It’s not new tech, Planes only know when radar locks happen because the radar ping changes to be faster and more targetted, you can’t detect a heat seeker locking onto a motor. It’s much shorter range and easier to fool if you’re planning on it than radar, since it won’t see the heat over the horisen at the distance radar guided missiles get launched at, but as long as the plane has jet engines it can’t hide from heat seeking missiles well
Pretty much, thermals require being much closer and are only good from certain directions, so the stealth is entirely focused against radar missiles that can be shot from far out of sight and don’t need to be behind the enemy
I see, I misread their site. Still, that seems very fair
Agreed, and having heard of them for the first time today, their payment plan seems incredibly reasonable, crediting us for unused monthly plan credits means it’s basically pay as you go with a limit to avoid surprise bills, while avoiding the feeling of overpaying because I’m not using a service enough
The Romans had that technology too, the day was split into 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night, no matter the time of year
The trouble is just volume and time, even just reading through the description and “proof it works” would take a few minutes, and if you’re getting 10s of these a day it can easily eat up time to find the ones worth reviewing. (and these volunteers are working in their free time after a normal work day, so wasting 15 or 30 minutes out of the volunteers one or two hours of work is throwing away a lot of time.
Plus, when volunteering is annoying the volunteers stop showing up which kills projects
I totally am, thanks
Yeah, there are many variations but it’s taboo enough that the closest to a major sect I can think of is that Catholics have additional books.
But fun fact, one of the founding fathers (I think Ben Franklen) made a very short version that took out all the history or magic and just left being the laws and rules to follow
Your system does sound more straightforward.
Unfortunately various groups have historically opposed changes to make it simplier in the us ( some for dumb reasons some for valid reasons).
The main issue is almost all our documents are effectively voluntary…
Birth certificate is the one you’re most likely to have, managed by the state (people who don’t give birth in hospitals sometimes skip this, which makes everything harder in life)
The parents should also file for a federal social security card using the birth certificate, but again some people skip this and it makes their kids lives hard.
Most people who can drive will get a state issued drivers license at 16, the most recent standard has a label to identify if you are a citizen or not (proven by showing your birth certificate or social security card when getting the id)
All male citizens are required to register with the government at 18 for the draft, but I don’t recall getting any id from it - but mentioning it as the only time I think citizens are required to do something for the feds because they are citizens, the other mandatory federal item is paying taxes, but residents also pay taxes.
If you want to vote you register with the city / county, prove citizenship to them, and get issued a voter id, and about half the country doesn’t do this.
I don’t know the exact percent, but most Americans don’t have a passport. Traveling between States is cheaper than internationally, and within a half day or day long flight you can reach whatever vacation activity you’d want.
There are a bunch of less common id cards granted by state governments, such as weapon carry ids, hunting permits, a dedicated state id card, etc. But these aren’t standardized and not every state accepts other state ids fully (in particular the weapon permits are often not accepted). And a common issue comes up when voting laws require id because the politicians often will choose ids that their voters already have and hope enough opposition doesn’t get that form by the election to make the election easier (North Carolina Republican party lost a lawsuit recently because there were emails where they specifically asked which ids their voters were more likely to have then tried to make only those the accepted ids).
In practice the federal government uses the social security number as a federal id, but it’s a terrible bad idea that has caused many issues and we passed a law requiring government agencies stop doing it
I wish it was simplier, but most people don’t care and any discussion of changing it has people panic that their id won’t be valid for an upgrade, fearing they would have to spend a frustrating amount of time and money finding or replacing their original birth certificate in order to get a federal id or deal with a slow process (I’ve known people who had to wait in line multiple work days to get state ids issued, although that was rare, I only stood in line 2 hours).
Probably more information than you wanted, but it’s complex and I just kept going lol
That’s weird, to everyone else it looks like Russia wanted a war to feed it’s mic and created one
That’s true to an extend, but the interactions are only useful for training if you can mark it as good / bad etc (which is why sometimes apps will ask you if they were useful). But the ‘best’ training data like professional programming etc is usually sold at a premium tier with a promise not to use your data for training (since corporations don’t want their secrets getting out).
They’re further left than not voting
I think the main point is that the Democrats are all those things, and yet still more effective than you at pushing the country left, so people support them because it’s better than supporting Republicans
I’ve always felt we should have one judge from each court district, voted on by judges from that district. Districts already are equal population size, cover the entire country, and judges are better able to determine if someone’s qualified on law matters than the general public, which is important to prevent a populist making promises they can’t deliver on since these people would know the limits of judges power and responsibility
The real problem is the system operates on an expectation you will wave the right to a speedy trial, and once waved its my non lawyer understanding you can’t reassert it. So they push you to wave it, additionally you and your lawyer often wants it waved too because the government has as much time as they want to prepare their case before your arrest but you and your lawyer are playing catch up so more time means you’re more prepared for trial.
If I recall correctly, it’s actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented “white, Hispanic”.
You probably can make it believe your it’s owner, but that only matters for your conversation and it doesn’t have control over itself so it can’t give you anything interesting, maybe the prompt they use at the start of every chat before your input
He also had every legal right to download those articles
Not a new Yorker, but it’s my understanding most modern cars do have a govener kick in and limit the speed. Usually somewhere around 110, so not practically useful, but the cap does exist
I don’t think it will make enough difference, but RAG stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation.
There’s a few ways to do it, but basically it’s a way add extra information to the conversation. By default the model only knows what it generates, plus what is in the conversation. RAG adds extra information to the mix.
The simplest approach is to scan the conversation for keywords and add information based on them.
So you ask “what is the capital of France” and instead of the model answering/hallucinating by itself, your app could send the full Wikipedia page for France along with your question, and the model will almost always return the correct answer from the Wikipedia page and hallucinate much less. In practice it gets a lot more complicated and I’m not up to date on recent RAG but the idea is the same.
