Never had mutton myself but other meats I like that are uncommon to find in US grocers are duck, quail, and goat. Duck has gotten easier to find I suppose, the whole foods near me will sell both whole and breasts. I don't remember this being the case 3 years ago.

But finding goat is very hard. I don't tend to go to butchers since there are none near me within walking distance.

When I lived in Florida I'd routinely eat at Caribbean or Dominican or other tropical cuisine restaurants that would all serve goat. Some of my favorite meals I've ever had were in those small hole-in-the-wall places.
I... did mean that. And, I have a suspicion I may have written it incorrectly many other times in the past, so thanks for pointing it out!

The USA sold lots of weapons to Iran pre-1978. That didn’t stop war from breaking out in the 1980s (Iran-Iraq) or after (all of the smaller battles/state-sponsored terrorism).

I don’t think that “more countries holding more weapons” is the thing that stops/prevents wars.

And I think people have to remember that cyber weapons are very asymmetrical. It is akin to nukes/bio/chem/nerve weapons, not just conventional weapons.
The problem as I understand it is that schools have stopped teaching students to sound out words and instead are teaching words as pictograms.

EnerVenue's website has some claims that imply (but do not state, and remember this is marketing material!) it is much less delicate:

1. No thermal runaway and "phenomenal overcharge, discharge and deep-cycle performance"

2. "Flexible charge and discharge rates"

3. "Vessels can discharge to 100%"

4. Specified charging rate of C/12-C/2 (i.e. can be charged at rates from 1/12 the capacity per hour to 1/2 the capacity per hour)

They do require usage of a tiered BMS though: https://enervenue.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/202...

Although the HTML/CSS field is just a hobby to me, CSSBattle was, and still is, an odd yet entertaining way for me to understand the most common properties used, especially in web design. A community that welcomes all kinds of developers, from professionals with years in the background, to newcomers that want to give themselves some entertainment while building knowledge upon HTML/CSS. CSSBattle is a game that encapsulates some of the most mindblowing ways of recreating visual targets, even with basic properties that you wouldn't think they have so much power.
(Just to clarify, it is a really bad idea)
Exactly, the same reason we don't eat goat either.

Goat BBQ is absolutely delicious. But it is a strong flavor that lingers for a long time. It's just not palatable for the average American consumer to eat on a regular basis.

On the one hand I absolutely wish we had a wider variety of meats available. But on the other hand I totally understand why there isn't enough demand for it to be economically viable.
People (especially kids) usually lack the personal will power to plough through a subject matter on their own. Having a real human placing demands and expecting results does wonders. Being part of a class taking the same subject also helps with motivation. Professors and other kids don't need to be prompted to talk to you, so they are not so easy to avoid as a chat bot.

I do say, though, that "property rights" do not guarantee absolute sovereignty. Democracy specifically exists to rob the wealthy land owners the privilege of exerting their will upon their neighbors and fellow citizens. The will of the people is regulation.
Well, since you need licenses for those cows, which are limited in number, by not exploiting those (and also not selling those!) you _are_ indeed offsetting some emissions. (Given that the quota are not adjusted for unexploited licenses).

It's possible (but I think unlikely) it could be somewhat due to different usage of words than the English language changing completely (which clearly didn't happen).

i.e. maybe instead of lots of books having direct text like "David said" or "Dora said", over time there was a trend to use a different more varied/descriptive way of describing that, i.e. "David replied" or "Dora retorted"?

I could have explained that better. The numbers on the Y axis indicate the min/max for the week, and the ones next to the days of the week are min/max for the day. The temperature graph is also scaled to not go all the way to the top of the graph. It's entirely possible that there's a bug in my code though - I didn't really write any unit tests for it.

The shaded area is a percentage and does extend to the top of the graph region, which means 100% chance of rain.

The falling popularity of reproduction probably intersects with the falling popularity of monogamy, albeit in unclear ways. All these trends are linked to reliable contraception, which disconnects sex from reproduction; however, I suspect that contraception merely facilitates / accelerates the cultural trends rather than being their primary cause.
If fertility rates remain below replacement levels, then eventually we will go extinct. How far below replacement determines how quickly this will happen.
I submit that my problem with this is that mRNA therapeutics aren't vaccines, they're mRNA therapeutics. The word "Vaccine" comes from "cow" because of cowpox.

Changing the definition so pfizer et al can rake in $50 billion is what i take issue with. If they had said "This isn't a vaccine it's genetic modification" or whatever, no one would have signed up for it. It was a concentrated effort to change language. Control words, control thoughts - George Carlin was commenting on this in the 1990s!

No, it's more like NSO running a murder for hire scheme. The actual deeds are done by NSO employees using NSO's infrastructure. These "cyberweapons" aren't like guns, they don't hand this stuff over to the custody of anybody who buys their services. The buyer points their finger and NSO does the shooting. All targets are known and therefore approved by the Israeli government.
The 'archaic' is kind of fun - when I wrote this originally in '95-'97 the machines were ~10 years old; that was old for the time. But that point was over 20 years ago - so the time since I wrote the emulator is much longer than the time from the hardware to the emulator.

Looks super cool! A few questions:

1) Can you get the actual code output or will this end up calling OpenAI each function call?
2) What latency does it add? What about token usage?
3) Is the functionality deterministic?
You are quite right, it was just a sudden thought before I hit the submit button that such a tool can actually be just as useful as a WYSIWYG word processor.

