> that would give them political respect, cease giving Palestinians a bad name that holds them back from the atrocities committed against them from being recognized

Yes the respect Fatah has. Look at the strong words of condemnation from world leaders for the daily pogroms Palestinians are subjected to in the West Bank. Look at the apartheid being enforced there, look at the demolished houses and villages, at the hundreds of illegal settlements, at the ethnic cleansing going on by the day.

Hamas is an excuse as good as any. In fact, given its overwhelming power and impunity, Israel makes and chooses its counterparts. If a Palestinian leader looks too good, they can kill him. If the protests are too peaceful, they can shoot a few people until they turn a bit violent. Hamas was promoted to weaken Fatah. And so on.

Hamas has proposed multiple times long term ceasefires (10 years) and has recognised the 1967 borders. All these proposals went completely ignored and mostly unmentioned in the Western media because that's not useful to Israel.

> The LLM can't describe it, it doesn't see inside itself, however, it has many textbooks in its training dataset, so it will grab an answer from these textbooks because that's how people answer.

EDIT: I see now that you were referring to the answers it uses to justify the result, not the underlying computations. Sorry! You can disregard the actual comment. Leaving for completeness.

ORIGINAL COMMENT:

That's not how it works. Addition in LLMs is believed to function through different mechanisms depending on model size and architecture, but the single consistent finding across different models is that they generalize beyond the training data for at least those simple arithmetic operations.

For example: "Language models use trigonometry to do addition" https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.00873

However that study is using a different data set afaik. There is no indication that the things being requested taken down by Israel are the same as those being studied by HRW.

Its also really difficult to draw any conclusions from the HRW study due to selection bias issues. The sample was sent in by users instead of being chosen randomly from censored posts. Even assuming you agree with HRW's assesment that the posts were peaceful, there is no way to tell from the study if this represents the 0.00001% most "peaceful" of all censored posts or if its the average censored post, and i think that makes a big difference when evaluating this situation. The experimental design of the HRW study is just rather poor, and i think you could use such a design to come to basically any conclusion you want.
I have to question any science with such a strongly held hypothesis and a deadline.

> WASM-powered onnx runtime background removal tool

Yes it's slow because they will most likely execute on CPU (for sure on iOS). WebGPU is still not enabled on safari and WebNN is not even supported anywhere (so that you can use NPU provider). ONNXRuntime is not even the most optimised when running natively (instead of WASM) on iOS, e.g. doesn't support MPS provider (GPU) and NPU provider (via CoreML) implements only subset operators (last time I tried). Safari also provide limitation on WASM memory usage

In practice when you want the best performance you would have to use native app and CoreML with NPU provider and model architecture optimized for NPU. On iOS for now big limitation is available RAM, but even my iPhone 13 mini has exactly the same fast NPU as on my Macbook M2 Max when tested it's having similar speed to running on GPU.
I was talking generally, not this specific set of cuts. From what I know (and what is generally accepted), there is an abundance of waste in government spending.

One defense against it might just be to actively crawl Facebook and externally record the contents of posts as soon as they're posted. Then you have a record of everything that got deleted.

I don't know how you scale that up to make it easy for everyone to find "disappeared" content on any platform. Maybe some kind of peer-to-peer system where everyone's browser cache basically acts as a searchable archive, with a browser plugin that inserts a button into web pages to show disappeared content.

(It's also worth noting that probably a lot of content that was removed by moderators was removed for a legitimate reason. So, ideally you'd have some sort of crowd moderation to get rid of the stuff that really is spam or hate speech or whatever.)

Shingles vaccine found to cut dementia risk by 20%

And that's what I'd love to see. It's not as easy as you make it appear though. An obvious upgrade path for Librem 5 would be a newer SoC from i.MX line as there have been several released since, but all of them are even less suited for a smartphone than i.MX 8M or come with downgrades in some important areas, such as GPU - so this now calls for a complete redesign around a different vendor. Not impossible, but not cheap either.

Grabbing some cheap Android devices is a path to nowhere. Otherwise we all could be just grabbing them and putting postmarketOS on them ourselves, as there's no shortage of such devices on the market.
> The problem is not the bureaucracy.

It absolutely is. Try to open a company in Germany. Then try to do your tax. Then try to close your company.

After that, let's talk again about bureaucracy.

