Scribus is just somewhat unintuitive. It can flow text between as many frames as you like.

I'm not a professional with InDesign by any means, but used it quite a bit for the school newspaper in high school circa '04 and supported other folks using it in college and pretty much everything we did with inDesign at the time is quite possible with Scribus.

It's been a few years since I really did anything with it, but the main things I remember being irritating are a UI model without dockable components and it being vastly better to input some things from the keyboard rather than trying to do them with a mouse.
so what is an electronic address?
I like articles like these where you can't tell whether it's about Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or Psychology till you're a significant chunk in.

> I think it’s worth asking why people feel the need to lie about the future of AI?

I wonder if it's because it's so vague and fuzzy, or because the techniques are so general. Like with self driving cars. The will someday probably be safer than people and that's huge. People get excited. We want that! Self driving cars save lives! But in those four sentences we went from "will someday probably" to let's do it now. The class of thing we're talking about now and the class of thing in the future are one and the same, so it's hard to talk about the future versions as distinctly separate from today's.

AI will probably be able to talk to people well. We have AI today that talks to people. They're not the same thing, but these two sentences don't make that clear, because it's all AI.

In principle, polynomials can learn any function! And we have polynomials today! We can learn anything! Rinse and repeat with fourier series or (as a totally random example) deep learning and it sounds like tomorrow's techniques are the same as today's, so we're done, right?

Or maybe it's on lay people's poor math and stats skills and lack of understanding of the simple stuff. If I tell lay people I do stats, they think I'm taking an average with a lot of bureaucracy they don't really get. They won't think I'm using simple logistic regression to do really cool stuff like classify documents. They didn't know "stats" could do that! So they might be even more misled about what I do if I call it "statistics" than if I call it "AI." If they're mislead whatever I call it, we're already screwed.
It's an uplifting article but it totally ignores the problem of software patents.

Electronics is worse: I have had multiple "brilliant" ideas for small electronics only to find out someone beat me to it or has patents around the idea that prevent anyone from creating such a product. After the third time experiencing that, I gave up on inventing anything electronic.

Before you discount me, I am actually very good at conceptualizing products, but so are a lot of people. The hard work is in developing it further and taking it to market. And then losing your ass 99% of the time.

As far as software goes, it just seems like you have to have some inside track. The one person I know who made it pretty big did so because he previously worked at the company that ended up buying his company. I don't want to take away from his work, it was brilliant and I guarantee you have heard of it. However, the relationships he created were what mattered most, and of course, luck.
Why the "but" ? If you explain to someone how to install a crypto wallet on a computer knowing that this installation will help that person do tax fraud, then you're an accomplice to tax fraud; and if you explain to someone how to install a crypto wallet on a computer knowing that this will help DPRK evade santions, well, that's a crime on its own. Telling others how to do simple things (that they could find on the internet on their own) and providing trivial, simple help may be a crime depending on the intent.

There's no requirement to provide some unique, significant, irreplaceable insight or service, knowingly providing any help whatsoever is sufficient. Helping a buddy wash his car is a simple, nice thing to do; but helping a buddy wash blood off of his car before the police gets to it is a crime.
Everything is recursive anyway. I don't think it is a special property of our language.
Hard to call it a successor of SMS when have the world uses iOS which does not and currently has no plans to support it. So more just another service rather than a replacement for SMS which is a way for all phones to communicate with each other.
Nope, "Test patterns" doesn't show this real bitrate and other info on my devices. There is no yellow text like on the screenshot, at least in my case. There was a real test in Netflix which did show this, I used it when testing my phone a few years ago, when I learned that it doesn't support Widevine L1. It was called "Example Short 23.976" but it looks like it was deleted since. This year I changed phone to model that supports Widevine L1 and I wanted to test it, but it looks like currently there is no way to do it.

