> where latency matters more than raw accuracy – think industrial inspection

Huh? Why would industrial inspection, in particular, benefit from lower latency in exchange for accuracy? Sounds a bit backwards, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.

At a very high level, think fruit sorting[0] where the conveyor belt doesn't stop rolling and you need to rapidly respond, and all the way through to monitoring for things like defects in silicon wafers and root causing it. Some of these issues aren't problematic on their own, but you can aggregate data over time to see if a particular machine, material or process within a factory is degrading over time. This might not be throughout the entire factory but isolated to a particular batch of material or a particular subsection within it. This is not a hypothetical example: this is an active use case.

It would be really interesting if this pushes infrastructure further into countries which are less developed but also less war-torn. I'm not really familiar with the region, but I imagine parts of West Africa might be good candidates.
someotherperson · 13 days ago
It won't. This article misses the almost certain reality that the support of the Gulf states for this conflict (and the others that passed, and those that will follow) came from incentives like having infra investments on their soil.

Divesting away from the Gulf after something as trivial as this would be a complete rug-pull. And it would end the Abraham Accords.

Don't get me wrong: it will happen at some point. But not now. Not until the Abraham Accords have served their purpose.

Libya is not a real country in a historical sense. It’s a bunch of tribes, Kadaffi was from one of the tribes that subjugated others. In Iraq it was a Sunni minority that rules over Shiite majority, and other minorities like the Kurds. In Syria one minority (alawiites) rules over others by force.

Also, these countries were not formed by themselves, but rather through deals with France and/or Britain.

Iran, while also diverse, has a thousands of years long history. Persians still see themselves as continuation of Persian peoples from the empire times, etc.

So, it is not very correct to compare it one to one.

someotherperson · 14 days ago
Iraqis also see themselves as a continuation of Mesopotamian people, that was quite literally what Iraqi Baathist thought was centered around and used as the successful unification strategy. That's quite literally the justification the Baathists used to try 'reclaim' both Khuzestan and Kuwait. You quite literally couldn't be more wrong in how you categorize Baathist Iraq.

Iran has a much worse relationship with its minorities, where if you are of the wrong faith then you literally face state-sanctioned laws preventing you studying or working. In fact, things in Iraq became much worse for minorities after the overthrowal due to the adoption of Iranian cultural practices like Abrahamic elitism.

The cherry on top of all of this is that you probably don't realize that Persians in Iran only make up 60% of the country. You have Iranians who wholly reject Persian ancestry (Azeris, Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds...) but you don't even account for them, despite Iran having, what, three? entirely separate ethnic-based separatist insurgencies active across the country LOL

Iran effectively controlled Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq through its proxies and puppet regimes. Right, it didn't annex territory, but it complete subjugated these countries and their population to their goals.
someotherperson · 14 days ago
Except none of that ever happened. That's an exaggerated, racist attempt to hand-wave away the realities behind several distinct countries.

Thanks for pointing this out. I hear people say this over and over, if Iran only had nukes it would be safe to continue propagating terrorism as it has been doing. It’s obviously wrong, as you point out. Russia has nukes. India has nukes. Having nuclear weapons doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, if anything it brings a higher level of scrutiny. A nuclear Iran would be a serious problem for many and that’s why it’s so critical to make sure that doesn’t happen, not just for Israel but the entire planet.

There's only one country that has repeatedly attacked its neighbors and has decided to occupy and seize land from two of them while actively calling for and carrying out strikes in many others all in the last two years.

It ain't Iran.

This is part of why we help defend Israel, to constrain wars to conventional means.

In the first Gulf War, we placed the Patriot batteries around Israel, as they said that if an Iraqi biological or chemical SCUD attack hit Tel Aviv, they would vitrify Baghdad.

Having nukes doesn't prevent _anyone_ from attacking you, but it does constrain those attacks to conventional means. And what if you pulled off a decapitation attack against Tel Aviv? Well their fleet of nuclear capable subs would make you pay.

So should the US defend North Korea in case of a conflict with South Korea?

This passes your checks, but a human moderator would flag it:

Seems to catch various other cases though. Cool tool.

I created a Facebook account a few years ago to get in on the local marketplace deals. After opening the website a few times and seeing very suggestive content, I had the idea of tailoring my feed to the most racy things I could find. Eventually, my feed was filled images of children wearing bathing suits and in suggestive positions, censored images of sexual acts, and AI generated images of elderly women with large breasts and little clothing. I was taking screenshots for a while but one time I opened my photo gallery while on the train and realized how embarrassing it looked to have a phone filled with this crap. Edit: Used more respectful language
someotherperson · 22 days ago
Yeah you should probably delete those photos. Nobody is going to believe your story (myself included).

Maybe it’s just a prank played on white expats here in UAE, but don’t all Arabic speakers say inshallah all the time?
someotherperson · 24 days ago
English speakers frequently say “Jesus!” or “thank God” - it would be weird for an LLM.
