IOT_Apprentice··on Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds
The US military has been murdering fishermen off the coast of South America this year, after firing on the boats, disabling them they were shown no quarter and kill shot orders were given AND EXECUTED. Those are WAR CRIMES. The US military has done war crimes alongside the IDF over during this current year in Iran. Furthermore, the President of The United States has publicly stated he will destroy the Iranian civilization. He has ordered new very large bombs be built to Drop on Iran. Do you care to acknowledge these facts?
IOT_Apprentice··on Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds
No you aren’t. Your repeated comments show otherwise. You have trivialized their deaths, ignored other findings and demonstrated a distinct lack of empathy. Do better.

IOT_Apprentice··on AMD acquires Taalas to boost inference performance by etching models in silicon
I tried it. I asked where Bruce Lee was born. It stated he was born in Hong Kong. I challenged it and it went further naming a hospital there. I stated he was born in San Francisco and it apologized and then said his father was a missionary traveling in America, which was also wrong. Bruce’s father was a famous Cantonese Opera singer and actor.

This model had zero information right, while being fast in responding.

Unacceptable.

IOT_Apprentice··on An Uncomplicated Man – A review of The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan
She is a scholar of the subject and wrote a well regarded translation of the Odyssey. She is a subject matter expert. And Nolan mentioned her in reference to his movie. I read the whole review and now I’ll read her book.

I am from the USA and 401k + IRAs are the terms here and yes they are going to be used. Your point?
IOT_Apprentice··on The KIDS Act would require age checks to get online
Protect them from what? The known associates of trafficking associated with Maxwel & Epstein have not been fully exposed or prosecuted, instead their names are hidden. Nothing is happening. This is an attempt to force identity in all things. It should be stopped.
IOT_Apprentice··on Steam Machine launches today
I’d just like to buy steamOS and install it on my ryzen 9 desktop and my Ryzen laptop.
IOT_Apprentice··on Jef Raskin, the Visionary Behind the Mac (2013)
Way back when I worked at HP in the Software Development Technology Lab, we invited a series of speakers to talk about their view of technology.

We had folks such as Jef Raskin, Ted Nelson, Douglas Englebart, James Burke. All quite fascinating & inspiring people.

Jef brought a Cannon Cat and discussed his views on User Interfaces & more. The MPE OS engineering guys were rather sarcastic in hearing his methodology around the OS approach of the CAT.

It will be interesting for someone to track this activity and see what the trigger is for this to occur.
IOT_Apprentice··on Native Instant Space Switching on macOS
A lifetime license for BetterTouchTool with ALL its features is $25. The time the author spent on this is well over that amount.
IOT_Apprentice··on Creating the Futurescape for the Fifth Element (2019)
It means she came up with the idea and partnered with someone to build the code. Pretty simple to understand.

I’ve watched Milla on social media discussing this project, she is working with a developer who is a friend of hers to have it go forward.
IOT_Apprentice··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
And then France sent Khomeini back to Iran on a chartered Air France 747 & stifled that. France also built Dimona nuclear plant in Israel in 1963 and then tested multiple times nuclear weapons in Algeria from 1960-1966 in the Algerian Sahara & mountains & allowed Israel to observe these explosions.
IOT_Apprentice··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
If Israel & the US prevail, Israel will treat Iran as the do their other neighbors, bombing them whenever they feel like it and murdering your relatives there. Take a look at Syria where they installed the head of Al-Qaeda/HTS. The IDF has carried out 600 attacks there since 2024 till present. They have attacked the following areas since 2023: Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria & Yemen.
IOT_Apprentice··on I verified my LinkedIn identity. Here's what I handed over
So LinkedIn’s 1st CEO Reid Hoffman who was all up in relationships with Epstein & Bone Saw, yakking it up with monsters is the place to store your employment history? To provide a blue checkmark? To feed into copliot & be sold to AI weapons vendors & gruesome thugs like Palantir’s CEO & Chairman? Yikes.
IOT_Apprentice··on X offices raided in France as UK opens fresh investigation into Grok
They will set their DNS servers to drop all incoming connections to X. That can be done in each country. They can use Deep Packet inspection tools and go from there. If the decision is EU wide then they will roll that out.
IOT_Apprentice··on From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown
Do you mean Sunni vs Shia? I don’t think that is a reasonable statement by you. Will you also apply that term to Ireland?
IOT_Apprentice··on From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown
The government was ignoring Starlink until it was being used by western clandestine agencies & Israel to foment violence and burning down property. People were being paid for each act of violence they committed, by those spy agencies.

The Iranian government then used Chinese tech to block Starlink, shutdown the external internet and the violence stopped.

IOT_Apprentice··on From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown
Palestinians certainly aren’t in the occupied territories. Nor are Christians. Israel is an apartheid state which legalizes taking farms, homes and whatever else by “settlers “ using violence to steal and murder.
IOT_Apprentice··on From stealth blackout to whitelisting: Inside the Iranian shutdown
Sure, just ignore the sanctions applied against the people of Iran by western colonialist countries for decades upon decades. You think that hasn’t had an impact on society there? When my wife and I were planning our wedding here in the US 26 years ago, I spoke with someone in the state department then about allowing her family members to attend our wedding in the USA. They were very clear that, they would not allow that as the goal was to impose US restrictions on the citizens of Iran rather than just the government.

Imagine economic sanctions for much more than 30 years, western spy agencies actively engaged in espionage and injury against your country. What would your economy be like?

Is it any wonder nations are engaged in BRICS to escape American global hegemony?

IOT_Apprentice··on eBay explicitly bans AI "buy for me" agents in user agreement update
Wow. I remember Ubid, and I bought several things from it. It would become problematic when folks would bid up things far beyond the starting price.
IOT_Apprentice··on eBay explicitly bans AI "buy for me" agents in user agreement update
If I am able to find what I’m looking for and purchase it via AI why must I be subjected to advertising & promotion of items in have zero interest in? Amazon has made finding what I want painful. I suspect eBay is just as painful (I see to work there).
IOT_Apprentice··on Design Thinking Books (2024)
I’d retort that software developers aren’t domain experts either. At the end of the day you either luck out if domain experts and actual users are involved in eliminating toil (in the sense that Google defines that) and optimizing the user experience, while reducing friction in applications and providing insights into data.
IOT_Apprentice··on Design Thinking Books (2024)
Yet I suspect that mechanical engineers are not writing software for companies in the large. There are software developers doing so.

I suspect that they should be consulted by data science folks as domain experts.

That said won’t AI replace both? ;)
