Also with sexuality. My worry is that with the American cultural imperialism through Hollywood our European liberal approach to sexuality will become more puritanical. E.g. sex only after 18, teenage sex is more or less illegal (19y/o with a 17y/o).

Friends of mine already think that American laws around sexuality are valid worldwide and sex with an under-18 is forbidden. Which is absolutely false in the case of Germany.
Probably not. The difference in vowel sounds, timing and intonation don't give it the same feel. It's pretty noticable when you hear Mandarin spoken because the word is usually spoken pretty quickly then the speaker trails off because they're thinking of what to say... Sometimes they say it two or three times on a row. So it really stands out.

Really love the game, i did have to install a respawn mod to get anywhere however.
Yeah but if you look at the code it doesn't really predict anything on trained data etc.

It's not really a neural network either.

It will always return the same output for the same input. There are no training datasets etc.

It's literally just an algorithm that returns an output and returns the next output based on the previous output.

I would have expected some dataset of colors to train a model on and then use that to generate values but there really is no actual AI.

People seem to confuse a clever algorithm with AI.

There's nothing inherently intelligent about what it does. It's all math.

I'm not sure if this solves your problem, because I'm still on a non-TB Mac, but you can use CMD + [first letter] to select dialog options. For example, if you're closing an app and are asked if you want to save an open file, the dialog might have "Yes" preselected, but also let you choose "Don't save". If you hit CMD + D it will choose the "Don't save" option. Same thing for something that might say "All files" you can hit CMD + A to select it.
Maybe not surprising biologically, considering the role of nutrition as a limiting factor on human (and most organisms) population. Say an ancient culture developed a lifestyle heavily fishing relient. If the resources (fish) were plentiful, it's not hard to imagine fish becoming a staple diet fast and subsequent adaptations to the nutritional pros and cons emerging within just a few generations.

OTOH, milk requires domestication of mammals. For milk to be a staple (as it is among many existing pastoralist cultures), processing and preservation techniques (yoghurt, cheese, etc) need to be developed. It's (IMO) a pretty complex assortment of dependant cultural and biological adaptations in both humans and animals.

Genetic evidence like this suggests that the adaptations spread fast. It also suggests a substantial role played by pastoralist cultures in neolithic and bronze age prehistory.

Neolithic history is tends to emphasize grain agriculture. These people left more artifacts. They left large settlements (eg Jericho) for us to dig up. They became urban "civilizations." Common, orthodox interpretation (eg the common marxist narrative) focuses on these a lot. Complex relationships between economics & social structure are inferred. etc.

Pastoralism gets a lot less attention. They left few artifacts, fewer settlements. They weren't urban, making them less interesting to most 19th and 20th century historians. Yet, we have lots of evidence that they were both many and significant.

Some of the earliest histories we have (Sumerian, 1st Dynasty Egyptian) suggests all sorts of contact, cultural exchange and conflict with large populations of pastoralists. Ancient historians attributed many innovations in weapons (eg chariots, compound bows) and other technological advancements (eg wheels) to pastoralist cultures.

While speculative, I'd also suggest that the earliest "nations" may have been pastoralists in the Yuval Noah Harari sense of the term. This also makes them the first civilizations in the same sense. They were also likely to have been innovators and originators of long distance trade and communication.

None of that is proved by the spread of lactose tolerance, but it does suggest that pastoralism was a very significant lifestyle in the lead up to pre classical cultures.
It's just a filler word even though it can be literally translated as "that one", as you said.

Finder is essential yet it's the biggest pain point I have with macOS.

- You've already mentioned a big one

- Related would be remembering which Finder window goes to which "desktop" or screen

- Another is no (permanent) custom width per folder or auto-sizing column view. Fixed width is either wasting space or not showing nearly enough. I always end up manually resizing the last/active column.

- They recently added shared iCloud folders as well. Guess what, you can't see any filenames in column view because they repeat "Added by {Owner}" for every single file/folder which takes way too much space. I guess an icon/avatar was too much. Heck, even that is questionable since we have a sidebar with all the metadata.

I don't know the technical aspect of it but they seem to have also locked down macOS which resulted in TotalFinder calling it quits. Not sure how viable it is for alternatives nowadays. I have no need for split/ftp Finder alternatives, just need a polished column view.
I guess the ship has sailed on academia resisting this nonsense
The whole karma thing is an odd one. I look at something like the social credit systems in China with some trepidation, as the power in the instrument is immense - but at the same time think the concept as a whole potentially has legs. Why not reward people for good behaviour? Be monetarily poor but of good reputation, xyz is open to you. Be rich and of poor reputation, then those same possibilities are closed.

I suppose the problem arises when you start trying to arbitrate good and bad, and who gets to be that arbiter. If you boil it away to purely a system for rewarding actions around financial credit, then you have... credit scores.
Phoenix is necessary for the success of Elixir absolutely. Because languages at this level of abstraction need a web framework to thrive.

I'm not sure I find Ecto and Phoenix as central to Elixirs value proposition in general. I'm looking a lot at Nerves (IoT) and Membrane (media serving). Having a strong web framework simplifies things and Phoenix is good there. But there are a lot of things to like about Elixir/Erlang/BEAM.

