I mean it’s sucks that this guy died but it was still a successful op. 9 months of Russian offensive and they got nothing of value.

It wasn’t particularly clever. Russian command was just particularly dumb. The last Ukrainian counter offensive reclaimed vast swaths of lands. It’s not unreasonable to think they could get in range of shelling Crimea.

Yep. They’ve been very transparent about it.

Ukrainian military and third party analysts have been very clear on this for a long time. Bakhmut had little strategic value. But Russia was hellbent on taking it. So Ukraine was using it as a way to pin down Russian forces and kill them e

I suspect it will be within full Ukrainian control within less than a year. It’s not a strategic priority. And it is costly to try and take inch by inch. So Ukraine is not going to be in any rush to take it back. But I also expect the prior

You’re right in that it ought to be compared to the scale of profits, not a percentage, as many run on a loss during growth. But profit is still what matters. Including the promise of future profits. Talking of the future doesn’t help much

The accounting is not what matters. What matters is using your brain to to figure out if a fine is actually meaningful. Comparing to revenue is a stupid way to think about things. Profit is the incentive to conduct business. Not revenue. A

I’m getting pretty titled at the number of people who are ignoring everything I’m posting and claiming temperature is some unknowable thing because Knuth does not know what it is. Look at my link. This is not a concept specific to them. It’

My dude it’s not my fault if you don’t understand the concept of asking follow up questions for clarification. This isn’t like a Google search. The way you retrieve knowledge is different

Yes. I have posted both a very nice link and a complete explanation from chat gpt 3.5 itself. It’s honestly not that complicated, especially for someone who is supposed to have any sort of authoritative view in the field. I do not feel it i

Seems like a good answer. If you want a deeper answer, you should ask a follow up question. Here is my follow up answer to “can you explain it at a deeper level” > At a deeper level, the temperature parameter in generative AI models like

I don’t really care if he knows it or not. Best case he’s virtue signaling ignorance.

Temperature is a measure of capriciousness. How likely is the model to choose a token that is not “the most likely” next token. It’s not a big ask to look this up. But even if you don’t, making a point to show that you don’t know it seems b

The west is very clear that they’re not willing to allow the precedent of small scale nuclear weapons use without consequence. If Russia does this, we will massively ramp up our involvement in the war. Nuclear weapons will not actually make

Kind of buried the lede I think. The end states that tactical nukes are probably fine. Those are the ones most likely to be used. Although I think very unlikely still

Launching a single nuke that might not work is a high risk low reward gamble too. It seems very unlikely to come up

That’s literally a point I made in reverse. It’s too much work. For a good, real degree. This is not the story of a boy genius thriving on raw intelligence. I suspect this is a story of his parents manufacturing a story by figuring out how

Idk, the cynic in me wonders what he actually had to do. Because for a lot of degrees the answer is basically nothing. 5 degrees should not be possible imo. Not because you can’t master 5 subjects but because you shouldn’t have time to do 5

If you accept that as true then you also have to accept that your voice is hopelessly copyable and defense against that is futile. So it’s not really important.

Majora’s Mask is such an incredibly ambitious title. The game loop is just super cool. The aesthetic is this super interesting depressed melancholic cheerfulness of people coping with their impending death. OoT’s ambition is of course notew

Brain wave mapping to text is unique from person to person. They’re also hard to read and tend to require concentrated focus on specific patterns of conveying text (more like consciously shuffling to be understood rather than the reverse).
