Jobs: "You're holding it wrong, idiot."

Also Jobs: fires the antenna designer


Multiple things can be true:

We could be holding it wrong, and Jobs be correct to point out that many rival phones at the time literally had manuals dictating how to hold their phones to avoid reception issues.

The antenna designer could have done a better job, preventing the situation, thereby not dragging Jobs into a PR storm.

Jobs could have handled the situation and communication _significantly_ better.


The staunchest antizionists tend to be Jews. Pretty sure there are more self-professed Christian zionists living in America than Jewish zionists too.

It behooves everyone to stop equating antizionism with antisemitism, because doing that actually breeds the latter.


> Pretty sure there are more self-professed Christian zionists living in America than Jewish zionists too.

All you're saying is that there are more Christians than Jews.

In the context of "you're conflating Jews with Israel" what actually matters if you want to compare with Christians is P(support Israel|Jew) Vs P(support Israel|Christian). Stop being disengenuous.


Your original statement was “there is a grain of truth that jews control the media/country because of the influence of the israel lobby.” (actually, your statement was even worse than that - that you believe that “many” stereotypes about jews in particular are true, unlike other groups).

The response is “the israel lobby is supported by christian evangelicals, a more numerous group than jews.” This is a clear refutation.

Im not sure what point youre trying to make other than that. Seems like you really want to blame the jews


Again, you're confused.

I'm saying that P(supports Israel | is Jewish) is large, and you're saying no, because P(is Christian evangelical | supports israel) is large (because there's so many more). In fact both might be true and are true, but your statement has no connection to the stereotype.


Im not confused at all. Youre saying that most jews support israel, therefore if the israel lobby has power, its proof that the stereotype that jews control the world has a grain of truth.

This is fallacious reasoning on a number of levels, not least because all evangelical christians, as a rule, also support israel due to their religious beliefs, and in fact hold increasing power in the US, yet you blame jews for this and not christian evangelicals.

Further, as I said earlier, christians by far outnumber jews in power positions in the US and worldwide.

You dont seem to care about the facts. You have an idea you want to push, which is that jewish stereotypes, which basically consist of them being evil and controlling the world, have a “grain of truth”. You think that throwing around probability symbols makes you smart. Youre not the smartest person in the room; youre just a lowly bigot. I can only hope that youre still young enough to break out of this path.


We agree on the facts. Christians outnumber etcetc. But the stereotype is that Jews control the media, not that Christians evangelicals do.

It's very simple: The fact most Jews support the Israeli lobby matches the stereotype. That fact that many (but many Christian evangelicals also support the Israeli lobby) is orthogonal to the stereotype. They might or might not, the stereotype doesn't say anything about it.


You probably imagine people will think you are very smart because you can put your racism into formulae.

You actually just come across as a shitty person.


> there are more self-professed Christian zionists living in America than Jewish zionists

this is a very important point I will remember as well. there are 10x as many evangelical christians as jews in the US, and they are often zionists. zionism is emphatically not just a jewish movement


There's a causation that you're missing. Zionism was originally an exclusively Jewish movement. Christian evangelicals were pulled in latter on as useful idiots. So yes, Zionism is not exclusively a Jewish movement nowadays, because the Jewish element is doing a good job with their plan of finding and creating allies.

Yes you have gone fully mask off here. The jewish element? Youre nothing but a nazi, if you arent one yet you will be one soon.

That's another aspect of Zionism, which is that it's really not about defending Jews, it's about defending Israel. Even Jews like myself, when they criticize Israel they're immediately labeled Nazis. Really crazy stuff.

you must be trolling, so Im going to stop now. you are not criticizing israel by claiming that jewish stereotypes are true

I didn't start by criticizing Israel, but my previous comment was criticism of Israel, when I said that yes, many Christian evangelicals are Zionists and there are more of them, as you like to say in order to muddle the water, but but I was saying that they weren't the originators of Zionism, Jews were. You were claiming that because there's more Christian evangelicals somehow that means something about Jews not being at fault? Complete nonsense.

> Lots of people think we would have been better of in an alternate universe where we never discovered oil & gas.

Who? Other than strawmen, I mean.


Man, come on.. There are even at least two comments from people in this thread arguing this exact point. Ill promise you its frequency is even higher in the real world than on HN.

You must not be very much exposed to the environmental movement, or be much online, if you havent seen this.


Yeah maybe I'm out of touch.

Maybe. I am not convinced I type fewer keystrokes being a Markdown Monkey compared to writing code largely via autocomplete. Fewer Tab keystrokes, for sure.


I was mostly making a joke.


So Anthropic and Google? I only hear "ChatGPT" used as an invective these days.


Maybe that will allow them to package Claude Code for Linux.


I'm not sure what you're saying here. You can use Claude Code on Linux.


He's probably talking about the desktop version, which afaik doesn't officially exist on Linux. There are Debian packages that repackage the electron code though: https://github.com/aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian


And how many of them were diverted from Tesla?


Pretty sure that Tesla didn't use Colossus. Tesla used Cortex 1 and Cortex 2 which are at the Gigafactory in Austin.



The article says: In December, an internal Nvidia memo seen by CNBC said, “Elon prioritizing X H100 GPU cluster deployment at X versus Tesla by redirecting 12k of shipped H100 GPUs originally slated for Tesla to X instead. In exchange, original X orders of 12k H100 slated for Jan and June to be redirected to Tesla.”


Sounds like they have an oversupply of these tokens.


It's only a token offer... I'll see myself out.


> And I haven't written a single line of code myself since what - February maybe?

And how many lines of Markdown have you written? Pointless metric. I think I type more now because I don't get any helpful autocomplete for... English.


If this is your best argument for your ethnosupremacist apartheid state, you're in trouble.
