If there is a way of doing it without inversion it's probably more accurate - some people go out of their way to formulate methods without inversion to reduce inaccuracies.

For many equations (e.g. PDEs), there is no direct translation of math to code anyways. This is the point of contact with numerics, integration methods etc. the translation layer between what math expresses and a computer can evaluate.

Or an undisclosed radar/laser capability. Plasma can reflect radar and it emits light - a focused phased array could create local plasma somewhere that other craft pick up. Ofc, once you#ve done that you may not want third parties to k

Air to air missiles have proximity fuzes and the pattern of the shrapnel is roughly a disk normal to the missile - so not that precise. Or do you think it was actually a laser-guided air-ground missile?

I would hazard that there is a good bit of transmission of shock waves from below to the surface, but it's ofc attenuated by the large mismatch in density at the ground air-interface... How badly were they hurt? Were they hurt at all?

You'd need to be connected to their wifi hardware to do that, since you wouldn't get interference between your beams and theirs without having two coherent sources.

A lot of what we see is cargo cult engineering and not fundamental research in ML. Most of it is applied research or engineering - there is a little bit of fundamental research that actually expands our own knowledge about how things work a

What it boils down to is: If someone else will just do it, then wait and let them do it. If it has morally objectionable consequences, either you care about that and do not involve yourself, or you don't and you go ahead. But then you

Talking about optics, optical resolution is also a thing, i.e. whether you can resolve a certain target like a grid of micrometer-sized bars under a microscope. Edit: That kind of resolution is induced by the optics and not by the sensor (i

Once you can do that, people and societies are only puppets, if they don't have analytical and adversarial technologies to counteract that. What you describe is a propaganda officer for every human mind.

It's often reduction that furthers understanding (e.g. in physics, to try and reduce phenomena to a small set of assumptions/laws).
