Deestan,

As a software dev, any code library named SimpleWhatever or whose documentation contains the word “simply” anywhere makes me afraid.

Because they never are. They are a sign that whoever makes them thinks the subject is too hard to understand.

The end result is a code library that doesn’t make the inherent important hard parts organized and clear to work with, but obfuscates them.

Deestan,

Quack

Deestan,

This site mostly has articles that creatively rearrange parts of facts and sprinke sciency terminology to make incredible claims.

A retired physicist having a thought experiment on prehistoric remains years ago in a different context, plus some rando claiming these are man-made structures, becomes: “another hypothesis is that it was constructed by prehistoric human civilization (like described in the Silurian Hypothesis by NASA scientists)”

Deestan,

A good example of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance

Deestan,

Spam.

AI generated site that re-hosts an existing game.

Example of clearly AI drivel, the instruction for the player to “explain your answer”

Deestan,

HOOOONK HOOOONK HOOOONK! …if you know what I mean. ;)

Deestan,

Vague and does not cite sources meaningfully. The words that appear to link to sources, just link to other articles on the site.

Deestan,

Eagerly waiting for Tactical Breach Wizards to release…

Deestan,

Because the political leanings of a combat unit has zero bearing on anything. They are not in charge. They are not being allied with. They have aligned interests in fighting a greater evil.

So any attempts to pretend it matters does clearly, nakedly, come from a place of wanting to push back against supporting Ukraine’s defense.

Deestan,

Bringing the ships into waters completely monitored by countries friendly to Ukraine, and surrounded by a number of launching points for sabotage actions by basically anyone.

It would be a risky move if anybody cared about their navy, or felt it was a threat.

Deestan,

You misinterpreted it.

Deestan,

This.

Deestan,

If you check a DragEvent’s currentTarget it will always point to some appendage of a “dom”.

Hamas launches rocket attack towards Tel Aviv area (www.bbc.com)

Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.

Deestan,

Yes, the oppressed are eager to hurt people any way they can, and nobody can expect it to be any other way.

But still, launching long range missiles isn’t an impulse action. There are so many actors domestic and internationally to do production, procurement, installation, logistics, assembly, that we can assume someone high up has made a strategic decision based on expected outcome.

And the expected outcome is extremely obvious: a) zero tactical gains, and b) more excuses to ignore international pressure and hit Rafah even more brutally.

Deestan,

Any action other than assisting the invaders would be an improvement.

Deestan,

A doctor commented on how alarming it was that he suffered liver damage from the project - it was on a level they only saw in people drining heavily.

Blinken hints at US sanctions against ICC over arrest warrants for Israeli leaders (www.independent.co.uk)

Antony Blinken has indicated that he will work with American lawmakers on potential sanctions against the International Criminal Court after it sought arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and defence minister, setting the stage for a confrontation with the world court in the Hague.

Deestan,

If heads of state can be held responsible for war crimes in the middle east, it sets a dangerous precedent for the US.

Deestan,

There are hundreds more!

US kindergarten slapfight, not world news

Deestan,

He keeps posting stuff like that. People report it.

Sometimes the lemmy.ml mods notice the reports and drop by to tell people to stop reporting him or ban anyone who disagree too loudly.

Nemo Mettler, proud nonbinary from Switzerland, won the Eurovision.

Deestan,

First ever (?) entry to end up more dressed at the end of the performance than at the start start.

Like a reverse Spain.

Deestan,

I wonder how many seconds this would last on !memes

Deestan,

It’s so funny to be reminded of that period in the 90s where any first person game was described as a “DOOM clone”, because DOOM itself was the first FPS that hugely took off.

Deestan,

First semifinal in just two days. If you have somewhere to watch it, I recommend it strongly.

Oh, and come on over and bring more life to !eurovision :)

Hamas armed wing says responsible for Israel-Gaza border crossing attack (www.reuters.com)

The armed wing of Palestinian Islamist group Hamas claimed responsibility on Sunday for an attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza, which Israeli and Palestinian media reports said had resulted in Israeli casualties....

Deestan,

Товарищ американец! Байден старый, слабый и злой. Буквально вчера он назвал всех жителей Газы педофилами.

Хотя демократы хорошие, я воздержусь от голосования, чтобы сигнализировать об этом, и вы тоже должны это сделать.

Deestan,

Making up stuff to demonize your opponents is shitty.

I don’t believe this unsubstantiated and clearly incorrect post is an honest mistake from you.

Deestan,

That’s NOT how Bitcoin works. Listen-

Deestan,

Where’s the harm in taking violent criminals, giving them a year of practice doing war crimes, traumatize them up a bit, and then releasing them into civilized society?

Deestan,

If you can expend more artillery, you can use less soldiers.

Deestan,

No, that’d be weird. You use artillery and soldiers.

The less soldiers you lose, the more you have left.

Deestan,

Assume I’m a psychopath C-level executive. Why would I spend huge resources on a success that earns money when I can earn money on fifty screwups instead?

Deestan,

Modi is just a bit behind on his inbox is all.

Deestan,

Any context? Or is it just a random person dying horribly?

Deestan,

There already are a lot of laws covering that. This one is to cover an additional angle where people create deepfake without provably publishing it, the intent being that showing it to friends and verbally threatening to “leak” them should be easier to prosecute.

If you create a deepfake and share it, you’re slapped with two crimes.

Deestan,

Is caricature illegal, by this standard?

No.

The official government announcement is linked in the article btw.

Deestan,

It’s a fascinating field! Simplified: Make a machine that it is impossible to guess the likely outcome of with odds larger than 50/50.

We are talking any tiny advantageous guess here. If I predict 50/50 that a coin will go heads up, slight imbalances will cause it to go heads on average 51 times out of 100 tosses. Play for a dollar a million times, and I’m rich.

And if I know roughly how you will toss the coin, I can improve my prediction another tiny amount by knowing which side was up when you lift it up to toss it.

The field is about making a process that successfuly hides information so I can’t know what state the internal workings of the coin tosser is at any time. It has huge overlap with cryptography.

Deestan,

All batmans are valid. All batmans are loved.

Deestan,

I like looking at trains and birds.

Deestan,

Dunno about the deal with the man in front, but feels like their getup can be reused soon for the Eurovision kicking off.

Deestan,

Paul of LoadingReadyRun made an entire channel out of that just to see how it worked out: youtube.com/

Deestan,

We need more like her who take the threat as a threat and act like it’s a threat.

Being “serious” or calm about it is not working, and catastrophically so.

Deestan,

My goodness! Didn’t we have one of those just last week? Truly, the cosmos spoils us, dear Blåhaj.
