AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the capabilities of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, specifically regarding the number of nuclear missiles that can be launched in a day and their potential impact. It is noted that the U.S. has approximately 10,000 nuclear warheads, with around 5,700 being active and deployable. The conversation emphasizes the strategic importance of not just the quantity of missiles but also their destructive capability and speed of deployment. The inquiry seeks to understand how many long-range nuclear missiles can be launched within specific time frames, such as per hour or minute, and the resultant effect on a given surface area over time. The underlying theme highlights the desire for a powerful nuclear deterrent that can deliver a significant strike capability efficiently.

Was wondering, with American technology and nuclear machinery

How many Nuclear Missiles can they launch to the other end of the Earth in one day ?
What surface would this mean ?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
I'm not sure what your second question means, but I found a site that says that of about 10,000 in our stockpile, 5,700 are active (deployable). Most would be capable of being detonated just about anywhere in the world in a day.
 
yeah But , there's no point in having so many,
the aim for a country to be considered as more powerful would be for it to be able to send as much as possible per day.
And for it nuclear missiles to be more destructive and faster

And, that's what i am asking, how many can USA send per day (long distance) ? or per hour , min , ect ?
And when i say 'surface', that means like in an amount of time T, u can send N number of nuclear long range missiles (of different types, or same type) that would have a consecutive effect on a surface S

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
