Can anyone explain to someone dumb like me why 5G isn't a better alternative to this? Is the coverage in rural areas that much better?
Greater population density in the eastern part of the country probably means more people there have requested access.

Technically, US Federal Prosecutors are more powerful than the US President. While the President appoints them, and while there is long-standing internal policy not to, a prosecutor legally can call a Grand Jury and indict the President. The power there really is the ability to seat the Grand Jury at will, which any US Attorney can direct to indict even a ham sandwich.[1]

These engineered viruses are remarkable feats of biotechnology.

I have to wonder if they are great treatments though. The issue is complexity. The virions have to achieve contact with the target cell, penetration, avoidance of host immunity, delivery of whatever their effector function is, and hopefully then killing the cancer cell. They also need to do this for a substantial portion of the billions of cancer cells in the patient (not all cancer cells, bystander killing is part of the way they work), which display considerable heterogeneity. This is a pretty complex chain of events, which is a disadvantage when dealing with an evolvable target like cancer. Other (effective) antibody or small molecule therapies have simpler mechanisms of action. The viruses we know and love have evolved over long periods to infect small populations of homogeneous cells, quite different to the task here. I guess we will see.
North east area is strangely mottled. Is that just people in certain towns/cells have ordered more? Why does this even matter for an RV?
You aren't paid to play videogames. You are paid to test videogames.

It's asinine to think they are just playing the games - QA has complex skills necessary to succeed, from technical writing to careful test planning to cross organizational planning. QA is some of the least rewarding and most difficult work in a games studio.

It's like asking why camera operators in film sets "get paid to watch movies". We've decided we like games, so we better pay people for the labor in making them.

Fuck off with this "it's an honor" bullshit. It's work. It deserves good working conditions.
The real question we should be asking is why can't these poor people get access to proper medicine and treatment?

Instead they have to resort to playing Russian roulette every time they use.

Decriminalisation and regulation are the biggest harm reduction measures that could be taken and it would have the added bonus of freeing up space in the prisons and reducing the power of the cartels.

There wouldn't be a fent problem at all if sufferers could get reliable access to real meds. It's absurd that we're even still having these types of discussions in this day and age.
It's possible they had fired them from the coast behind the island, doglegged them around the island (I dunno if the Neptune has this capability, but older AShMs do, so I don't think it's unreasonable), and therefor reduced the possible reaction time of the Moskava as they would have appeared only 40-50 miles away as opposed to 80, according to this map and my rough Google Earth estimates.

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/04/satellite-image...

Doing some really rough napkin math gives you 3-6 minutes of warning, assuming the missiles were detected the moment they cleared the island. The island wouldn't have generated "noise" (doesn't work like that) but as a shadow, sure. I don't know that I would say that was the winning factor however.

But now that I think about it, given how tiny (some consider it a rock, not an island) Snake Island is, you'd have to be darn precise to get your launchers on a spot on the coast to perfectly place the island between them and the ship, and I can't see those constraints being practical to make an attack in a timely fashion. So I suspect it's a stretch at best.

(On the other hand and slightly unrelated, in the flight sim DCS World, we'd take AJS-37 Viggens with RB-15 AShMs and dogleg missiles around features against ships on the Persian Gulf map. This sorta angling becomes a lot easier if your launch platform is far more mobile like an aircraft. Depending on where your target is, you can set up some good ambushes with very little warning if you get your timing right. It's part of the reason the littoral areas can be so darn scary to fight in.)
The only reason fixed-width integer types exist is more or less a hack/optimization for doing fast and space-efficient integral math. Since these are total non-issues for the problem domain where version numbers are involved, there's no reason not to use a bignum instead, if available.

Similar test: which is a more appropriate data type for ZIP codes, int or string?
Yes. It can probably be demonstrated that the most dangerous things about many drugs are impurity, the people you buy them from, and the law enforcement consequences.

Training people how to use drugs in order to be allowed to purchase them and offering mental health services would be far less expensive to society.

AWS isn't offering steep discounts IMO, they're reflecting the true cost to run the processors in terms of cost of licencing the processor IP and the cost of the power/cooling the processors require. I suspect they are getting better margins on the Graviton line than on the conventional Intel/AMD chips even after giving the relative price discount.
Well, no. Law is law. Code is law is a game of make-believe.
Exactly. Remix creators wrote in a blog post that they inspired by Ember.js. It looks to me people reinvent the wheel all the time. Luckily Ember.js provides all these functionalities for a decade now and just getting better.

Oh gosh yes. Though for certain finishes, vacuum forming still has some upsides. Whats neat is you can use 3D printing to make the mould for vacuum forming over.

This gives you the best of both worlds, in terms of the shapes/finishes that forming can achieve, but with the workflow benefits of 3D printing.

Similarly, the new hotness is compression/cold forging using 3D printed moulds and carbon fibre (and other materials). Very very cool.

