I think you could make AGI right now tbh. It’s not a function of intelligence. It’s just a function of stateful system mechanics. LLMs are just a big matrix. But what about a four line of code loop that looks like: ```while true: update_

I don’t know why you’re repeating that. Drones are a growing class, but I have specified several specific archetypes and drones all generally share the same basic advantage which is that they’re much cheaper than historical alternatives. If

I don’t think it’s clear at all that a CIWS system beats a large swarm of jet turbine drones. I think Ukrainian sea baby style attacks are also going to be very tricky if scaled up beyond the levels we have seen in this war. FPV drones, imo

But how many can they knock out? Patriot air defenses are extremely effective. But on some level they’re not very useful if the interceptor missiles are materially more expensive than the things they’re intercepting against a foe of equalis

Sure. But acting morally may yield strategically and utilitarianily harmful outcomes against bad faith adversaries. Personally I think this was a geopolitical blunder of Israel and western interests. The net outcome is favorable. But it cou

It’s a difficult question. Hamas’ incentives are _not_ aligned with the well being of Palestinian civilians. If we see another terror attack in several years one may have to question the reason of this line of thinking. The discourse of thi

Ehhh I think it’s all moot. These high end weapons aren’t 1000x better than 1000 cheaper weapons that cost 100000x less. How many jet powered or submersible drones can an aircraft carrier defend against?

I’m saying the fact that your brother did not commit suicide doesn’t mean life got better. Perhaps it did. I hope it did. Likely a large portion of people who get past suicide and don’t later commit suicide do feel it got better. But for a

If you ever get a chance to see sled dogs in Alaska or wherever, holy shit do those dogs ever want to pull a sled. I’ve never seen an animal so fixated.

My hand writing is poor and my handwriting with a stylus is worse but screen annotations on zoom have been life changing for me at work. I don’t really care that I cannot write legibly. Quick iteration on diagrams is king.

Or maybe your brother was guilted into suffering because you injected a greater fear into his life and your faith is fiction. Maybe your faith isn’t fiction but suicide is ok and Jesus tells him it was completely unnecessary to oppose his o

A non trivial problem is that documentation is difficult to write, search, and read. And that makes learning hard. Whereas AI makes learning easy. I’m fairly frequently impressed at how well it understands unreal engine.
