Death Map United States.
Search the Internet for “mortality rate of millionaires in the US compared to other Western countries.” e.g. https://fortune.com/well/article/wealthy-americans-shorter-lifespan-europe/ "In a new study published today, researchers at Brown University analyzed the survival rates and wealth of older adults in the U.S. and Europe over 12 years. They found that Americans’ survival rate was lower than their European counterparts across all wealth tiers. The wealthiest in Northern and Western Europe had a mortality rate roughly 35% lower than that of the wealthiest Americans. " In Europe, we don't eat shit. Seriously. It doesn't matter how much money someone has. If someone here doesn't have money, they cook their own (healthy) meals. No processed junk food. This week, I watched a video on YouTube showing that in the US you can buy peeled, cooked eggs in packs of a dozen or so. How much chemicals did they have to add to make them last longer than a few days? In Europe no one in their right mind would touch it with a ten-foot pole. I spent $2 on breakfast, lunch, and dinner today. I cooked it myself. And this was not an isolated case. I usually limit my daily food budget to $2-3. It is usually closer to $2 than $3. For $2, you can buy about 400 grams of pork neck. Fresher, at the butcher's shop. I was going to buy pork shoulder, it was on sale yesterday for $3.5/kg, but when I came at 4 p.m., it was already sold out. They cut off a piece on the spot and put it in a grinding machine. Don't buy minced meat from factories where you don't know what they're grinding up in there. Such meat is placed in vacuum bags and can remain there for weeks. No thanks. I prefer the saleswoman to grind it in front of me. For the dish I made myself, I would have had to pay $10 in a restaurant. Making your own healthy dinner is much cheaper than buying it “on the town.”

Obesity map is very similar to your map: I don't even know a single person who has such a high BMI, and here it says that 40% of the population has such a BMI..

Armageddon.
@Nvredward 1 m^3 of water/ice has ~900- 1000 kg. e.g. comet. 1 m^3 of iron has ~ 7900 kg. e.g. iron asteroid. (so on average it will be a value between these two values) The deadly asteroid ranges in size from several hundred meters to several kilometers and more. Calculate its hypothetical volume. Knowing its average density and volume you can estimate its mass. The velocity can range from 30 km/s to 60 km/s or more in the case of interstellar objects. Based on mass and velocity, you can calculate the kinetic energy of an object and the amount of energy needed to change its trajectory.

AI's Tools Lying to it. What are the implications?
While we're on the subject of anecdotes, we asked ChatGPT to visit a URL. Our own server. And it actually visited and analyzed it. We saw this visit in the web server logs.. ChatGPT cannot search for data on its own at any given moment. It is best to tell it to visit this page and that page. The exact URL works best. Also, do you use Cloudflare? I noticed that if a server has its main address only in IPv6, I cannot connect to it from home (even though IPv6 is manually added to the DNS servers), and to access it, I have to 1) use a computer that is already in the same server room 2) use Cloudflare (i.e., everything that goes out/comes in goes through their proxy server and is cached - when you turn it off in the Cloudflare settings, you can't connect again). (the entire transmission of scienceforums.net goes through Cloudflare) Cloudflare has its own mechanisms for detecting bots and solving puzzles.. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you a little, but it doesn't work that way. Just because you have an address in the form of google.com doesn't mean you're going to the HQ in the US. It's the DNS servers that decide where you'll ultimately be taken. On Linux (perhaps Linux via VirtualBox), try: nslookup google.com nslookup google.com 1.1.1.1 nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8 In the first case, you have your default system DNS. In the second case, you have Cloudflare DNS. In the third case, you have Google DNS. Each of these commands gives me a different server in a different country. One is in Israel, the second is in the Czech Republic, and the third is a local server. On Windows, you can see Google's IP address by pinging google.com. Then go to TCP/IP settings, where you have static/dynamic IP address settings, etc. There you will find a section for setting custom DNS servers. Change it to 1.1.1.1. Close it and ping again. Change it to 8.8.8.8. Close it and ping again. Then enter these IP addresses into: https://ipinfo.io/

