If your works are displayed in a museum, you're not a struggling amateur. You're supposed to have some kind of ability and that ability shouldn't have to be defended by pointless platitudes.

"Modern" "Art" is very far from someone actually creating something out of passion or curiosity. Last time I visited the Guggenheim, there were three different "works" from three different "artists" on display - all of them were plain, white canvases.

I could have done that, but I didn't - because I'm not sufficiently full of shit. I'd much rather enjoy someone's first attempt at C64 graphics or short story writing or programming, or try to improve my own skills in any of those areas (and many other).
Well said. I think they need to change the name. It is misleading on many levels.

I like this idea but the specific examples you give would almost certainly be a terrible idea. A voice trained on Tolkien or old American legalese like the Magna Carta would train a model with a lot of thee, thus, therefore and though art and undertrain it with modern English. His wife would sound like the second coming of Jesus or Shakespeare and less like a normal human being.
How many websites do you have?
Based on my experience with non-profits, they are just like regular corps except they don't pay taxes, and they're always attached to a for-profit interest. The real community organizations don't tend to incorporate, as then you have to hire people to manage the corp or do it yourself.

This OpenAI work is almost certainly a way for these bigger corps to collude. Proving that would be impossible, though.

> if I were the wife I'd think "sure, let's 'backup' my voice"

That very well seems to be the OP's position as well. That's a far more generous reading of the situation. It makes sense that someone here would have the mindset of "lets keep a backup in case we want access to it later."
Frankly, I think this is hypocritical. Satya Nadella has explicitly stated that Microsoft will not withhold technology from democratically elected governments.

In this context, why is ethical for Microsoft to build the US military a "war planning and operations" cloud as part of the JEDI contract?

In what reality is selling facial-recognition technology to police somehow less ethical than making the US military, in their own terms, "more lethal"?

If Microsoft rejects the police for being human rights abusers, they should do the same for the US military, which has regularly violated human rights around the world.
Always fun to see compilers written in Haskell!

They don't even honor that. My info and deletion requests from months ago were ignored.
On a similar vein of thought, I asked someone yesterday if certain best practices were relevant to their use case, instead of talking about how many shortcomings their app has.

> "Why did this work well yet was a big deviation from what we had planned?"

Huh? Maybe because you only had one person to review who deviated from the norm?! StackExchange changed the way tech forums were ran by forcing everything into the Q&A format. It focuses people and prevents a lot of back and forth to understand the what the OP is asking.

Spec work sucks as a requirement in an interview SUCKs, but at least you can run it.

Though CDL would seem (IANAL) to be more analogous to the DVR in that it's transforming the original product in some manner rather than just boosting a signal.

ADDED: Would it actually be fine to stream an OTA channel? I don't actually know. I'm not sure it would be a business model for anyone but would that be considered a public performance?
The majority (70% or so) of submissions are desk-rejected without even being sent for review, and the ability to do that well is something that's learned over time with extensive detailed knowledge of the particular field served by the journal. Note that there are more kinds of editors than just academic editors, too, even at places like PLOS & eLife.

This is often called "strategic incompetence" (or feigned incompetence).
If a police officer was killed, the more likely outcome would be even harsher and deadlier use of force during future "no knock/plain clothes/home invasions". As we have seen clearly during the past few weeks, police forces will trade away citizen lives for officer safety.
Isn't the base argument is tolerance/inclusivity good, intolerance bad. (Intolerance like inciting violence, suppressing criticism, homophobia, xenophobia, bigotry, the usual.) And simply taking steps that make make the world better according to this base argument is also good?

This of course can become slippery and slope-y eventually, if a propaganda machine takes over as the tolerance authority, but I don't think that's a real problem compared to what the other problems the argument is trying to address.
This reminds me of the “free iTunes song” promotion Apple and Pepsi ran in ~2005. Some Pepsi bottles had codes under the bottle cap that could be redeemed for a free song; non-winning caps just said “Sorry Try Again”.

The mistake Pepsi made was that you could actually make out whether a bottle had a winning or losing cap by looking into the bottle without having to open it (https://methodshop.com/2005/02/hacking-pepsis-itunes-giveawa...).

You still had to buy the soda to get the free song, but if you’re going to drink soda anyway, spending a minute or two picking a bottle with a free song gave you a nice little bonus.
A Braille Unicode Framebuffer Library for the Terminal in C89
[I haven't repeated this disclaimer recently enough. "Race" is a sociological construct with no biological meaning.]

1) Apartheid South Africa gave special status to Japanese people - honorary whites. This doesn't mean that the Japanese people could control their own status; it was a special status given to them by the white supremacists who wanted Japanese trade deals.

