Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

estradiol pharmacokinetics playground - estrannaise.js

Truly most of them can be emulated by _very_ short shell scripts that pattern match to ThE gUiDeLiNeS.

At least estrannai.se or your hedge witch is sensitive to the primary literature

my favorite thing about the barbarism that is the medical establishment's approach to trans healthcare is how they seem to think hormones are just at A Particular Level. no consideration for how hormones fluctuate or patient feeling, it is simply an arbitrary "that's too high; lower it" ad nauseam.

I mean, as we all know, Mike Johnson's a nobody maybe Mary Miller, introducer of such fine pieces of legislation as the _Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act_, really has the gravitas needed to get this one over the line

Mike Johnson introduced pretty much an identical bill in 2021, only got 38 cosponsors in the House.

Does that guarantee it's dead? No. But it's not new bullshit

Truly astounding as a trans person to watch your community be told we're not worthy of consideration by Democrats on Monday, be told to be silent and grateful all of Tuesday, and by Wednesday an entire state has criminalized trans citizens' existence.

Clever? Yes. But inasmuch as Max is bopping along _looking to be convinced_ it means he cannot be trusted as a source.

If the bottom line of an argument is known before the argument is written then any coupling of the argument to reality is accidental at best.

The prerogatives of the king to <checks notes> raise ship money?

Charles asserted it but was... notably rebuked by the Parliament for it. George III assuredly did not have that power, one can tell because the Stamp Act was an act of Parliament.

8B model, 17k serial tokens per second says you need ~140T tok/s of weights; that's not going on HBM.

But at 40-50Mb / mm^2 for SRAM you can just about fit it in a reticle if you run FP4?

Aaaand, yeah, it's an ASIC. So that's probably the ballgame. On the bright side SRAM scaling is dead.

I think 1 and 2 were "because they fucked up and didn't get Gerasimov at Rostov or incite a general rebellion" and 3... I don't know. It seems acutely life-threatening to be in Russia after

So this also counts UK / Germany / Japan cuts to ODA funding. That said, not all USAID went to ODA. And the same authors studied _just_ the USAID cuts and figure 14M (stat. 9-19M) excess deaths through 2030 just from the USAID cuts
