Three people, including a pregnant woman, were killed and eight others injured in fresh Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, medics said.

A third-month pregnant woman lost her life and five other people were injured in an Israeli strike in the Tel Al-Zaatar area in the northern city of Beit Lahia.

Two more people were killed and three others injured in a drone strike in the southern city of Khan Younis, a medical source said.

LLM are not reliable enough to "check facts" this isn't what they are even designed to do well.

What they are designed to do is generate plausible seeming streams of text similar to existing sets of text. That is all.

There is no logic behind that, no verification. It's pure chance.

Do not use them to check facts, please.

Ha, so Germany is obligated under EU rules to encourage non-EU members to execute ICC arrest warrants when a suspect enters its territory, and Palestine is an ICC member, and East Jerusalem has been confirmed by the ICJ to be sovereign Palestinian territory, so…

Technically, Germany is required to actively PUSH the Palestinian Authority to arrest Netanyahu if he goes to East Jerusalem!

Europe is under attack from russia. Why isn’t it fighting back?

Western countries have shied away from reacting to kremlin acts of sabotage and terror.

'Self-host it' is not the answer

From a couple of years ago, but my thinking has not changed.

Self-hosting is brilliant, for many reasons, and also a privilege not available to everyone, or, I suspect, many.

#Cooper and co peddling utter nonsense. #ICC is higher court than any in #UK – the claim is a ruse and the ‘specific process’ would take 30 seconds

When I was born, my parents had a dog named Jamie, and Jamie took me on as a personal responsibility. When I got old enough to walk, if I went outside to play, Jamie would follow me the whole time. If I got near the edges of the yard, Jamie would grab my diaper and sit me on my butt, to let me know I wasn't allowed to leave the yard. She would also alert my parents if she thought I was getting into something, and they weren't paying enough attention. Later Jamie had one beautiful puppy we named JJ, and JJ thought that the diaper pulling was a hilarious game, and would chase me around the yard, and randomly sit me down, no matter where I was in the yard. Poor Jamie had to train both of us, she was such a sweet dog.

Tell me a nice pet story if you have one!

I might be a little crazy, but I like to browse news sites in a virtual machine, without a script or ad blocker. I've started doing this just to be reminded of how the other half lives.

E.g, when was the last time you visited Yahoo News without a script or ad blocker installed? Or MSNBC or WaPo or virtually any major news site w/out these things? It's a full frontal assault of loud videos that launch and play on their own, and pop-ups and pop-unders and 97 pieces of third-party Javascript.

So not only are they typically aiming a firehose of extraneous and distracting stuff at you, each one of those ad relationships offers the possibility of malicious ads running on your machine.

It kind of seems like we don't talk enough about how this aspect of news websites really does turn people off of reading the news from the original source.
