That is more than a 10% loss of that customer base in 2 month.

For any industry that is huge.

The DNC Dems are there to prevent a progressive party from forming. The DNC Dems are working together with the Reps to fight against the people of America for the rich oligarchs running the country.

We warned that this is what is going on before the last presidential election and before that. But people wouldn’t want to listen, instead defending “slow genocide” and “lesser of two evils” and other insane statements. Now they keep getting screwed as the DNC Dems understand that they will keep getting away with it.

Hamas is a product of Israeli occupation. The IDF is a product of Israeli national identity.

If it wouldn’t be Hamas, it would be a different violent organization, like before PFLP, PLO, etc. When people are brutally oppressed, it leads to violent resistance, that often will not limit itself to military targets.

They are both linked through their families colonizing history in South Africa, including staunch Nazi support in their families.

The survey did not ask participants whether they support Palestinians more broadly, despite Israeli leaders repeatedly framing their war as being against all Palestinians, not only Hamas.

Oh no, how terrible for media to follow standards in reporting when it comes to criminal suspects, rather than throwing these standards overboard and allowing for witch hunts. Because that would never backfire onto the people at large…

We live in a society and you can’t have it all your way.

Social norms are necessary when people come together.

Someones interest in not wearing pants needs to be weighted against other peoples interest not wanting to see their hairy balls halfway falling out of their slip. Imagine if that coworker whose “jokes” are just short of sexual harassment now gets to run around naked and rub his balls on your desk and you are not allowed to tell him to fuck off, because that would violate his “no-pants”-rights.

It seemed that for Jackass ultimately noone was killed. Also it seems that the participants were not in a vulnerable situation that was exploited, but engaged with full consent and were able to give consent.

After the whole spiking their own wifes and mothers to pass around for rape online, including with making videos and now this, i am starting to think France has a pretty bad problem with psychopaths and a society that is looking away or even encouraging it rather than stepping in.

Very few people need a truck like yours. They need one guy in their friend group with a truck like yours who they can ask for a favor every couple years.

Or just get a rental for that day, unless they live in the middle of nowhere. But in the latter case they will know someone with that type of truck for sure.

“wouldnt accomplish anything”

Because Netanyahu could have slapped Biden on stage, whipped out his Penis and stuck it in Bidens mouth for the entire world to see and the Biden administration would have upped the arms shipments the next day.

The core principle of the Biden administration was to support the genocide and pretend not to. The Trump administration just dropped the pretense.

Start with the corner, eventually you just have to move to the snake.

Putin cant visit most countries anymore. Netanyahu neither. Exceptions are the US who want to destroy the ICC anyways and recently Hungary who now want to leave the ICC to suck up to Netanyahu.

As an internationally active company there is many jurisdictions, where Microsoft can be held accountable.

Helping a genocide is very much illegal. If you sell precursor chemicals for poison gas to a death camp operator, you are also complicit.

After Oct. 7 the usage by the IDF exploded. In early 2024 reports about the AI tools used to justify slaughtering Civilians en masse came out, employees have been raising alarms through the “proper” channels and then went to public protest as Microsoft ignored them and cracked down on any mention of it in Forums, Town Halls and the like.

They absolutely know that they are complicit and would rot in prison the rest of their lifes if this goes to court properly.

As fiber is rolled out more, i see less and less why it would be cost prohibitive?

All you need to do to connect a remote place is lay a cable. More expensive if you need dig a trench and put the cable in there. But if it can be done for electricity it can be done for fiber.

Which are based on LLMs or other neural network models. It is kind of the thing that language models are actually good at.

See DeepL for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepL_Translator

The service uses a proprietary algorithm with convolutional neural networks (CNNs)[3] that have been trained with the Linguee database.[4][5]
According to the developers, the service uses a newer improved architecture of neural networks, which results in a more natural sound of translations than by competing services.
The translation is said to be generated using a supercomputer that reaches 5.1 petaflops and is operated in Iceland with hydropower.[6][7]
In general, CNNs are slightly more suitable for long coherent word sequences, but they have so far not been used by the competition because of their weaknesses compared to recurrent neural networks.
The weaknesses of DeepL are compensated for by supplemental techniques, some of which are publicly known.

I think it should be words added in the translation that do not translate directly from the Arabic but add to the context of the Arabic words. This notation seems specific to this translation though.

Every translation is also an interpretation. This is one of the reasons why there is a lot of emphasis on preserving the Quran in Arabic and learning the classical Arabic to understand it.

Quran 29:65

فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ

“If they happen to be aboard a ship ˹caught in a storm˺, they cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion. But as soon as He delivers them ˹safely˺ to shore, they associate ˹others with Him once again˺.”

The thing with “just works” in monopolies is that it eventually stops working. I already have terrible excel bugs all the time on my work computer. Left clicking a cell sometimes just selects half a dozen adjancent cells. You vlick something and all of a sudden the rendering just goes completely haywire… You have two larger tables open and it just crashes…

Things will only get worse from this, until the global economy will loose trillions to being stuck with Microsoft.
