I’ve heard that before, and would be a fan of making it illegal in America as well, there’s a strong argument that doing so would improve the quality of American schools significantly.

The idea being that if rich children go to public schools then the rich will be more focused on improving public school instead of attempting to defund it

Part of the book is that everything is slower, it took them weeks to get to the planet from where they met, and Rocky had already spent time retro fitting graces ship to let him live there. (they did not go to the planet with the intention of sampling it, they were just going to sample the line and orbit the planet as an easy way to get close to the line)

It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I think they considered the danger relatively low for the ship with their plan to stay high up and were more focused on “maybe we’ll lose the bucket risks” and didn’t want to go back to rocky ship until they were done because travel time and stuff.

I don’t think it will make enough difference, but RAG stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation.

There’s a few ways to do it, but basically it’s a way add extra information to the conversation. By default the model only knows what it generates, plus what is in the conversation. RAG adds extra information to the mix.

The simplest approach is to scan the conversation for keywords and add information based on them.

So you ask “what is the capital of France” and instead of the model answering/hallucinating by itself, your app could send the full Wikipedia page for France along with your question, and the model will almost always return the correct answer from the Wikipedia page and hallucinate much less. In practice it gets a lot more complicated and I’m not up to date on recent RAG but the idea is the same.

It’s not new tech, Planes only know when radar locks happen because the radar ping changes to be faster and more targetted, you can’t detect a heat seeker locking onto a motor. It’s much shorter range and easier to fool if you’re planning on it than radar, since it won’t see the heat over the horisen at the distance radar guided missiles get launched at, but as long as the plane has jet engines it can’t hide from heat seeking missiles well

Pretty much, thermals require being much closer and are only good from certain directions, so the stealth is entirely focused against radar missiles that can be shot from far out of sight and don’t need to be behind the enemy

I see, I misread their site. Still, that seems very fair

Agreed, and having heard of them for the first time today, their payment plan seems incredibly reasonable, crediting us for unused monthly plan credits means it’s basically pay as you go with a limit to avoid surprise bills, while avoiding the feeling of overpaying because I’m not using a service enough

The Romans had that technology too, the day was split into 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night, no matter the time of year

The trouble is just volume and time, even just reading through the description and “proof it works” would take a few minutes, and if you’re getting 10s of these a day it can easily eat up time to find the ones worth reviewing. (and these volunteers are working in their free time after a normal work day, so wasting 15 or 30 minutes out of the volunteers one or two hours of work is throwing away a lot of time.

Plus, when volunteering is annoying the volunteers stop showing up which kills projects

I totally am, thanks

Yeah, there are many variations but it’s taboo enough that the closest to a major sect I can think of is that Catholics have additional books.

But fun fact, one of the founding fathers (I think Ben Franklen) made a very short version that took out all the history or magic and just left being the laws and rules to follow

That’s weird, to everyone else it looks like Russia wanted a war to feed it’s mic and created one

They make the plan as a training exercise, not something they actually think will happen, but if they ask a new planner to plan a war with China he’s probably thought a lot about it and you learn more about what plans he’s read than what unique and out of the box thinking he has, if you ask him to make plans for zombie outbreak or idaho rebelling or an alien invasion in Montana you get unique answers, so they have thousands of plans that no one ever reads again but it’s less competence and more " 1999 q4 training exercise"

The real problem is the system operates on an expectation you will wave the right to a speedy trial, and once waved its my non lawyer understanding you can’t reassert it. So they push you to wave it, additionally you and your lawyer often wants it waved too because the government has as much time as they want to prepare their case before your arrest but you and your lawyer are playing catch up so more time means you’re more prepared for trial.

If I recall correctly, it’s actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented “white, Hispanic”.

You probably can make it believe your it’s owner, but that only matters for your conversation and it doesn’t have control over itself so it can’t give you anything interesting, maybe the prompt they use at the start of every chat before your input

He also had every legal right to download those articles

Not a new Yorker, but it’s my understanding most modern cars do have a govener kick in and limit the speed. Usually somewhere around 110, so not practically useful, but the cap does exist

It’s more complicated than it should be, only Congress can declare we are at war, however over the past 200 years they have passed laws allowing the president to do things before that vote out of a sense of being flexible and Congress being slow , and keep allowing more and more things, I think currently the president can do almost anything with the military so long as Congress leaders are told and they then can vote to stop it, instead of voting to approve it.

But to address your main question, most bullets are not magnetic. Some are, in which case idk how the mri would impact them. But most would fire as normal
