  • Officer Abdullah was in the clinic with several colleagues at 9 a.m. when he heard a loud bang, followed by another. The next thing he remembers is being trapped under a concrete wall that had been breached by the impact. His colleagues rushed to his aid when “the plane turned around in mid-air, descended, and began firing bursts of machine-gun fire,” the soldier recalls from a hospital bed in Fallujah, where some of the 23 wounded have been taken. This attack, which resulted in seven deaths, is the worst suffered by Iraqi troops since the United States and Israel began their war against Iran on February 28.

    “This is a U.S. attack because we identified the aircraft, an A-10, which only they use,” General Tahseen, who arrived from Baghdad, told a handful of Iraqi journalists. “Why have the Americans attacked us?”

    Just more senseless atrocities by the USA. Seems to be the norm for them.








  • The link sent Rademacher to a page on WebinarTV.us which featured a full recording of the Zoom recording, an AI-generated video summary of the meeting, “chapters” that sent the viewers to different parts of the meeting, and an AI-generated episode of the “Phil & Amy Show,” in which two AI-generated personalities discuss the content of the call, including quips and rapport between Phil and Amy.

    So their business model is to steal other people’s meetings and add an overlay of shit? I hope it fails miserably for them.




  • It’s not easy, particularly if you developed it and have spent months immersed in all the detail. To emerge from that and imagine coming to it as a new user is pretty hard. I don’t have much to add but I like your advice. I need to rewrite the docs for one of my projects and I’ll be bearing your points in mind.

    Maybe one other point I’d add is: have a clear idea of who you’re writing for, and have different levels and styles of documentation for different types of users. Don’t try to satisfy everyone in the same document. Divide the documentation up by intended readership.




  • From the CNN article:

    In Tehran province, strikes have affected 275 pharmaceutical, health and emergency centers, 498 schools and 17 Red Crescent centers, Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) said, citing Pir Hossein Kolivand, head of Iran’s Red Crescent society.

    The Al Jazeera link has the same number:

    The damaged structures include 62,000 homes, 281 medical centres, hospitals and pharmacies. Additionally, 498 schools had been damaged, as well as 17 rescue points and 12 rescue vehicles.














  • It’s weird that this guy is pushing it with “it’s the law” justifications while claiming it’s so ineffective as to be harmless. If your justification is that it’s ineffective, why not just do nothing? That would be even more ineffective at collecting users’ dates of birth. Why be the guy who does something? He seems oddly eager and strangely confident that all the steps he’s taking to comply preemptively won’t be misused in future, by governments, corporations or hackers.
