I wasn't talking about such a thing. I was talking about being able to create a "plaf" theme using a visual editor or at least some rules in CSS or similar script that applies to the entire Swing application (like Swing's own plafs do) and doesn't require creating subclasses. This has nothing to do with having a designer or not and it is orthogonal to it (you can give the tool/rules/whatever to a designer if you want).
> Full sunlight has up to 30000lux of blue light alone

Well yeah that's the whole point, blue light during the day is perfectly fine, that's how your body knows it's time to get shit done, sitting in front a screen after sunset during X hours _will_ fuck up your rhythm and blocking blue light will moderately mitigate the issue.

> else people in scandinavia would have severe problems with their circadian rhythms.

They do, just like you do when we switch to winter time. It's not a "problem" though, it's just our body's natural response. The problem arise when you shift your rhythm so bad that it impact your life / work schedules.

> If you filter those out, the result ist basically zero quality studies.

It's 100% a fact that blue light is the light which impact the production of melatonin the most, and that melatonin directly regulate your circadian rhythm.
I'm building my own bright lamp recently. I bought 20 Philips bulbs, 1500 lumens each. I attached sockets for them in 5 by 4 array to a 40 by 40 cm board. I'm gonna attach the board to the ceiling and hang transparent ikea kitchen cabinet lining below the lamp so it spreads light a bit so it's not too bright to look directly at it.

It takes about 250W and gives over 10 lux from 1m.

My current setup are two 100W led reflectors pointed at the white ceiling. Thet give over 200 lux at my desk but are very greenish. It shows up on the camera (with any whitebalance) and is even slightly visible to the naked eye.

New lamp should be significant upgrade in terms of colors and light strength. Total cost is around 50$ because I bought lightbulbs very cheap and used cheapest available sockets, plus few hours of very relaxing work. Reflectors were even cheaper. Just 20$ and hanging them was less than an hour.
Anti-Black Bias on the IAT Predicts Pro-Black Bias in Behavior
I've checked the prices and it seems a XFX branded Radeon VII with 16GB RAM can be had for similar price as Nvidia RTX 2070 super with 8GB. This is very interesting.

I hope someone publishes benchmarks comparing those cards in training most frequently used network architectures. I would be heading to buy one of those Radeon cards myself if not for their lack of performance with conv networks.

Also, current version of Nvidia RTX cards with tensorflow supports automatic mixed precision training which can significantly speed up training of some networks.

I think we're still quite far from having a serious competitor to nvidia in general purpose machine learning.

Singapore is classified as changing from civilian dictatorship to military dictatorship in 2004 in the source data [0] for that article because the newly elected Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was a brigadier general until 1984. So it's for purely formal reasons, not because there was a military takeover.

Note that by this measure, there can be "military democracies", such as the U.S. during 55 years (in 1946-2008) where the president was ex-military (e.g. Bush).

A 90-Minute Morning Routine That Will Make You More Productive on a Work Day
While this page looks nice, there is certainly a proliferation of beginner articles in this area. I think it's driven by demand, the same way gyms get tons of new members in January. As someone who sees all the hype and salaries involving ML, you dream of doing it too, so you look for articles to start out. That's the demand. After reading it, you don't get it and have no patience so you raise demand for titles like "ML for humans" or ML made easy or "Gentle intro to ML for the rest of us". Or ditch articles and watch Siraj ramble about making money with an AI startup today! I'd wager that only a small percentage of readers actually works their way through to advanced topics.

On the supply side (while TFA looks legit) people who are a few lessons ahead want to increase their visibility, start a blog/brand, make their CV stand out by showing community engagement and writing from a position of authority. This is mostly seen on Medium.

How to avoid the trap of being an eternal beginner? Accept that it will take time, be clear on your goals, try gathering a group of peers and expert guidance. Reddit and forums can be crap for this as you the beginner will gravitate towards the self proclaimed experts who may be full of shit and just play social games well, creating a blind leading the blind situation and cargo culting around terms that nobody really understands. There is a value in universities: they lay out a path, give guidance and let you work/learn together with peers.

> How the F can you have a STEM contest that doesn't reward the most innovative solution?

It's frustrating - but a competition that truly didn't care about anything except the best solution wouldn't have limited entry to high school kids!

When I was in high school, I was the only kid with a home computer (this was some time ago!) and the only kid whose dad had a CNC machine shop at his beck and call. So I won quite a lot of prizes. But even with those resources, I didn't win 100% of the time.

