Ur is used in German a lot to signify something being ancient or the origin.

Großvater means grandfather. Urgroßvater means great-grandfather.

Ursuppe - Primordial soup

Urknall - Big Bang

Ursprung - Origin

English uses it as a loan word and prefix.

Using licenses to take a political stance is a valid idea. It’s even worthwhile, if there’s little uptake for it. Signaling opposition even if it’s symbolic only, has some value.

An aggressively scraping AI company could easily ignore it and it would be hard to prove a violation.

Thank you. Sounds like good news.

True, but training is one-off. And as you say, a factor 100x less costs with this new model. Therefore NVidia just saw 99% of their expected future demand for AI chips evaporate

It might also lead to 100x more power to train new models.

female run office spaces

The worst places I have worked at had female leadership and majority women employees. The gossip and bullying was off the scale. Older ladies harassing young men was a daily occurrence and laughed at.

At least you can shift the blame.

Soulver is the best calculator on my Mac and has been for more than a decade now.

You pay for the support.

It’s just a rip off scam.

I would prefer nobody died or have to leave their home in this region.

Arabs are pretty different. I was talking about Jordan specifically.

I didn’t want to touch on the intent question

Intent is essential for genocide. Dolus specialis, look it up.

Trump

Reportedly Trump has been already influential in bringing about the current ceasefire and hostage exchange. There’s potential for the situation to change significantly. Annexation of parts of the West Bank is a possibility.

Netanyahu wants to stay in power and out of prison. At the moment that means appeasing the extremists. He will likely not survive the upcoming Knesset investigation into October 7th politically.

Refugees leaving a warzone is genocide?

Most of the millions of Palestinian refugees living in Jordan were born in Jordan. They are descendants of refugees from 1948 and 1967. They live in regular housing. The so called Palestinian refugee camps ins Jordan look and operate like normal towns.

To ask them to take on anyone else is beyond a joke

Maybe the people of Gaza should be asked what they want. I’m sure some would prefer living in Jordan.

The identity of German and German nationalism are older than 1871. German nationalism started around 1770, but even before that the HRE ruled mostly over German speaking people and created some shared identity.

A man with Lebanese ancestry and a Jewish woman held speeches at this rally as well.

Not giving civilians the chance to flee the warzone during a war is unique to this war. In any other war, civilians would have fled the country until the war is over.

Those who could afford to pay the necessary bribes to Egypt left. Most were forced to stay.

Jordan is already majority Palestinian. It even used to be part of the British Mandate for Palestine. Culture and language in Jordan are very close to Palestine in general.

Jordan already has a majority Palestinian population. I don’t think intent to destroy fits, so it’s not genocide.

Forced displacement and ethnic cleansing can be crimes against humanity though.

Giving Gazans the option to relocate to Jordan voluntarily is not a crime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide#International_law_scholars

the German legal scholar Stefan Talmon told Süddeutsche Zeitung that Israel was not committing genocide in Gaza, but conceded that Israel had committed war crimes.[356] International law professor Sabine Swoboda also argued that although Israel may have broken international law, it had not committed genocide because its intent was not genocidal.[357] In January 2024, lawyer Eugene Kontorovich called the genocide allegations "absolutely absurd" and a "farce", and called for Israel to immediately end its acceptance of the ICJ's jurisdiction in response to South Africa's case.[358] In an August 2024 op-ed in the New York Daily News, lawyer Eli Rosenbaum wrote that Israel's actions in Gaza are not genocidal

The article has of course other voices as well.

The article also cites people with „danger of genocide“ or war crimes. Neither of which is actually genocide.

frankly anyone who has seen what Israel is doing

For something to qualify as genocide, the special intent „dolus specialis“ is a key requirement. Killing people is not sufficient.

An issue is that Amnesty International and Ireland expanded the definition of genocide for the case of Gaza specifically.

Regardless if it qualifies as genocide or not, the situation is terrible.

people will prefix the value with “PRO#” or “#”

Sanitizing input afterwards is a good practice and trivial for these cases. For data with a known format like here, you should always strip for example spaces in any case.

Writing three lines of extra to allow more flexible input is easy and will make it much more user friendly. Far easier to make a software more intelligent than educate and train all users.
