I believe it was canonized that Vader made improvements when it was required. Vader was still a technical genius and a pilot that no one rivaled.

Take his right hand for instance - he was given the first prosthetic, that he replaced during the clone wars. One of his legs in a comic gets beat to all hell, and he rips off a jedi training droid leg to replace it, which works better and is far sturdier.

But originally it was intended to be a hinderance. Anikin was a walking vergence in the force, simply by existing he made his connection to the force stronger. By sticking him in a much less technically advanced cyborg suit than what Grievous got, he could also just blast him with some lightning to weaken him physically again.

Why stop at Gaza right? Israel has a lot of neighbors, might as well walk right into Iran or Lebanon and just start murdering people too!

The tell tale sign of how awful the zionists are is that they aren't picking a fight with Iran. Syria fell. Syria is starting to rebuild. Palestinians had barely any organized resistance. They only fight those who can't fight back. Almost exactly like another genocidal maniac in the 1920s-1940s.

This feels like an attempt to destroy open source projects. Overwhelm developers with crap PRs so they can't fix real issues.

It won't work long term, because I can't imagine anyone staying on GitHub after it gets bad.

Computer Engineer here, studied QED and E&M.

This is the most accurate answer

He even has his own theme song!

"Grown without the nueral components for awareness, thought or pain"

Somehow I doubt that

I never thought I'd see the items in a shopping cart double in price so quickly, but here we are

A radio spitting 1MW of anything on your stomach is going to give you a pretty nasty burn from waste heat, but wifi range - 2.4Ghz is gonna cook your water molecules real good. Still no ionizing happening.

Key thing here is your talking about power, and individual atoms don't care about that sort of thing. They care about the individual quanta they're interacting with.

1000 radio frequency photons will never have the individual energy to bump an electron. 1 UV (and shorter wavelengths) photon can bump an electron

Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: "how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read."

I don't know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn't generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

10 to 30? Yeah I think it might be a lot longer than that.

Somehow everyone keeps glossing over the fact that you have to have enormous amounts of highly curated data to feed the trainer in order to develop a model.

Curating data for general purposes is incredibly difficult. The big medical research universities have been working on it for at least a decade, and the tools they have developed, while cool, are only useful as tools too a doctor that has learned how to use them. They can speed diagnostics up, they can improve patient outcome. But they cannot replace anything in the medical setting.

The AI we have is like fancy signal processing at best

It still blows my mind that some people cannot comprehend that not everything needs an exchange of currency in some way shape or form.

"They don't do anything in return?" "They don't get worse!" "But who compensates the people who help them?" "We do." "But then who compensates us?"

What world do you live in where a layoff means you get a year to plant trees?

In the US we'd die by like week 3 of not having a job, and lose our homes and be criminally homeless by 6 weeks. In that order.
