I’m confused. The parent comment said “longer term,” and you went on to discuss how it is not going to be used in the short term, due to the need for more testing and cost.

Cost comes down over time, and more testing occurs over time, somewhat by definition.

So… what specifically is debatable about the longer term?

NG-21 just arrived with extra supplies for the extended crew stay. There is a domino effect though. Other payload must be removed to add additional mass. My company has two missions scheduled for SpX-31 - currently on the calendar for 24 SEP - but NYT is reporting crew dragon is moving from 18 AUG to this date.

The schedule is always fluid with rocket launches. Awaiting confirmation.
And it's not like nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and Newtonian mechanics have that different a conception of time. Both describe the evolution of a system using differential equations in time, both treat the world as having a single shared time (like "frames in a movie"), etc. I think the main differences are what evolves in time, and also quantum mechanics possibly needing different rules for what happens to the system when a "measurement" happens.

Also, the idea that "none of the areas of physics make time pass [except thermodynamics], because to them time is symmetric", isn't true, because e.g. the standard model doesn't have time symmetry.

Also also, I don't think it's a helpful simplification to say that relativity simply allows for "distortion of spacetime". SR says that the symmetries we expect of spacetime are wrong, and that a very different group of symmetries applies.
It really feels like they’re just reaching for Rust and don’t know it yet
The counterpoint to this is these are people who have dedicated their lives to becoming astronauts. They want to go to space and they want to do things in space, and they have sacrificed a lot of the comforts of a normal life to reach that goal. I suspect most astronauts feel like they don't spend enough time in space.

These are people who are driven by a passion to do the thing that they're (involuntarily) having to do more of than originally planned. I don't know if "how would you feel" is a good yardstick here; I would probably get sick of it pretty quick, but I'm not the kind of person who would make a good astronaut.
I’ve done lots with AWS and really only ever used GCP to configure Google SSO. I was really surprised by how much button clicking is required in GCP vs. AWS. In AWS, you create the root account, provision a service account, and then all AWS resources are managed through terraform. In GCP, you have to verify a domain via CNAME records, etc., in order to create a root account, and then manipulate the organization policy to provision the service account. While you can create the IAP brand within terraform (as long as you use the root account and not the service account), you can only externalize the brand by clicking buttons in GCP. Laughably, there is an open issue/ticket from more than a decade ago requesting a programmatic way to externalize a brand.
I know "some front end". Some things I have picked up like I always knew them, some things required study, some things I'm not going to be good at, and at this point, I'm old enough to know the difference.
RDS isn't implemented like that and if you are on AWS you can get neon to be in the same datacenter and even pay via AWS.

I don't work for neon, I've just gone pretty deep on all the managed db offerings.
You can do this sort of thing easily with an old Chromebook as well. You can re-flash the BIOS from https://mrchromebox.tech, and then install a standard Linux distro on it. You can use an SD card or USB drive for additional storage.

The problem I think really comes down to there being a generic Truvada.

Insurance for a bit seemed fine with covering Descovy but it seems that is less of a case now since it’s so much more. I would expect the same with a shot like this.

However I would hope that the added benefit of not needing to worry about adhering to taking it every day could outweigh that financial cost for insurance.

I recently switched insurance companies and my new one covers Truvada completely, not even a copay. It’s honestly kinda wild I pay more for my Adderall than I do prep. Obviously I don’t know for sure but I have wondered if it is related to it being preventative and the potential alternative cost makes it smarter to remove any barriers.
Alternatives to waiting include expanding the number of justices and impeachment, both of which are available to Congress
Because of course the same newspaper that spent years overtly peddling the Bush fiasco about WMD on the government's behalf, then later belittling people who argued for a lab leak theory, while also screeching about the supposed Russia connection to Trump after completely failing to take seriously a possible electoral victory for him and becoming hysterical about misinformation being everywhere for that very reason, (and for many things regarding COVID that were later taken seriously as government blunders became known) has indeed been an impartial, competent source of good reporting over the last 20 years.

I have 100% the opposite experience. I was a Windows user for many years. After heavily using Linux for several months, I cannot work in Windows anymore; it just doesn't make sense to me. I feel like I can never predict what the system will do next. I would open a folder with a bunch of subfolders, and it would show me a progress bar. For almost half a minute. "Why? What the fuck are you trying to do, Windows? Why can't you just simply list the files? I just need to see them, nothing else. How come that literally not a single other file-explorer software does any shit of that sort? And why does it happen every single damn time when I open the same fucking folder?"

