Reading is weird during dreams, lucid or otherwise. I recently had a very odd dream in which I thought I was awake, but lying in bed with my eyes closed. I was amazed that I could still see! I picked up a piece of clear plastic package and opened my eyes, and it was totally blank. Then, I closed my eyes, still able to see, and suddenly the packaging was covered with writing in all kinds of fonts, points, and colors. Total... gibberish. I thought some of it was sort of funny, so I reached out for my dictaphone (nowhere close in reality, but right there in a dream) and was going to record some of these whacky lines. The problem was that I could hear my radio, and I knew I’d be recording that too, so I reached out to turn it off. Nothing, still on. I kept doing that until I woke up, realized my radio was on as an alarm, there was no dictaphone, no plastic, nothing.

Very odd experience, but it fits with my memories of trying to read in dreams. The words are either nonsense, mad-libs, or they make sense, but change the moment your attention shifts.
22 sounds extremely high for that breed.

Though, for my question, the breed is less important than the size. Was it on the larger size?

Why would anyone willingly work at a job like this. Why is this ever accepted to be a good thing. I've done this as well, I've worked 9-9 at a startup and have come to the conclusion that I was extremely wrong to ever accept this kind of thing.

I am a strong believer in work life balance. But it’s not about crazy hours that causes you to spend more waking hours with your coworkers than your spouse during the week.

My wife gets up at 5 and doesn’t get off work until around 6:30 everyday during the school year. She has a split shift. So she does have time to run errands, go to the gym etc.

I get off work around 6. She goes to bed around 9. We may have two to three good hours on weekdays. I come home, we spend a little time together, she goes to sleep and two or three days out of the week, I work out in our home gym.

We have to make up for that time on the weekend. Things were worse when she was doing support and was working nights and weekends.

The summers and extended Christmas breaks are awesome though....
I would say tensorflow is the anthesis of "convention over configuration" rails is lauded for! w/ TF relative to most frameworks, you have to configure all the boilerplate!

If you're looking for a higher-level approach a lot of the community likes sci-kit which has lots of nice defaults for popular models.
I love the graphics in the "Applications" category. Really brings back memories. This style of art went away, sadly, like many other good things in computing, it died with Commodore.
Just some random brainstorming inspired by this post: If you imagined a layer above reality in the chain of dream->reality->x, what qualities would describe it? People often differentiate dreams and reality by the fact that reality follows rigid rules instead of having subjectively-bent rules. Would the rules of x be even rigid-er? Maybe you follow the pattern by subtracting the rest of the subjectiveness left in reality. Reality still has subjective qualities: we're all bound to an arbitrary viewpoint, and things like the Anthropic Principle affect the circumstances that we experience. I guess that basically means some "objective" total view of reality would be the higher layer, but that doesn't really leave any room for actions or cognition as we know it, so it's just a fun thought.
Others in the dream? Something about reality being a shared dream. Which sounds a lot like a simulation to me.

Facebook isn't the state. In any event, I try not to think of problems that way. Like most things, state censorship is neither universally good nor bad. It depends on the state, and the censorship. The universe doesn't care that it's easier for humans to have hard and fast rules about things.

I mostly agree with you, but I would like to make something clear.

Am I missing something?

OpenBSD libtls is a really simplified TLS API with sane defaults and convenient handling of extensions like SNI and ALPN. Nice and somewhat long overview can be found in https://github.com/bob-beck/libtls/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md . There is also a nice presentation https://www.openbsd.org/papers/linuxconfau2017-libtls/

It's in C but this also means there it is easy to make bindings in other languages like Rust: https://docs.rs/libtls/0.0.1/libtls/

For what it's worth, this video appears to be bull.

For most questions, it will just read you the first line (or first paragraph) of the corresponding Wikipedia page. There have been cases that Alexa has said some embarrassing things, mostly because people edit controversial Wikipedia pages is embarrassing way, but I believe they are trying to be more robust to that.

To that point, asking these same questions to my alexa:
- RE gender: same response, which is fair enough (and in line with what you'll find in most places online)
- RE Muhammed: "the founder of Islam"
- RE Jesus: "also known as (...) was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader.[12] He is the central figure of Christianity. Christians believe him to be (etc.)

The way how Alexa rambles (less pause during words, at full stops) the long text about Muhammed also makes me suspect this video is doctored.

But even if it isn't doctored, they definitely skipped the research step and went straight to bigotry and hyperbole...
>But assuming all Indians/Chinese/Egyptians/Greeks/whatever were just credulous bumpkins is a completely unwarranted slight.

