It's not unwise choice.

Even if they prepare and organize it properly, the offensive would have to last for several weeks or months before a significant weakening of the Houthis occurs. And given the shortcomings of their opponents, perhaps even longer.

Russian Plague was supposed to air next season.

All of this has stems from a consequentialist understanding of morality that has plagued Western culture for roughly a hundred and fifty years now. On the wrong path, every stop is the wrong one.

Just as you have moral obligations toward people, and even toward animals that have not reached a level of linguistic capability or, in principle, cannot reach it.

A computer that plays chess is no different from a computer that sorts tomatoes or one that interprets X-ray scans. The fact that a vast amount of text was loaded during its training does not change a thing. You have no moral obligation whatsoever to computers.

The Japanese government and companies have recently allocated funds for the development of their own artificial intelligence models, microprocessor production, data center construction, and robotics development. We will see how much progress will be made in that regard.

That is not easy to pull off, but it is not impossible either. However, in modern politics, many commitments are undertaken without the willingness to endure anything to fulfill them. Hypothetically, the EU could develop its own digital ecosystem, but that requires time and money.

Does anyone know any good analytical articles on the situation in the Japanese economy, AI investments, and semiconductor manufacturing? #Japan

and mimic linguistic practice based on statistical calculations. Which is why usability depends on scaling up the number of parameters.

It is unusual that no one attributes powers of reasoning to chess-playing programs, even though they learned to play chess starting from a narrow set of rules. LLMs, on the other hand, start from compressed semantic content (what we have written)

How do we address the political betting industry and insider trading? What is needed is not just political leadership; moral leadership is required as well.

000

Were procedures violated in constructing the legal basis for carrying out attacks on vessels in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific, in which hundreds of people lost their lives? How do we deal with the crypto industry, which has proven to be a major source of corruption?

100

Did Elon Musk participate in undermining the electoral process? Did the leadership of the Department of Defense perform strikes on civilian targets in Iran, including the attack on a school in Minab, through deliberate misconduct or foreseeable oversights?

On the nation. The administration is corrupt on so many levels that it is difficult to imagine emerging from its shadow without judicial proceedings and thorough investigations, including the president's innermost circle of associates.

100

After the conclusion of a decade of the Trump political era (it really was quite long, wasn't it?), it will be necessary not only to reverse certain political decisions (alongside much damage that remains almost irreversible), but also to re-evaluate the fundamental, moral harm it has inflicted

Are you advocating only for a ban on flying drones, or both flying drones and cute little elves on wheels? I support a ban on all forms of the surveillance state, especially surveillance cameras.

Finally some Bipartisan Consensus.

There are 50,000North Koreans fighting in Ukraine?

They were probably all trained on the mass appropriation of protected copyrighted material, including massive catalogues of images, music, newspaper articles, books, scientific publications, code libraries, and perhaps even user-generated content.

000

This is not far from truth.

000

Except they’re not entirely sure whether that land of abundance will be for the current inhabitants or only for the remaining Talking Machines.

But America’s rulers and techno-activists believe that Talking Machines will usher in a Thousand-Year Paradise of Abundance.

120

In the calculation of the balance of power, Russia was certainly in a stronger position vis-à-vis Ukraine than North Korea is in relation to South Korea.

000

And that the battle for customers in this sector is very often a zero-sum game.

000

They overlook the fact that a large part of the service sector, from hospitality to legal services, rests on people's unwillingness to deal with those tasks themselves and for a smaller number of people, on the lack of highly specific skills and knowledge.

100

I don't know how these companies imagine a bunch of similar products being used by people who mostly find such products neither useful nor interesting. It's not bad to have an accountant in your pocket, but many people don't want to have anything to do with accounting.

100

True, the money and experience North Korea gains through cooperation with Russia could improve its strategic strength in the long run, including mastering the mass production of drones, precision missiles, and other complex systems.

100

I wouldn't rule that out as a possibility, but I don't think it is particularly likely under these circumstances. Simple math shows that defeating South Korea would be an exceptionally difficult undertaking.

100

They are probably right, to be honest.

100

Computer systems are not the kind of things that can feel. Just as a square cannot sing or a number cannot smell. No matter how complex they are, artifacts are artifacts, not organisms.

001

An immeasurable sea of suffering.

100

A new Middle Eastern escalation feels almost palpable.

000

A sabotage terrorist attack on a British airbase housing US strategic bombers has been averted. Yet another reminder of how quickly things can take a turn for the worse.

000

And that's good news. If the future becomes a lot more interesting, as a rule, that means interesting in a bad way. The Strait of Hormuz crisis is more than enough.

120

They probably have no idea what to expect. Not just technically, but politically as well. Who can tell when a 'cyber incident' might become a serious threat that ends up reshaping the political landscape?

120

The insistence on minimizing casualties leads to very slow operations.

We also have data indicating the destruction of a considerable number of fortified Hezbollah positions, with minimal losses among Israeli soldiers. It is estimated that approximately 100 Israeli soldiers and probably more than 5,000 Hezbollah fighters were killed in the two wars, in 2024 and 2026.

When will laws start applying to companies that produce crimeware?

What begins as a massive erosion of the rule of law ends up as the collapse of the public good.

We should have kept the computers that deal with numbers. Computers that speak are uncanny. They feel like witchcraft.

So inflicting damage can indeed alter an opponent's political calculus, even when there is no path to inflicting an unambiguous military defeat.

The bombing campaign, judging by Vietnamese sources, altered the positions of their leadership and led to the Paris Peace Accords. No one could have expected the rapid collapse of South Vietnam and the absence of US air support.

What is the most reliable and meticulous study on the start of the Iraq War, specifically regarding the decision-making process within the US leadership?
