Pure distraction from the current administration's other gigantic ongoing failures in both national and foreign policies.

I am confused how chaining two 32-layer models is comparable to a 64 layer model in terms of "difficulty in chain of thought". The reasoning appears to rely on the fact that each processing of a token has fixed number of steps while my understanding is that can very greatly based on the type of data being reasoned whether it is originally text or something else. My mind falls back to graph theory in this case and pictures a much higher potential branching in a 64 layer model and all the tradeoffs that come with that.

I must not have the right idea of what is happening here.

From the post: "Doing a thing for the love of the thing is no different than it ever was. The problem is, there aren’t many people for whom this applies." I think this is an interesting point but I am not sure it matters when deciding whether someone should be paid for the work they have done. It is fine to have your opinion on what you think deserves your money. However it doesn't change that they have done work that has value regardless of their motivations.

"can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer" sounds strangely like what was reported to be happening to Palestinians in Gaza. Penlink is in Israel. I think there is a good chance this tech was developed and used in the ongoing genocide against Palestinians and is now being resold to law enforcement here.

Last I checked WoW is only available from Blizzard directly.

Unfortunately this is extremely dangerous as this opens the door to mis-labeling attacks by politicians pushing agendas and looking to censor talk against them.

The world has already learned from doing this mistake. Despotism is bad and listening to the above is how you get there.

Thank you for your effort in keeping the discussion healthy.

However my impression is that this thread is lower in the HN rankings compared to what I usually see for something this new and with this score and discussion.

Am I wrong in perceiving this? Can you please help me understand?

This is extremely concerning if true.

Terrifying. Thank you for sharing your story.

This is extremely concerning and hints at a potential intentional organized suppression of information that is calling out the horrors that are being committed in Gaza.

I would argue free speech is much more preferred as a citizen of one of these countries as too many are walking around convinced their understanding of facts is truth when it is in truth not.

Free speech is a necessity learned from the past horrors of fascism.

If this "Iron Truth" is a smoke screen to remove any information that is true and sympathetic to Palestinians through mis-categorizing and mis-labeling and that is not hateful then it is a system of oppression and must be stopped.

Is it possible Starlink satellites are providing non-publicly known functionality at those (and other) frequencies to military and/or government agencies?
