This blog explains StyleGANs (by Nvidia Research) and covers some of the clever techniques (Adaptive Instance Normalization, Style Mixing, Stochastic Noise) that you’d need to generate images that you exactly want. Want to see what you’d look like when you are old? The blog also contains all the code you need to experiment on your images.
The whole attitude is what allowed grooming and rape gangs to go on interfered with for so long though.
You are reading it right. I don’t know if it’s obvious, but it is the kind of thing that gets figured out when you find a hotspot in your code and do a little testing.
Thinking Outside the Box
$20 is less than a drop in the bucket, but $20 dollars for essentially a donation is another matter. For the companies that already contribute monetarily to open source, I don't think much changes. The unfortunate reality is that for companies who don't, not much changes.
Solarflare's OpenOnload or Mellanox's VMA both show up as LD_PRELOADS that overload any traditional socket programming unless you want to code your apps to their API directly.

It sure is. I love mine.
There is quite a bit of debate around where the “Karman Line” should really be (the boundary to space).

Recently there have been efforts to define it as less stringent than the 100km limit:

Potentially bringing it back down to 80km (the original definition was a range between 70-90km).

And the worst part is that when the United States tried to ban the importation of Fentanyl, Chinese gunboats attacked San Francisco and Los Angeles, and sailed up the Potomac and looted Washington, DC. The Chinese then forced the United States to pay massive reparations, to defray the cost of Chinese aggression against the United States.

Yes, we all recall the Fentanyl Wars.
I think the way to control running bamboo is with a deep solid fence/wall dug into a trench. I am led to understand that there is a depth that a particular specie will not run below.

I may be wrong. The previous owner of my neighbor's house had a bamboo garden... the current owner was not aware of how to maintain it. The previous owner of my house had a rose garden. I am not a particularly clever gardener, and having grown up in Minnesota, was not familiar with the habits of bamboo. The bamboo ran under the fence, and attacked the roses in our yard before I noticed it. The bamboo identified rose bush root clumps, attacked, surrounded, and choked them.

So in the aftermath, I ripped out dead roses and built a play structure for my offspring, my neighbor ripped out the bamboo jungle and created a nice patio, so we both netted out OK. Our research led us to determine that a trenched solid barrier should have been put in place originally, but we weren't going to test the theory.
Monetary == unfair? Why?
Yes. That's exactly what happened and it was a bridge too far for an east coast computer company.
Draft Text of Proposed New Section 101 Reflects Patent Owner Input
I could see two sides to it. On the one hand, if you're in a position of trying to reduce harm in the society, it makes sense. On the other hand... it is a direct betrayal of the most foundational principles of democracy itself. It is a reversion to pre-democratic principles where the general public are seen as a teeming mass of resources to be manipulated by their betters for goals chosen by those betters, and where influence and participation of the public is to be prevented. Where do you stop once you have decided that the general public generally has bad ideas and shouldn't play a role in their own governance? We did persist, as a species, for thousands of years with governments based upon the notion that those in the government were inherently superior, chosen by a god, from special bloodlines, etc, and I don't see any reason we couldn't get back there. But for the past couple hundred years, we've been trying out this democratic bent where we don't believe there are any specially anointed people destined by mystic forces to be leaders. And actively manipulating the public opens doors to lots of dangerous practices that were previously barred solely upon the principle that it would prevent public participation. Why not suspend elections if it looks like your party will lose power if you earnestly and honestly believe that the other parties won't continue the efforts you started to 'protect the public from themselves'? You can no longer form an argument against it.
This would be a nice feature, less overhead for the donator too as the amount donated can automatically be split up among all of your starred projects. Bonus points to offset a sponsor dashboard where you can use a slider to change the percentage splits. In the future a budget feature can be added for sponsored projects and this dashboard can show which projects haven't yet met their budget for the month or quarter, similar to the banners that show on wikipedia, "this is an open source project and need x amount in order to keep operations going smoothly, if everyone donates y amount that will fund development for z time period."

All I'm saying is that much dumber people have been known to get much closer to taking over the world.

