> Well we've voted representation against funding Ukraine and in this case it aligns with personally not consenting to funding Ukraine.

No we didn't. We may have voted for a president who is against funding Ukraine, but notably his role is not to spend money - that is reserved for Congress, and our representatives did vote to spend this money. Meaning, we voted to spend it, so he has no right to hold it up. That he has withheld it is anti-democratic, because it's contrary to Congress' spending directive, and therefore against the people.

We kind of have microgravity on Earth under water, which provides apparent reduced weight due to buoyancy. Coral reefs and all that.

Underground root/rhizome structures are also bio structures existing in a kind of microgravity since they are firmly supported by the surrounding soil they are packed into.

That may be true but the democratic process was not followed in the end. If you look at the previous election, regions from Luhansk to Crimea were strong supporters of Yanukovych. Those people basically lost their vote as a result of the Maidan revolution / protest / coup / whatever. Should they be required to remain in Ukraine, assuming they don’t want to?

I’m interested in learning more about what you know regarding the Putin blackbail and Europe backfill though - got any sources?
I'm pretty sure there's an issue in the first equation. A Nm (Newton-meter) is the cross-product between a force and a distance and is a vector quantity (more specifically a bivector), while a watt is a dot product and is a scalar quantity. Converting Nm to W is a dimensional analysis error.

Similarly mileage is force along the direction of travel, but that's moreso a nitpick.
Author here. We've been using our Nix based build tool for nearly 3 years (and 14M+ builds) and have came to the realization that the way we used Nix was problematic. So we've starting building a new non-Nix based tool that generates BuildKit LLB directly and allows us to store virtual lock files for user dependencies so that builds are more stable.

A toaster does only one thing and takes up space.

An air fryer or toaster oven does lots of things, and also makes toast.

That's why toaster oven makes very little sense for anyone except if they have a "big American kitchen" and want to fill their countertop.
no, it's the complete opposite. any increase in costs to society means wages have to go up to offset those costs which is what inflation is.
> To do this, we’ve developed Yeager, an ensemble of models including state of the art speech-to-text that can understand ATC audio.

Listening on multiple channels might help at busier airports. Ground, ramp, approach, departure, and enroute are all on different channels. Military aircraft have their own system. (That may have contributed to the DCA accident.)

Something like this was proposed in the late 1940s. The FAA was trying to figure out how to do air traffic control, and put out a request for proposals. General Railroad Signal responded.[1] They proposed to adapt railroad block signalling to the sky.
Their scheme involved people listening to ATC communications and setting information about plane locations into an interlocking machine. The listeners were not the controllers; they just did data entry. The controllers then had a big board with lights showing which blocks of airspace were occupied, and could then give permission to aircraft to enter another block.

Then came radar for ATC, which was a much better idea.

> I don't get it. What is it reserved for then, if the int size is determined when the runtime is built? How can that possibly affect the runtime use of ints?

Types are fully erased after compilation of an OCaml program. However, the GC still needs to know things about the data it is looking at - for example, whether a given value is a pointer (and thus needs to be followed when resolving liveness questions) or is plain data. Values of type `int` can be stored right alongside pointers because they're distinguishable - the lowest bit is always 0 for pointers (this is free by way of memory alignment) and 1 for ints (this is the 1 bit ints give up - much usage of ints involves some shifting to keep this property without getting the wrong values).

Other types of data (such as Int64s, strings, etc) can only be handled (at least at function boundaries) by way of a pointer, regardless of whether they fit in, say, a register. Then the whole block that the pointer points to is tagged as being all data, so the GC knows there are no pointers to look for in it.

> Or is any build of an OCaml program able to target (at compile-time) either 32- or 64-bit targets, or does it mean that an OCaml program build result is always a single format that will adapt at runtime to being in either environment?

To be clear, you have to choose at build time what you're targeting, and the integer sized is part of that target specification (most processor architectures these days are 64-bit, for example, but compilation to javascript treats javascript as a 32-bit platform, and of course there's still support for various 32-bit architectures).

> Knowing one's runtime details is intrinsic at design-time for dealing with systems-level semantics, by my understanding.

Doesn't this mean that C can't be used for systems programming? You don't know the size of `int` there, either.

> But I don't want to build the programming language, I want to use it.

I meant building OCaml code, not the compiler.
How does that explain conservatives doubling down on whatever they hear even if it's obviously false? I guess because they wrongly consider some "low quality information" environments "high quality information" environments?

My best tracks are extended in 10-20 second sections. And I carefully choose the prompt and what to keep and where to continue (crop), sometimes just a few seconds. So you can compose with these models, basically, you have to if you want to get something that isn't bland.

