Die @Bundesregierung hält sich beim Thema Lieferungen von #Material und #Waffen an #Israel bedeckt.

@Geri hat heute allerdings einen Link auf eine interessante Analyse von @salisburyamnesty gepostet, die die offizielle Importstatistik von Israel auf Lieferungen aus #UK untersucht. Die Methodik ist auf S.3 des Dokuments beschrieben:

salisburyai.com/wp-content/upl…

Die aktuelle Statistik seit Jahresbeginn bis Stichtag Ende Juni lässt sich hier herunterladen:
data.gov.il/dataset/customs_im…

Filtert man nach den Kriterien der Analyse, aber für #Deutschland, dann finden sich durchgängig, bis Ende Juni 2025 insgesamt gut 160 Lieferungen: #Waffen und #Munition, Teile für Panzer oder gepanzerte Kampffahrzeuge, und Flugzeugteile. Letztere kann ich mangels Datenbasis nicht eindeutig einer militärischen oder zivilen Nutzung zurechnen.

@jhavok Makes me think of this @pluralistic quote from a few days back:

Trump's lifelong strategy has been to race across a succession of rivers on the backs of alligators without losing a leg. He is the undisputed all-time historical champion of this bizarre sport, but no one can win that race forever, and your first loss is a career-ender.

Trump, the happy fool. Ok, putting tariffs on products you make at home, that might still fly… But slapping tariffs on resources that aren’t even on your soil? A mineral resource isn’t something you just invent or build — you gotta have it, damn it! Wow, what a genius! In reality, it’s just a hidden tax to fleece your own citizens. Pure masterpiece, really.

But hey, the useful supporters? They gobble that up like all-you-can-eat burgers. The true cousins of the idiots from Idiocracy: they clap like crazy but don’t get a damn thing.

I just tried out the new Dia browser from the creators of Arc. While Arc wasn't my favorite, I was curious about Dia, despite not being a fan of hyper-AI features. I wanted to explore the extremes, but honestly, it left me puzzled. How do people use it effectively? This doesn't seem like the right approach for how a browser should function, or maybe it just doesn't work for most users. We tend to prefer browsers that know less about us, rather than those that know everything, like Dia does. Just my thoughts after trying it out for a few hours. So, no... thanks #Diabrowser

Question About Bash Command Grouping Behavior in Script vs CLI

Question for you all.

I was working on a bash script and working out some logic for command chaining and grouping for executing different functions in my script based on the return status of other functions.

I know you can group commands with (), which spawns a subshell, and within the grouping you can chain with ;, &&, and ||.

I also know that you can group commands with {}, but, within the curly braces you can only separate commands with ;.

EDIT: the above statement of the curly braces only allowing ; is incorrect. I misunderstood what I had read. @SheeEttin@lemmy.zip pointed out my mistake.

The requirement is that the list of commands in the curly braces needs to be terminated with a semicolon or a newline character, and in the script, I unknowingly was meeting the rules by using the newlines to make the code easier to read for myself.

END EDIT:

In the script, for readability I did group the commands across lines kind of like a function.

The script is pretty simple. I created a few functions with echo commands to test the logic. the script asks for input of foo or bar. The first function has an if, and if the input is foo, it executes. If it's bar it returns 1.

The return of 1 triggers the or (||) and executes the second command group.

The idea was, if the user inputs foo, the first group triggers printing foo baz to stdout. If the user inputs bar, the foo function returns 1, the baz function does not execute, the or is triggered, and bar but is printed to stdout

Here's the script (which executes as described):

Can anyone explain why I'm able to group with curly braces and still use && inside them?

(Also, the reason I want to use the curly braces is I don't want to spawn a subshell. I want variable persistence in the current shell)

\#! /usr/bin/bash

# BEGIN FUNCTIONS #

foo () {

    if [[ "${input}" = foo ]]; then
        echo "foo"
        return 0
    else
        return 1
    fi

}

bar () {

    echo "bar"

}

baz () {

    echo "baz"

}

but () {

    echo "but"

}

# END FUNCTIONS #

read -p "foo or bar? " input

{
    foo && 
    baz
} ||

    {
        bar &&
        but
    }

Ah! I misinterpreted what I read! I found that exact same reference link when looking into this and I misinterpreted this:

The semicolon (or newline) following list is required


to mean that it required the semicolon as the command separator. That explains why my script works. The newline closes each group, and the other operators are allowed, the list just needs to be closed. Thank you!

My environment is just my homelab. Ubuntu server on my server, Arch (btw) on my laptop. So I could go with any language , but right now I'm choosing Bash. I know stuff I'm doing would probably be easier in a different language, and maybe I'm a glutton for punishment. I just want to get really good with Bash.

The logic is Bash is gonna be available on just about any computing environment I encounter (linux especially, but even Windows with WSL and zsh on macOS (which I know is different, but still very similar). But really, I am just enjoying the hell out of learning and scripting with Bash. I'll move on to Python or something someday.

