This does assume that these are independent variables, which may not necessarily be the case.

That's true, those happened when Israel was funding and using Hamas to deliberately destabilize the more secular PLO, and followed decades of Israeli occupation.
But then Hamas got into power with a plurality of the vote and have been constantly attacking Israel ever since.
Hamas has always been extreme in rhetoric, but the violence afaik began when Israel, the US and the PA attempted to coup them out of power.
There have been a few times in this war there has been ceasefires with hostages exchanged for prisoners. Hamas eventually stops releasing hostages and the conflict resumes.
So far every ceasefire was broken by Israel, because they were unwilling to enter the next phase of negotiations which was a precondition to the release of more hostages.
It doesn't seem like Hamas wants sovereignty, they could have had that if they wanted it.
Like how Israel respects the sovereignty of the PA in the West Bank? Yeah right.
Steam choosing what to host on their platform is fine. A random payment processor forcing their hand due to mild pressure from a fringe Christian group in Australia is not. Because those loonies will classify anything outside of a married couple having missionary sex as obscene and harmful.
At this point the hostages are Hamas' only bargaining chip left. At the same time, Israel has very publicly stated that their primary war goal is not the release of the hostages but the total extermination of Hamas. So even if Hamas released the hostages, by Israel's own admission, the war would not end (it may even intensify as there'd be no hostages to avoid bad PR for).
Also, nobody thinks Hamas are saints. But the people of Gaza should not have to face extermination by explosions, gunshots or starvation because of their crimes.
Unless it's a competitive race, then something fucking with your drivetrain could seriously mess you up. Or someone just doing it for their own twisted fun could be incredibly annoying.
The idea is that the programming language is closer to natural language, which is what LLMs do best.
Yeah it's... almost suspiciously similar in fact. It looks like basically the same game but with fruit growing instead of drugs.
How did that come about?
Almost always South Parks villains are portrayed in a heavily satirized way. A common thing they do is to portray those attacking eg an environmentalist as 'normal', but then overly exaggerate how 'true' the attacks are. It's to ridicule the attackers, not who they attack, by showing just how ridiculous this villain has to be for the attacks to make sense.
The historical pronunciation of this letter is irrelevant because it's a modern word with a modern pronunciation.
No, the current president is also called Ferdinand Marcos.
The EU has Visa debit cards.
