Wilkins will receive a whopping $84.75M guaranteed to help the Raiders’ defensive line. To illustrate where the DT market has g…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: The DR5 analysis of the medium-resolution GIRAFFE and high-resolution UVES spectra of FGK-type stars
The Gaia-ESO Survey is an European Southern Observatory (ESO) public spectroscopic survey that targeted $10^5$ stars in the Milky Way covering the major populations of the disk, bulge and halo. The observations were made using FLAMES on the VLT obtaining both UVES high ($R\sim47,000$) and GIRAFFE medium ($R\sim20,000$) resolution spectra. The analysis of the Gaia-ESO spectra was the work of multiple analysis teams (nodes) within five working groups (WG). The homogenisation of the stellar para…

That feeling when I'm trying to consult the internet about usage of a specific military term in my native language and most of the sources I encounter are video game tutorials.

@… don't worry about this one. The GenAI hype will burst way too fast to allow for the signing of contracts.
Yet, crypto seems to hold. Probably because plenty of cryptobros actually got rich enough to sustain the hype. No such democratisation with GenAI
