You don't need to generate fake videos for that example. State of Isreal have been killing Palestinians en masse for a long time and intensified the effort for the last 4 months. The death toll is 29,000+ and counting. Two thirds are children and women.
Isreal media machinery parading photographs of damaged houses that could only be done by heavy artillery or tank shells blaming on rebels carrying infantry rifles.
But I agree, as if the current tools were not enough to sway people they will have more means to sway public opinion.
This is a similar problem manuscript duplicating workers in the Ottoman realm. The printing machines would take their job, but they resisted and lobbied against it in the courts of the sultan. They succeeded in delaying the adoption of printing for some time for the detriment of the people. Unfortunately, this has been the history of man and technology destroying something for the better or worse.
Some twisted the story as if the underlying issue was the religion but economic concerns were the real reason.
All companies strive/want/expect/hope/conspire for one thing for cost: When purchasing for the input it would like to operate with terms of a market economy but when selling their goods/services they would like to be monopolistic. It's very a fundamental and natural desire. Desire to kill competition is just a manifestation of this fundamental rule.
If a well position and well oiled company is in fear of losing business and firing people how come you expect to find jobs let alone stable jobs.
You give your 4-5 years to a company and the company dumps you at the first sight of hardship.
I think Stripe made a bad choice when firing people. They should have decreased salaries, percentage wise more at the management level and try to keep their workers. I wouldn't want to work such company ever.
Speak volumes for the character of the people who are managing the company. Lay off people who helped you get where you are the moment you feel you won't need them in the future.
What avenues have they exhausted before laying off workers?
For example my company during COVID chose to make a temporary 3% reduction to salaries rather than laying off the people. That was that year's minimum salary increase. Basically they took what they gave that year.
Many companies are very disloyal to their workers, vice versa.

Thanks for the reply. Also, I have the tendency to become very conscious when I use a paid service and kind of messes my mind. I think in the long run it will be cheaper to own a machine.
Actually I am more into RL than DL. But DRL use DL.
I don't need a machine at the moment, I am in the learning state at the moment. But eventually I will need something and passively want to learn on building my own machine. So trying to avoid costly mistakes.
It will be NVIDIA cards for sure. It does not have to be the latest, but I would like to be able to upgrade the cards without need to change the rest of the machine, at least not more than 10% of initial cost. I am very ignorant on this that's why asked how to build a machine starting with cheaper graphics cards but then be able to upgrade to latest and the best if I need to. I guess motherboard is the most important component but which one? Also, size of the box. Any article that discuss these in depth? Not videos, I prefer reading.
Money is not an issue unless I don't make the mistake of buying wrong components that does not fit both physically and compatibility.
I would like to build a compact machine yet able to upgrade, for example 2 graphics card eventually.
I wonder what would be your suggestion for someone who wants to build his own first ML machine (and actually first computer as well). I would like to start small and add (graphics) cards and then maybe upgrade them later one by one. Should I go with high-end cards? latest? Thanks for any good pointers as well.
Excuse my ignorance but this is something I have been longing to ask for. Do these services compromise security? Wouldn't you put too much trust on these services, like 1Password. If that service is compromised in someway aren't you exposed? Is these a good article debate on this topic. Thanks.
1988 was the year I started using Pascal while still in college. I developed and released a general ledger software for small accounting firms in 1989 using it. Sold 20 copies, bought myself a printer. It was a great experience that I could never duplicate to this day. It became better with Delphi release, so easy to develop UI using those drag and drop widgets.
Good riddance, if they don't respect your time probably it is not a company to sink some portion of your life into it.
Unfortunately people on the other side of hiring process have less respect for the candidates. Somehow they feel more powerful than the interviewee and forgetting that they were and will be on the other side one day.
Libya has an elected government that is recognized by UN. The coup attempt by Hafter is supported by France, Russia, UAE, and Egypt. Rule of (international) law is broken by these countries blatantly.
Not really, The Selimiye Mosque [2] surpassed Hagia Sofia, not only the diameter of the dome also its robustness of its structure. Taj Mahal is a product of inspiration taken from Mimar Sinan and they studied Sinan's work.
"Mimar Sinan's architectural concepts were incorporated into the design of the famous Taj Mahal" [1]
There are 5 prayers, before dawn, just after noon, couple of hours after noon, just after sun sets, and couple of hours after sunset. These varies by time of year and times get closer during winter times and far apart during summer time. Each prayer takes about 20-40 minutes most, except the Friday prayer which is probably the most crowded time and is about one and half hours. It replaces noon prayer on Fridays.
The Blue Mosque just across Hagia Sofia Mosque also allow visitors even during the prayers, except probably during the Friday prayer since it is really crowded. I never had the change to attend Friday prayer there so I am not sure, but I did at other times. Tourist are allowed to visit during prayers and even has the opportunity watching the prayer.
I think it will be very similar if not exactly the same manner. No worries about the visitors of any religion or of no religion. You can experience these majestic structures. I recommend Suleymaniye Mosque, which is much larger than then Blue Mosque but not as big as Hagia Sofia. The mosque at Edirne is from the same architect (Sinan [1]) and bigger than Hagia Sofia.
Current Hagia Sofia is actually the 2rd rebuilt of the original structure. Original was like the churches in Europe and more rectangular than this one, and did not have a dome. The last structure had dome initially but collapse couple of times and was rebuilt. The reason that it collapsed each time is due to the rectangular shape of the base and did not have enough support of half and quarter domes around it. Sinan the architect is actually the one succeeded to keep the dome from collapsing.
I am deliberately avoiding the Armenian issue not to overlook it but not to lose focus. I wanted to reply to your "mainly a Western thing" argument. All my examples were only to enforce the argument and not to divert the attention. That is why I am not dignifying other threads by replying since they are doing exactly what they accuse me of.
It was probably my mistake not to make my point clear enough. I would like to restate my argument is that we only hear German war crimes at this high amplitude and frequency but almost never about the crimes committed by French or Belgian or any other Western nation. Not on the front page of HN nor on NYTimes. French and Belgian atrocities were also a nation-state crime including the one committed in the Americas.
I am not sure if this question directed to my comment above since you did not ask it under that thread. But if it were a mistake I am happy to answer and it is a big NO. Please read my comment again.
