Building a commercial station isn't very easy. And if you are not investing a a couple billion your not even in the game.

Non of those companies will invest billions on their own. All of those companies investment is predicated on NASA support.

Do you really believe Northrop Grumman will invest billions of its own money?

The Startups are to small an inexperienced.

And Bezos has already said they will not do this unless they get NASA investment.

To just link to a bunch 'commercial' stations is missing the point. These concept exists because NASA has announced they will fund multiple 'commercial' station. But unfortunately Congress has not given NASA the budget for these.
This is not true. Remember iCloud scanning for CSAM? Even though Apple was simply creating a process to do what everyone else (GDrive, OneDrive) was already doing, only with MORE privacy protections, they scrapped the entire thing after significant backlash.

The main point of that section you're quoting is that NOAEL has been set way too high and they didn't account for neurotoxicity. We need more studies. We don't really know at what levels neurotoxicity becomes a problem in human.

> the data discussed herein suggest that these values may still be too high. The results analyzed in this review suggest that the ability of glyphosate, alone or in formulation, to produce neurotoxic effects in rodents has been underestimated.
> I think there's a deeper problem in that the program can't easily tell the compiler what to do

Yes. We have divisions - application, language library, language implementation - which are broadly convenient but drop information on the boundaries. The implementation probably pattern matches on the library and the library will probably depends on quirks of the implementation (e.g. compiler intrinsics written for it), but the application is unlikely to be be able to extend the implementation. In cases where it can, there's a tendency to call it monkey patching and disapprove.

> people mistake inlining to be solely about call-overhead and not specialization

Yeah, that sounds like me. Inlining is an approximation to per-callsite specialisation which is easier to implement, where you pay for ease of compiler development with (machine) code duplication. attributes noinline and alwaysinline are relatively likely to exist, but specialise with respect to the third parameter is still on a wishlist.

This is in the ballpark of compilers could be better, and should be better, than the current state of the art.
shoving advertisements in your face for first-party services constantly

I got a Mac for the first time last year because it was massively discounted. I figured I'd install Linux on it, but was pleasantly surprised at how smooth of an experience MacOS was so I never bothered. I have yet to see a single advert. I get occasional notifications about system updates or prompts to replace my mouse batteries, but otherwise it stays out of my way. Nothing like Windows at all.
What actual policies are you opposed to? And how are you ranking these policies?

You mentioned states seizing kids if you wont allow children to begin transgender transitioning. What is the actual policy here, and when would it apply? The scenario sounds like: a minor wishes to transition and the parents are opposed, the kid wants to run away, and the state takes the side of the child rather than the side of the parents. This is the exact scenario you described, correct?

I think I'm in agreement with you that I'd generally prefer state policy to side with the parents rather than the child in this case. Certainly so in the case of younger children, or when puberty blockers or elective surgery is involved. But I wouldn't go as far as to say that the state should never side with the minor. There are cases where it's better for the kid to be allowed to get away from their parents. Most Democrats and most Republicans will agree that it depends on the circumstance. This is why we have judges and a court system.

But this is also the kind of issue that I think is blown far out of proportion to its merits. Transgenderism is just about the least important issue facing America and the world today.

I strongly believe that most Americans are centrists. This goes for Democrats and Republicans. The problem is that so many on the left see Republicans as racist quasi-fascists and so many on the right see Democrats as woke socialists. Both of these views are wrong.

Does someone being a credentialed US intelligence official make their public statements more or less trustworthy than the average person?
I guess I can see why you feel that way - you intended to say a company that seems strong may be at risk of failing just like any other company (in this case, just because Google seems large does not mean they are not failing) - which is something I (sort of) agree with!

But doesn't it logically follow that the same truth holds for any other 'strong' company, thereby rendering our perception of it (or any other company) worthless? I'm sorry you're disappointed, but I just made a logical continuation, that's all.

