Am I in some weird alternative universe where Israel did not just engage in a genocidal campaign against a population of Palestinians that are descendants of refugees from their prior genocidal campaign? Israel just finished killing probably over a hundred thousand civilians. The displaced the majority of Gaza. They destroyed the vast majority of its hospitals and universities and public infrastructure. They killed foreign aid workers even after those foreign aid workers cleared their routes with Israelis. Israeli soldiers raped Palestinians on camera. Then those solders were celebrated on public Israeli television and by the Israeli government. Attempts to prosecute those solders resulted in punishment for the prosecutors.

Is Saudi Arabia a human rights violator? Yeah and so is a bunch of western governments. But no modern government comes close to the abuses of the Israeli government and Israeli military. This is the view of the free people of this world.

> from their prior genocidal campaign

Not only there is not a good argument for considering 1948 war a genocide on Palestinians but there is a much stronger argument Arabs have tried to genocide Jews (especially to those who think who think there was a genocide in Gaza because of starvation as a weapon of war + intent):

1. In 1948 Arab forces besieged Jerusalem and they were starting to run out of food.

2. Azzam Pasha, General Secretary of the Arab League, famously threatened "a war of extermination and a momentous massacre", Fawzi al-Qawuqji, commander of the Arab Liberation Army said that "we will have to initiate total war. We will murder, wreck and ruin everything standing in our way, be it English, American or Jewish.". Hell, several have even extended the threats to not just the Jews of Mandatory Palestine, but to Jews of the Arab world as a whole, such as Iraqi prime minister Nuri al-Said("if a satisfactory solution of the Palestine case was not reached, severe measures should be taken against all Jews in Arab countries.") or the head of the Egyptian delegation to the General Assembly, Muhammad Hussein Heykal("the lives of 1,000,000 Jews in Muslim countries would be jeopardized by the establishment of a Jewish state." ). As Matiel Mughannam, head of the Arab Women's Organization in Palestine put it in an interview with Nadia Lourie in January 1948, "The UN decision has united all Arabs, as they have never been united before, not even against the Crusaders.... [A Jewish state] has no chance to survive now that the `holy war' has been declared. All the Jews will eventually be massacred. " (See Benny Morris' 1948 for sources on all of these)

Please. There is literally documentaries with retirement age Israelis laughing about the horrible things they did to ethnically cleanse Jaffa and Haifa and various parts of historic Palestine. You accepting real war crimes that have happened repeatedly — from before Israel to now — at the hands of blood thirsty European Zionist settlers against Palestinians because of some rhetoric of Arab leaders? The way Zionists can act like victims when their victims get angry and fight back. It’s like that famous quote by that Ukrainian settler of Palestine that was a prime minister “we will never forgive the Arabs for making us kill their children” or something like that. Psychopaths.

Typical hasbara whataboutism, equating a statement by one guy that may or may not have been said 70 years ago to a livestream slaughter we just witnessed, where more than 50% of Israelis say "not enough force was used", not just offhanded remarks by radical leaders, which there are literal gigabytes of from Israelis of all walks of life. Just open up any popular political figure's Twitter and you'll see the most horrific statements, and not just statements, but action.

It isn't whataboutism to point out a wrong claim. Which statement is "a statement by one guy that may or may not have been said 70 years ago"? I gave four. I have made no claims about the current situation (and there was also plenty of action in 1948).

These are famous quotes. Are you arguing that somehow Benny Morris made them up and tricked everyone to think they are real?

I mean I get what you are saying but part of the problem is today this will be true tomorrow some poor chap maintaining the code will forget/misunderstand the intent and hello undefined behavior.

Is it easier than golang?

https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2025/07/24/memory-safety.html

Go is by default not thread safe. Here the author shows that by looping

    for {
        globalVar = &Ptr { val: &myval }
        globalVar = &Int { val: 42 }
     }

You can create a pointer with value 42 as the type and value are two different words and are not updated atomically

So I guess go is easier to write, but not with the same level of safety

Go is easy until one needs to write multithreaded code with heavy interactions between threads. Channels are not powerful enough to express many tasks, explicit mutexes are error prone and Context hack to support cancellation is ugly and hard to use correctly.

Rust channels implemented as a library are more powerful covering more cases and explicit low-level synchronization is memory-safe.

My only reservation is the way async was implemented in Rust with the need to poll futures. As a user of async libraries it is very ok, but when one needs to implement a custom future it complicates things.

It is of course human nature. The problem is what happens when algorithms can reenforce, exaggerate, and amplify the effects of this nature to promote engagement and ad-clicks. It’s cancer that will at the very least erode the agency of the average individual and in the worst create a hive mind that we have no control over. We are living in the preview of it all I think.

It can depend on your use case. Are you editing a large code base and will thus make lots of completion requests with large contexts?

Why can't we believe that? There are rallies for rapists in other countries. The current US president...

Seems like you either don’t understand math and what the word “average” means or you are just being inflammatory.

You don't seem to have a problem judging entirety of Israeli population by a fringe minority (and even that fringe minority is being misrepresented).

Sorry what fridge minority? Poll after poll has shown that most Israelis are basically happy with what is happening in Gaza.

Incredible goal post move

How? Israelis support the genocide. Israelis defend the rapists on your public TV channels.

I’m confused?

It’s just an observation. It’s an abstraction in the classical computer science sense in that you stack some modules and the backprop is generated. It’s leaky in the sense that you cant fully abstract away the details because of the vanishing/exploding gradient issues you must be mindful of.

It is definitely a useful thing for people who are learning this topic to understand from day 1.

You are missing his point.

I think I replied to the wrong comment, thank you.