Search doesn't freaking work anymore. I can't even find an app that I just installed seconds ago - the search instead would take me to the web, opening Edge. Which is another damn pestilence alongside OneDrive Cloud. "No, Microsoft. I don't care about your damn browser, let me use whatever I want to use... And no, I don't care about your cloud." There's now built-in telemetry everywhere, and they're making it real hard to use the thing on your own computer without logging into an MS account.

I like my Linux. It makes me feel liberated from bullshit. Sure, it can feel brittle, but it doesn't feel "broken all the time". Windows feels like it's fundamentally broken beyond repair.
The SOTA models have excellent instruction following capability and the ability to output in any format you want including JSON.

That's all you need from the model to be able to use it in an agent. Tell it to output commands in a given JSON format.

I assume that Mistral's API already allowed you to define the system prompt, right?

The goal of the concept of free will is to explain that there is a possibility of an event to be 'caused' by a human (or another life form sufficiently able).

Without the concept of free will you would have to assume that the cause for the event is originating from something else (a calculation of sorts based on previous states of the universe is a commonly stated alternative).

Free will walks the line of being a physics-based process which is neither to easily deterministic such as stone being heated in the sun or too random such as a radioactive element emitting a radioactive decay at a random/statistical time but still localizes the cause for an event in some assemblage of atoms such as a living being.

Nice.
This seems like it could be implemented without much trouble for consumers, but I actually think for the common case of full AST traversal you'd still want to avoid building objects for the nodes while traversing.

That is to say, ast.NodeVisitor living in Python is part of the problem for use cases like mine. I need the extension to own the traversal as well so that I can avoid building objects except for the result set (which is typically a very small subset). That was what led me to imagine a query-like interface instead, so that Python can give concise traversal instructions.
It seems that there is a persistent desire to call the country whatever you are used to. As a Turkish, I would add the points: You can call it whatever you want. Turkey is the historical name of the region. I believe the bird's name was also adopted from the fact that the bird came to Western world through Turkiye. The bird comes to us from India, so we call it "Hindi" in Turkish. I hope India one day does not change its name to something else because they don't want to be associated with what other people call them. Oh wait, they call themselves as Bharat(a) actually. In Turkish, the word "spice" is called "Baharat". Go figure.

Another important point for people who want to dead name Turkiye is this: When South Sudan was separate from Sudan, they were called South Sudan. Nobody disputed their name. If Turkiye split in two one day, one might call itself "Eastern Turkiye". In that case I just hope nobody tells them, 'no I will call you "Eastern Turkey" because that's what the other country was called which you were part of before.' We are not called "Ottoman Kingdom 2.0" for some reason. Now we apparently chose ourselves a new name to be referred in foreign languages. They did not consult me, tbh. But it fits what we call it in our original language (we call it "Türkiye"), so I am actually happy about it. So if you show respect to that decision then you show that as it is. If you don't respect it then, well you don't, and that's that. No kebap for you (/s).

About Roblox: My nephew coming of age invited me to play computer games. He told me to install Roblox but I haven't even heard about it and it did not appeal to me. I told him to install Sven-Co-op, because Half-Life is awesome and Sven Co-Op gives you multiplayer feature for free. We played for a while but he was dead bored and he quit. I was genuinely hurt but did not show it. New generation likes other things I guess. Then we played Roblox and honestly it had worse graphics than Half-Life, which is 25 years old game. Somehow it was boring to me but enjoyable to my Gen Z nephew. Well I hope he won't get too hardly shaken by the news, anyhow, somehow I feel relieved about this ban. These days he talks about "making his own games". I want to wait until a bit before I tell him the bad news about making games, but in general I am happy about the direction he is thinking.

You are the second person to point this out, and I feel like it should have been obvious to me that this is the easiest way to tell. I appreciate it.
That's less direct than "ECHELON was used for industrial espionage", which is the specific question being asked. Everyone should be aware of Five (and 18) Eyes, but the TLAs having personal information about individuals is different from them passing Boeing data from Siemen's private business documents.

>The incentive would seem to depend only on cost, and any vaccine developer would know that Gilead can likely lower cost at will, making it impossible to recoup vaccine development costs.

