No, the thing stopping the terraforming of Mars is any realistic idea of how to do it. Maybe in a few hundred years we'll have the technology to terraform a barren, cold, almost atmosphere-less planet to make it livable to humans, but not before then. And it will still take 1000 years to reach a livable state after you start.

And however this may be achieved, it definitely doesn't require humans living on Mars to do it. In fact, it is almost certainly going to only be possible if you don't have people there already, with life support systems adapted to the old status quo.
The whole problem is that putting any sesame in might kill somebody with a severe enough allergy. There should be some gradation to the labelling, because "contains absolutely no sesame" is extremely hard at industrial scale, but "certified to contain less than Xg of sesame per 1kg of product" would be pretty easy to test and still useful for people who don't die from ingesting a single grain.
Actually, Bimbo has an official Chinese brand and company name "宾堡". The "宾" means guest while the "堡" means castle or fort. "宾" sounds like "bin" in "Bing" and "堡" sounds like "bo" in bottle or boom (not exactly, hard to pickup a word sounds exactly the same). It is a meaningless word which has basically the same pronunciation with "Bimbo".

As for bread "面包"，"面" means powder of wheat or products made by that. "包" means something looks like a bag, or has some fillings inside. Just not so meaningless. And "面" sounds like "me" in "mean" plus "an" in "and". It is not the same like "宾堡".
> How do they know it's better?

From the article:

"In our experiments a second random trainer preferred critiques from the Human+CriticGPT team over those from an unassisted person more than 60% of the time."

Of course the second trainer could be wrong, but when the outcome tilts 60% to 40% in favour of the *combination of a human + CriticGPT that's pretty significant.

From experience doing contract work in this space, it's common to use multiple layers of reviewers to generate additional data for RLHF, and if you can improve the output from the first layer that much it'll have a fairly massive effect on the amount of training data you can produce at the same cost.

Too far the other way will likely lead to a pseudo ban on Sesame seeds. It just wouldn't be worth the risk. Or the cost of it will get pushed on the 99.999% who won't die from a single Sesame seed.

I didn't see the debate. Nor have I listened to the news. But I've been saying to my family for weeks that the best thing that could happen for Democrats right now is for Biden's incapacitation to be exposed to the world at the debate, forcing him to withdraw from the campaign, and for Dems to get behind a young candidate that energizes the country.

From what I understand, that's looking increasingly likely to be what occurs over the next 30-45 days. If I am correct, then that is going to dominate the news over the next 6 weeks and bring talk about exercising the 25th Amendment if Biden refuses to step aside.

The thing that worries me most is the risk China, Russia, Iran, or Israel try to take advantage and do something stupid during the next 6 weeks. For that reason, I believe it is critical to the country for the 'powers that be' step in and pretty much force Biden to step down as President within the next 48-72 hours. It is a very dangerous time.
> Far short of the 10M figure you are introducing for whatever imaginitive and creative purposes.

I didn't introduce the 10M figure, I linked an example article where it was used (the Ynetnews one) -- it is a common number I have seen of those who died in Soviet prisons. Maybe not specifically those who were captured by the NKVD -- but I think a lot of people were dropping dead who were also not political prisoners.

> 10M in this category -- the number who perished "Yagoda's torture chambers" throughout the USSR before the start of the war; and "about half" being in Ukraine;

No -- I said about half of these excess deaths were in Ukraine, most of that half being made up of the 5 million people killed in the Holodomor.

I'm sorry I don't have perfectly legible accounting of the millions of people Stalin killed in Ukraine, but with the lower bound being in the millions I don't think saying 7.5 million people killed in Ukraine is unreasonable. The Holodomor killed 5 million and then there's assuredly another 2.5 million made up in further excess deaths there somewhere. I don't know if it is perfectly accurate and I don't care. These were the people who Bandera had a fiduciary duty to protect, as a leader of Ukrainians. I don't support the evil things that happened in Volhyn and Galicia, but those things had a historical context where there was a credible threat of millions more lives of his countrymen on the line. Tough choices had to be made and he made them.

You can use celery with postgres without issues if you want the stuff you don't get with that, like tweakable retries, tweakable amounts of prefetch and other important-at-scale things. Plus out of the box working sdk with higher level patterns for you developers.

As DHH himself says here: The cloud allows flexibility, which is essential when you are figuring out what you are doing, as in a startup. If you are large and stable and know what you want, then yes, you can go on-prem. But note that the cloud providers will negotiate significant discounts for large customers.
Is that a problem with the underlying infrastructure though? Im not seeing how using postgres queues would solve your issue... Instead it seems like an issue with your client lib, SAQ not providing the appropriate tooling to debug.

FWIW, Ive used both dramatiq/celery with redis in heavy prod environments and never had an issue with debugging. And Im having a tough time understanding how switching the underlying queue infrastructure would have made my life easier.

FWiW Michael Young, Baron Young of Dartington, the author of the 1958 book The Rise of the Meritocracy popularised the term which rapidly lost the negative connotations he put upon it.

He didn't invent the term though, he lifted it from an earlier essay by another British sociologist Alan Fox who apparently coined it two years earlier in a 1956 essay.

