It's not a simple question, that's not the point.

I happen to be Orthodox, and having lived in Russia I can say that the answer varies depending on context. Most of the time Europe is the "other". European standard means high quality, "My brother works in Europe", a "European car" etc. Even when contrasting Russia with very exotic cultures most people wouldn't see Russia as part of Europe, they just say "Japan is different from Russia", not "from Europe". And I'm not sure it's a very meaningful question either.

What is clear is that there are very few cases where people would consider Kazan European. I haven't been there, but I highly doubt they feel very European, in any sense. And there are exactly 0 cases where anyone ever would find it _representative_ of "Europe", and that is what we are discussing here.

It simply doesn't make sense to say "There are Muslims in Kazan and that is technically Europe so anyone objecting to Arab Muslims in Munich is wrong". That's just a silly argument.

I've also lived in Jordan and I can tell you that Muslims there don't feel any particular connection with those in Kazan. Circassians may perhaps feel differently, I don't know.
Creating an anti-white narrative is an important part of very-far-left advocates, which is why the term POC (Person of Color) was created. ...to ensure that minorities that are not black are supportive of movements like BLM.

Reinforcing a narrative of white-supremacy is a key part of that strategy.
Thats a subjective question.

The solution is to break up big tech.

Amazon shouldn't be ten companies in one.

Google shouldn't be able to set web and mobile standards, then reap ad monies by forcing everyone to accept their anticompetitive changes.

Apple shouldn't be the sole guardian of iPlatform. You can't have a protection racket on 50% of all commerce (phones >> gaming consoles) and enforce what gets put on the device.

These companies don't have moats the size of an ocean. They have moats the size of a Schwarzschild radius, and they're sucking up everything in their path. Google, in particular, is being lazy as fuck because they don't have to actually do anything anymore.

Microsoft is literally the only tech giant behaving correctly, and it's probably because they got slapped with antitrust in the 2000s.

Competition is supposed to be good for the economy. These companies should have to try harder. The minute they no longer face existential risks, they become destructive.
She’s certainly the character that I think they got the most wrong. Besides the general mannerisms, the fact that she’s all for torture and misc other shitty behavior feels completely off to me.

Glad to see that the Epic/Apple war hasn't boiled over to this.

From the website:

"What platforms does UE5 Early Access support?"

"Unreal Engine 5 Early Access broadly supports the same platforms as UE4—next‑generation consoles, current‐generation consoles, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android..."
1) That sweet sweet feeling of feeling different. I've come to accept that part of the reason I use linux and vim is I derive some satisfaction from being "hipster". But not enough to say, use gentoo :)

2) Simplicity. Even with all my vim plugins, I never have issues with "IDE hogging all my ram" or "intellij crashes when loading a working set including this commit" (it worked for me...).

3) Ease of access. When remoting into my boxes, I can just tmux attach and continue editing where I left off, even on a shitty connection (using mosh). Very useful on train/conference wifi.

In the spirit of your first clause, these are personal reasons that work for me. I have not listed the cons, of which there are many, and don't expect my reasons to apply universally.
I like to think of this as the "ultimate JIT compiler": when we start executing a program, we run an optimiser in parallel. Hence the longer the program takes, the longer we spend optimising it; this focuses our optimisation efforts, similar to how JITs only kick in after functions have been called a certain number of times.

The main difference between Hutter's algorithm and a JIT compiler is that JITs operate locally on small pieces of a program, like functions; whilst Hutter's optimisation is global. This causes an interesting problem: how do we switch to the optimised version? JITs don't bother switching calls which are already running; they just send any future calls to the optimised version. Whole-program optimisers can't do that, since there's nothing left to execute once the whole-program has finished. Exponential-restarting is an interesting hack to avoid this, but seems like a last-resort compared to local improvements.

I think it would be an interesting project to build an interpreter which works like Hutter Search, but allowing local improvements more like a normal JIT as well. It could keep track of a fixed number of search states (based on some longest-running/recently-used heuristic) to avoid having to always restart from scratch.

My guess is it would be pretty slow for "straightforward" tasks (assuming we don't bother to do much "manual" optimisation); long-running tasks with lots of iteration would see gradual speedups (as simple optimisations are found for their hottest loops); whilst a few very hard tasks, left running for a long time, may finish unexpectedly (when the optimiser stumbles across a much faster approach).
Man, does that thing bring back memories. I did my PhD in computer graphics (though I no longer work in that field) -- I've written several papers and read more than I can count. That bunny is iconic and still shows up in some absurd number, although it's considered a trivially simple model now. Even so, it can find ways to bite you; there are holes in the base can cause problems with some algorithms (sure you can find watertight versions... but that's cheating ;)

Fun times.
One of the most unrealistic things about depictions of futuristic computer systems and UI design is that they almost always do exactly what the character wants with a minimum of hassle. No, technology in the future is going to cause as many problems and as much frustration as it does today. And those problems will be more keenly felt, because in space, your life depends on the technology working properly. There should be episodes where, for example, the main challenge and risk doesn't come from aliens or hostile humans, but from the fact that the OS running the ship's engines crashes and needs to be restarted every 5 minutes.

For cancer, there's other research. Google Michael Levin and his morphogenesis research. In short: when an organism grows, it needs to store the intermediate state of its growth somewhere (in the same sense that you have a counter and an end condition in a for loop), and cells need to communicate somehow to coordinate their division and specialization. That somewhere is in electrical potentials between cells. He came to a (sensible) conclusion that cancer occurs when a bunch of cells falls out of this network. And indeed, he was able to induce a tumor in a tadpole, and then make it go away by "plugging" these cells back into the network. It's really fascinating and a bit creepy.
That's an insane price, and hopefully you can shop around or change packages.

