I wonder if the coordinates for the school were passed to US intel on purpose to have US deeper entrenched into a war with Iran.. Who would benefit from this?

I 100% believe this was done by somebody inside our administration. It’s totally in character for them. Look at what they do to immigrants and our own citizens. They intentionally target children.

But if you wanna look externally, you can’t rule out Israel. They have intentionally bombed a school to kill children in the past, well before Gaza.

Before you take out your pitch fork, remember what the US did in Vietnam. Ugly stuff happens in ideological wars. It is not controversial to say Israel has done similar things.

Also, someone in our very pro-Israel administration claimed they got us into this war. Israel manipulating an ally is completely unsurprising.

But it doesn’t stop at Israel. I think every single ally we have in the Middle East would do the same thing. Everyone they’re fighting already does.

I think you mean if AI was never trained on science fiction, would it ever be capable to produce science fiction and the answer is probably not. At least LLMs need a huge body of training to produce derivatives

Aaaaaad... flagged.

Similarly in Romania, though it is not a pie, "Mancare de Urzici" some kidn of mash, young nettles are boiled, puréed and cooked into a sort of spinach-like mash. I remember my grandmother preparing this quite often during the warm months.

Sounds a lot like "Stoemp", from Belgium. Spinach and carrot are classic, but any veggie works. Funny how very similar dishes can be found across the world under different names.

I think this is is still somewhat common, though it's definitely a home-only meal. You still find fresh nettles for sale in markets in Bucharest every spring. I for one hate the smell and taste, but my parents and grandma eat some every year.

You say that as if Amazon Alexa was some kind of amazing product. t succeeded because it has Amazon backing and it's kindof a crappy product.

All voice assistants, at least the original iterations, are only good for 3-4 trivial things people actually want. And they've been around for a decade at this point.

It’s a kitchen timer, music player, and weather sayer.

That’s surely worth the $30 I paid.

I had to laugh, these are literally the only three things my wife and I use ours for. At a stretch, I'll count the multi-room speaker sync as a great value add to the OOTB audio playback. Anything else, forget it.

Don’t forget grocery list add-er!

I will never talk to a computer until they are sentient.

What makes it crappy? I find it really good at voice detection

Now the hammer has mapped your house and knows where all the screws are and is uploading all that to some servers.

Time Square is a tourist trap, an area I always avoided at any cost.

I agree. With no jobs in the area $432 may as well require to work a lot more for lower pay, whatever is available in the area.

>> With no jobs in the area $432 may as well require to work a lot more for lower pay

>> the Stewart’s gas stations in both towns are actively hiring part-time cashiers at $17/hr. These places will let you work just one day a week if you like, and seem to be pretty good about flexible hours

432 / 17 = 25.4 hours a month. A few more hours than that to pay social security, but no income taxes and they would get the Earned Income Tax Credit.

This is classified as satire but it's not much so, we're already halfway there.

The best satire is all too true to life.

Same thing with GPS, I lost the ability to memorize routes.
