You're absolutely right, only 95% of health services were crippled. Thanks, that changes the meaning of GP entirely.

This is an important distinction. Anti-Israeli propaganda keeps echoing the false narrative of all hospitals having been totally destroyed.

The truth is that out of the 36 hospitals operating before the conflict 19 are still operational. That's a pretty far cry from 95%. There used to be 3000 hospital beds available and now there are 2000. There are also an additional 13 field hospitals.

That's a very different story (keeping in mind that Israel has taken control of large areas and any hospital that used to be there wouldn't be in use either).

Given the scale of the war and the documented use of hospitals for military purposes we have to expect there will be some impact:

AI democratizes knowledge better than wikipedia ever could. It makes knowledge accessible to those who can't find good teachers (a good teacher is ridiculously rare). It makes knowledge accessible to those who've been let down by our capitalist society.

I don't care that you hate it. It's the best thing to happen to us in a long time and anyone who disagrees does so on a mountain of privilege. I'm happy for you to have learned everything you know, but to desire to take it away from everyone else is abhorrent to me.


dang I cannot respect you enough. Thank you. I have strong feelings about Palestine and learned quite long ago how powerless my rhetoric is. Although I believe I see the truth, it's clear the world needs yet more time. The only thing that must be done now is to facilitate discourse and to leave the flow of information unimpeded. Time will humble us all.


This perspective is ripe for being manipulated. Use critical thinking and learn to sit with uncertainty.


> Use critical thinking and learn to sit with uncertainty.

Maybe tell that to the guy in the white house. I'm tired of being held to much higher standards than that person. There are limits.


Indeed. I wonder who profits the most from vilifying RFK. ;)


Consider your own ignorance. It is impossible to be certain of anything because of unknown unknowns. You merely assume they are lying, but you could never prove that.

A righteous condemnation with no proof and all feelings is exactly the soil the grows facism.

Good point. In fact, I can't even prove that America exists. I can't prove that you're real person, or that I'm typing on a computer, or that I even exist. My own eyes could be deceiving me. I am condemned to a universe full of impenetrable doubt.

I should probably just ignore reason and logic, and instead spend my days shivering and alone, unable to interact with a world where so much is forever unknowable.

Of course, you can't prove that I can't prove that grepfru_it is lying, so really it would be you who should consider your own ignorance. I assume that a sage like yourself has already internalized your own advice and that you strictly avoid engaging in news or debate, since all externalities are unproveable. Right?


Point 4 seems to have been made by you, not the article.


I guess maybe it depends on how you read it? To me, it read like

> This sound is often attributed to X. But <some component of X> doesn't make sound that humans can here.

The "people say it's this, but actually ..." reads, to me, like they're saying it's _not_ this. Which was point 4.


Unity is currently redesigning their engine from the ground up using an ECS architecture. They're calling it DOTS or Entities.


For the love of god, read the damn article before commenting.


I don't see any issues with what you've described. If I were you I'd challenge the interpretation that not reading every single thing you find interesting is a bad thing.

The fact is there will always be too much for anyone to do. It might help to think about the issue you're having like how you think about FOMO.