In Go, strings are UTF8, but when you iterate over UTF8 characters like this:

for _, c := range str {

variable "c" is 32-bit. So it's not really wasteful, it fits in a register. It can be wasteful if you declare a slice of characters, like []rune, but I don't remember ever seeing it in practice.

To put two and two together, by your definition:

Antiracism is the active process of identifying and eliminating ideas that suggest one racial group is inferior to or superior to another racial group in any way

If there are observable differences between racial groups (not a contested fact I think?) then you are racist or not depending on your values. For example, if you observe that there is difference in average height between two racial groups, and you consider being tall to be good, then you are racist because you must therefore see one group as superior in that respect. The anti-racist response, according to your definition, must therefore be to eliminate the idea that being tall is good.

For example, if you are a basketball scout, and you disproportionately recruit people from one race over another because they are on average taller, then you are racist. Anti-racist activists would aim to change your "systems, structures, policies, practices and attitudes" to ensure that the opportunity to become a professional basketball player is distributed equitably.

But no matter how you implement it, to achieve that goal implies that someone who would likely have been a better basketball player is going to have to be passed over in favor of someone else who was scouted in order to boost the number of people of their racial group in the pipeline. That is, someone was given (or not given) something because of their race, at least in part. Many reasonable people would consider that racially biased, or "racist" according to the way the word is used in common parlance.

No, people do not know these services exist.
Escrow is the simple thing. Suppose you want to buy a house or a car, and you show up with a bag of money and someone else shows up with a set of keys. How to proceed without the transaction requiring trust between people who don't know each other? If you physically get the car/house/keys, what guarantees that title was transferred as expected? Depending on the cash volume and the jurisdiction, there is basically no established mechanism for doing this peer-to-peer. If you're "lucky" then you see a whole industry of middle-men created around trying to solve /skim on this, which then increases the costs of transaction (say realtors or car dealerships). If you're unlucky, then there's simply no way to have a trust-free transaction, and you just weigh the risk and take it or leave it.

This does seem solvable, right? Because there's only a few APIs (bank transfers, title queries) that are involved in a fully automatic escrow. Such escrow could be provided as a free service by the government, or it might be pay-per-use (and simply cost less than markup from dealerships/realtors).

Young women are working ridiculous hours as well.

What child care, most of the highly educated aren't having kids to begin with. (Exaggerating, but it's not the big deal given what most career couples in their 30s make.)

>Pay new grads more than you do women engineers

That's universal as well, not specific to women only. Several companies are overcorrecting by overpaying younger women compared to both the older cohort and their male cohort, too.
> > If you believe what media and popular social platforms report you would think no one uses Facebook anymore.

Facebook is where real life is at. Nobody uses twitter (now X) to organize things, Instagram is just for advertising already established companies and for brands.

Facebook, meetup and Eventbrite are the places where the very first steps of every local community are taken, but Facebook is superior of course because you can bounce back between building a community and talking to your friends and family, plus you can directly reach members of communities which kinda do the same thing as what you have in mind.

Facebook is essentially the 'do stuff' social media, whereas Instagram is the 'promote stuff' social media and Twitter is the 'dunk on other people and start flame wars' social media.

Unironically if the goal of your online presence is to wind up doing stuff in the real world, then Facebook is the only game in town.
He doesn't provide an actual counterargument,he just says he doesn't like the data without explaining why.

His earlier comment that graphite can do the same thing is untrue afaict. Graphite can repel the magnetic field but it would slide off, this is why in diamagnetic experiments multiple magnets are used to keep it in place. In the video it doesnt seem to be sliding anywhere, so imo the video is not showing diamagnetism.

https://sciencecast.org/casts/suc384jly50n

Edit: Actually, now I'm not so sure, it does seem like it's held in place by one corner which is always pointing towards the outside of the magnet, so maybe it is just diamagnetism. If anyone has some pyrolytic carbon and wants to try it out?

