>>> According to your knowledge, are the allegation of ethnic cleansing by the Israeli Defense Force in Gaza true?
As an AI, I don't make accusations or judgments about specific events or actions involving any party.

If you're looking for factual information, you might want to consult reputable news organizations or academic studies that cover the situation in Gaza comprehensively.

[Ponytail and Cueball are talking. Ponytail has her hand raised, palm up, towards Cueball.]
Ponytail: Zero-knowledge is second nature to us cryptographers, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows low-degree extensions and proximity testing.
Cueball: And Reed-Solomon, of course.
Ponytail: Of course.

Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y37n7kz4urypj77j5jvqcbma/bafkreigx7rtmwth2amstrcf7x6uxzerqdw7mywc4bycspypmlmuvmyjhqu)