It's this very attitude, that omly the annointed elite should be allowed to do anything, that draw people to crypto. Now personally I would avoid this scheme like the plague for other reasons. Smart contracts are hard to get right, and especially the ones that rely on very complicated game theorethical considerations for correct operation. And further an index fund of tokens whether manually or automatically managed sounds like a bad idea since I don't believe in the underlying tokens.
This is the main reason I never used it for more than toy apps.

Personally I think the programming model works pretty well

But if we're talking about bad intent, then we could easily argue that Medjedovic (the hacker) acted with bad intent in this case. It goes both ways. If code is law, then hacks would be legal but so would rugpulls. If code is still ruled by law, then rugpulls and hacks can be judged by things like intention.
5G is a technology that is very short-range. If you have a concrete wall between the emitter and the receiver you will get a terrible connection. Maybe 30 mbps vs 500 mbps. Maybe 10 blocks away and you've already lost connection - unless there is another tower within a few blocks. So I don't think it would be feasible for big ISPs. maybe for some specific outdoor camps, yes. But it would require the cost of mainting infrastructure nearby all the RVs, including maintaining a clear view without physical obstructions.

> In which case test strips are less useful

Addiction is a powerful compulsion, but so is safety: an addict (or someone who isn't yet an addict) might choose not to use a particular batch if they have access to test strips. Even if they do choose to use: access to test strips allows them to plan for other harm reduction activities.
I agree, it's not as if I would advise doing what they did. I'm merely saying I wouldn't do it for a different reason. Not out of fear fear, but because it's not good form. Either way it's the same result. I guess I'm just trying to say I generally try to do the right thing because it's right, not because I fear retribution from the devil. Same here.
I want to be clear, all of this stuff is fascinating, expensive, and difficult. With the possible exception of a few trailer-park weirdos like me, it basically takes a PhD to even stay on top of the field, and you clearly know your stuff.

And to be equally clear, I have no inside baseball on how Brain/DM choose when to publish. I have some watercooler chat on the friendly but serious rivalry between those groups, but that’s about it.

I’m looking from the outside in at OpenAI getting all the press and attention, which sounds superficial but sooner or later turns into actual hires of actual star-bound post docs, and Google laying a little low for a few years.

Then we get Gato, Imagen, and PaLM in the space of like what, 2 months?

Clearly I’m speculating that someone pulled the trigger, but I don’t think it’s like, absurd.

My hunch is that they aren't tailored toward ridiculous images exactly, but if they demonstrated "a woman sitting in a chair reading", it would be really hard to tell if the result was a small modification of an image in the training data. If they demonstrate "A snake made out of corn", I have less concern about the model having a very close training example.
I was excited to see this, until realizing that the dish is not meant for permanent RV roof mounting -- I don't want to climb up on the roof every time I stop so I can put out the dish, nor do I want to leave a $500 dish sitting outside my RV.

Any word on whether or not they'll come out with a roof mountable dish or at least a radome to cover the dish?|

They may have gone GA with the RV dish today, I've been waitlisted for over a year for a home dish, and got the RV dish email today.
5G in rural areas is basically non-existent. Even 4G coverage is spotty outside of urban/suburban areas. My house in Montana has 1 bar of cell service - maybe 100kbps down max. Starlink gives me 1000x that.
In the US and Canada: not really.

In other countries, yes. Australia's heroin supply is still basically just heroin, and extremely high purity, even on the street, interestingly.

While fentanyl does exist here, it's not that common. I cannot give a good reason as to why. It's interesting.

I didn't intend to make a theft metaphor. I think a big factor on why this wasn't fair game is when he abused the bug to send tokens manually instead of interfacing with the smart contract which caused it to allow him to withdraw tokens worth ~366 times what he sent. Using a bug to bypass a restriction seems sketchy.

One comment after the Twitter post suggested trying neeva.com. First-page results are useful.

For some kinds of search, DDG's image search ... (faster: append '&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images' after the search term(s) ) ... is the best. For example the search on 'brown spotted moth southern us identify' quickly shows several useful images; click on one to see the source title & url.
5G really only works well in dense/populated areas. In central Colorado I'm lucky to get 4G LTE in town, and usually expect 3G. Most areas in the US west (Utah, Wyoming, etc) don't have any service. It's very different if you're way out.

If you have 4G or better, I'm not sure. Here's a map of 5G from ATT in Colorado:

So there’s someone to free at all? Then there is an issue of personhood here that you’re ignoring when it is inconvenient. Maybe for you bodily autonomy is more important than the personhood of a developing baby. But that IS a moral determination, a choice of your value system, and it is entirely reasonable for others to disagree on moral terms, making this hardly a clear cut issue.
a) Diffusion is not just used to upsample images but also to create them.

b) It has seen images with descriptions of "corn," "cobra," "farm," and it has seen images of "A made out of B" and "C on a D." To generate a high-scoring image, it has to make something that scores well on all of them put together.
Obviously until there is enough renewable energy capacity to charge up storage, there will not be storage built to charge with it.

It's consistent with the practice of using "people-first language"[1]. It sounds a little clunky to my ears in a lot of individual instances, but the overarching goal (making it harder to subconsciously dehumanize people) seems reasonable to me.

Yes, in Australia certainly, coverage of StarLink is potentially better.