Except he didn't do that. He assumed that one Indian wasn't informed of the true worth of what he was selling.
the numbers are obviously hyperbole but the distribution is certainly skewed towards men having the share of "dangerous" jobs.. whether or not there are enough dangerous jobs to effect species-wide life expectancy questions is a different question
>No, it says the devil and the beast and the false prophet will be “tormented forever and ever” in the lake of fire. Explicitly, the punishment is eternal, not just the fire itself.

Yes, death "forever", never to come back from it. It doesn't say "screaming forever in pain". The contrast to this is death where people come back from it at some point. (see Jesus resurrection, Laserus, the dry bones valley, Paul's defence in the courts, etc...)

There is no "torture forever" in the bible for people, their punishment is "death forever".

-"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

The subject is "the devil", who is cast into the lake of fire. The location is described as "where the beast and the false prophet [are]". But the word "are" isn't in the verse, it's "implied". And then finally "shall be tormented." Who is tormented? The devil.

The beast and false prophet are not the subject, and it doesn't say they are "alive in the lake" it says where they were already thrown. It doesn't say they are being tormented, it says the devil is.

I know you can read that sentence in a different way, but if you do, you must conclude there's no such thing as a resurrection, and believe there is an immortal soul and various other things that contradict.

Here's a comparison of many translations, they don't all agree. And this is the one single verse in the entire bible that people can use to say there is an ever burning hell, and it's vague and not consistently translated.

https://www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/rev/20/10/p0/t_bibles_1...

King David "slept" (didn't go to heaven or a burning hell) (1 Kings 2:10) and this confirmed in Act 2:29-

-"...the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day."

Then later of King David, called "a man after God's own heart" did not go to heaven, Act 2:34-

-"For it was not David who ascended into heaven..."

There is no immortal soul, anyone thrown in the lake of fire (besides the devil I guess) dies, eternally, never to be resurrected.

Matt 10:28
"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Eternal death of the body and soul is what hell/gehenna is, not torment forever, simple death. Just like no one has gone to live in heaven (accept Jesus of course), no one has gone to live in hell. When people die, they turn back into the dirt, and are asleep just like King David, waiting for the resurrection. (at least that is what is written)
I've tinkered with face recognition in the past days, and am now waiting for a response to my GCE quota request for a V100 GPU. $8/h rate for a preemptible instance seems really cheap, yet I am not sure if I will ever be able to process my dataset.

Does anyone have a clue on how much it will cost to detect faces and extract 128d encodings from ~100M of 200x200 photos?
Begin with plain ASCII text. It's very easy to get distracted by the formatting and looks. Content is what's important. So begin with a basic editor like notepad/vi/emacs. Perhaps at best markdown. Get it done, then edited, then you can typeset with something like Latex/Word.
That was very different. Armies then lived off the land, bought/stole what they needed very locally. Supply lines existed but the number of goods needed wasn't the same as today. Logistics is only part of maneuver warfare. Intelligence is more important.

Sieges were not that common. A siege needs a stronghold. There were periods where strongholds were common in some areas, but they are over-represented in the history. We have records of sieges because sieges, by definition, occurred at important locations.
Thanks for the feedback. It is on my to build list. Bumped it up : )
What if the US was invaded and the original Constitution stolen, and put on display? I think it would eat at any patriotic American's heart a little.
I wish I could do this justice in one post.

The whole thing is like a snake swallowing its own tail. If what "they" are saying is correct, then this is "my" dream. The Buddha is a character I dreamed up to remind me how to wake up.

Why isn't this solipsism? First, because it's not my personal dream (the person being a character himself). Second, for a similar reason as MWI is not solipsism. This branch really is my own branch (in a particular sense). What I experience as other people are really "my versions" of them, but this does not mean there aren't other perspectives analogous to mine.

This idealist perspective can be made internally consistent. At that point, deciding between it and materialism may seem like a matter of preference. The difference is that the idealist perspective can be confirmed, in the same way that a nighttime dream can be: you discover, very precisely, how you constructed the whole thing, including all the tricks you used to blind yourself to the ruse.
His stats are clearly wrong, but he's on the right track -- all he's talking about is occupational fatality, which was mentioned in another comment and does account for some of the difference in life expectancy.
Where did you get the idea that the museum cut it? All information I could find points to the first scenes being lost at a far earlier date.
> while women have lower mortality rates throughout their life, they also often have higher rates of physical illness, more disability days, more doctor visits, and hospital stays than men do

I wonder how much is this due to the fact that women are more ill or the fact that men don't go to the doctor even if they have to.
Actually, there is? It explicitly draws from and links back to a seperate post on child mortality also https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality
I didn't have the 99/4A, but my neighbor did, and had the speech synthesizer. I remember Parsec quite well.

I had a C-64, and had both the Covox Voice Master (...ter ...ter ...ter), and Commodore's Magic Voice.

