Israel consistently breaks every cease fire. You won't have to wait long.

The Israelis have not initiated hostilities in Lebanon and have stated they have no territorial or other designs on Lebanon. They have only responded to incoming fire from non-state actors (Hezbollah) in the form of rockets and missiles launched from Lebanon. Attacks from Hezbollah were being directly coordinated with the IRGC.

We can also add that in 99% of the cases (including here) calling them "Nazis" is just a rhetorical technique, not an actual analytical comparison.

The Iranian regime is the same technology dressed in different cloths. While underlying details are different the mechanisms and effects are similar. Obviously nobody thinks the regime are literally Nazi's yet the dismissal as rhetorical completely misses the point.

The Nazis and Iranians have in common that they both breath oxygen and drink water, but so do you.

This statement lacks any useful specificity.

Part of it may be a dysfunctional corporate culture, but a lot of it is a consequence of Microsoft's business decision to maintain backwards compatibility at all costs. When you're committed to retaining every design mistake, forever, the complexity of the codebase just keeps rising, which means that less and less of it can fit into anyone's mind at one time, which means more mistakes are made going forward, and the technical debt just keeps compounding.

The whole effort of design of software systems is ultimately the effective management of complexity. Complexity of features that provide real world value is the developers problem to manage. If "technical debt just keeps compounding" it is probably best to find a better developer.

They don't want to kill the Jews, they want to control Israel. There's a huge difference.

Now things are getting stupid. Death to Israel is really just an inside joke. Ditto for asserting Israel should be wiped off the map and calling it a cancerous tumor of a state that should be removed from the region.

There's a fairly strong Jewish community living in Iran.

Well north of 90% fled. There are only a few thousand left. Certainly less than what remained in Nazi Germany during WWII.

In terms of killing power, the IRGC has the guns. But the only reason anyone follows them is because they have a cleric at the top

And to think you've lectured others here about spouting nonsense.

In this way they are similar to Japan in WW2. In fact, Japanese commentators have made the comparison between modern day Iran and Japan during the Pacific War.

The Japs were worse than the Nazis.

Iran is definitely not run by Nazis.

Are you sure?

Kill the Jews...check.
External expansionist aggression... check.
Delusions of world domination... check.
Internal repression... check.

Even if it looks like a Nazi, swims like a Nazi, and quacks like a Nazi... I suppose there is a chance it might not be a Nazi... yet that seems rather unlikely.

It's run by clerics

That mostly went out the window with Khomeini in the 80s. Ali openly admitted he was not qualified and was chosen because the IRGC thought he could be controlled. It is beyond question Mojtaba is comically unqualified (hereditary ascension... Khomeini must be rolling in his grave). He was only selected by the assembly of experts under duress. So no the clerics don't run shit and have very little power.. Iran is now more of a mafia state.

You mean being attacked by Israel, a country which is actually doing a genocide, with our money, from a nation which was founded on genocide? You're only a genocide apologist.

You obviously have not been paying attention to current events. The Lebanese just signed an agreement with the Israelis and the Americans in which Hezbollah who has been lobbing rockets into Israel from Lebanese territory would be disarmed and Israel would leave. The Lebanese people are fed up with Hezbollah's bullshit... from memory opinion polling 80% of Lebanon wants these fuckers disarmed. How can any state tolerate not having a monopoly on the use of violence? This is a basic requirement for any state.

So I'm a little confused here. Are the Lebanese misguided? Do they not understand Hezbollah is the only thing standing between Lebanon and genocide? As soon as Hezbollah is disarmed is that when the country is going to be leveled by the Israelis out of boredom...right? Is this what you honestly believe?

In Iraq Al Zaidi is cleaning house rounding up dozens of corrupt politicians swimming in Iranian money and putting the armed groups on notice. The shit that has been pulled out of backyard gardens and stashed away in homes is literally comic gold.

The genocidal Israelis have also managed to mostly normalize relations with the Arab states and even delivered air defense systems to the UAE. Perhaps the systems are a Trojan horse and when UAE least expects it they will activate and blow up the UAE.

The Iranian people are amongst Israel's biggest fans which I'm sure pisses the living fuck out of you.

Syria has been taken out of play, Hamas is severely degraded and hopefully the situation in Yemen will improve as the Nazi regimes support for Houthis dries up.

