Why sneak, the article already shows that anyone with an agenda can now easily produce their own books, without much effort.

Thethers and ships that can hold their position for thethered ROVs are very expensive. OceanGate didn't even have their own ship, they chartered one and that ship released their base platform from which the sub takes off.

The sad part is, people who couldn't afford it also went: like a woman who spent all of her savings for the trip (she's on the BBC show). Luckily she made it back up alive (3 times, since 2 times they couldn't find the titani

I think they couldn't modify the sub to be safe - the big worry is the integral part of the sub (and the one with the highest cost in this one), the composite pressure hull. You cannot ensure its safety, since you cannot evaluate it fo

I think there was simply no economically feasible alternative to the composite hull, so Lochridge was fired. I also suspect that if you go with a metal hull, you don't have positive buoancy anymore - you need syntactic foam. You need l

They did the automated dive test, then kept diving without any idea how long the hull will last. They didn't automatically dive until failure.

Then let me amend what I wrote: It's as difficult as designing a spacecraft, because you reach the limits of what materials that can be used can offer.

Even then it's horrible, since the thing is sealed from the outside (as basically all crewed DSVs are)

Don Walsh has been on the Deep Sea Podcast a few times, I can recommend it for anyone interested.

The dome shape is a structural necessity to withstand the pressure, like in a soda can. Else you would need more material, more material means more weight, more weight means more bouyancy required which again means more weight etc. It'

Carbon fiber hulls are used extensively in remotely-operated vehicles, Edit: (I was mistaken there, those are metal hulls - but there is a plethora of research RVs with glass fiber hulls) e.g. the ones that the Navy uses (torpedo shaped) bu

They copied the glass fiber + titanium rings idea from the Deepflight Challenger that Virgin wanted to dive with. [0] Virgin deemed the design not safe enough for more than a single dive and quietly scrapped the diving events: "Based o

Your analogy isn't complete. The analogy is more like: 12 year olds playing a soccer tournament that draws a crowd and the people owning the yard are selling drinks and showing ads.

If you pay, your data set is just worth more (Edit: to the company), since it proves you have money and can be made to spend it.

MrBeast is exactly the media phenomenon a broken system would come up with in some 80s cyberpunk movie, as a bandaid to give people the illusion of hope: the 'happy hour' show in a boring dystopia. That is not MrBeasts fault, it&#

Imo it's only right to have something that is made of public goods (i.e. everyone's data and human historic record) to become a public good in itself.

Real life is what good illustrators actually train from: figure studies, value studies etc. - from life. (Edit: you study like the old masters, not necessarily the paintings of them - though it is also done ofc, but not the most important

The difference is that now only the owner of a machine profits where before lots of individuals profited. More power to the owners, I guess.

That alone would not be sufficient though, you could have learned about it by chance - it would be more useful as a meta-encoding, like a watermark, with multiple 'trap concepts' that are connected enough with everything the model

Planting trees is the least-cost and least-impact part of actually cultivating a healthy forest that is not another monoculture patch of land (e.g. firs). To get your trees to survive their early life and not get eaten by animals (tasty gre

I feel rather than people trying to poison or fingerprint the data of a third company, the AI-operating companies themselves will add such markers to their models, to find out who used their model output for training.

I mean, it's not hard to imagine that scenario in a simulated training environment (though as others reported, this story is misreported, there was no sim, only a thought experiment): You have a training environment that is symmetrical

You cannot load or write (may only have been one of those operations, strangely) a file containing non-ASCII characters with the C/C++ libraries if you target Win. If you target Linux, those work out of the box due to the file system d

Does it strike you that this conversation seems to consist of futurology forum clichés ("What progress will AI allow?" "AI's impact on physics") that probably inform this from the training data? What also strikes me

That's why you need a Bachelor's degree to be eligible for training, at least in the US Air Force. Edit: They need people who have proven they can study and understand material.

Monte Carlo integration and its many many offshoot techniques (biased and unbiased) are still fascinating to me. It's less impressive if you simply see the result, e.g. in ray traced images but what is done mathematically, is evaluate

The EU is more in line with China on this one, I'm all for letting other societies try this cultural nuclear weapon on themselves first. See what sticks. I feel that's the way things have been going culturally/economically in
