Reminds me of seeing Putin bragging a few months ago about how Russia has more nukes than the US/NATO/whatever. Well yes, you better hope so, because if shit hits the fan, you have to take on basically the entire free world by yourself, whereas the entire free world is aiming everything they've got at just you.
Yes and no. The basic flight path would not change, but it does get affected by weather conditions and such. So the drill would be that they get the weather data and other inputs, and would need to provide the guidance set up parameters.
He also told that they’d also do drills where they need to hit an actual target on the other side of the Soviet Union with an actual ICBM. Some kind of a polygon made for such drills. If I recall correctly, getting it within a kilometer was considered acing it.
Considering all the open models that already exist and are yet to be created before all the rulings and appeals are done, that toothpaste ain't going back in the tube.
Too late, they blew their one shot. Ain't no one who tried it when it was new and hyped and was told that they couldn't use it since they weren't using Edge setting reminders to go back occasionally and check whether Microsoft has finally pulled their head out of their ass, it just instantly ceased to exist for them.
I tried it a few times but was mostly disappointed with the results. I built a superior solution (for my usage anyway) in like 50 lines of Python.
Just uses duckduckgo for search, extracts text from top 8 results, shoves into gpt-3.
(I think I got a massive cost reduction by filtering paragraphs with embedding API, but that's just an optimization.)
Phind is better than what I built, though. I don't actually use it that much (I'm not sure why—habit? Impatience?), but every time I do I'm surprised with the accuracy.
I think a big part of it is which pages to select for sources. Google Bard failed hard here in my testing, gave nonsense answers because its sources were AI generated SEO spam!
I hadn't had much luck with any of these. Phind is indeed better for programming but it still has the same trouble with the obscure stuff.
It seems that the main problem right now is that they only look at the first few results. Basically they all do this:
1. Ask model for a search query.
2. Run search and feed the results into the model.
3. Ask model for an answer.
The problem is that for very specific questions the search results won't contain the required information. So it has to say something irrelevant or hallucinate. Especially for negative queries like "a foo library that doesn't depend on std" or similar it really struggles because it can't effectively filter out libraries that fail the requirements and can't keep searching until it finds one.
Basically they can be fast if a decent query can have the answer within the first page of results. But fail otherwise. In many cases you are better off just reading through search results on your own.
Yup, I too use Phind sometimes, and it's amazing. Plus if I want to chat with approximately any model known to man, there's chat.lmsys.org and labs.perplexity.ai. Microsoft thoroughly shit the bed by taking a narrow opportunity to get people to move to Bing as an opportunity to instead go "hey, let's blow this on trying to force people to use Edge!"
I remember going to check it out, and them refusing to let me try it unless I used Edge and/or a Bing account (don't remember exactly and don't care). And that's how they blew their one shot to get me and hordes of others to give a flying fuck about it.

If there's anything that their gloriously failed sneak attack on Ukraine has shown us, it's that yes, yes they are. Imagine if the most advanced weaponry they were facing wasn't small amounts of slow-coming ancient hand-me-downs employed by people who have barely even trained to use them . . . .
