"i just hate bailing out europe again"

Dense motherfucker doesn't know where his bread is buttered. Status of dollar as global reserve currency hinges on free maritime trade, on top of sheer amount of oil that passes through that place and american sensitivity to energy prices

Not to mention that they're cause of greater share of instability in the region

i have coauthorship on a book released by Wiley - they definitely feed all of their articles to llms, and it's a matter of time until llm output gets there too

also "party of personal responsibility" when they choose to not investigate any of this

but but this branch brings more hype money, it's earn to give, you know nothing about effective altruism /s

lol @ the implication that chatbots will definitely invent magitech that will solve climate change, just burn another billion dollars in energy and silicon, please guys i don't want to go to prison for fraud and share cell with sbf and diddy

who is this guy anyway, is he in openai/similar inner circle or is that just some random rationalist fanboy?

I hear that this happens sometimes, but nowhere near normal times, more like during evacuations from warzone and so on

did they snuck near airbase with a MANPADS?

sorry for being unclear, i forgor a word. what i meant that certain antenna designs would have specific fractional bandwidth, so that just scaling that design to higher frequency makes usable bandwidth wider in kHz terms. in order to get higher fractional bandwidth more complex or bulkier designs would be required, like thicker conductors, added parasitics, something LPDA-shaped, or maybe elaborate matching circuit, all of which cost money. i guess that while resonant amplifiers are a thing, probably bigger limitation would be bandwidth of mixer

i'd also note that antennas, amplifiers and so on have bandwidth that is some % of carrier frequency, depending on design, so just going up in frequency makes bandwidth bigger. getting higher % of bandwidth requires more sophisticated, more expensive, heavier designs. LoRa is much slower, caused by narrowed bandwidth but also because it's more noise-resistant
