I posted some links on Ternary AI in this thread in March of 2024 (What’s up today? (Part 2) - #2496 by TylerAbeoJordan). This video goes into the weeds on how it’s now being done. You can find these open source Ternary models on Hugging Face.
BTW, this gal is super brainy - not just a looker. Wow.
One for @dirvine 
is it just me or are plane crashes becoming disturbingly common?
I think we just have more sensational full time news. Nothing to show the rate of accidents is significantly greater than at any time over the past few years. We are also coming out of an extended period of extremely good luck, especially wrt US civil aviation, so there is that bias as well.
Its been top of the news cycle all day - and given the most likely theories right now on the aviation forums, may remain so for a few days.
I could be very wrong here, perhaps it was a double bird strike.
One nasty side effect of these very high bypass ratio fan engines is the “catchment area” of the engines has increased with the square of the radius. A modern jet is very much more likely to collect any passing bird than an old 737-200 for example. The airport is close to a tidal estuary and has had bird strike incident/alerts recently.
Oh Shiiit. Here we go. A new attempt at WW3.
8 posts were split to a new topic: Israel politics (no racism allowed)
Very sad to see.
For me it is likely a consequence of the dying Fiat standard which is creating economic pressure on companies to find cheaper and less quailty ways to maintain, produce and run products and services.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Israel politics (Remember the forum guidelines)
Maybe they think in pure “Mentalese”?
Ok, I need to check in here as the son of military expert in the RCAF whose job it was to investigate this shite, when such crashes happened in the RCAF (more than a few times, only a few known to the public)
Complete loss of thrust is a fly by wire error on a 787 Dreamliner not a bird strike. A bird strike will not hit all engines at once with same effect. You would need a very big flock of small birds to get past the turbine fins, and there weren’t any.
The command and control was shifted to remote and the pilots were no longer in control. These Pilots were not on a suicide mission, their mayday panic call was clearly in a panicked tone by some early first hand accounts.(air traffic control)
IF the remote control was a symptom of crash, then that means sabotage, so who really was on that flight and/ or what was on that flight that needed to go bye, bye? This is a story that is just beginning. Also who has the ability to do this? Any competent military with electronic warfare skills that is who. So who wanted whatever it was on that flight people, information, technology to go bye-bye?
Or did somebody short Boeing stock? Maybe a competitive thing. CN?
Lots of open questions.
Passenger list is the first tell.
Who they put in charge to do the investigation will be the second tell.
Blackbox might be a reliable third tell, however there are ways a competent military can fudge that data as well, post crash.
Terrible loss of life, all victims of a terribly evil act, in my opinion looking at these facts so far. Likely some inside help as well.
Its all in here,
Trump’s people continue to go hard into crypto. What does that mean for the fiat currency? - that’s not a question I need answered, but if you don’t know the answer, you may want to spend some time thinking about it.
The research showing what LLM, so called AI is NOT good for continues to flow.
Last week Apple demolished the idea they can reason on complex problems and found they hit a hard limit and ‘collapse’.
Today I’ve seen papers decrying their use for various reasons for essay writing, brainstorming and below, programming:
The problems range from poor results to cognitve decline in those using them. For example:
Another was a respected expert describing how easy it is to use them in a way that exposes all the data on your machine to an attacker.
This is one example where following the money isn’t a good maxim IMO.
Ship 36 just blew up a little before static fire test
Around 2 hour mark
At this time the test site is also on fire
This will set back the test program
These bastard Iranians!!!
How dare they?!?!!?
Before blaming anybody, this has happened to SpaceX before, with test articles and falcon 9
And before any foreign nation, the most likely would be that person in the administration that called for Elon to be deported.
BUT that is so unlikely though it was any entity and will be a manufacture or design fault
Yeah I know 
Insomnia?
This is not your normal timezone…
