They’re a platform company that provides services. They could build proprietary services on top of a Linux distro. Basically the same as they’re doing now with Edge.

How many Americans were killed by Nazi Germany vs the other way around?

Intentions and moral frameworks matter, not only the sheer numbers of casualties.

That’s a conspiracy. It’s not plausible at all why they would attack the US and then immediately agree to pay for compensation.

Consider reading or listening to this on the question of moral equivalence:

I think you’re lying about the “covering up” bits of this story. Investigations into the incident started right away, with the Israeli Air Force claiming that they had mistaken the ship for an Egyptian battle ship. As a result, Israel agreed to pay compensation as mentioned in the article:

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$28 million in 2022) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($28.5 million in 2022) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($21.3 million in 2022) as the final settlement for material damage to the ship plus 13 years of interest.

Is it just me or is this community heavily biased? I wonder if this pro-Hamas stance is really present on Lemmy or if there’s some bot activity going on.

After seeing this bullshit, I have an offtopic question: can you block accounts on Lemmy? Pretty sure I never want to read any other line of this guy in my life.

Can you talk more about this here by posting a good quality source?

Their CEO was active on 4chan when they started the company

This one made me giggle. Who are you, the moral internet police?

Glory to Valve for investing in Proton.

I keep it as Ricky Gervais once put it: for a true religion of peace, the most extreme followers would be extremely peaceful.

Many Muslim leaders have called Islam a religion of peace. For example, the former Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, has said that “Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance” and that “it is against all forms of violence and terrorism.” The current Grand Imam, Ahmed al-Tayyib, has also said that “Islam is a religion of peace and love” and that “it is against all forms of violence and extremism.”

Other Muslim leaders who have called Islam a religion of peace include the former King Abdullah II of Jordan, the former President of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad.

Sure, it can plagiarize works it has been trained on. They didn’t show in the study, however, that this has occurred for copyright protected material like fiction books.

LLMs have been caught plagiarising works

Any source for this? I have never seen that.

I’m highly skeptical about GPT4 having been directly trained on copyrighted material by Stephen King. Simply by all the sheer information about his works, including summaries, themes, characters, and critical analyses that are publicly available, a good LLM can appear to be able to plagiarize these works, while it doesn’t. If I’m right, there is no leverage for creators to complain. Just accept that that’s the world we’re living in now. I don’t see why this world will stop the sales of books or movie rights on books, etc.

Then don’t dare to generate any tokens based on them!

Never, where did you read that? :D

Recalibrate your irony sensors.

No vacation days in the first 12 months. Then 2 weeks of vacation per year, three weeks after 5 years of consecutive employment.

Damn, I’m happy to live and work in Europe right now, assuming that these are comparable numbers across the North American job landscape.

“Linus Media Group believes that vacation is a necessary opportunity for people to relax, refresh and recharge.” LMAO

The rules on sick leave look quite awful as well.

Yours doesn’t play for me though

Cool! Gonna buy Ultra for a year and then switch to the ad-free version. That’s all I can and want to afford. Thanks for your great work!

I have, partially based on scientific data like this. It’s okay that you won’t.