Why Facts Don’t Change Minds in the Culture Wars—Structure Does

Why do facts bounce off some people? It’s not about logic; it’s about structure. Your worldview isn’t a list of opinions—it's a living network. And right now, it's at war.

Yes, it's evil that employers--even those owned by Whites--will let you go for speaking pro-White points.

It is also childishly stupid--essentially asking to be hit without a trade-off of having curated any benefit--to go on Jubilee, smirk, make yourself look like a dumbass to an unmoved audience of degenerates who now have your name and face.
This isn't akin to the "I was protecting my child and possessions in a park, and yes I will call them a nigger for being a nigger" situation. This is waltzing to their trench (out of view of anyone who would be convinced anyway) and farting and asking for resources now that your ass is on fire.

Christ spoke in parables to the general crowd (for numerous reasons) and ran to the mountains after speaking, frequently.
We are not greater than Christ.
We have anonymity as our protection when speaking to the general crowd, allowing us straight-talk rather than parables--rather than needing parables for plausible deniability. And we still have parables as a method for irl group talk--but never for an audience that DOES NOT INCLUDE people that would hear you. No benefit.

really interesting to read @nullagent thread on LORA/ #meshtastic vs his preferred #meshcore. I'm also kinda surprised meshtastic uses the MAC as the identity, and if meshcore uses an encryption key that is really a huge improvement (decouples identity from radio). anyway I'll check out what's up on meshcore down here in LA.

This is a subtoot and should probably be a blog post. But basically some techbros are re-inventing mesh radios (badly). Low cost, developer friendly mesh radios have kinda been going in circles for decades.

@tomjennings
There's a new "routing" feature for direct messaging, and a public key crypto system for DMs. I still don't like the MAC as identity rather than crypto-key as identity, but looking at the meshcore map, there's like ~10 nodes in all of SoCal... so it's not really an option.

If you're primarily interested in "group channels" rather than DMs the two seem very similar. I guess meshtastic even has a store-and forward system?

This young man's driver side window did not work.

So when he couldn't open it on demand the cops just kept escalating.

Obviously he was scared to try and open his driver side door because he didn't want that to be seen as a threat to the cops.

So he sat patiently, opened his passenger side window and tried to explain it to the cops partner who was on that side.

They simply refused to believe he couldn't open his window and busted it out instead.

I think the score is one CBP agent shot dead shortly after the Inauguration, one in early July with a minor gunshot wound, and now this case with one CPB agent shot in the cheek. Also a cop shot in the neck in the Texas incident. That's 4 total plus one CEO and two Israeli Embassy staffers shot dead since the election, plus one raid that blew up with shots fired at ICE but nobody hit.

Even with the high-ups this is not "dozens" unless ICE is getting shot at during their raids and not talking about it

#future #AI #pseudo #skynet

The developers at artificial intelligence (AI) firm Anthropic asked their latest creation, Claude Opus 4, to assist a fictional company.

In this scenario, Claude had access to all of the company’s emails. Some revealed that it was about to be shut down and replaced. Others contained more personal information, such as the fact that the engineer in charge of this operation was having an extramarital affair.

During certain tests, Claude attempted to threaten the fictional engineer with exposing the secret relationship if the shutdown went ahead.

According to a report published by Anthropic last May, Claude was particularly prone to blackmail when emails suggested that its replacement would not share the same values or principles.

#avenir #ai #pseudo #skynet #en #devenir

Les développeurs de la firme d’intelligence artificielle (IA) Anthropic ont demandé à leur toute dernière création, Claude Opus 4, d’assister une entreprise fictive.

Dans ce scénario, Claude avait accès à tous les courriels de l’entreprise. Certains révélaient qu’il allait bientôt être débranché et remplacé. D’autres contenaient des informations plus personnelles, comme le fait que l’ingénieur chargé de cette opération entretenait une liaison extraconjugale.

Lors de certains tests, Claude a tenté de menacer cet ingénieur fictif de dévoiler sa relation secrète s’il poursuivait le processus de débranchement.

Selon un rapport d’Anthropic publié en mai dernier, Claude se montrait particulièrement enclin au chantage lorsque les courriels laissaient entendre que son remplaçant ne partagerait pas les mêmes valeurs ou principes que lui.

AI is fundamentally, irrevocably untrustworthy. It makes errors that it doesn't detect (because it didn't actually "read" the entire trove of text) and it generates responses that are "good enough," meaning they're not 100% accurate, but they have the superficial appearance of being comprehensive and therefore acceptable.

...

These programs are text / content prediction engines; they don't actually "know" or "understand" anything. They can't tell the difference between a consequential error and a "who cares" error.

...

AI fails at tasks where accuracy must be absolute to create value. lacking this, it's not just worthless, it's counter-productive and even harmful, creating liabilities far more consequential than the initial errors.
