I skimmed through the article. I didn’t understand what role AI supposedly plays in this case for tracking aid deliveries. For tracking you need sensors and connectivity from the mode of delivery, location information, some analytics and databases. What does this AI do for tracking? I can understand a sales pitch that says AI decides where to provide aid, how much, when, etc. But tracking deliveries? It’s a head scra…

So edgy; is being an apologist really the noble calling you think it is? Both are just words, mappings to concepts in our minds; "genocide" is an invented term, but it has a widely shared definition that the UN helped formalize, and in the minds of many, many people all over the world, the term applies here. "War" could one day be waged against whatever group you belong to, as well. You may wish for the country wagin…
Doesn't the Geneva Convention state that if militants build an underground base beneath a civilian building, that civilian building becomes a military target? Gaza is Swiss-cheesed with hundreds of miles of military tunnels. If any attack on a tunnel is disallowed because of civilian buildings above it, I predict many countries will start adopting the Hamas strategy of putting military bases under civilian buildings.…
I am not sure it truly even matters, practically speaking. Laws that cannot be enforced are merely suggestions.

If we can establish, through published doctrine, what we will do in certain situations, then other nations can reason about our decisionmaking process. They can compare our actions to our policy, and make judgements about our trustworthiness as national actors. If we choose to act irrationally, or against our own doctrine, we become untrustworthy and other players have to adjust their game accordingly. That's the "enforcement" - and you can see this in action, e.g. with Mark Carney's recent speech.

> Tells us quite a lot who’s the “genocidal” here. I'll just quote Wikipedia for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Gaza_war > As of 21 February 2026, at least 75,226 people (73,188+ Palestinians[4] and 2,039+ Israelis)[7][8][9][10] have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including 248 journalists and media worker…
> I'll just quote Wikipedia for you: And? What do these figures tell you? You are accepting a very lazy explanation for the disparity in the number of casualties and calling a day. I will give you an example where with the same logic you will arrive to an unconventional conclusion. There was order of magnitudes more German civilians killed by the US forces during WW2 than the other way around. Does it mean that Nazi…
It told me to avoid public places for a few days until you move on to pestering some other commentator with your pro-genocide views.

Israel is still bombing people in tents and withholding aid.
Israel is doing to the Palestinians exactly what the US did to the Native Americans. I sadly expect Palestinians will end up on reservations and once their numbers and little remaining power are reduced enough they’ll finally be given some form of second class citizenship.
But tell me where I’m wrong.

Sorry, but if honest coverage of Israel is considered bashing it, then it deserves to be “bashed“ Israel is still bombing people in tents and withholding aid.

From the Temporary Constitution of the State of Palestine (2026)[1]: Article 4 – Islam, Sharia and Christianity 1. Islam is the official religion in the State of Palestine. 2. The principles of Islamic Sharia are a primary source for legislation. Not sure how anyone can possibly defend a literal religious autocracy, e…
Palestine doesn't have a government, anyway. Israel destroyed it. Its former temporary constitution is completely irrelevant.

Depends on specific cases, I have on good authority of how in few "bleeding edge" ones they essentially repacked/wrapped YOLOv3. Purpose was specifically tracking in adversarial conditions (smoke, including smokescreen, obstacles, etc)
For realtime on the edge the YOLO series is pretty good, I don't think anyone would disagree. Most of the really advanced stuff like Vision Language models all require a lot more compute and power budget.

From there I'm guessing the "AI" part is an LLM interface is offered to ask questions about the deliveries?
This wouldn't be the first product where it just provides what a database already does just fine / more efficiently...
