Almost every political idea is believed by some crackpot in almost every country at almost every time. The existence of the idea isn't interesting. Even people attempting to spread the idea isn't interesting. The ground upon which it spreads fast is. Ideas spread exponentially.

Science is about what is true and what is not. And whenever what is true causes someone with power harm, it becomes political. The fascist "truth matters less than power" is opposed to uncontrolled science.

e^((ln(30)+ln(120))/2) Because that is just the geometric mean (!) ln((e^30+e^120)/2) = -ln(2) +30 + ln(1+e^90)= 119.3 (aka boring) but a decent max approximation. ln(sqrt(e^30*e^120)) is 75 RMS (p=2 mean) is 87.5; p=0.5 is 67.5 p=infinity mean is just max.

You care about the force needed to maintain your speed; from that, the power, and from that the energy needed for a distance. It ends up being proportional to d v^2 energy at reasonably high speeds.

Power ~ v^3, distance = v t, energy = power t, so energy ~ v^3 t = v^3 t distancr / t = v^2 distsnce This is at high velocities; at low velocities it ends up being energy ~ v distance instead, as the air resistance changes equations as you go faster.

I am just trying to say that LLMs are doing more than just spewing words in the general subject area. It is possible for words to be attached to meanings, and some crude "reasoning" occur, especially when the input text deals with that problem. But the reversi skills of the LLMs still suck.

Instead of faithfully noting the byte stream frequencies, it would say "could I shave off some storage by getting it close?". Then the reconstructed output would diverge from the input and the model would shrink sharply. LLM are large Markov chains that lossily compress the internet.

This is true, but it is also true the LZW compression generates a mathematical model of byte sequences based on their probability of occurrence within the input stream, notes this down, and these notes can then be used to reconstruct the stream in toto flawlessly. I used to joke about lossy LZW.

The GOP has no intention of allowing the democratic will of the people remove them from power now or ever. This is openly part of their ideology, and they have been purging members who don't align on this for years now. A democracy cannot survive an anti-democratic party with 40%+ support.

Interfering in US elections may be morally wrong, but why would it be illegal in Canada?

I mean, the USA is a write off. You and your fellow citizens failed their country. Blaming politicians for a moral failure of the entire voting block is yet more evidence. I support Canada in building a nuclear deterrent to defend against the death thrashings of your failed democracy and empire.

The GOP does not intend on letting democracy vote them out.

Loss of africa would be another axis boxcar roll, but it would take even more than one more boxcar to tip the war. Either that, or the USA deciding it wasn't worth fighting. The "adults in the room" in both Japan and the Nazi's bet on the USA not bothering to fight or getting tired.

Not sure lost is right; Axis winning WW2 was a gamble of having to roll boxcars repeatedly. The allies victory was predicated on buying enough time to win. The industrial capacity of the USA dwarfed the entire rest of the world, and it had near complete internal supply lines, and ocean moats.

You can't even typo wrong, what a sufferer from imposter syndrome you are.

They are anti-women activist women. If they don't hate each other it is off brand.

Set up behind your firewall a completely unsecured computer with banking records (passwords whatever) and the like worth a few thousand dollars "accidentally" placed in a discarded folder. Bitcoins, the file lost in a recycle bin that never emptied. Watch said account for being drained.

Naturopathy. But they call it homeopathy because that sounds fancier or something. Sure, you can boil willow bark and make a painkiller. That is just aspirin with impurities. The same is true sadly of stuff like melotonin suppliments; poor control means other crap can be added.

Barack, when one party with near 50% support abandons the love of democracy, you no longer have a functioning democracy. You have at best a barely contained revolt. "A house divided against itself, cannot stand." The GOP has abandoned democracy.

US law permits an autocrat to overthrow democracy. The only defence is the blood of patriots and the honour of the people and the love of democracy of politicians. The modern GOP has no honour and hates democracy.

People opposed slavery even 1000s of years ago. Modern standards start by considering the opinion of the slaves to matter. The ruling class considered the population disposible until roughly napoleon, who showed the power of a population-scale army and economy.

Unless you do something, the US imperial order is over. Complaining about it isn't doing something.

Roman era steam engines lacked materials science and manufacturing precision to build one that didn't suck. The feedback loop between better mass production and better machines can't be skipped. Windmills, waterwheels, mechanical looms, sawmills: all are precursors.