Discussion on pi
No. The definition of an irrational number implies that: "That is, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number 1/3 can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number "a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p / q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.[1] For example, 3 / 7 is a rational number, as is every integer"

A number of people say Trump is not listening to the courts?
Because the US president can order the murder of hundreds of thousands of people, the extermination of women and children, even their own US soldiers who are being held captive, by dropping a nuclear bomb on them, and no one accuses him of war crimes or anything like that.. When someone like Gaddafi orders the killing of hundreds of people, or someone like Hussein orders the killing of thousands of people, they are called “war criminals” and so on. But when someone like Franklin Delano Roosevelt makes such a decision, and later someone like Harry Truman continues it, they are called “war heroes.”..

Are LLMs AI, or is the claim that they are just hype?
People these days listen loudly to music in cars, talk through headsets (or not). If someone doesn't have a cabriolet, he may not even hear the alarm siren. Well, simply the geniuses. It's real from here: "There was a collision between two ambulances at a traffic signal. The accident occurred at an intersection. One of the ambulances roofed over as a result of the collision. All services were working at the scene."

Are LLMs AI, or is the claim that they are just hype?
In the case I disagree with you, but I'll explain why right away. It said not about "negative" and "positive", but "negative directive" and "positive directive". Where the word “directive” is relevant. It means: "A negative directive is a type of directive communication that instructs someone not to do something. It's a way of telling someone what not to do, rather than what to do. This can be expressed directly with a negative command or indirectly through a negative suggestion or request. " In our case, the red light is a negative directive in the sense that it prohibits forward movement of the vehicle. (except in unusual cases, such as privileged vehicles behind you, which you should let pass). You are very focused on what “Google AI” gives you. I have already said that it is lousy. Ask the same question in one browser window to ChatGPT (you don't have to log in), and in another to Deepseek (you have to log in, e.g. Google account or mail), and in a third to Google AI. You'll see which one answers the same question better and in the same way (copy'n'paste). I bet ChatGPT will get the best out of it, sometimes Deepseek will be better, and Google AI will generate nonsense (as you yourself have already noticed). To translate/verify texts into English I don't use Google Translate (anymore) either. One good thing about it is that it has generated sounds how to pronounce words. But I noticed that the translations are of poor quality. But our discussion was not about a privileged car, but a car waiting for switch of traffic lights. And he/she, while waiting on red, must pass the privileged cars that are behind him/her, and he/she is blocking their way - that is, even though it is red, he/she must enter the road on red to let them pass. Since he is already standing and waiting on the road for the light to change, going <=10 km/h to make room does not risk possibly hitting a pedestrian who may be crossing the road (unlike a speeding emergency vehicle). Well, it's getting to be an increasingly complicated diagram/flowchart of if/then/else if/else relationships.. ;) I just saw that ChatGPT can generate you a nice flowchart like the one in this picture: Here you have shown how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8-4vYydLPs Methinks this is an interesting option. On a philosophical level, we can say to ourselves that everything has its consequences...

Are LLMs AI, or is the claim that they are just hype?
This is output generated by ChatGPT with your question: How do you like this output? Grotesque. Isn't it grotesque that a man says he/she doesn't understand something in a thread where you complain that LLM doesn't understand something.. ? :) I put studiot's 2nd post again, and this is the output: (..cut a bit..) I like what was generated. In the past it has been “funny”/“shocking” if you asked a question in English, you received a completely different answer than if you asked the same question in my language.. After a deeper look, I think that with this rule that we stand on red, we can also disagree. In our law, if a privileged car is driving, such as an ambulance, police, fire brigade, then we must make room for them to pass. And that may require going through the red. And then it can be done without any consequences.

Calculation of mirror mass using sun gravitational lens formula
Jupiter absorbs and re-emits light from the Sun (which has nothing to do with Jupiter mass). What you should get familiar with is Albedo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo Jupiter emits (in the invisible region of the spectrum) IR, which depends on the internal Jupiter temperature. The brightness and energy emitted by the Sun (or any other star) does not only depend on its mass, but on the stage of life it is currently in. Currently, the Sun emits 1370 W/m^2 from a distance of 150 million kilometers, which is detectable on Earth. But at a later stage of life, in a few billion years, it will lose mass and emit more energy (which will cause the entire star to grow - its radius will become larger than it is now). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_giant Why would you count the mass of a mirror? Isn't it simpler to multiply its density by its volume? and calculate the volume using the mirror's radius and inset?

