Where's the Hamas supporter?
You sound like one.
Based on what?

Are Nazis pigs?
So all Zionists are Nazis?
Zionism and Nazism are very similar.
It's true that Nazism lacks the religious aspect, and Zionism lacks the pagan aspect.
I hope you can agree that these are aesthetic differences.
Both movements advocate for one ethnicity having the right to live on a particular part of the land, ime. ethonationalism (Nazis: "Blood and soil" vs. Zios: "The chosen people who god promised the land to"), both movements are expansionist (N: "Lebensraum" vs. Z: "Buffer zones" and "Greater Israel"), both movements subjugate another ethnicity that they deem lesser and evil (N: Jews, Black people, Roma, vs. Z: Palestinians, Arabs).
Both movements have commited genocide against the other ethnicities.
So, are Nazis pigs? If they are, then the label fits Zionists as well.

The Palestinians did not start the war. Israel has started every war against the Palestinians, including the 1948 one. Israelis are not indigenous (there are rare exceptions of Mizrahis or Jerusalem Palestinians with some form of citizenship), they are colonists.
Arabs stared the war when they rejected the UN offer of a sovereign internationally recognized Palastinian state and tried to destroy Israel instead. They lost. In retrospect this was very stupid. It doesn't matter if Israelis are indigenous or not because 7 million people are not going to leave.
What is plan Dalet? Rejecting the establishment on your land is also not a declaration of war. Israel was the one who started the hostilities

I feel like the models have no moat paradigm died when a single model expanded past the memory of single GPU slices. The moat is hosting the model. Even paying a server host to run a rack of GPUs has immense upstart cost, and then you're still struggling to compete on the add-ons of the things on top of the model (prompts, validation loops, etc). You can only throw so much money at a problem.
Many different companies host the open source models. Where's the moat there?
I mean you got me there. There will be places who do have the means to build up massive GPU servers. There's just a lot more to it and I don't know if we're going to pinpoint an exact catch-all moat.

> rare exceptions of Mizrahis It's not rare at all, the majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi.
That's not true, it's not a majority. It is true that Mizrahi are ~40-45% of Jews in the country, but all Mizrahim are not all indigenous to Palestine. I was referring to the subset of Mizrahi who are Palestinian.
What do you mean by “Palestinian”? They’re Palestinian by the classic definition of “those who live in the region of Palestine”.
If you mean citizens of the State of Palestine, that’s a political matter, and zero Jews have that citizenship.
If you mean something along the lines of “unbroken lineage of ancestors who never left Palestine", that would also exclude many people who we all consider Palestinian, such as Arafat himself who was born in Cairo.

Having the whole world connected to top sports players also costs a lot of money, it doesn’t happen naturally To become a good scientist you don’t need much classic capital, you need a good environment. And for ML you only need one computer for yourself or you can rent online There are still big inefficiencies for those who have capital to discover good scientists / engineers. Lots of them are unknown. But if there a…

No, the way it worked in the past for pro sports wasn’t enough to have those players worldwide famous and gossiped all the time
We need to make science more popular
We disagree on learning science and engineers, this doesn’t require physical capital, it only requires human capital

You are working around the reality : Noam’s name is good on paper, just like a pro footballer player. His name re assures investors, reduces risks.
This is good.
I don’t care that some are jealous of him because they think they are as good as him in linear algebra.

So? The point is football doesn't require this. It's not necessary for football to happen. The first Fifa world cup was in 1930.

Try building a bridge without any money. Try detecting the Higgs Boson without CERN. Sure Peter Higgs can come up with the idea of the Higgs Boson with little capital ( though somebody still paid for his living expenses - he wasn't a self funded gentlemen scientist ) - but that's the exception - most of the work is like CERN - and requires significant equipment and capital.

Jews legally migrated to the area and bought land starting 1882 driven by the rise of the Zionist movement and pogroms in Eastern Europe. If the Arabs had won the war they would have forced every last Jew out of the area and Israel would never have existed. When the Jordanian Arab Legion took control of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, the ancient synagogues were destroyed, and the entire Jewish population was expelled or taken prisoner. The same happened in the Gush Etzion bloc. If the combined Arab armies had won the war, the Jewish state would have been dismantled, and the Jewish population would have been expelled or killed.They lost but have rather pathetically refused to accept this for 78 years now.

Reality is that irrational hatred of Jews has become normalized among the far left.
The left? The left is against Israeli violence. The far right hates Jews. Let's compare figures like, say Nick Fuentes and Hasan Piker. Fuentes regularly spouts vile anti-semitic rhetoric, painting up a picture of Jews as greedy schemers. Piker always makes it clear he is talking about Israel, not Jews. Painfully so. I have not seen a single self-odentified leftist say anything anti-semitic IRL. But I have seen right…
Hasan Piker is a very bad example because he supports the Houthi, and the Houthi are VERY anti-semitc, their flag literally curses ALL jews
"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse be upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"
