I'm not familiar with Kinnett other than this meme, but this one is a homerun.
in this age of press acquiescence to state propaganda, please remember that rubber coated bullets are ACTUAL bullets, a powder actuated heavy metal projectile with a "rubber" coating to reduce penetrating trauma and fragmentation *only*. in many cases they will have a higher mass than the equivalent "non coated" munition. and mass x speed something something. you ever been hit in the head with a hammer? do you think it would be less violent if the hammer was coated in plastic?
they're not BBs or squash balls
they're designed to maim with *reduced* lethality
they will still ruin your life, or potentially even end it, even if it takes you weeks or months to succumb
and they will be deployed indiscriminately, and used for punishment and compliance, when realistically they should not be used in any situation where a real bullet would not be "justified" anyway. you can't (legally) shoot people for standing around (yet). but... that's what's happening.

"Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses is a classic anthem that captures the essence of rock 'n' roll with its electrifying guitar riffs and powerful lyrics. The song transports listeners to a place of freedom and nostalgia, making it a timeless favourite among fans of the genre.
Lyrics:
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)
Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case, so buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Rags and riches, or so they say, you gotta
Keep pushing for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see
Tell me, who you're gonna believe?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Captain America's been torn apart now
He's a court jester with a broken heart
He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"
I must be losin' my mind, "Are you blind?"
"I've seen it all a million times"
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Home
I wanna go, I wanna know
I want you, please, take me home
I wanna see how good it can be
I want you, please, take me home
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Take me down, ooh yeah, spin me 'round
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see how good it can be
I want you, please, take me home
I wanna see how good it can be
Oh, oh, take me home
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
I want you, please, take me home (I want you, I want you, take me home)

DÜŞMAN HUKUKU.
Kadir Dağhan
Hukukun evrenselliği tüm bireyler, toplumlar için geçerli olması gereken bir kavramdır.
Ne yazık ki sadece söylem olarak vardır.
Hukuku belirleyen her zaman muktedirler olmuş ve oluyor ne yazık ki.
Örneğin son günlerde servis edilen bazı görüntüler var.
Gereksiz, anlamsız, hukuksuz, haksız ya da hukuki, haklı, gerekli gerekçelerle de olsa elleri kelepçeli insanların görüntüleri servis ediliyor.
Bu nedenlerle de bazı kesimlerce bir deyim kullanılıyor sıklıkla.
- Düşman Hukuku.-
Tepkilerin haklılığı, haksızlığını bir yana..
Kendi adıma merak ediyor ve de her zaman olduğu gibi dostça sormak istiyorum.
Bir asırdır bu coğrafyada hangi gün uygulanmadı bu düşman hukuku denilen garabet?
Veya ne zaman uygulandı yurttaş, adil, dost hukuku?
Dillerine, kimliklerine sahip çıkmak isteyenler için hangi hukuk söz konusu oldu?
Hangi gün adaletin terazisi şaşmadı?
Yasaklara, baskılara, katliamlara, bilumum hukuksuzluklara karşı çıkanlara uygulanan hukuk dost muydu, düşman mıydı, evrensel kurallar gereği miydi?
Bir asırdır değişmeden uygulanan düşman hukukunun görülmesi için mutlaka kendilerine mi dokunulması gerekiyordu?
Oysaki hukuk bu.
Dostu, düşmanı, yandaşı, karşıtı için farklı olmaz.
Ve de gün gelir, en çok da keyfi uygulayanlara lazım olur.
Sadece kendilerine dokunulduğunda bağırmanın, çağırmanın karşılığı da olmuyor, anlamı da.
Her zaman hukuktan, adaletten, eşitlikten yana olan zelal yüreklere tek değil, tüm dillerden SELAM OLSUN.

#UN / ILO formally recognises Palestine
#ILO recognizes Palestine as observer state. The decision aligns with the UN resolution calling for expanded participation rights for Palestine in UN agencies, strengthening the ability of Palestinian representatives to defend workers' rights and contribute to ILO discussions.
The ITUC calls for urgent action, including a ceasefire in #Gaza, release of hostages, humanitarian access, and support for the recognition of Palestine.

#GazaGenocide
In a significant decision, the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization (ILO) has formally recognised Palestine as a state, shifting its status from a ‘liberation movement' to a ‘non-member observer state' within the organisation.www.ituc-csi.org
War and occupation / International Labour Organization’s 2025 report on the situation of workers in the occupied Arab territories
The document examines the circumstances facing Palestinian workers since #Israel started its war on #Gaza (which is classified by experts as #genocide.)
Gaza:
The economy has collapsed almost entirely, with 83% contraction in output by 2024. Most businesses and workplaces have been destroyed. In the fourth quarter of 2024, unemployment reached 69% while labour force participation fell to just 30%. Employment has been reduced to primarily public services, humanitarian aid work, and informal trading.
Occupied West Bank:
While less severely impacted than Gaza, the West Bank experienced significant economic disruption. About 155,000 jobs were lost since October 2023, including approximately 140,000 positions in #Israel and settlements. Unemployment rose from 16.5% to 31.4%.
Illegal Settlement Expansion:
The report documents accelerated settlement activity in 2024, with 60 new outposts established (double the previous year) and plans for nearly 10,000 new housing units in settlements advanced.
Movement Restrictions:
Palestinians face 849 permanent or intermittent obstacles controlling movement, severely hampering access to workplaces and markets.
Proposed Recovery Agenda:
The report concludes with a 10-point agenda for Palestinian economic recovery, emphasizing:
- Employment-intensive reconstruction
- Restoration of agriculture, healthcare, and education
- Private sector support
- Women’s economic empowerment
- Social protection expansion
- Child labor prevention
- Labour governance strengthening
- Facilitation of pension payments
- Reopening Israeli labor market access
- Lifting movement restrictions
The report concludes that meaningful recovery requires cessation of violence, release of hostages, and ultimately a political resolution based on the two-state solution.

