The Kh-101 missiles changed course from Poltava to Cherkasy. I wonder if they might continue north to Kyiv.

Is PPO all you need? No.
Is PPO enough for much more interesting tasks than we expected? Abundantly yes.

Oh yeah, and there’s only one company that offers PPO plans on the exchange. The rest are HMO plans and are even worse.

Looking forward to the administration sending me $18,000 a year (tax free!) so I can pay out of pocket for my family PPO plan.

@maddow.bsky.social United Healthcare dropped all PPO options under Medicare,in Marin CountyCA for 2025.CA filed a lawsuit against the UHV,prior.The DOJ had a case, the CEO dumped his stock, collected 15 million.Many who are insured by them,don’t even know whether they have a PPO or an HMO plan???🤷♀️

Was excited to go to the Mayo Clinic to hopefully get to the bottom of all these food allergies, and then got a lovely call letting me know they don’t take my (stupidly expensive, PPO) insurance and that will be a $5000 down payment PER SPECIALTY.
I think this is a bad system actually.

/11 Wife finished the hike and summited Whitney (the altitude was very hard on her) and returned safely. I was eventually let out of the looney bin. Wait, that’s an HMO. I have a very expensive PPO, I was in a residential multi-modal treatment facility.

THIS MOTHER FUCKER REALLY TRIED TALKING OVER ME WHEN I WAS EXPLAINING WHAT A PPO PLAN WAS WITH HIS VERSION OF WHAT A PPO PLAN WAS IM GONNA FUCKING CRAAAAAASH OUTTTTTTT !!!!!!!
Day two of training class if this man argues with me again ima rage out.
I do not take well to trainees pushing me on things they don’t know anything about :3
Having a medical background is different than having an insurance background shut the FAWK up 💅
Oh yeah and of COURSE it was a man 👹

worth reading not least because ppo is the opposite of an air power skeptic
Hello All, latest in @TheAtlantic . Once again, the US has shown that it fails to understand air power. Trump's intervention in the Israel-Iran air war was showy and seems to have accomplished little.

Debugging why PPO SB3 (PyTorch) was working where PPO SBX (Jax) was failing.
Just one line of code different... 🙈 (the initialization of the actor network output)

For those trying to understand DeepSeeks Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO): GRPO is just PPO without a value function using monte carlo estimates.
So, study why PPO exists (lots of docs / writing on that) and understand that value functions are tricky with LLMs.
Left ppo, right grpo

going to court this AM to try to get a PPO against this man, send good vibes
A few months back, a man confronted me, accusing me of taking pictures of his kids, which you know I’m a photographer, but people aren’t my subject, especially children
He harassed me very aggressively making trans phobic remarks and making threatening gestures, I made a police report. months pass
