Why were you going with SFX anyway in a case that large? Or was it just left over from a previous build?

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
Dahobbs replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
Not really, at least not without making your training set very specialized and limited (e.g., by removing all fictional or creative works). But then you couldn't get the scale needed for the more impressive capabilities seen with these models. You may be able to mitigate hallucinations to some degree, but the reality is that LLMs don't have any inherent way to identify "truth" or to reason. I think LLMs are going to ultimately end up finding their best use as a transformational layer between an input and another type of neural network or algorithm. -

Better data doesn't fix the inherent problems LLMs have in regards to hallucinations and reasoning. -
No, that report is fake. You can versions of it from back on the 15th. Versions of it says there was torrential rain prior to pushback. It is completely fake.

That's stupid. The posts were liked because they were informative. Not because people were "cheering" failure. As an example, if I like a post describing some of struggles against Georgia last year, it isn't because I'm happy that we struggled. It is because the post itself positively contributes to the discussion.

It wasn't raining... this is fake.

I'm surprised that the 4070 Super fits with the spine that far in favor of the CPU side. That's good to know!

Not exactly. You don't really individually join a class action at the outset. The attorney filing the case provides a class definition. At some point, the court will rule on whether the class can be certified. Assuming it grants certification, for the vast majority of class actions, anyone within that definition is part of the class. These are known as opt-out class actions. You have to actively decline to participate in order to be removed from the class. And that decision typically isn't made until there is a known outcome (e.g., a settlement). Opt-in class actions are rarer in modern times, but they do still exist. However, even there, the opt-in procedure is usually later in the process and until then the entire prospective class is treated the same.

This is a capability that literally no other nation has. That investment in resources, research, and training is what allowed an impressive feat to seem mundane. Your reasoning would seem to preclude anything from being described as impressive. It is lazy and pointless analysis.

Wait, we're you really expecting a conversation generally about the bombing of another country, which was done at the sole discretion of Trump, to not have political discussion? I don't think anyone in the thread is really demeaning the military. There is some discussion about how impressive this particular operation actual was. It can be true that the operation was tactically impressive, but not the most impressive operation ever as claimed by the administration, and potentially not even a strategically successful operation. You're a fool if you thought the later two points weren't going to be discussed here or shouldn't be discussed here.

What? When did I claim anything about magic? What are you on about? Communication was limited. Encrypting communication protects the contents of the message, but not the fact that a message was sent, from where it was sent, and in some instances to where it was.
-
Yes. That appears to be exactly what they did. Fighters, tankers, bombers, naval assets, surveillance, and electronic warfare assets all had to be precisely timed and routed. Small individual deviations given the distances, scale, and timeframes involved would have been greatly amplified. This level of coordination is very impressive.
-
Tactically, the mission was very impressive. No other nation has the experience or demonstrated capability to pull off a mission like that. Whether it was strategically wise or successful is up for debate.
-
Underselling, yes. But it doesn't change the fact that even without 60,000 lbs of ordinance, a B2 flying from Missouri to Iran is going to need to refuel.
-
Coordinating the actions of over hundred aircraft with minimal to no communication over thousands and thousands of miles so that they all arrive where they are supposed to be precisely when they are supposed to be there is very complex. Doing so in way that will minimize the likelihood of detection while also including multiple mid-air fueling points even more so.

I'm not sure he even understands the meaning of the word strawman. My argument is that he is a hypocrite. It isn't a strawman to use evidence of his hypocrisy. It is my core argument.

Not exactly, no. It'll be in service for a least another decade.

And of course Lyn Redwood was given free reign to spew vaccine-autism bullshit without presenting any actual evidence in response to the concerns from the actual public doctors. Fucking nonsense.

Actual statement by a doctor with the ACP (American College of Physicians) to the committee: "This committee has always prided itself on openness, transparency, review of data and evidence. So I am wondering if we will have an actual scientific presentation with peer reviewed literature, strong evidence to actually discuss this issue as many statements have been made here today without the support of science or evidence but merely opinion." He continues by asking if there will be presentations by actual scientists with actual data or we they have "lay person presentations only" So, yeah, things are going well.

I am too.

See, you'll do deep dives into conspiracy theories surrounding Fauci and Covid, but can't even raise one bit of criticism to the clear anti-science bullshit being peddled. Fucking hypocrite. You're the brain damaged one. And you are smart enough to know better.

@Anastasis still thinks this is balanced science and not political bullshit. He still thinks there is nothing to see here and that this is a balanced panel. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/06/all-childhood-vaccines-in-question-after-first-meeting-of-rfk-jr-s-vaccine-panel/ All childhood vaccines in question after first meeting of RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel Beth Mole – Jun 25, 2025 6:04 PM | 116 A federal vaccine panel entirely hand-selected by health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gathered for its first meeting Wednesday—and immediately announced that it would re-evaluate the entire childhood vaccination schedule, as well as the one for adults. The meeting overall was packed with anti-vaccine talking points and arguments from the new panel members, confirming public health experts' fears that the once-revered panel is now critically corrupted and that Kennedy's controversial picks will only work to fulfill his long-standing anti-vaccine agenda. Controversial committee An hour before the meeting began, the American Academy of Pediatrics came out swinging against the new panel, saying that the panel's work is "no longer a credible process." The organization shunned the meeting, refusing to send a liaison to the panel's meeting, which it has done for decades. "We won't lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children's health," AAP President Susan Kressly said in a video posted on social media. The panel in question, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), has for more than 60 years provided rigorous public scientific review, discussion, and trusted recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how vaccines should be used in the US after they've earned approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The CDC typically adopts ACIP's recommendations, and once that happens, insurance providers are required to cover the cost of the recommended shots. The system is highly regarded globally. But, on June 9, Kennedy unilaterally and summarily fired all 17 esteemed ACIP members and, two days later, replaced them with eight new people. Some have clear anti-vaccine views, others have controversial and contrarian public health views, and several have little to no expertise in the fields relevant to vaccines. Last night, it came to light that one of the eight new appointees—Michael Ross, an obstetrics and gynecology physician—had withdrawn from the committee during a financial holdings review that ACIP members are required to complete before beginning work on the panel. With the remaining seven new members, ACIP's two-day meeting began this morning, despite calls for it to be scrapped. The new ACIP chair, Martin Kulldorff, introduced himself by proudly relaying that he had refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and was fired from Harvard University as well as an ACIP working group in the past. Childhood vaccines under attack Kulldorff's first order of business was to announce a new working group to review the safety of vaccine schedules in their entirety, rather than the safety of individual vaccines. Kulldorff was echoing an anti-vaccine talking point that children today get too many vaccines. "In addition to studying and evaluating individual vaccines, it is important to evaluate the cumulative effect of the recommended vaccine schedule," Kulldorff said. "This includes interaction effects between different vaccines, the total number of vaccines, cumulative amounts of vaccine ingredients, and the relative timing of different vaccines." Although children get more vaccines now than they did in the past, modern vaccines are more efficient at training the immune system against pathogens, exposing them to fewer elements of germs (antigens) to generate protective immune responses. A handy explanation from Yale's School of Public Health notes that children under age 2 in the 1980s got vaccines against just seven diseases—but those vaccines targeted over 3,000 antigens. Today, children under age 2 get vaccines against 15 diseases—but those vaccines target just 180 antigens, asking much less of the immune system. Further, the cumulative effect of vaccines is baked into testing. When new childhood vaccines are tested in clinical trials, the children participating in those trials are still able to get every other vaccine recommended for them—withholding proven vaccines from participants would be unethical. So, any vaccine safety and efficacy trial includes children who are getting the entire vaccine schedule in addition to the vaccine being tested, providing information on cumulative effects with every new addition. Kulldorff also said that the panel will go after specific vaccines, including the hepatitis B vaccine, which is given to newborns. The AAP immediately hit back, calling this "unscientific and dangerous." AAP highlighted that the hepatitis B vaccine is safe and lifesaving. Babies infected with hepatitis B at birth have a 90 percent chance of developing chronic disease, and 25 percent with chronic infections will end up dying from it. Thanks to vaccination, there were only 13 cases of hepatitis B in 2022. “Very concerned” During the full-day meeting, the seven new members listened to CDC experts review data on COVID-19 vaccines and RSV vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. In the discussions, ACIP member Retsef Levi—who is an expert in operations management—made a puzzling critique that the CDC's method for evaluating COVID-19 vaccine efficacy analysis didn't account for "alternative" explanations like "the vaccine is actually making you more vulnerable for multiple viruses." Meanwhile, ACIP member Robert Malone—who has claimed to have invented mRNA vaccines and is proud to be called an "anti-vaxxer"—spread false misinformation that certain lots of COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous. ACIP member Vicky Pebsworth—a nurse who is on the board of an anti-vaccine organization—said she was "very concerned" that the CDC's safety monitoring systems were not capturing all of the adverse events from vaccines and said the committee should have access to "data that we probably wouldn't ordinarily have." A CDC subject matter expert noted that there are published studies showing that the CDC's safety monitoring systems capture a large majority of adverse events. The committee ran over time and did not vote on anything today. But tomorrow, it will vote on an RSV monoclonal antibody discussed today, as well as on influenza vaccines, which will be discussed on Thursday. The agenda also includes presentations on a measles vaccine that has been the target of anti-vaccine activists. One presentation on flu shots will come from the former president of Kennedy's anti-vaccine organization, the Children's Health Defense. The slides of that presentation have been posted and will focus on the alleged dangers of a mercury-based preservative thimerosal, which anti-vaccine advocates have long falsely linked to autism. Already, researchers and media reports have noted that the presentation supports some of its claims with a study that does not exist.
