Based on what? They said it would take a few days and now they're asking for $200,000,000,000.00 to continue it, because it's not going as planned and Israel is still getting hammered: https://x.com/search?q=israel%20sirens%20since%3A2026-03-19&...

> because it's not going as planned and Israel is still getting hammered

What makes you say that? Iran is a country twice the size of Texas, and dismantling the military-industrial complex of a massive country takes time and money. Iran was outed as a paper tiger last summer, and hasn't been able to meaningfully defend their airspace, navy, or commanders. They are being absolutely destroyed. The question is whether this will be sufficient to cause regime change before the country is sent back to the stone age like Gaza.


>Iran was outed as a paper tiger last summer

Everything I posted already refutes that. What are you even doing?


>Leaf blowers and cars driving past are exactly the kind of thing that ANC works well on, a fairly constant noise.

I can tell you haven't heard a leaf blower in a while, if ever. The revving the operators inevitably do causes it to bounce up and down over the spectrum at completely random-seeming intervals. Punches right through ANC, windows, doors, walls.

As if that's not bad enough they pollute more than a gigantic SUV because of how much oil they burn being a two-stroke.


I have similar problems. Half the time after not being used for a while they're dead. Even if I left them in their bra, WITH A POWER CABLE PLUGGED IN.

And then they just won't connect. Requiring searching how to reset them, then doing it, then they still might not connect.

It sucks because they noise cancelling is amazing and they sound fantastic... when they work.


Did you try resetting them? Or did you not figure out how to?

They're not.

Mars' gravity is only 38% of Earth so I think quite a few would be crazy feats of strength or odd trajectories of objects. At least they would be if I were making them.

I would like, subscribe and hit the bell icon

I bet I could throw a football a quarter mile... ;)

And yet it's only a matter of time before someone does it. If they haven't already.

>It has gut feelings now?

I would say hard no. It doesn't. But it's been trained on humans saying that in explaining their behavior, so that is "reasonable" text to generate and spit out at you. It has no concept of the idea that a human-serving language model should not be saying it to a human because it's not a useful answer. It doesn't know that it's not a useful answer. It knows that based on the language its been trained on that's a "reasonable" (in terms of matrix math, not actual reasoning) response.

Way too many people think that it's really thinking and I don't think that most of them are. My abstract understanding is that they're basically still upjumped Markov chains.


I think the mindset you have to have is "it understands words, but has no concept of physics".

This is one of the interesting things I've noticed. LLMs are good at natural language, and even writing novel code. But If you try to get it to do something that's simple and solidly within the discrete math world, like "sort this list of lines by length" it'll fuck it up like a first time ever programmer, or just fail the task. Like the longest line will be in some random spot not even the middle.

I know, it's not really an appropriate use of the tool, but I'm a lazy programmer and used what I had ready access to. And it took like 5 iterations.

Discrete, concrete things like "stop", or "no" is just like... not in its wheelhouse.