Interesting that the Commodore box had to go into the cartridge port and the monitor port just for voice output, but the Covox could do both in and out from the joystick port.

The Archimedes was so far ahead of its time that no-one really knew what to do with it. They ended up in schools, especially in commonwealth countries, mainly because Acorn's previous big success, the BBC Micro, had been specifically targeted at schools.

That is wrong. Women generally have a higher body fat percentage than men.
> This article misses the elephant in the room (as if how we store fat has any bearing on it, what a joke); men work dangerous jobs.

I doubt it’s relevant. In 2011, there were ~5k fatal work injuries, i.e. 0.2% of the 2,5M deaths in the US that year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_fatality#/media/F...

https://www.infoplease.com/us/mortality/deaths-united-states...

Update: I’m not saying your job has no effect on your lifespan. It does, but mostly because of the (lack of) money you get from it rather than its dangerosity. Job-related deaths are probably too low to be the cause of the men/women lifespan difference.
Another senseless rebuttal. At least there's no mention of monkeys this time. My argument stands: you offer no value here. Go elsewhere, and take your family of like-minded monkeys with you. And in turn, save all of us our time instead lmao.
One’s skill as a general is only one, relatively minor factor to success on the grand strategic level. Manpower, economic resources, will to fight, and so forth all factor in as well. Imperial France, the Confederacy, and Nazi Germany were all significantly outclassed in almost all of these factors by the time they were defeated.
> Does X not support it?

It technically should, but there's no official page that says it does (and in which combinations) and then there's the question if the DE and other software Linux does. It all in total has a probability of breaking, combine a few rare features and it's pretty much certain something will break. It would be really awesome if say phoronix tested all of those features out in every combination :D

That's a huge claim - it requires a source.

> A man will generally have more body fat than their female counterpart hence men will not feel the "cold" as easily.

Men have lower typical body fat than women, so you are starting from a wrong assumption.
Life-shortening injuries aren't counted as fatalities, so few fatalities doesn't necessarily negate the argument.

Exactly this. ARM is not a platform. It's some SoC where each manufacture solders some random pins to random chips. Few manufactures publish device tress and only the dead Windows phones have UEFI+ARM (with their locked bootloaders. Fuck you MS).

If ARM manufactures want to get serious about devices for enthusiasts, hobbits and Linux users, they need more UEFI+ARM solutions that can boot plain old Linux or Windows 10 ARM.
The mental gymnastics at work here are to be expected. There's really a total lack of integrity when it comes to Europeans admitting the extraordinary crimes of the past and providing redress. This is why absolutely nobody takes seriously the empty words about human rights. And note it is not a matter of "ancient history"; it is widely recognized that American soldiers looted art from Iraq and Afghanistan worth millions [1] but there is very rarely investigations and prosecutions for this.

I'm not following your comment, Federal student loans started in 1958 [1] but costs didn't start to skyrocket until the late-80s/90s. Since the late-80s costs have more than tripled at public universities after adjusting for inflation from about $3,000 to almost $10,000 [2].

==dump money into an industry while increasing demand==

Did the money create the demand or are you saying they dumped the money while also creating demand?

==not changing supply==

Do public universities have the same number of available seats as they did in 1958? 1980? 2000?

>> Once a couple people have measured the same tree and produced simillar measurements, we can be fairly confident in those measurements.

Really? I remember a fight about a year ago over whether or not it was hot on a particular day in DC. Half the US decided that they couldn't trust the biased weather reporting system. The perception of constant bias in all things meant we couldn't agree on a simple temperature record. A subset of these people cannot trust doctors enough to take vaccines or antibiotics. A further subset cannot even trust that the earth is round.
Total occupational deaths in first world countries are pretty minuscule as a percentage of total deaths. Only ~4,500 in the entire US vs ~2.5 million total deaths. It seems unlikely that that that would account for much of the discrepancy, even if you assumed it was 100% men.
Nearly wiping out the bison was not a prerequisite to the US becoming self sufficient. Nor is destroying their natural areas a prerequisite for developing nations.

Additionally you’re presenting a false dichotomy of either we hold back developing nations or we say goodbye to nature. That’s ridiculous. We can help them to grow and become modern and raise their quality of life while preserving their precious natural areas.
I would think $100-150k is reasonable. Why would you take much more than that if you actually believe your startup will be successful? If I were an investor, a founder taking the amounts you list would be a red flag and I would walk away immediately.

The "cast the first stone" rhetoric is a clue that you're not really convincible regarding war and its machinations.

There are plenty of countries who refuse to participate in the wanton destruction of the Middle East and illegal, criminal, unrestrained warfare. America and its allies are, alas, far too addicted to the economies of such to change any time soon. Not soon enough, anyway.
