It’s not an airport. You don’t need to announce your departure.

I know.

I did it because I wanted to share my point of view, like you have done here. Both of which are admittedly pointless and time wasting endeavors.

Also, I’ve always been a bit skeptical when someone decides to leave a community because they don’t like a post and/or poster. As if they represent the totality of the sub.

It is not about the post or poster, it is about the lack of action from mods in regards to the post or poster. Which is a constant problem in this community that I have noticed, and a good reason to leave it.

I find it funny that you care so much, so thank you for that.

I have had nothing but issues attempting to use AI to help with code. The amount of times it has given me something clearly incorrect, and I am not very experienced to be able to identify "wrong code" so easily, is way to high.

The context given was Carney said we account for 1% of the flow south. Which demonstrates that Trumps statement is inaccurate.

If one reads the article one can clearly see that Trump said Canada accounts for a huge flow of drugs over the border and isn't doing enough to curb it. Carney stated the fact that it is 1% of total movement into the US, and the article also states that Canada has increased enforcement clearly demonstrating that what Trump said is not accurate.

The point you are missing is it is a Journalists job to report what happened and what was said. Whether what Trump said was true or not is beside the point. They are reporting what he said, not that it is a fact, and also reporting what Carney has said while not declaring it a fact.

Donald Trump escalated a trade war by boosting the tariff rate from 25% to 35%, saying that Canada had “failed to cooperate” in curbing the flow of fentanyl and other drugs across the US border. The Canadian government says it is cracking down on drug gangs.

When you add the part of the sentence you removed back into it, it doesn't say that Canada has a massive flow of drugs heading across the border. Interesting how context matters and cherry picking helps no one eh?

That was your last chance at good faith.

Take care.

Why do you disagree with Hamas being demilitarized, Gaza being secured and rebuilt, the State of Palestine being built with guarantees for its viability, a Palestinian state existing without a military, and the state of Palestine recognizing Israel's official statehood?

Thanks for providing a great reason to leave this community.

The OP has been hostile in the comments, and in their OP, violating Rule 1, and Rule 5.

Do better.

What’s in the tweet and the letter

France has 0 conditions for the recognition of Palestinian statehood. That is a fact, and your claim otherwise is not supported.

What is in the tweet and letter cites the commitments made by the Palestinian Authority.

What exactly am I denying?

Lead with the source next time.

Your source demonstrates that France does not have conditions to recognizing a Palestinian state. Referencing the commitments made to other countries is not the same as requiring those conditions.

 

I am learning both Greek and Python right now, so I decided to make a simple program that quizzes you on the translations by providing it in Greek and asking for English, and if you provide the English, it will output the Greek if it is in the dictionary.

Feel free to take and modify this for your own uses if interested! It would be as simple as replacing the Greek dictionary and references with anything else. :)

import random, sys

greekTranslation = {
    'Γεια σας': 'Hello',
    'Καλημέρα': 'Good morning',
    'Καλησπέρα': 'Good evening',
    'Ευχαριστώ': 'Thank you',
    'Παρακαλώ': 'Please',}

def practiceGreek():
    greekPhrase = random.choice(list(greekTranslation.keys()))
    print('')
    print(f'What is the translation of "{greekPhrase}"?')
    print('')
    answer = input('Your answer: ')
    if answer.strip().lower() == greekTranslation[greekPhrase].lower():
        print('')
        print('That is correct!')
        print('')
    else:
        print('')
        print(f'Incorrect! The correct translation is "{greekTranslation[greekPhrase]}".')
        print('')

def translateToGreek():
    print('')
    print('What would you like to translate into Greek?')
    print('')
    englishPhrase = input().strip().lower()
    reverseTranslation = {v.lower(): k for k, v in greekTranslation.items()}
    greekPhrase = reverseTranslation.get(englishPhrase)
    
    if greekPhrase:
        print('')
        print(f'The Greek phrase is: "{greekPhrase}"')
        print('')
    else:
        print('')
        print('I am sorry, I don\'t have that in my dictionary.')
        print('')
    
        
while True:
    print('Welcome to the Greek Practice Program!')
    print('')
    print('What would you like to do?')
    print('')
    print('[Practice] [Translate] [Exit]')
    print('')
    optionSelection = input().strip().lower()
        
    if optionSelection != 'practice' and optionSelection != 'translate' and \
       optionSelection != 'exit':
        print('')
        print('Please select either practice, translate, or exit')
        optionSelection = ''
        print('')

    if optionSelection == 'practice':
        while optionSelection == 'practice':
            practiceGreek()

            print('')
            selection = input().strip().lower()
            if selection == 'yes':
                print('')
                continue
            else:
                print('')
                break
                
            
    elif optionSelection == 'translate':
        while optionSelection == 'translate':
            translateToGreek()
            print('')
            print('Would you like to translate another phrase? [yes] [no]')
            print('')
            selection = input().strip().lower()
            if selection == 'yes':
                print('')
                continue
            else:

                break
        
    
    elif optionSelection == 'exit':
        print('')

To elaborate a little:

Since many people are unable to tell the difference between a "real human" and an AI, they have been documented "going rogue" and acting outside of parameters, they can lie, they can compose stories and pictures based on the training received. I can't see AI as less than human at this point because of those points.

When I think about this, I think about that being the reason as to why we cannot create so called "AGI" because we have no proper example or understanding to create it and thus created what we knew. Us.

The "hallucinating" is interesting to me specifically because that seems what is different between the AI of the past, and modern models that acts like our own brains.

I think we really don't want to accept what we have already accomplished because we don't like looking into that mirror and seeing how simple our logical process' are mechanically speaking.
