It's become rather clear from the local LLM communities catching up that there is no moat. Everyone is still just barely figuring out how this nifty data structures produce such a powerful emergent behavior, there isn't any truly

Have you....used any of the video generators? Nothing they create make any goddamn sense, they're a step above those fake acid trip simulators.

The real gem is the answer at the bottom about doing the same thing with a bit of transmission line you treat as a capacitor.

We'll find out I suppose, the Iranian government is currently seeking the answer to that question experimentally.

They absolutely did, and yet still lost both wars horribly.

The American military is designed to operate away from its shores. One hunting rifle round into the transformer outside of the bases and they're trucking in fuel for generators, a few rounds into the fuel trucks and they have no power

The American military couldn't handle rice farmers or goat herders, they sure as fuck can't handle the most armed country in history. The question is how many people will side with them vs reality.

I understand what you're saying, but we as a society need to have some sort of baseline above the law and order view of the world. I know a lot of people are either too stupid or too tied up in the propaganda machine but we DEEPLY nee

Reading the drive is a mechanical process so it would be constantly making noise and wear out components

Either way, you'd need to jam several with quite a bit of power
132.
by HNisCIS 10mo ago
This assumes you're jamming very close to the dish. The trouble with jamming is you have to deal with the inverse square law so you really can't deny very much area. If they have a fleet of hundreds of high power modern directio

by HNisCIS 10mo ago
While LoRa (the underlying protocol) isn't particularly EW resistant, it can theoretically handle a fair amount of jamming because of its insane processing gain. It is fairly easy to geolocate, but the equipment to do that is quite

Ah so because they're black people and they're already near _some_ pollution, we can just add _more_ pollution since they won't notice. /s because some of you are fucking psychopaths

By that logic you should be charged licensing fees to post a product review online
136.
by HNisCIS 10mo ago
I despise that licensing is a thing in video games. They're an art form and you should be able to depict whatever you want. I don't care if Porsche, John Deere or Sig Sauer get their feelings hurt because someone made art.

We could cause the same change with reasonable public transit. Maybe driverless trucks but I think we're a long ways from that still, people aren't going to accept a tanker of gasoline flying down the highway with nobody driving

What do you think it implies?

by HNisCIS 10mo ago
We are once again wildly overstating the capabilities of LLMs. They'll cause some minor economic rearrangement in the next ten years but slightly better search isn't going to cause mass unemployment any time soon. This is just p

There are plenty of opportunities but many rely on what are effectively "zero days" (some actually are) that aren't suitable for posting on a public forum. Rather, go find leftist groups and get vetted to participate with the

Yeah, it was kind of a case of both. Signal was strictly an sms replacement, it used to overlay and replace the sms app on Android. Matrix was designed to work more like telegram where it was supposed to be more standalone and fully featu

I'll preface by saying that I would prefer fully decentralized/p2p systems to take over, that's said... Their arguments against the middle ground (federation) made no sense. Yes, some current implementations are flawed in th

by HNisCIS 10mo ago
There were no good alternatives at the time. They were competing largely with Telegram and Whatsapp so basically anything was seen as an improvement. Since then Signal has gained popularity and set a much more robust standard for implement

Simplex is also going down the crypto drain, they're starting their own coin.

It's an outlier because typically the comms cycle is very fast and only a single cycle. The radios are also quite bad and there isn't room for errors that you'd normally correct naturally in the context of a longer conversati

Well, Congress renewed the Patriot act so I don't have a lot of faith. Personally I'm starting to think that all of Congress, including aides, should get cycled out all at once periodically so that their internal culture of hatin

Time to wiretap all of Congress and then have a bot post it all to mastodon...

Seconding "dismiss with prejudice", it's a concept in US legal proceedings to keep a prosecutor from continuing to pursue a case and it would make a lot of sense in the context of the EU. It seems like it's a common pro
