The dirty secret is that Rheinmetal is now the most "valuable" company in Germany. Politicians skew more pro-israeli-gov than the general population (which is saying something!) and I strongly suspect the military industrial complex to be the reason why.

I don't follow German politics that closely, so I've probably missed something, but how was Baerbock involved in suppressing protests as Foreign Minister?

Her comments at the start of the genocide should be enough for her to lose her position in government. It is really sickening and sad. But when it comes to German politicians, I don't know any that are better.

Sadly she's probably one of the more moderate Germans from the last government. Germany as a whole, learned the most narrow lesson from the Holocaust and Munich Olympics; which, you would think would be "Genocide bad", but is actually "Israel good".

At least Baerbock has acknowledged the suffering and declared that "Palestine belongs to Palestinians". That's such a low bar but the majority of Germans don't clear that. It's very sad, but what can you do?

For so long anything critical has been labelled antisemitic and sometimes also made illegal. The first news org in Germany to do Israel-gov critical reporting would end up in court and might lose it's license.

Try organic maps! It's based on open street map data and doesn't track you.

And HTTP/2 can be used to provide video steaming, but that doesn't mean that nginx will be the next YouTube. This isn't a question of technical feasibility, but project focus. Though, I must admit, I don't follow the development of fediverse software all that closely, so maybe it is on the roadmap.

The president doesn't have that power, but the head of the federal reserve sets interest rates for large banks which set interest rates for most other things in the US. It is a heavily managed thing.

I haven't seen their governance structure yet, but I don't think it will ever be like Altman and OpenAI. Eugen just doesn't have that cult of personality around him, and there's not that much money in a free and open-source platform that doesn't lock people in.

I think it's unlikely that Mastodon (or other federated short form blogging platforms e.g. Pelorama) will integrate live-streaming as it's pretty far outside of the normal content they are built for. There is a project that does support live streaming and is federated though: Peertube https://joinpeertube.org/

I will never get over how much media attention this gets.

Because its all one thing. The promise of AI is that you can basically throw anything at it, and you don't need to understand exactly how/why it makes the connections it does; you just adjust the weights until it kinda looks alright.

There are many structural hacks used to give it better results (and in this case some form of reasoning) but ultimately they're mostly relying on connecting multiple nets together and retrying queries and such. There's no human understandable settings. Neural networks are basically one input and one output (unless you're training it).

 

Recently links shared to me from IOS users using the google app have been obfuscated with search.app/SOMEUNIQUECODE where the app redirects to the originally intended website, but, of course, the person clicking the link is revealed to the owners of search.app.

Does anyone have IOS + google and can confirm this behavior? search.app has no home page and no documentation or reporting about it that I could find (other than that it's a firebase app). The domain was registered to MarkMonitor Inc. in September of last year. But It's not clear to me what MarkMonitor's business actually is–it seems like they could just have registered it on behalf of someone.

Maybe the time was before the Israeli Government assassinated the person they were negotiating with?
