That is not really correct based on the available information. Look at the title of the article itself,

The Rock movie plot 'may have inspired MI6 source's Iraqi weapons claim'

The source of Mi6, claimed that Iraq had this. But Mi6 was clearly suspicious, because chemical ammunition are usually not stored in glass containers. This is given just below of the line you quoted,

MI6 accepted this possible flaw to the intelligence, the report adds: “The questions about the use of glass containers for chemical agents and the similarity of the description to those portrayed in The Rock had been recognised by SIS. There were some precedents for the use of glass containers but the points would be pursued when further material became available.”

Resource overhead when using multiple instances is negligible. But the benefit is if an app move to a nee major version of the db, then you can migrate easily. Also you don't have to worry about permissions, multi tenancy, roles, etc.

Only benefit of using a centralised db is easier back ups. But that is not enough for a centralised db IMO.

I think this is the confusion.

Tennis players and other pro athletes are required by anti-doping rules to specify where they will be available for a one-hour period each day to give samples for testing.

The female testing agent showed up at Vondrousova’s home outside the assigned hour that the player signed up for that day — in a surprise test. Athletes are required to submit for testing if they are located for a surprise test outside their assigned hour. If they are not found when a tester shows up outside assigned hours, there is no sanction.

She hadn't played since January, and she claims her mental health is not in a good state. Overall it looks like a panic or freakout from her side.

The ruling is justified IMO.

While this has led some to speculate that Lucas' plans for affordable housing are motivated by revenge, the film magnate's previous philanthropic efforts would indicate otherwise.

On the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, 70-year-old Lucas pledged the $4.05 billion proceeds of the sale to education. He has also set up an educational foundation, Edutopia, and has signed the Giving Pledge, a promise to will at least half his fortune to charity.

Amm....

I saw a comment comparing the use of AI for coding to the introduction of CNC machining. The argument was that when CNC was introduced many skills needed for doing things by hand kind of became automated, and new skills were needed to properly operate CNC machines.

In a way the analogy makes sense. But I think it falls short in the aspect of what is gained from this automation. CNC helped to automate a bulk of work, and it also managed to keep the precision and accuracy at a required level. LLMs can't guarantee that. I think the lack of deterministic output in the default way of operation, actualy act as a detrimental factor to maintaining the quality.

In the first link, look at the parameters in the link. It is for last 365 days. If you take all time, it is Red Hat.

To be explicit: I don't like Red Hat.

Looks like something was overlooked. It is mate in 1. ::: spoiler Spoiler Pawn to h5 is checkmate :::

Get thefuck out, and move on.

Disclaimer: I hate this guy and all the stupid things he did in the past.

I don't understand the issue here. Assuming what he is telling regarding the safety features are true, this is not more dangerous than a stunt scene in a movie. If they had hired someone who is not a professional stunt man, I would classify this as 'dangerous'. But I can't really see the issue of shooting a 'stunt scene' with professionals, just like any action movie will do.

That said, I think this is just manufactured outrage, which will create more views for that video. Probably thile response to the video was underwhelming, and they wanted to drive up the views to ensure revenue.

That is Victoria Fischer. This part of the video is fun,

The lab has built its own software platform for operating BCI devices known as Brain-computer interface for Rapidly Adaptive Neural Decoding (BRAND, which Brandman told us was coincidentally named), which UCD postdoctoral fellow Nick Card built machine learning algorithms for.

Aah.. So not LLMs. Makes sense.

Also to the reporter who decided to focus on 'full time job' in the title. You focused on 5 hours of work instead of the fact that the patient can now interact with his daughter, who never heard him speak, and also he is able to have conversations with his friends and family. Please be more human.

Holy shit!! You did it. I would never expect a banking password to max special characters. I have been scratching my head with Bitwarden and this shitty app for an hour.

Their desktop site is even more shitty. It won't allow right click or paste actions. There goes compatibility with password managers.

I think this meme is about the old story of calling 911 and pretending to order a pizza. This was a viral story almost a decade back and stayed in social media platforms as a real thing. However this widespread social media publicity actually helped a victim. Details are in the previous link. This worked only because the operator was aware about the internet lore and was able to connect it.

In summary don't do it. Operators will disregard your call.

I was completely confused why would a dealer release a car before they got financials approved. Then I read about the yo-yo scam. In my country under no circumstances you will get the car, without prior financial approval. America is weird.

::: spoiler Spoiler What is the rationale for all comparisons returning false for IEEE754 NaN values? :::

Yeah.But many of them are extremely annoying. Specifically screwing up rebase. It is recoverable, but very annoying.

That said I have seen juniors make two other common mistakes.

1. Pushing your commit without fetching
2. Continuing on a branch even after it was merged.

I'm fed up with these two. Yesterday I had to cherry-pick to solve a combination of these two.

As far as I knows, Linus dropped that asshole founder mode, and moved on. There was a write up by him, how the linux conference and his holiday plans got overlapped, which forced him to rethink a lot about himself. Great person.

It's not traditional. Also it's not similar to the pic. It was invented in the 1970s by a French Chef. The technique involves "vacuum sealed" ingredients, ensuring there is no air between the ingredient and water. Water is kept at a constant temperature, much lower than usual cooking temperature, and the ingredients are cooked for a very long time.

End result is an evenly cooked ingredient with full moisture content. But there won't be any browning (Maillard reaction), which is key in many recipes.

For those who are unaware, she leaked footages of war crimes committed by a set of IDF soldiers. Why? She was the top lawyer of the military, tasked with enforcement of rule of law inside IDF. When she started the probe, the far right harrassed her, and even attacked her. In an attempt to control the abuse she leaked the footage. But that didn't stop the abuse. Later she had to admit she is the person behind leaking the footage, had to step down, and face the enquiry.

In no way I'm going to argue she was a guardian angel or someone standing up for human rights, because she did the investigation purely to avoid international scrutiny. The logic is if the internal scrutiny is strong then international enformant agencies (like ICC, which I found hilarious), will not interfere with the matters inside the Isreal. In other words create a bunch of scapegoats, so that the war crimes can be continued.
