Next issue (?) is that there's a million types of plastic. Different compositions, different structure. Plastic eating bacteria won't touch every variant.

Federal law in USA is supposed to cover mostly commerce and interstate matters (and enforcement of constitutional rights) and what the states allow the federal government to manage. The federal gov is created as a contract between the states and a delegation of power from them.

So no. It's kinda unusual in that way too, compared to other countries formed from multiple states.

Get somebody else to take a truck to you?

I remember this lol

Tldr neural network models are incredibly weird. My best guess is that the combination of common recurring structure with variations based on common rules (joke threads and all) helps the model derive some intuition about how to handle variations of things.

Also reminds me of an even earlier neutral network which got better at playing specific games after being trained on large amounts of text completely unrelated to the game, like encyclopedias or whatever.

It's a dedicated feature for whistleblowing. If you have the contact details for a journalist in Signal already that works fine too.

Different threat models.

Completely ignoring the possibility of "the AI will get angry if we create it, but build it wrong / wastes resources / cause destruction while building it which it decides should've been used better". Like, these guys are explicitly fighting against the goals they claim the AI they're working towards is supposed to have.

Massive singular radio telescopes are used to pick up individual signals from one direction, and can't do imaging alone.

Sure you can pick up long wave radio with smaller antennas, but not without trade-offs. They often need long coils, and to make up the remaining difference you need to very precisely control electric resonance, and you lose efficiency (you pick up less energy from the radio waves). You definitely can't do imaging with just one.

Just look at how big NFC and Qi coils are, they can't practically be made smaller at those wavelengths, or else you lose too much energy!

Massive radio telescope arrays spanning the globe uses the massive distance to create a tiny amount of angular resolution, just enough that with months of processing you can image a black hole a few light years away with some thousands of pixels. Compare to how your phone can run deblur algorithms on a fraction of the power over far more pixels, because the angular resolution makes such a huge difference (blur radius is infinitely smaller)

Also, amplitude is signal strength. That's only tall on a chart.

It will only be real if you don't make it real, or, uh... Wait a minute...

After checking for physical health issues, ergonomics, stress, posture, etc, take a look at better shoes. If you ever feel like your heels often hit the ground hard when you walk, and especially if you more often feel pain after having carried something heavy, the impact on your spine might be bigger than you think even if you don't feel it at that moment. Better shoes (and posture, etc) reduces the impact significantly.

Link it when you've made it
