It’s an interesting experiment, but an issue is that you might not want to give up using your regular language server. Do editors let you use more than one at a time? How do they display the combined results?

If you can’t have more than one at a time, one possibility would be to make the AI language server a proxy that passes through any query results from the other language server, maybe modifying or them improving them somehow. Whatever the other language server returns might or might not be useful context for the AI.
We touched on polyploidy in genetics of course but I don't recall anything that was particularly salient insofar as resistances. In humans xploidy typically results in either excessive protein expression or compromised (≤50%) protein expression - in many cases this is fatal or seriously damaging in terms of fertility/development. There are exceptions, for instance the mammalian liver has polyploidal cells.

But plants are way different in terms of habit, think about evolving to sit in the same place for a hundred years...

These for example could have epigenetic crosstalk between their environment (epiphytic nature) and their hosts. E.g. a special chromosome for birch vs oak. Or drought vs monsoon. Given the endpoint of the species is purportedly 350mn years it stands to reason that a highly specialized and nuanced system of regulatory pathways may have emerged. Sequence data and genomics would be revelatory.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was specialized information per-host which was regulated by signal produced by the host, I think this would explain redundancy pretty well. Different epigenetic pathways operating on different x¹ chromosomes yielding differential response to discrete small molecules/proteins/hormones produced by host species which prove beneficial in the looong run. This could have a whole cascade of effects or just subtle SNP differences which yield fitness enhancements. Essentially each one being a subroutine for each host case producing local optimums.

But I'm just a scrubby undergrad so with a grain of salt. There's probably many other more reasonable explanations, it's biology, biology seeks to find exceptions to every rule by its nature.

I think the key is “teaser”. There is a lot of emphasis in building awareness very early on, rather than releasing videos of a completed project.

Have you seen duckdb_fdw (https://github.com/alitrack/duckdb_fdw)? IIRC it's built based on sqlite_fdw, but points the outbound queries to DuckDB instead of SQLite, and it does handle running aggregations inside of DuckDB. Could be useful.

Well, it's a teaser trailer for the sixth sequel in a well known franchise, I think mostly everyone in the target audience knows what the game is about and trailer is just to build hype among people who would be hyped even if it just said "Civ VII confirmed".
In regards to 3, It might as well be. It's a sick novel for sick people, and I can't believe that it's read in high schools.

Yeah it's probable that I'm idealizing.

My direct experience is very limited, but I've heard a few decent things from people better involved than I am. I suppose "the military" is a wide thing, there must be consequential differences between, say, American bureaucrats and French field soldiers in Africa for example. The former shouldn't be as close to death, or to soldiers who are, on a daily basis.
While it's possible to have attestation without anything proprietary/closed source. If you look at widevine you will quickly notice how that's very unlikely to happen. While it's possible to do this in containers, if you look at how DRM is built into the HDMI protocol, you will notice that it's unlikely you'll ever get to control a base while running the proprietary stuff in a container.

Your idea is somewhat possible, but it's never going to happen in reality. I can already run windows in a VM for the exact same result.
Yeah computing day to day sure is mired in euphemisms for math.

Most editors should let you use multiple language severs at once, they merge the results together which can be annoying.

LSP-AI is not meant to replace plugins. It works best when wrapped and used by a plugin. Our VS Code plugin is a great example of this: https://github.com/SilasMarvin/lsp-ai/wiki/Plugins

LSP-AI abstracts complex implementation details like maintaining document / context parity and providing different LLM backends.

Emulators have to be pragmatic about accuracy, when emulating more modern systems it's generally not feasible to target 100% hardware accuracy and usable performance, so they tend to accept compromises which are technically deviations from the real hardware but usually don't make any observable difference in practice. Anything that uses a JIT recompiler is never going to be perfectly cycle-accurate to the original hardware but it usually doesn't matter unless the game code is deliberately constructed to break emulators.

Dolphin had to reckon with that balance when a few commercial Wii games included such anti-emulator code, which abused details of the real Wii CPUs cache behavior. Technically they could have emulated the real CPU cache to make those games work seamlessly, but the performance overhead (likely a 10x slowdown) would make them unplayable, so they hacked around it instead.

