No need to wait. Here's their statement: https://www.anera.org/press/anera-convoy-attacked-en-route-to-emirati-red-crescent-hospital-four-killed/

No Anera staff were harmed, though one Anera employee, who was in the second vehicle, witnessed the incident at close range.

Despite this attack, the remainder of the convoy continued its mission and successfully delivered the critical aid to the hospital. Anera has coordinated with the United Arab Emirates 24 prior shipments for the Emirati Red Crescent Hospital since May.

I don't see an easy way to accomplish this without either pulling in the full text of every article over some period and running something like paragraph/doc/site vectors and then clustering by site vector.

That's putting a lot of faith into unsupervised learning, and it's probably just as likely to pick up on stylistic conventions like byline and date formats as it is to cluster by some common thematic pattern like political leaning.

Considering that Hamas are holding bodies and hostages and demanding an end to the war in exchange for releasing the hostages, changes to that situation are quite relevant.

I thought of something: does this count as him having played a single game that is both a loss and a win? Or as playing in two games?

Some poor soul is going to try to do data validation and figure out that the number of wins plus the number of losses does not equal the number of games played, and it's 100% legit.

Does that mean the engagement band is just a semiring?

They are less pro-Hamas or even pro-Palestinian so much as they are just anti-Israel.

Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?

Lemmy doesn't have karma farming because it doesn't have karma.

Accounts earn their reputation based on name recognition, not some artificial score.

Improvements to automod, such as checking for opinion articles by regex (and building up that list). Or automatically marking/linking duplicate posts.

Also, regex scanning of comments to autoban would be useful for moderation well outside of the news/politics realm.

Most of the changes I'd like to see would require major changes to Lemmy though. Things like rate limiting posts/comments/votes, and allowing complex conditions for using those quotas. Also more nuanced moderation such as unlisting a post/comment (or potentially rehoming them).

I needed a laugh. Thank you.

Deif is dead. Haniyeh is dead. Something like 40% of all the senior leadership is dead.

The hostages aren't keeping them alive, they're putting them in the crosshairs.

Do you have a copy of the bridging proposal? I haven't seen any actual text.
