At least two groups are now breeding as a single population. The genetic diversity might be more spread out over the population. As I understand the article there were two functionally separate groups as late as 20 years ago (already 100 years after the introduction of the Texas bison to the original Montana heard) and now they are recorded as being a single population.

What about journalctl?

Specifically the Super needs to have individualized colors per letter. Where S is red M cannot be and therefore is blue instead.

I too got thrown off by what they said. Not that the article was really worse off for it, but it took me a moment to parse the meaning.

Seems like it’s just because the author used the word delve which the use of has been linked to AI writing. Pretty flimsy evidence though, maybe the surgery really does like the word.

You could be right but if you do it in a large pasta pot so only put in enough water to cover the noodles. No more. Add more if needed as the noodles soak the water.

Use a short wide pan and just barely keep the noodles covered. You will get better pasta, easier cacio e Pepe and reduced energy costs related to pasta.

There is no substitute for cold hard facts. LLMs do not provide that unless it’s literally the easiest thing for them to do and even then not always.

In the case you were in I would go out of my way to feed the docs to the LLM and then use the LLM to interrogate the docs and then verify the understanding I got from the LLM with a personal reading of the docs that were relevant.

You might think it takes just as long of not longer to do it my way rather than just reading the docs myself. Sometimes it can. But as you get good at the workflow you find that the time sien finding the relevant docs goes down and you get an instant plausible interpretation of the docs added too. You can then very quickly produce application code right away and then docs of the code you write.

Taking a step back from the current incident which is obviously tragic, this is both a testament to how safe flying is and how hard it is to trust human judgment to tell one radar blip from another. At least with some earlier incidents there was less easy ways to check on the flight. The iron curtain was still up and ADS-B transponders weren’t invented. And yet still, here we are with planes getting shot out of the skies.
