societies in turmoil find it easier to acquire both lunatics and explosives

i’d just want to notice it’s much easier when you can just pick them up from field and melt them in a kettle

That’s nine dead by now

that’s just rehashed fukuyama

update 2: there were 50.45% votes for EU integration after counting 99,7% votes

the problem with that is that training can’t be done “immediately” it takes tons of compute

Copyright and IP concerns disappear with an open dataset.

i don’t think i’d agree with that, doesn’t matter if dataset goes open if content went there without consideration for authors

also even things like thispersondoesnotexist were used to mass-create fake identities and such

i’m not. just because he’s an underdog here means that you’re gonna ignore all the harms of generative ai up to this day? it’s like complaining that big oil stole the idea of adding tetraethyllead to gasoline from you and you got no profits from that as a result

so much for second best army in the world

combined cycle gas powerplants can get almost to 60%

why it was there in the first place? they probably had no idea, or if there was post-war cleanup it went undetected for some reason

any explosive weapon will sometimes leave duds, there are GMLRS, javelin and excalibur duds documented. ww1 era shells could be the worst because by some estimates up to some 20% failed, then fuzes were often brass so they didn’t corrode, but shell or bomb body were steel or cast iron so they did. when fuze gets almost set off then loses mechanical support it sometimes becomes more likely it’ll be initiated on its own

ceasefire has been in place for four years at this point. many syrians went to lebanon as refugees, estimates place them at something close to 1.5M. maybe some of them are going back

if that was mixed with fuel, sure (15kt) but on its own should be a bit less (6.5kt)

“This is a ship that nobody wants, but that nobody can get rid of.”

20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate

i see something resembling a solution, right there

by the end of the week it’ll turn out that pagers were made in israel and all these companies were cutouts

not when dealing with bad faith posters, no
