1. Haha, just because someone is smart/knows one thing, doesn't mean they are smart/knows everything about all things. Especially when talking about people educated in STEM, not Humanities or Philosophy

2. There are plenty of engineers, statisticians, scientists and intelligence analysts who are religious fanatics or just power hungry or want to advance in the IRGC ranks/carrier ladder. Khamene.ai is a Living God and there are many engineers, statisticians, scientists and intelligence analysts who worship this deity

3. There are also lots of engineers, statisticians, scientists and intelligence analysts who are threatened and forced to work for the IRGC. Just like it was in the Soviet Union under the Communism

To be frank, it wouldn't be a surprise for Trump to claim "total obliteration" while having achieved nothing substantial.

This would also be a very convenient way to break the current impasse: Trump can claim victory and brag about US weapons, Iranians can continue their program virtually unscathed, perhaps after bombing some minor evacuated US base for show.

After the dust settles, Iran can withdraw fron NNPT and the next day have Pakistan ship them a bomb. Peace (via MAD) achieved! Maybe we should even give Donald his Nobel prize for that.

Israel's government is probably only in power as long as they continue to start and wage war against countries in the neighborhood. It was very convenient for them, that the attack of October 7th happened, just when ten thousands of people went on the streets to protest against their attempt to take away power from the judges and elevate themselves.

In the US the election might have been tempered with, according to newest reports, so the government might not even be actually democratically elected and Trump is playing the autocrat's playbook, going as far as arresting political opponents without a warrant.

Iran no question there.

That makes 3 out of 3 in my book.

I am not so sure your statement is footed on a solid base these days.

Yeah, what I did to "solve" my issue was to use several models (4), then where there was any disagreement farm out to humans (2). 60% went to humans in the end.

I suspect if I'd done some corrective transformations before LLM scanning the success rate would have been higher, but the cost threshold of the project didn't warrant it.

Iran and Israel were allies before Iran was taken over by religious leaders. Even after that, Israel tried to keep the peace hoping that reasonable people would take over again but they never did. Iran has been supplying and funding Hamas and other enemies of Israel for decades.

In my mind there is no doubt who the good guys are in that particular conflict. Iran started it decades ago for no reason other than religious hate, has kept it up until now and Iran is the one escalating.

Nothing in most of their beliefs. They’re both monotheistic and similar in many regards as Islam largely inherited its tenants from both Judaism and Christianity.

Jews were often well treated and flourished in the earlier Islamic caliphates.

But with the formation of a Jewish Israel the conflict. Generally in Islamic belief there must be an Islamic caliphate with Sharia Law. Jerusalem is considered one of the holy sites of Islam and therefore belongs to that caliphate.

That’s contrasted with Judaism and Israel being the land promised to the Jews. Though modern Israel was largely founded by secular Jews so it’s a bit more complicated on that front.

Telegram indeed does have excellent UX, speed and multi-device support.. as all clients are open source, there should be a (convoluted, rocky) way to port them to use the matrix protocol (an idea I've had a couple of months back).. or, instead of one-time porting, insert a protocol bridge running as sidecar in order to be able to keep in sync with upstream TG code (Pavel himself seems to be doing _immense_ amounts of coding on it)..

Anyone up to the challenge?

I'm really tired of people saying "actual terrorism"; as if there's not an actual definition of what terrorism is.

For those following along; the definition of terrorism is:

> the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear

Which civilians are hiding in uranium enrichment plants? Sites that are claimed to not be for nuclear power, but for making weapons.

Really?

1) Nukes were built mostly by Ukrainian engineers. They would do just fine. They could also build and launch satellites if needed.

2) So Ukraine couldn't launch them because they needed electronics and satellites, but some rogue state with deep pocket could? Okay.

3) Of course!

Comrade, that is Russian propaganda you are disseminating here.

Do you frequently stop reading articles two sentences in? It's amazing how much knowledge and intelligence you must be missing.

Please do keep reading past. The next sentence (literally sentence #3) gives you: Nonetheless, there are core elements which are generally agreed upon as forming the cultural foundation of modern Europe. One list of these elements given by K. Bochmann includes:

And then a detailed list of shared-culture-related items.

- A common cultural and spiritual heritage derived from Greco-Roman antiquity, Christianity, Judaism, the Renaissance, its Humanism, the political thinking of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the developments of Modernity, including all types of socialism;[5][4]

- A rich and dynamic material culture, parts of which have been extended to the other continents as the result of industrialization and colonialism during the "Great Divergence";[5]

- A specific conception of the individual expressed by the existence of, and respect for, a legality that guarantees human rights and the liberty of the individual;[5]

- A plurality of states with different political orders, which share new ideas with one another.[5]

- Respect for peoples, states, and nations outside Europe.

And then there are 15 categories from Music to Science to History, listing cultural similitudes or shared values.

> What makes this fascinating is that Ronacher knows this ("Is that even valid when there's barely a human in the loop?") but published anyway.

