Israel’s Supreme Court has ruled that the government failed to feed Palestinian security prisoners properly and ordered authorities to improve their nutrition. The decision was a rare case in which the country’s highest court ruled against the government’s conduct during the nearly two-year war. Since the war began, Israel has arrested thousands of people in Gaza that it suspects of links to Hamas. Thousands have also been released without charge, often after months of detention. Rights groups have documented widespread abuse in prisons and detention facilities, including insufficient food and health care.
A few notes on AI and blind gaming:
Last night, I tried a few games with TalkBack's AI. I believe it's using one of the smaller models. Anyway, I played Mortal Kombat, Shaolin Monks, and Fire Emblem, Awakening. Both ended in failure for different reasons. Mortal Kombat ended because I couldn't orient my character to move to the passageway that the AI said was either to my left or right. I did, however, manage to get the first item and defeat a few enemies. It was a lot more button mashing than I hoped for, though. In games, I really like to know what's going on, which I feel isn't what many blind video gamers are after.
With Fire Emblem, Awakening, I wasn’t able to finish the tutorial in 30 minutes because I had know idea why one character was always in battles and the other one was seemingly wandering around an empty place. I mean, I know there are blind people who have been playing games since they were like 9 months old and who can beat any Pokemon game without access scripts, but I just ain't one of them. Granted, Mk Shaolin Monks was a test to me, to see if AI can help me know where to go in these types of 3D games. I really didn't anticipate archways and hallways and such. So that will probably take a larger, thinking model with realtime screen access. I should try Gemini Live again at some point and see if it's improved any. Last time I tried it couldn't even give me controller inputs and Mk Deadly Alliance moves correctly.

Doctor: Describe your average night.
Me: They wear suits of armour.
Doctor: No, I mean at bedtime.
Me: Well, they probably take it off.
Dear Windows 11 that's pretending to be smart,
Stop bloody resetting my folder settings in Explorer. There's a reason why I customized it. When I want to see track information for my MP3 files, I'll bloody use my player software to find out.
