I quoted the IDF spokesperson

You didn’t quote the spokesperson. You quoted the article that paraphrased the spokesperson. And that the whole situation, in which three people died, was summed up in one sentence didn’t make you wonder if you actually know all the details needed to pass judgement, instead you are absolutely sure that what happened confirms your already made up opinion.

the IDF, who doesn’t have a great track record with honesty

There is exactly no one denying this. That doesn’t mean that everything they say is a lie though, as that would make them very bad liars.

Your just making shit up

I’m making shit up, but I’m presenting it as hypotheticals. You are making shit up and presenting it as facts.

Even your made up scenarios, what rules of engagement would allow soilders to fire on unnarmed people just because they were running?

Notice how your quote of “the spokesperson” didn’t even say they that they were acting within the rules of engagement? And how you left out the “towards them” bit (which seems relevant to me in a conflict that sees suicide bombing)?

edit: according to another news source they were killed during combat https://www.jta.org/2023/12/15/israel/israeli-forces-mistakenly-kill-3-hostages-during-fighting-in-gaza-idf-says

Or they were just running at them, maybe not shouting so as to not draw attention from Hamas. Or maybe they weren’t shouting because they were out of breath. Or perhaps they were shouting, but in a loud/distracting environment (e.g. a war or a big city) and the soldiers didn’t see them. Or maybe it was as you say. I don’t know, I’ve never been in a war zone and/or hostage situation, and I certainly didn’t see this situation. But apparently you were, because how else could you be so sure what happened? So, I’m glad you made it out alive <3

The bot fails to present both sides of the argument.

Yeah, a blog called “Electronic Intifada” sounds like trustworthy news source in this matter…

Source?

And no tooling will certainly improve the coding abilities. Especially since I remember all the code, including the changes others made in the time since I last looked at it.

Thanks. So Israel handed out work permits and “allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas”.

That’s sounds a bit different from “Netanyahu didn’t just let the attacks happen, we also know he funded Hamas, and has wanted the attack to use as casus belli so he could do some fucked up war crimes of his own.”

I’m not denying that he’s employing a “divide and conquer” strategy, that a lot of his doing is making the conflict worse, that’s he’s using the opportunity to do a lot of damage etc. But it’s not that he funded Hamas because he wanted the attack to happen (at least the article doesn’t prove that).

Netanyahu didn’t just let the attacks happen, we also know he funded Hamas

Can we have a source for that?

unfit for western society. I don’t care if they rot in prison or on a psych ward for mentally ill people they just should never be allowed back into society

Because people never change, especially 14 year olds. /s

Huh, I didn’t know that Auschwitz was in a war zone and people were firing rockets and coordinating terror attacks from inside Auschwitz.

(and no, that does not mean the kids dying in Gaza “deserved it” or something - it just means that OP is posting bullshit comparisons)

Sam Altman isn’t coming back to OpenAI

Almost as if they were intentionally targeting terrorists…

Not saying they aren’t lying, but this proves exactly nothing.

constantly rewrite both the code and tests as you better understand how you’re going to solve the task while trying

The tests should be decoupled from the “how” though. It’s obviously not possible to completely decouple them, but if you’re “constantly” rewriting, something is going wrong.

“Word templates led people to use the same formatting in communications, and eventually, this has become instantiated as a norm,” says Gloria Mark, a professor of informatics at the University of California, Irvine, where she studies human-computer interaction. If you work in finance, there’s a specific way reports are expected to be laid out. Letters follow a set pattern, memos are largely formatted in the same way. “Users know where to find information in these standardised documents; they don’t need to spend time trying to find what they need.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but at least Germany seems to have standards for this since 1949, so I doubt this can be contributed to Microsoft (alone).

Wikipedia states 4.5 million dead as a result of the “War on Terror”.

It’s Axel Springer. It’s a tabloid corporation that is constantly pushing racist, anti-left and anti-environment agendas. They have written in their core values that they will “support the Jewish people”, which seems like a good idea considering the role the German press played in the Holocaust. But they usually interpret this as “support everything the Israeli government does”.

Bold of him to assume that companies would not just publish the trash - and that people would not watch it anyway.

that’s why we fight to take the means back!

“Palestinian health ministry” - isn’t that Hamas?
