True but those are purely speculative. The science showed that the Neanderthal genes associated with the testes (iirc) reduced fertility in sapiens

I think it is more like tigers and lions. Neanderthal human hybrids were likely less fertile, particularly any hybrid with a Neanderthal y chromosome. This has gone extinct.

These people argue that all sacrifices are worth the goal of spreading global freedom even when they turn democracies into dictatorships. These people can never admit they were wrong about anything. Even now when the communist nations are beginning to overtake the west, these fools argue that China is a capitalist nation. They live in a fantasy world.

Their plan was to reduce us casualties to generate an illusion that the us was winning the war. So they cut a deal with the Taliban: the us would no longer support Afgani government soldiers with air support and in exchange the taliban would not attack us bases. This led to Afghanistan government soldiers quitting and the government collapsing.

It's strange how Rubin glosses over the CIA's training and arming of the very extremist groups which conducted 911. I don't see how anyone can try to argue that arming and training such groups was worth it.

I know what you mean. All the code generated with ai was loaded with problems. Specifically it kept forcing my api keys into the code without using environmental variables. But for basic coding concepts it has so far been perfect. even a 3b model seemingly generates great definitions

Snippets are a great use.

I use StableCode on my phone as a programming tutor for learning Python. It is outstanding in both speed and in accuracy for this task. I have it generate definitions which I copy and paste into Anki the flashcard app. Whenever I'm on a bus or airplane I just start studying. Wish that it could also quiz me interactively.

It's pretty dumb as a deterrent because a single miscalculation and it would set off a chain reaction that ends human civilization.

Think of it this way: because nuclear missiles are not immediately traceable to their country of origin, each nuclear-armed country will immediately launch at their perceived enemies without validating who attacked them. All it takes is one launch. This might deter a sane person but we are led by narcissists and these are not rational people.

It's a huge disaster in the making. There's probably a game theory model that explains what's happening but damned if i know it. AI is a trap.

At the beginning of LLMs as a consumer tech phase, the big tech companies believed that they would soon generate synthetic data without human labor costs. But synthetic data caused model collapse when used as training data. So they still need humans.

But now their competitors are using scrapers and summarizers and those are expensive so they have to extract more value from search traffic and that means fewer referrals to sites. Fewer referrals to sites reduces original content and leadabto less traffic and training data for their models.

The only two ways out are to create an international regulatory body ornto break up facebook, microspft, and google.

You can see the cop aims low. His intent was to harass and drive away. A real chud.

There have been cases of reporters getting hit with plastic or less-lethal rounds in the head... With a helmet on... And being brain damaged for life.

The reporter must be made of steel because she laughs it off but those rounds can blind or break bones.

Im not sure but I believe after 911, national guard units were deployed to Iraq (which had nothing to do with 911) by order of the president. I believe that if the president declares an emergency then they can use the national guards however they want.

It would make sense if Congress were required in this decision making process but that would be out of character for a fascist criminal ring

 

Hi, I'm looking for flexible PCBs compatible with the 5x7 Dactyl Manuform (Carbonfet variant). Does anyone know if any are available online? Thanks!
