Wouldn’t that necessarily mean that if the US keeps making enemies of allies, then the premium required for these countries to give US money would be higher? Sure, I’ll lend you some, but I don’t trust you that much, you’ll have to pay me more.

Do note that Github Actions have been the target of like 50 different attacks and I would not combine publicly hosted code with your own runners, as without proper sandboxing it can lead to anybody executing any code on your machine just by opening a PR (might have been fixed since last I heard, but the general vibe stands).
What would they be cheaper on? Solar panels are a little bit more effective and they will have a 24/7 coverage if placed in the correct orbit.
However, they would be much harder to cool (space is cold, yes, but heat transfer in vacuum does not work easily and most large structures, such as ISS, require dedicated cooling radiators that take up a large amount of space.) The launch costs would be still very high, maintenance impractical and the large, large surface area of solar panels and radiators would just be primed for being struck by debris.
What orbital data centres are though, is a good dream to sell, a fine way to dismiss environmental concerns of data centres on the ground - “We’re soon going to start putting them in space, but just for now we have to build them on earth. Please approve our requests.”
I’ve personally had thoughts about what I would do if I were millionaire, and given the amount of stories of people coming into a large sums of money and their life getting significantly worse, I’d prefer to actually not win it.
What do you think? Do they have a point and is their alleged law-breaking simply for the greater good of pushing civilization forward, or is this just a desparate comment of someone who based their business on illegal material?
The article rightly points out that for most companies, there is simply no need to move to SQL Server 2022, the 2019 suffices and has LTS for another five to six years.
Infrastructure should be boring, tools should be boring . The more boring they are, the better support they usually have, the more stable they are.

Four friends died on October 24 in a Tesla Model Y that caught fire after crashing into a safety barrier on Lake Shore Boulevard in Toronto. After the crash, it appears the car’s electronic opening mechanism stopped working, preventing the occupants and others from opening the doors.
If a candidate ignores the law, they are barred from running. That is the basis of democracy.
I do agree that it should be noted that this was the winning candidate from the first round, and so a lot more care should be placed into making sure the case is airtight and no errors were made in the investigation.
Do you think there should be no such laws? Or do you think the courts have made an error in their judgment?
People tended to underestimate gender differences in areas such as cognitive abilities, occupational distributions, and academic performance (e.g., GPA in different college majors). In contrast, they overestimated differences in personality traits, behaviors, and social attitudes.
Would a question be something along the line of "Which gender has better grades in STEM?" or "Which gender works more often as a nurse?". If so the results do not surprise me much, but I would be definitely interested if there are any actual findings from this research.
Writes maybe, but how much time is spent on debugging the terrible code written for the last five percent? Connecting bits and bobs together is pretty critical towards a fully realised product, and as the interviewee in the video points out, "it's not very good at debugging", because of course it is not. Has anyone actually made an AI workflow that would allow it to debug and actually solve real business problems? The best I've seen was solving off-by-one bugs, pretty obvious ones at that.
* We sewed AirTags into each of the 15 garments, hiding them in folds and pockets so that they weren’t visible at first glance. These devices allowed us to geolocate the pants, shirts and jackets thanks to a signal they emitted every time they got close to a phone. There was just one problem: the device would beep when this happened, revealing its presence. A technician from Greenpeace made our job easier by removing their capacity to beep and just like that, the AirTags became our silent allies*
Is this a known trick, can you just make all AirTags silent?
I'd much rather these resources be aimed at refining the articles that are objective and settled, rather a political back and forth. I love the /r/AskHistorians 20 year rule, which serves them really well.
There may be an actual discussion to be had as to whether such experiments could actually bring forward any interesting findings, so in the most unpoliticised way possible, could anyone shine a light as to whether results of such experiments could translate to humans?
I will be very interested in how this research continues.
That said, I think months may just be one of those terrible systems that are too ingrained in our society.
I still wish we could do 13*28 + 1.25 days, thirteen months with twenty eight days each, every month starting on a Monday, with a special 'festivity' day at the end of each year, sometimes 2 days. That would work a lot better I think, but because of proud Roman emperors, we are learning and working in one of the worst arrangements possible.
Wonder which is more common overall? Can AI spot more errors than it creates, or is it in equillibrium and a net zero?
Other than these quips, I am actually a fan of this movement. Anything that helps in the scientific process of peer review, as long as it does not actively annoy and delay the authors is a welcome addition to the process. Papers will be written, many of them incorrectly, with statistical or procedural errors. To have a checker that can find these quickly, ideally pre-publishing, is a great thing.

As long as your tools get the job done, use anything. (Except in work, because if you refuse to use collaboration tools everyone around you uses, I hate you.)
I still am sometimes reminded of the quote, "Every digital artist's career started by pirating Photoshop". Actual individual people can't afford to pay all these fees, but their future career may depend on having the experience with said tools.
My understanding is that the comprehension goes down rapidly as you increase your speed, and despite being a pretty speedy reader, I often find myself turning back pages to understand information I did not quite absorb. Maybe I could do with a little bit less speed after all.
Like anything, universities provide a service. That service, for me currently, is getting a degree afterwards. If that service ceases, my interest in the university ceases. If the cost of such a degree is larger than money I would expect to earn over a certain period, my interest in the university ceases.
I know that people in other countries (I'm from Europe) have absolutely different opinions, which the author does point out, I still feel like going into debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars for something that is not worth it may not be.. smart.
It is not hard to know if a machine is broken. There is an entire map dedicated to this, which shows state-wide broken rate as high as 40% for some states.
If you know these machines are broken and they are not being fixed, what use will be to know what machines will break in the future? This is not a technology problem, this is a business and people problem. Another case of companies using AI to garner positive marketing, instead of improving their service and customer's experience.
I agree that Discord is a terrible gated community that is horrible for searchability. But there has to be something about these platforms why the people prefer them.
Good companies will recognise that this should be a balance and provide their developers enough time to do both to a satisfactory degree. Sometimes the devs will have to push for this, and will meet resistance, but as with everything in engineering, nothing is black and white.
Write the best code you can, under the circumstances you can. It's a delicate balance.
I think it's understandable - nobody wants to overwork themselves at sweatshop Boeing, so they have to lower the requirements to find at least a few people willing to work there.
Should Boeing change they culture instead? Yes, a million times, by now it is a few years late. Will they, as long as there is no pressure on them and they are too big to fail? Remains to be seen, though I have my bets.
