…that was the point?

They’re making this argument about Ukraine, and yet are perfectly fine with the US on their doorstep.

Shows that this isn’t about the US, but about getting stuff from Russia.

US military aid to Seoul, on the other hand, is a brilliant strategy….

I grew up in the cold war. I’ve done the drills. I know both what the fear of an all-out nuclear holocaust is, and I know that the reality will be something entirely different.

Did you not see what happened to Russia’s latest Satan II ICBM? Thankfully that one wasn’t armed.

That’s a good line to use on Putin.

Realistically, if Putin uses the nuclear codes, this is what happens:

A few warheads in Russia explode in their silos and the government blames the West. A bunch of other warheads are harmlessly shot down. A few actually find their targets and a few million people are wiped out. The west retaliates and suddenly the war is over.

BICS then becomes ascendant in global power, China claims Taiwan and the Philippines and possibly Japan, and Israel is wiped off the face of the earth as all sides turn it into a nuclear slag pile, killing Israelis, Palestinians and a large number of Lebanese and Syrians in the bargain.

Then things adjust to the new normal and economies rebuild, with the noted absence of Russia and Belarus.

The good news is that a lot of banks now offer free credit monitoring, alerts and controls because they know your data has already been breached. This allows you to, via your bank’s interface, take control of your credit monitoring instead of handing it off to an agency that profits from gobbling up whatever it can know about you.

Check with your bank to see what tools they have available for you.

Spot-on.

I spend a lot of time training people how to properly review code, and the only real way to get good at it is by writing and reviewing a lot of code.

With an LLM, it trains on a lot of code, but it does no review per-se… unlike other ML systems, there’s no negative and positive feedback systems in place to improve quality.

Unfortunately, AI is now equated with LLM and diffusion models instead of machine learning in general.

So… the winning strategy is to overestimate them?

Something Chuck Norris could support….

Or… Chinese robot industry struggles to develop high quality products.

All depends on how you spin it.

The phone isn’t going to end up in China from people passing them hand to hand; they’re going to be collected somewhere and bundled for shipping in an EM-protected covering of some sort. The record of the route they took right up until they go silent will be available for every phone. Looking at an aggregate map of this data should give the police a pretty good idea of what’s going on.

I suspect the difficulty is that the police need to get a data release from each individual involved and then get Google/Apple and/or the owners to voluntarily share the historical location data with the police… which most people aren’t willing to do out of an abundance of caution.

Doesn’t even have to be new; I’ve got one at ~/Downloads in my fstab.

Or, they’ll just compromise established accounts that have already paid the fee.

GPTs are designed with translation in mind, so I could see it being extremely useful in providing me instruction on a topic in a non-English native language.

But they haven’t been around long enough for the novelty factor to wear off.

It’s like computers in the 1980s… people played Oregon Trail on them, but they didn’t really help much with general education.

Fast forward to today, and computers are the core of many facets of education, allowing students to learn knowledge and skills that they’d otherwise have no access to.

GPTs will eventually go the same way.

In reality, you can use any blogging solution; they can be hosted on I2P or TOR or WriteFreely or even Lemmy. A Lemmy community is essentially a P2P microblogging solution if used that way.

Then, just sign all your posts on the platform you choose.

Just use any p2p blogging solution and gpg sign all your posts?

The part where the headline is supposedly about the first time humans have experienced it?

The content is fine… the formatting and headline are atrocious.

Fuel? I’d go with “implement step one of” myself.

The headline here has no mention of wet bulb?

“For the first time, humans were subjected to a deadly combination of heat and humidity.”

The article is about the first formalized test measuring the relationship between heat and humidity on thermal management in the body, mostly using a single fit thirty year old male. It’s not about how the first human subjected to wet bulb conditions handled them, but about an improved understanding of the relationship of heat and humidity on thermal management of humans.

…one step at a time.

Wait… Star Wars has feet?

So… only slightly related to the headline?

Headline was obviously false from the start, but it turns out it was just clickbait?
