"...Here, from detailed analysis of Mimas’s orbital motion based on Cassini data, with a particular focus on Mimas’s periapsis drift, we show that its heavily cratered icy shell hides a global ocean, at a depth of 20–30 kilometres. Eccentricity damping implies that the ocean is likely to be less than 25 million years old and still evolving. Our simulations show that the ocean–ice interface reached a depth of less than 30 kilometres only recently (less than 2–3 million years ago), a time span too short for signs of activity at Mimas’s surface to have appeared..."

Not a data engineer per-se, but I do a lot of data stuff.

I find AI has revolutionized anything one-off, and data stuff has a lot of one-off. 80% of the time, I can ask the LLM and get a solution which would take 1-2 hours to code which works.

* Verification of correctness is unnecessary or nominal, since it only needs to work in one case. If it doesn't handle complex corner cases as come up in software systems, there aren't any. And in most cases, the code is simple enough you can verify at a glance.

* Code quality doesn't matter since it's throw-away code.

It's something along the lines of:

"I have:

[cut-and-paste some XML with a hairy nested JSON structure embedded]

I want:

[write three columns with the data format I want, e.g. 3 columns of CSV with the only the data I need]"

Can you make a Python script to do that?

[Cut-and-paste script, and see if it works]

If it does, I'm done. If it doesn't, I can ask again, break it into simpler steps, ask it to debug, or do it by hand. Almost no time lost up to this point, though, and 80% of the time, I just saved two hours.

In practice, this means I can do a lot more prototyping and preliminary analysis, so I get to better results. Deadlines, commitments, and working time has not changed, so the net result is much higher quality output, holistically.

It's a vasodilator, which is means it also reduces blood pressure (that was the drug's original purpose).

So it's conceivable that it could clear a wider exit pathway for amyloid plaques and other garbage that accumulates in the brain.

It's also why a significant fraction of men who take it develop headaches so painful that sex is the last thing on their mind. Welcome to vasodilators.

Oh and if you already take nitroglycerin for cardiac angina, you can't take viagra because you get twice the headache -- right before you pass out because your blood pressure crashed.

Imagine Russia completely disarmed itself, destroyed all nuclear weapons, deposed its entire military, and all military weapons and production capability. Exactly how long do you think it would be before the US invaded? We might debate the timeline, but I don't think you can argue in good faith that they wouldn't be invaded.

But if you accept this then it becomes clear that trust is impossible. You have a power that wants to overthrow you surrounding you with military bases and pointing countless nuclear weapons at you. That, by the way, is also not necessary to maintain mutually assured destruction type deterrence. But it is necessary if you want to consider a rapid first-strike complete annihilation type attack, hitting them before they can return fire.

Of course, vice versa, imagine the US disarmed. They'd be invaded by like 80% of the world within a fortnight. Unfortunately I think the cycle is unbreakable. I don't think there's anybody that actually likes war, but it's been with us since the advent of civilization, and I expect it to remain with us til the end of civilization.
There are no concrete plans for anything with the Serenity ecosystem. But the main design goal of Jakt was originally for developing mainly GUI applications in SerenityOS. But if Jakt ever gets used in SerenityOS, a gradual rewrite of the libraries underlying the browser engine seems likely to me.

I will note though that development on the Jakt language has slowed down significantly. After extremely fast initial development, most Serenity developers no longer contribute to the language. Because everything is done exclusively when the contributors feel like it, development happens in bursts. And right now, Andreas is not actively working on Jakt, so very little improvement is happening there. The main developer working on the language is Ali Mohammadpur, but I don't think he is currently being paid to work on the project. So his contributions are also inconsistent.

>Isn't there a better article?
>maybe they mean 2 MWh, but if that's the case, it is a joke.

There are tons of equally bad articles about this story, which is sad to see. Quality journalism might not be dead but it sure is outnumbered!

However, reading about the proposed mechanism I might charitably interpret it as being able to deliver 2MW peak power, for however long it has available sand.

So an interesting aspect of this is how much area is available for sand, not just how tall the shaft is. If it has sand for 10 hours of operation it can store 20 MWh, if it has sand for 100 hours it stores 200MWh.

Many questions remain, but if it is more efficient than generating hydrogen, and takes less space than pumped hydro (or can be made in areas unsuitable for pumped hydro) there might be a point to it.
I never said I was a National fan but I'm just providing you a perspective on why the country didn't like them because you seem very partisan. That list is how the swing voters see Labour.

They have absolutely failed on housing and now it's sad to see a party of rent seekers in power.

This.

More than anything else, I've found tiling to be the single most important improvement in my workflow in ages.

The closest I've found on Mac (besides some wm attempts), is Rectangle.app, though it's still a long ways off from a tiling wm.

OpenAI developing software that operates devices
Glad to see that more people outside the big ai labs are figuring out how to do fine tuning. Some open source LLM authors also seem to have figured it out.

I think many users get put off it because just pushing a button doesn’t work and the whole thing seems like a black box that you don’t know how to fix when it breaks.

It turns out that finetuning can be debugged, but the methods aren’t well documented (yet), eg by generating q/a, oversampling them, etc

When you get it to work it’s powerful - new abilities emerge beyond memorization.