So overall, yes, anyone can, with some luck create a "radio friendly" track with music AI, but not everyone can create good art with it. You still need to understand music, and the more you know about genres and composers and how they fit together the more power you have to create musically interesting patterns.

Keep in mind that Sunauto has 3400 generic tags + an undisclosed amount of artist names. You need to understand what makes it possible to combine different Artists/Musicians and what could lead to something interesting.

So musical knowledge is still needed.
Or there are no “coinciding measurements”, and someone intentionally selected some random dates and numbers based on the sizes of the existing kiosk?

First, you are imputing a position onto me I have not taken. Kaspersky is an entirely different time zone and didn't even get 24 hours to respond and indicated this is an issue for them but one they can't solve directly and what that's the case. They said they're working with their vendor to get this situation rectified. This really is unnecessary alarmism unless the situation is still persisting.

I generally have a very positive view of Kaspersky's actions in the security space and they generally are very very careful of their reputation despite the smearing that happens in Western media (the concerns may be valid but the blanket FUD smearing is uncalled for). They have a much higher reputation in my mind than companies like Symantec.

It could be useful for domains in which all or at least many problems are solvable (i.e., they can be stated and satisfied) with first-order logic.

It could also be useful as a lower-level component of general-purpose systems that internally rely on chains of thought computed by sub-component LLMs.

Cool product. Few Qs:

- What would you say is the agentic approach's special sauce over a typical RAG pipeline, ie query->multi-query generation->HyDE->vector search->bm25 search->RRF->rerank->evaluate->(retry|refuse|respond) that differentiates the approach?

- If a user has 20 services connected, how does the agent know how to call/search/traverse the information in the right order?

- Do you have any internal evals on how well the different model affect the overall quality of output, esp for a "deep search" type of task? I have model-picker fatigue.

- Do you plan to implement knowledge graphs in the future?

No. Countries with their own free choice asked to be part of NATO. The US did not push this on them. NATO expansion happened exactly because none of those countries trusted their neighbor Russia, who had previously invaded them and kept them under its thumb for 50 years. Russia is both to blame for the expansion of NATO and Russia's subsequent invasions of Georgia and Ukraine.
Right - I included the bottom line on trade. There's plenty more context in the article, and only a small sliver is at all good for the Brexiteer. Everyone agrees it's been between 6-30% worse on the trade front, and the OBR estimate is middle-of-the-road in that regard.

Isn’t one of the best gifts a manager can give to their team, the gift of clarity?

A manager able to give their team programmatic tests to pass brings a level of precision which makes it much easier for them to know when the work is done.

If managers communicate requirements in the form of acceptance tests more often, then the problem of projects running over time and over budget will occur significantly less often, because there will be clear finish lines for dev teams to run towards and cross, and reproducible pass/fail outcomes to inspire confidence.
It is a challenge to conduct an election during war.

Never forget:

1) Zelensky sat quietly while Democrats tried to impeach Trump the first time. Zelensky alone could have put an end to that sham impeachment.

2) Zelensky actively campaign against Donald Trump for the Democrats.

3) One of Zelinsky’s radicalized zealots tried to kill Donald Trump.

Then Zelensky reneges on the mineral deal because it doesn’t continue the money laundering proxy war the Democrats and RINO war whores started.

At some point, people might wake up and realize Zelensky is not a good guy.

Maybe.
Sure but that's not really argument for anything, it's just hopium. Oil is a finite resource, it will run out. Just because some breakthrough shift the timelines doesn't mean that the analysis isn't sound. There's no guarantee that another breakthrough is always coming.
Arguably, most developed nations are in the same boat in terms of being able to build a bomb in relatively short notice. The main challenge is probably that refining uranium is intrinsically a slow process.

I do wonder how many supposedly non-nuclear developed countries have secret small-scale refinement plants and the ability to assemble nuclear warheads in short notice. It is the sort of stuff that they wouldn't want their own populous to know, as it is controversial.

In my experience, in a multiuser environment SQLite falls over pretty hard, due to a lack of anything like MVCC.

> Zelensky started making demands

Yes, entirely reasonable and necessary ones (a security guarantee). He only did it in public because Trump had just publicly made false statements that were intended to undercut those. That's what a strong leader does: stands up for his nation when necessary.

> he should be thanking the US for the billions of dollars we already poured into his country.

Zelensky has been thanking the US continuously all along. There's no shortage of expressions of gratitude here. What got Trump angry was that Zelensky wasn't grovelling to Trump personally. That has nothing to do with the US and everything to do with Trump's weakness and lack of character. Trump is not the US.

> you've accused Trump of wanting to get rid of elections for years.

I have done no such thing.

> They wouldn't bite the hand that feeds them.

Zelensky did no such thing, but I could absolutely see Trump doing so.
