I am amazed at how he recalls events, issues, incidents etc. with such detail decades after they happened. I can’t seem to remember things well that happened 6 months ago.
Does anyone have a system they use to help with such rich recollection?

FWIW, I had Astra do it as you suggested: https://pelican-model-gallery.alienfluid.chatgpt.site
I used Light mode and it used up all my limits for the day and had to continue the following day.

You joined 7 days ago and literally your entire timeline is about Israel and Jews. You’ve contributed nothing else.
Seems like bot behavior.
Ask HN: How do you manage kids' accounts?
My kids are just getting to the point where I need to manage several internet accounts (iCloud, Google, Amazon Kids) and parental controls settings across several devices (iPad, Alexa, Apple Watch).It’s getting a bit confusing between passwords, content settings, notifications, payments, PINs etc.What system do you use to keep this manageable in your household?

My understanding is that every major attempt at getting to a two-state solution has been encumbered by pre-conditions set by Israel that have made the negotiations a non-starter.
For example, any deal that would have Israel give back territories it has been occupying since 1967 has never even been on the table.
The Oslo accords, perhaps the most serious of these, were deeply unpopular on both sides.
Also, any and all attempts by Palestinians to get formal recognition in the UN have been repeatedly vetoed by the United States.

You’re right. I was referring to the Palestinian Territories in the context of annexation.

Hamas is a symptom of desperation. It certainly is not acting in the best interest of Gazans and they are suffering due to that.
But on the other hand, diplomacy has not been an effective tool for Gazans and, as all signs indicate, it never will. Not at least until US withdraws its unconditional support for Israel.
With status quo, Gazans have the choice to lie down and die or continue living under deplorable conditions under a military occupation, as Israel slowly annexes the land that, under international law, doesn’t belong to them.

A two-state solution is a fever dream if the occupier is uninterested in it. We’ve seen that repeatedly for the past 75+ years in actions and literal words.
So the question is, if you were the subjugated population, what would you do?

It’s refreshing to hear from someone else what I’ve been thinking and saying for a while now.
This perspective is conspicuously missing from all narrative you hear and read in the media, as well as the administration. The gaslighting is hard to ignore.

Yup, it looks that way. Getting this error when using the CLI:

Probably a combination of bot behavior, lag ("eventual consistency") and deliberate probabilistic approach to user-facing analytics.
