This is the most important missing feature to me as well.

I've written a lightweight replacement script to manage named central virtual envs using the same command syntax as virtualenvwrapper. Supports tab completion for zsh and bash: https://github.com/sitic/uv-virtualenvwrapper

I'm also only missing virtualenvwrapper-like support for central named venvs in uv.

I'm too used to type virtualenvwrapper's `workon` and `mkvirtualenv` commands, so I've written some lightweight replacement scripts of virtualenvwrapper when using uv. Supports tab completion and implements only the core functionality of virtualenvwrapper:

"Historically, the FDIC pays insurance within a few days after a bank closing, usually the next business day, by either 1) providing each depositor with a new account at another insured bank in an amount equal to the insured balance of their account at the failed bank, or 2) issuing a check to each depositor for the insured balance of their account at the failed bank."

The LLaMA paper contradicts this view: "[...] Although Hoffmann et al. (2022) recommends training a 10B model on 200B tokens, we find that the performance of a 7B model continues to improve even after 1T tokens." https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.13971.pdf

Isn't this basically the same as selling hacked and refilled printer ink cartridges? The Supreme Court ruled against Lexmark in that case (as far as the patents are concerned, not sure if Lexmark also tried the trademark route).

Ukraine has ratified the Ottawa Treaty linked above.

I'll note that it only bans the use of all non-remote-controlled anti-personnel landmines.

"The Dodd-Frank Act, which Congress passed after the 2008 financial crisis, expanded the SEC's ability to seek penalties in its administrative proceedings.

In the ruling Wednesday, the majority said that because seeking penalties is akin to debt collection, which is a private right, the defendants were entitled to a jury trial."
