Not really. Early rockets included multiple private contractors like Douglas, Boeing and NAA, but those were basically government projects top to bottom.
Single vendor commercial rockets are a recent (2000s) invention.
Think of how wasteful and inefficient multi-vendor rockets are as a concept. What complex machine would you engineer in such a way? Would you have the government, rather than buy cars from Ford, GM, Tesla, etc, instead contract out the production to one company for the motor, one for the frame, and one for the interior and instrumentation?
It was the only way to do it at the time, no company would have had the capacity for such a project, including reserves for damages. And even in private businesses it is common to outsource specific elements to external suppliers. The Saturn program was massive.
Meta’s Llama models (and likely many others') have similar restrictions.
Since they don’t fully comply with EU AI regulations, Meta preemptively disallows their use in those regions to avoid legal complications:
“With respect to any multimodal models included in Llama 3.2, the rights granted under Section 1(a) of the Llama 3.2 Community License Agreement are not being granted to you if you are an individual domiciled in, or a company with a principal place of business in, the European Union. This restriction does not apply to end users of a product or service that incorporates any such multimodal models”
Or if you're upstate and going to one of the boroughs, you'll generally refer to it by name. "I'm going to Brooklyn / Queens / the Bronx", not "I'm going to the city" or "I'm going to New York City".
On another hand, ARM Macs can run some iOS/iPad apps, and plenty of them work great and with zero issues. Not all, ofc, but many do. I think it’s because of zero expectations of them having to fill the entirety of your screen, so you just have it running in a window on your desktop, and it is quite good.
I would assume the situation with Vision Pro would be closer to Macs running iPhone/iPad apps, as opposed to iPads running iPhone apps. Mostly because of a similar “desktop with windows” feel I get from visionOS videos I’ve seen, as opposed to the “smartphone experience” feel i get on both iPadOS and iOS. Until I get my own hands on a VisionPro unit next week, this is just pure speculation though.
kubeadm alone is maybe 40% of what a production Kubernetes platform is. Just running init and deploying your app is good for a toy project or really small scale cluster.
Every time you hear yourself saying Kubernetes, "only", and "just" on the same sentence, please pause for a moment.
Wireless Emergency Alerts are for emergencies. If you look at any government's twitter feed, the posts are either very much not emergencies, or in this post's context, too specific and numerous to use the system with. The government needs something besides a passive website and a highly active emergency alert system.
So use the alerts to instruct users to view a website or similar platform where more detail can be posted?
Unless it really is an emergency, why's there a need to push so many messages to a social media feed anyway? What are they mostly about and who reads them?
During Covid there was certainly at least something interesting to post fairly regularly, though nothing that wasn't already plastered all over newspaper headlines or regular TV/radio news bulletins. Even then I can't say I ever felt an additional platform was needed, and that really was an exceptional period in history.
> in the US you need to be able to drive to function as a member of society so if someone has a DUI pulling their license is almost as bad as giving that person house arrest for the rest of their life.
Another way of looking at this is, if driving is so important to participating in American society, then it is a privilege you should show the greatest respect for, and make sure you are driving safely and legally.
Driving recklessly and endangering not only your license to drive, but the lives of others, carries a high cost that you will have to pay when it goes wrong. That’s an individual choice. Of all the countries I’ve driven, the US drivers seem to have a particularly low regard for law and safety.
That’s one other potential viewpoint and maybe it should be adopted more, but that’s not how it works in practice. If penalties for driving drunk and/or recklessly were higher, people would probably feel that way more.
> But for movies and TV? Where do I find the good stuff?
There’s a trove of incredible foreign movies and TV shows out there. Scandinavian and Asian (Korean in particular) content has a really good hit to miss ratio for me.
For examples, check out international film festival nominations and winners.
Just like how the US requires the same for EU travelers visiting the US? Seems reasonable to require the same going the other way. IIRC, it was the US that first introduced these requirements.
