The sleight of the hand is citing a statistic that's made of cases like the one I quoted.
"Children killed" statistic is a manipulation when it includes 17-year olds shooting at soldiers. It debases the tragedy of actual innocent children dying.
You may want to rework the sentence about an Israeli child killed by Hamas, because I don't think you're saying what you'd like to be saying there.
@Sn4330819427336@rich_toronto@grey_gh0st_ The things you quote, whatever they are, describe a citizen going to their country.
Like, e.g., every Arab Israeli citizen can return to Israel after leaving it.
No provision to supply said citizenship to whoever wants it.
And you thought this proves your point?
@unclebobmartin The exponential growth of compute was caused by more than the raw transistors/chip, or clockspeed, increases. There were massive improvements in the arch.
The same is happening with LLMs. Consumer hardware open models are more capable than SOTA of 3 years ago in a datacenter.
Here's the first sample I found of the kids in question. By OCHA. For some weird reason, the boy was capable of "exchange of fire".
Beside such cases, there are surely a lot of innocent bystanders dying in shootouts between WB armed groups and the IDF, tragically, but you seem to approve random people entering shootouts with the military, so it seems that I dislike this more than you do.
And, of course, this wasn't happening in Gaza where the rockets were actually launched from.
Are you justifying launching rockets at civilians randomly?
If you think that's acceptable in principle, what can you even claim is the problem?
Do you think launching a qassam at Sderot and praying it hits at least someone is resistance? Have you tried not doing that? (You didn't try, for decades.)
@gratefulmann@zap_lock@ur_local_goy@rich_toronto@grey_gh0st_ What makes you feel that?
Did the American bomb British cities randomly? Went into England with suicide wests?
Your narrative seems to be: the weaker one is the saint, the stronger one is the devil.
It's easy to see this principle doesn't actually hold.
I have to admit that being the human in the loop is getting tougher over time, because the ratio of my positive contribution vs the bottleneck that I create in the process is getting lower with each new model.
I used to personally validate every task delegated to a subagent before integration in the main thread, but now I just can't keep up without stalling the whole process. I'm switching to looking through batches at a time, except for architecture-heavy tasks (and occasional architecture passes where I stop all other development threads anyway).
@unclebobmartin I think one of the important conclusions is that we need to rerun such evals monthly, to validate the "still" in the "humans still have to be in the loop".
@JoeFallon@unclebobmartin Why use the stupider model for implementation? To have more hard-to-trace bugs?
Just pay more and use the most capable model for everything.

Of course.
Why mention nukes? You can notice Gaza wasn't nuked even once. Gazan rockets rained on Israeli cities nonstop. Makeshift doesn't make them non-deadly.
Gaza has been self-governing since 2005, with free access to Egypt through their shared border.
It had open access with Israel until Gazan terror forced that border to close.
That's a helluva lot of bad *decisions* made by the Gazan government. Even you understand that it's not beneficial to attack the disproportionately stronger neighbors, but Hamas couldn't make that conclusion.
And? Maybe that's why they fail? If that symbolism is more important to Palestinian negotiators than autonomy and end of occupation, then that's the reason the negotiations fail, innit? How about not asking that Israel take in that symbolic number of Palestinians?
The final goal of the whole charade is to destroy Israel and cleanse the Jews, that's why the Palestinian negotiators don't want to take any deal where they get just the West Bank.
@JaquelineL99398@rich_toronto@grey_gh0st_ This is wrong, but more importantly it's not relevant to your previous claim. Try staying on topic. Palestinians want Jews gone from what they consider their land.
@Sn4330819427336@rich_toronto@grey_gh0st_ If that would be true, you'd provide references from the imaginary "international law book" you're quoting.
That's a bit of a high expectation of you, of course, since you can't even manage to not be condescending when you're wrong.
Yes, the stream of rockets from Gaza towards Israeli cities hasn't stopped even for a year, for more than two decades now. It indeed didn't start on Oct 7th.
I hope you're not imagining that only one side is slighted in this conflict?
Those rockets were a *decision* made by the Gazan government, that bought with it all kinds of predictable economic consequences.
@gratefulmann@zap_lock@ur_local_goy@rich_toronto@grey_gh0st_ I don't feel like that answers my question.
Somehow when you're talking about Gazans, it's not "decisions were made", but "things were inevitable".
You're robbing them of their agency.
Was Oct 7th a good *decision* for the investability of Gaza?
@AlanDownunder@rich_toronto@grey_gh0st_ Modern Israel is only twice as young as Canada, and three times as the US.
This excuse could've worked 70 years ago.
Uproar of outrage over "colonisation" doesn't really fly here as there's nowhere near as much uproar about colonisation of countries when Jews aren't involved.
It practically doesn't recognize Israel's right to exist.
The policy of the WB government (which Israel helps stay in power against overwhelming Hamas support, because the alternative is worse) is to take over Israel politically, overwhelming the votes with millions of people claiming "a right of return", and turning Israel into yet another islamic country. Like the other 40+ islamic countries that already exist. And ethnically cleanse the Jews like they already did from those other countries.
It pays money to terrorists families, there were multiple waves of terror, with people from WB stabbing, driving into, bombing and shooting random Israelis in the streets of Tel Aviv.
So speaking about "no clue" and "daily war crimes" is, to put it lightly, hypocritical of you.
