@RAEinforma #RAEconsultas ¿Por qué dice el DPD que “instar” (pedir con apremio [a alguien] que haga algo) se construye con complemento directo (=transitivo), pero para ese sentido (apretar o urgir la pronta ejecución de algo) el DLE dice que es intransitivo?

Israeli intelligence secretly surveilled officials in Gaza’s Health Ministry to check if their data on the number of civilians killed in Gaza is 'reliable', Israeli intelligence sources told us.

The army found the numbers are reliable and now regularly uses them internally in intelligence briefings.

According to two sources, Israeli intelligence has no good independent measure of the total number of civilians the army killed in Gaza, making the Health Ministry's data their main source of information.

One reason for this is that officers conducted hundreds of AI-directed assassination strikes against suspected low-level Hamas operatives, usually by destroying entire homes and killing entire families – a practice we previously termed a 'mass assassination factory’. There was often no bomb damage assessment (BDA) for these strikes, meaning there was no check on who and how many civilians were killed. This routine post-strike check was skipped to 'save time'.

'I don’t know how many people I killed as collateral damage. We only check that information for senior Hamas targets,' one source said. 'In other cases I didn’t care. I immediately moved on to the next target. The focus was on creating as many targets as quickly as possible. That’s why I trust the Health Ministry in Gaza more than the IDF for these statistics. The army just doesn’t have the information.'

@ImShahinyan @chess_feed Chess as you know it. You're welcome.

@ImShahinyan Especially that board at the start with the black King and Queen on the wrong squares. Ouch!

@FIDE_chess If memory serves, around that time, GM @gmnigeldavies was actually Wales' top rated player (I think from 2015 to 2022), but FIDE's website has him as still in England. Can you fix this?

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@FIDE_chess Hi @FIDE_chess Has anyone else told you that your website is displaying innacurate historical Elo rankings? I have noticed that it's ignoring what a player's national federation actually was at different points in time.

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@FIDE_chess For example, IM @CamachoCollados was South Korea's highest rated player for many years. If you look up Korea's ranking for September 2017, he's nowhere to be seen. He appears instead... as playing in Wales, way before he transferred there.

@dgimirizaldu Es que parecen hechos por alguien que no ha visto un semáforo en su vida. Me recuerda un poco a los leones del románico.

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@dgimirizaldu Completamente de acuerdo. Yo además llevo un rato pensando en el detalle de los semáforos... y sospecho que los han hecho con IA.

@stats_feed Since when is Lee Chang-ho a South Korean chess player?

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@AjedrezGuy @narancoajedrez @telediario_tve Y si, además de dar cobertura, informaran con rigor, ya sería la caña.

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@narancoajedrez @telediario_tve Noticia de ajedrez, pero con información incorrecta. Qué falta de rigor. Las partidas rápidas y blitz no cuentan para el título de gran maestro.

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@teledeporte Lo que haga en este campeonato es irrelevante para convertirse en gran maestro: solo las partidas disputadas a ritmo clásico cuentan para obtener las normas.

[David Fuertes @DaveFuertes]

@CharterXTrader @el_pais Tampoco es la primera vez.

@NealBruceBC Nice double attack! And good thing that your Knight was well placed to stop the skewer which would have been the only defense otherwise.
