Not every possible thing has real situations where it's better. There are legitimately terrible solutions to problems, that are dominated by better ones in every situation.

Like this, for example.

It's possible, it would just be _very_ dumb. It'd also turn into just...shooting them all down, restrictions of who anything is over wouldn't survive.

It could only ever increase by the surface area of the satellite lens things. It'll be a rounding error compared to the surface area of Earth (or compared to the effect of greenhouse gasses over the time period you're setting up these things).

Is it ever, ever going to be cheaper or easier or more effective than just launching a missile? Seems...unlikely just on the face of it.

That would be fairly nonsense. There's _very_ few orbits that can stick over a particular place, and it's only places on the equator. We'd be giving up 99+% of useful orbits.

Thanks! Nice findings.

Is the output, that others can use, the research and findings, or is there a tool or something that came out of this that I can plug in to one of the common harnesses?

I guess that brief note in the twit is that it'll be part of that harness you're opening up in the future?

It could still be the UI for this, if they wanted to, and they just implement the guts behind it with that in mind. It's not everything, but the UI is still something you can ~skip.

> Is it really false?

Even your own analogy for it is buying a lottery ticket.

Does buying a lottery ticket "lead to success"? Only if your picture of what that looks like focuses on only the winners.

Is that true? I don't know of really any medicine that has side effects 25 years down the line. Would we even know? We don't test new meds that long before release.

Isn't it more because meds are cheaper to test on animals and liability is much lower?

Thanks for the info, I'll track down that interview. That is an interesting strategy that I didn't consider.

It was an honest question.

I assume you're talking about "slow and expensive" like sending tens of thousand of troops to occupy at _least_ the ~entire shore around the narrow part of the Strait, indefinitely?

Yeah, shocking there's no political will for that.

Not OP but one thing you can do is boil or lightly-pan-fry (don't use any spices, or at least check that they're dog-safe, _do not_ use garlic) chicken thigh or chicken breast, cut it into small cubes and freeze it in sandwhich bags.

Dogs love it because it's just little meat cubes. Thaw it before you give them.

You can do the same thing with hotdogs.

I haven't done this model yet, but comfyui will definitely support it and I've found it a nice interface once you get used to it. Copy/paste a workflow to start with if you're lost.

AI is actually useful, in the strict sense. It can do things. If you consider its eventual effects good or bad for humanity is fair either way, but it's still different from NFTs or the "metaverse" nonsense. It's a categorically different thing.

If Iran was in more pain than the USA, they wouldn't be getting $300 billion, sanctions relief and ongoing fees for the Strait. That's how wars work.

They're getting favorable terms because the USA can't win this war as it was started.

Stupid question: does the computer or whatever the monitor is hooked up to need to know to do something special to then show those colors, or it's just normal rgb color levels and in a less-good-color-space monitor those would have been shifted to less accurate colors?

What does sorting have to do with violating p != np?

The common bound on sorting is you can't do better than O(n lg n) worst-case, but that is strictly only for comparison sorts anyway.

Really? Why not. From the benchmarks at least it's a pretty decent small model.