Oh, and the new government just announced plans that non-employeed people (freelancers, business owners, ...) are now forced to pay into national pension (with few exceptions). And don't get me started on that one. Just as an example, national pension charges based on your income. But they have a different way to calculate income than the tax office.

Let me say it in other words if it's not clear yet: If someone is practically unable to do all the above without an accountant then the bureaucracy is absolutely out of hands.
It required attention to detail, from a sysadmin / desktop admin perspective, but it was definitely possible and paid dividends in users being unable to completely destroy machines like they could on the DOS-based Windows versions. I put out a ton of Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and Windows 2000 Pro w/ least-privilege users. It was so convenient to be able to blow away a user's profile and start w/ a clean slate, for the user, w/o having to reload the machine.
You can also use long polling, which keeps alive a connection so the server can respond immediately when there’s new data. For example:

Server

const LONG_POLL_SERVER_TIMEOUT = 8_000

function longPollHandler(req, response) {
// e.g. client can be out of sync if the browser tab was hidden while a new event was triggered
const clientIsOutOfSync = parseInt(req.headers.last_received_event, 10) !== myEvents.count
if (clientIsOutOfSync) {
sendJSON(response, myEvents.count)
return
}

function onMyEvent() {
myEvents.unsubscribe(onMyEvent)
sendJSON(response, myEvents.count)
}
response.setTimeout(LONG_POLL_SERVER_TIMEOUT, onMyEvent)
req.on('error', () => {
myEvents.unsubscribe(onMyEvent)
response.destroy()
})
myEvents.subscribe(onMyEvent)
}

Client (polls when tab is visible)

pollMyEvents()
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
if (!document.hidden)
pollMyEvents()
})

pollMyEvents.isPolling = false
pollMyEvents.oldCount = 0
async function pollMyEvents() {
if (pollMyEvents.isPolling || document.hidden)
return
try {
pollMyEvents.isPolling = true
const response = await fetch('/api/my-events', {
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(LONG_POLL_SERVER_TIMEOUT + 1000),
headers: { last_received_event: pollMyEvents.oldCount }
})
if (response.ok) {
const nMyEvents = await response.json()
if (pollMyEvents.oldCount !== nMyEvents) { // because it could be < or >
pollMyEvents.oldCount = nMyEvents
setUIState('eventsCount', nMyEvents)
}
pollMyEvents.isPolling = false
pollMyEvents()
}
else
throw response.status
}
catch (_) {
pollMyEvents.isPolling = false
setTimeout(pollMyEvents, 5000)
}
}

"5.2 Erlang is banned

Just when we thought everything was going well, in 1998, Erlang
was banned within Ericsson Radio AB (ERA) for new product
development. This ban was the second most significant event in
the history of Erlang: It led indirectly to Open Source Erlang and
was the main reason why Erlang started spreading outside Ericsson.

The reason given for the ban was as follows:

The selection of an implementation language implies a more
long-term commitment than the selection of a processor and
OS, due to the longer life cycle of implemented products.
Use of a proprietary language implies a continued effort to
maintain and further develop the support and the development environment. It further implies that we cannot easily
benefit from, and find synergy with, the evolution following
the large scale deployment of globally used languages. [26]
quoted in [12].

In addition, projects that were already using Erlang were allowed to continue but had to make a plan as to how dependence upon Erlang could be eliminated. Although the ban was only within
ERA, the damage was done. The ban was supported by the Ericsson technical directorate and flying the Erlang flag was thereafter not favored by middle management."

And to be completely fair....

"6.2 Erlang in recent times

In the aftermath of the IT boom, several small companies formed during the boom have survived, and Erlang has successfully rerooted itself outside Ericsson. The ban at Ericsson has not succeeded in completely killing the language, but it has limited its
growth into new product areas.

The plans within Ericsson to wean existing projects off Erlang did not materialise and Erlang is slowly winning ground due to a form of software Darwinism. Erlang projects are being delivered on
time and within budget, and the managers of the Erlang projects are
reluctant to make any changes to functioning and tested software.

The usual survival strategy within Ericsson during this time
period was to call Erlang something else. Erlang had been banned
but OTP hadn’t. So for a while no new projects using Erlang were
started, but it was OK to use OTP. Then questions about OTP
were asked: “Isn’t OTP just a load of Erlang libraries?”—and so
it became “Engine,” and so on."
