if the enemy can't actually prosecute the offensive successfully. If they can, you find yourself kneeling in front of a hastily dug trench. You are right about the US and Russia though. It has suited everyone apart from the Russians

I don't think we know, but it does look like the answer is Yes. Both Iraq in 1991 and Iran in 2024 had extensive, developed, and expensive AA setups. The USA destroyed the Iraq assets by attrition, Israel surgically removed the Iranian

yes - agree, people look at a picture and don't look at what's not in the frame or what other pictures can look at.

Sadly this is a past tense thing now since Rukban in Jan 2024 where 3 U.S. soldiers unfortunately were killed by an Islamist (Iranian backed) group with a drone.

If you send your troops or vehicles forward without defense they will all get killed. You are not going forward in order to exercise your vehicles and you are not defending your vehicles and troops for the sake of simply preserving them. Yo

I think that they give adversaries another card to play. Drones mean that you can do a bunch of tasks that previously needed air dominance without that dominance, or even when you are dominated - like the Houthis are showing. With drones yo

Ummm I don't remember that - can you give some more details? I do remember them running articles like "what should NATO do if Russia invades". Which isn't a dismissal. Of course, it would have been a really bad thing to

I remember that John McCarthy used to condemn AI research as being a series of "look mom no hands" demos, but now we've got to "look mom I face planted". This work would be valid if it did things like : - Describe a

Yeah - feels like lunacy to me. I love the way that they get to the end of the article and then write that it doesn't really work!

Higher life expectancy more like, the state can't afford for people to spend 20 years unproductive. This is a much less acute issue in the USA and Russia where health is poor and life expectancy low.

There is a lot of retrieval in the behaviours of LLM's, but I find it hard to characterize it as overfitted. For example, ask ChatGPT to respond to your questions with grammatically incorrect answers.

Well - there is an alternative take. Whisper it... but we don't actually need to have ultra rich people in our society. They serve no purpose that normal rich people don't, and arguably introduce distortions that are profoundly co

Maybe ask the LLM to extract facts from the documents as datalog assertions and then use a reasoner/llm tool to answer the question?

Does anyone have any links for more LLM based tools that are aimed at data engineering and data science?

FIPA came after KQML and tried to learn from it and do something better. There were people who didn't think that it had succeeded in that. So it's debatable I think.

A very old report about FIPA that was rejected from AAMAS. https://github.com/sgt101/FIPA-Mirror-/blob/main/Experience_...

Doesn't even mention KQML or FIPA - staggeringly ignorant.

I'm not sure you're right you know. I think that the way that an LLM maintains a conversation is to have the conversational thread fed into an instance of it at every step. You can see this if you do a conversation step by step an
