You brought it up. I have been talking about structural issues with long term core modules. And that is clearly a Russian issue.

This sense of national pride based on long past achievements will always be bewildering to me. Do you really think a country that is actively engaged in a full scale open land war and whose economy is in shambles is able to maintain (much l

This is just wrong. All serious issues that turned out to be safety concerns were in Russian modules. The 2018 leak you refer to here was in a Soyuz capsule and the 2021 leaks were in the Zvezda module (same place they are this time). In be

The 10 non-Russian modules have been in vacuum for a quarter century and have done just fine despite facing more debris than in interplanetary space. So yes, this aspect is well tested. This stuff is literally part of the reason why the ISS

Seems like these structural integrity problems are always inside the Russian section. So if you're on a Russian mission to Mars, yes it would be reasonable to be worried. Otherwise this seems like a non-issue.

Can someone tell me if this is just confirmation bias or is Boeing really going down this hard? I mean management was obviously tanking since the McDonnell Douglas takeover, but did it really take almost 30 years for this to shine through?

How do you think the other modalities are fed into the attention layers? The other modalities are tokenized as well, that's literally what these separate image/audio encoders created as output before feeding it into the main netwo

Again, that's not the issue here. Long-term, these things should absolutely go into the index if they fulfill the size requirement. It's the IPO process that has people worried (and rightly so).

I genuinely thought this one was a satirical take on the narrow-mindedness of the aliens in the original, even though the story tries to paint humans as narrow minded. I guess this fundamental human trait to believe that their cognition is

It's not about the overall long term risk of the company, it's the inherent short term risk of the IPO that will potentially hurt retail investors. Why not have them trade for a while and go to business as usual so things settle d

This disregards the fundamental reason why people buy index funds in the first place. Rules for consistent GAAP profitability and cooldown periods specifically prevent retail investors from being exposed to particular malicious stock mark

That's actually very common even with respected bug bounty programs. Communicating exploits to anyone else (let alone the general public) will at the very least make you ineligible for rewards.

How would that even work for internet companies without physical stores? Go to Menlo Park, CA to recover your account?

Was it really though? Yes, Docker has become so ubiquitous that you probably can't get a job as a dev anymore without knowing about it, but I wouldn't trust most users to know these specifics. At the very least it is probably less

There's no such thing as a sandbox "on your machine" when you really think about it. The code still runs on the same hardware and there are tons of ways to fiddle with said hardware that could be exploited (like rowhammer). T

90 seconds of breath hold is still way too little to see oxygen drops in a finger pulse oxi. Also explains why you didn't die free-diving. Even with no training you can go much longer than that before risking a blackout (at least under

I'm quite sure no freediving instructor would ever teach you this particular method, because it is a surefire way to die underwater on your first attempt. Free diving breathing techniques usually revolve around lowering your heart rate

One of the perks of designing for cultist brands. Like, Apple could ship the next iPhone looking like the most ugly phone ever, and they will still make boatloads of money from their devoted followers. Same goes for Ferrari. If you want to

Building a ramjet that is more efficient than rockets while travelling at several times the speed of sound is the easy part. The hard part is getting up to that speed first, because they give basically no thrust at low speeds. So you always

It is pretty easy if you use the Wim Hof method. Breathe deep and fast for a few minutes, to the point where you get dizzy or feel weird sensations. Then exhale and stop breathing while being fully relaxed. I've done this while hooked

You can't get "oxygen high" from breathing normal air. The O2 levels will always stay the same unless you stop breathing for a while. What will make you feel weird in the head when breathing too fast is the reduction of CO2 i

Just read how this works and tried it. A bit tricky at first but actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. And it's kind of a fun exercise. Now I'm wondering if I should get a Didgeridoo too.

They only improve your life if you actually work on something that you yourself are trying to improve. Most people are fine with the status quo, so if something like LLMs can take over the understanding of complex tasks, they won't eve

Python is a very convenient skeleton for gluing together high performance modules that were written in C or cuda. Writing boilerplate code in those to adapt them to your project is much more inconvenient.

I think this is just a natural consequence of an easy-to-use package system. The exact same story as with node. If you don't want lots of imports, don't make it so damn easy to pile them into projects. I'm frankly surprised w

The real question is: Do you need to understand it fully for it to improve your life? For example, if you're in fundamental science (or generally a fan of reductionism), it for sure would be nice to understand the universe instead of

Do you really think these models lack the intelligence or language capabilities to handle human etiquette? They can't "read the room" yet because they lack modalities and people don't give them the right context. That&#x