AI hijack from Air India Flight 171 - Focus On Fuel Switches (and replies)
Why are you lying? Google AI is not AI. It is just hype-AI which a lie it is an AI. Why are you lying that it is AI? “Google AI” is just such a summary of what can be found on the Internet on a given topic. It is not any AI. It's like writing that google found you that water boils at 100 C. Some decency in conversation must be maintained, and you already f**d off. It had nothing and nothing to do with AI, but you decided, in your idiocy, to introduce into it. The point was that they did not have time to reboot the engine. If they had, the accident wouldn't have happened. In my post it was that to restart the engine you need to have 2 min = 120 seconds minimum. And the flight lasted 32 seconds. So since they had 88 seconds less, they naturally crashed. ...with which what I posted you don't agree.. ? Please make an idiot of yourself again.. You should run for president of the USA, you would win in the primaries..

Seriously? If they had managed to restart the engines and gain full power, there would not have been an accident, after all..

AI hijack from Air India Flight 171 - Focus On Fuel Switches (and replies)
It usually takes 2 to 5 minutes to restart the engine. Google AI: "Starting a Boeing aircraft engine typically takes about 2 to 5 minutes, but the time can vary depending on the specific engine type and conditions. Older models like the 737NG can start relatively quickly (around 45 seconds per engine), while newer models like the 737 MAX and A320neo can take longer, potentially 2 to 4 extra minutes per engine due to procedures like bowed rotor motoring (...)" When your engines don't work the first thing you think about is a reboot. The problem is time. And the real structural problem is that people don't think where they create these airports. The entire strip behind (and before) each airport should be a highway on which you could make emergency landings.. Airports are made on the rump, then the land is sold and developed thickly, and then nothing can be done about it anymore after years of human folly.. ..a few kilometers before/behind each lane should be a highway, after which, in case of problems, you would land..

Bear with me. I believe that binary is the foundation, the very first "element" of the physical universe
Go to a sex shop. There are toys you never dreamed of.. ;) On a more serious note, we can play around with installing Linux on your cell phone if you have an Android phone. Text me on priv and we'll play. We'll do it so you can see what's going on. Choose some junk from the pile of oldies but to have Android v7+ (Android v5+ can be installed but have to be pre-compiled, and you can't have GUI = you won't see what I am doing = which you won't like) That's how we play here. I got 7 beers (3.33L total) for free today. I drank them already, so you know.. Have a quick drink of 500 ml vodka, and you'll be at my intellectual level.. ;) What about those teddy bears that can mug you on the street in the middle of a polar night.. ? >cmd laziness mode turn off

If someone had accidentally pressed the button there would not have been enough time to understand the problem and turn it off and stop the fall. We are talking about seconds after the plane took off.

Bear with me. I believe that binary is the foundation, the very first "element" of the physical universe
There are two types of people. Those who have been banned and those who have not yet been banned.. I guess you didn't spend much time thinking about that answer. Because if you had spent even a few milliseconds more you should have come up with the idea that, after all, DNA is composed of 4 molecules, or 2^2. That is, the entire sequence would have (2^2)^n molecules (multiplied by the inverse, to be safe) , which can form one big binary structure. One big number 2^(2n)... Such a large binary integer. If the number of molecules and atoms in any structure is an integer, it would be possible to write its value using the binary system.. How are you supposed to comprehend anything if you waste your time on some philosophical / psychological considerations.. There is no greater waste of time than for philosophical and/or psychological considerations. One would probably have to drink vodka, sniff drugs, fuck everybody, and generally get lazy.. Your understanding of the universe is (over) simplistic. The direction is a vector. A vector from where? Left, right and up are also vectors. From this we have rotation, translation and scaling. It is called "matrix multiplication" / "matrix transformation". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix You can multiply a 3x1 vector by a 3x3 matrix, or you can multiply a 4x1 vector by a 4x4 matrix.. You have chosen a very poor example. Which can be easily refuted, but my prefaces did not make any mental effort. They are in vacation mode and should be sunbathing on the beach and not reading SFN. But they have such a perversion that they can't live without SFN, which is their masturbator. I have a conviction that majority of these people have never multiplied vectors by matrices, and if they did it was in college math classes in quantities that can be counted on one hand. And when you write code for yourself, you can do it billions of times a second. You can go from binary numbers to complex numbers very easily. All you have to do is stack them. (2^32)^4 = 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 This is the number of combinations of a 4x1 vector with the precision of a single floating-point number. A 4x4 matrix with floating point numbers will be a ^4 number. You have 4gb of memory in your computer, and you can play all the movies ever created by man.. (for books it would probably be enough with 1 MB). It's all binary.