That has very pragmatic reasons. People should be able to use this library, in my jurisdiction I cannot place things in the public domain. So there are two outcomes: the Apache 2 license is valid and you can use it, or it was impossible to copyright it in the first place and it's in the public domain. Either way you are free to use it.

I'm not sure what else I can really do here.

> The USA is not a theocracy, though.

Hence I brought it up, yes.

> Their constitution places Jewish identity on the same level as their democratic statute.

Many reputable democracies[1], including Germany, Australia, Norway or Switzerland, have a reference to god in their constitution; that doesn't make them theocracies. Even in the USA, presidents swear their oath on the bible!

> businesses in many cities being boycotted into respecting the Sabbath and other religious holidays

Try purchasing something on a Christian holiday in Germany. Did you know it's prohibited by law to play Life of Brian in public on Easter Sunday there?

> such as believing they were gifted the "land of Israel" by their god

That in turn isn't government directive, but a political opinion amongst several. Now I'm very much in opposition to a lot of what the Israeli government does, but they're really not what the term Theocracy means. That claim is just ridiculous.

…and it’s also not clear what it gets you, OP.

Commitment takes effort from the customer. If you are a psychologist that studied for 20 years, I know we may not work well, but you will not bail in 1 month. If you are an entrepreneur with less experience or a coach who recently changed his vocation to become one, at least I believe you had conscious focused short-term effort. With AI/LLM you could have prototyped something in one day and I will never know how serious your intent is if there is no immediate financial or psychological return.

Hey everyone! I just launched LingoLeap this keek, I built it because I'm passionate about learning languages, and I found most existing tools either too limited or too bloated. As a techie, I wanted something more customizable, lightweight, and respectful of my privacy.

This extension started as a side project to help me translate quickly while reading or browsing, and now I'm exploring ways to integrate AI for smarter translations — without sending all your data to the cloud.

If you're a language learner, translator, or just someone who switches between languages a lot, I hope this tool makes your experience smoother.

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or feature ideas!

No, Philistine (and all the variants) comes from a Greek word for "uncouth" and is a word for the ancient Philistines given by their neighbours; it's unknown what the Philistines called themselves. The Philistines weren't the Phoenicians, they were more recent invaders (possibly some of the "Sea People"). For one, the Philistines were Aegean and the Phoenicians were Semitic. The Philistines also disappeared (either killed or assimilated) while the Phoenicians spawned Carthage (the ones in the Levant probably just assimilated over time as many powers controlled the area after them).

It only became the name for the land after the Bar Kockba revolt, the Romans named it such specifically to spite the Jews. And then it stuck when various powers controlled the land over time (Romans/East Romans aka. Byzantines, Caliphate, Ottomans, British).

>> the chance at least one is noise is 1 – 0.95⁵ ≈ 23 %

> The chance of each winner being genuine is still 95%

Not really. It depends on what’s the unknown (but fixed in a frequentist analysis like this one) difference between the options - or absence thereof.

If there is no real difference it’s 100% noise and each winner is genuine with probability 0%. If the difference is huge the first number is close to 0% and the second number is close to 100%.

I've been using a similar workflow with Sideberry on Firefox. It does work semi-good for research, though it still needs some manual organizing.

I think tree-tab browsers need some kind of scripting to automate curation: a new youtube.com tab will close itself and refresh the main one; tabs can have an exponentially decaying score reset on interaction, which puts them into the "Archived" and then closes them at certain thresholds, with some domains having a higher base; a simple Bag of Words classifier can group your tabs when called; etc. Otherwise you just waste too much time periodically organizing your persistent 400 tab window.

But like, if, 120 million years from now, there is no life that has an analogue to poop, would they be able to guess that the coprolites they discovered were the waste products of a lifeform? Why couldn't it just be the remains of the body parts of ancient life?

Like what if oil/petroleum is actually the poop of ancient lifeforms, but we assume it's the remains of the lifeforms themselves.

> One would hope, but if Allah is protecting them why would they need to fear retaliation?

Allah or Jahwe, what's the difference. Both countries are some kind of theocracies, that see infidels as inferior. If Israel has nukes, so should Iran. At least Iran is Shia, so different from the most Muslims, which are Sunni.
by pms | 2025-06-22 10:25:39+00:00
I don't think that's sustainable, because it leads to injustice, i.e., countries with nuclear weapons abusing their power, which in the end encourages all countries to get nuclear weapons to protect their own safety and interests.

As challenging as it sounds, we need to develop a strong impartial international institution whose the only mission would be maintaining peace and preventing wars on the planet. This should be the only entity that's approved to have nuclear weapons.

"Did you somehow magically miss the part"

Could you tone down your arrogance, please?

I was talking about the next election. You expressed your conviction that Yanukovich could be removed in the next election, remember?

I expressed my doubt about iron-cladness of such future election. Strongmen-like leaders in fresh democracies have a lot of methods how to win next elections without actually winning them.

Just to set the story straight:

- Libya was bombed primarily by France and then other NATO countries for no good reason. And from a functioning dictatorship it is a failed state.

