The movie was good too. I haven't seen it in years, but from memory: Gordo! Who's the best pilot you ever saw? -- You're lookin' at him! Loan me a stick of Beemans. Light this candle! It just blew! No bucks, no Buck Roge

I don't want "the other side" to fail, and I absolutely don't wan the U.S. to fail when they are in power. I want the U.S. to succeed, and for "the other side" to be competent and fair.

I think the 100% certain and always right scenario invalidates the calculation. In that outcome you know nothing about my (over) confidence level when I am wrong. You should either return NA in that circumstance, or keep asking questions un

Wait, cites on the "US supplied Iranian protestors with weapons" bit? Other than Trump? It sounds ridiculous to question whether he's telling the truth, but here we are...

Wait, so roughly is it rewarding being confident when correct, and penalizing being confident when wrong? Meaning that the highest score is only achievable if you answer fully confident true or false, and get all 10 correct? If so, isn&#x27

Is the terrible idea "always-on AI glasses" or is it "giving all the data they collect to Meta with no proper regulation in place"? My phone and laptop already collect a ton of data that is more than I would like to shar

They should have trained plumbers to be astronauts instead of training astronauts to be plumbers. (Armageddon reference) But seriously, although I guess it’s fair to say that errors will occur, still: they couldn’t get the plumbing right?

I didn’t say it was original with the U.S., just that it has been their strategy for some time. And the U.S. has been prepping/testing lasers on boats for some time. Combine rapid fire/quick kill with good radar and you have (airb

I am not a military expert, but the US theory of war has for a long time started with and was based on airspace dominance/control, and drones/cheap missiles put a serious dent in achieving that. Maybe laser weapons put the balance

That's just an unreal characterization that plays into the hands of the "red" team. One side has put up presidents and congressional leadership that worked (mostly, I'm not saying they're perfect) within the traditi

We're going to find that the arc of self-optimization doesn't (didn't?) point toward success, right up until it does. And at that point agents, code, etc. are going to explode.

I don't think that syntax is comparable to breaking a simple assignment across a line break. Your syntax is perfectly clear without semicolons, right?

Can anyone give a good reason why supporting syntax like: y = 2 * x - 3 is worth it?

EVs are going to be an extinction-level event for carmakers. As the buggy-makers failed to transition to making cars, and thus ceased to be, so too will automakers fail to transition to EVs, and thus end their viability as vehicle manufactu

Is there a reason not to simplify this to: corruption erodes social trust more in high-trust societies than in societies where trust is already degraded? Meaning: is the type of government actually the controlling factor, or just code for h
