • I think the question is, at least in part, rethorical, given the media attention, that would have been hard to ignore.

  • To play the advocate of the devil: vandalism does meet the first definition of violence here: Behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury. (Emphasis mine) It does not need to target a person.

  • Stop Using Brave Browser

    Jump

  • I recognize that issue. Firefox doesn't forward to an app by default, prompting you instead. However, they often immediately forward you to the play store instead when it does not work immediately (not letting you accept the prompt).

    Settings > (Advanced) > Open Links in App (set to always), would make it work (at the cost of every other website also doing so...)

  • As someone who uses iDEAL with Firefox all the time, I have never had it break. You might need to check whether there isn't an extension that causes issues or looking into disabling Enhanced privacy mode for iDEAL.

  • Beyond trying a different browser: try the chrome mask extension for Firefox, some websites that refuse to work only do so because they are hardcoded to.

    • wasnt broke dont fix

    Sadly, security issues are still being found in sudo, so wasn't broke isn't entirely true. Though, whether or not Rust prevents a given security issue is strongly dependent on the kind of issue. Security issues arising from logical errors usually don't get caught, there is only a guarantee for memory management issues.

    • missing some configuration features of base sudo

    One of the things sudo-rs does is implement only a subset of features to decrease the attack surface. A recent security issue did not affect sudo-rs because they simply did not implement the feature that had the (logic) bug. As with many things this is a trade-off.

  • Israel received more funding from the European Innovation Fund than ⅔ of all EU countries combined

  • I doubt the IEC accelerator will fund IBM, as it only funds start-ups and SMEs (small businesses?). They might have gotten Horizon Europe funding, but that generally comes with very strict reporting requirements. You should be able to find the project here if that were the case.

    That said, we don't have much business funding IBM, they have sufficient money from their previous 'ventures'.

  • That is different than 'funding genocidal technologies' that you previously stated though: the grants specifically target civilian (not military) applications, albeit, some technologies may be dual use. It is not like the money is used for murder machines. Nevertheless, disassociating may be a good idea due to these dual use applications.

  • A Gaza City Neighborhood Is Now a Wasteland, Satellite Images Show

    Jump

  • I would love if things weren't as bad as they looked, but...

    Most of the destruction of buildings in Gaza is of empty buildings with no inhabitants. The IDF blows up or bulldozes buildings when they find booby traps in them, have tunnel entrances, provide military advantage, were used for weapons storage or command, were used as sniper or RPG nests, block lines of sight, to clear security corridors, space for military camps and operations, and so on. The list of reasons is long and liberally applied by the bulldozer operators and sappers on the ground.

    (emphasis mine) While destroying military targets is fair, pretty much every building blocks line of sight, including civilian housing, shops, hospitals, and so on. If applied liberally, this essentially amounts to destroy all buildings. Having your house (and nearby facilities, like shops, schools, hospitals) bulldozed will have a severe negative impact on your ability to live, even if you don't die in the bulldozing or destruction of your house.

    The IDF warns before major operations and then almost all civilians leave the area. The evacuation of Rafah is a good example for this. There are also targeted attacks, usually by air, in non evacuated areas, but these are only responsible for a small fraction of the destruction.

    (emphasis mine) While the IDF does do this, and this avoids immediate death for many, it still deprives people of human right to housing. Furthermore, a warning does not provide those who evacuate / flee with housing, food and water - for these there are currently significant shortages, while acting on the warning will have a severe negative impact on being able to provide for oneself - one can only carry so much. A disregard for innocent human lives isn't just civilian deaths, it is also the deprivation of resources that one needs to live.

  • A Gaza City Neighborhood Is Now a Wasteland, Satellite Images Show

    Jump

  • It says 'a neighborhood' not 'one neighborhood '. Furthermore, in the article, it specifically mentions it represents other neighborhoods in Gaza.

    A neighborhood provides an example of the disregard for innocent human lives behind the Israeli attacks, with visual proof provided by satellite imagery, even if it is one of many.

    Stating one neighborhood would imply it is the only one. While the NY Times does not have the best track record, it is needlessly reductive for an article that shows what is happening in Gaza. Especially as a picture of a neighborhood can actually be more impactful than the whole: close enough that you can see individual places where people leave, far enough to see the extent of destruction.

  • Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?

  • Also ImageTragick was a thing, there are definitely security implications to adding dependencies to implement a feature in this way (especially on a shared instance). The API at the very least needs to handle auth, so that your images and videos don't get rotated by others.

    Then you have UX, you may want to show to the user that things have rotated (otherwise button will be deemed non-functional, even if it uses this one-liner behind the scenes), but probably don't want to transfer the entire video multiple times to show this (too slow, costs data).

    Yeah, it is one thing to add a one liner, but another to make a well implemented feature.

  • Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately

    Jump

  • My point was solely that human written documentation is far from as reliable as your comment insinuated it to be. Compared to an LLM it is reliable, but it is far from perfect.

    In my view, an (my?) AI is going to struggle, whether or not the documentation is in order: those models already get confused by different versions of the same library having different interfaces and functions.

  • Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately

    Jump

  • It is concise, contains true information,

    In my experience that is not necessarily guaranteed, documentation is sometimes not updated and the information may be outdated or may even be missing entirely.

    Documentation is much more reliable, yes, but not necessarily always true or complete, sadly enough.

  • Dutch foreign minister resigns after failing to secure sanctions against Israel

    Jump

  • Thanks for the clarification, I don't disagree, I just couldn't completely follow the argument being made.

    NSC to me is an odd party. NSC, or their programme (in so far that existed), is and has been incompatible with this entire government from the get-go. The fact that they have essentially disappeared is due to this, and the fact they essentially did not have any power to change this government whatsoever. Even small steps based on their moral compass were met with hostility from the other parties. I agree that this isn't NSC's responsibility: this latter part is the other parties doing. NSC's biggest failure lies in working together in the first place.

  • Not this guy, don't get it mixed up.

    I might be missing something, I am unsure how your comment about the VVD relates to this minister, as he is part of NSC, not VVD.

    For clarity: I interpret your comment as a statement that this minister (who has stepped down) to not have integrity.

  • 4,000 Meters: Ukrainian Sniper Sets New World-Record Kill Using AI and Drones, Video

    Jump

  • It does have a dictionary entry though, e.g. "the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively”, and I would argue that this definition fits.

    The definition "something that lets a computer perform tasks that are thought to require intelligence" depends on the person, and whether they think something required a form of intelligence. Accounting for all variables over a large distance so you hit your target seems like it requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to me.

    It is a extremely generic term though, almost like using 'software package'. It is more often used as a buzzword than something that provides significant clarification about how it works.

  • Arguably, a smart algorithm that determines parameters is some form of AI, just not an LLM, image generator or other machine learning model.
