what scenario are you imagining where any of meta's product offerings are useful to me?

Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she's leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time

"Write your system prompt in English" also works

just ask for the output to be reversed or transposed in some way

you'd also probably end up restrictive enough that people could work out what the prompt was by what you're not allowed to say

Without technology prepared to counter teleporters

like the shields all the ships in starwars have?

you can't just decide to build cutting edge chips

if the DoD needed cutting edge chips but had to purchase them from within the US, all that would happen is their technology would be worse for the next decade(s) until US production could catch up

given the current us procurement strategy of keeping at least a generation or so ahead of its next near-peer, i really doubt that would fly

even if you're in a situation where it's somehow possible to manually draw 1/3 of a mm to any accuracy, 1/3 scale draft rulers still exist for metric, so it's equivalent

I seem to remember you as the one who brought up calculators

because as soon as you have access to a calculator, "off the top of your head" is an irrelevance

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

well yeah, because 1/8" is 3.175mm

1/3 of a mm is a distance between 1/64" and 1/128"

mechanical pencil lead is only about 0.4mm

I still don’t see how a calculator helps though.

don't ask me ask the person who posed the "what's a third of 9.5mm" question

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (4 children)

using a ruler to measure a length of 1/8" is as accurate as using a ruler to measure a length of 31mm and eyeballing 2/3 of a mm

the bottleneck at that point is your eyeball and pencil lead, not the unit of measurement
