but remember the mantra of these cretins for the past century or few; “the solution to pollution is dilution!”. Never mind all the demonstrably terrible effects of quite a few things in the parts per billion/trillion…

Nah, that’s everywhere and slumlords (read: all landlords) constantly try to raise rent whether or not anyone can afford it.

I mean… fiberglass and asbestos are actually chemically inert, yet they’ll still fuck you up good. It’s a bit silly to think any foreign contamination is harmless.

It doesn’t ‘know’ anything, and getting it to, “triple check” itself is merely reinforcing those terms in the token space. These LLMs do not even begin to have the capacity to actually check their sources.

The only way it does work is to add extra algorithms that check correlation between output and source, and even then, you’re still back in the realm of word weight association.

TL;DR - LLMs literally cannot do this.

Not tech. Business/finance bros. Even the ‘tech’ bros that everyone complains about are 90% of the time MBAs or “entrepreneurs”.

The people who actually care about technology want these fuckos destitute probably more than most if they don’t also have aspirations of being a founding executive of some shit.

Wow, glad I never paid those losers for their slop services.

1. It’s a loss of volume, not vasomotors pulling the skin ‘down’, though that can be chocked up to phrasing.

2. It is still caused by water absorption, though not directly and not only.

3. The medical paper makes no mention of “improving grip”. That conclusion seems to be spurious and almost certainly wrong. The tire tread bit is particularly hilariously dumb. Your fingertips don’t need to shed water like a tire ffs.

The PHP vulnerabilities (yes there is more than one) are relatively easy to exploit if you can fiddle with what requests your server receives (easy).

The DNS exploit requires someone to figure out how to man-in-the-middle your connection. While that is trivial for governments, it is much less likely to be done by purely bad actors, simply for how hard “internet” integration is and how visible the problem ends up.

Both are big problems, but only one of them is continually exploitable, as the DNS issues have been largely resolved even before the very public disclosure.

Again, nobody is asking for the high level view or an analogy. They’re asking for a specific fix.

I mean, wouldn’t the obvious answer without being a tyrant be, to just adjust the followup encounters to still be a challenge? At least in creative ways so as not to just end up with a, “no you” feeling to it or glass cannon vs glass cannon?

I’d prefer to play with a creative DM that would laugh and accept it than one that’ll nerf me for being more creative.

The question is how does that, “issue a certificate” step work and does it require port 80, not what is the 10000 foot view.

rofl if you continue to fail to understand how lead isn’t the only viable option, you’re only proving how pathetic and ignorant YOU care to be on the topic. Pathetic. Genuinely, your view is ignorance manifest.

You’re defending using literal biotoxins as projectiles. You are a vile piece of shit who would readily violate many treaties of the past. You are a fucking loser who fails to understand the problems of certain technological advancement. You are a braindead stone sitting in the stream of the past.

This isn’t a discussion of lead vs some stupid-ass strawman you all imagine. This is about lead vs literally anything possible.

If you think copper or other heavy-ish metal bullets could never compete with lead, even on spread and delivered damage, then you are just stupid.

The force difference for rounds made to similar WOULD be miniscule, because they’d be made to be similar. OFC you cannot cheat physics. I’m not trying to defend bullets made of fucking feathers here…

Unless you’re a sniper working from 100+ yards, you do not need to care about the energy delivery difference air resistance would make.

Even then, it’s more about bullet drop and far less about suddenly losing lethality.

Yes, notice how it is shaped far more complicated than a normal lead bullet? Now why in the world would they make it so complicated if there didn’t have to be a softer metal on the outside…? 🤔

Lead is 1000% cheaper than that style of bullet. The only way changing out all bullets to (functional) steel would work is if you wanted to make it even more of a yuppie hobby in the US…

Not to mention, such styles of ammo suck at dropping soft targets…

Steel bullets would also absolutely destroy 99.9% of rifled barrels. Which is the vast majority of them.

Nope. The core is the strength of the bullet. If it were steel, you can bet your ass that thin copper jacket is not going to magically allow the bullet to squish through the barrel.

“… but lead from the bullet isn’t exactly getting sprayed all around.”

no, just the bullets themselves get sprayed around everywhere. Regardless of what removing lead from bullets would mean for humans, it would be great for the environment either way.
