Technically speaking, AFAIK, it is some years now that Ariane has started a project about a partially reusable rocket

EDIT: Reading the article I think it is the same project? I assume I'm misreading your comment

AFAIK it is still a tuning of llama 3[.1], the new Base models will come with the release of 4 and the "Training Data" section of both the model cards is basically a copy paste.

Honestly I didn't even consider the fact they would not be giving Base models anymore before reading this post and, even now, I don't think this is the case. I went to search the announcements posts to see if there was something that could make me think about it being a possibility, but nothing came out.

It is true that they released Base models with 3.2, but there they had added a new projection layer on top of that, so the starting point was actually different. And 3.1 did supersede 3...

So I went and checked the 3.3 hardware section and compare it with the 3 one, the 3.1 one and the 3.2 one.

|3 | 3.1 | 3.2 | 3.3 | |

| | 7.7M GPU hours | 39.3M GPU hours | 2.02M GPU hours | 39.3M GPU hours |

So yeah, I'm pretty sure the base of 3.3 is just 3.1 and they just renamed the model in the card and added the functional differences. The instruct and base versions of the models have the same numbers in the HW section, I'll link them at the end just because.

All these words to say: I've no real proof, but I will be quite surprised if they will not release the Base version of 4.

It's probably a problem with the UEFI, the windows info got overwritten, and you can probably fix this with efibootmgr

It happened to me too, but unfortunately it was some years ago and I'm not at home to find the related notes that I took. I remember there was a windows utility to rewrite the boot loader. But probably in your case the boot partition is still okay, just the UEFI entry got overwritten and you just have to add it back manually.

Check the troubleshooting section of the wiki page to have a tip on the windows booting location

The whole information is in this paragraph:

The central bank’s governing council gave unanimous support to October’s decision to cut rates by 0.25 percentage points to 3.25 per cent, arguing that “the disinflationary trend was getting stronger” and that it was important to avoid “harming the real economy by more than was necessary”.

The rest is basically padding and speculation, which can be summarized with:

"On december there could be a cut up to 50 points, or none, no one knows because we have no idea what is going to happen and we are going in blind. The growth was higher than expected (.4 instead of .2) but the inflation was too (2, instead of 1.7)."

What a time to be alive. I'm not worried at all about the future.

I was reading @superkret@feddit.org and @MaggiWuerze@feddit.org exchange and I found it an interesting - albeit moot - topic. So I went and spent the last hour to download some data and filter it: I will post some numbers with no commentary. I will add my opinions after them in a spoiler.

MHOThis comparison makes no sense for a multitude of reasons, starting from the difference in effective cohesion, motivation and raison d'être of the two organizations.

Even if there were multiple tries, especially by Russia, to push for more integration in the economic and military structure, you can see how it is still incredibly fractured: if you are interested you can check on the current state of the SWIFT alternatives to see how much each of the big players still pull to be the leader.

A more apt loose organization to compare BRICS to would probably be the G7, but even there it really is not the same, considering the member list and how integrated they are in other ways. Still, a better one.

Aside from that the PPP is often touted as a great way to compare completely different economies, and it has its uses to understand how people live in different countries. Its use in a comparison like this one has, IMHO, no space.

If someone comes to me with a one Billion random-currency investment, even if for them it only buys a loaf of bread but for me it means a new factory and 100 full-time employees, if they withdraw it it is a disaster.
Then again GDP is not even the parameter we should be looking into, considering the article: We should check the international trade between China and the European Union, and make consideration about that.

Last, but not least, I used the IMF numbers because they are easy to get in a nice format. They are not the best, but they are not the worst too. More info here, have fun.

Finally, a relatable story that warms my heart in these trying times!

Some Nexus missions are targeted to groups, which makes them tedious to do alone, just for the sheer amount of things to kill/retrieve etc

Aside from that - which is honestly a small optional part of the game - you can disable the multiplayer from the Network options and never think about it

6 months?! That's geriatric in machine's years!

Good guys GovCorp, keeping it real

I honestly don't really remember the main quest progression (I last did it a really long time ago), but I think there were a couple of steps that were time or exploration/research gated..

I can say that the story of Artemis has an ending, you should probably just try go on and research some Archive related things on the Base computer or jump around to new systems

As a general rule, IMHO, to really enjoy it you should treat NMS as a sandbox game that happens to have a story that sometimes pops up
