Can you elaborate how the themes in this game map onto themes in Brothers Karamazov? I tried doing that myself, based on plot synopsis in Wikipedia, but was not able to.

Not to mention that just equivalence of narrative content does not mean anything in terms of work of art's quality - i.e. one could write the most wretched version of Brothers Karamazov, with technically the same content, but just no substance... The true value of work of art reveals itself in how deep it is - i.e. how much it can deliver to its reader (in terms of richness of characters, jumping points for philosophical thought etc.). BK were studied for over a century now, with countless articles and PhD theses from different angles written about it - a true testament to its richness. One can wonder how deeply "Nier Automata" will be studied.

Here are some solutions for you:

Affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods. We know how to build this. We used to do it all the time. We just zoned it out of existence.

Mixed use areas with residential above commercial.

Good public transit.

Passive solar design.

Vernacular architecture.

Support remote work and small time operators instead of actively crapping all over them and trying to drive them out of existence.

Institute universal health care in the US, like most developed countries have. That would go a long way towards protecting people from poverty. So would making affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods.

I've studied this stuff for a lot of years. I just don't get listened to because I was a homemaker and homeschooling mom and I spent years homeless.

I've lived without a car for over a decade. I currently do remote work. I currently live in a small space in a walkable downtown area with good public transit.

I would love to further enhance the downtown area I live in, but, hey, I don't have a driver's license and yadda, so no one is going to hire me to do that kind of work.

But this can be done. And it doesn't have to involve pushing people into poverty, though we would all benefit if we would stop wallowing in North American Affluenza. Less is more and all that.
This was, in fact, the original point of css. You're supposed to be able to add your own user-defined styles to "the cascade". Unfortunately modern browsers don't really implement this right and you're stuck using weird 3rd party plugins to accomplish this.
If that would be true, Chrome would never become popular either. It's not a default browser on Windows, macOS or Linux. And yet people installed it anyway to the point it became the most popular browser. So your point of 99% people not touching defaults is nonsense. Even on Android Chrome isn't the default browser - Samsung Browser is (with Samsung being by far the most popular OEM).

Android isn't iOS where you're not allowed to replace the browser at all.
"Ioannidis added that he did not know how much the study cost, but the funding came from an anonymized pool of financial gifts given to Stanford’s Office of Development: “This form of funding is the most unconflicted type of funding process to do research. It secures perfect intellectual and scientific independence of the study.”

Anonymizes pool of financial gifts but he was in contact with the guy? Is that a joke?

And then suggesting funding a lab if the kit is validated:

Could it not be the case that there are surprising mechanisms or feedback loops that we do not currently know about; mechanisms that could put a damper on these predictions?

More generally: aren't these multi-decade predictions simply hubris? The climate is a very complex non-linear system with tons of inputs and interactions. There's many examples of these types of systems for which our predictions fall short or are extremely inaccurate: weather over multi-week timescales, the economy, even the recent Covid-19 models.

Am I the only one that thinks we should be a little more careful and conservative when putting out these sorts of dire predictions?

I am using i3 but what bugs me is that tabs now seem to be part of the browsers.

There's no elegant way of telling Firefox to never use tabs, always open a new window. There are some extensions pretending to this, but the experience is terrible. There actually is a new tab created which is then detached.

I don't usually use Chrome, so I looked up wether it handled this, but it seems to rely on extensions too.

Qutebrowser works, but it has other limitations, such as poor extension support.

I don’t understand why modern pixel art (outside the demo scene) almost never includes dithering and anti-aliasing. A lot of the creations are artistically impressive, but lack fundamental techniques.

Employing such techniques would make for a wider range of aesthetics and the ability to cover more subjects and a broader emotional range.

I get it, but at the end of the day it's up to a site owner, surely? Much like we get to choose our site design, we also get to choose whether it's dark or light. It has always been this way.

