Looking back at history, it would lead to more propaganda and more support for going to war.
A population getting attacked only leads to that population wanting to an us vs them mentality and emotional knee-jerk reactions over rational responses.
Have a win 7 mouseless laptop I’d like to put a game on and play for funs. Typically my go to game for olden computers is Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or maybe Civ 4. Any recommendations?...
For anyone downvoting this who didn’t understand the reference:
Russia is saying that they’re the ones shooting down their own planes, because they don’t want to admit that Ukraine has the capability to shoot down their planes.
what things did the LHC discover that have real practical applications right now other than validating some hypothesis
Is really multiple questions:
Is doing fundamental research with no application in mind useful?
Has the LHC led to practical applications usable today
The answer to question 1 is yes.
There’s different types of research programs made to target different goals. Some aim for short or medium term applications, and others are just pure fundamental research.
Just because pure research doesn’t have an application in mind, doesn’t mean it’s not useful. The application isn’t the goal, the expansion of our knowledge base is. Everyone who ever thought up of an application for something did so based on their own knowledge base. If the knowledge base never expands, then we run out of applications to think up. This is why pure research is useful.
And all of history supports this:
The discovers of rays shooting off cathode-ray-tubes in the 1800s were just doing pure research and had no idea it would lead to TVs
particle accelerator research lead to invention of cat scans
chemists trying to research heavier elements leading to the discovery of nuclear fission, leading to nuclear power
electrolysis research lead to the invention of lead (and rechargeable) batteries
etc…
The answer to question 2 is also yes:
The obvious ones are:
improved manufacturing processes
improved supercooled superconductors
improved large scale vacuum chambers
Improved data processing
Trained a new cohort of experienced scientists/engineers/workers/etc (who can now work on new projects outside of the LHC)
I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn’t seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆
Why can’t it play it? Because LLM’s don’t have memory, so they can’t work with logic. They are the same as the little “next word predictor” in your phone’s keyboard. It just says what it thinks is the most probable next word based on previous words, it’s not actually thinking or understanding anything. So instead, we get moves that don’t make sense or are completely invalid.
Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my...
