Reply to US Air Force awards $75.5 million contract for world's largest wireless ad-hoc network by Vailhem
That headline... I'm pretty sure they think it's necessary, if they're going to pay $75m on it.
But why is the necessity wireless, instead of the network?

Yes, and we will be able to communicate via synaptically driven holograms... but wasn't the world already supposed to have declared war on Switzerland, driving them to become Oceania?

I think the concern is its adaptability to collate data for business. It can essentially do middle-management tasks, given controlled inputs.
I think people forget that being a manager of people is hard enough. Shedding or reducing the paperwork might give business the time to allow managers to actually interact with their teams more efficiently.

It's whatever.
They get a high credibility rating for factual reporting.
But they tell nothing of any real depth. That could be said of many news outlets.

Yes, I see the meanings as different, because I was thinking the context of the question would bias the result.

so... predictive

This is fair. "Word" is too simple a unit. It picks up phrases and maxims.

I don't think people fully understand the mandate. I also think too much trust is put in some safeguards built into it.
It can only be what is allowed to be input, which makes everything predictive.
Someone mentioned a Markov chain, but it's more elaborate than that. It predicts the next word based on context asked, not on what comes before.

ChatGPT is simply a predictive algorithm.
It can't discern between truth or falsity. It can only search out the most common next word for the context asked.

>No gravity, huh? I hope the people involved in the study are a little sharper than the author of this piece...
It's written by an engineer, not an astronomer.
edit: Also, I imagine the movement of gaseous oxygen would only occur in 14 day spurts, with the following 14 days being optimal for liquid o2 to be piped.

Reply to comment by iskilikecatpoo in The Nothing Phone (2) will come to the US later this year by PuzzleheadedHeat4409
Good to know.
So I can buy one and then go to my carrier to activate it?
anti-torque t1_j6jz6nz wrote
Nothing is a phone with no apps other than an essential core. If you want anything added to the phone, after purchase, that's on you, not the manufacturer who might be selling someone else's OS.
The reason the first one wasn't released in the US, other than beta testing, is because US carriers require the OS to integrate features specific to each carrier--certainly nothing to do with tracking and harvesting information.

The highest SAR Value for any phone is 1.25 W/kg.
Those walkies we played with as kids?
1.5 W/kg
And they're limited to that, because higher outputs create interference where it isn't welcome. Europe actually has a higher limit--2.0 W/kg--than does the US.

If by "remote work," they mean work was somewhere other than where they were, we are starting to find common ground.
