Does anyone know why the regex is there? I find it hard to see how english communication is improved by removing random words.

It's interesting that the red tape is still there on the Russian side. A Ukrainian drone maker can make a new one and put it on their brave1 website straight away, Russian ones have to go through a lengthy bureaucratic procurement process. I think Russian interceptor drones still can't use explosive warheads because regulation, health and safety etc. It's quite a plus for the Ukrainians.

>Modern armies collapse when they run out of logistics

It'll be interesting to see how that goes in Ukraine where Russia has ~700k troops and the logistics are being cut by Hornet drones and similar.

Yeah pretty much here. I assumed it would be along the lines that reading social media isn't reading and only pretentious novels count.

I was trying to find the law to see how they define addictive to children in a harmful way vs in a good or ok way like reading, bicycles etc. It's easy to say one's good, one's bad but I wonder how you define it legally?

I come across her most frequently on Google Maps where the yellow pin man icon for Google Street View is replaced by a Dua Lipa icon. (Not sure if it's global - I'm in London).

Fans are pretty much like propellers and the F15 uses a turbofan and goes supersonic. It works by inlets and exhaust nozzles that slow the air the speed it up again. The only reason that might not work on an electric drone with fans and nozzles is not enough power.

Europe isn't as bad as you might think. Though they may not be no.1 in military economic or innovation they are still quite strong.

Ukraine is an example - when that oval office thing happened Trump thought he could cut aid to Ukraine and force it to surrender with a cut of the spoils to the US/him but Europe took over and since then have probably been doing better - I note Russia's largest refinery 2500 km from Ukraine blew up last night.

You don't necessarily need to be competitive with US tech to be independent. Most countries aren't as good as the US on tech but they get by.

I figure there will be some going back when Trump goes. He's an unusual president.

Ukraine have been intercepting ~90% of Russian drones which is a real dent.

They made about 100,000 interceptor drones in the last year.

>tried their spray on 18 month old mice and then dissected their brains at 20.5 months

is not the same facts as

>It all happened within weeks and lasted for months

I suspect LLM hallucination rather than different people. Or maybe I missed the bit where they tested it lasting for months?

I guess all AI writing patterns are copied from human writing. The tell is that you get patterns like that more frequently than with human writing and in odd places.

It's funny if you look at the paper https://isevjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jev... how different it is from the article. They basically tried their spray on 18 month old mice and then dissected their brains at 20.5 months to check inflammation.

I'm in central London where there were problems with that and the new diesels are hugely better. Used to be black smoke and layers of the stuff. Now not noticable. I'm not sure the figures but 10x or 100x?

Google AI has: Modern diesel engines are dramatically cleaner than older vehicles, emitting up to 95-99% fewer nitrogen oxides (NOx) and capturing up to 99% of harmful particulate matter (soot).

I quite cycling around 2006 because I got smokers cough from the clouds of smoke coming out of the busses and similar. Now it's fine. Both the new diesels being better and things going electric.

>get you sent straight to jail in Europe

I'm in the UK and no one goes to jail but it's more expensive tax wise to run the more polluting ones. As a result you don't see many.
