We have nuclear, but a lot of Americans are concerned about nuclear for reasonable reasons. We have renewables, but those can't take up the majority capacity of a grid unless we start adding massive batteries. Then there's grid re

They get trained by state institutions usually but the program in my state is sixteen weeks. For reference, a lot of work in Afghanistan is more policing than war fighting and we trained for a year plus. The issues around policing are somew

I didn't see your reply until today, but I believe you're spot on with my understanding. Thanks for the breakdown.

Interesting that they note the power consumption and climate change impact. I believe there's a long list of folks who said this wasn't the case weeks ago.

I'm actually very lost in terms of what inflation means anymore. As far as I've been aware, inflation comes from the cost/benefit relationship that is supply and demand. For instance, housing inflation has to do with people w

I've seen pendants with an EGA, spearheads, and whatnot but not insignia . I kind of diluted this thread by talking about rank instead of insignia at first. Very different things.

It would be inflationary to anyone who doesn't get a payout, I think. That means, any country which does not get that payout and then distribute it.

I spot checked an random assortment of them and so far yes, but it only takes one wrong one to set every subsequent number off.

This is the answer I think. My partner is vegetarian and sometimes I'll eat the Beyond Chicken Nuggets because they are just that good , often better than what I can make or buy store or otherwise.

First, very cool project and a pretty novel idea to use bloom filters for this. Someone already brought up the false positive rate, which I could see getting down to zero, but is route optimization able to be a factor? The problem I'm

I know little more than what I've read about LLMs and other models. I just got it to do them again and it output them rather quickly: https://imgur.com/a/jfviCCe

That's a clever game to get it to play. Today I asked ChatGPT to give me 1000 Fibonacci numbers starting with the 2000th number and it crashed. Later I asked it the same prompt and it repeatedly gave me code to calculate the Fibonacci

Yes, military traditions are just that. They're not different for women and men.

No, I just removed it because it's not super relevant. I was a Corporal if you're curious.

The only official earring I'm aware of that was actually written into a NavMC at some point was the Black Pearl for being the lone survivor of a ship wreck.

Generally speaking in the Navy and Marine Corps we're discouraged from representing or using our rank to influence the public or gain favor. I don't go around calling myself by my rank, I'd expect a former Rear Admiral not to

This is an astonishingly bad faith take. She was in the Navy. The Navy and the Marine Corps have explicit policies about not representing your rank or using your rank for influence or gaining favor. As I said in another thread, I don't

That would be very against military tradition, so I doubt it.

HN is a vacuum with respect to understanding war. Most people here are privileged enough to have fled from war outright or to have not been participating in it. That's not to say their perspectives are without value but I'd take t

I think so. They've been through generations of fighting, from internal to external, and people are tired. Religion, and the extremism of the Taliban's doctrine is also very pervasive and not something to be underestimated. To c

I have long sat with a post I want to publish about being a Marine during those times. I watched as President Obama and Vice President Biden told people countlessly how well the training was going, that the takeover was progressing despite

They're absolutely not stupid, but I think you underestimate the ideology that lives heavily in the Taliban. They likely believe they delivered his family to a better life. You are right about paramilitaries, but the governor's of

In a world of infinite possibilities it is possible, but I doubt it. I spent a year in Helmand and Nimroz. In that time I watched the Taliban attack our bases with three large, at times overwhelming attacks. I watched them gather on mountai

I have never in my life heard that hack comes with malicious intent. To me hacking is a generalized term for successful unauthorized computer system access.

Your first sentence is likely the conversation that was had. The only thing I'm suspicious of is people claiming corporate benevolence, which is the way I read danielmarkbuce's comments. Corporations, for better or for worse, will

That's not how a large company like Stripe works, even if you have majority shares. You still need coalitions.

Whether a human made it is pretty arbitrary. Someone came up with a strategy and multiple levels of Stripe decision making thought it was doable and a good idea. Executives, more often than not, will put share holders and company interest