Obviously "infinite memory" and "taking over the world" are exaggerations. By "infinite memory" I mean "much more than any human have ever had, enough to memorize the internet". And by "taking over the world" I mean "be able to amass enough power to become a serious threat".

Humans, with human intelligence have already been way too close to taking over the world or causing apocalypse or whatever.

If we're talking about non-aligned AGI, we're talking, at the very least, about an ElonMusk+ powered sociopath. Isn't that already a cause for concern?

Or, from a different perspective, imagine a business that employs 100 Elon Musks. The article claims that AGIs already exists and they're "useless". Do they? Are they?
Excellent advice here!

I add two more:

* Check out the pomodorro technique. It forces my to break tasks down into even smaller chunks that usual and give me a rush of dopamine when I finish those.

* I try to stay away from systems and languages that are not responsive enough. I need to see results fast and am willing to take quite a pay cut just so that I don't get bored waiting for a job to be done. So no big enterprise company for me, but rather prototyping and freelancing.

Since they were asking people for their identity, then their data is about gender. If they'd looked between people's legs, then it would have been about sex.

Presumably the basis of the observed differences is biological (genetic, hormonal, etc) though there's a good chance that clothing choices figure into it, and that's gender rather than sex. It would perhaps have been also been correct if they inferred sex from gender in their study. The correlation of gender to sex is close enough (given the wide error bars in their data) that it would likely be sufficiently valid. There weren't nearly enough people in the study to segment out trans, nonbinary, intersex, etc. data.

Arguably they're being precise in their reporting, though really they just didn't think about it one way or the other.

Apropos of nothing, however, the study was performed at Middlesex University.

I am cautiously optimistic about this. I recently built a prototype GPU-based 2D renderer which I think has huge potential, but obviously also needs quite a bit of work to become a real product. I've been considering various kinds of hybrid open source business models, where there's a free part but also parts people pay for. I'm pretty sure that can fly, but I'm also hesitating at the idea of spending a huge amount of my time and energy on building a business - I want to concentrate on the tech itself. If I can get close to paying cost of living through sponsorship, that's pretty appealing.

For this to really fly, though, needs to come revenue streams from businesses who depend on open source, rather than other individuals. I'm hopeful this can get there.

I finally read that book a few weeks ago, and one idea Graeber raises in it is something that'd been bugging me for a while: it seems like adding computers to a large proportion of activities and processes makes them less efficient, and increases the load of bullshit jobs to deal with making everything compatible with computer monitoring and computer-"aided" business processes, for gains that may be illusory and which surely do not make up for all the added layers (and cost) of bullshit.

The stuff about the rise of the influence of finance folks and practices on (previously) traditional management staff was interesting, too. I'm not sure his timeline works out, as I'm aware of (fictional) books that treated of precisely this sort of thing (bullshit office jobs, in particular) as an entrenched phenomenon at least as far back as 1961, but I think both ideas are getting at something worth further examination.

Thanks hardbop200! Partly it's because I'm the kind of person who just loves hacking on tall stacks. Before this, I was doing browsers for many years, which has many traits in common with operating systems.

Speaking more emotionally, I feel like *nix used to be a lot of fun and full of hacker's spirit, and it's just not like that anymore. Things aren't simple anymore, and they can't easily be taken apart and understood in an evening, like they used to. So I figured I can just make my own then, just the way I like it :)
Those are both at least 100% ancillary to it's function as a synth and sequencer and are kind of just fun extras for stuff like live performances.

That's unsustainable. Patreon is trying to increase their cut. Currently their recommended plan is at 8%: https://www.patreon.com/product/pricing

They make it look like the extra 3% is to build features for their platform, but the VC funding is for that, and other than developing the feature, having tiers doesn't cost them anything. Charging 8% just makes it a bit closer to being sustainable.

There are tons of real world proposals that do this.