The CSS property is a good indicator that you prefer a dark color scheme. In my case by turning this on I want an all dark UI on everything I use - all the time. Do we really need to force toggles on every website we build now for a small number of users who want a dark browser UI, but light websites? I'd prefer to go with the assumption that they want the design dark too.

The audio generation is split into packets or chunks of audio. There are two general methods of storing/generating these chunks:
1. LPC/formants -- building the audio using the LPC (linear predictive coding) or frequency (formant) parameters and a residual carrier for the difference;
2. OLA (overlapped add) -- combining and overlapping audio split at individual wave (peak to peak) packets.

The different systems (klatt, MBROLA, etc.) build on these basic techniques. The *OLA systems are more space intensive, as they need more of the audio data to synthesize the voice, but tend to result in more natural voices.

The other complexity is how the individual phonemes (building blocks of speech) are stored. Different languages and accents have different sets of phonemes, so more complex languages require more data. Systems like MBROLA store the data as diphones (from the mid-point of the first phoneme to the mid-point of the second), to make it easier to join the phonemes. There are more diphones, although not all combinations are in a given language and accent.

This data is controlled by different prosodic parameters (e.g. pitch and duration). Neural nets can be used to control these parameters, or techniques like decision trees and probabilistic models.

IIUC, there are two approaches to neural nets when using audio generation: 1) generate the LPC/formant parameters; 2) generate the audio directly. These can either operate on phonemes, or on the text directly. Operating on the text directly limits the voice to a particular language and accent, but potentially allows the neural net to infer pronunciation rules itself.

Very off topic, but scrolling through the link you posted was amusing, but one of giphy's entries was this: https://giphy.com/gifs/RwQYRsO7s9l6w

Did somebody edit the video to create that gif, or could that have been machine generated? Are human-made gifs actually a source for image tagging with context???

Context is interesting here: uBlock Origin is one of the few extensions available in "Firefox Preview," the new Firefox app for Android. The app is somewhat controversial for breaking existing extensions, but they have been slowly adding some whitelisted extensions, with uBlock having been the first announced.

I hope Mozilla is able to roll out full extension support sooner rather than later in FF Preview, but I do appreciate that they take it seriously enough to work with developers this closely.

I think there might be something deeper to it. A lot of manga and anime take place in school as well, and I'd be surprised if it's just because all the artists know how to draw is schoolchildren. This is even more surprising because it seems like to me that the majority of western comics and tv shows don't take place in school settings.

I expect that this is the sort of thing that only seems weird to outsiders like me. Maybe people in Japan look at the US and wonder why we have so much media about superheros, and so little about highschool, even though highschool is something almost everyone has experienced and has powerful memories of.

Ashamed to say I haven't read a non-tech book start to finish in a long time. I simply don't enjoy it.

That’s megabits per second, not megabytes, so your numbers are off by a factor of 8.

Where has that $1.20 per terabyte figure come from? It doesn’t match the sorts of rates that I’ve seen talked about. As an example of commercial retail (not wholesale) rates: Backblaze B2 cloud storage is one of the better options available, at $5/TB/month for storage and $10/TB for bandwidth per https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html. (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud are all at least five times the cost for traffic. Seriously.) Meanwhile, your standard $5/month VPS (Digital Ocean, Vultr, &c.) tends to include 1TB of traffic per month (and scale up at that rate for a bit, though not far), but charge overages at $10/TB. I have no idea what’s going on with that lot, because Digital Ocean does bandwidth pooling across all your droplets, so it’ll be cheaper to add a new e.g. $20/month droplet and get 4TB of bandwidth, rather than paying $40 for that 4TB of bandwidth.

But remember with PeerTube that the idea is that some of your bandwidth is covered by peering. I have no idea at all what the expected fractions are, but it’s going to depend heavily on your workload: videos just released that everyone’s watching right now will get better peering than videos from some time ago with scattered viewing (where I would expect you would get just minimal peering effects, but my opinion is hunch only and lacks any actual knowledge).

