Can everyone stop beating around the bush now? Can we agree to call a spade a spade? This is fascism. They are restricting the movements of the demonized outgroup (in this case, non-binary and intersex people) using the state apparatus. Thi

I agree. Good documentation (nearly) fully specifies program behavior, and doing so with just examples is impractical or impossible.

My understanding is that it's neither impractical nor genuinely difficult, it's just that the "logging every step" approach provides explanations of their "reasoning" that are completely meaningless to us, as h

Governments are hierarchical, and they can (and should) be held responsible for their actions. The population of Palestine, taken as a whole, is not. If you had said "the Hamas state is savage and murderous" that wouldn't hav

You sound almost exactly like Trump talking about Mexicans. When you dismiss an entire people as murderers, rapists, and savages, something's gone wrong with how you understand the world. I'm sure that many many Palestinians hate

Historically, forced mass migrations are usually both a mechanism and an ideological cover for genocide. People like you are an integral part of these genocides by legitimizing their actions with statements like "moving people is not g

As they say, every exponential is a sigmoid in disguise. I think the exponential phase of growth for LLM architectures is drawing to a close, and fundamentally new architectures will be necessary for meaningful advances. I'm also not c

Thanks, but we still need better data on births for this argument to hold any water. Additionally, if you want to include the segment of the population that has fled, you will also need data on the birth/death rates for that segment. I

No, that's not what I said. Once again, you are not being careful with your words, and as a result what you say has only a tenuous relationship to the truth. Yes, you acknowledged your mistake, yet you still insisted upon that incorrec

Yes, you acknowledged the correction elsewhere. However, when questioned about the 6.6% figure by another user, you literally just replied "I was quoting a fact". Perhaps you meant the fact about the number of exits to Egypt, but

I think @chaps was quite justified in defining "mention", given that you just talked about 10/7 and then immediately insisted you never mentioned 10/7. That suggests that you either don't know what "mention&quo

Thank you for reading! If nothing else, it's been a very interesting lesson in the state of online media literacy.

You keep insisting on that 6.6% figure, but you have yet to provide a single source that supports it. You made that calculation yourself, based on a statistic that you already admitted doesn't mean what you thought it meant, and doesn&

Thank you for providing sources. I do find it interesting that the Washington Institute report concludes by saying that the Gaza Health Ministry's list of deaths is generally considered accurate, and that list currently includes more t

by konmok 1y ago
Once again: do you have sources for any of this? Yes, there were more violent deaths at the start of the war, but how much more ? @richardfeynman did provide quotes for his birth rate claims, but as I already mentioned, those quotes appe

by konmok 1y ago
Yes, it's hard to pinpoint an exact figure, but you have provided no evidence with which to obtain even a ballpark estimate. I don't think the real figure would be "slightly lower" than 6.6%, I think it would be much low

Thanks for providing sources! They estimate 180 giving birth every day, but over what time frame? Without a time frame, it's not really possible to estimate the total born. As for the 60k count, every single source I have found suggest

by konmok 1y ago
Thank you for providing a source! That data certainly contradicts @richardfeynman's claim, in that it suggests a shrinking population. Additionally, since total deaths will be greatly in excess of violent deaths, I would say it suggest

No, I really can't find any documents like that. Could you post a URL to the document you're referring to? Additionally, your claim of 60,000 deaths is an extreme underestimate. The dataset provided by data.techforpalestine.org li

I'm not trying to cast shade, just trying to critically analyze information. Again, could you provide a source for that figure of 6.6% of Gazans "travelling abroad" each year? As I previously mentioned, that article does not

It's interesting that the article directly contradicts your own takeaway: "In 2022, more people were let out of Gaza; however, their movement remained the exception rather than the rule, with the vast majority of residents, over 2

Source? Also, even if this is true, it doesn't actually negate claims of genocide. That is still a colossal number of deaths, and conditions in Gaza are rapidly worsening to the point that few of those born will survive.

Source? Also, is that "travelled abroad" or "decided escaping persecution was worth losing their home, never to return"?

This post got flagged and hidden, but I vouched for it because I think it's more interesting than just another political take. It's a historical record of a brilliant academic (one who I once followed and respected) slowly being p
