>>GoaChronicle through its intelligence network has learned that Israeli intelligence successfully intercepted a shipment of pager batteries that had been ordered from B&H Photo. The order was placed from Lebanon. Acting on a confirmed tip, the intelligence agency seized the shipment and covertly modified the batteries. Small, undetectable explosives known as Kiska 3 were inserted into the battery casings and connected to the battery wires via a discreet chip. The pager model was Rugged Pager AR924 IP67. The operation code word was ‘Below the Belt’.
If it is confirmed I'd expect it to actually boost B&H's business, as long as B&H didn't actually know of or participate in the tampering with the shipment.
As you note B&H is well known for being run by Orthodox Jews. So why the heck would Hezbollah, an organization that wants to destroy Israel, buy their batteries from B&H?
It suggests that B&H is a really great place to buy things, so much better than the alternatives that even if dealing with Jews goes against your fundamental beliefs it is worth it.
Fortunately, AI interests are massive and well funded. I am confident suggestions will be the best that money can buy.
This isn't a complaint but a perspective to add some context (and to remind that the public is the least-funded stakeholder in a gov RFC).
I don't weigh heavily for or against AI/DL/LLM/ML computing. I do hope our gov representatives 1) have sufficient wisdom/knowledge and 2) are well-enough insulated from corruption to write regs that benefit the public, long-term.
No, the interests that are well funded are of closed-source AI to maintain an unfair and artificial moat against open-source AI. In contrast, the interests of open-source AI are not that well funded.
> are well-enough insulated from corruption
They really are not, and the Supreme Court isn't either. In fact, lying and scheming practically are prerequisites to being a politician.
It was an easy decision. You can't allow one single company to own all the major web dev tools. I'm surprised they actually decided this, since the EU has a history of turning a blind eye to some of these deals.
The northern wind brings snow and ice
Humans starve and freeze
The Fimbul winter has arrived
And soon the world will cease to be
Brother will be brother′s bane
No one shall be spared
All will die, none remain
That is mankind's share
The southern sphere is set ablaze
Muspel′s fire is set free
The sun is on its final chase
And soon the world will cease to be
Across the western sky he runs
A wolf so grim and mean
Devours the eternal sun
And soon the world will cease to be
Nah they've shot and trapped most dingos over that side. They don't recognise them as native animals so they allow eradication. its sad af :( they rare as over west.
