it’s fascinating that from the headline it’s absolutely unclear whether the protests are even related to the 16 kills. if i were glancing (and wasn’t aware of the situation), i would’ve thought that 16 were killed as Israeli finally listened to the protesters or something.

“protesters in Israel” (must be some foreigners) vs “Israeli strike”.

while they actually demand a ceasefire that will allow for release of hostages, and their government does everything to avoid that ceasefire. oh, and then there’s “strike kills 16” leaving it ambiguous whether military or war crimes.

also ceasefire implies both sides are fighting. from what i can tell Hamas pretty much stopped fighting almost two years ago.

“Israeli protesters demand their military to stop attacking Gaza, as Israeli army kills 16 civilians and journalists in an attack on a hospital in Gaza in another apparent war crime”.

how about now?

What a great way to show the inefficiency of sanctions! /s

He’s too busy begging these three for help.

I would say that we’ve just discovered that our approach to test knowledge and critical thinking was secondary to the means we used.

Apparently, essay writing doesn’t require either of those.

Which means we have to think how we teach kids. They will and should use helper tools, but just like we teach multiplication table before allowing calculators, well have to establish what students have to learn before they can use the LLMs in their studying.

But he does, he just discovered a new supply for the meat grinder.

So it’s just one step before the Ankh-Morpork mode with legalized crime guilds?

Looks like it’s still android, which is still Linux.

Well, windows UI is historically terrible, while apple at least used to pay attention to the UI/UX. I wouldn’t blame people preferring a window manager which doesn’t randomly steal focus.

Ah yes, two nations famous for their appreciation of individual human life /s

Civilian disobedience can take many forms, not all of them involve an active confrontation with the government or police.

Unfortunately, from what it looks like, all everyday russians are living their normal everyday lives.

Unfortunately this means that the majority of the population either supports the war (especially as long as they’re winning) or are zombified enough not to care.

In either case, those are people that will be fine with being conscripted and sent to the front. As long as they’re not getting hurt, themselves, of course.

By all means, I’m not advocating russian style of bombing obviously civilian targets, but those russians are far from poor and powerless.

They do nothing because it’s uncomfortable.

How do you know a ruzzian is lying? Sound is coming out if their mouth.

Poor, poor ruzzian general. Let’s send him out oh-no’s and anyways.

This difficulty to believe it’s actually quite fundamental to what’s happening.

If you like, I invite you to imagine what would be the explanation if these numbers were true. (Even adjusted for being dead and wounded)

If only there were a European country that is investing in the drone technology like their existence depended on it…

I’m not the OG commenter, but for me this is important because I see how gpt is replacing search, I can imagine they will play an increasing role in news. Which has two sides. One is the fact that people will read news summaries dinner by a system with a bias. Second is writing of the news with the same bias.

We’ve seen this before. Machine learning systems that were trained on past human decisions also learned biases from those decisions. Court ruling suggestions stronger for black than white. Job applicant analysis favouring men over women. Etc.

There’s a good book about that, if you’re interested: “Weapons of Math Destruction” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction

We’re all sick of the dozens of apps on our phones

That day when I realised I’m not part of “we all”.

Do I really need my calculator to have maps function?

If they’re looking for a good location, Hague is just perfect.

And do it begins. Musk wants to become the new Hitler.

How soon till we start making time travel films about going back to stop him?

So now they’re going to conscript him?

Fun fact. An average tenure for a CEO is 4 years. I will not be taking further questions.
