USA not liking a Russian-aligned island neighbor is similar to China not liking a USA-aligned Taiwan providing a military launchpad on their maritime border.

It will be interesting to see which strategy turns out to be more effective: China’s carrot and stick approach to reclaiming Taiwan, or USA’s belligerent vendetta against Cuba.

I don’t know if this is the full explanation, but the article does touch on how the LPM can be tweaked to match physical tests:

The trick is to incorporate experimental measurements to fine-tune the model. If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

Suspect or not, you get the same surveillance treatment as suspected domestic terrorists do.

The other side also gets to vote for when the war is over.

As the wars in Ukraine and Iran have shown, its impossible to stop 100% of drone attacks and drone manufacturing.

Cargo ship insurance companies will have a vote too regarding when the Strait of Hormuz is “open”.

“Cultivating strategic depth for Israeli regional hegemony” is what they’ll call the invading and colonizing.

FYI - the Factorio devs think we should all listen to what the nazis have to say, and give them platforms to say it.

We should probably stop giving them money and attention.

IDK, I think we’ve seen adequate evidence that a lot of people out there are unswayed by facts and logic, and many of the ones who can be reasoned with are vulnerable to sophistry, sealioning, and other bad faith propaganda/debate techniques.

Even an informed public seems incapable of making good decisions.

This is The Way.

a blue flash, a pop, a wisp of smoke, and then your computer never turns on again

Anything moving at light speed does not experience the passage of time, so yes. Nobody can actually get off the trolley.

“It was Biden that shit in my pants!”

Crush, burn and bury them. Those devices can never be trusted again.

That’s a funny way of asking people to uninstall Epic’s game launcher & boycott their games.

Yeah. Solid oxygen crystals with naked protons tunneling through it.

The old guard of human operated propaganda farms feel threatened by having their playing field leveled. They’re scared that non-capitalists may now have the means to have their voices heard over the cacophonous noise of the billionaire owned media and government sponsored troll farms.

. . . in their time and place, but the universe is ever changing.

They really need to start building nuclear armed submarines.