Western culture says it’s monogamous due to moral and law, but something between 1/4 to 1/2 of the men and up to 1/3 of the women “cheat”. So in terms of genetic diversity it’s the same, we just pretend it doesn’t happen while other cultures don’t see an issue.
$11M isn’t trivial, but for a company that’s got billions in turnover it’s not significant either. Top brass will say “Let’s fix that” and move on.
A photographer can, at the very least, choose the angle from which to project. There are avenues for some amount of unique creative expression.

This 3D scan though, is not a reproduction. It is a measurement.

If I run my tape measure around Nefertiti's head, I will obtain a measurement. If you repeat it, it will be the same, provided we both know how to use a tape measure, limited only by the fidelity of our tool.

In fact, any technician, given the tool and a manual, will create precisely the same 3D model.

Having seen Nefertiti with my own eyes, it was a transformative experience, for which I am thankful. But I could never shake the feeling that it should not be in Berlin. I was only able to justify my purchasing the ticket from the looters, since they can be considered to render a service by at the very least preserving it. Like a hostage should be grateful for receiving food. But they certainly do not own it, nor any rights derived from it.

The article's Delay function unfortunately has a rollover bug. If the counter rolls over in the middle of a delay, the delay will return early. It's a nefarious bug because it only occurs every 50 days, and only if the program is delaying. Also, while it's probably ok in this usage since it's a 32-bit cpu, it would be better to use atomic access intrinsics or a critical section and memory barriers rather than volatile to make the counter variable "ISR safe".

Embedded code is a lot of fun, but if you want to safely work on the "really fun" stuff it's important to maintain a high level of quality and correctness for fundamental but lame utility functions like this. Otherwise you could literally build a ticking time bomb!
It's not just sunk cost fallacy. Everything I've bought from Costco has been at least "good" with most of the products pushing into "great" territory. The curation is one of the benefits of the membership.

Especially in the era of Amazon shoving counterfeits every which way for every conceivable product, it's nice to have at least one retailer that isn't just hawking shelf space to anyone with a dollar and crap to sell.
Any breakdown you're aware of for that by licence?

Note that AGPL applies to few projects at this point. Amazon is very heavily reliant on, e.g., Linux and Xen, both of which are GPL v2.
It's not just sad or inconvenient for independent websites, it could lead to identity theft. I've got my own domain name specifically to not be dependent on the whims of Google or my ISP. I control my own email domain, or so I thought. If someone can take my email domain like this, they can also it access all sorts of sensitive information.

The internet really, really needs to be more reliable than this. Losing a domain name for an unknown reason should be impossible. Also, losing a domain name by accident should be a lot harder.
I feel neurologically-predetermined to fret about my deterministic cosmic dice roll. D:
I have a few domains I don’t host public-facing websites on - they’re used for either email, or internal things at home, or just hosting txt records.

There’s no sane way to validate a domain isn’t in use.

True, it does depend on "what", but a question of trust doesn't relate to "what"; I think one either trusts the government to regulate a certain "what", at least potentially (this is true for most people), or one doesn't trust the government at all (anarchists). So the argument that the government can't be trusted should be better reformulated as saying that the government can potentially be trusted - that potential manifests itself in its successes in food regulation, for instance. But it also removes the force of the argument, because now the non-anarchist has to answer why the government can be trusted on some things but not others. I haven't seen the justification that here's anything that makes the Internet (or, more broadly, speech) particularly special.
The only way they would sell you an XO was if you were going to give one to every kid in the country as part of a centrally planned education policy. While this could have been very effective, there's no denying that it's structurally much more Lenin or Castro than Pinochet, Eisenhower, or even Yew. If that's not obvious to you, it says more about your knowledge of political ideas than about my mental health; perhaps you only know “communist” as a pejorative due to US jingoism?

