Light is EM fields. A possible scenario is a battle at night with others having night vision equipment and you don’t. You can absolutely be described as disabled or being at a significant disadvantage.
Because, like you say, what we consider normal in that scenario is to have a proper night vision equipment.
Because it’s becoming obvious that these coding agents are going to succeed on the basis of a company’s ability to not only build the harness, but tune the model for the harness.
I guess it’s fine if IBM is trying to do it as a marketing kind of thing but maybe know your competencies?
With so many LLMs around and tooling around it’s not hard to cobble something together. At their size they can get special pricing and discounts, too, to reduce per seat cost.
> Ultra-high voltage lines operate at voltages above 800 kV for direct current or 1,000 kV for alternating current,
Interesting, I thought above a certain distance DC is more viable. Or are they just describing the UHV term in general, not really that particular 700km line.
> You can mine a lot of intelligence from public data. And his approach of doing some kind of scenario modelling on top of the open data actually is interesting.
That’s sort of how it happens in the intelligence world. A bunch of analysts can look at open source data - news snippets, public data sets etc, but once they analyze it and distill to some conclusions it may become sensitive or classified.
Until congress actually does something all of this is simply hot air. I do not see how this could be implemented (other than some kind of tax) and pass muster with a conservative SCOTUS.
> US troops on a helicopter initially tried to capture a beach to turn it into a beachhead and forward operating site but had to return to the battle group without successful deployment (or any deployment at all) after it came under Venezulean fire
That sounds unlikely. They have aircraft carriers and just a large modern navy but a helicopter comes under fire and they cancel the invasion?
> People in many other developed democracies — Japan, Israel, Sweden, South Korea — had warm views of social media in a 2022 survey
I guess they cite that as some kind of jab at Americans ("look how crazy and backwards they are"), but, I am sorry, I don't see warms views of ad fueled tech megacorps sucking people's attention and harvesting clicks as a positive thing. If anything, someone else could turn right around and reword the article "as look at these other countries blindly trusting American tech corps with their privacy and attention".
I'd hope that people's opinions have changed a bit since them. The negative effects on teenagers mental health is certainly being discussed more for example.
> The fraudulent doctors’ orders generated by DMERx falsely represented that a doctor had examined and treated the Medicare beneficiaries when, in fact, purported telemedicine companies paid doctors to sign the orders without regard to medical necessity
They'll get doctors as well? Hopefully they are part of the co-conspirators group they mentioned they convicted at the start. Criminals are going to be criminal, but it's especially disheartening when doctors engage in this. All those years going to school should be canceled and thrown into the trash immediately if they get convicted of these kinds of crimes. The path of ever being a doctor should be closed for them.
The problem here is not the doctors. It is billing it to government insurance. Doctors should remain free to gratify patients who are willing to pay cash rather than bill to government insurance. In fact, most such gratifications never have a problem for precisely this reason.
It's still partially a problem with crooked doctors.
This is just a step adjacent to the online pill mills for ED medication, GLP-1s, and ketamine, only the advertising and service delivery has been adapted to the elderly that don't use the Internet.
Instead of ads online it's ads on daytime television bragging for free orthopedic supports and braces at no charge to you if you "call today" while they link you up to someone that signs a prefilled script for fifty bucks a pop to bill out to Medicare.