Does anyone remember Wordstar? It was not WYSIWYG but it was perfectly usable. I wrote hundreds of pages of documentation using it on a Z80 extension to an Apple ][. In my opinion such a word processor is in fact more productive than WYSIWYG. Moving to MS Word was a step backwards.

Startup Army: How the War in Ukraine Is Rewriting the Future of Defense Tech
The weekend after the Wagner Group rebellion against Moscow, Squadra Ventures Principal for National Security Dan Madden arrived in Ukraine to learn more about how technology, government, and startups were evolving together in response to the Russian invasion. He spoke with government officials, startup founders and engineers, civilians and soldiers.

Conversations in the city streets and stories shared from the battlefield revealed that innovation during wartime is shaped by a nation of people who are steadfast in their will to fight and a collection of tactics and capabilities that are constantly advancing.

These discussions also clarified a hard but looming truth — that most U.S. and Western systems are massively underperforming expectations.

Dan offers observations and analysis on how the war in Ukraine is reshaping defense tech for U.S. policy makers, DoD leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors.
I wish I could find mutton easier! I've always loved "Gamey" meats. I've mostly only found mutton at Halal butchers, and only some times. Rarely at extremely "high-end", bougie butchers, and very expensive.

Edit:

As someone else mentioned, it's a lot easier to search for a job when you don't have to juggle a full-time job. I took a "relaxed" pace of waiting for the monthly "Who wants to be hired" thread, jumping on it, and riding out the interviews, ect, for the rest of the month. If I was desperate, I would have taken the "your job is finding a job" approach.

However, as I mentioned that I had to apply to 50+ jobs... It's really, really hard to do that while having a full time job. I wouldn't have the bandwidth to do that and a full-time job, because I probably put 100+ hours into my job search. I don't get to put 100 hours a year into my hobbies!

Elsewhere in the comments someone linked to this: https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/lossless-compression-wit...

It looks like dropbox experimented with disabling bounds checks in their huffman coding impl, and found that using the unsafe pattern increased throughput from 224 MB/s to 249 MB/s (11%-ish faster.) We don’t even need to hypothesize about whether webp would have elminated bounds checking, we can see that other companies arrived at the same conclusion: Disabling it can be worth it if you’re quite sure you’ve gotten the up-front checking right. We can imagine that if Dropbox went to prod with the unchecked huffman implementation (never mind that that article isn’t about webp in particular), we could imagine they could easily have the same bug. And I don’t think a naive code review saying “unsafe is bad” would have stopped them from doing it: they clearly did the work to show why it’s worth it.
There's been at least a couple points in history when the homo sapiens population was <10,000... the current population is 8.1 billion. Seems unlikely, and certainly not something we'll personally have to worry about.

Lamb is also sheep's flesh, but it's not the same as mutton. Lamb is indeed very commonly available, though usually still in fairly limited selection, but I can't even remember the last time I saw actual mutton for sale.
Yes, similar ideas. Marvin [asks the LLM to mimic the python function](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/blob/f37ad5b15e2e77dd998...), whereas in magentic the function signature just represents the inputs/outputs to the prompt-template/LLM, so the LLM “doesn’t know” that it is pretending to be a python function - you specify all the prompts.

It sounds very similar to the GST (goods and services tax) wee have in Canada, which was introduced by Brian Mulroney in the 1980s.

Small operators are exempt from collecting GST. What that means is that if a small operator is your supplier, then when you purchase something from them, you don't have a GST receipt. Thus, you cannot claim the "input credit" on that purchase to recover any GST.

I'm not entirely understanding the situation in Japan from the article's description, but it sounds an awful lot as if the people exploiting the small-time suppliers (freelancers making less than 10M 円) must have been fraudulently claiming that they paid the tax to those small-time suppliers, and using that to claim offset credits to reduce how much of that same tax which they collected from their customers they remit to the government.

The freelancers will look 10% more expensive, because the corporations which exploit them can't use a loophole to hold on to tax dollars.

"Please sign my petition so that my employers, who won't give me a full time job but keep me around as a disposable contract worker, can keep stealing tax money, so that I look cheaper to them, and consequently have a job so I can continue to barely make ends meet."

Because the crown exercises it's power in secret behind closed doors, not using the official assent procedure. They don't need to refuse assent to a parliamentary bill because the crown communicates their displeasure with bills before it even gets that far.

I'm not sure about the USA but here in Canada there are legal restrictions on game. In Ontario, you can't sell meat from game. (You can't even give it away, technically, unless it was inspected and butchered by a licensed butcher.)

So any venison in the store will have come from farm-raised deer. And deer are relatively difficult and expensive compared to chickens or cattle.

I can find mutton and venison, and also horse meat, in upscale grocery stores here in Ontario. It's all terribly expensive, except lamb/mutton from NZ when it's in season.

"Let's do wind turbines to generate clean electricity!"

The wind turbine manufacturing and decommissioning processes are hugely inefficient, not to mention the negative impacts wind turbines have during their operational period. Regardless of these findings large areas of land in North America and Europe are littered with wind turbines. Oh while we're at it lets shut down all the nuclear power plants because we're scared of them.

"Hey, this whole green energy thing has been a total disaster. Regardless, let's start setting arbitrary deadlines on which we want to eliminate gas powered cars and replace them with electric cars that rely on our disastrous green energy rollout!"

The push to widespread electric car usage is ignoring major infrastructure short comings in many places where the push is happening.

It's almost like the people in charge of this stuff are a bunch of idealistic nitwits who are risking plunging us into the dark ages.
