Comment Re:Programming Languages? Uh (Score 1) 159

Exactly! Why would anyone even bother to write any "human readable" program. All _most_ programs do is swallow some data, transform it in some way and then output some data for humans, who still have a job, to see. You can teach AI to perform that same transformation on the input data, using the same Algorithms.
But:
- Does AI offer repeatability? If I have taught it one transformation, is it guaranteed that it will exactly repeat that transformation again and again. After a million times? I have seen the same prompt generating quite different results at different times. Compiling prompts to regenerate software could break for the same reason. Every regeneration will require a ton of testing and validation.
- There are those programs, such as the ones that control an Aircraft, or other mission critical applications. Can AI generate the signals required by hardware at the right rates? What if it pauses a bit to scratch its head? These programs are typically formally verified too. With no programing languages, what's to prove their correctness?
- And many other cases... such as those involving money, transactions, trades etc.

For simple things like, fetching data to plot sales figures, applying for a day off at work, searching and ordering groceries from an eDatabase etc. I can see your point.

For a bit more than that those lands belonged to other ethnicities ?

Nope, I did the math. Jews stayed there for more time than the cumulative time spent by other ethnicities.

Why stop there ? Why not take a higher view ?

Sure. Humans are currently busy lobbing explosive stuff at one another in the name of fantasy stories invented by scheming "messengers of dog".

75% of Iranians who aren’t Muslim

That's incorrect. Most Iranians are Muslim. Almost all. They are Shia Muslims though. While the rest of the Muslims all over the world are Sunni. Shia and Sunnis are kind of enemies. Because those who murdered Muhammad's (their prophet) family became the Sunnis. And those that sided with the prophet's family became Shia. So Iranian muslims don't care about Palestine problem because they are Sunni. But for some very bizarre reason, both Khomeini and Khamenie deeply cared about the Palestinian problem. Perhaps born out of the deep inferiority complex, since they are the only Shia nation in the world. They probably want to show how "superior" Shias are by solving the Palestinian problem, that the Sunnis couldn't solve.

Yes, the history of the place is in fact very old.

For more than 2 thousand years those lands belonged to Jews. Then Babylonians took the lands from the Jews and destroyed their temple. Then Persians took the lands when it came under Cyrus. Cyrus was liberal and allowed the Jews to construct the temple. Then it came under the Romans who destroyed the temple (which is where the al-aqsa mosque stands now). Then it went to Umar, who built a muslim structure that would eventually become the mosque. Under islamic rule, the Jews were persecuted, outcast from Jerusalem, made to pay jizya for being non-muslim. Many jews moved to other countries, including Persia (Iran). After being persecuted everywhere, they moved back to their original land.

That's the very high-level picture I got.

That's what the invading Muslims exactly did. Under their Caliph Umar and later by Muwayia, they conquered the lands that is now called Israel+Palestine. They evicted Jews out of their homes in Jerusalem, built the al-aqsa mosque where the jewish temple was supposed to have been there after it was demolished by the Romans. They made Jews second class citizens in Israel, collected jizya... They were the top dogs back then. Now they are the under dogs. The lands originally belonged to the Jews for more than 2 thousand years.
