I don’t know how else to say it, but: the unique aspects of the Holocaust are what makes the Holocaust unique.
Making up “tiers” of mass murder or genocide is dehumanizing. There is no point in trying to compare these atrocities - except of course if someone wants to say e.g. “Well, the holocaust wasn’t that bad”.
You need to provide sources. For example: most Germans knew about concentration camps and the mass murder (source).
Write your code as if the next person that works with it is a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
It honestly felt like watching a rational adult deal with his children complaining they can’t have a sleepover or something.
Except the children’s behavior will also get a lot of people killed and possibly a whole nation enslaved.
By teaching history, including how capitalism killed millions of people, whole ecosystems and uncountable species.
You have (at least) two groups of people with traumatic experiences from mutual violence continuing for generations and you think there is a simple solution?
Tell me, how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I’m looking up at rock bottom, bottom
(Bottom, bottom)
Everybody told me ever since I was young
I should bite my tongue
Couple kids, picket fence, maybe earn a nice income
It’ll get you some
Peace of mind, step in line, everything’ll be just fine
Then I looked up, found they must’ve left me behind
Sent shivers down my spine
Tell me, how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I’m looking up at rock bottom, bottom
(Bottom, bottom)
My next-door neighbor said I better get a 9 to 5
Just to stay alive
Talkin’ ‘bout change, boy, that’s nothin’ but a waste of time
Now I, now I wish that I
Read the signs better 'cause the writing was on the wall
And now we got front row seats, watch the system fall
'Cause look who’s in control
See upcoming rock shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
Tell me, how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I’m looking up at rock bottom, bottom
(Bottom, bottom)
Dam-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, la-la la la la la la la la
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, la-la la la la la la la la
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam
('Cause look who’s in control-trol)

This is a lot of things, but not mildly infuriating.
I mean, project managers have been not caring about professional coders since way before the current LLM hype.
It’s interesting how the headline makes it sound like this was a new demand from Netanyahu. But apparently it was part of the deal and Hamas did not send the list due to “technical difficulties”.
Apparently, that was some other Zuckerberg project: https://www.metro.us/everything-to-know-about-facemash-the-site-zuckerberg-created-in-college-to-rank-hot-women/
Not buying a ticket (“Erschleichen von Leistungen”) is a crime, but it’s not a felony (“Verbrechen”).
I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t think being “ashamed” is the way to go - I only feel shame for things I have done.
But otherwise I agree. They just held their party convention with the speaker being flanked by 8 German flags on the left on 8 on the right - so 88. And held up signs “Alice for Deutschland” (one of their leaders was convicted for using the SA slogan “Alles für Deutschland”). So yeah, they’re fascists and ~20% of voters want to vote for them. It’s disgusting.
Politicians are afraid it might make them unpopular among the racist part of the population.
Are German prisons as scary as US (from what I’ve seen on TV) prisons or South African Prisons?
Nope, not even close from what I hear about the US prison system. It still sucks obviously and we just had a scandal in Augsburg where inmates have been tortured (beatings, not enough water provided, forced to stay naked, sleep on the floor etc).
That probably depends on which constitution you’re talking about ;)
But I wonder if “for-profit organization may not use recommendation algorithms” would be constitutional in e.g. EU countries.
Even if that is “the propaganda” (which I have not seen in this thread btw): your counterproposition is not to dispose of the whole one-dimensional “which atrocity is worse” bullshit, but instead formalizing it by speaking of tiers and arguing that the holocaust wasn’t that bad. That’s dehumanizing, has no value at all (it’s not like a “tier 2 genocide” it somehow more okay) and instead opens the doors for Nazi apologia and antisemtism and derails the discussion.
