I don’t need a Siri LLM. The current Siri is more than adequate for responding to texts and calling while driving. A lot of the “ai integrations” is marketing material for features nobody will actually use
> But I’d hope you’d fight for the safety of your family and neighbors. Thats literally all it means to be in the idf for most.
This is a perpetual situation, given that Israel's pattern of territorial expansion is always military control over a new area, followed by settlement building. Since now there is a settlement with colonists living in it, now the same starting argument of "defending family and neighbours" applies, since you now need a "buffer zone" to keep the colonists safe, requiring more military control over a new area. Rinse and repeat, and Israelis are always in a situation to be forced to fight "for the safety of their family and neighbours". How convenient.
The way things are going right now, the IDF is trying to cause the total destruction of Israel. Making more enemies when you're already surrounded by enemies (that you made) is rarely a way to any kind of survival. There is only one thing still standing between Israel and complete annihilation, and that's an endless flood of US taxpayer dollars that is at risk of stopping any month now.
It might be a reference to Netanyahu and other high ranking people of Likud who has supported of Hamas for decades, both directly and indirectly via Qatar. It is uncontroversial and there is even a well researched Wikipedia article, but for obvious reasons only include what has happened in the open.
Not taking part of Israel's politics, it was a bit surprising that this hasn't been more controversial but politics in the entire region is complicated, I guess. After all, the corruption in the prime minister's office did cause protests when it was exposed so clearly people care.
respectfully, there is no real evidence that Netanyahu (not Netenyahu) ever said this. if you're not familiar with the politics of the region prior to Oct 7th, a lot of this will be difficult to place in context.
i think Netanyahu is awful, but there are other reasons for support for Hamas -- i say this as someone who studied this extensively prior to 2023.
There are plenty of people horrified with both Israel and Hamas, and that while sympathizing with the plight of the Palestinians, think Hamas is hurting their chances of a peaceful solution.
Many people think Israel's right-wing and Hamas need each other, a kind of symbiosis. (Netanyahu certainly needs Hamas to exist).
Of course, the Israeli right wing wants to paint any opposition as pro Hamas anti semites. It's a time tested tactic.
No, virtually no one is supporting Hamas. Stop parroting that. Please allow me to be against genocide without accusing me of supporting a terrorist regime. It's dishonest. Thanks.
They’ve made peace with: Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, the UAE and Saudi. Hamas started the war because they were threatened by that. So no they don’t cultivate enemies. Islamists that hate Jews for not being part of their empire hate them.
Of course the other side of that is that Israel hasn't exactly been kind to the Palestinians. They've been Annexing land in the West Bank and blockading Gaza for what now seems like forever. I can certainly understand why Palestinians might be pissed, even if some of their tactics are abhorrent.
this is true, but i find it difficult to earnestly believe there would be some sizable decrease in violence in the counterfactual with no Gaza blockade. Settlements, sure.
Well since their land got invaded, houses stolen and demolished, burial grounds defiled, poisened with chemical weapons, ethnically dispelled, and crammed onto a piece of land the size of a city , I'd get why they'd still be pissed at the current state of affairs. This did not start on October 7th.
Arabs invaded and colonised Israel in 650. You can easily learn this from any textbook you like.
Their land is 22 countries, the nearly entire middle east and north africa you can learn that for many map.
Jews that were exiled to Iraq or Persia or Syria will be killed. You can learn this from any media you like that covers current affairs.
You can also see that Gaza has many wide open spaces by looking at the satellite view on Google maps.
People that wish to make a 23rd arab state and destroy the only Jewish state - as they proudly chant in the streets worldwide - generally propose doing this through violence you can learn this by looking at your own account history.
Israel are setting up international Arab governance for Gaza. And yes they’re understandably wary of anything coming from the UN, which as I’m sure you’ve aware runs schools teaching children to kill as many Jews as possible even if they potentially die in the process.
It didn’t. Arab league told arabs to leave the new country while they destroyed it. There were some notable skirmishes but no widespread forced evictions like the Arab nations did to the Jews. That’s why there’s 2M Israeli arabs.
They made peace with Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon by invading their lands (and attempting to annex them!) and then US forced their hands to make peace. Please mention the context of this great "peace" Israel has made. Israel's neighbors don't hate it solely because of antisemitism.
Saudi didn’t normalize because Hamas prevented it. October 7 was designed to radicalize and prevent normalization of relations. You’re helping them by reframing a justifiable war of self defense against terrorists as a “genocide”.
> Saudi didn’t normalize because Hamas prevented it. October 7 was designed to radicalize and prevent normalization of relations
Hamas prevented it because Israel has no free will? Israel is doomed to only react to Hamas?
Israel had an option to preserve their normalization and gain and keep the sympathy of the entire world. Instead they prefered to do annihilation and genocide.
Yes, they didn’t normalize, so they’re irrelevant to the peace equation floated by the person I replied to.
So a genocidal campaign to level Gaza and cleanse it of its human anima- oops, I meant people, expand settlements in the WB, and occupy southern Lebanon and Syria in pursuit of a “Greater Israel” is self-defense. Makes total sense.
Regardless of the number of rows, it doesn't really matter, there are useful cases for where you might be consuming json directly, so instead of parsing it out into a schema for your database, why not just keep it raw and utilize the tools of the database.
Well, also no licensing costs to AMD/intel. So even if at slightly worse performance per chip it’ll end up being cheaper still. AWS doesn’t need to make money on their chips, as they already have the Ec2 margin.
My company is on prem, spending north of 1 billion per year. Cloud is actually cheaper when considering total cost of ownership. Thats salaries, opex, capex costs. Worse, our speed to delivery is generally worse.
Because on prem is inelastic, we are at sub 10% peak utilization of compute resources. If we added in the likely higher cloud utilization rate we are talking of 30%+ savings from on prem.
That's not unusual. First off, sometimes 1000 extra dollars will get you a ton more compute you need so why not and second, on prem tends to be extremely inelastic so you buy a ton of compute because you never know when compute requirements change.
If we're talking on the scale of $1,000s then it's cheaper to run on-prem than in the cloud. It's really easy to spend $1,000 on managed kubernetes and have very little actual compute.
Peak Utilization is a tough one for on prem and is a decent argument for cloud. I was at a company that was also at <10% peak utilization most of the time. It was finance, so it was mostly doing nothing, except for the couple days a year where we shot up 10000x, so we had to build for that case. So yeah losing the data centers, and cloud was a cost savings.
So the "obvious" (but complex!) solution is a "hybrid cloud": use on-prem for the predictable, constant "DC component" of your demand, and use cloud for cyclical or unpredictable demand changes. That will keep peak demand decoupled from permanently provisioned capacity while saving on always-utilized capacity. Easier said than done, of course.
The route we ended up going, was hybrid cloud with a colocation for on-prem (Mainframes and a few servers), and then AWS for the cloud portion. Not sure on what the cost savings were. As I wrote the authentication service I knew what those numbers were, so I knew that on a normal day we would be sitting at 1% cpu usage basically all day except market open/close. And then fiscal quarter ends were a big bump. And then of course big news days. 99% of the time for 99% of the days were just nothing.
