Well, if you take "custard" seriously, egg yolk is part of that. Obviously ice cream doesn't include it, but there are frozen custard places that include pasteurized egg yolk.
The fully formal version is "private military contractor." Which is someone who risks their life for money to fight as an at-will defensive soldier, under the assumption that they might get some of the same or similar-enough legal status of the military of the government hiring them (if it's a government). But no long term benefits, hence the usually high pay and short term contracts.
It's usually seen as sketchy, though there are a few companies that specialize as being a sort of grey market species forces. Erik Prince used to run Blackwater, a mercinary company that changed its name to Xe (and later sold to another company) after controversy in Iraq. According to the Geneva Convention, mercenaries can't do offensive fighting in a war zone, and one group had IIRC.
If it's relevant for future people who found the thread the same way I did, sure. It's like of you were looking for a treasure in a network of caves, and you see writing in the wall from previous treasure seekers saying "beware of bats." If I add "left cave has dragon" it might help someone else.
Also, if the OP or other accounts are still active, they might get still a notification.
For what its worth, the golden age of piracy could only have happened thanks to a roughly century-long cool spell that effectively meant barely any hurricanes at all to sink pirate ships.
And they don't have 100% of the dire wolf DNA sequenced, nor do they have DNA of the dire wolf's extinct ancestor between it and Canis lupus. It's a grey wolf with genes from a dire wolf added in.
IP law is so fractured that individual US states have different laws that can have international implications. It's a massive hodgepodge that need to be aligned and nationalized.
All the errors you know about in the nuclear power industry are human-caused.
Is this an industry with a 100% successful operation rate? Not at all.
But have you ever heard of a piece of paperwork with an error submitted to regulatory officials and lawyers outside the plant causing a critical issue inside the plant? I sure haven't. Please feel free to let me know if you are aware of such an incident.
I would encourage you to learn more about how LLM and SLM structures work. This article is more of a nothingburger superlative clickbait IMO. To me, at least it appears to be airgapped if it's running locally, which is nice.
I would bet money that this will be entirely managed by the most junior compliance person who is not 120 years old, with more senior folks cross checking it with more suspicion than they would a new hire.
If you've never used a custom LLM or wrapper for regular ol' ChatGPT, a lot of what it can hallucinate gets stripped out and the entire corpus of data it's trained on is your data. Even then, the risk is pretty low here. Do you honestly think that a human has never made an error on paperwork?
We can tick the box on spec now and check back in 10 years to see if they ever actually developed a commercially viable rector.
