All the Dems had to do was run a viable candidate.
Name one way in which Harris was worse than Trump.
Sure Biden should have dropped out. He was losing his marbles and unfit for office. But the republicans didn't care about that (despite the endless whining) because they voted in Trump who is losing his marbles and unfit for office.
Except that left overreach led to Trump.
What left overreach? I mean real things not random shit made up by Republicans.
I suspect a lot of them knew he was lying, but the Democrats are so fucking useless that they just wanted to blow the whole thing up in the hope of something better emerging at the end.
Maybe? But I don't think that means people aren't massive fucking morons. Just blowing shit up almost always makes it worse, but ti's sure easier than engaging in politics, joining parties, voting in selection processes etc. I think a lot of people know things are shit and just loved that Trump would punch down and hurt someone else more.
But notice how it's always "both sides are useless and shit", so I voted for the one that's also massively incompetent, corrupt and racist, because I reckon they'll fix everything.
Nope, we in the educated middle
That "middle" is doing an awful lot of very heavy lifting.
You're right on the fringe with your endless, mindless ranting about "woke". You can't even define what it is other than a random miscellaneous grab bag of things that are annoying you today.
But it was a lie,[...]
And people aren't really sure still which is worse
that's because people are morons. They didn't figure out it was a lie first time. Somehow after living the first one in real time and Trump leaving very unpopular they figured it wasn't a lie again. If people haven't figured out which is worse they have their head so far up their ass they might be able to see brown tinted daylight from the wrong end.
I can see why you don't want competition from other hateful demented people on the rampage.
That is like me hoping I'll win the lottery. I don't play.
Well done, have a cookie! Unfortunately you failed to take the next step. If population density isn't uniform then literally none of the overall population density based arguments make sense.
Those areas to dense for even EVs? Perfect fit for efficient, high quality public transit, and good pedestrian and bike infrastructure because you have a population density of higher than inner London.
In order to know which weight to change, don't you need to understand the complete model first
Basically: no.
In the most straightforward case of training with SGD on labelled data, you don't need to understand the model, you just know what the output is, what it should be and what the differential is with respect to all the weights. Then you take a step in that direction. No understanding needed.
The same holds for other cases. Let's say you get a data set of things the network does badly on in a certain way (like weird repetitions). You can run the network and see which activations consistently pop up with high values relative to a control set. You can then go and down weight them which can suppress the behaviour, for example.
Not read the paper yet but those are two examples.
Unless you have offstreet parking
The USA is so spread out that everyone needs to drive gasoline cars everywhere yet somehow so compact no one has a drive to charge an EV.
Computers did not, steam engine did not, cars did not.
I don't think you are right about that. They've all caused absolutely massive changes. Steam engines drove the industrial revolution.
lol oops trying to avoid the lameness filter which hates the Nahtzees. We all know who invented the modern highway!
Apparently slashdot doesn't like mention of the third empire, Nahtzees or Hartler.
It's ironic that you complain about the military while using the internet; which is based on the work done by the US military when it developed ARPANET sixty years ago.
And the web was invented by civilians working on basic science research.
Food preservation
People have been working on food preservation for millennia. Refrigeration via artificial means (i.e. not using natural ice) was invented by civilians (one cycle even invented by Einstein). Freeze drying apparently is very old, since you can do it in very cold climates using the weather. Modern freeze drying was invented by a civilian but it a heavily adopted by the military from near obscurity.
GPS: sure.
Radar: sure, the military put a lot of work in, but it didn't start there.
Nylon: nothing to do with the military
Epipens: autoinjectors or adrenaline? Autoinjectors predate military use and while they were basically the first major adopter, those ones are nothing like epipens.
And highways? You know who ELSE liked highways
Superglue... kinda, but only kinda.
And duct tape, sure, but a lot of the heavy lifting, like pressure sensitive adhesives and tearable cloth tape was done in the civilian world. But that specific formulation with the plastic coating? OK sure.
Most of these things were initially developed without military funding. In some cases, like RADAR and GPS, the funding advanced them hugely in a short time. And in some cases it was the initial impetus for building them in America (interstates). Though in most cases this is a deeply inefficient way to go about it.
Yay another perpetual motion machine!
If you hand me a working reactionless thruster[*] I can hand you back a perpetual motion machine. If you don't believe in free energy then you cannot believe in reactionless drives either[+].
[*]more efficient than a photon rocket.
[+]Well for certain values of "you". There are some people here who will just screech invective when presented with basic physic, so it turns out a person can continue to believe hi angel'o'sphere
Do you think every CVE out there has a fired human associated with it? In order to have a sensible discussion about how LLMs relate to security relative to people you need to be realistic about people.