This is a good argument that some drugs should be developed by state grants or bounties and the patent is in the state. Something similar delivered covid vaccines in record time - in the form of massive pre purchase agreements.

Sounds like this article was written by someone who doesn't know basic optics. You cannot replicate the action of an iris with a choice of lens, no matter how stable your vision is. Lens (to first order) adjust the plane of focus, while irises control the depth of field.
I'm unfamiliar with the parquet format and trying to understand - are you storing the raw scraped data in that format or are you storing the result of parsing the scraped data?

Are you a virologist, epidemiologist or other specialist with peer-reviewed research pointing in the direction opposite to the conclusions in the paper above? If so, you should publish your findings because that would be a huge refutation of current knowledge and would possibly help the epidemiology of transmission in the greater public.

Until then, I'll take the word of public health practitioners who've been steeped in the field for their entire careers. Their work has been significant enough to be published in Lancet which is a pretty good signal to this layman (though with a bachelor's of science in an unrelated scientific field, so no stranger to reading primary literature).
Yes. Well maybe not perfectly fine. But it is constitutional. It isn't a public bag, just removal from public schools. Generally adult books and belong in schools. The issue here is these (or some of them) are aimed at young adults. You can question whether the books meet the pornography/indecent bar or not.

It must get old after a month or so (or less), and long term effects beat your body up pretty badly.
Neon is a lot more than just storage. It's branching, autoscaling, (cheap) read replicas, serverless computing, etc. If you only care about storage pricing, Neon is not the service for you. As you've said, storage pricing is cheaper elsewhere.
If you ever take out time, I would love to use this app if it had a graphical editor, like drag and drop or something for editing config. Because, I personally find creating database rules in firebase for complex websites tiresome.
Anyways, congrats.
> I admire the desire to make source code transparently available, and let people use it for free, but I think strict open source is the best net good for the world we live in.

Genuinely open source is also a better defense against lawsuits.

If the code is open source, some big company can sue, but the end users have rights as well as the code copyright holder. They're going to have to prove what code is being used and someone is likely to write code around the issue immediately. Sure, lots of people could get sued, but it's either not going to be worth it or someone with a big wallet is going to get involved which puts an immediate stop to things.

If the code isn't completely open source, then a lawsuit from a big company to a small one demanding a pulldown has a LOT more force since end users have no rights in that case at all (see what happened to Our Machinery).

I'm OK with this. When the prompt appears, you're very much trying to do something else, and ya don't need the detour. "Bug me l8r plz."

The problem with that theory is that it is hard to mistake "natural gas" for "CO2". CO2 to CH4 is exactly the sort of thing that people would mix up.

Remember this was called a conspiracy theory when people immediately said that, now it's just true. They tried to drip-feed this information to soften the blow I guess.

In fact, the first people to say that the extension in space was indicative of a serious problem and that Boeing's PR was BS were right, yet they were attacked.
I admit I didn’t think of this, but… without another science mission or something, what do they do up there?

This said, yeah, I wouldn’t want to come back on Boeing hardware with Dragon available.

I think this is where personal problem solving skills matter. I use ChatGPT to start off a lot of new ideas or projects with unfamiliar tools or libraries I will be using, however the result isn't always good.

Yea, it's not really a product for the type of massive bulk storage I'm thinking about. This seems more like the database you use for everything that isn't the bulk storage. Things that get read/written to often enough to care about versioning and HA and all those other things. Time series bulk data wouldn't be a good application for their managed service since it's usually "write once, read sometimes, store cheap".
Ideally the cost would include all externalities and thus allow people to judge the value and bare the full cost.

I read some experts (armchair or otherwise) and they seem to agree it's a standard military strategy - create an attack strong enough to force the enemy to reallocate troops from the main attack directions.

The details here is that Russia has no forces available quickly enough to react. The exception is their air force and AFU came prepared for that. Their AA defence is unusually strong and it shows in Russian aircraft losses.

The other (pretty obvious) detail is that it's the enemy home territory which just makes Putin look bad.
Hm. I thought that AWS Aurora Postgres is a proprietary alternative to Postgres?
It’s ironic when things like this get added back into C-styled languages that were intended to be easier than their predecessors.

Seems more confusing than useful. Wish they’d stop adding onto this ever expanding language.
