A centenarian F-35 "divine wind" is the obvious solution - a descendant of the WWII kamikaze corps. I can hear the screams of "Tennoheika Banzai" (!Long live the Emperor!") as they deliver death to their enemies:

The enterprise took a wrong turn when they decided that it is the industry's goal to be the gatekeepers of intelligence, when no one could define or measure intelligence. Some AI developers instead became the gatekeepers of something a

usef-says "...future models, if development continues, that may theoretically be smarter than everyone" This would be a good time to pull out a tool to measure "smarter" (intelligence). Unfortunately we don't seem

Well, the southeastern USA is going through a Renaissance of explosive growth b/c it is the intent to industrialize that region and recapture the USA lead in manufacturing. Maybe we can get you a job, dgellow, since your country is dwi

I apologize: the first bullet of my post above should have been three separated line items instead of two. This has apparently caused great confusion. As usual, none of you spotted the error and, of course, several misinterpreted my scr

All I want to know is why are Parisian baguettes so good? From this article I get that they are a low-gluten bread. But can that be all? I've always suspected a secret variety of wheat. In all my life and travels I've never had br