First, starship is not a working rocket today. It will be made to work, but that's still in the future. They are now at a stage where they can take one completely empty rocket and put it in LEO, with a little bit of fuel left over for descent. Getting a fully loaded rocket in LEO, then sending another twenty rockets to refuel it in space, then powering it on a trajectory to Mars, with enough fuel left over that it can safely land on Mars, is still probably around a decade away. And then getting it to launch again from Mars and land back on the Earth is a whole other can of worms, especially if you want it to leave with living humans on board.

Secondly and more importantly, we don't have the robotics knowledge to do arbitrary construction projects in this way. Digging through frozen rocky terrain in the extreme conditions of Mars is not easy, and we don't even do that autonomous here on Earth. The Mars Rovers are at the forefront of technology in this area, and they can just about move over the rocky terrain.

And of course, sending people there to operate the machines without first having a shelter is not an option, they will likely die of radiation poisoning long before they finish the project - the thin metal walls of a rocket are not a good radiation insulator.

I checked the couple of bread products (from Migros) I have at home, and they all say "may contain sesame"? Maybe that's not a representative sample though.

I'm not sure what the difference is, except the US goes one step further and asks "please don't say it may have an allergen if you don't have to". It results in products definitely having the allergen, but is "may contain" any better than "definitely contains"?

> Is there some reason that the Linux kernel couldn't offer a stable API for device drivers?

Politics. Offering a stable-ish internal API would instantly lead to hardware vendors shipping closed source drivers for Linux.

Currently, you have to be the size of NVIDIA or AMD to be able to afford a closed source driver, it's simply a huge work to keep up with the constant improvements in the Linux kernel.

Similarly, I always like to say you should plan to write (at least) two versions/iterations of everything. The first one bottom up, to discover what problem you're solving, and the second top down, once you know the problem.

I'd honestly trust the factory more than the local bakery if a single Sesame seed could kill me. At least at that scale, it'd both have to happen and I'd have to be the one to have it happen for. In a bakery the Sesame seed items would probably be made within 5ft of everything else.

>They still exist, and some of them just make plain bread,

Honestly have never seen this, every bakery bakes at least something else that can be described as more than just plain white bread.

I don't quite understand the use case for this sort of app (generating a nice changelog from a well structured commit history.) In my experience if your team is disciplined enough to use something like Conventional Commit rigorously you don't actually need an app. The history of the merge commits or pull request descriptions is usually enough, unless you're passing the changelog to particularly non-technical users, in which case you need a human to write the changelog regardless.

For an app to be useful you need to have a case where you want the data from the commit history to be useful in the context of a doc, where you retain technical descriptions written by devs. Just copying the commit descriptions into a doc, even in a nicer format, feels like theatre to me. You aren't gaining anything. Non-technical users won't benefit from it and everyone else can learn 'git log'.

There is an arguement that using this would push a dev team to improve their commits, but in my experience if the team lack enough discipline to write them well a time saving tool isn't enough to push them to get better. They're probably not writing a useful changelog yet, so this doesn't save any time at all.

I really hope I'm missing something.
Company Won't Pay:'(
Hi,

I'm from the Bay and just over a year ago I joined a YC startup (my first job). It was great going for the first 5 months, till I stopped getting paid.

Every month, she says give her till the following month which has been the trend till now. I am demotivated but she still makes requests.

My question is, what can I do to force her to pay up? My bills are piling up and I held on this long because I believed in her and in the company mission. I feel like such an idiot now.

Thanks

It's not just Germany that is very sensitive towards guns - that's an attitude prevalent on the entire continent, maybe except the Balkans and Switzerland. The UK has even stricter regulations on guns, and not just guns but also other kinds of weapons like knives.
It's only lifesaving if you want to risk your life. If I have a deadly allergy I'm staying away from certain food groups and am not going to leave my health in the hands of some crappy labels. Have something else other than bread. That's how many people I know with allergies deal with it and it seems the most reasonable approach. In this day there's so many different foods to eat, its easy to have variety without risking it.
> The first excuse she gave was that it wasn't possible. She lied.

This may be the case, but I can find no evidence of such a statement having been made.

> As to the second excuse, if that true, they wouldn't have eventually bothered, but they did,

The justification was to do the interview so that they could continue to maintain the charges, which seems reasonable. Assange (nor anyone else) should not be rewarded for making themselves a fugitive to avoid a trial.

> But somehow it seems to get people who try to defend the way the Assange case was handled very worked up.

Well yes, mostly because (at least until he was actually put in jail in the UK) he wasn't actually subject to any human rights abuses or injustice. He, in fact, was treated with extreme deference and privilege compared to most people accused of crimes, and yet because of his platform people demand his kid gloves be treated with kid gloves.

You cannot claim that someone's self-imposed exile is a human rights abuse. At that time, he was not imprisoned. He could have walked outside and faced justice and, he'd likely have been free sooner and with less detriment to himself.

It is primarily because he had (as we can now see: unjustified) conspiratorial fears about getting disappeared that he suffered so much. And the majority of that was at his own hand, or as a result of him committing additional crimes to avoid facing justice for the alleged ones.

If you actually care about human rights abuses, Assange is a terrible person to platform, both because he is eminently unlikeable and because his suffered "abuses" aren't really. Someone in Riker's likely has it worse, and less ability to improve their situation.
