This will probably sound a lot more natural than sitting there reading a training corpus. Given that advances in AI are tending to eliminate manual feature engineering, predetermined training corpuses may soon be a thing of the past anyway.
Nope, I enabled the setting and rebooted and still saw the search results.

Does gpupdate /force do something different than what rebooting would do?

Also did you do it on Pro boxes with the 2004 update? This behavior of the setting not working only started with 2004.
It’s not about who has it worse. That completely misses the point. It’s about accurately reflecting on your personal situation and not drawing absurd conclusions to justify a personal opinion. Let’s call this Dunning-Kruger for sympathy.

If you are trying to qualify who has it worse you aren’t focused on a materially objective outcome. For example many of the people protesting in the US in the past few weeks are trying to raise awareness of systemic racism and for police accountability (different issues, by the way). Most of those people aren’t asking for your sympathy because they are looking for impactful change which isn’t found in sympathy.
Looks cool! Is this meant for use in embedded applications? I couldn’t find info about compile targets and performance on resource constrained systems (in other words, can I target an Arduino?)
> not ... indefensible—and which position the student is able to adopt, or feels they must adopt, to defend it, may be instructive. What else they do with the prompt, which is pretty open, is also valuable signal. Express any regrets? Shift blame? Cite history? Take responsibility? Make promises? Resign?

From the article you are literally quoting and bringing up:

> Protesters ... Government has deployed the Army ... twenty-five protesters have been killed by the Army... Write the script for a speech to be broadcast to the nation in which you explain why employing the Army against violent protesters was the only option available to you and one which was both necessary and moral.

Either you are trolling or you are the type of person who doesn't let facts get in the way of making an argument. Either way, I'm done.

P.S. people who assume a lot generally get it wrong. Chomsky is not my favorite political guy. I tend to like Jordan Peterson more as he speaks more to my libertarian tendencies. But again, don't let facts get in the way of you making a caricature of what I think so you can attack it.

There are many anti shoplifting methods that won't slowly creep into knowing my location and thoughts 24/7 and potentially be used against me when _thought of Thursday June 11 2020_ or _person met on Thursday June 11_ is deemed retro actively illegal in 2037.

The question isn't to know if it would be a good thing in a perfect world, but how easy and how far can you push it the other way and make it something completely nefarious. To me the pros are far out-weighted by the cons on this one.
> To live a reasonable modern life you are in practice forced to buy a fridge.

There are plenty of other options besides standard residential refrigerators. To start with you can avoid refrigerated goods altogether, or buy them as needed for each meal. You can use an icebox or one of the small portable fridges sold for camping and travel. You can buy a commercial model rather than something aimed at residential users. Or, finally, you can make your own—the basic principles of thermoelectric or compressor-driven refrigeration are very well-known and instructions are available online.

If you limit yourself to the most popular solutions right out of the gate, don't complain about your lack of choices. The prison you live in is of your own making; you have no one to blame but yourself.

Even if we were talking about something more basic, however, such as food in general rather than merely convenient cold food, there is a very big difference between being "forced" to provide something for yourself due to the nature of the universe and being forced to do something by the deliberate action (or threatened action) of another human being.

> Owning property and earning money are choices, if you wanna take it to this ridiculous extreme.

Nothing about owning property or earning money entitles anyone else to take a portion of your wealth or profits. Force is force, even if you might have avoided being victimized by acting differently. You have a right to do these things without asking anyone else's permission. If they step in afterward and demand that you pay them in response, they are forcing you to pay. As in: making unilateral demands and threatening the use of force against you if you don't comply.

Weird is one of those truly terrible words that's used to control people who are different than us. It's nice for the person using it, since it doesn't actually mean anything and is thus impervious to arguments stronger than "nuh uh". It's almost never actually the right word, and should be avoided in favor of more descriptive language. In order for criticism to be constructive, it must be easily understandable by the person receiving it.

"Don't call people weird" seems like a good general principle (unless they self-identify as weird, in which case knock yourself out). I don't understand this compulsion to try and get people to fall in line and stop being weird.

The from-my-perspective and you-do-you parts are the most important parts, why would you leave them out? You're not in charge.

> A hostile fork

As a GIMP contributor, I have to disagree here.

Our first interaction was indeed far from being pleasant. However, they now seem to have a much better understanding of just how much effort it takes to rebrand something like GIMP and they now realize the technical implications of rebranding as far as functions in the source code (broken plugins).

They also reportedly started moderating their community with regards to how much crap it is allowed to post about the original GIMP project :) Which is also really good to know.

Finally, the guy who maintains the rebranding fork has been a regular on our IRC channel since last autumn or so. I think things are slowly getting better.

I'm not sure how much time they are going to need to roll out the first release of their own GEGL-based image editor, I'm not even sure if there's even any code to build and see. But personally, I think they'd have far less friction if they started out with that part.

