But you are just using virtualenv with pip. It doesn't change any of the moving pieces except that uv is virtualenv aware and will set up / use them transparently. You've been able to have the exact same setup forever with

Is that how that works?! I've always wondered what legal trickery they used since Mexico isn't listed on the WHO's list of countries who don't require Rx for antibiotics.

The addictive component makes sense, does that mean men who are injured and produce less go through withdrawal? Or like men as they age? That sounds miserable.

I'm not saying to sell it over the counter but surely just bring a prescription would be sufficient. I see medspa clinics advertising it to men for its masculinizing effects so it can't be that hard to acquire.

This is just how Intel names their CPU generations. It's far more boring than you're imagining. It's presumably named after https://snohomishcountywa.gov/5383/Panther Comet Lake, Elkhart Lake, Cooper Lak

It's Conservapedia, authored by AI, and exists to present the world as seen through the eyes of Mr. Musk. The hope is that through AI it can be comprehensive enough to be useful and if enough people adopt it you can quietly put your th

You might be right, I'm just talking about "last mile" efficiency. I get electricity at $/kWh and gas at $/therm and then an electric heater is x% at converting that electricity into hotter water and a gas heater is

I think the much better language would be the "no language" database. Throw portability to the wind and just have the client ship the query plan directly. The frontend to the database is howerver you want to expose it in your lang

I'm currently facing this dilemma when it comes to my new water heater purchase. The $/kJ actually delivered into the water difference is so significant despite gas being less efficient that I'm probably going to switch to ga

It will be interesting to see if this will make natural gas a more attractive source of residential heating as the price has remained relatively stable over the past 20 years. The push for electrification seems like it relies on us metaphor

Every durable function platform is so disappointing because they all try to work without solving the hard problem: serializing, snapshotting, and restoring a running program. They all have some API that pushes the work of state management a

Yes? Our boy in the big top hat pardoned the entire Confederacy—he's Pardons—Georg. Nobody would be dumb enough to use number of pardons to argue Lincoln was corrupt or abusing power. 4000 of Biden's pardons were mass pardons. 150

Right, the ability to pardon is a diplomatic tool. Sad that it's being used as a get your buddies out of jail free card or a way to collect donations. I think at this point whatever policy differences between us are probably secondary

It really does seem like folks on the right assume that people who vote Democrat have a lot more love for Democrats than we actually do. The whole Bill Clinton in the Epstein files thing is another example—like yeah man let him hang. There&

I'm not. If they had simply said, "Hey this is getting to be too much work and I don't want to continue anymore. Let me know if you're interested in taking over maintainership of the project." then that's fine.

I don't know either. But it was the first time I'd ever seen this phrasing and searching the internet for it didn't turn up much. So I came up with what I thought the best-faith interpretation of it could be—that due to my (p

I mean it's great that people are figuring out LLM biases but looking at each individual question and the spread of answers seems to support the theory that companies aren't biasing their models (or at least failing to do so) when

I hate saying people are holding it wrong but given just given how LLMs work, how did anyone expect that this would go right? Managing the LLM's context is the game. I feel like ChatGPT has done such a disservice for teaching users how

This is the problem, the law clearly recognizes tracking as something people don't want. The fact that they let every website beg you to allow tracking instead of banning all but functional cookies is the problem. They capitulated to a

It's actually kinda great. When AWS has issues it makes national news and that's all you need to put on your status page and everyone just nods in understanding. It's a weird kind of holiday in a way.