A newly emergent faction in Syria, the Islamic Resistance Front, has taken responsibility for launching rockets toward the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, marking a significant turn in the country’s internal and regional dynamics.
The group confirmed its involvement in Tuesday’s attack through a statement issued Wednesday evening by its military spokesperson, Abu al-Qassem.
“The revolution in Syria has deviated from its path and now calls for normalization with Israel,” Abu al-Qassem stated, denouncing what he described as the betrayal of Syria’s original revolutionary goals.
He issued a warning to Tel Aviv, “You are facing Syrian wrath that can only be extinguished by blood.”
The salvo, which reportedly involved two Grad-type rockets, triggered sirens in the southern Golan region and was followed by the sound of explosions, according to local sources.
Meanwhile, Syria’s transitional government offered a cautious response. The Foreign Ministry said it could not verify whether the reported missile fire into Israeli-occupied territory had occurred, asserting that Syria does not and will not pose a threat to any regional party.
Mahmoud Muwaldi, head of the Islamic Resistance Front’s political bureau, clarified the group’s stance: “We are in opposition to the de facto authority in Damascus,” he said, signaling a clear break from the Syrian regime.
He added that Tuesday’s action was a message to “Israel”, stating, “We are present. We promise to plant fire beneath its feet if it dares to penetrate Syrian territory.”
Muwaldi added that the group does not coordinate with any other armed factions currently operating within Syria, but claimed that several militias have disbanded and joined the Front.
He framed the organization’s mission as dual: confronting foreign occupation while also laying the groundwork for a new Syrian state.
“We speak for the silent majority inside Syria, across all segments of society,” he declared.

Disgusting that Israel govt has not been made to understand, has not been punished and sanctioned for the #Genocide and still thinks it can continue its war crimes on the basis of Oct 7 attack.
FFS Israel even showing "a video of 7 Oct" to Thunberg and the #FreedomFlottilla crew: do they think this will somehow stop us fighting against genocide?

mixed feelings about them setting all the waymo driverless taxis on fire. i really don't like driverless cars on the road and especially not trucks. machines just aren't that smart yet. i don't trust them
"Presented to you in the form of unedited screenshots, the following is a 'conversation' I had with Chat GPT upon asking whether it could help me choose several of my own essays to link in a query letter I intended to send to an agent."
"What ultimately transpired is the closest thing to a personal episode of Black Mirror I hope to experience in this lifetime."
Spoiler: Amanda Guinzburg asks ChatGPT to help her select a couple of her own essays to send to an agent, as described, but ChatGPT pretends to read them, without actually reading them, then lies about it -- ChatGPT liar liar pants on fire. But what gets really creepy is how staggeringly apologetic ChatGPT gets. I guess "reinforcement learning with human feedback" can lead to "sycophancy" and what's a "sycophantic" chatbot to do when it gets caught in its own self-contradictions?

Ok, but what we are speakin here, it's simply a matter of executin a simple task prompted to the bot. Read a file. It could analyze thousands of data in the sec, but it is unable to simply warn of its failure to access the file... And keep lying about it.
I don't get it, as it is such a basic feature of operatin system management.
Wait, it’s supposed to the smartest dude on earth
Ha. That's the hype. LLMs are not dudes, though. Like @Will says.
They can be extremely smart, though. There are models now that can be given PhD level math problems and can come up with solutions to a decent percentage of them.
There are a lot of tricks that go into that, not just the predictive "pretraining" (remember the "GPT" in "ChatGPT" stands for "generative pretrained transformer") and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) that I was describing earlier, but "chain-of-thought" reasoning systems where the model is allowed to talk to itself in an internal monologue (this used to be done with prompting to try to get the model to "think the problem through step by step" but has now been incorporated directly into the models themselves).
These tests are done with problems that are small and self-contained enough to fit the whole thing in the model's context window. There's still no guarantee if it's told to read a link, it'll follow the link and read the contents at the other end, er acknowledge its incapacity to follow the link.

in reply to Yogthos • • •Yes, I know, and environment recognition can be done in a more... flexible way, but we need to look at what we call AI.
For example, automatic parking on cars inevitably has an adaptive component, but we can be sure that it won't do anything stupid either (and for example, Tesla chose to go with full machine learning on it, and they gives much worse results than the competition).
Agriculture was already using semi-automated vehicles, notably via very precise GNSS positioning, for example (and besides, I'm not convinced by a tractor without a cockpit, having a supervisor seems to me to be preferable no matter what level of automation you reach, except in some special cases (subways in particular, since they have a very controlled environment, but then you don’t need any kind of AI)).
In short, AI as it is generally referred to today is not relevant here, in my opinion. Then again, maybe it's a completely different type of AI that's relevant in this case, but that's not really the point (and it's been around a lot longer, and most people don’t complain about it).
That said, I interpreted your message as “these new AIs can have a relevant use like here", but perhaps it meant “there are other types of AIs that shouldn't be mixed up with the ones they're trying to sell us everywhere, and which aren't to be thrown away”, in which case we agree and I'm sorry for the off-topic.