A capitalist approach to the problem would have stopped them from failing as completely as they did but also would have eliminated the possibility of the far-reaching transformation of education they were seeking to impose.
Again, no need to evict people. The state will get its money someday. For shorter term expense needs, they can issue bonds referencing that lien as the collateral. Everyone dies eventually.
The Standard ML implementation called ML Kit added memory tracking to the type system in order to infer the lifetime of objects. I ran into a safe C dialect that built on the work in ML Kit to avoid memory allocation overhead in C as well, but I can't remember the name of the project. The Cyclone project mentioned in the link might have been it, but it has less automation than ML Kit.

“The most talked-about part of the exhibition was the "human zoo" — a mock African village set up in the estate's woods and ponds. King Leopold, who never set foot in Congo, imported 267 Congolese men, women and children to Tervuren and displayed them behind a fence.

“When Leopold heard they were getting sick because of candy they were eating that was tossed to them by the crowd, he put up an equivalent of a 'Don't Feed the Animals' sign at a zoo, saying, 'the blacks are fed by the organizing committee,'"“

Unfortunately, parts of the section about integration are wrong and contribute to some of the widespread confusion about the FTC, which often seems reduced to a mere tautology (which it's not; it's a deep result).

First, the "indefinite integral" is really just the antiderivative (and as such, "the" indefinite integral is only unique up to a constant). This doesn't follow from the 1. FTC, but purely by definition.

OTOH, the definite integral is not "defined" as being the difference of antiderivatives; it's defined in terms of Riemann sums (at least in elementary calculus), as explained further below.

What the two parts of the FTC do is proving that those two notions, which have no a priori reason to be related, are in fact related in a particular way.

The first part of the theorem says that, if f is "nice" (in particular: continuous), the antiderivative exists and can be expressed through the definite integral with a variable upper bound.

The second part says that, if f has an antiderivative, the definite integral can be computed using that antiderivative.

It's important to keep this distinction because there are e.g. functions that are integrable but don't have an antiderivative (e.g. a function with a "jump"). In such a case, the FTC tells you nothing and you have to go back to Riemann sums to compute the definite integral.
There doesn't even have to be a 'the item'. If someone spent their budget, or spent enough to feel guilty about spending more, they're a lost sale.

Scott Adams Has Some Ideas for a Calmer Internet
Motivation is not required for this to be a crime, at least in the sense you're using it.

What you're referring to is the "mental state" requirement for criminal liability. Mental state requirements vary with the statutes, and fall generally into buckets like "knowingly" or "recklessly" or "willfully" or "intentionally".

For 50 USC 1705, the standard implicated is "willfully". You can read all sorts of things about what the "willfully" standard requires, but here's a good trick when you want to use Google to quickly parse a criminal law question: Google your search term along with [model jury instructions]. These are the templates used as a starting point for the "rules" given to juries to reach verdicts.†

For "willfullness" in federal court, you'll find something like this:

The offense(s) of (state offense or offenses that include willfully)
charged in the indictment require(s) the government to prove that
(name) acted “willfully” with respect to an (certain) element(s) of
the offense(s). This means the government must prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that (name) knew (his) (her) conduct was unlawful and
intended to do something that the law forbids. That is, to find that
(name) acted “willfully,” you must find that the evidence proved
beyond a reasonable doubt that (name) acted with a purpose to disobey
or disregard the law. “Willfully” does not, however, require proof
that (name) had any evil motive or bad purpose other than the purpose
to disobey or disregard the law. [“Willfully” (does) (does not)
require proof that the actor knew of the existence and meaning of the
statute making his conduct criminal.]

Note carefully: "“Willfully” does not, however, require proof that (name) had any evil motive or bad purpose other than the purpose to disobey or disregard the law.".

This standard is presumably why the complaint takes the time to point out multiple instances at which Griffith makes it clear that he's ignoring the sanction rules.

† I have no legal training at all, but it's my understanding that jury instructions are one of the fronts that a criminal trial is fought on, and so the template model jury instructions might not ultimately be the ones given to the jury; with that said, it seems unlikely that basic matters of law, like what a statute means when it refers to someone committing an offense "willfully", are really likely to budge much.