Similarly, your 1) is for people were granted special privileges by the racist Christian Germans because of the services rendered for the racist power structure.

But the racist power originated from those Christian Germans, not Jewish Germans.

So, great, you've discovered that some black slaves avoided whippings by helping their white slave masters keep the other slaves in line. With as much sarcasm as I can muster: If only those black slaves hadn't been so racist.

2) How is this racism, any more than white gangsters killing white people? So if a black business owner shortchanges a black customer, that's also racism?

3) Are you effing kidding me?

Everyone who is outraged at, angry with, or otherwise against the police violence against black people is an SJW.

I am an SJW. 60% of Americans believe that ’Racism is built into American society. The assumption of white superiority pervades schools, business, housing, and government.’ according to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov poll. 52% agree that "President Trump is a racist." The majority of Americans are SJWs.

If you are not outraged .. why not?

Drop the nonsensical "SJW" rhetorical label. Demand social justice and equality.

Now, back to 3) By "example" I don't mean some abstract story. Because I remember the lying stories Republicans used about black welfare queens in order to harness good old American racism to shrink our social safety net.

"Agents"? How sinister! You know you could have left it as "SJWs", right?

Your terms have been so over-used by right-wing extremists that they have acquired new meanings.

Your "more discrimination" comes across like those people who insist that "feminism" means not "gender equality in the public sphere" but wrongly that "women should be in charge, and men should be hated."

While your "cancelling" bring to mind all those people who think "cancel culture" means "no one expressing bigoted ideas should ever have to face consequences."

Sorry about that, the project is still very early. Check out the fan_wip branch for actual code.

The point of LiteDIP is to provide both the IPs, and their drivers.

Also, rather than needing IPs to be located at a certain address in any sort of bus (PCI BARs, wishbone, ...), litedip exposes the list of IPs starting at address 0 along with their version and relative address.

The driver then lists these blocks, and either has a driver for this block's version or not.
It seems a bit weird to say that something hasn't been reported in the mainstream media, and then link to a Rolling Stone article on it from two years ago...
Bigger v. Facebook, Inc.
> It can be both. Humans are complex as are human institutions.

I mean, yes, sure, but really not if you're reducing everything into very simple explanations like "it's the white heterosexual men". You can't claim "well, things are complex" when your explanation runs head first into the wall, your explanation claimed that they are not, that they are simple: that was the explanation. It's a problem when this explanation falls apart on the very example it was used to explain.

> Many people’s social circle looks more like them than the rest of society.

Yeah, but not because of race, but because of class. Yale graduates will know more Yale graduates than mechanics. Race is probably somewhere on the list, but I'm quite sure that whatever they study, their political opinions/worldview and taste in music come before that, because that's what creates their social circles. This "we think the same, we talk the same, we have the same worldview, we grew up in similar environments, we're interested in the same stuff, we are in the same income-percent, but our skin tone is different, we are so diverse" thing just doesn't compute for me.

I haven’t seen any concrete numbers. That’s what keeps it in “slogan” territory for me. I’ll admit to not looking very hard for numbers as a failing of my own.

That's wrong in almost too many ways to list. Sam left YC over a year ago, nor would he do such a thing. Nor does YC have that kind of power over companies, nor would it use it that way if it did. That would be wrong and also dumb.
Doesn’t this just mean the police will buy from Palantir now? This problem needs a legislative solution.

I've had many positive experiences because of LinkedIn, whether noticing new interesting people or companies. Though most importantly, I got connected to good companies through LinkedIn and went through their recruitment process. I don't think that would have been possible without it, unless I was actively applying and searching for a job myself. It's not a bad thing to thrown with some new opportunity without being the one actively applying.

What would be the downside of keeping a LinkedIn profile?
There is no fallacy in my statement, it's an anecdote supplied to show some fairly popular, published authors are not making enough money to quit their day job. For those authors, losing income would be painful. It's an example that proves the comment I'm replying to isn't correct.

I'm not even arguing that they would lose money.
To nitpick on Apple in the keyboard realm, I've never understood Apple's decision to make arrow keys half the size of other keys, presumably to fit them into the corner. I use them significantly more than most other keys and I'd much rather sacrifice the right shift key width to fit them all in as normal. It's been at least a decade of this travesty.
I wouldn't drop it altogether, but getting dozens of connection invites daily from people I've never met is very obnoxious. Even somebody from LinkedIn bizdev spammed me after I asked them to stop; I had to block them…. I've since adopted a "have we directly interacted or had a known introduction?" policy and refuse any other connections.
That is one of the main aspects of this app, to expose websites that don't have a comment section or make fake reviews on their websites
Surveys of this sort are deeply flawed because despite their best efforts they never capture anything close to the full dimensional of the person taking the survey. Asking complicated questions that have "it depends on the situation" answers but asking the person being surveyed to pigeonhole their answers into one of a few crude categories is inherently and hopelessly flawed.
When your language has to include a built-in swapper to manage the memory you know you are suffering from the second system effect.