Does it make you sad the regimes proxies are being systematically eroded? Do you support aggressive expansionist forever "revolution" that seeks to kill the Jews while oppressing and massacring its own people internally? Does oppression and the largest two day massacre since Babi Yar make you happy?

Naziyahoo says what for decades? Bullshit every time? Get fucked, Zionazi.

A couple months into the war people involved with the Iranian side of the JCPOA came out and stated publicly of course their goal was always nukes and gave an example of restrictions on processing of powders. They described how Iran circumvented it by selecting a similar element the same process would work on.

The JCPOA would have credibly limited enrichment to less than 4% thru 2030 and perhaps another deal could have been reached to extend it. Yet in all dimensions... supporting technologies, delivery vehicles ... funding enabled by lifting of nuclear sanctions ... their intention to become a nuclear weapons state if it wasn't obvious before sure as hell is now.

The Iranian regime is literally a bunch of Nazis with the same sensibilities. If they didn't want to get themselves wrecked they could have stopped the "revolution" four decades ago after they took over Iran... but no their raison d'etre is exporting Nazi revolution to the rest of the world earning themselves the title of leading state sponsor of terrorism and therefore a legitimate target of external intervention.

Look at what is going down in Iraq and Lebanon with both president/PM boldly acting explicitly against the Nazi invasion of their countries by Iranian regime. Iran's terror network is disintegrating before our very eyes. All Trump needs to do is maintain the blockade of Iranian ports and the whole artificial structure of Nazi terror enabled by oil revenues will eventually take care of itself with internal revolution. The Nazi regime would never have been able to persist on its own merits without the rest of the world feeding it.

The time to patch isn't just the time that it takes to write a fix. It also includes testing for regressions or new vulnerabilities, promotion, release, distribution, and installation. Now, taking a published vulnerability and producing a usable exploit however takes only one step: "Hey LLM, how could this commit be exploited?"

And no "they" aren't consistently that good, but consistency doesn't matter for finding vulnerabilities, because it only takes one to cause a headache. But consistency matters at review before adding to a codebase and quality human review is expensive.

I think all of this is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill relying on previous assumptions of software lifecycles.

What people are doing now is going back and retroactively hitting existing codebases with snazzy new LLMs and seeing what falls out. Moving forward these types of checks will be baked into the software lifecycle as was the case for incorporation of preexisting analysis software enabling problems to be detected and resolved prior to release earlier in the lifecycle.

Personally I've been having a field day with GLM-5.2... Vast majority of the shit it spouts is garbage yet still hits enough to be well worth the trouble. Anyone complaining about the cost of fixing and distributing bug fixes rather than being excited to have bugs uncovered and fixed could probably use a few good whacks of the clue stick.

In the real world the only credible solution to AGI concerns is simply not spending trillions of dollars each year funding the knowledge and industrial base that might one day enable a magic AGI genie. Once it gets to the point where it becomes feasible to create AGI genies the only solution to problems uniquely created by an AGI genie is likely to take the form of another AGI genie. If any of the existing AI firms don't like this or are troubled in some way it might be a good time to reexamine career choices and priorities.

Biological threats from advances in technology and massive cost / manpower reductions they enable persist independent of AI.

There is no such thing as a cybersecurity risk that doesn't work both ways. If AI can find vulnerabilities the same AI can be used to catch problems in systems prior to deployment.

AI enabled nuclear risks amount to hallucinatory gibberish.

When it comes to protectionist AI lobbying we haven't seen anything yet. Right now it is driven by AI firms clinging to delusions of ever seeing returns on capital investments. When the very existence of unrelated corporations begin to be threatened by AGI shit is really going to hit the fan.

So my question is how is DeepSeek censored (when you run it locally)? Was data about Tianamen Square ommitted? Was it fine tuned to censor? Did they touch the neurons directly to turn it off? LoRA?

DeepSeek the service / website is very much censored using front end filters. The model itself not so much. You can talk to it about Tianamen until you are blue in the face.

No, it's not. It's akin to having secret numbers (that correlate neither with the spelling or meaning of the word) associated with each word, and the only way you can learn the secret numbers is if e.g. someone says "The secret number for Strawberry is '3'."

There are no other "clues" available to the LLM. It cannot see the property in question (spelling). It is a hidden "magic number" for all effects and purposes.

You are speaking irrelevant nonsense. LLMs are trained in words and they think in words. That the actual representation is different means jack diddly squat.