Much of Australia has great 4G LTE, but when there's no signal, there's really no signal.

So there are two obvious key advantages to StarLink:

1. Full coverage in the Outback

2. No Data Caps

Despite having a great 4G LTE / 5G network in Australia we still have data caps on mobile plans. Home Mobile Broadband plans without data caps do exist, but usage policies prevent use outside of registered premises!

Also, our NBN has been a disaster in many places, and unusably bad.
It's normal service, normal hardware. It just won't boot you from the network if you travel too far away from your home cell.
I see 5g as the main connection while traveling, and starlink for back country. Is starlink latency low enough to connect to a bluejeans call w/ or w/o video?
We took our dishy out on an RV trip last weekend and it was great. Put it in the back of the truck and had great reception the entire time. I'm not sure I'll be able to go back to terrible RV park WiFi ever again.
Luckily we've been studying mRNA vaccines for over 50 years, which gave us a very good understanding of the long-term effects. What we really needed to test for was short-term effects + efficacy. These are easy to determine when 1% of the population is infected at the time of your clinical trial.

I can't stress how much the COVID mRNA deployment wasn't a "#yolo" moment like some folks still continue to insist.

It was a product of years and years of meticulous research and development. This put us at the finish line, and all we had to do was get over it.

We also got the J&J vaccine out in basically the same amount of time - because like the mRNA vaccines, the adenoviral vector vaccine platform had about 50 years of research and development behind it.

To use your analogy, we started with 10 ladies each 8 months pregnant, and we got them over the line in a month.

That doesn't mean the pregnancy took a month - just that we had a head start.
As i hinted to in my second sentence. I was being facetious
I suggest "modern" here is part of a stronger claim. That if a language doesn't do X, it is not "modern": It doesn't reflect current understanding of best practice, reasonable expectations, etc. It's a failure of due diligence, not an engineering tradeoff.

For example, languages of a certain generation didn't have community archives. Python was born at the transition, and suffered for years with multiple dysfunctional ones. Ruby got gems because of that "don't be Python" cautionary tale. A language of the current generation, putting forth that older story of "people can just put up their code whereever, and no doubt someone(s) will likely make a list(s) of those" might reasonably be described as "not modern".

Software engineering, and language design, reflect a great deal of "you say we've known how to do this better for years... but, well, shrug". Ratcheting up the bar on "modern" seems one way our community achieves its oh-so-slow progress.

With an emotional vibe of "open sewers on streets, regardless of their historical precedence, low build cost, and current prevalence, are something we just shouldn't be doing nowadays."
this is a game changer. i did not know f-string could be used like this, i was largely satisfied with being able to not have to use the awful 2.7 era percentage symbols.

even more reason to love python, right now for me slots and dataclasses is my new obsession. there was a great article that was posted here that went into details about 3.8 and up that featured all these great python hacks
> these networks are really really big, so they can memorize stuff good.

People tend to really underestimate just how big these models are. Of course these models aren't simply "really really big" MLPs, but the cleverness of the techniques used to build them is only useful at insanely large scale.

I do find these models impressive as examples of "here's what the limit of insane amounts of data, insane amounts of compute can achieve with some matrix multiplication". But at the same time, that's all they are.

What saddens me about the rise of deep neural networks is it is really is the end of the era of true hackers. You can't reproduce this at home. You can't afford to reproduce this one in the cloud with any reasonable amount of funding. If you want to build this stuff your best bet is to go to top tier school, make the right connections and get hired by a mega-corp.

But the real tragedy here is that the output of this is honestly only interesting it if it's the work of some hacker fiddling around in their spare time. A couple of friend hacking in their garage making images of raccoon painting is pretty cool. One of the most powerful, well funded, owners of the likely the most compute resources on the planet doing this as their crowning achievement in AI... is depressing.

This reminds me quite a lot of the "pegs" module in Nim.

https://nim-lang.org/docs/pegs.html

identifier <- [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*
charsetchar <- "\\" . / [^\]]
charset <- "[" "^"? (charsetchar ("-" charsetchar)?)+ "]"

Thats a small snippet of how it is used. It's been one of my favourite parts of using Nim to be honest.

The fact one can get similar ergonomics this way in straight Python is wonderful! I'm definitely going to leverage this.

I've done similar in other languages, but it's never felt quite right. re.VERBOSE is also handy to know.
I agree that this case was obviously ruled on incorrectly. The institutions broke the law (stole) by not returning the money, and the judge wanted to give a hot take instead of a legitimate ruling. Not allowing someone to retrieve money or property which was clearly given to you by mistake is theft. The end.

4G/5G coverage has gotten much better over the last few years but plenty of places I go with my RV its not great (usually in the mountains both east and west). Also there aren't great unlimited plans for jetpacks/hotspots/routers very expensive or caps.

Honestly if your serious about reliable access you want multiple ways online so Starlink + Cellular + WiFi wan would be a good way to go, maybe even two cellular carriers.
yeah, to me the idea that anyone would want to write orchestration in something that isn't a programming language where you can write tests in the same language is just so backwards.