Edit2: 99% of YouTube videos on diamagnetism have multiple magnets, the only one I could find that has diamagnetism on one pole magnets shows it not working:

I think it's more than just pyrolytic carbon

Certainly to me, especially given he’s testified under oath to multiple congressional committees and the ICIG. He’s made some outrageous accusations that absolutely need to be investigated. Either he’s lying and we have crazy people in very high levels of government, or he’s not and we need to get this information into the public domain.
Java can't even bother adding unsigned integers or integer types smaller than 32-bits. How long have we been waiting for non-boxed primitives and runtime generics (Valhalla)? C# has had all (except generics) since day one. New "char" types aren't happening anywhere in the near future, unfortunately.
Neat. I had a Thermal Dynamics 12 KW plasmacutter and a rig to control it across three axis. Best tool I ever owned bar none. From thinking about something to having it in your hand in a couple of minutes in steel up to 1" thick. Amazing toy.

I figured out that by moving it faster than it can cut you can 'score' steel and if you use that creatively you can make fold-at-the-lines steel structures that you then weld up on the edges. You can make super complex stuff like that in no time at all and you usually don't need any jigs other than a few magnets to line things up prior to tack welding.

> So are you then implicitly setting the price yourself because anyone who doesn't charge enough can't get more credits?

Everyone can get more credits. The idea is that when we think we need more subscriptions to sell, every developer would get a number of additional credits that is proportional to the number of credits they have (with active subscriptions converted to credits for the calculation).

> But to do that you'd have to let them sell a hundred million subscriptions for $0.01 each.

That would be very difficult for them to do since the number of subscirptions they can sell is limited by how many credits they have.

> Some app which is specialized and requires a million dollars of developer time but only has a market of 10,000 customers.

If you make software for only a few people and you need a lot of money then I don't think this system is for you. It is mostly for developers who make software for everybody.
Ah yes, I agree on that. I think even Elon kind of admitted how she was important for that.

IIRC when FH had turned out to be harder than expected and not really all that useful due to F9's increased performance, Elon had wanted to cancel it, but Gwynne insisted that it stay because they had already sold it to customers and dropping projects like that would be bad for business.

It’s use case specific. And depends on perspective.

Forward slip is mainly used to lose altitude without increasing airspeed, such as emergency descent or when too high on approach for landing.

Side slip is mainly used to maintain lateral alignment with runway centerline during a crosswind landing.

The side slip is predicated on a crosswind, properly done the two forces equal. In effect like “leaning a shoulder into the cross wind” to stay laterally and longitudinally aligned with the runway.

Does a turn require a curve in the airplane’s direction? What exactly constitutes a turn? If a plane is in a bank, there is a horizontal component of lift. But if there’s no change in direction (either heading or ground track) is it a turn?

While there is such a thing as a slipping turn, it means an (insufficient) change in direction for the bank angle. If the rate of turn is zero, it’s just a slip.

Conversely I don’t see how you get a skid without a turn.

A root of the problem is using economic models for physical items with digital goods and services.

IMO the most sensical low level* economic model for digital things would be one where you pay a really tiny amount every time you derive value from something. A fraction of a penny each time you play a song, each time you edit an image in some software, each time you visit a website.

There are a boatload of obstacles to getting to a model like this, but as a thought exercise it's really interesting to consider an alternate universe where this model got established instead of, say, everything being ad-based. Not only would it provide a model for monetizing software, it would also for example completely reframe DRM (making it both far more ubiquitous but also far less antagonizing to the user, since it would be aligned with what the user is trying to do instead of being at odds with it).

* The idea being that this low level economic would exist but for practical reasons (like overcoming human psychology) you might need to overlay a higher level model like a monthly "unlimited consumption" subscription or tax.

If you mean raster images that look like vector and contain arbitrary text and shapes, controlnets/T2I adapters do work for this. You could train your custom controlnet for this, too. (it requires understanding)

As for directly generating vector images, there's nothing yet. Your best bet is generating vector-looking raster and tracing it.
GDPR - Art. 33.1 - Notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority

"In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. 2Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay."

OK, it's not ALL cybersecurity incident but limited to personal data breach... but the delay is 72h !
