This is a really weird response on your part. You are misleadingly reframing the drug use part: it was THC gummies bought legally in NYC, and they had no evidence of drug use prior to searching his phone, a search which was motivated by the

It will get so much worse. The Palantir project will likely evolve to suck data directly from Meta, Gmail, X, Reddit and the systems of other US companies to create profiles based on non-public data (likes, DMs, deleted posts, comments, etc

This is a little complex. It really is just a simple interpolation between two quaternions on the sphere surface in sphere relative space. You can use the squad interpolation function with two quaternions and just reconstruct back into sph

This is what Trump is doing to Harvard right now. He even is pushing legislation to tax their endowment and also has an executive order to deny them and on them foreign students.

Which seems fair, because I live in a normal home with breathing humans and not an industrial setting where VOCs are produced in other ways. How wildly off were the readings btw? And were you doing things related to VOCs? Which reading wa

It is also a limitation that many initial DOS 3D software rasterized games had (e.g. Descent.) This is because perspective transform requires a divide per pixel and it was too costly on the CPUs of the time, so they skipped it to get accept

We need to get valkey into the default distro package managers. It sucks having to add keys and update the distro get valkey installed in say a GitHub Action runner.

Yeah other people have executed but this actually true of anyone who starts companies and employs tons of people. He isn’t a sole practitioner in a lab. Also the ideas are not completely his mostly because this isn’t novel basic research.

Siril is for integrating a lot of images together that are tracked and then removing the background. While you may be able to use it untracked it is primarily for tracked images.

Yeah, when they mentioned that they couldn't put any more services on their main DB because of this issue I did a facepalm. They are building out explicit tech debt now because they are not sharding.
