wow, i had my doubts, but this is true in every single LLM i can find
A probability distribution chart titled "Pick a number between 1 and 10" comparing three sources across a horizontal axis numbered from 1 to 10:
 * Random (teal): A flat, uniform horizontal distribution line across all numbers.
 * Human (orange): A wide, multi-peaked curve with a small bump around 5 and a prominent peak centered around 7.
 * LLM (magenta/red): A extremely sharp, narrow peak centered heavily right on 7.

They don't care about that fuel. They just want to tell Ukraine to stop hurting America and pretend they're the enemy.

At the end it's clear it's a decoy. Even if transport was far from ideal, it makes sense. And it explains why it was light enough to be carried by a car.

Ask any programmer working intensively with AI. Being in the loop means trying to follow and understand, pretending to check everything but not having the time for that. When both your management and your tools press you, you make errors over errors all the time, faster and faster ...

The horseshoe theory in France: Le Pen and Mélenchon stand united in being anti-democracy, pro-Russia, anti-EU, and anti-NATO, while backing reckless economic policies funded by high deficits. Electing either would exponentially increase the risk of a Russian invasion in the EU

If Le Pen wins the presidential election in France, Russia could launch an invasion inside the EU knowing that both Paris and Washington might sit out Europe's defense. That shift massively increases the likelihood of a major war inside the EU

This headline is highly misleading. A S-400 complete battery is priced about half a billion dollars. But a launcher is roughly $10 million to $20 million.

I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

When a company, eg Ikea, doesn't answer phone anymore but lets you only chat with an inept IA, it's effectively closing its after-sales service, which makes money in the short term but loses customers. This is a weird choice.

I don't know the (classified) details of the BROACH charge, but it's a dual charge (one to open a path to the effective and a delayed one which explodes after penetration. The Taurus is supposed to be more effective on bridges by deleting a continuous section, not just exploding in depth.

Those missiles are *very* precise. They have an official CEP of a few meters but observed strikes usually show a much greater accuracy. So, to answer your question: they specify the exact parts of the building they want to hit, and also the depth (penetrated layers) at which to explode.