LSP-AI is meant to work with plugins. It can provide auto complete features without them, but to have the kind of experience Copilot provides with VS Code, you will need editor specific plugins.

The alternative would be to collect and ship it back which would require tons of energy that will have to be in the form of fossil fuels given current technology. Said fossil fuels have a huge environmental footprint (greenhouse gas emissions and depletion of fossil fuel reserves) that is affecting us now.

In contrast, the ice shelf is huge and still has a lot of capacity to contain sewage. It should remain frozen for the foreseeable future - if it melts (to the level where this sewage will become liquid) it means the global warming situation is so bad that there's likely no longer any humans around to actually witness this sudden deluge of sewage.

As long as we manage to keep that ice shelf frozen, we're fine. If we somehow fail at it it's likely there wouldn't be anyone around to complain about the sewage anyway.

The article explains at depth what made the madras fabric different than other plaids. Just because you don’t have enough interest or experience in looking at fabrics to be able to distinguish between them, doesn’t mean those differences don’t exist.

I for one found it fascinating and would like to see washdown swatch or panel samples comparing it new vs after 1, 2, washes and beyond. I also appreciated the clever marketing pivot after complaints popped up.
Plants are tolerant of gene duplication, possibly related to the fact that their stem cells are permanently active (which is why you can take a branch tip and get it to grow into a whole plant, quite unlike the efforts needed to clone Dolly the sheep). Their development is thus remarkably plastic (so you can get trees at the snowline that look like small shrubs, while the same species grows into tall straight trees a few thousand feet lower). In contrast, gene duplication at a large scale in any animal would probably fundamentally mess up body plan development in non-survivable ways.

Plants might be under active selection for gene duplication since it does allow rapid evolution and facilitates spread into new environments:

The article itself doesn't really go into why what they're saying is wetlands actually is. There's not really any definition of wetlands that I'm aware that's based on carbon content of the soil rather than it being based on water content either directly (like measuring water with satellite imagery) or indirectly (that only certain fauna can grow due to persistent high water content in the soil).
at my $work we are doing hires in 2 phases, first is mostly talk, and second is "trial day". on the "trial day", the candidate gets simple task (with few requirements and optional bonus points), that we could manage to do in 1/2 or 1/3 time that the candidate gets. the task has to solve something similar that we were working on, so that we test how the candidate perform in real scenario.

in the past few years it worked quite nicely but that still is not bullet proof. and we had to refine our methodology further.

for example one candidate solved the task perfectly, but on the end of the "trial day" the candidate was unable to answer some of our questions regarding his code. so we think that he had access to the task details upfront, or someone else helped;

another example was with candidate that solved the task, answered our questions, but in the office was lacking everything that he presented to us in the "trial day". we suspect that the relative of the candidate helped here, as we found later that the relative has job in similar position in another company.

so the "trail day" is good way to test candidate, unless he has early access to the details of the task, or relative is helping with the task. it sorted a lot of candidates that were unable to follow the task details, or worse lacked team working skills

Trump runs exactly on that platform. (I was super surprised actually. )

Dave Chapelle had a really compelling point about why people love Trump. (I don't support him, but describing the observation)

At the debates, Trump vs Clinton:

T: "The govt is corrupt"
C: "Prove it."
T: "I use all those tricks myself."
C: "Well you don't pay taxes."
T: "Then change the rules so I pay. But I know you won't because all your political donors also use those same corrupt tricks."
C: ...

Of course Trump did nothing to actually change the regulations in a meaningful way, but his supporters do feel that he represents their interests far more than the established, lifetime, incumbent congressfolk.

Depends on the project. For most projects I would personally seek out the pragmatists in the field, as well as people with a healthy skepticism of AI as a whole. Too many AI ethics boards today whinge and fold their hands over hypothetical scenarios that aren't researched and don't pose a demonstrable harm. I would much rather identify problems that are a poor fit for AI in the first place (eg. risking human lives in a self-driving car) and avoid those, rather than pay a bunch of yes-men to feed me lines about safety metrics and diversity targets.
