Well, you know, Bessent could be calling for Trump’s death, in order to be able to legally put his face on coins in two years during what would be Vance’s acting term.

Of course Fox, NewsMax and now even Government websites will be saying Democrats are keeping the government shut down, but not about why they are.

Not currently, but perhaps soon to be thoughtcrime if it smells remotely of antifa.

Perhaps now the developer will create an Android version that avoids Googleplayservices?

Yes yes yes yes yes!!! I was calling for one!

At least you can still make the pilgrimage over ~18 days.

But since even on normal speed trains it takes less than 9.5h from Nihonbashi to 3jo-Ohashi, only the most dedicated cross country hikers would be interested, or perhaps a group would for an annual or once every few years event.

Israel’s government has been doing really well on their part to deteriorate Canada-Israeli relations.

The plan probably involves bears.

Sorry if I am hand-waving away too many details on the implementation, but I’m glad you get my point.

I heard about the announcement yesterday. It’s such silly posturing by Smith’s government. Yeah, there’s no private proponent for this many-billion dollar project, so let’s flaunt tens of million dollars of provincial taxpayer money in front of oil companies, to show how upset we are at everyone not letting us put pipelines where we like!

This is at the same time Imperial Oil is disinvesting from their Calgary offices.

LLM is a functionally an averaging algorithm, I think it’s reasonable to calculate statistical parameters behind its answers using other algorithms. Something akin to the z-value of an answer on a Gaussian distribution, or the standard deviation indicating how spread the potential answers are.

In the last example the one thing that AI really should be doing to have more people trust it is a confidence score for each answer, based on a separate meta-analysis of the data it has available to it vs. its response. The code testing tool kind of analyzes itself to see which issues it brought up are likely hallucinations.

AI is more useful for the “looking for anything potentially worrying out of a big set” than the “just rewrite the code for me and make sure it has no issues and improved performance”. The former it’s fine to not have accounted for anything but the latter, one has to ensure there are no ensuing regressions which are more likely the bigger the patch.

Pointy end up for the spaceflight division, pointy end down for the military division.

One could imagine that conveniently, Microsoft’s online support pages and the amount of support staff were designed to only handle hundreds of thousands of cancelations at a time.

Luckily thanks to the NHS, the money raised will go toward building this driver’s life back instead of directly to the pockets of the private healthcare insurance industry!

I’m already mentally prepared for next year where government websites will have banners and popups saying “the Left is trying to steal the midterm elections, vote Republican.”

In electrical distribution, there are plenty of alternatives, I’ve worked with electrical utilities for a little. In that city, most residential transformers and some legacy switchgear (some up to 80 years old) use mineral oil. In the 90s SF6 switchgear was common to be installed, but the current models of medium-voltage switchgear have neither. And some modern commercial alternatives are appearing for transformer winding isolation and coolant.

The issue comes with higher-voltage switching, such as at substations. If you want to use air separation there, then you’ll need lots and lots of space between to prevent arcing. Since that is not always achievable, that’s where vacuums or agents like SF6 are used instead.

Intel: did I hear somebody say we should announce our newest 14nm+++++++++ platform?
