I’m not an Astronomer, but it’s a passion of mine. This article is very misleading.

This is a well understood phenomenon, and it’s very likely our solar system is a bit of an oddball.

The problem is these things are so difficult to see.

Our major methods of detecting exoplanets are looking for the planet to occlude the star (thus lowering the brightness of the star) or watching the star’s movement for gravitational wobbles from being pulled on by planets.

This introduces a WELL UNDERSTOOD bias into our data. Large planets, and large planets closer to the star are just easier to detect. We have had to come up with entirely new classifications of planets for Jupiter sized planets orbiting extremely close to the Roche limit of their star, just barely far enough away to avoid being shredded or smashing into the star, a so called “hot Jupiter”.

In fact, there are existing theories that there was such a gas giant in our solar system that got ejected by Jupiter as Jupiter migrated through the solar system in it’s infancy, which may have also lead to the collision of Theia with Earth which created the moon and our modern planet.

Twice the sponsors. Brilliant.

That depends. Is OP royalty?

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Matrix is the communication protocol between clients and servers. It can’t dictate how a client displays those communications. It would be like TCP demanding that webpages be laid out a certain way.

I’ve often heard repeated that a human can live on water, potatoes, and salted butter basically indefinitely.

Not sure how true, but seems plausible.

There’s many models that use open source training sets and weights. You can choose them.

Explain to me which forest burns down when I run an AI on my local computer that uses the same power (or less) as running a video game?

AI / LLMs aren’t evil or unethical or immoral - commercializing them into enormous behemoths that eat resources 24x7 is.

Agreed, a locally running LLM is an amazing choice.

Yeah agreed.

Probably just had contacts and offered/sold leverage.

Everyone thinks ‘working for’ means that it’s some sort of commitment and only highly vetted people work in the international intelligence community. And this is true for the handlers, but most of the information comes from freelance contacts adhoc.

I’m certain he sold to other intelligence groups too.

I’ve had both. I like Bosch a little better for features and layout, but I’ve regretted neither.

Both just work. Both are fairly cheap and easy to fix either by yourself or with a service.

I told my buddy that I suggested Bosch or Meile because I literally don’t have to think about them.

StreetComplete is a great way to help fill in the blanks!

Because if it isn’t commercial, it’s much harder to control and monitor.

It is poorly phrased.

a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang

ICE is short for “Immigration and Customs Enforcement”.

The next part is even phrased worse.

Anti-Muslim hate-rally would be a better phrasing, but “hate rally” is a weird phrase already. A good editor would have dropped “hate” from the phrase entirely.

So, rephrased: “a pro-ICE and Anti-Muslim rally”

It’s saying the rally was in favor of ICE and opposed to immigration and Muslims.

Don’t besmirch the good name of pussies like that.

I much prefer QT. The GTK ethos since Gnome 3 is basically: “We’re making this for our own needs, we don’t care about what you want”

And while I sympathize and understand the frustrations that downstream brings, I don’t think any project not part of Gnome/GIMP should be building on it.

QT is built from the ground up to be used by anyone, regardless of needs or use case. It’s a better fit for building complex software like desktop environments.

In Europe you could also check out Starlabs, which are more local and will have extensive replacement parts available.

Decades of destroying our education system and rigging our first past the post system in their favor. Our politics are fucked because our political systems are fucked and have disenfranchised our voters.
