guerrilla··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
> Hamas was insane to think that Bibi would NOT BOMB the Gaza in retaliation.

My theory is that they knew this would happen and they did it because they knew it would garner support (which it did) and they also knew they had nothing to lose because this is what would have happened in the long-term anyway. They chose between a quick death and a slow death. Unfortunately, everyone else who originally chose them to protect them didn't get to choose. I doubt most would have voted for this if they had that choice.

guerrilla··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
You didn't actually address the actual point. Israel and it's defenders have been lying about the death toll this entire time and Hamas was not.

> - Israel's response was hasty, unplanned, purely driven by emotion at the beginning, and it quickly grew beyond any reason in the next weeks.

This is also an extreme understatement. It's literally a genocide.

guerrilla··on Looks like it is happening
Nope, the site is down.
guerrilla··on Looks like it is happening
Website's down. What was it about?
guerrilla··on Making Wolfram tech available as a foundation tool for LLM systems
Fucking finally. What took them so long. This needed to be done day one.
guerrilla··on CXMT has been offering DDR4 chips at about half the prevailing market rate
I was wondering when people would find out about CXMT. I wish them luck and hope the US doesn't sabotage them. We need diversity and competition right now.
guerrilla··on How far back in time can you understand English?
Man, I really needed this when I was studying OE. I was trying to do the Alice in Wonderland book and an Oxford textbook but it was really a lot of work compared to other language learning (even compared to Latin). This would have made it a lot more fun.
guerrilla··on How far back in time can you understand English?
Man when I read Adam Smith, that was a challenge. Not only is his Enlgish super archaic with all kinds of strange units, but he writes these incredibly long logically dense sentences.
guerrilla··on Facebook is cooked
> No, it's not. Once Meta identifies you as male, you will get almost exclusively thirst trap posts no matter what you do. It started about two years ago.

Bullshit. This happens because you engaged. I never engaged with it in the slightest and it disappeared. I mostly just get snakes and local stuff now.

guerrilla··on Keep Android Open
> their primary desktop

You're moving the goal post. Linix competed with the biggest software companies in the world in the server world and won. We can do it again in another market.

guerrilla··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
There has never been a leftist government in the US. You seem a bit lost.
guerrilla··on BarraCUDA Open-source CUDA compiler targeting AMD GPUs
> That is incorrect, and the FP8 issue is both the officially stated reason and the reason that the community has independently verified.

That is incorrect. It works fine. It could be better, but it works.

> AMD has been rather open about it.

Maybe you're right, but everyone else I've been in contact with (includding r/AMD and r/radeon) and everyone I've watched videos from on this subject say the complete opposite. Google also contradicts you "AMD has not officially released or confirmed plans to bring FSR 4 to older graphics cards. AMD has stated they have 'no updates to share' regarding support for older Radeon." It sounds like you may have imagined that.

guerrilla··on BarraCUDA Open-source CUDA compiler targeting AMD GPUs
> Because FSR4 is currently slower on RDNA3 due to lack of support of FP8 in hardware, and switching to FP16 makes it almost as slow as native rendering in a lot of cases.

It works fine.

> They're working the problem, but slandering them over it isn't going to make it come out any faster.

You have insider info everyone else doesn't? They haven't said any such thing yet last I checked. If that were true, they should have said that.

guerrilla··on BarraCUDA Open-source CUDA compiler targeting AMD GPUs
> couldn't

More like wouldn't* most of the time.

Well isn't that the case with a few other things? FSR4 on older cards is one example right now. AMD still won't officially support it. I think they will though. Too much negativity around it. Half the posts on r/AMD are people complaining about it.

guerrilla··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
Yeah that's not actually good. As much as I'd never use anything from Microsoft, having less diversity is not a step in the right direction.
guerrilla··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
No.
guerrilla··on SCM as a database for the code
That's what I remember most about it: how much it lowered expectations on us. We barely ever worked because most of the time we couldn't. It was always broken (not just slow). This became a part of the culture where management didn't even care what we did. They knew eventually things would get done (late) but we'd also have to wait. That was just part of it.
guerrilla··on SCM as a database for the code
> clear case

Please no.

guerrilla··on Vim 9.2
That's good to know. I've never actually tried Copilot. I was going to try this week.
guerrilla··on Vim 9.2
I agree and I know what you're saying, but I'm pretty curious: how are people using AI with vim? I've seen some scripts for ollama but what are most people doing?
guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
My original comment turned out to be accurate. I'm not sure what you don't understand.
guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
Well, turns out I was right, so I can't help you there if you didn't understand what I said.
guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
> Russia and Ukraine can't stop drones. Does the US have a secret weapon?

That does actually seem to be what they are saying now, yes.

guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
> A cartel using a SAM against a US civilian aircraft would massively solidify public opinion against them

In what world is public opinion not universally against the cartels? It's hard to take you seriously after that.

guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
> I guess my question is, doesn't this happen all the time?

Yes, all the time.

guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
This is real life. They don't to cause a problem they can't solve.
guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
Dropping nuclear bombs on Japan was in an entirely different context which has no relevance here. We're not in the middle of a global war (nor is anyone even at war with Mexico), nor in a nuclear arms race asserting nuclear capabilities for the first time in history.

You're forgetting all the times the US failed too, and those cases weren't even on its own border. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam... the list is very long. Creating an existential threat on your own border is a bad move for anyone. Remember how bad Columbia got? I guess not. The current situation has the potential to be much more dangerous.

guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
I personally don't think that's the whole story. They're likely going to act against the cartels to take out cross-border drone capabilities and are preparing for S-A retaliation as well.
guerrilla··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
They would want to avoid escalation. Escalation with cartels historically does not go well for anyone involved.

It seems like you linked to a different area on the border to Mexicali?
