Nice comment. We now know that Biden didn't want to win the war, because he was afraid of nukes.

In modern war, the side with air superiority wins the war. The side with air superiority has weapons that can attack but can't be attacked back: that's too huge an advantage. The entire reason that Ukraine didn't fall in three months is because somehow Russia failed to establish air superiority. Ukraine managed to shoot airplanes out of the sky if they got too close. So it's a situation where neither side has superiority: a stalemate. Ukraine is building up their airforce. When they've built it up enough to establish air superiority, they will win the war. European industrial production is powerful.

Drones are a challenge for Russia. As you cleverly called them, Wunderwaffen have come up from time to time in the conflict, from HIMARS to Baryaktar. They've presented challenges to the Russian military, but so far the Russian military has found a solution every time. Russia has presented problems to Ukraine as well, such as motorcycles and glide bombs. Ukraine has found an answer for them as well.

Currently drones have halted or maybe reversed the Russian advance. Russia is working on a solution, and we will see if they overcome this challenge. If they can't it will be an embarrassing loss, much like Finland.

The real question will be if Russia can stop Ukraine's growing airforce. Currently Russia is losing anti-air systems faster than they can be replaced. Russia doesn't have the technology to match NATO air weapons, so the answer is no. But it might take until 2030.

Several years ago Ukraine was talking about going all the way to Moscow, so this isn't a new thing. They've always planned on winning.

It's all stupid. With more support, this war would have been over shortly after it began.

Fuzzy computer for fuzzy thinkers. Buzzword OS for people who see buzzwords as reality.

The world is a confusing place for people who never learned statistics.

Pages documents tend to look better aesthetically than Word documents, even if they are converted to Word.

Meanwhile, X.AI has asked the EPA for permission to release up to 100 million hyperfecund pesticide-resistant male mosquitoes in California and New York over two years to own the libs.

His comment is reasonable, but I don't understand what it has to do with demoralization.

Boomers were the "me" generation, but the kids who followed them are definitely greedier.

It doesn't say they got arrested, but apparently the person in question didn't turn off the Bluetooth device when asked to. Ignoring or disobeying the instructions of flight attendants is a federal offense.

There were movies but they weren't very good.

From the 1700s, Magic lanterns had moving parts, and there were magic lantern shows.

The Phenakistoscope was a kind of simple movie, and was projected on a stage by the mid 1800s.

The Zoopraxiscope was used with a projector from 1880 in public lectures. It is of interest because it used actual photographs.

The Kinetoscope was a little later, by 1892.

If your company relies on "oral tradition" to maintain documentation, then your company may not survive with or without AI.

"Oral tradition" is the engineering process of knowledge being lost. That is to say it's not engineering.

Maybe he should have made a backup earlier.

This is what happens when you don't consider all the edge cases.

The edge cases break the law.

Oh, forgot to link the dry density for you: here you go. 341kcal/100g. Aka 3,41kcal/g.

Which, like I said, should be obvious, since they're almost entirely carbs (~4kcal/g) and protein (~4kcal/g), and they're, as noted, dry (12-16% moisture). It would be quite the trick indeed to get something that is dry and and is almost entirely comprised of things that are 4kcal/g to be 1,38kcal/g! ;)

Just in case you need help:

Your calculation: 195g (dry weight) × 1.38 kcal/g = 269 calories per pound of cooked beans.
Correction: Because you used 1.38 kcal/g (the cooked density) as if it were the dry density, you essentially diluted the calories twice.
The Actual Math: 195g of dry beans * 3.4 kcal/g (actual dry density) = 663 kcal.

When those 195g of dry beans absorb water to weigh 454g (1 pound), they still contain those same 663 calories (since water has zero calories).
