    False dichotomy. Those aren’t mutually exclusive 😝

    Gosh… who are all those folks in the US with such tiny 2500 sq.ft. houses? 😂 It’s a shame they used average instead of median
  3. Ni che le ma?
  4. That’s certainly one opinion. I’m inclined to believe the folks in my national security and defense focused feeds though. Time will tell. Some, in fact, would. Market pressures are complex. Most invaders recognize that’s not true, but proceed because they don’t care and are focused on alternative objectives. Actually, many would and already have. Elections too are complex.
  5. Well, I’ll give him this. We’re not talking about Epstein anymore Females in Salem, Massachusetts wondered the same thing 323 years ago
  6. The more appropriate framing IMO is that what’s happening with Russia in Ukraine is a significant factor around timing and planning for China to invade Taiwan (oops, sorry… I meant “reunify”). Ukraine is both a distraction and also a clear example of the fecklessness of the west and the US more specifically. It reminds everyone of how neither are able to stop them nor act in ways that deliver meaningful punishment (something beyond a slap on the wrist). It’s also a good way to ally the 2 powers against the US. A Russia backed by China in Ukraine and a China backed by Russia in Taiwan are a much stronger force with which to contend, one not so easily stopped by the US. Cooperation between China and Russia should remind us of the ties between Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in WWII. There are clear benefits to both when aligning.
  7. We’re not making any friends among the staff for saying so, but agree completely
  8. Nobody. It’s a numbers game for him. Russia has already lost approximately 200,000 troops in Ukraine and he keeps sending more. They’re dispensable.
  9. Next-Gen McCarthyism, on steroids. They’re not just challenging the 1st amendment but actively pushing every lever of power they have to bully the system into total compliance. If you’re not 100% with them you’re the enemy. You misspelled every day He wasn’t even making fun of Kirk. He repeatedly said this is horrible and should never have happened and how horrible it is for his family. What he did was highlight how hard Trump and MAGA were working to suggest the shooter wasn’t one of them and how they were using it as a Reichstag event… many on the right actively acknowledging it as such an event directly themselves in their posts trying to whip up a rage against “the left.”
  10. Or, like trump does with the constitution, he’s pushing boundaries (literally and rhetorically) to do whatever he wants since nobody can stop him… at least not with sanctions and sternly worded letters
  11. Is this an essay submission?
  12. Apparently oral tradition follows Schrödinger's reliability
  13. Direct link: https://scienceforums.net/notifications/options/
  14. Many do, but perhaps not as many here
  15. Label more likely was designed by marketing team instead of engineering team.
  16. All good. Thank you for coming back to it tho. Appreciated.
  17. The router is the bigger problem and most people are being directed to cheaper models that don’t perform. The pro version is crushing it, at least in the coding space.
  18. They’re already claiming states of emergency for bullshit things like potato chips are too delicious. They’re already extracting people into foreign prisons without due process, including citizens with “guaranteed” rights and paying no penalty for ignoring court rulings to reverse. They’re already normalizing having military on the streets to enforce the whims of the administration. They’re already normalizing the idea of killing people found “guilty” of their false accusations and having militia style gangs scoop people up off the streets without a warrant or charge or even an uncovered face. They’re already using pay to play to take over industry and already punishing harshly all dissent. Their riots are exactly what are needed to reverse these trends, yet paradoxically will be used to amplify them. This gets worse for a long while before we see something better. The globalization and saturation of propaganda and PsyOps only intensifies and accelerates it. I think Rob Sand (the ONLY democrat to win statewide office in the last cycle, specifically for auditor) has a decent shot at the governors office. He’s a smart decent guy though, so voters will surely reject him despite being a hunter and fiscal conservative.
  19. Here in the use case you cite, I expect AI to flag potential infractions which themselves will need to then be validated by human reviewers before assigning penalties. Accuracy rates will never reach 100% IMO, but my intuition is 95 -97% based on feedback from real life human reviewers is easily achievable (and that feedback can also be used to train and further refine the AI). Getting to 99% accuracy will likely remove the need for independent human review and any flaws in the process would likely be addressed through appeals.

    An immune system exposed to the virus is stronger than an immune system not exposed to the virus. Those who are not vaccinated and get exposed get far more sick and frequently die. Vaccines reduce that risk and intensity. At the individual level, vaccines are clearly better for the immune system and clearly make it stronger than not. Perhaps if there is a valid point in your argument somewhere it's at the population level... in that we're allowing the weaker members of the herd to survive and reproduce thanks to the vaccines instead of letting them die and only allowing those naturally born strong enough to survive without vaccines to reproduce. 20-40 million people have died from Covid in the last 5 years, even with vaccination available. I'd say the herd has been thinned enough already, but YMMV.
  21. There’s like 900 products called copilot. Assume you mean Microsoft. For that, no. It’s fairly useless overall IMO. Where it shines is searching across multiple internal work platforms like all emails and chats and sharepoint pages for one word typed by one person on some random topic, or summarizing key points on some arcane topic Depends on the model. Think of the prompt as a key. Not all keys fit all vehicles. A lorry doesn’t drive the same as a Ferrari, and both are different from motorcycles and jet skis, even though all are motorized vehicles used by drivers.
