Spot on, well said.
Also his family is invested in these zany ventures and 'can't' lose out.
Making them part of the MIC ensures endless graft.
Ted Postol has a good analysis of the Patriot PAC-3 and shows how the vendor has failed to tell the truth about their systems for decades while collecting endless taxpayer funds based on the lies.
Soldiers die, we get poor, they get rich. Zoomers aren't having any of it.
What's the hourly cost to taxpayers for flying an F16?
$22,000 per hour.
except for the hours in which the F16 crashes. Those hours cost $80 million/hour.
Fascinating; three completely disparate things, none of which have any relation to teleology, the nominal subject of the sentence.
"Wigner's Friend" is a thought experment, pointing out that in a strict interpretation of quantum mechanics, even conscious observers must be in an indeterminate quantum state until observed by an external observer. The least action principle states that the path of an object moving through a potential field is the one in which the action, the time integral of the kinetic energy minus the potential energy, is minimized. The second law of thermodynamics says that in any closed system the change in entropy, defined as the change in heat divided by the temperature, must be greater than or equal to zero; for a not-closed system, in order to decrease the entropy in one place, energy is needed (typically to be radiated as waste heat; i.e., life takes energy from the sun, and rejects waste heat to the envionment (which ultimately radiates it to space).) None of these have any relation to teleology, the philosophical concept that causality is driven by purpose.
Engineers need to remember that time exists.
You have three months to teach a teen how to control a robot with a microcontroller.
OK, how much of that do you budget to CS and assembly?
Month 1: Architecture and data structures? You have 18 40 minute periods and maybe homework assignments.
Half of the class won't even gain mastery in that time. By time your class is over they will still be having memory management problems.
So then you've failed to achieve the goal.
There are engineers who remember that time exists and for the rest we have engineering managers. Not ideal, just how it is.
To be sure engineering schools are doing a bad job at teaching reality. Even in a dx/dr environment, it's so weird.
All joking aside if....
And if you want to block Google's AI Overviews, there's over 100 extensions to choose from.
Ya think?
The CLARITY Act failing is good for Bitcoin
You do understand that Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency that exists, right?
Around 2029 we'll see that a ride is available for $16 or $31 with a driver.
Rider's choice. I'll guess it goes about 80/20.
He seems like a real scumbag but it's worth keeping in mind that the people who told us that have a massive incentive to pin their crimes on a scapegoat.
Since we pretty much know that FTX was the #1 donor to a party's political action committee with money laundered through Ukraine, he would have been smarter to wait for that conflict to conclude.
The people who benefited from the crime also prosecuted him which is never reliable.
It might not be FedSlop but unless it is proven that both parties didn't benefit we shouldn't trust this government either.
We do know that Ladybug Graham got $18M straight into his bank account from Ukraine so there is certainly smoke.
It's only since a dead man can't sue for libel that people are willing to print that nugget now.
Not in a Corporate Democracy.
The people who would prosecute OpenAI want to use OpenAI to maximize their power and wealth at your financial and legal expense.
Remember when they tried to extradite Gary McKinnon for twenty years for looking at a spreadsheet when he accidentally got RDP access to an unsecured NASA desktop with a simple Perl script? Intent is not relevant for prosecutors (mens rea should be an element in a Constitutional case).
The legal basis is there but the will to power is not.
Two systems of courts for different classes of people (yet again). It would be an error to call that a Justice System.
n.b. the Culture War psyop is there to try to convince you that the classes are something else.
I mean, ultimately, they're going to need to take a real fly brain, and hook it up to the Doom simulation, to see how accurate the fly brain simulation is.
I've watched the "runs". This isn't playing Doom. This is the "fly" sitting in the middle of a single room with four opponents that shoot at it and lasting about six or seven seconds of game time.
This was by no means a fruit fly brain playing doom. It was an exercise in interfacing Doom to a fruit fly brain which gets squashed in Doom about as fast as it does in my kitchen.
What a colossal waste of time. Predictably, when you take 139,255 neurons and place them in a situation they are utterly unequipped to handle they fail to handle it. Good science boyz!
And which part: during my school time, I never have seen such a map, do you not grasp?
Correct: I do not grasp. I think you simply don't notice where the equator was, because it's so common for it to be below the centerline that nobody notices or pays attention.
I gave links to six examples of the common ordinary maps you see all the time; I could have given a hundred. Did not even one look famililar?
Here's a clue. If on a Mercator projection Antarctica isn't larger than all the other continents combined... the equator isn't centered.
All maps I have seen: have the equator in the middle of the paper. Where else?
You already explained where, and why. This is why they put the equator below the center:
So obviously "to save paper space" or "to have more details in the north" they put the "base line" down.
There are corrections to gravity that include the current size of the Universe as s term that gives extremely small differences in calculations but explains most observations.
It has a certain allure from an Information Theory perspective and is extremely parsimonious in ask.
But funding is for finding wimps and axons and evidence of mysteries that use the old equations so you are called crazy if your simple theory threatens that gravy train.
Some people say useful physics is too dangerous to fund and we're better off wasting time and money.
Twenty years ago Dark Energy seemed like a good idea to me. So did Supersymmetry. Most new ideas that can be tested and used or disproved probably should be. That LHC found no Supersymmetric pairs is a good thing.
Apologies to the original.
According to a report I heard yesterday Talarico has 50x the cash of Paxton and it's the Bush politicial machine that is funding him.
The situation was similar in the primary but the base favored Paxton over Cornin by such a huge margin that the spend didn't matter.
The dual state people hate Paxton so much they have been after him for years.
It's populists vs. oligarchs in most races where party affiliation is a distant second to the money machine.
Since Trump ran on populism but then did a 180 with Judas knives out for his "former supporters" the odds of any Republican getting elected anywhere but an R+20 are extremely thin regardless of warchest.
DC's interference in free elections is gross but it probably won't matter on Election Day.
Impeachments of officials over FCC actions are quite likely at this point.
