It is/was a brilliant piece of work ( Nobel prize level ) - however I think the impact is over-hyped - as somebody who has experimentally solved a protein structure - I can tell you knowing the structure doesn't necessarily help you understand the biology - not every structure is as functionally obvious as the structure of DNA for example.

In terms of drug discovery - even assuming the models are as good as experimental structures, you only get the same benefit as experimental structures - which have helped small molecule drug discovery - but I would argue not transformed it. All the existing challenges with structure based drug design remain.

BTW while Alphafold 2 was a big step forward from Alphafold(1) - it wasn't a complete shock as Alphafold 1 had already topped the charts in a previous competition a couple of years earlier.
A 2.5 inch difference in mean heights isn't enormous, and I think doesn't fully explain what the parent comment was surprised by—the merely 5'8" (173 cm) tall doorframes in the Fuggerei.

Next you're going to expect them to use gases that are sourced for human consumption. But this is a gray market. Nitrous isn't meant to be used this way; so a gas supplier won't want to sell the healthier alternative for fear of getting caught knowingly selling it as a drug.
As much as people dunk on Tesla, they are the only "OEM" car company that actually takes software and self driving seriously. The FSD program is more akin to Waymo (talen-twise, pay-wise, investment-wise, etc.), than it is to Ford, GM, VW, Mercedes, etc.

To me, if you are using an off the shelf solution like MobileEye or Nvidia and you claim to be an "autonomous driving company" its an immediate write off, imo.

Europe has historically not been a leader in software (lack of govt support, brain drain, etc), and especially for something as deep tech as self driving, I find it hard to believe that an European OEM will come out with something compelling.

Presumably: it's not hard. See e.g. https://math.berkeley.edu/~wodzicki/160/Hilbert.pdf §9:

> The axioms, which we have discussed in the previous chapter and have divided into five groups, are not contradictory to one another; that is to say, it is not possible to deduce from these axioms, by any logical process of reasoning, a proposition which is contradictory to any of them. To demonstrate this, it is sufficient to construct a geometry where all of the five groups are fulfilled.

Just formalise this section in ZF, and it drops right out.

I'm too sleep-deprived from a rough night in a hotel, but something about this smacks of "I don't have to wash my towels because I'm clean when I get out of the shower" thinking.
Reminds me of Robert A. Heinlein's "The Roads Must Roll"[0] where highways were replaced by 100 mph moving sidewalks. It will be a bad day if some segments of the conveyor belt has issues and they need to take time to find alternative transport, not to mention large portions of the 310 miles of cargo stuck on there depending on where things go wrong.

> Does anyone find it strange that this is described as a loss for the victims?

I can see it going both ways, yes: this means that 6 billion dollars are not immediately available for compensation.

On the other hand, certain states (Washington was one, if I recall) argued that 6 billion dollars was such a pitifully small amount (relative to the damage done) that they declined to accept compensation in hopes that future lawsuits would yield more.

I view this decision as rejecting the immediate compensation, but opening up possibility for greater compensation in the future (with obvious risks and delays).

As others have said, it depends on what you mean by "safe".

I've been asked for things like this with my domains before, and usually I've declined. Not for safety reasons, but for coherency reasons. If the redirect is to a site that is both on-topic for my site and the other site is noncommercial and/or by someone I already have a relationship with, I'm more likely to agree to it.

If it's a purely transactional thing where my only interest in doing it would be for some sort of reward (in money, attention, whatever), then I'm not likely to agree because I think it dilutes the value of my domain.
> If this decision was just about third-party releases, it wouldn't be before the court. And you know that.

What is the difference between a discharge and release as it relates to the §1123(b)(6) “any other appropriate provision” power this case is about? You seem to have clarity the Court’s members couldn’t find.
> I also think asshole behavior is a subjective label in many cases.

It is absolutely subjective, but I think the advice still applies: "No assholes" means no assholes, regardless of your definition.

That said, I also see a lot of assholes hide behind this reasoning. "I'm not a jerk, your culture is just weak." In my experience, 9 times out of 10, they really are just a jerk.
Let them make a new version if they want, sure, but removing access to the original is what rankles.
where which-key really excels is when you're already halfway through a complicated series of keyboard shortcuts and can't remember the next sequence.

you pause, and the menu pops up to remind you

using describe bindings you have to ctrl-g out of your half entered command, run describe bindings, search for what you wanted to do (without context -- which-key has the context of your half built command and only shows relevant commands, but describe-bindings just shows everything), make note of it, dismiss the documentation buffer, and then repeat the whole command again to try again

much easier to have which-key pop up and remind you of how to continue while you're still in the middle of it, and go away on its own when you continue

if you're really proficient you won't even have to turn it off because it only appears when you pause, so you'll go so fast you never see it

which-key is not a replacement for describe-bindings, it's a contextual tool to surface that information automatically when it's needed and to dismiss it or not display it when it's not
Can someone explain the aside about solar panels to me? The article makes it sound like nobody is buying them despite the advances made, but half the houses in my neighborhood are covered in solar panels, and the only reason we don't have any on our house is because no company will sell to us because our roof is shaped weird!

The engineering solutions absolutely made people willing and interested in installing solar panels.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy law includes a "catchall" provision that “may” also “include any other appropriate provision not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of this title.”

Historically bankruptcy courts have wide discretion to make any "appropriate" provisions, and this document is an argument about what the limits of appropriate include.