How do you navigate text in VSCode without arrow keys (and equivalents such as Pg Up/Dn, Home, End)

I’m not sure about the author, but I consider emacs essentially a modal editor. The vast majority of actions are preceded by a combination of modifier key presses, which is essentially modal, except you can’t (or can you?) keep it sticky.

So, for example, next line in Emacs is Ctrl+N whereas in Vim is Esc+J. The only difference in VIM is that you don’t need to hit ESC the next time want to go to the next line whereas Emacs reverts you to “insert” mode requiring you to press Ctrl again. But in both you can type out a number to allow you to jump 5 lines instead of just 1 with each key press.

Of course, those are only the in built modes. In many ways, emacs is even more modal than Vim, since there are so many packages that shift you into different custom modes With different behavior (e.g. org mode, magit, etc).
Seems like you're labouring under false pretenses then.

I just watched the video after reading the article, and the video -- if it's of the incident to which people were objecting -- wasn't as cringey as I expected it to be; however, I would've hoped that an expert who was lecturing about language and culture would've anticipated the problem, and been more sensitive to it.

Maybe, if he saw the problem, he could've prefaced the example with warning, or otherwise acknowledged the sensitivity. I didn't get a sense that the offense was intentional.

The article had a comment that suggested someone didn't see how the similar sounds were a problem.

One reason I would suspect it's a problem (which I heard in a TV show, in which a character explains how an anti-gay slur is hurtful to them), is that they grew up hearing that slur hurled in the context of other injustices, from childhood.

I can also imagine that insensitivity to how hurtful a slur is could feel like a signal that someone doesn't understand or care about the associated injustices.

This hurtful mistake could be a learning moment for the professor, and maybe he could then help a lot of other people to also learn something constructive from it, and help everyone move forward in understanding and helping each other.
Watching the video, I cannot fathom how anyone can interpret this as being a racial slur?

This is a common idiom in Chinese, people say it all the time.

I'm currently studying Danish and can't help but be amused when every 'lyt og gentag' exercise ends with 'slut'. But just as in the OP, it's not even the same vowel as the English word, so the resemblance is only passing. How absurd that careers may be ruined by using the wrong two consonants next to each other. How absurd that we call it progress.
The only way to solve that problem is to create risk for the spineless behavior.
In addition to the other great answer above, it sounds like a minor detail, but the shoes are fundamentally different too.

So much was made of Kipchoge's Vaporfly shoes and how little they weighed, and how much energy they returned during each step. Whereas trail shoes are much, much heavier, have little spring and are generally robust to protect the foot from stones and rocks.

Also, going for 10 hours with minimal food or drink is pretty unusual too. You'll see Kipchoge grabbing a specific drink from a feed station especially for him. Whereas Jornet... 'drinks from a stream if I need it'.

In Korean, the vowels ㅣ (ee sound) and ㅐ (eh sound) are different in the written language. There are actually more difficult things such as ㅐ and ㅔ (both "eh" sound) which can get confusing when trying to spell Korean words. In practice, I personally don't get confused differentiating between "nee-gah" and "ne-gah", but that may have been due to me having Korean parents and being used to that terminology since birth.

It's effective, for one. I was surprised how good it looks. Color matching is a lot harder than it seems when you're generating palettes.

"AI" may seem cheesy, but you have to remember that in the future, lots of "AI programming" is just going to become "programming." This is clearly an effective, simple way of solving the problem, and requires no clever or common algorithms.

Also, what the hell is this file? Haha. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmarman/dmarman.github.io/...

This is awesome. The model outputs were turned into a single line of javascript which then gets evaluated by multiplying the color against all the weights. That wasn't what I was expecting, and I'm totally stealing this technique.
It's especially bad that this gets pulled up on a lecture about filter words.

If you listen to any native Mandarin speakers for more than 5 minutes you'll likely hear this word.

> The legal concept of fiduciary responsibility, and actual de facto laws, legally compel the board of directors and executives of for-profit corporations to produce profit for their shareholders.

False. There are no laws that compel a company to produce profits for their shareholders. There is an economic _philosophy_ that argues that since the market economy is the bees knees, it follows that a company that has a higher profit is also 'better', but that does not make it a legal concept. [0]

Fiduciary responsibility in this case simply means that the directors should have the best interest of the company in mind. [1] In most cases shareholders want more money, so making more money is a natural result. But if there is a company whose single mission is to put a colony on Mars, then fiduciary responsibility compels the directors to only focus on that, even if such a colony would be less profitable than setting money on fire.

I had one of those as well, it was a great device! I finally traded it for a harddisk based MP3 player somewhere early 2000s, one of these: https://www.cnet.com/reviews/iriver-h120-20gb-review/

"I am deeply saddened by this disturbing episode that has caused such anguish and trauma."

We should be considering the implications of this claim, if it were true. There's a generation of young adults in this country that have been brought up so emotionally weak that they can be traumatized by a white person uttering sounds that resemble the n-word.

In other words, we have given white people unimaginable powers over the psyche of young minority Americans, because of an upbringing that shielded them from racially insensitive content.
