Hi Troy, just wanted to let you know that I just sent you an email! :)
Also, just to be sure, I sent it to on-board.ai domain as well, as that seemed like the correct website (onboard.ai just showed "for sale" page). Might help some others too.
Google login also seems to be having issues, multiple people reported to me that the login isn’t working and they’ve been logged out of their Google accounts.
Yes, I tried logging in today in two distinct Google accounts on separate Chrome profiles and it would sign me out in about ~ 5 seconds after logging in. And the login process was very sluggish.

Most Americans don't realize how bad they have it. They've grown accustomed to being punched and slapped around and so won't rebel. They'll keep giving all of what little and shrinking of what they have to legitimized criminals.
We do have Internet, but we've gotten used to being told that the Internet lies to us. We've been repeatedly told that people wait months for treatment in the UK, and that Canadians are streaming over the border to get health care in America.
We read horror stories like this one, but say "Whew, glad that won't happen to me." We imagine that because of capitalism, if our insurance company screws us over, we'll change to the next one -- freedom we wouldn't have if we had a national health care.
It never seems to occur to us that all of the private insurers have a capitalism-driven goal of maximizing profits, and national insurers don't.
> Stable Diffusion? Well, that’s free-ish. Problem is, you’ll probably want to run it locally, which requires a really, really beefy graphics card. I was struggling to run it on a Vega56 - a GPU that goes for ~$150 used now - so I went out and got a RTX3090 for about $1,000. If you’re already a gamer with a GPU with 8Gb+ of VRAM you’re probably good, but for most people this is a bit absurd.
I agree with the problem, on platforms like AWS you'll even need to send a manual request so they would let you use instances which can run SD. On the other hand there's already something like replicate.com, which allows you to run the SD like an API. I hope there will be more services like this.
I'm a bit surprised they don't mention Snap anywhere on the site except for a link in footer (something like "by Snap"). Generally I would expect much better experience from a single page website promoting one product.
@Grollicus covered most of the major points (which means the documentation must be part good). For this library is was that we didn't want to have to add additional columns and change table structure if a user wanted needed to add more languages on in future. Also because we provide our software as separate managed instances, this would have also meant that every system would have had a different database schema - which would have been a nightmare for maintainance.
Other libraries had other similar contraints - such as languages stored in external tables, or needing special querysets to access languages.
Garnett was designed to be an (almost) seemless drop-in that fit into the Django ORM without altering code or data too much.
They seem to store all translated strings in a single jsonfield instead of using a separate column for each language.
That means there's a bit more overhead while loading (and you can't exclude unneeded language fields), but it allows dynamically changing languages during runtime without needing a migration.
With Django's ORM and PostgreSQL, it is possible to map specific keys of a JSONField to an annotation. But I don't know if the overhead of doing this would undo the gains from not sending data for every language in the query result.
Yes, Parker breaks the 40+ year old record set by Helios. OP is using stale data.
The fastest crewed spaceship was Apollo 10 at 39,705km/h before reentry. After orbiting the moon they had lots of fuel left over so they just floored the engine on the way home. Not just falling back towards the planet but actively flying towards the ground for longer than any other Apollo mission.
This record can be broken with current technology, we just have to go back to the moon.
I very well may be wrong about this, but I believe thats not exactly true. Parker required the fasted launch as of its time because it had to shed the momentum of the earth that it started with to be able to fall into that gravity well.
quoting from reddit:
> You may be thinking of the Sun as a big gravity well and how you can just drop things in a well. But orbits don't work anything like that at all. Sure if you are stationary relative to the Sun then you'll fall right into it. But anything that leaves Earth is very far from stationary. You're going at 30 km/s 90 degrees off your target. Possibly the first idea many people think of if they want to hit the Sun is to cancel that 30 km/s of speed, and sure it'll work. But you need 30 km/s of delta-v. On the other hand, to escape the solar system from Earth you only need a velocity of 42 km/s relative to the Sun, of which you already have 30 km/s. So you only need to increase your speed by about 12 km/s. (And for both cases add one or two km/s to counter Earth's gravity.)
