These guys getting maybe 5 months of training seems like a joke by comparison. but judging by the mission description, it seems more like space tourism than a mission. am I reading that right? hope they don't run into any issues while they're up there, though I'm guessing everything will be remotely controllable.

Comment on AI has cracked a key mathematical puzzle for understanding our world in ~science

I remember a similar buzzworthy article about ML solving the 3-body problem much faster than traditional methods, but to like 5 orders of magnitude lower accuracy, making the end result impractical for real-world applications. Maybe that's not the case here, since they seem excited about real-world applications.
edit: looked for a comparison in the paper, all i found is:
We do not compare against traditional solvers (FEM/FDM) orneural-FEM type methods since our goal is to produce an efficient operator approximation that can be usedfor downstream applications.
whatever that means

The major downside of having your phone stolen is worsened if you also lose the yubikey, no?
And the upside is... moving away from sms 2fa? don't most sites let you move to software 2fa, like the sites you listed?
The only advantage I see of hardware 2fa is that it automatically detects phishing attempts, so eliminates the risk of manually inputting your software 2fa into a fake site. To me that's a very low risk, since I don't see myself ever being subjected to such targetted attacks.
See this outweighed by the inconvenience of having to keep a hardware key on me, on my phone, as well as at my desktop, using my laptop or tablet on the couch or god forbid having to fumble for it late at night in bed. Or how the hell would it work on my work device, which doesn't allow non-authorised USB devices to connect?
You can think of it simply as a decentralized authentication service, if that helps. It has nothing to do with speculating on currency.
