Comment Missed opportunity (Score 2) 52

Last week, the agency introduced Elsa, an artificial intelligence large-language model similar to ChatGPT.

They were so close to calling it Eliza.

I for one welcome my new drug approving overlords. Hallucinations are exactly what I look for in my drugs. "Cancer cure with a side trip to rotational-verse? Yes please, and cue up extra dimensions!"

"radically increase efficiency" in examining as many as 500,000 pages submitted for approval decisions.

Reject it, status tl;dr

I support Eisenhower's deployment of the military in Alabama. If that happened again, I would support it again. Racist governors and their segregationist supporters deserved to be knocked down. So as a general principal, it is definitely justified.

I have no opinion on what Trump is doing, since I don't understand the situation well enough (although Trump has a habit of doing stupid things, this prejudice makes me want to search for data more before forming an opinion, because I know I am biased against him).

Well now you're quoting the biblical narrative, mate.

Israel was not founded by Jews. It was founded by Canaanites, a polytheistic semitic ethnicity.

People were in Israel long, long before the Canaanites arrived. Long before even the Afroasiatic languages existed. Before the pyramids were built, this is where people passed when they departed Africa, and many of them left an archeological trace.

The earliest mention to Israel in ancient sources is the Mrnptah stele in 1200BCE. Plenty of other archeological evidence exists, like the fact that the residents stopped eating pork, or Hezekiah's tunnel and the well attested war between Sennacherib and Israel (far earlier than your date of 400BCE).

Your post is so factually wrong, that I can only conclude you are intentionally ignorant, desiring mainly to insult the current residents of the area (as opposed to being interested in the facts of the matter). Don't be a hater.

Indeed, but them matching one or several definitions of fascism does make them fascist. Let's take the criteria used by Laurence W. Britt (2003

Laurence W. Britt made his definition with the purpose of insulting Bush. I fully support that purpose, but it is not backed by science in any way.

In the modern era, calling someone fascist is an attempt to insult, not describe. And that is what you are doing, too.

Linux had Compiz with Enlightenment in the 2000s, with Metacity and Xfwm in the list as well. OSX got compositing first in 2001, but they didn't take full advantage of it, and Compiz had the most flashy effects of any windowing environment.

compositioning graphics system back then, and still doesn't really, it's mostly stuck in its 1980s technology of X11 limitations

Don't listen to the Wayland developers, they are ignoramuses.
