Israel is slowly losing the support it needs to get away with this genocide…

Oh to be young.

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs…

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they’re often overlooked (speaking from experience).

It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”

Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.

Yeah, and as someone lse mentioned: they often have a Libby service that gets you tonnes of free audiobooks and other digital materials.

I mean, you’re not wrong - but it’s a technique used every day for super-resolution microscopy.

There’s some surprisingly sci-fi stuff that’s possible with image deconvolution. Not exactly practical, but it is possible to recover some information from a blurry photo.

Source?

I veto you proposal. Moving on. (/s, obviously)

Source?

The article only left me more confused as to why or how that happened…

Ummm. Source?

I seem to be collecting vintage lenses. I stared by getting an adapter for my mirrorless camera and I just fell in love with the lovely character their ‘flaws’ give them.

Literally in the Israeli Times article you linked:

We are both killing the terrorists who participated and killing the terrorists who will want to commit terror in the future,” Halevi told troops and commanders of the 5th Reserve Brigade

This is some Minority Report shit. Israel must have some psychics in their “Precrime” Police devision.

Like, are we all too desensitized to the insane shit being said that this is somehow normal and ok to just be published without comment in a newspaper?

Is the article you linked implying that criticism of Israel is just anti-American propaganda? That the people criticizing Israel just don’t know what they’re talking about?

The article you linked is an article from early November 2023. This article from NPR, published on the same day as the NYT article you linked, talks about Israel invading North Gaza with a force too small to occupy the city. The authors wonder how such a small ground force could be used to hold and control the city.

As it turns out, the IDF had no plans of holding it. They planned to erase it.

Yes, I think if we can get an LLM to work while providing high quality, real world sources it will be a game changing technology across domains. As it stands though, it’s like believing a magician really does magic. The tricks they employ are incredibly useful in a magic show, but if you expect them to really cast a fireball in your defense, you’ll be sorely mistaken.

Did you read mine? If you wanted a depiction of a city, it’s more than good enough. In fact it’s amazing what it can do in that respect. My point is: it gets major details wrong in a way that feels right. That’s where the danger lies.

If your GPS consistently brought you to the wrong place, but you thought it was the right place, do you not think that might be a problem? No matter how many people found it useful, it could be dangerously wrong in some cases.

My worry is precisely because people find it so useful to “look things up”, paired with the fact that it has a tendency to wildly construct ‘information’ that feels true. It’s a real, serious problem that people need to understand when using it like that.

It’s like searching for a picture of Prague, seeing a drawing of Delhi, and then concluding you’ve been there. It’s not about laziness. It’s about accuracy.
