kaveh_h··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
The political leaders (not just Trump) and their backers clearly are thinking that AI and robotics will replace most of the work force, so why keep importing new ones. The issue is American citizens will likely face similar but different developments. A future with almost no work in a country and political elite that detest social safety nets will lead to a societal breakdown.
kaveh_h··on OpenAI Jalapeño: Better than Nvidia Blackwell
NVIDIA acquired Groq and have already integrated their technology in their solution. It seems it can really increase inference performance per energy used. I don’t believe The benchmark compares Jalapenjo together with this solution. https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-groq-3-lpx-now-in-...
kaveh_h··on Meta repeatedly snubs EU body over Facebook and Instagram user bans
Asia will ignore US deals, especially on social media. Look at Australia are even more hawkish than EU. Japan and South Korea are more culturally close to China when it comes to social harmony and the will probably follow suit when it comes to be strict on social media even if they allow US media it will be by much stricter rules than US.

Watch your words soon Spain and Morocco will put a toll both for ships passing strait of Gibraltar.
kaveh_h··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
The dictator is labeled the ”dictator” because they’re under fire by US not because they’re an actual dictator. Look at gulf countries and the other dictators that US is partnered with like Al-Sisi in Egypt and the King of Jordan.

Besides the regime did not change. It’s the same regime, the only difference is that US benefits (or some individual people or companies in the US) from this version.

kaveh_h··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Iran’s government haven’t been toppled. People are rallying and united in opposition to foreign invasion and interference.

Iran is a strategic important ally of China and Russia.

US is no longer the world superpower as it once was and has dropped it’s use of soft power completely and relies only upon military force or it’s threat and barely any diplomatic efforts.

The world is not what was even a decade ago. So don’t expect a repeat on what happened after Vietnam and Japan.

France just onshored their gold assets well. US allies are losing confidence.

kaveh_h··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
It’s a nation of 90 million people. Now that basically every facet of society has been hit by a single common enemy, they will galvanize and it won’t matter what name IRGC or whatever you give it they will start to work in unison for common security and deterrence.
kaveh_h··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
The only thing really destroyed is the image of the west and particularly it’s leader the US. Whatever you view of Iranian acts, even wars have laws related to portionality that has been broken.

Also if there ever was an ounce of internal resistance then this war have probably galvanized the population and is aligning everyone to common cause of working on the build up of particularly their national security.

kaveh_h··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Who directly in this war has conducted them rationally at at all times? Did Iran drip feed missiles to Hezbollah and Yemen, perhaps. That sort of tactic was used at a much larger scale when US provided arms to Iraq against Iran in their war in the 80s. Israel attacks against it’s neighbors and caused mass refugee flows is also mostly a result of UK, US and France’s foreign policy in the early 20th century when Israel was being established. Israel funded by US of 300 billion dollars is also a kind of proxy.

It’s hard for most people to have actual objective views and see things from multiple perspectives and your statement is showing clear bias in this regards.

kaveh_h··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
It’s unlikely that Iran will get it’s demands at least all of them, and further it’s likely that this ceasefire will break no matter what.

The strait is actually not international waters. It’s shared between Oman and Iran remember (deep water shipping lanes does not exists everywhere in it as well). There was reporting of an agreement on both sides to some sort of shared booth.

Only the US would be the permanent party to vote against it which would be against which would be weird if the agree to the conditions in the first place.

IAEA are stooges, they will do what the US tells them and they’ll come up with some legitimate way of doing it.

kaveh_h··on The team behind a pro-Iran, Lego-themed viral-video campaign
To be honest both sides are purging top brass. Chinas top brass was too old anyway.

It’s crazy to believe that US would fight China in the pacific in 1-2 years. At this rate I don’t believe China will do anything as it sees US trashing at every point, making it’s allies and trade partners to rethink their strategy towards betting on US as it’s going full postal.
kaveh_h··on Ubuntu 26.04 Ends 46 Years of Silent sudo Passwords
If the issue is knowing that input is being registered they could’ve going with something that does not indicate length, like a rotating fixed place character that shifts at each key press, indicating input is received without showing length.
kaveh_h··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
Israel can’t do anything without US. They don’t have the resources.

Have you tried providing multiple pages at a time to the model? It might do better transcription as it have bigger context to work with.

kaveh_h··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Any company opting for building digital sovereign systems should build a redundant and decentralized organization so that in worst case the company can split up its operations geographically to avoid being in the crosshairs of any host countries government.

Well maybe the old adage need to change
kaveh_h··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
Every actor have it’s own means and tools, Iranian regime is weak and don’t have the capability to stop foreign influence effectively as US or China and other state so they use the crude methods at their disposal.

If US government was in weaker state it would take more radical measures.

kaveh_h··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
US also censors information and also cancel and ban free speech. Of course US is a lot more subtle as it’s not the government directly controlling media but a group of very influential and wealthy people that usually have the interest of the capitalist class.
kaveh_h··on European Commission issues call for evidence on open source
A long time ago Amazon tried to acquire a good online business diapers.com and initially the owners refused. Amazon proceded to get investors or lenders to funds 200 million dollars to undercut sales of diapers.com. Fast forward they were close to bankruptcy and owners were forced to sell it off for a bargain to Amazon. Since then the price of diapers have risen to be very profitable.

The point being that any businesses that sell proprietary software will do the same to kill competition, but in the long run they will end up costing more.

The real issue is government spending is that procurement is very broken even if you would opt for buying support for open source Software. This is not a problem China nor North Korea have due to how corporations have no easy way to influence politics in those Authoritarian countries.

kaveh_h··on EU hits X with €120M fine for breaching the Digital Services Act
Sounds more like SV technologist rulers are trying to conolise the world. Europe is less potent and threatening than even Elon at this point of time.
kaveh_h··on EU hits X with €120M fine for breaching the Digital Services Act
Taxes which are used wisely for the people’s benefit is not a wasteful thing. That was the point original commentator made.

Your reasoning is that taxation is always bad and the more you pay the worst, a very American view which I can understand given how badly US government spends money in this regard.

kaveh_h··on EU hits X with €120M fine for breaching the Digital Services Act
It’s not for profit. Elon put 45 billion dollars into it as a vehicle to influence even more people of the world particularly politicians.

His open stance and clear support or rebuke of various political figures and parties around the world is a clear indication of this.

Probably that before it was given system instructions on how to do compaction and now the compaction is learned by the model making it a native ability of the model without any extra instruction used in the prompt.
kaveh_h··on End of Japanese community
Some people do these type of contribution or charity work not just to do some good but also to feel some autonomy and mastery in a world were much of the regular top down driven drudgery work does not provide much of that feeling. These people are canaries in the coal mine. I expect more people feel a loss of purpose and rise of anxiety and depression in the world.
kaveh_h··on Focus Is Saying No
Nice post, really relatable. It also feels like a management miss. If someone spends years modernizing and only finds out later it “doesn’t count,” that should have been clarified early on.

Tech debt work absolutely adds value, it just rarely gets measured or recognized. Maybe that is one reason so many companies struggle over time, they keep skipping payments on their tech debt interest.

kaveh_h··on U.S. investors, Trump close in on TikTok deal with China
In a democracy where the politicians change every 4-8 years this is receipt for disaster. The next administration will undo action taken by the previous one. In effect destroying any momentum or progress for achieving anything. For China and Russia this is not a problem because of the totalitarian state.
