2% of what exactly?

Still might be enough regenerative braking from just the weight of the truck though.

In that case no, because it’d be bringing the weight of the truck and the ore with it.

I’m not sure what your problem is. Is nobody allowed to point out the failures in the Democrat campaign?

I mean it gets the customers status symbols and the manufacturers money. As long as those phones later end up on the used market it’s a win-win.

Wait isn’t Ireland an EU tax haven?

Isn’t that just cloud computing but with extra steps?

Even then. LLMs are fundamentally unable to create AGI; we’d need another paradigm shift in the field.

LLMs are unable to create AGI. It’s mathematically impossible.

I agree on the premise that occupation is not a defensive strategy.

Even if it is. If their defense requires them to turn another people into second class citizens in their own lands, then fuck them.

I think you misunderstand something. You don’t need to kill everyone for it to be genocide. That is why the Un definition is as broad as it is. The Germans genocided the Slavs and they never had any intention of wiping them out (the survivors were meant to become slaves). Europran colonizers committed genocide against North Americans and wiping them out was just a side effect, not the point.

I see you’re not even trying to deny that Hezbollah has, indeed, been firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel nearly every day.

I mean Israel was doing exactly the same thing. Literally the same thing. Their “targeted” airstrikes aren’t any better than what Hezbollah does.

I mean take a look at South Africa’s case. They have evidence of genocidal acts (causing significant harm to an ethnic group) and genocidal intent (the countless quotes from high ranking Israeli officials calling for genocide). It’s genocide; it’s just that the case is taking a while.

I mean we’re looking at at least 10%. That’s… Uh… A lot, to say the least.

Clearly anything Hamas does is justified retaliation

No? They definitely weren’t justified in raping and killing civilians in October 7th. However, as an oppressed and occupied people, they have a permanent casus belli against Israel until the latter starts taking serious steps towards peace, so the act of attacking Israel on October 7th (remember that 66% of the dead were military or security targets; they didn’t just kill some civilians and leave) itself is a legitimate act of resistance.

While some credit is given to stopping the Holocaust, certainly, that was largely a side effect of simply winning WW2.

Yeah, I know. My phrasing was bad. I meant they’re being praised for fighting Germany and stopping thr Holocaust, not that they entered WWII to stop the Holocaust. I was trying to point out the ridiculousness of criticizing a country trying to stop genocide happening close to it.

Uh… Did you not hear of that one Lancet study about how it’s likely for every documented death there are 5 undocumented deaths? Do you understand how the Gazan healthcare system has already collapsed and they’re unable to count the dead? Even just taking the current 41k and multiplying them by 5 gives 205 thousand, or more than 10% of Gaza’s population. All of Gaza is in famine, with North Gaza faring the worst, and Israel still refuses to let aid in. How do you call 10% of the population (already more than all Hamas members) dying anything other than a genocide?

Uh… Israel was and still is committing genocide. And before that it was Apartheid and slower genocide. Setting aside the idea of refugees and how Lebanon is next after Gaza and the West Bank, every country in the world has a duty under international law to stop genocide and other crimes against humanity. The fact that Israel is committing genocide is, in and of itself, is a casus belli. This is the exact same thing the Allies get praised for in WWII. Also you’re phrasing it like Israel wasn’t responding each of these rockets with a lot more rockets, but even if we ignore all that: Israel made the conscious decision to escalate the conflict with Hezbollah with the pager attack and subsequent airstrikes.

You’re right. In this analogy Germany entered Poland 40 years ago and there was no WWII to make them cut out their bullshit.

You’ve got that the other way around. You can’t copyright AI generated pictures, but pictures created by AI can still be taken down as violations of copyright law.

Name recognition and privacy are also positives though.
