Git good son

Iran said Sunday it struck an unmanned U.S. vessel trying to enter the Strait of Hormuz, the latest salvo in a new flare-up of fighting between the two countries.

The U.S. did not immediately confirm the purported attack, which came a day after the U.S. military said forces struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to a missile attack on Navy warships.

The war began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on Feb. 28. But since a ceasefire agreement was announced in June, on-and-off fighting has persisted with both sides trying to inflict military and economic pain as negotiations have collapsed.

Context: The famous Cleopatra is just Cleopatra VII i.e the 7th Cleopatra of the Ptolemaic dynasty.

The other ones are

Cleopatra I Syra: A Seleucid princess who married Ptolemy V. After her husband's death, she became regent of Egypt for their young son, Ptolemy VI.

Cleopatra II: Daughter of Cleopatra I and Ptolemy V. She became queen alongside her brother and husband, Ptolemy VI, and later married their younger brother, Ptolemy VIII. She became one of the central figures in the dynasty's long and extremely violent family conflicts.

Cleopatra III: Daughter of Cleopatra II and Ptolemy VI. She became queen alongside her uncle and stepfather, Ptolemy VIII, and later ruled with her own sons. Her rivalry with her mother, Cleopatra II, contributed to another civil war within the Ptolemaic family.

Cleopatra IV: Daughter of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy VIII. She briefly became queen of Egypt after marrying her brother, Ptolemy IX , but was soon pushed aside when her mother arranged for Ptolemy IX to marry her sister Cleopatra Selene. She later went to Syria and became queen there.

Cleopatra V Tryphaena: A later Ptolemaic queen who married Ptolemy XII. She was probably the mother of Cleopatra VII, although the exact details of Cleopatra VII's parentage are debated. She disappeared from the historical record around 69/68 BCE from what I understand she was posioned.

Cleopatra VI Tryphaena: This Cleopatra is the most uncertain of the others (and kinda a rabbit hole in itself lol). Ancient sources and later historians have disagreed about exactly who she was and even whether she was a separate person from Cleopatra V. She is generally associated with the political crisis that led to her daughter Berenice IV temporarily taking the throne from Ptolemy XII.

I'll copy the whole announcement here for those who don't want to click:

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

Humans are still writing the vast majority of guest columns published in the opinion pages of The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, a Semafor analysis found — but large language models were creeping in well before a high-profile Journal op-ed provoked controversy this week.

Over the past month, 10 out of 310 guest submissions to the three publications were labeled as at least 80% “AI” by AI detector Pangram, suggesting AI is not yet making a meaningful dent in human contributions to the most prestigious publications.

Another 40 articles were partially AI-generated. Pangram uses custom AI models to analyze text and other content for AI and, according to a spokesperson, has a .01% false positive rate. If Pangram finds more than 80% of the text is AI generated, it is labeled as AI. In informal testing by Semafor, Pangram was very accurate in detecting AI-written text, though some complain of false positives.

Wenige Tage zuvor wurde die Regenbogenbank gegenüber des Baums zerstört

TL;DR Nach dem Anschlag auf den Berliner CSD wurden zum Gedenken ein Baum gepflanzt und eine Parkbank aufgestellt, mittlerweile wurden beide zerstört.
