Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

The trouble is just volume and time, even just reading through the description and "proof it works" would take a few minutes, and if you're getting 10s of these a day it can easily eat up time to find the ones worth reviewing. (and these volunteers are working in their free time after a normal work day, so wasting 15 or 30 minutes out of the volunteers one or two hours of work is throwing away a lot of time.
Plus, when volunteering is annoying the volunteers stop showing up which kills projects

American man arrested for illegally entering Andaman's North Sentinel Island, one of the world's most restricted areas

Yes.
Although to my memory it is because the first contact lead to 50% of their population being killed so now they live in violent isolation.
I could also be confusing them with other islands in the area.

But to address your main question, most bullets are not magnetic. Some are, in which case idk how the mri would impact them. But most would fire as normal

That's true to an extend, but the interactions are only useful for training if you can mark it as good / bad etc (which is why sometimes apps will ask you if they were useful). But the 'best' training data like professional programming etc is usually sold at a premium tier with a promise not to use your data for training (since corporations don't want their secrets getting out).

If I recall correctly, it's actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented "white, Hispanic".

Part of the book is that everything is slower, it took them weeks to get to the planet from where they met, and Rocky had already spent time retro fitting graces ship to let him live there. (they did not go to the planet with the intention of sampling it, they were just going to sample the line and orbit the planet as an easy way to get close to the line)
It's been a long time since I read the book, but I think they considered the danger relatively low for the ship with their plan to stay high up and were more focused on "maybe we'll lose the bucket risks" and didn't want to go back to rocky ship until they were done because travel time and stuff.

Iran claims direct hit on US F-35 stealth jet, video shows damage midair
Reply in thread
Pretty much, thermals require being much closer and are only good from certain directions, so the stealth is entirely focused against radar missiles that can be shot from far out of sight and don't need to be behind the enemy

The real problem is the system operates on an expectation you will wave the right to a speedy trial, and once waved its my non lawyer understanding you can't reassert it. So they push you to wave it, additionally you and your lawyer often wants it waved too because the government has as much time as they want to prepare their case before your arrest but you and your lawyer are playing catch up so more time means you're more prepared for trial.

‘We Voted for Trump to Fix the Border. Now We’re Milking Cows Alone at 4 A.M.’ – Vermont Farmers Face Harsh Reality as ICE Raids Hit Home
Reply in thread
Not a dairy farmer, used to live by some and when I've seen them using machines it's still labor intensive, they guide the cows in, clean the machines, attach the machine, make sure the cows move out once done etc, so still requires them up and working. The machine just means they aren't physicality doing the milking part

What do you think of homeschooling?
Reply in thread
I've heard that before, and would be a fan of making it illegal in America as well, there's a strong argument that doing so would improve the quality of American schools significantly.
The idea being that if rich children go to public schools then the rich will be more focused on improving public school instead of attempting to defund it

Republicans are honest fascists. Democrats are fascists in disguise.

I think the main point is that the Democrats are all those things, and yet still more effective than you at pushing the country left, so people support them because it's better than supporting Republicans

An AI School, With No Teachers, To Open in Chicago This Fall

I don't think it will make enough difference, but RAG stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation.
There's a few ways to do it, but basically it's a way add extra information to the conversation. By default the model only knows what it generates, plus what is in the conversation. RAG adds extra information to the mix.
The simplest approach is to scan the conversation for keywords and add information based on them.
So you ask "what is the capital of France" and instead of the model answering/hallucinating by itself, your app could send the full Wikipedia page for France along with your question, and the model will almost always return the correct answer from the Wikipedia page and hallucinate much less. In practice it gets a lot more complicated and I'm not up to date on recent RAG but the idea is the same.

You probably can make it believe your it's owner, but that only matters for your conversation and it doesn't have control over itself so it can't give you anything interesting, maybe the prompt they use at the start of every chat before your input

What are they not telling us!?

They make the plan as a training exercise, not something they actually think will happen, but if they ask a new planner to plan a war with China he's probably thought a lot about it and you learn more about what plans he's read than what unique and out of the box thinking he has, if you ask him to make plans for zombie outbreak or idaho rebelling or an alien invasion in Montana you get unique answers, so they have thousands of plans that no one ever reads again but it's less competence and more " 1999 q4 training exercise"

It's more complicated than it should be, only Congress can declare we are at war, however over the past 200 years they have passed laws allowing the president to do things before that vote out of a sense of being flexible and Congress being slow , and keep allowing more and more things, I think currently the president can do almost anything with the military so long as Congress leaders are told and they then can vote to stop it, instead of voting to approve it.

YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card.
Reply in thread
Your system does sound more straightforward.
Unfortunately various groups have historically opposed changes to make it simplier in the us ( some for dumb reasons some for valid reasons).
The main issue is almost all our documents are effectively voluntary...
Birth certificate is the one you're most likely to have, managed by the state (people who don't give birth in hospitals sometimes skip this, which makes everything harder in life)
The parents should also file for a federal social security card using the birth certificate, but again some people skip this and it makes their kids lives hard.
Most people who can drive will get a state issued drivers license at 16, the most recent standard has a label to identify if you are a citizen or not (proven by showing your birth certificate or social security card when getting the id)
All male citizens are required to register with the government at 18 for the draft, but I don't recall getting any id from it - but mentioning it as the only time I think citizens are required to do something for the feds because they are citizens, the other mandatory federal item is paying taxes, but residents also pay taxes.
If you want to vote you register with the city / county, prove citizenship to them, and get issued a voter id, and about half the country doesn't do this.
I don't know the exact percent, but most Americans don't have a passport. Traveling between States is cheaper than internationally, and within a half day or day long flight you can reach whatever vacation activity you'd want.
There are a bunch of less common id cards granted by state governments, such as weapon carry ids, hunting permits, a dedicated state id card, etc. But these aren't standardized and not every state accepts other state ids fully (in particular the weapon permits are often not accepted). And a common issue comes up when voting laws require id because the politicians often will choose ids that their voters already have and hope enough opposition doesn't get that form by the election to make the election easier (North Carolina Republican party lost a lawsuit recently because there were emails where they specifically asked which ids their voters were more likely to have then tried to make only those the accepted ids).
In practice the federal government uses the social security number as a federal id, but it's a terrible bad idea that has caused many issues and we passed a law requiring government agencies stop doing it
I wish it was simplier, but most people don't care and any discussion of changing it has people panic that their id won't be valid for an upgrade, fearing they would have to spend a frustrating amount of time and money finding or replacing their original birth certificate in order to get a federal id or deal with a slow process (I've known people who had to wait in line multiple work days to get state ids issued, although that was rare, I only stood in line 2 hours).
Probably more information than you wanted, but it's complex and I just kept going lol