Just like how llama2/claude2/gpt4 learned reasoning by memorizing sentences from Reddit posts :P

Also, I don’t get the comparison of rag vs finetuning in articles like this - why not do both. RAG is easy to setup - it’s push button. Just do it on all models (including finetuned models).
Yes. It's also used in neonates, both male and female, for its ability to treat pulmonary hypertension -- but also, it is now emerging, for its neuroprotective properties: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncel.2022.8796...

From the same paper, there's some indication that its cognitive effects might be more potent in women, as "[s]everal studies have suggested that sex hormones may influence the effects of sildenafil on the brain. Female mice performed significantly better than males after sildenafil treatment following HI insult, which suggests a sex-dependent effect of sildenafil (Engels et al., 2017). The underlying mechanism might be related to the relationship between sex hormones and the NO/cGMP pathway."

There is no public transportation that can bring me home after saying goodbye to friends at 1 AM in a big city and having to drive one hour to my home in a little town. There is no such public transportation even during the day unless I want to spend 2 to 3 hours on a mix of metro, train and bus. And I don't have many choices about the time to leave.

You could say that it's flawed to live in the countryside and/or have distant friends but my point is that public transportation on fixed lines will never reach every place at every time, especially where people are spread thinly. Taxis can do that, self driving cars can maybe drive their cost down. I could do without my own car if I could summon a public transport car at a whim anywhere I am to go anywhere I want.

You don't have to end the sport, just opt not to play it yourself. The GP's suggestion is valid; if you're getting hit in the head a lit you should stop doing that.
If you can drive in 12 minutes surely the walk itself isn't that long. Public transport is never going to be able to compete over a short distance.

I used to commute 1.5 hours each way on the train from Wollongong to Sydney. The alternative drive takes the same or longer, depending on traffic. Hundreds and hundreds of people do this trip every day (and the equivalent from Newcastle).

Another period of my life was living in Brunswick (MEL) and working in Richmond (MEL). Drive 40 mins to 1 hour, train including 5-6 min walk at both ends 44 mins. I can read on the train though.

Every situation is going to be different. When the public transport is as bad as most US cities I'm not surprised that people don't want to take it, but with European/UK and Australian public transport you're almost certainly better off commuting that way (excluding things like carrying goods, or mobility issues).

This would be true if it were a full takeover. But, actually it is just a small injection of cash. Which will greatly help the flagging Epic, which recently had to endure a relatively large layoff to stay the course. Disney is just making a cool metaverse with Epic that includes both their IPs; Star Wars / Avatar / Indiana Jones / etc and Fortnite, which is why they're providing this money. They were working on the technology together well before this investment. Epic isn't fully owned by Disney with this investment. Tencent has a much larger share.
A well-formed C++ program is one that is "[...] constructed according to the syntax and semantic rules" (4.65).

And of course adherence to many semantic rules in C++ cannot generally be verified statically: "A conforming implementation executing a well-formed program shall produce the same observable behavior as one of the possible executions of the corresponding instance of the abstract machine with the same program and the same input. However, if any such execution contains an undefined operation, this document places no requirement on the implementation executing that program with that input (not even with regard to operations preceding the first undefined operation)." (4.1.2.5).

It sucks but that's the way C++ work, and it would be hard for it to be any other way without GC or going full rust.

This doesn’t make sense. The point of nukes is to say you have them so no one touches you. You become a prickly porcupine.

Russia was negotiating even after hostilities escalated — up until April 2022, when Boris Johnson scuttled the peace settlement.

Since then, Russia has repeatedly offered to negotiate a settlement, but Ukraine refuses to negotiate.

You can believe that’s a good idea, but indisputably it’s Ukraine who won’t negotiate.

What purpose is served by the little toe?

I suspect it provides some (very) marginal help with balancing, at the cost of a microlimb that is particularly exposed to breakage by stubbing. Having broken each of my little toes by stubbing (on different occasions), I can attest that a broken little toe definitely makes it harder to balance. Hell, it makes it hard to stand.

I seriously doubt that there's enough strength in a little toe to provide much help with balancing. So given its propensity for injury, why have little toes not evolved away in large bipeds? (I don't think birds or quadripeds are prone to toe-stubbing)

Lolwut. Anybody who could believe that has never been a swimmer. Of course aspirating drops of pool water, and the chlorinated air lingering above pools, is going to be a lung problem. Why in the world would anybody with preexisting respiratory issues gravitate towards swimming? That's ludicrous.

People forget that the movie came out nine years ago and shouldn't pass for "recent years", which the discussion above is about. The movie also primarily sold through hype to kids who grew up with the prequels, which had little to do with the quality. People, including me, still lived in denial back then. It wasn't until the second movie that my friends realized how terrible Star Wars had become and promised to never watch a Disney movie at the cinema again.

Hi! I'm the author of flawless.

Exactly once execution is one of the guarantees I want to provide. Flawless should always give you peace of mind, and in cases it can't guarantee exactly once execution it will sacrifice progress. When interacting with the real world, hardware and software can fail in creative ways and it's not always possible to automatically recover without manual intervention. Sometimes it's just not possible to solve issues without looping in a human. But flawless will not repeat a call if it can't guarantee it was not performed or if it's not idempotent.

For many features, like HTTP requests, flawless uses a dual commit system. In cases where data was sent to an external server, but no response is received (timed out), we can't know what the external system observed, and will not allow progress to continue (fail the workflow). You can relax this requirement by marking the HTTP call as idempotent.