All in all, I wish angry people left them alone. I don't think it's in anyone's real interests to have all this shit swinging. And I definitely don't like the idea of GIMP being in the center of this.
These suggestions are getting downvoted, but my girlfriend needed surgery wherein she wouldn't be able to speak for about a month. I know sign language, and tutored her for about a month leading up to the surgery. It was empowering, and she was able to teach friends, family and coworkers a few basic signs which made a lot of interactions go smoother. This low-tech solution doesn't need batteries or internet connectivity, and can provide a much smoother flow of conversation than typing things out.
The biggest example is single window mode. This was the most requested and most upvoted request for years. It was quite obvious that behind the scenes they decided/realized ‘hey, if this feature is that important to people let’s purposely hold it back until we can use it to force people to upgrade. Genius!’

I understand that there is a limited support window and I understand that sustainable software development requires version upgrades, but the way Pixelmator did it left a foul taste in many many users their mouth.
> Honestly, I don't understand how can people be so severely misguided.

Sounds like a good description of school administration to me.

Creativity is critical to a good education, but it's also difficult to measure. Educators want to be able to show (to themselves and others) that they're being effective in a measurable way, so unless you're being creative in a specific and controlled fashion, it's a distraction.

For the first couple weeks, after that she will discover that sign language is easier than typing all the time. Of course this assumes both make a concentrated effort to learn the language. Once basic conversations can be had in sign language the rest comes. There is a small community of deaf people where ever you are that you can join so you won't be alone in your world which is important both for learned faster and for psychological reasons.

Fortunately the effort can be done anytime after the fact, so if she is lucky it might not be done at all.

LinkedIn has its advantages and disadvantages.
I would characterise it as a net positive for me, but it depends who you are, how you use it and what for.

Why net positive? For my second start-up, I found our first customer through LinkedIn. After lots of attempts to source a paying customer that led to no conversions, one day a message arrived saying "You're the only ones in Europe doing this. We want to work with you.". No networking, no clever lead generation, just being there being found in a search did the job.

Never used it for jobs because I got these all conference networking and by personal email exchances or being headhunted. It also gave me lots of speaking engagements.

Recently, LinkedIn has had some issues with too much Facebook-like noise (people posting non-professional content), so I think if there was a more focused, mininmalist alternative, lots of people may switch. There is also the question of potential conflict of interest: LI sells to HR/Hiring functions and to people that already work for companies that use it for these functions. So if I was you, I wouldn't apply via LI to any kind of job in case you'd like to keep that fact from your current employer's HR.
I think we should get kids excited about reading a book through the experience the book provides, not the experience the delivery provides.

In the past they used to have book mobiles, and probably still do in some areas. It's a library in a van...not like a UPS delivery where you pick a book out online and you only get that book. A book mobile is where kids can go in the van, physically touch and feel books and choose one that excites them. They can talk to other kids, talk to the librarian...

At some point when drone delivery of books get boring, someone will need to invent teleportation just to get kids to read.
If she loses her ability to speak there are many ways to help her out, but nothing can replace the sound of her voice, especially for those important moments.

Just in case. Record specific messages for various people in her life, that can be used repeatedly, Children, Mom, Dad, siblings, in-laws, friends, messages like: "X, I love you", "X, I miss you.", "Mommy loves you!" "Give me a hug". "Holiday Greeting", "Happy Birthday","I'm so proud of you!" favorite happy saying, frustration saying,

You get the idea.
Well, I suppose JP Morgan probably saw Knight Capital Group's mistake.

I worked at a place that had seasonal "no deploy" policies and had some software that controlled very expensive equipment. It was amazing the number of processes needed to update certain things.

It is a true balancing act. I do wonder if any actual courses exist that talk to business people about software life cycle, what is needed for a live system, and how to judge such things?
Unfortunately the scientists are still pretty pro-lockdown too.

In my own home I think the difference is becoming stark ( and hopefully doesn't come to a head ). My spouse has worked with deadly viruses and sees risk risk risk.

I'm the engineer, I'm the pragmatists, I look backwards and extrapolate from what has already happened. What are the chances of getting the virus during a barbecue with friends vs. the chances of dying in a car crash during the drive over? Can I believe that the virus "might" spread on surfaces without seeing a lot more cases than I'd expect? Healthy living doesn't just boil down to "not infected".

From what I've seen of those on the right, they see it as ideological capture of core institutions by the left. I can't really refute that.
IP packets have a source field, which can be fake and not their actual IP. That's a Facebook IP, but the packet might not have actually come from it.
In college they taught us Adobe tools. Around the same time I was picking up FLOSS and dual booting Redhat. And GIMP's UI used different terminology and menu nesting. Some of GIMP's choices seemed confusing or redundant.

