that's trying to move the goalposts. You are trying to make it a moral argument while the argument is a practical one. It shouldn't matter if a country's territory is occupied or not if nuclear weapons are the ultimate deter

Israel has been invaded multiple times while having nuclear weapons. Ukraine has invaded Russia here and there during the war even though Russia has nuclear weapons. The argument is weak, because in general the countries that have nuclear w

AI is not specifically not deterministic from the enduser's perspective. they throw randomness into it and hence why an exact prompt wont produce the same exact result. a compiler on the other hand is generally pretty deterministic.

yes and no. Imagine they have 100 40k drones. Imagine, if a drone hits it will destroy $10mil in property. So your $100k or even $500k interceptor looks cheap. However, they have 100 of them (so spend 4mil). so you might have to spend (

I'm pretty sure Israel has them active. In June there were many wooshes (i.e. interceptor fire) I heard from my home. Now I'm not hearing any, but am hearing what sounds like short high pitched whines (sort of like coil whine).

I'd think 85" even at 8k wouldn't be that great for a productivity monitor. it seems conventional wisdom (for good or bad) would say 32" at 1440p isn't that great for productivity and one wants a full 4k monitor at

I used it with plex (in kodi) just fine. With that said, I'd agree that its mostly for local media (where local can be whatever plex can get to). Outside of plex, either you are using plain kodi or some simple kodi extensions (say yo
