This comes up on every one of these articles. The astronauts are in no way stranded.
There’s a common sense operating rule on the station: every person on board ISS must have a dedicated seat in a ride home that is ready to undock and leave within 30 minutes notice.
Right now, the Starliner capsule is certified and ready for that role for the two test pilots. The crew dragon and soyuz are docked to handle the rest of the station crew.
Earlier today there was an emergency shelter event on the station when some debris got unusually close. In this type of event all crew evacuate to the escape spacecraft and close hatches. So if something does hit the station, it’s less likely someone gets hurt during a depressurization.
Starliner served as an emergency shelter for this exercise, because it is certified for emergency reentry, and the five identified helium leaks are not close to preventing it from returning safely.
To get from ISS to a landing site requires no more than 5 hours of RCS operation. There is plenty of margin in the helium system to cover 5 hours.
The deal with LLMs is that it’s very difficult to say which piece of training material went into which output. Everything gets chopped up and mixed, and it’s computationally difficult to run backwards.
My understanding of the image generators is that they operate one pixel at a time too, looking only at neighboring pixels. So in that sense, it’s not correct to say they understand the context of anything.
Like, there’s lots of information about Bilbo Baggins in Lotr, that doesn’t mean it was written in the third age of Middle Earth homie
The conceit of the LOTR appendices is that Lord of the Rings, as published in English, is really just the Red Book that Bilbo writes at the end. Dr. Tolkien merely found the manuscript somewhere and has graciously translated it from Third Age common language into English for the benefit of us modern people.
If you add the fat first, the mushrooms are going to release so much liquid that you just have to boil that off anyway.
These are also used by competitive weightlifters.
Flight attendants are covered by the Railway Labor Act. They can’t actually strike. The President can forcibly prevent them from striking. There are serious penalties to be had for any kind of illegal strike.
So what’s been going on instead is an “unorganized” definitely-not-a-job-action where some individual flight attendants do a bad job on service while still fulfilling all of their safety duties.
Especially talk to FSF if this “well known debugging tool” is a part of the GNU project, as FSF has the power and standing to enforce the copyrights on GNU software.
There’s a road bridge right next to the rail line.
Next thing you know, Kansas is sending all-caps letters Remittance and Demand to the NHTSA demanding their share of the Interstate Highway System, as it was allocated to their secret treasury account under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted by the Continental Congress in 1779.
(I really need to stop reading that stuff)
Israel is a more-or-less democracy in a region where that is quite scarce. For a long time, most of the Arab league was aligned with the Soviet Union, and Israel was the only and primary counterbalance.
That kind of inertia takes a long time to unwind, even though the Soviet Union no longer exists, and several of those Arab League members have made permanent peace with Israel.
In conclusion, I don’t think Israel “has anything” on the United States. I think the plight of a few million stateless Palestinians is not enough to override the various realpolitik concerns that the United States has in the region.
And really people are not making phone calls nearly as much as they used to. The pollsters need to find a reasonably unbiased method to sample people on other communication methods.
This is wild speculation, but I have two guesses:
Yeah. Spider man was a big deal at that time
Ctrl+alt+delete was a separate interrupt line direct from the keyboard. That is, when you pressed the three keys, the interrupt signal was asserted, causing the CPU to jump to the interrupt service routine, which should be in the source code package.
I think that Biden has done a better job of working the hill to get the stuff he wants than Obama ever did
To be clear, nearly every substantial bill in the House only arrives on the floor by passing a custom single-bill rule that was referred out of the rules committee.
So these normally-party-line rule changes are a routine occurrence in the House. The weird part is that this one went through on a bipartisan vote.
Want.
Devaluing currency?
Isn’t that the thing the US used to accuse a bunch of other countries of doing?
Sounds like Trump, then.
Except the “emergency capsule” is all of them, including Starliner. Because Starliner is perfectly capable of returning to earth safely.
Because every thruster that has shut down has hot fired okay, and the known helium leaks still leave enough margin to cover several multiples of the 5 hours or so of RCS operation that you need to get to landing.
