Yeah, but those launchers are really cheap. Just a metal rail and a booster (and alternatives are possible, Iran has lots of steep mountains).

Ok, if there are really 10000 in a attack at once, I am pretty sure a carrier would burn so much, it is basically scrap metal. But I suppose 1000 already, or even 100 at once would be a serious threat with grave damage. I suppose we will fi

The simple reason is, the british stopped being a big empire in the wave of decolonisation. They lost most of their colonies. Not just for military reasons, but human progress. Self determination of people etc. So had no need or funds to su

"Like the UK chose to spend all of their money on nationalized healthcare instead of the military" I believe the equation is a bit more complex than that.

I don't have a picture at hand, but on frequently used rock climbing spots, the young trees at the bottom, where the partner with the rope stands, can be very chairlike, too. I once asked myself why are they so conveniently formed, wh

The living bridges were new to me. I like the concept, would probably also work in more cold areas, but with more effort. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_root_bridge

Not saying that evolution has a will, but the mechanism is that those species that are best adopted will prosper and go one. So that species that can reproduce the best, wins. So I don't see why you disagree that evolution does not opt

"The worm of spite gnaws at the tree of life, and is fated to eventually kill it." But then again, there is the new beginning. Ragnarok is not the end of the world in a christian sense, but it goes in circles.

"why would we want an environment that can be fully shed every month? Isn’t that crazy expensive?" Any ideas how to raise babies more efficent? Evolution does not optimize for the individual, but the species.

Title is click bait. It is a electronic scarecrow. Maybe one that moves soon, but even then still not something I would call a robot wolf.

"Crusades went on for about 400 years if you count things such as the Reconquista I also find it hard to believe they could not find profitable wars." Well, sailing from norway to england, do some raiding then come back before the

The cover with the viking in a horned helmet does not hold up so well for me. The text is more historically accurate?

Poor contrast? White on black? And if you think it was too long, what part would you have shortened? I never knew about the scene and found it interesting to read this personal take on it.

Well, I had to google what CTF means (capture the flag, a hacking competition), so surely cannot judge here, but the text indicates that with AI some things are very different today: "That makes open CTFs pay-to-win. The more tokens yo

Interesting that you see it as a higher ethics to be OK with only enslaving non christians, because I really did not mean anything like that, as I do not see it as a higher ethic. And like the other commenter pointed out, civilization is il

I think mainly it was, that they became civilized/baptized and christians were still free to plunder and enslave non christians, but not fellow christians. So the vikings did not just stop, but rather became crusaders: "In 1107, S

"Hunger is the real plan continuation bias." Oh man, that brings a memory of a old roadtrip. We were guests at a house of a old british lady in a olive farm in southern france - and dinner was ready. It was also unusual cold, so

Yes, but this study was not about that and "just efficiency" is actually what most people are after. At least I want AI to solve my problems, not score high on a academic leaderboard.

"It is a bit arbitrary, but I think this is what they're tracking." I don't know if they can get their numbers right this way, but this seems a way more useful metric, than theoretic capabilities.

Hm. It is a clear UI, but I would prefer more space for the content.

Thanks for the hint, but is a large context window actually that useful? I tend to get garbage too often with a normal big context window.
