Israel has never confirmed or acknowledged it officially. But there are people who have come out who plausibly could know who have claimed it to exist. I think the earliest example was in the early 80s, but I cannot remember that person’s name atm.

Seems like every time a business leader says, “ai is meant to augment, not replace, human decision-making” they lied. Who could have guessed!?

Many such cases these days

looking forward to jonathan greenfatt of the adl trying to find the nuance in this one!

On the contrary. I want my device to be as out of the way and unobtrusive as is possible.

He just means climate change will make nyc unbearably hot to live in, and he’s doing his best to make that ecological disaster happen

Why is this the scandal and not the ongoing genocide being perpetrated by the IDF?

it’s well-meaning but so misinformed.

I use iOS and a couple of years ago I thought, “My next phone, whenever that is, will once again be Android.” But the Android shit seems so complicated. The situation seems to be: Do you want outright Google spyware, or partial Google spyware that partially works?

I hate Persian monarchist diaspora. Incredibly annoying people.

When a non-shrek-based video plays between the movies:

“get off mah blorp!”

That gringo who is like “Are you telling me Iran has never supported ISIS and AlQaeda?”

Dude what are you talking about? ISIS is the enemy of Iran. Soleimani was the scourge of ISIS.

When I told r/steamdeck years ago that the deck is too big and heavy I got mocked relentlessly for being puny. Dare not offer critique in the face of gamer nerds. Also, not that this matters, but I was much fresher off weightlifting at the time (canceled my membership when covid happened).

Compare the “handheld” steam deck to the PS Vita and it’s not even a contest.

never even heard of this person before today, so i guess her marketing team figured out how to get people talking.

thanks for the thumbnail to remind me how much i hate his stupid face

This doesn’t account for my many peers who studied compsci with access to computers all their lives and suck at it, or some people who I met who never programmed until compsci and were great at it.

I think comp sci’s difficulty parallels math. Lots of people say math is too hard but IMO it’s really a matter of effort, or lack of it. Or people lack confidence that they can actually do it and then internalize the belief that they’re no good at it. Also, US education sucks. But the key diff between studying math and comp sci is that for many years (and still to this day, really) programming paid extremely well and therefore attracts the gamut of people with genuine interest or talent for it to people who are only in it for the money and couldn’t program a fizzbuzz without AI assistance, and everyone between.

Maybe their parliament will stand and applaud for the settlements, actually

You’d think a prominent politician’s role is to improve the lives of her constituents. Hopefully her voters will get a clue that she doesn’t work for them, but against (doubtful).