- Syria was invaded by Turkey/US right after the civil war started.

In the world we all live in you need to have powerful deterrents so that the US/France/UK/NATO will not dare to bomb you for whatever reason they feel "justified" to do.

In an extreme, I think every country should have a lot of nukes so other countries can mind their own business.

Do any of these YouTube extensions retrieve videos in a way which is unassociated with my IP? I’d really rather not get my google account banned, or my searches rate limited. These aren’t happening now, but I believe they will in the future to the point where I actively avoid using any tooling from my home connection, and vps’ seem to be blocked by YouTube already.

The examples in the video didn’t make it seem like it was that useful.

I’m no golfer, but I’d think for golf a person would want to know the actual wind speed/direction where they are, not a report for the nearest weather station or airport.

The other stuff already seemed pretty well served by existing devices, without the need for it always a person’s face, with voice being the only way to interact.

Reports are that if Iran keeps things going on, Israel is going to run out of interceptors in 10 days or so, at which point they are gonna be seriously damaged. Some missiles are already getting through, there's speculation of hyper-sonic missiles from Iran or just failure to shoot them down.

Either way: This doesn't stop here, and it was never about these bogus nuclear weapons (which are just around the corner since the 80's) just like Iraq was not about weapons of mass destruction. They want to place a puppet government...what could go wrong?

> Users are randomly assigned to one of the four layouts and you track their activity. Your hypothesis is: layout influences signup behavior.

> You plan ship the winner if the p-value for one of the layout choices falls below the conventional threshold of 0.05.

Tests P-value B is winner 0.041 A is winner 0.051 D is winner 0.064 C is winner 0.063

What kind of comparison between the results for the four options makes each of them a likely winner? They all rank very well in whatever metric is being used!

Or maybe the are they being compared with a fifth - much worse - alternative.

That's nonsense. This is what westerners like to tell themselves because all they read is western media coverage of Iran.

No, 80 million people don't want to end the regime. Westerners can't fathom the fact that not everyone wants to live in a democratic free-for-all.... so clearly anyone who doesn't deserves bombing.

Pathetic. Imperialism is encoded in the DNA of Americans at this point.

How do you imagine Iran giving up? If anything, it will radicalize. This would happen even if you did anything remotely similar to your kid (i.e., attacked the kid violently because of an accusation they did something wrong), not to mention to a state that revolted against US political manipulation 45 years ago.

I'm wondering whether Trump knows that Iran won't give up and nevertheless pushes forward, or does he really believe that Iran can surrender? I think that's 99.99999% wrong belief. It feels like he is expressing it only to cover up his actions. He probably knows this will lead to a long-term escalation, but thinks that's the right thing to do for the interests of groups/countries he cares about.

That's because nobody learns how to do statistics and/or those who do are not really interested in it.

There's so much wrong you crammed into just three points am at loss to even where should I start.

The value of nuclear weapons is in the warheads not delivery vehicles. Even then Ukraine absolutely could maintain a trimmed down nuclear arsenal with the missiles/engines serviced by Yuzhmash. After all bare ass Russia did it in the 1990s somehow. All the American financing of nuclear security to Russia would have been proportionally redirected to Ukraine.

Then, Ukraine possessed a stockpile of highly enriched uranium all way until 2011. It was indeed sold off under Yanukovich to a rogue state though: Russia.

There is one huge drawback to not signing the memorandum: Lukashenka's Belarus (another signatory) would have also kept the nukes. This is however never brought up by the memorandum fans and non-proliferation enjoyers on the Internet precisely because it's not something they would have minded.

Why do you think that’s true? You can take an average person globally and more or less realize it takes very little to make someone anti-Israeli foreign policy. It doesn’t take some large brainwashing operation. In fact, one could argue the propaganda is coming from a side that wants to paint a narrative that there is this huge operation against Israel when in reality an average 16 year old in America can spot the bad actor in a situation rather quickly (yes, that’s genz , the supposedly “brainwashed” dumbasses).

Jews are a traumatized people. They can never truly shed the insecurity that entire continents and countries can be hostile toward them (the entirety of Europe during ww2). They are making trauma informed decisions, and can never be trusted to do so alone because it’s actual trauma.

The biggest myth is that Israel is a first world country but there’s no evidence of it. Buildings and infrastructure do not make you a first world country (behold China). Any country that is that brutal will never meet the criteria, it’s a third world country that is new and learning just like every other third world country.

Blood-thirst (blood-rage? They see red.) is an understatement when it comes to this country as of 2025. We need things to change over the next 20 years. They do not know how to manage life due to just how intense their historical trauma was. There’s no one over there with a cool head and clinically there wouldn’t be (how do you just act normal after the holocaust? You can’t.)

The failure of the Trump admin is unique and unlike any other administration. It is was once accepted that Israel is not level headed (again, not an insult, one cannot be balanced if one emerges through hellfire) and cannot dictate foreign policy. Trump just said “fuck it, go ahead traumatized child, do as you please” - this was pure insanity.