Here's one that's in Congress now that you can support: the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (http://energyinnovationact.org) . All revenue from a carbon tax goes to citizens as a yearly check. It has some 30+ cosponsors, including a Republican. A tax at point of source is more efficent than a per-item budget. Any rising cost of CO2 will be accounted for in the price of the product. Fossil-fuel-expensive products will cost more.

The group behind this is the Citizens Climate Lobby, which has been advocating a fee and dividend model for over a decade. It was cofounded by James Hansen, the NASA scientist who first testified to Congress about the perils of climate change over 30 years ago.

In addition, if you live in the states of Oregon and New York, both are on the cusp of passing similar legislation. And there are many more out there in various stages of development...
At most companies, the CEO's profile picture will have be in a suit, so the heuristic still works.
Popper’s approach still works here. When some one writes a statistics based paper, they basically have said “I have a hypothesis that X correlates with Y. If this is not true (falsifiable), X will not correlate with Y in this data”. The hypothesis survives the test and this is science.
Of course, the authors probably did the opposite, but this doesn’t matter for the philosophical underpinnings.

So how do we detect bad studies? With this same framework. Take the same hypothesis, but design a different test. If the hypothesis fails the treat, publish that. That is science.

We shouldn’t be so hung up on reproducing old papers or scrutinizing every study. You’ll get lost in the details. If a hypothesis is true, it will stand up to every test of it. So if you doubt a result, test it!

Your comment reads that you're angry at Github for not taking a more open source approach. That's a fine opinion to have, but it doesn't make sense to demonize them for being a for-profit company. They are not robbing anyone of anything.

Starving the competition with loss-leader tactics is not an unbeatable strategy. If, however, you don't have anything to offer other than a run of the mill payment processing platform, then yea, you're going to have a tough time beating someone who can cut costs. They have a feature you don't, you should lose.
There have been plenty of (questionable) psychological and sociological experiments that have shown that most people are perfectly capable of evil in the right (or wrong, I suppose) circumstances.

That means the only way to prevent evil is to shape the circumstances in such a way that encourage people to do the right thing, and discourages evil.

So with police, you can't merely trust them that they will always do the right thing and not mistreat or murder suspects, you have to train them, hold them accountable, and create a culture where bad behaviour is simply not acceptable.

My impression of the US police (from reading these kind of stories, as a foreigner, not having any first-hand experience with it) is that US police frequently fails on some, and sometimes on all three of these issues.
May be because the UK police is actually organized along the Peelian Principles.

Sure, the GUI library could definitely be ported to anywhere POSIX-y. The IPC messaging is already based on AF_LOCAL sockets so that should "just work"

The bitmap sharing between WindowServer and clients is using a custom Serenity API ("create_shared_buffer") which is specifically tailored for this system. It can probably be replaced with some equivalent X11/Wayland mechanism in a few hours, if someone felt inclined to do that. :)

> a knee-jerk anti-government reaction, as can be seen in this comment section.

Oh don't worry, we don't need an article like this to bad mouth the UK government. Go into pretty much any pub in the evening, wait about 30 mins and someone will be slagging off the UK Government (Doesn't matter who is in power or what their polices are about, we will find something to bitch about them over).
This reminds me of the time I accidentally participated in a genuinely spontaneous reaction to a bomb attack against civilians by insurgents (or whatever the neutral term should be: somebody's "freedom fighters", I expect).

About an hour after the attack, a huge crowd of people had sat down blocking the streets in the European city, chanting slogans. I was near a group of teenagers, mostly, fairly photogenic, I suppose, so a television crew turned up to film them. When one of the journalists started trying to direct the young people, telling them where they should sit and what they should chant, there was an interesting reaction: they got very angry with the television crew and refused to cooperate, basically shouting at the television crew until it went way.

Unfortunately I only had a basic knowledge of the local language and could only get a rough idea of what was being said.

In view of all that, perhaps I should approve of the UK government's plans: they are directing how naive people react to the violence while at the same time giving less naive people an opportunity to learn about manipulation. Everyone benefits!
JSON serialization does not seem to be supported yet. `JSON.serialize(42n)` gives me a TypeError "Do not know how to serialize a BigInt" in Chrome.
