You know there is a pretty direct calculation to determine the theoretical best outcome. How close you can come to a maneuver-capable rocket, is the answer to a conic section that takes distance, and maximum speed of both rockets into accou

Let's see ... One side is responsible for the "pax Americana" (but everyone here was born into the time period and so doesn't realize how exceptionally peaceful it is) One side is responsible for at least 20.000 but more

I don't understand. The EU purposefully advantaged Chinese companies for decades to the detriment of EU companies. I don't understand how anyone can either believe this was an accident or say it really was someone else. Makes no s

That was not because the EU didn't want or try to stop it, but because they couldn't. The EU was going to pause it indefinitely because of the border issues. UK diplomats in Brussels were actually helping with that. And the UK jus

My argument is that the government lets certain companies get away with large scale law violations, to the point that it killed local companies. Both of your arguments are "but it's this slightly different part of government that&

Of course, "playing these cards" may require winning wars. Against China and Russia for starters. In fact any global policy against self-interest needs at least the credible threat of defeating any other power that may implement s

What's wrong with looking up the algorithm called "work stealing" and just implementing it? Making web UIs for a working algorithm is something AI is really, really good at (and I'll actually trust it with that)

In both US and UK immigration law isn't law. It's government edicts. Which means parliament chooses not to have a say and just leaves it 100% in the hands of the executive (Prime minister or president respectively). Mens rea is be

I think you'll find the whole valuation of the S&P500 is built upon retirement accounts. Yours. Mine. In other words, look one level deeper and you'll see it's not the S&P500 that's overvalued. It's you and

There used to be training methods like that but I think they've been phased out in favor of letting small models evolve by rewriting their own training material. Surprisingly that's actually cheaper.

Also a big problem is that the GPDR is a law in the style of all EU laws: 1) they are NOT laws. Despite what's published everywhere you get zero legal rights from the GPDR. A legal right is some right you have, and if someone violates