5Mbps is on the high side for HD (1920×1080 @ 30fps) video streaming. I’d think 3.5Mbps was a more typical figure that people would speak of, and for many sorts of content even 2.5Mbps can be more than you need.

3.5Mbps for three minutes is less than 80MB, rather than your 5MBps’s 1GB. At B2 rates (which are drastically higher than what you quoted), each of your three minute videos costs 0.08 cents to view, and each hour of video costs about one and a half of your pennies of the United States of America.
To me, the main appeal of pixel art is to be able to clearly see the individual pixel boundaries. To a lesser degree, I also like the look created by using a limited palette. Antialiasing makes it harder to tell where one pixel ends and the next begins, and dithering makes it harder to identify the individual colors in an image. While technically impressive, both of those strategies are attempts to imitate traditional mediums instead of embracing pixel art on its own merits.

Well. I'm not fond of "metaformal" thingies.

It's nice that we have universal formal systems like cellular automata, Turing-completeness and all. Yet formalism ever only happens on an actual substrate.

The substrate typically has different principles and the properties necessary for the formalism built on top emerge from lower-level, simpler interactions, that typically have nothing to do with the formalism.

This is why quantum mechanics appears so weird. The substrate is so different from the emergent formalism of classical mechanics that we have to give up the mere notion of time that seemed so central.

For another example of unexpected substrate you can build logic gates on top of the overall behavior of swarm of crabs http://wpmedia.wolfram.com/uploads/sites/13/2018/02/20-2-2.p... . In theory, with enough logic gates you can build a Turing-complete system. Not a very efficient one, sure. Generally, remember not all outcomes are determined by efficiency, only by chains of causality.
Isn't this Russell's Teapot? It's impossible to prove that there aren't mechanisms or feedback loops that could dampen climate change. It's an unfalsifiable claim. You have to prove the existence of mechanisms that could reverse climate change without human interaction.

Otherwise, what we're operating on is known mechanisms that are currently causing climate change. One of the facts is that there are already places in the world which are reaching unlivable wet bulb temperatures.

The mljar-supervised is an AutoML tool that works with tabular data. It can handle binary classification, multiclass classification, and regression problems. What's good in it:
- it can produce markdown reports which you can commit to the repository, example: https://github.com/mljar/mljar-examples/tree/master/House_pr...

- it computes the Baseline, so you can check if you need ML or not

- this package is training simple Decision Trees with max_depth <= 5, so you can easily visualize them with amazing dtreeviz to better understand your data.

- it is using simple linear regression and include its coefficients in the summary report,

- it has a vast set of algorithms: Random Forest, Extra Trees, LightGBM, Xgboost, CatBoost (Neural Networks will be added soon).

- it can do features preprocessing, like: missing values imputation and converting categoricals. What is more, it can also handle target values preprocessing (You won't believe how often it is needed!). For example, converting categorical target into numeric.

- it tunes hyper-parameters with not-so-random-search algorithm (random-search over a defined set of values) and hill-climbing to fine-tune final models.

- it cares about the explainability of models: for every algorithm, the feature importance is computed based on permutation. Additionally, for every algorithm, the SHAP explanations are computed: feature importance, dependence plots, and decision plots (explanations can be switched off with explain_level parameter).

I don't know how many satellite offices you've applied to in the EU but I bet your sample size is very small. Don't get discouraged! Hiring processes at most companies are byzantine, multinationals even more so. It's really hard to tell who's pulling the strings or what the constraints are unless you're directly involved in the hiring decisions. I've passed on at least one once-in-a-lifetime hire (brilliant engineer from the Indian space program) just because I thought the H1B paperwork would interfere with a project deadline since my employer was a startup and didn't have the HR infrastructure a big company would have.

Seems they began selling on tools bought from bankrupt companies, and now act as a secondary channel for many "real" high end brands. (Ie they can sell overstock through this company without polluting their main market / brand)

I am going to guess they do more than just tools now.
