"shortest route" and "straight line" actually mean pretty much the same thing. The shortest route is the straight line. Sorry if I confused the matter by switching up the terminology.
Flying parallel to the lines of latitude would mean that your bearing doesn't change much, sure, but flying in a straight line would require your heading to change continuously.
The aircraft in the screenshot was flying a very not-straight course
That's misleading. The shortest route would be the "great circular" joining the two points, which lines of latitude definitely are not.
The only line of latitude which is a great circle is the equator.
No, it's not. It's noth of the equator, so the straight line route would look like a curve towards the north. This route is curved south, which means it's actually because of air traffic control routing them along approved flight paths. That might be for traffic management reasons, or because of terrain on the route, or restricted airspace.
Even that won't be truly effective. It's all marketing, at this point.
The problem of hallucination really is fundamental to the technology. If there's a way to prevent it, it won't be as simple as training it differently
If that's their solution, then they have absolutely no understanding of the systems they're using.
ChatGPT isn't prone to hallucination because it's ChatGPT, it's prone because it's an LLM. That's a fundamental problem common to all LLMs
How did you calculate that? The question didn't even mention a specific speed, just "near the speed of light".
The kinetic energy for a grain of sand near the speed of light is somewhere between "quite a lot" and "literally infinity" (which is, in a sense, the reason you can't actually reach light speed without a way to supply infinite energy).
It was pointed out to me a while back that the paradox of tolerance is only a paradox if you consider tolerance to be a philosophical position.
In fact, we don't treat it like that. We treat it as a social contract, in which context it is no paradox at all to say that if you aren't tolerant then other people aren't obliged to tolerate you in turn
I bet he'd quickly become less busy if he was the supreme commander of the US armed forces
For once, I don't think that particular charge is entirely inconsistent with the dictionary definition.
He's accused of killing a member of the public in the hope of frightening everyone else in that person's position into taking some kind of action.
I think the law says something about killing for a "political purpose", with the goal of changing some kind of public policy or behaviour. That's not an unreasonable interpretation of what happened, I think.
Unfortunately that means they get to use the laws which were written to deal with mass murder and bombing public spaces, which I don't think is particularly appropriate but doesn't seem out of line with the law
The ISS has enough spacecraft docked to take everyone home at a moments notice, always. Nobody needs to launch anything.
They broke that rule briefly when the Boeing capsule was deemed unfit for use, but they quickly fixed that.
In principle, yes. It depends on your Linux distribution though, I'm not familiar with the one you're using
BGA, like in the photo, isn't the only option. There are options only slightly larger with hand-solderable packages (if you're good at soldering)
