Arguably, the current AI's top strength is hallucinations over a broad domain, and it looks like is something we humans need. And human level judgment is something AI needs, at least I hope so...
anonair··on The Pentagon Threatened Pope Leo XIV's Ambassador with the Avignon Papacy
This is the administration claiming to fight middle-eastern theocracies ))
anonair··on I imported the full Linux kernel git history into pgit
I wish one day tools like gitlab and forgejo ditch filesystem storage for git repos and put everything in sqldb. I’m tired of replicating files for DR
anonair··on Stoolap/Node: A Native Node.js Driver That's Surprisingly Fast
Maybe sto-olap was meant by the authors?
anonair··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
I don't know what is really happening in Iran, but after Gaza genocide I don't trust a damn word from mainstream western media.
anonair··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
why Minnesotans don't choose another state to live in instead of protesting ICE?
anonair··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
I would argue it doesn't, because both cases are examples of guilt by association. One is history, the other is manufactured by israel
anonair··on The borrowchecker is what I like the least about Rust
Allowing this code:

    struct Id(u32);

    fn main() {
        let id = Id(5);
        let mut v = vec![id];
        println!("{}", id.0);
    }
would break ‘zero cost abstractions’.
anonair··on Leaked data reveals Israeli govt campaign to remove pro-Palestine posts on Meta
Why arrest if you can silence?
anonair··on The Stallman Report
How do we know that there are no powerful men behind anonymous accusations?
anonair··on PostgreSQL Streaming Replication (WAL); What It Is and How to Configure One
Yep, very strange, considering overall quality of the guide
anonair··on 2600.network Dialup Service
That design probably has more with phone network penetration rather than corporate firewalls. The most likely use case for on prem Google would be far away sites with no connectivity except a phone line
anonair··on Using PostgreSQL for military geoanalytics tasks
Is there some legal or moral significance of underlining that the occupation is _temporary_ ? Is _permanent_ occupation somewhat more justified or what?
anonair··on The pro-Israel information war
> Hamas to allow civilians to use its tunnels as shelters.

That is absurd. Israel bombs “facilities used by Hamas”, civilians going in Hamas tunnels will be a direct target for IDF.

anonair··on The pro-Israel information war
We can’t extrapolate 9/11 to all instances of radicalization but exclude Israel.
anonair··on The pro-Israel information war
Is it not though? The expulsion started immediately after UN partition recommendation of Nov 1947, the Arab-Israeli war started in May 1948, that is only 6 months later
anonair··on JDK 21 Release Notes
Just use a custom template processor
anonair··on JDK 21 Release Notes
I agree that $ is more common and causes less visual friction, but what I like about \{} is that on my keyboard they are three keys adjacent to each other.
anonair··on An effort to ban caste discrimination in California has touched a nerve
I'm confused, why most people here refer to "South Asian community"? Isn't caste system relevant only to non-muslim part of a single country?
anonair··on Car Bloat: “Huge Cars Are Terrible for Society”
In Turkiye stupid tax rules make pickup trucks (e.g. Toyota Hilux) cheaper than more efficient 2 row SUVs (e.g. Toyota RAV4).
anonair··on Ox
In turkic langs we have öküz/өгіз and likes, and they indeed mean ox.
anonair··on Show HN: Procal: A simple Qt-based programming calculator
So, for PyQT to exist, Python must be GPL’ed? That doesn’t seem reasonable.
anonair··on Show HN: A simple world flags game, my first web dev project as a beginner
and the more tricky version to choose from countries/flags with similar design
anonair··on Show HN: A simple world flags game, my first web dev project as a beginner
There should be a reverse version also, with a nation in top and choose a flag below
anonair··on You don't have to engage with people on the Internet
Sadly (?), in some cultures lying, libel and profanity is not something normally expected even from anonymous strangers, so they basically believe most things on Twitter and Facebook. And applying critical thinking to every piece of info online is too much effort and time-consuming, so that is not practical for the unsophisticated.

May be there should be at least some effort to address "realistic looking" misinfo, so that the lack thereof could not be interpreted as avoiding to engage out of fear.

anonair··on The Cancellation of ‘Jihad Rehab’
I read the article, and only saw her account of the name. If you have more reputable source for that I will retract
anonair··on The Cancellation of ‘Jihad Rehab’
No, article mentions _her_ statement about the name. If you have a more reputable source for that, I will retract
anonair··on The Cancellation of ‘Jihad Rehab’
And your source for Islam is Ayatollah? He is not even a sunni. The point is he directly/indirectly benefits from misrepresenting the Prophet
anonair··on The Cancellation of ‘Jihad Rehab’
One doesn't need seeing the film to notice the racism in the title. The title could be "terrorist rehab", but it now looks like jihad is bad per se, while jihad for Muslims can mean anything from "struggle against self ego" to "defend country from invasion". All Muslim scholars denounce terrorism and yet she chose "jihad" in the title.
anonair··on Mechanics invent an axle that can achieve steering angles of up to 80 degrees
Also RWS present in the video helps to make rear wheels push the front wheels in more obtuse angle (sorry, not my first language)
