I am often baffled by this reasoning: A attacks B. A colonizes, kills, occupies, humiliates, etc. B. B swears to destroy A. All of a sudden, it becomes legitimate for A to commit all those crimes cause "hypothetically", B would do worse if they could.

It’s just proportional to the horrors it commits. Don’t blame the judge for your own crimes.

I really do. (personal note: I never know if I should engage with these trolls, given them more visibility, or simply ignore them, risking seeing their propaganda spread)

Good that you mention it, yes Israel rapes, kills, robs, as you say. https://www.btselem.org/publications/202408_welcome_to_hell

Exactly.

Furthermore, it is inherintly colonial as a former colonizer (the brits) gave the land away to new colonizers. Worth noting that Balfour was an antisemite who wanted the Jews out of his country, hence the declaration and the first wave if immigration before 48. Back then, many Palestinians got expelled from their homes, sometimes from the very jewish people they willingly hosted. All under the protection of the british army.

I politely disagree with almost every combination of the words you just used :). 1. hackers could be interested in news other than tech, that’s the very identity of hacking: understanding things in this case, the world politics and conflicts. 2. even then, there are _always_ non-tech entries on HackerNews, de facto. 3. it’s not 4000 old issue (misleading oversimplification). In essence, it’s a century-old colonial project that is entirely inline with the 19th and 20th century European colonialism, with a supremacist idealogy at its core (ethnostate).

I used to think that it’s beneficial to separate tech from politics but I’m convinced now that it’s a delusional stance. Politics is in tech whether we like it or not, CEOs have their political agenda and ideologies and often talk about them openly, their products directly impact people’s lives, some change the entire society. In the case of the Gaza genocide, Lavender and Gospel systems are the direct enabelers of such scale of devastation. I think it’s far from being off-topic. In a nutshell, no politics is itself a political opinion (that happens to favor the dominant party).

How come every time the Israeli crimes are featured in HN, the corresponding article is flagged?

I’m absolutely baffled by Germans at this point. I’ve been taking to many Germans in the beginning of the genocide and the major feedback I got was « given what we did to the Jews… we can’t criticize Israel ». Now almost two years after, countless of massive crimes and violated international laws later, I really can’t fathom how people are not outside shouting to their government to stop supporting this evil state (which has nothing to do with Judaism as many courageous Jews are currently pointing out). This is deep corruption at the state level and, likely, deep racism at the population level. Dehumanizing the Palestinians is the main explanation for the silent majority in Germany, and not without irony: yesterday they dehumanized the Jews, and instead of learning a general lesson, they keep dehumanizing other semites in the name of their past crimes.

Feels like the most valuable skill to have as a programmer in times of Claude Code is that of carefully reading spec documentation and having an acute sense of critical thinking when reviewing code.

Of course. Here is a corrected version of your text that fixes the grammar and typos while keeping the colloquial tone:

I'd like to offer a less skeptical view on this, contrary to what I've read here so far. LLMs that act (a.k.a. agents) bring a whole lot of new security and privacy issues. If we were already heading toward a privacy dystopia (with trackers, centralized services, etc.), agents could take that to a whole new level.

That's why I can only cheer when I see a different path where agents are run locally (by the way, Hugging Face has already published a couple of spaces demonstrating that). As a plus, because they're small, their environmental footprint will also be smaller (although, admittedly, I can also see the Jevons Paradox possibly happening here too).

> I hope that, to whatever extent this is happening, it's not widespread, and anyone committing war crimes is very visibly and publicly tried in court.

Sorry but you’re either dishonest or totally delusional. Tens of thousands of children murdered, nobody even thinks of putting a stop on this, and you say « it’s not widespread ». What?

There has been so so many atrocities, even before Oct 7th committed by both the Israeli army and armed settlers in the West Bank. There is never, NEVER, anyone being held accountable. Snipers shoot kids on the beach? All good. Torture and rape in your prisons? Fine.

Dude, you should fix your society. You are simply heading towards your own destruction, morally, on the side of public sympathy, and merely as people capable of living with other people peacefully.

edit: minor typo.