Also a corporation is a person because judges have ruled that too.

I certainly agree that opinions can differ whether various things (e.g. intellectual property) should be called property or not. But personally I don't like the dilution of the concept. "Ownership" of a URL is more like a contractual right.

As for your home/land, if you don't pay property taxes the govt may begin a legal proceeding to seize it which must satisfy the usual checks and balances when the govt wants to violate your rights. Then they probably auction it off and the balance minus your back taxes goes to you. The point is you have real rights. Meanwhile your domain may be worth a million bucks at auction but you aren't getting squat because you forgot to pay the $12 fee, or violated some other detail in the contract.
Intent matters.

The answer to "where do we draw the line" is that all the things you describe would be aiding and abetting if a jury would be convinced that you did it with an intent to aid them.

If you write "a general developer FAQ that would get anybody dev-minded up to speed" with the intent to help general developers everywhere and DPRK uses that, that's okay; but if you write the exact same FAQ content with an intent to help DPRK get that information because you figure out that just sending it directly in an email might be too visible, then that would be a crime, if intent can be established - based on e.g. your earlier communication and writings.

It's a prohibition on trying to achieve a specific result, not on a prohibition on any particular means of achieving that result.

That's probably a part of it. Note how the Google TPUs aren't for sale. If you want them you have to use the Google Cloud. The cloud is expensive and slow ... I think everyone is shocked when they first see perf numbers coming off Azure.

I don't know if GCE is better, but the temptation to overload the hardware is always there: hardware rental is fundamentally a business with low barriers to entry. Anyone can buy some machines, bring up a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster and start renting it out. So the big 3 are always looking for proprietary advantage and dedicated AI chips are something other firms can't easily do at the moment, making it a good source of lockin.

Do many people need it though? Deep learning is pretty useless for most business apps, unless you happen to need an image classifier or something else pre-canned. Classical ML is often sufficient, or better, human written logic. The latter can be explained, debugged, rapidly improved and in the best case requires no training data at all!

Ghettobird here. Hello!
There is nothing wrong with being average. You should have enough energy to swim above the event horizon, where bad things happen (i.e. financial instability and job insecurity, the root of all evil).

If you don't have the motivation to be excellent, don't try. There really is no point to it, as the author pointed out. Excellent people have an inner "drive" to get there and they seek tremendous joy from walking that path. If you force yourself to do it, you will always be unhappy and your brain won't be able to compete no matter how much you try because there is nothing more important for success than this: You need to love what you do. But also, you need to be at the right time in the right place, have the right environment to strive and parents who have the ability to support you.

The world is a mean and unfair place...

Anecdotally, my step mom was trying to buy 2 apple watches from Costco and gave up after an hour of trying to get through the cart. I realized that Amazon had them for the same price, so she bought it from there instead.

So there are at least some lost sales by people shopping elsewhere. It's rare that a specific price is only offered by only one retailer for a product.
Maybe intelligence has led to higher stress as we can better recognize what competence looks like and thus what to aim after. So everyone knows what it is better and they all want it, because they know it means the best chances at evolutionary success, regardless of whether the individual is capable of actually reaching that level of competence.

In games you can see this competitive struggle and meta forcing and how dare you stray from obviously the best strategy. I believe there are correlates everywhere there is a hierachy of competence.
Wow thanks for the kind words! I'm one of the makers. We still haven't found a solution for some of the problems that you've mentioned, but our focus from the start will be around privacy. I think you've grasped that problem yourself when you mentioned a self-hosted version.

On the technical side, we currently see this as something that can index on-the-fly, and maintain an internal representation of all the people who have the authorization needed to see the document.

I really like the idea of "auto-tagging". There's already research done on algorithms that generate tags from bodies of text. So it shouldn't be too difficult to integrate that into indexing.
