What was "military" about those motorboats? You're suggesting the same military has vision into dozens of little boat's barrel contents but can't see hundreds of children in a school yard?

How can anyone take this argument seriously when the DoW was simultaneously committing dozens of extrajudicial executions of small boat users in the Gulf?

It's called a nickname, and it's in reference to her infamous article defending the murder of actual journalists (which she is not). Can you answer my question?

"Propagandist" is not a palatable job title, so propagandists often masquerade under different words. For example, the US government's official foreign propaganda agency is called "US Agency for Global Media". If An

"brazen and identified" is doing a lot of work here. IIRC the cable thing was an anchor accident, and everyone is doing psyop campaigns (Western psyops being far more advanced and sophisticated than their enemies). Nord Stream was

This is a surprising development. I wonder how much of it was opportunistic, since Talos 1.14 added sandbox isolation based on Linux namespaces (?). Perhaps the reasoning was "let's just go one step further and support full contai

That's a bizarre take. Which of Israel or Canada has assaulted a US battleship unprovoked?

The comment I am responding to is attempting to spin it as some kind of authentic concern rather than more IPO hype building.

This is the CEO of a company with an upcoming IPO publicly saying "my product is potent and valuable". We should not put any spin on it. There is nothing more to it.

That's very hypothetical, but one might also ponder what under scenario Israel might attempt to sink a US battleship and murder dozens of US servicemen. It's hard to predict what a theocracy might do.

I suggest you look into the many confirmed impacts in Israel, including at heavily protected airbases and downtown Tel Aviv where the regime embeds its military intelligence centers. There's a reason why Israel has stopped directly str

"Sure, Israel might be mass-murdering children while calling them 'Amalek', but at least they aren't scary Muslims!" At what point does reality become more important than your favorite childhood stories?

Iran clearly has the capability to flatten every major hospital and university and desalination plant in Israel, like Israel has done in Gaza, but they don't. It's also clear that Iran having nukes would be a strategic deterrent t

Why can Israel have a nuclear weapon? It is also an insanely violent ethno-theocratic regime.

Who is taking it seriously? The unipolarists clearly don't, and the multipolarists have been busy building alternatives for the past couple decades.

This is straight up misleading. When you press your K key on a touchscreen, your keyboard program may decide you meant to press the neighboring L key (by dynamically inflating the collision geometry on it) because it was statistically far m

Yes, and keyboards also save a lot of time over handwriting. Numerical methods and proof engines save even more time. LLMs are just another tool in the kit.

That's usually a good sign you are on shaky ground!

by pphysch 17d ago
In the same way you rely on a keyboard or touchscreen to type this comment. It doesn't mean the tool is the brain behind the work.

And some people win the first tournament they attend. Again, flubbing your first tournament is much less persistent than flubbing a product release. Significantly different risk profiles.

I also don't see a strong link between training at a competitive activity, and releasing a product. Obviously, training against real opponents is crucial. But the world is full of half-baked products, especially software. If you show u

Bad software, as in stateless programs, doesn't actually matter and never did. They can be replaced trivially. The problem is the real world isn't made of stateless programs, but lots of important data in bespoke formats/sche
