    Explosives are surely up in revenue now (double, triple?) and the world is using about every drop of production for both (as with every supply chain). So, a +/- of $3B is a 16% sho…

    Why is this world so backwards? Humans have musical ability , and cognition requires training (that's opposite of OP). You don't train on music, you train on technique (and practic…

    I really hope that the U.S. sending these weapons to Ukraine is a clearance on outmoded military technology, not a strategic failure.

    I wish. This is my fifth heretical account. They all end up in the ghostbin thanks to anonymous downvotes. Yet I have never cursed, sworn, or made any false allegations, only drawn…

    Yet "physicists" are staring deeper into the paradox with the notion that the image is perfectly logical.

    My feeling is that the cosmetics industry has a lot to do with micro-plastics. Where does the glitter go?

    Thanks. What reason do they give that these network weights cannot be computed? I am pretty hip to modern AI workings, and that is what I assumed they meant by compute. What I know…
