"One high-profile journalist targeted in this way was Al Jazeera reporter Anas Al-Sharif, who was killed along with four colleagues in an Israeli airstrike earlier this month. After his death, the Israeli army quickly circulated documents claiming he had been a Hamas operative since 2013. "Yet even if taken at face value, the files showed his last contact with Hamas was in 2017 – years before the current war," said France 24."
You think Israel shows every bit of intel they have???? The last thing they showed being 2017 doesn't say he was only Hamas for four years.
The basic problem here is that all the terrorist groups over there call their propaganda people "reporters". In a sense they are, they are reporting on events. That does not make them not considered combatants, though. Israel has found terrorist affiliation for about half of the dead "reporters", but that doesn't make the others civilians. Hit a combatant, the person next to him is probably also a combatant.
You're using the term "terrorist" to describe people indigenous to the land that Israel stole. If you use logic, that makes Israel that terrorist group since they used violence to kick Palestinians out of their land and homes, not the other way around.
Lookup the Jewish terrorist groups Irgu, Lehi, and Haganah. Lookup the assassination of Lord Moyne by Lehi and the 1946 Irgun bombing of the King David Hotel. The leaders of these terrorist groups eventually became Prime Ministers of Israel.
While you're at it, lookup the attack by the Israeli military on the USS Liberty that killed 34 Americans.
Hezbollah isn't in Israel, so any argument about what happened in Israel is irrelevant. And by far the primary cause of Palestinians leaving was Arab countries telling them to get out of the way of the coming invasion. And, well, when you refuse to agree to lay down arms is it really surprising you're not allowed back in?
King David Hotel? You mean British military HQ? Who received and ignored the warning about the bomb?
USS Liberty--ever consider how hard it is to identify ships from the air in a combat situation? Israel knew the ship claimed to be American, but they thought that was a ruse.
> USS Liberty--ever consider how hard it is to identify ships from the air in a combat situation? Israel knew the ship claimed to be American, but they thought that was a ruse.
Everybody outside of the IDF PR department has accepted that Israel deliberately targeted USS Liberty.
The “misidentification” story was utterly unbelievable at the time, and remains so now. There are endless statements from top US national security officials directly calling the Israelis liars.
> ... the person next to him is probably also a combatant
Absolutely, they could even be future combatants even if they are not now. That's why killing schoolgirls in Iran, reporters in Lebanon, etc. is justified, they are all potential terrorists. It definitely can not be proven otherwise that they are not. Why take a chance? /s
I think automated scanning can be positive for the defenders, when the rate of introducing new vulnerabilities vs fixing old ones is < 1 (detection rate + infra is a factor too ofc). In that case, AI can become the many eyes to check FOSS and those projects will eventually reach a "secure" state.
To show you your hyperbole: Allowing monkeys on typewriters.
LLMs are neither IDEs nor random.
I am very sceptical about iterative AI deployment too. People pretend the success threshold is vibing somethging that gets widely used, but its more than that. These one-shot solutions are not project maintenance. Answer yourself this one, could LLMs do what the linux kernel cummunity did over the same time span? This would be a good measure of success and if so, a strong argument to allow generated contributions.
Exploring the motivation might reveal the brought up disadvantages already exist else where. So what threat is unique to china?
You could also ask the invers. How can china strengthen us. And one thing i could envision is, china passing laws for sustainable product design, so eg. electronics are robust, repairabe and most importantly, recyclable. Would be nice to see china ramping up and following their sustainability goals and do what western countries will fail on too.
There is a better 4D chess explanation of why Alon bought twitter and i hate to bring it.
When he bought it, right wing publications all over world got excited because twitter was the global / official communications channel for alot of entities and largely considered left leaning. When your plan is to disrupt that bubble and amplify right leaning narratives (he helped trump1 getting elected with it), you better cover your tracks and make that purchase look like an accident.
Your entire point of humans being clumsy and stoopid and not inherently evil is generally true but for this benign incompetence is why all the discrimination layers, from scool grades to referals, etc. exist.
Whould you give a physician making life-or-death decisions and opsi-budget before you walk away? No. Then where do you draw the line until this irresponsible behavior becomes evil? Evil is defined here not by the individuals intentions but by the outcome.
Would you agree with me, that all the decision makers and elites sabotaging renewable energies and sustainability are evil? Keep in mind, they all might have their clumsy excuses.
What triggered me was the proposed Arc<dyn TRAIT> as a quick fix. I was highlevel rustin along the learning curve as the article describes until i stumbled uppon dyn-compatible types and object safety.
It is too easy to trap yourself in by sprinkling in Sized and derive(Hash) ontop of your neat little type hierarchy and then realize, that this tight abstraction is tainted and you cant use dyn anymore. As a follow up trigger: This was when i learned derive macros :)
