Having used machine translation for years, I am well aware that it screws up. Even so, it's very useful and you get used to the mistakes it makes and learn to interpret them.
That said Google's English transcription is better than a human now, and IME is close to flawless. Meta's is probably a lot worse, but the potential is there.
Drones don't need air superiority to operate, they rely on numbers to overwhelm. At a recent arms show there was a company offering cardboard drones. Cost in monetary and material terms is getting so low that the challenge becomes mass producing them fast enough to swarm the enemy. Low flying, disposable, and very difficult to stop.
The important part is that they are talking about dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), not the typical solar panels you put on your house.
DSSCs are attractive because they are very easy and cheap to manufacture, and flexible. But they degrade fast with UV light, and the expected gains in protecting them have not been made. If their life could be extended to a usable amount they would offer an even lower cost option than already extremely cheap conventional solar cells, and open up some new applications.
Who cares that someone could could communicate directly with the worlds 2nd largest economy?
Yes. When I am hiring for a job where use for that skill will never, under any possible circumstances that could ever arise. Absolutely yes.
What have I been dishonest about? Quote it.
Law firm should make its own fucking movie instead of trying to sponge off Disney.
It's more entertaining than the original! No cat torturing, for one.
That kind of thinking got us stuck with COBOL
Doesn't seem unreasonable. Support Windows 7 with security patches. No need for things like driver or feature updates, just fixes for known security flaws.
It was never really about the capability of the hardware to run Windows 11, it was about Microsoft's desire to cut costs by not having to support it. Every supported configuration has to be tested, and if issues are found relating to 10 year old drivers, they have to be fixed.
What we really need is a law to set the minimum support term, say 10 years after the last official sale. For Windows 10 that would be 2031. Even that might not be enough though - both Microsoft and Apple are notorious for releasing updates that cripple performance on older hardware.
Jobs had it a few times, but he usually just had a backup device ready to switch over to. I recall it at least once with a Mac, and famously with I think an iPhone where be blamed the large number of WiFi devices in the room.
I think that's incredibly reasonable otherwise you're just saying "charter schools do better because the system is set in their favor versus public schools" and so welcome to the issue people have with charter schools. If they can't compete on an even playing field then they shouldn't get public funding at the expense of the public schools who have to operate with those rules. We already have private schools if you want to not play with those rules.
As a parent, I absolutely want my kid to go to a successful school, and definitely want him going to a school with things set in its favour. Why wouldn't I? Fuck the "even playing field". I want my kid to have advantages. The more, the better.
For someone with such strong opinions you seem entirely unaware of the other side of arguments. Not good epistemic reasoning sir.
Oh well.
Only if one had such need (concerning Mandarin).
I venture a guess, most Americans don't.
I remember a guy putting Mandarin on his resume for a job for which I was hiring. My only thought was "who the fuck cares?"
Same guy claimed he knew 10,000 software applications. I flirted with inviting him for an interview just to ask him to name all 10,000. I decided I had better things to do that day.
War is dumb, but giving bullies free reign is dumber.
Yes, Iran and Vietnam were probably mistakes, but nobody said conflicts are easy nor clear.
> There is no exception here. Teachers are to teach what is in the published curriculum
If the curriculum limits answers to certain questions for religious reasons than it's in violation of the separation clause.
> It can be a matter of health,
I'm sure the evil GOP will try to twist their argument into being about health or the like, but underlying it's religion trying to camouflage itself, like how Intelligent Design tried to disguise creationism as science. It's bearing False Witness and thus should be punished via an elevator to Hell. Jesus can read GOP's evil minds.
Remember to say hello to your bank teller.