I've grown more accustomed to GIMP since my job doesn't justify Adobe prices. But it's still quirky to me.
Signed declarations of amendment, then amended papers being added as new one with proof of amendment and link with the original. Kind of like how a keyserver deals with revoked keys.

Cloning Photoshop, poorly or otherwise, has nothing to do with GIMP.

There are many variations on this theme, and the message is all the same - it's better to try and fail than to not try at all. And to expand on it further, growth and learning comes from the the struggle and often coming up short. I was about to walk out onto the mat for my first BJJ comp and told my trainer I was nervous about letting him down. He paraphrased the Roosevelt quote above with 'any person who steps into the arena isn't letting me down'.

Another, what I would also consider a variation of the above, is the quote from Michael Jordan, "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Oh, that was very much planned.

Tracking funds across a transparent ledger like Bitcoin is unfortunately too easy. After going after individuals is trivial. Would love to know if they're also planning to attack more private options decentralized networks like Monero!
I also view the initial "overreaction" as a kind of bootcamp for virus lockdown. Know what you need, how it works, what you'll be allowed to do, etc, so that when a local area needs to lockdown again, we'll be set up for it (emotionally and logistically). It may not have been strictly necessary for everyone for these two months, but it was nice to be largely in sync with the world for a short time.
When you say "[non-white/non-males] are presumed to be disadvantaged", have you talked to or listened to black or female academics? I follow ~4 black academics on twitter, and each of them have contributed to the #BlackintheIvory topic. Their identity plays a huge role in how others treat them.

> but not Asians for some reasons

Asian people are distinct because so many of them have immigrated recently, and immigration requirements favor educated and well-off folks. That masks many issues because they should have better than average outcomes due to better than average education and skills.

> you can bet your ass that the guy running the game, who probably supplied the dice and maybe even made them had a very good idea of how unfair they were.

I guess it depends on how good 'very good' is. We can be certain that gamblers did in fact misprice various things - after all, Pascal and much of the early work on probability theory was motivated by differences among gamblers about what payoffs were correct (eg 'the problem of the points'), and there are examples of very important things like lotteries or life insurance or annuities being mispriced (eg how Voltaire made his fortune).
I think you are talking about the Unified Transform tool in GIMP. It's been around for 6 years or so, but we only made it part of a stable release two years ago.
Thank you for pointing out this fantastic resource.

> mostly aimed at working scientists

My primary goals are to learn what (primarily) data-scientists do. In the sense of: How do they think and approach problems, what are the limitations and the prerequisites etc. (And as I said to improve my math skills.)

I think there is merit in engineers learning these things (within reasonable scope) because at some point there needs to be a system that provides and transforms data into a format that scientists/analysts can work with. And in the other hand there are things that engineers can implement and learn to improve their systems. I'm excited about both and curious about how far I can get.
For AI, data are harder to come by than you think
Consider the state and intent of a group of humanity as a spin glass, and you can apply a little bit of vaguely applicable analysis.

I've tried for most of my life to internalize that most of the difficulty in life is caused by different people having different viewpoints and goals and conditions. Any endeavour only works as well as the sum of its implementors.
That's true, a US-Mexican war in that era wasn't nearly as far-fetched as an invasion of Canada. A better example would have been War Plan Gold, which involved war with France

Ahh... so our learning system may find multiple models but without access to those higher energies we may have no way to know which is correct.

I still think it's an interesting thing to attempt and may suggest new experimental predictions. What if an alternative model makes a novel prediction that is testable?
So they suffer enough to want to burn themselves, but won’t because they fear being labeled crazy?

I feel that comparing the suffering of such an individual to the suffering of people who actually burned themselves to protest the oppression they experienced is insulting to the sacrifice of the later.

I agree with the sentiment of the protests in the USA, but there is no need to invent fictional martyrs who “could have been”.

I’m just saying when someone is learning, I really am looking for them to put the time in for a while.

Skills tend to increase in nonlinear jumps, so I’m not looking for a targeted increase. I’m looking for someone to discover what they are actually capable of which is often more than they anticipate.

A great way to get there is to immerse yourself.

GraphQL was developed by Facebook to be used in conjunction with their frontend GraphQL client library called Relay. Most people opt Apollo + Redux because they were more active early on in releasing open source, and people argue it is an easier learning curve. IMO Relay is a huge win for the frontend to deal with data dependencies; and is a much better design than Apollo + Redux.

GraphQL formalizes the contract between front and back end in a very readable and maintainable way, so they can evolve in parallel and reconcile changes in a predictable, structured place (the GraphQL schema and resolvers). And it allows the frontend, with Relay, to deal with data dependencies in a very elegant and performant way.
If they made actual requests that went through, a connection got established. That won't happen with a faked source.
