  • Hamas says no hostage will leave alive unless group's demands met

  • Frankly both are awful and both should not be allowed to take control of Israel/Palestine. I have no idea what solution there is to this conflict honestly, I just want things to stay somewhat factual.

    I agree that the 5000 figure seems highly improbable. Israel has been quite effective at killing high members of Hamas but I doubt they have killed 5000 out of the 30000 militants.

  • Where did I say that one side didn't want to genocide the other ? Hamas is more public about it and won't even try to justify their civilian killings, but Netanhyu government has made it clear again and again that they are willing to do collective punishment. The high civilian death rate is of course intentional.

    Hamas has also killed plenty of civilians, and they don't even try to pretend that it was accidental. That said you are close to their ratio which is three civilians for every military death.

    Israel's civilian deaths to militant deaths is probably higher due to the usage of bombs (10 civilian deaths per explosion) and intentional starvation but it isn't 100:1.

    Hamas' strategy of hiding behind civilians is also a war crime since it obviously increases the number of civilians killed.

    If you believe Israeli propaganda, they have killed 5000 Hamas militants. Reality is probably smaller than that, but since Hamas intentionally doesn't publish their militant casualties we won't have a good estimation. That said 500 Israeli soldiers have died and seeing the asymmetry in warfare, you can expect much more Hamas militants to have died. I have not been able to find an estimate from an independent source.

  • Yes ? Do you really think only 200 Hamas militants were killed ? Because that's what your ratio would suggest.

    Israel is unnecessarily killing and starving civilians, but once again gross misinformation serves nobody and only justifies more horrors.

  • Where do you see that I'm supporting them? I literally reiterated in many comments that what they want is a war crime. No need to invent some other objectives they are plenty awful enough.

    Truth matters, especially in conflicts like this.

  • Yes it is a clear war crime don't get me wrong. But exaggeration has no use when reality is awful enough.

    Hamas is a terrorist organisation that will not hesitate to kill civilians to achieve their ideals. They do not publicly at least want to kill all Jews.

  • Hamas says no hostage will leave alive unless group's demands met

    Jump

  • Well yes ? How else would you want to do this. I just gave you an example of a senior Hamas officer saying kill all Jews and Hamas saying they do not agree.

    I have no doubt Hamas leadership is a bunch of genocidal maniacs but their official stance has been in the past the forceful displacement and nowadays it's the return to pre 1967 borders. They are ready to admit to the existence of Israel, not by pleasure mind you, but their official stance nowadays is that they are partially open to a two state solution if the right to return is put in place.

    This might be a bunch of lies, but it is their official position.

  • Thanks I was too lazy to find the exact citation.

    Do you see the difference between what you said and their charter ? What Hamas wants is awful enough, no need to exaggerate.

  • They don't want to kill all Jews. They want the expulsion of all Jews from Israel/Palestine. At least according to their original manifesto, they've changed it to remove this part to be fair.

    It can be argued that the Israeli government wants the same thing for the Palestinians.

    Jump

  • I mean yes in the sense that the capture of civilians has a clear military objective. Doesn't make it less awful.

    One genocidal state doesn't justify another one. There are no good guys in this conflict. That said one side has more bombs than the other so we should be focusing on that side. But please, no justifying war crimes.

  • Mamba: Linear-Time Sequence Modeling with Selective State Spaces

    Jump

  • You can find a demo here if you want to test a 3 billion parameter model using this architecture that was trained on the pile.

    The evolution of attention alternatives is an exciting one, long context lengths are becoming realistic. Here's a graph of the training time vs sequence length from the paper. At the 128K mark we have a 100X speedup compared to attention.

  • There's no Data Science Community on Programming.dev - Would posts about Data Science be appropriate here?

  • Hi, I'm the moderator of this community. Should be fine, data treatment is a big part of machine learning.

  • Its okay it was just a typo

  • That's not exactly true. If you make parmigiano you have to follow pretty strict manufacturing procedures to ensure that the cheeses have the same taste.

    It's pretty much the same thing as a brand except it's not produced by one structure but several independent structures. The main advantage is that you know what you are getting.

  • These companies pollute to satisfy a demand. If people stopped driving cars, TotalEnergy and Shell would sell less oil.

    Where these companies are evil is when they try to influence people and politicians. For example jay walking is a crime because of them.

    That said taxing the hell out of these polluting industries is a solution, as it will raise the oil price and force people to consume less.

  • Most surprisingly, the inspectors observed barefoot employees working in a sterile area of the facility, where they should have been wearing shoes—plus gowns, gloves, and shoe booties. (The barefoot workers were also not wearing gowns or gloves.) A production manager puzzlingly told FDA inspectors that shoeless work is "standard practice."

    They were supposed to cover everything including the feet.
