The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words — and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity.

Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The idea that someone would “pose” as a journalist by doing live reporting all day, every day, for two straight years — but is actually secretly a terrorist (when??) — is so stupid it demonstrates how much power Israel believes it has. Their excuse for assassinating a world renowned journalist — and his entire crew! — doesn’t even have to make any sense for them to put it forward. It doesn’t matter what they say, they can kill with impunity and they know it.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Human rights group B'Tselem releases shocking video of Palestinian journalist Awdah Hathaleen filming his own murder at the hands of Israeli settler Yinon Levi.

As is usual in Israel, a judge quickly released Levi, even though the footage shows he shot Hathaleen in cold blood.

“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”

I thought portuguese DNA was a mixture of codfish, wine and pastéis de nata. It seems that I was wrong: https://t.co/AGnWy7y1Ca

X feels impossible to enjoy lately. Scrolling just makes me stressed or down. Instead of leaving for good, let���s try to make it fun and instructive again! I love solving problems in my spare time, so here’s one for you - can you guess the answer? #ChallengeAccepted

WOW. @Microsoft just open-sourced the code for one of "THE MOST" influential Paper of 2024 🔥

1-bit LLMs (e.g., BitNet b1.58).

Now you can run a 100B param models on local devices quantized with BitNet b1.58 on single CPU at 5-7 tokens/sec 🤯

The dream we have all been waiting for.

📊 Performance Improvements:

- Achieves speedups of 1.37x to 5.07x on ARM CPUs

- Larger models see greater performance gains

- Reduces energy consumption by 55.4% to 70.0% on ARM

- On x86 CPUs, speedups range from 2.37x to 6.17x
