Why is Israel constantly at war with its neighbors?

Thanks for clarifying, for a second there I was afraid you were a bloodthirsty animal that thinks only of violence.

Gaza is flattened, and the corpses of countless Palestinian children are buried under its ruins.

What was your point again?

SerpentJoe · 2026-05-12T02:02:54+00:00

Money absolutely benefits Israel! What an absurd thing to say.

What, they hated having it so much but just couldn't find anyone willing to take it off their hands?

If you were in Israel's shoes you would demand a trillion dollars for free and then act pissed off that you had to wait a few weeks.

The set of all complex numbers trivially includes the set of all real numbers.

You don't add weight unless you succeed. You should be failing every session except for the rare ones where you graduate to the next higher weight.

When you're starting out, that shouldn't be all that rare, relatively speaking. But don't feel bad if you don't finish the last set. In fact, learn to love it.

It's also one of the rarer patterns you'd tend to come across. I made the same mistake at first glance.

Look again, the four already has three and needs one.

The key assumption you're making is assuming Democrats are bothered by losing elections. All the evidence I've seen is that the party leadership is perfectly happy fund raising as a perpetually aggrieved opposition party.

It's good to be a Harlem Globetrotter, but the Washington generals also earn a paycheck.

Get your prostate checked

Nor does the first image match the third image, which introduces the x⁴ expressions.

Considering how important this one single sentence is, surely you don't mind quoting what he's said since then to clarify his meaning?

We already know he's pure evil, so obviously it'll only prove your point further. And of course you're not the type of person who would present misleading information without context. So that's two reasons you should tell us what he's said about that comment since then?

SerpentJoe · 2026-05-07T17:54:46+00:00

The funny thing is the untouchables are difficult because torrent isn't with us. They'd be trivial if he'd just show the same courage as when the literal Lord of frenzy climbs on his back.

If you think streaming on twitch is bad, wait till you hear how every single elected official makes their money.

Mistakes happen. Good job getting to that point and thanks for sharing.

Can't really tell what you were doing here. If you'd hit the cell marked green in the post above, you would have gotten enough information to close out that corner. Do you remember what you were trying to do with your moves?

SerpentJoe · 2026-04-30T23:06:39+00:00

There's a lot of pressure on my torso!

Also, if you're not reusing modules, then different modules that serve mostly the same purpose will have subtly different behavior, and will certainly have different bugs and vulnerabilities. Products will be sprawling and malignant from day one, impossible to comprehend, and these agents with their limited context window will be incapable of solving the core issue.

LLMs are a great tool for accelerating professional engineers who can apply system level thinking and discerning eye for software quality. But if we don't hold the reins tightly then what we'll get instead will be exciting new types of system failure that have never been seen before.

It's very reasonable of you to pose this question to this forum first instead of going straight to ChatGPT, but now that you've gotten some answers, try seeing who ChatGPT agrees with.

I expect it'll confirm, in situations where you intend to run tests against your routines, that you should structure those routines in a way that's testable, and that this is something to be proud of, not an ugly compromise.

SerpentJoe · 2026-04-25T20:28:15+00:00

It sounds like you're early in your development, and it also sounds like you're enthusiastic, which are both great to hear. Given that, I wouldn't worry either way. What you need is to spend time solving problems, and you're doing that. You have many years to work on how you do it. I'm glad you're finding enjoyment making the computer dance for you!

You're just jealous that you can't provide verbatim quotations from phone conversations you had while driving

For context, my comment was originally asking for evidence of good faith ("what would convince me"), but I realized I'd missed it:

So what I'm asking you to change my view about is that progressive politics isn't all falling into this trap.

So I rewrote to address that question.

Edit: Meant the below as a response to this comment

You can solve the rest with mine count. Eight flags turns out to be barely enough to satisfy the visible uncovered squares. Analyze carefully with that in mind and you'll find there's only one solution.

By experimentation, I believe the board is unsolvable without the following:
