Precisely. It’s those boundary areas where the jet and the medium interact where it gets complicated.
Sort of. The speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of causality, nothing can go faster than the maximum speed at which one part of the universe can effect another.
It is possible for fluids to move faster than the speed of sound in the fluid around it, such as the exhaust products of a supersonic jet engine, but in these cases not all of the fluid is operating like a wave. The core of the jet experiences a laminar flow where all of the fluid is moving in the same direction and at roughly the same speed, like a laser instead of a flashlight. At the boundaries of this laminar flow exists a turbulent region where the fluid interacts with the surrounding medium and is slowed to subsonic speeds.
Guess what a court ruled against back in January?
It’s not a scientific breakthrough. I’ve been using distributed hash tables since the early oughts, assigning monetary value to it wasn’t innovation.
Bitcoin was never going to be what it was claimed to be because it isn’t designed for anonymity. The blockchain doesn’t forget, every transaction goes into a permanent ledger and can’t be reversed or cancelled. That makes it a liability.
Irreversability is a liability for a currency.
As opposed to crypto, whose track record is barely over a decade old and filled to the brim with scams.
You’re describing the concept of currency in general, “it only has value because people act like it does” applies to crypto too.
Fiat doesn’t need banks and whales, their existence in our economy is a choice rather than a necessity. Fiat can operate just as well with centralized postal banking and wealth taxes.
Both, but currencies are dependent on the trustworthiness of a government that can at least theoretically be held accountable by its citizenry, while crypto is dependent on the banks and whales that own almost all the crypto.
Any reviewer that doesn’t start by ctrl-f-ing some LLM keywords isn’t worth their salary.
Me reading this with a hippie beard.
What the two other replies have neglected to mention as the cool side-effect of light affecting the curvature of spacetime despite being massless is that it’s theoretically possible to make a black hole out of nothing but light. The concept is called a “Kugelblitz”, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)
I’m regularly mistaken for being more than a dozen years younger than I am. =D
You know a good heist always needs that genius mechanic who can bodge a mechanical solution to such practical problems, or just have a flatbed truck with a crane or something.
If this were a movie, it’d end up with an 18-wheeler and whatever nonsense would be required to steal a whole train car. XD
LLMs are just massively-multidimensional maps of human language use. It is academically interesting to have developed both the map and a method for plotting a course through language-space using a prompt as an initial vector, but human intellience is not in language. Rather, language is part of human intelligence, and mapping it to ever more computationally-expensive distances is never going to chart a path to the digital mind that all the tech billionaires are so desperate to enslave.
Both to some degree, realistically. I used an old collander as a signal reflector for a wifi dongle on the end of a USB extension cable and was able to boost the signal up to about 4x, or maybe half the range of the purpose-built and highly directional Yagi antenna I eventually bought to replace that kludge.
If a court didn’t order it then it isn’t a deportation.
Because the real assassin didn’t want the attention, and real heroes tend to have mysteriously short lifespans.
Letting a fall guy enjoy the fame and either prison time or exoneration gives our real hero a lot of headstart on disappearing and becoming someone else.
Reduced volume is acceptable if it means they’re spending even less on chargebacks and fraud investigations.