Is this a real french keyboard ?
..the link is in the picture.. This is a virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard can be whatever you want it to be. If you are a programmer, you can create your own.. The voice assistant is also a virtual keyboard. What you say into the microphone is converted into text, which is then entered letter by letter by this app in each text field. Such an application is very sensitive from the point of view of computer security. If it was written by a hacker, it can intercept everything you have typed (logins and passwords) (keylogger), or it can also enter something that has been transmitted over the Internet super-fast without being noticed by a normal user (keystroke injections). Virtual keyboard API for mobile/tablet apps on Android: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/Keyboard Virtual keyboard API for web browsers: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/VirtualKeyboard_API a more modern version: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/InputMethodManager There is also hardware keystroke injections worth to notice (that's why to the pentagon etc. will not let you take your pendrive).. Keyboards have a lot of keys. In order to optimize the number of keys on the screen (i.e. so that it can be displayed on phone screens that have small resolutions) different types of optimization of these keys are used. For example, you have to press one button, it is active for a few seconds, and you have to quickly press some other button to make this “second option” activate (the one below the usual one). One key has many hidden options. Do you mean that it says “enter” in English and not “entrer”? "Caps Lock" in French will be "Verrouillage des majuscules".. ;) a bit difficult to fit it on such a small rectangle..

Are LLMs AI, or is the claim that they are just hype?
Honestly. Google AI, at the moment, is a crap. I asked ChatGPT “how many neutrons are in a water molecule, with separation into isotopes,” and it provided this: The problem is trust. Overconfidence. People who are considered specialists in a certain field are also trusted. Which can have disastrous consequences if they make a mistake. A person who is a layman, and just wants to get a quick answer to a question that concerns him/her will not want (or will not know how to do it at all) to verify the answers from a “specialist”.. Much greater reliability is expected from a machine than from a human being. It doesn't make sense.

Too much time on my hand.
Human brain/CPU consumes energy to process data.. This whole world is about the transfer of energy from particles X+Y to A+B. The (kinetic etc) energies of A and B are more evenly distributed than those of X and Y. For this reason, we do not see (often) reverse chemical and physical reactions. Some call it entropy. Particles with high (kinetic) energies that can cause something unusual are rare.. For an artificial brain to be able to process data indefinitely it would have to not waste energy, which means it would have to be some kind of closed system.

It gets even worse - when you have a lot of time, you can simulate an analog signal with just 0 and 1 pulses of different widths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

US justice system (split from Andrew Cuomo says companies should hire people with criminal record)
After all, the entire legal system is something of a joke. A convict is ordered to pay the costs of a trial he lost. Each judge of the court, lawyers, jury judges, etc. etc. this is all paid for by the convicted. If you have a case like government vs. private individual and the government loses, the government pays (i.e. from our taxes). If the private person loses, it seizes his/her assets. There is no justice here. And there is no place for justice. Someone goes to jail. They take away his/her freedom. And on top of that he/she has to pay for the cost of the trial and a fine. So if he/she had anything it is auctioned off and seized. After getting out of prison then you have a homeless person who can't find a job and becomes a full-time criminal already. The creation of private prisons, which make money by having inmates, is a cosmic pathology. Right. And they are listed on the stock market from what I remember. The more people commit crimes, the more these “companies” earn, and the more dividends their shareholders will get.