Hi Gabe, also Gabe here. Yes, this is a core usecase we're continuing to develop. Prior to Hatchet I spent some time as a contractor building LLM agents where I was frustrated with the state-of-tooling for orchestration and lock in of some of these platforms.

To that end, we’re building Hatchet to orchestrate agents with features that are common like streaming from running workers to frontend [1] and rate limiting [2] without imposing too many opinions on core application logic.

IMHO the desktop environment should provide voice to text as a service with a standard interface to applications - like stdin or similar but distinct for voice. Apps would ignore it by default since they aren't listening, but the transcriber could be swapped out and would be available to all apps.

To be fair, I myself was ignorant of the difference between open-source and source-available. This whole time I thought releasing the source code under a license that restricts commercial use was just as open-source as releasing something with an MIT license.

Dishwashers are also somewhat gross, unless you're cleaning and sanitizing the filter very regularly. A dry and clean environment for dish storage is probably less amenable to molds and bacteria developing on surfaces.
I edited my first comment to clarify and nothing else and YOU commented on that.

We can throw dictionaries on each other however we want for me it still stands as long as you have agency over yourself nobody can force you to do anything. If they take away your agency we can talk about your arguments. But looking at your last comment you are not arguing in good faith so the discussion is over me.
Swim, sea invasion, huge fleet - why? It's the Swedes who would need to do swimming after Russians airdropped VDV onto Gotland in a surprise attack like they did in Hostomel, secured Visby airport, and started landing heavy equipment with Il-76 transports. Russian operation at securing Hostomel airport outside of Kyiv failed because the nearby Ukrainian forces immediately counterattacked. Until recently, Sweden had no military presence on Gotland and the island was entirely undefended.

The only wrong thing here is the idea that the invasion of Gotland would have to look like Normandy landings.

For all the logical arguments both for and against di-dishwashing, I think the main problem is actually aesthetic (at least for me). There's something quaint and appealing to me to know that my dishes are neatly stacked in a cupboard compared to sweating it out on the innards of a dormant appliance.
I find it even more bonkers than that, even. Let's "frictionless vacuum" the problem: I live in a home in which all we eat is breakfast cereal. We need one spoon and one bowl per meal per person. But we own 25 bowls and 40 spoons. When we run out of bowls (that is, when the "dirty" dishwasher is running with a complement of 25 bowls), the "clean" dishwasher still contains 15 spoons. At the next mealtime, we each get a spoon and a bowl. When we're done eating, we put the dirty dishes in… Well, not either of the "clean" dishwashers!

It becomes absurd faster when you consider what a realistic household would own and eat and use. "There's no unloading necessary," he says. Absolutely ridiculous.

Lawyers are fixated on the money for obvious reasons, but the money will never really fix what the Sacklers did (particularly for the many victims who are now dead.) Restitution is largely a farce and we should be focusing on retribution.

Another thing to note is that the scheduling of the substances you speak of (and other non-scheduled like ozempic for example) merely puts them behind a prescription paywall--the wealthy have easy access to beneficial medicine and few to no consequenses from their use, whether that be criminal (possession or behavioral problems under the influence) or the cost of resulting health and addiction issues. Resulting in the non-wealthy suffering exponentially more.

It's very important that these societal and monetary debts are not only paid out, but go to the right people.

TL;DR: Yes in JS & often elsewhere, so read The Grug-Brained Developer[1] to laugh about it

Nearly 10 years ago, we had the left-pad incident[2]. As I post this, people are in a panic over a similar issue. This time it's called the polyfill incident. The details are different, but they don't really matter.

The root cause is the same:

1. People saw nice code

2. They didn't make backups of the nice code

3. Instead, they trusted someone else to keep serving it

This time, the trusted party served malware instead of deleting everything. Innovation!

A more serious (but still oversimplified) take: static linking and/or vendoring can mitigate this for a price:

* Vendoring is copying other people's source into your repo

* Static linking is the compiler doing the same thing with binary code

It's a trade-off:

* Pros: durability and longevity since everything's in one .exe / folder / zip

* Cons: lose flexibility and gain software license complications with the LGPL/ etc

It also isn't as trendy as "what you need to know" articles.

For educational yet actually funny takes, I suggest reading these:

* The Grug-Brained Developer[1], a light-hearted take about complexity being bad

* The famous ML / AI XKCD[3] about stirring big piles of numbers. What's changed since then?

* The size of the number pile

* How fast we (our GPUs) can stir it

* The amount of investor money having the tallest pile can earn

* NVidia's stock price

Arguably, you have it backwards. Self-regulation doesn't work for a while, and then it works ultra well. Boeing got away with poor self-regulation for decades but now their business almost certainly will implode within decades and their market position will be taken over by those who were willing and able to self-regulate. They were rightfully punished and the US government was (theoretically) able to spend more resources regulating elsewhere.

That said, the lag time between the beginning of failing to self-regulate and the beginning of consequences showing up are likely too far apart to make it a sound doctrine for the US government.

If a manufacturer would maximize profits by selling a vehicle for X dollars, then they will sell their vehicle for X dollars regardless of a subsidy.

Certainly a subsidy makes a product more affordable and hence increases demand for that product, but a subsidy can never allow a manufacturer to charge more for a product than they otherwise would charge. A manufacturer will always charge the price that maximizes their profits and that price doesn't change because of a subsidy.