Maybe some competitions inferred from my work that I'd had an 'unfair'. Maybe they couldn't tell how much of the work was of my own hand. Maybe they feared becoming a competition for 'best parent' instead of 'best student'. Maybe they were trying to encourage students and judged I didn't need any encouragement, or that their scheme to encourage more students into engineering wouldn't work if the prizes always went to someone with a parent who was an engineer.

The good news is, loads of competitions didn't really give a shit about those things, and were happy to give me a prize. You've just got to enter more competitions until you find ones that you win :)

No other manufacture does over the air software updates. This problem stems from the fact that the firmware image got bigger with each update as incredible new features were added leaving the logs to be written over a smaller area. Also soldered on eMMC is probably less prone to failure than removable microsd under typical automotive conditions.
We had an computer system architecture class on the CS degree I did that started with the Manchester Mark 1 and looked at the development of particular features over time - was a really interesting class.

But routing has indeed become very cheap. I still could see this service as useful, especially for the amateur prototype market. There are a lot of software devs that immediately die if they come in contact with electricity in any form.

But they might still need some hardware. And maybe they could offer some templates where you can just add the chips you need right now.
For Hawking, radiation was steady and thermal (no data) until the black hole evaporates down to Planck scale, at which it would be impossible to release all the entropy, leading to the paradox of information loss.

In hemmed-in situations, you must resort to stratagem. In desperate position, you must fight.

https://suntzusaid.com/book/8

At the critical moment, the leader of an army acts like one who has climbed up a height and then kicks away the ladder behind him. He carries his men deep into hostile territory before he shows his hand.

He burns his boats and breaks his cooking-pots; like a shepherd driving a flock of sheep, he drives his men this way and that, and nothing knows whither he is going.

To muster his host and bring it into danger:—this may be termed the business of the general.

Pseudoscience in the Witness Box
The median income in Singapore is S$5400/mo, or around US$40k/year. This is a king's ransom compared to neighboring countries and that's why so many people come to Singapore to work.

There absolutely are abuses, particularly for maids and manual laborers, but many of the worst (eg advance fees that put them into debt) are explicitly illegal in Singapore, and calling white-collar expats "slave labor" is absurd hyperbole.
I understand why you think that, and you might be right. But I also know there are a lot of good people at Google, and I dream of the company waking up as a group again and focusing on its mission responsibly. Doing the right thing, openly.

Having said that, I personally also think that social networks and other internet technologies should run on a federated protocol: my current (early stage) proposal for the kind of thing we should try to do with this technology is https://flancia.org/agora. I see it as compatible/synergistic with the post we're discussing.
My hypothesis:

• for 1/e ≤ y ≤ e: x = y^(1/y)

• no solutions elsewhere

Can anyone prove the above? :-)
Warming Waters, Moving Fish: How Climate Change Is Reshaping Iceland
I personally like the idea of a colony on the Moon. In my mind I even have the killer app for such a colony: an astronomical telescope. There are 5 things going for such an telescope: 1. no atmosphere (so no need to deal with atmospheric turbulences in post-processing) 2. no radio chatter 3. no seismic activity 4. 14 days out of 28 the darkest night one can have inside a solar system 5. a little bit of gravity. The last one is something that can't be said about space-based telescopes like Hubble and James Webb. Having a bit of gravity means you can have people working over there. It means you can perform maintenance and upgrades. With Hubble and especially James Webb, what you send in space is what you'll ever get. So you better send something good. Once in space, there are no iterations, except software upgrades. Nothing like "move fast and break things". This necessary perfection at iteration number 1 makes the price of a space-based telescope skyrocket. JWST is projected to cost a cool $10 BN [1]. At that price, I'm sure we can build a whole Moon base and a telescope much bigger than JWST.

I think there are a lot of things that could be called "Financial Literacy". I am advocating for something immensely practical for normal working class consumers to set themselves up to manage a household and perhaps a small business.

That is, emphasize finances (practically, using realistic tools). Covering basics of Finance is probably fine, but only to the extent that they understand the gravity of a 22% compound interest rate. Being able to do complex calculations with that rate is probably less practical than learning some other things, like knowing how buying a piece of property works.

No my friend. On the contrary, this is how a country becomes rich. Space missions have hundreds and thousands of parts and services. If even half of these are sourced locally this gives a boost to the industry meaning a richer economy with more scientists and engineers and more engineering jobs. And when you have a rich competitive economy, you can fund a social safety net.
