$14M is in the reach of normal people though. With a good job, judicious spending, and a little investment luck, it’s possible to get there.
The problem is that most people don’t have a good job.
No one person can make a BILLION dollars though, without exploiting others.
Crippling Canada’s military would be relatively easy. Holding the country would be absolutely impossible. It’s enormous geographically and occupation requires around 20 to 25 soldiers per thousand residents.
We would have to dedicate a cool million soldiers for the 40 million residents of Canada. The US had only 450k-ish army members in 2023, so that would be difficult.
Agreed, though I’m still interested in some “assemble in orbit” lunar architectures. No need to lug the whole Starship out there, but it can put significant mass into orbit. You could build an Apollo style lander out of three or four launched components, I suspect.
Yeah, Starship is definitely not ready for primetime. Maybe cancel SLS after SpaceX has flown a Starship mission around the moon.
The thing I miss most from Reddit is all the niche technical communities. So much knowledge is contained in those.
Look, Russia is barely able to do anything against Ukraine, assuming we give them weapons.
Someone like Poland would curbstomp the Russians.
The only ones who can do something about it are those with nothing to lose.
We intentionally picked the worst thing because it’s the only way to burn civilization to the ground!
Civ games usually need a couple months/years to bake before they get as good as their predecessors.
Seems half-baked. Well unbaked really. They make a shit ton of assumptions that I’m not sure are true.
For example, why do they assume 90% pulverization efficiency of the basalt? Or is that a number they just pulled out of their ass?
And does ERW work if the pulverized rock is in a big pile on the sea floor? Or would we have to dig the highly radioactive area up and spread it around the surface?
And does the radioactive water truly stay at the site of the explosion? Or will it be spread through the entire ocean via currents?
Cool concept but, like, maybe we should check the assumptions a little harder?
Nuclear explosions are inherently unsafe…
…but fuck them fish!
Agreed with the other commenter, you need to verify that you have proper GPU access. Eevee will always crash if not given a GPU.
Eevee requires a GPU in ways unlike the old default renderer. If it’s virtualized there’s all kinds of things that might be wrong with getting access to a GPU.
Yeah the whole article is a press release used by Invoke (the company) to reassure their clients that they are legally safe creating things with AI.
Look, I think Invoke is good software, but they are being intentionally misleading to make money.
When it gets closer (~2028 probably) we’ll know which city to travel to when the time comes.
Let no one say that Trump NEVER did anything good.
But we could easily write all of the good things on a postage stamp with room to spare.
Ha, due process? Unlikely
The open paper they published details the algorithms and techniques used to train it, and it’s been replicated by researchers already.
Okay, for starters, let’s review the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model of the internet…
