Sometimes when a defense contractor and military branch love each other very much, they do a special hug, called an engineering and manufacturing development contract.
Fire-hose propaganda is not for people who pay attention to current events. It's kinda like those scam emails with the bad grammar: they're trying to filter away the tuned-in to get to their core audience.
The B25's service life is closer to the introduction of the A10 than the F22 or F35.
This is just the "Attack Helicopter" joke with extra steps.
The fact that neither of those ships sunk after the big girl decided to take a nap is a testament to the might of American shipyards.
I'd say that an agency that would allow it's embarrassments to be made public while keeping their victories secret is a classic Homer move.
Conspiracy people think the CIA is behind everything like Palpatine. But when the truth gets declassified they actually operate like Homer Simpson.
The consumer choice center is a Washington/ Brussels think tank and lobbying group. They are passionate about free markets and consumer choice and oppose taxes and regulations on things like petroleum products, tobacco, and sugary/fatty foods.
I don't have an opinion on the "Kids" act, just consider the source.
They're still rolling it out. It's only in preview builds for now, you have to register to basically participate in beta to have it by now, and that's no guarantee.
I read that one LLM was so good at detecting TB from Xrays that they reverse engineered the "black box" code hoping for some insight doctors could use. Turns out, the AI was biased toward the age of the Xray machine that took each photo because TB is more common in developing countries that have older equipment. Womp Womp.
Ha ha, very clever... money is just made up. But wait, so are borders, sovereignty, language, art, moral and commercial value, the law, logic, authority, human rights, culture, and government.
According to Jacques Lacan, experience itself is a fabrication; the worst thing that can happen to a person is to come into contact with the real.
Youtuber Perun joked this week that the Houthis had done more to disrupt international shipping than the Russians had done in the Black Sea.
Democracy and technology? You're thinking of Taiwan.

Finally caught a *grammar cop doing a typo in the wild. Pure joy.
You really think that infrastructure IT is dumb unless it can brush off a Stuxnet-like attack by the CIA and Mosad? Most RR traffic signals in the US are run with mechanical logic, physical switches connected to circuits closed by steel wheels on steel tracks. Do you really want a "move fast and break things" tech bro to update all this stuff for us?
All kinds of infrastructure uses ancient software because it's reliable. Updating it just to protect from hackers causing damage is likely to cause that damage unintentionally while doing little to protect from hackers anyhow.
When you're creating something new, production is research. We can't expect Dr. Frankenstein to be unbiased, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have insights worth knowing.
LLM are pretty new, how many experts even exist outside of the industry?
Standards for journalism are impossibly low. Standards for media criticism don't exist.
People who know more than me have pointed out that the the hole in the fuselage and the plug found on the ground don't show the kind of damage you'd expect if the bolts were present and secure.
So them being absent entirely is consistent with the publicly available evidence.
I tried to replace my sister's serpentine belt a couple summers ago. Simple, basic maintenance, right? Turns out, the only way to turn the tensioner, was from underneath the car. I'm still mad about it.
So it's OK because other companies have been shitty, besides Tyler Durden warned us?
But I give you credit, this is the first time I've seen Fight Club unironically used as a source outside the Incel community.
The major hack may be the worst attack to hit the NFT community in its history, with millions of dollars in potential losses.
The way I read the article, the "worth millions" is the sum of the ransom demand.
The funny part is that the exploit is in the "smart" contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.
They had to throw away most of what it produced but there was gold among the garbage.
The researchers started by sketching out the problem they wanted to solve in Python, a popular programming language. But they left out the lines in the program that would specify how to solve it. That is where FunSearch comes in. It gets Codey to fill in the blanks—in effect, to suggest code that will solve the problem.
A second algorithm then checks and scores what Codey comes up with. The best suggestions—even if not yet correct—are saved and given back to Codey, which tries to complete the program again. “Many will be nonsensical, some will be sensible, and a few will be truly inspired,” says Kohli. “You take those truly inspired ones and you say, ‘Okay, take these ones and repeat.’”
After a couple of million suggestions and a few dozen repetitions of the overall process—which took a few days—FunSearch was able to come up with code that produced a correct and previously unknown solution to the cap set problem, which involves finding the largest size of a certain type of set. Imagine plotting dots on graph paper. The cap set problem is like trying to figure out how many dots you can put down without three of them ever forming a straight line.
At a quiet cemetery in eastern China, bereaved father Seakoo Wu pulls out his phone, places it on a gravestone and plays a recording of his son.
Grok has been launched as a benefit to Twitter’s (now X’s) expensive X Premium+ subscription tier, where those who are the most devoted to the site, and in turn, usual...
We demonstrate a situation in which Large Language Models, trained to be helpful, harmless, and honest, can display misaligned behavior and strategically deceive their users about this behavior without being instructed to do so. Concretely, we deploy GPT-4 as an agent in a realistic, simulated environment, where it assumes the role of an autonomous stock trading agent. Within this environment, the model obtains an insider tip about a lucrative stock trade and acts upon it despite knowing that insider trading is disapproved of by company management. When reporting to its manager, the model consistently hides the genuine reasons behind its trading decision.

Scientists have created tiny living robots from human cells that can move around in a lab dish and may one day be able to help heal wounds or damaged tissue, according to a new study.
"robots" engendered from human trachea cells have shown surprising behavior in their ability to self-assemble, move, and "heal" damaged neurons.
Prophetic is developing technology to induce lucid dreams, in which CEOs can practice for board meetings and architects can design buildings while asleep.