> The Q-32 version was so cramped for space (approximately 48,000 48-bit words) that an application-level swapper was written: If a function was needed but not in memory 1) if memory space was available, the function was paged in by LISP from an ordinary data file, 2) if space was not available, the memory manager tried to create space by shuffling the in-memory area holding binary code to make space, if this did not work some in-memory code was excised or the GC invoked then 3) the dynamic loader read the binary code into memory.

NASA’s New Horizons Conducts the First Interstellar Parallax Experiment
Your challenges to the core intuition are predicated on a simplistic and uncharitable interpretation.

Gambling, watching sports, and speed dating all have secondary motivations (earning money, tribal success, potential to spread your genes, respectively), but what's more is that these are all arenas of controlled and quite specific surprise. You know exactly the type of surprise that you are going to get, and the satisfaction you get from being right or the post-rationalization you perform for being wrong are both useful to the human. Contrast this to the "surprise" of a global pandemic, or massive social unrest. No one knows what's going to happen next and so you have a large contingent of people who are desperately trying to enact conservatism of the "move things back to normal" flavor. This is a stress response, and the stress is induced by not knowing what kind of surprises lay ahead.

The latter is the kind of surprise that is being minimized in the free-energy framework.
Covid Calculator
A visual tool to explore and analyze the potential impacts of COVID-19
I haven't seen evidence the US didn't take the lock downs seriously. The goal initially was to flatten the curve aka. reduce/delay the load on hospitals. It was successful to the point hospitals had plenty ICU capacity and they had to layoff staff. Unfortunately there was no step 2 for the lockdowns.

It's been months now since epidemiologists acknowledged the US could not eradicate COVID-19 without a vaccine. I don't think any large country has been able to (China might be close?). Economists have all been clear that we can't lock down for another year.

There simply is no fight to have at this point. Mitigating damage is the only option.

Is anyone else having bitbucket UI issues?
For the last several days, people in my office (and also when we're at home) are having an issue with the BitBucket UI where, multiple times a day, pages do not load properly. Manually refreshing the browser will fix it 99% of the time. We can't identify any root cause of the issue, so we're wondering if other folks are having the same problem, or if it's just us?
I know that it isn't. That's part of the problem. There is no attempt to generate some sort of structure that can be interpreted semantically and reasoned about by the model. The model just operates on the input superficially and statistically. That's why there has been virtually no progress on trivial tasks such as answering:

"I took the water bottle out of the backpack so that it would be [lighter/handy]"

What is lighter and what is handy? No amount of stochastic language manipulation gets you the answer, you need to understand some rudimentary physics to answer the question, and as a precondition, you need a grammar or ontology.
Other resources you may want to explore are r/mute and r/deaf subreddits. Both also have Discord servers listed in the sidebars.

Having spent a good deal of time in hospitals, a few things I recommend... 10’ phone cable since outlets can sometimes be far from the bed, cheap slippers she can wear to walk around (stepping in a hospital hallway mystery puddle wearing just socks is very unpleasant), comfy clothes that you don’t mind having ruined (T-shirts, underwear, shirts, pajama pants - they can temporarily unhook the IV so she can put a T-shirt on), earplugs, eye mask. If she’s going to be on liquid-only diet, bring your own since hospital food is not great, not terrible. Soylent/Orgain/Ensure if she’s permitted that, otherwise good quality Italian ices are such a nice treat and most hospitals have a patient fridge/freezer you can store them in. Broth, but go to a restaurant or grocery store/farmers market with hot soup bar and fill a container with just the broth from the chicken noodle soup. It’s INFINITELY better than boxed broth.

Hopefully all of your research and preparation will be for nothing, I wish you and your wife a successful surgery!

Well, you do offer a transaction fee to the bank (if you're in the U.S. where these transfers aren't free of charge), but presumably the bank has a fixed fee schedule for that and you don't specify a fee of your choice.

A closer analogy might be a service where you can offer a tip by typing or writing a tip amount. In restaurants, if paying by credit card, you have to manually add the tip amount to the total in order to guard against mistakes in your intention (both through fraud and through your own error). Some online services like food delivery may let you specify an arbitrary tip just by typing it in, and I'm sure people make mistakes in the amount all the time (e.g. $44 instead of $4, or $80 instead of $8.00), though the web sites probably also have a limit on the tip value, so you'll usually only see mistakes of one order of magnitude rather than six.
