I have these kind of scripts live as functions in my .bashrc, kind of a noob, is there a reason beyond convension to store them individually in bin?

It's worse, you're paying them so your competitor isn't standing in front of your store convincing them not to be your costumer.

You can either buy the top spot on queries that are looking for you or google will sell it to your competitor.

Perfect blood doping.

Kind of sad that that's the first thing that comes to mind...

That's pretty much what happens when you get a stemcell transplant. Luckily there is steady improvement in the survival rate. This is a very old therapy by now of course. But let's hope the various form of immuno therapy take the same trajectory, getting a little better every year.

Who exactly were you going to buy equipment from? AMD/Nvidia/Intel are the only players in town.

Taking one gram every 5-6 hours for a maximum of 4 gram/day IS entirely reasonable.

I don't know how you jumped from "it's dangerous to take in to high amounts, even 4 times the recommended dose is dangerous" to "the recommened dose is dangerous".

When taken correctly it is very safe and had fewer side effects then NSAIDs like ibuprofen.

Melatonin is just for jetlag/otherwise shifted sleeping schedule, are people using it as an anti aging drug?

I don't vote for this party but you sre totally straw manning them with respect to data centres. The whole reason those became controversial is because American big tech companies would come in and negotiate deals with municipalities to consume all the energy of newly built green energy projects so they could claim they would make their green goals withouth making any investments themselves. Also you can question if the Netherlands is the right place being so densly populated resulting in issues with both the electricity grid and general land shortage.

The extraction problem has been solved for a long time to make recombinant insuline. Before that it had to be extracted from an animals pancreas. These days peptides are often improved using non-natural amino acids to make them more stable and thus longer acting. Semaglutide is a good example. These are synthesized using solid-phase synthesis.

I guess cooling is more important than keeping away oxidizers in this case and it's hard to beat water in that regard.

I would guess that the FFT scales better as you increase the number of tokens in the context window. Interesting Google's models outperform their competitors on context size.

Shorting is often a bad strategy due to the hight cost if you plan to hold for the long term. And with these companies with irrational evaluations you gave no idea when the stock price will correct. Better to exlude stocks that you can't price accurately from your portefolio.

Depends on your perspective. Many people would consider someone like Fauci non-partisan and more of a competent career expert, but Trumps people think he is very political and purge people like that. At the FBI they purge people who are probably quite competent and not particularly partisan but happened to work on Trumps case, which is mostly about sending a message I think not do much about finding the right employees to work at the FBI. This is very un American in my view.

The nation doesn’t just need a shipbuilding revolution—it needs a broader industrial revitalization. Strengthening semiconductor manufacturing, modernizing military and civilian aviation, reinvigorating automotive innovation, and more are all critical. Tackling this alone would be overwhelming, but collaboration with trusted neighbors and reliable allies could make these ambitions achievable. Luckily we have a real bridge builder in cha...

For me ai has been pretty useful. Difference is I'm not a software engineer, I just write scripts to help me do my job. If I wrote bigger applications I doubt llms could help me.