Your explanation only makes things more confusing. So if you try to join #foo you are redirected to ##foo which is invitation only, which just means you fail to join? Why not just make #foo invitation only instead? And why are there still people in #foo? Why not kick them?

Having 6 previous coronaviruses allows you to construct a prior with mean and variance. Gaussian distributions assume the least about a distribution. I'm not sure why you are so against using information/bits that we already know to be true in trying to make predictions about SARS-CoV-2. Humans do bayesian reasoning all the time, albeit in a much less formal fashion. There is no cargo culting here.
The fanbase for these games can’t be large anymore. Sadly. My impression back then was that the new UT would have always been hobby project for Epic. At best a marketing vehicle for the engine. They never committed a full team, a lot of weapon design was outsourced to the community. So I don’t think it “didn’t work out” in any way that they hadn’t already anticipated. It’s probably just that when they hit the jackpot with Fortnite, it was hard to justify such a niche project.

Thanks for asking : So, first with scikit learn, it doesn't work on spark and other distributed frameworks. It's also a bit slower, doesn't provide gpu support for fast inference, can't support larger datasets easily, and runs fewer models than our tool.

The AllVision platform and dev tools tests and runs 10+ unsupervised models at once, so we automate the work needed to find the best model for your dataset. Under the hood, we redesigned many of those unsupervised models so they run significantly faster, so teams can optimize hyperparameters very quickly (hours instead of days), and we're building it on a series of API's so it's more easily deployed within a large scale system.
> I loved Star Trek as a kid

I'm not sure that this is true. I think you might be confusing the Action and Adventure genres with Sci-Fi. Star Trek, for example, is almost 100% social commentary.

Sending a signal, even a weak one, that certain behavior is not acceptable is a perfectly valid reason.
This is one of the biggest strengths of Vim imho. Defining new keybindings is so intuitive and flexible you wonder why it's usually done differently.

With Vim you basically just tell it to map any sequence of inputs to any other sequence of inputs. If you know how to do something in Vim you can define a keybinding for it. And because Vim is 100% controllable via the keyboard you can bind anything to a shortcut.
If I own the arcade I can authenticate tokens in amortized constant time with a centralized ledger. It's also private so I don't leak details of my tokens to anyone, including my customers and competitors.

If I have a decentralized ledger I can authenticate tokens in (at least) linear time with the total number of tokens I have ever distributed. The ledger is also public so competing arcades know intimate details of my business. In some cases they might even know which games are most popular. My customers will also know the relative scarcity of tokens and how much they should be valued, potentially limiting my profits.

Why should I use a decentralized ledger for my arcade?
It's encouraging to see some reason right there. I figured portions of the population would find, sense, and think of all sort of post diagnosis symptoms that simply aren't related to an infection.
Given the talent media have shown on scaring everyone, it wouldn't surprise me that some people catch a flu-like disease simply out of stress, fear, and paranoïa. All it takes is a weaken immune system for a random bug to cause the well known common consequences, now systematically blamed on the craze virus. Fever, nausea, soar throat, difficulties to breath perhaps, probably diarrhea.

What if the "cases" of infection were in fact, for the most part, patients impacted by random bug, directly caused due to their heigher than usual stress levels, due to totally virtual fears. Diagnosed as such because of the constant obsession to identify hosts.

I do wonder how often "confirmed" cases are taken a blood test sent to a lab among other non infectious blood samples for actual confirmation of the virus presense.

The entirety of the "fold" on my screen is an absurdly giant and seemingly irrelevant image, overlaid with the text "Tune your PID", "It has never been easier", and two buttons.

As I scroll down, the next thing my eyes catch is some mathematical nonsense, which tells me exactly nothing other than that this is a complex thing that is surely entirely over my head.

To people that know what a "PID controller" is, it's probably informative. I came in assuming that there was some sort of controller for OS program PIDs and was unable to grasp the context at all.

in general imo one shouldn’t make comparisons to:

1. nazis/holocaust
2. slavery

etc…

as it devalues the actual event you’re comparing it to. i get that it’s just meant to make a point but even over using the comparison in everyday speech devalues it

it’s fine talking about those issues in general.
I’m pretty sure that the primary reason we don’t have more VIM plugins, despite many more emacs users, is vimscript being terrible.

If vim had a more usable scripting language it would have easily surpassed emacs in plugins and more importantly, since plugins would have been more popular, vim would have been developed in a way to make it more extensible and nvim wouldn’t even be needed.

No galaxy brain here ;)

I generally don't use counts. If I want to go down a few lines, I don't count the number of lines and use 4j or whatever, I instead use / to search for the exact place I want to move to. This feels more natural and preserves the jump-list, so I can ctrl-o back to where I was.

Same if I want to delete a few words. I don't count how many I want to delete and do 4daw, instead I do daw and press . until I've deleted everything I want gone.

And I make heavy use of text objects when available. If I want to move to the next function, I use the keybinding for that instead of searching or counting lines.
> It's a roll of the dice.

So is getting the vaccine. It is a risk-reward calculation with many unknowns.

The following must be kept in mind: For the younger population, there a strong incentive to exaggerate the risk of the virus and to downplay the risk of the vaccine, in order to maximize vaccinations and (hopefully) minimize overall mortality. I must assume that public health authorities act in the collective interest, not mine.

Personally, I am unwilling to sacrifice myself for the "greater good", even if it's a really small risk. My individual risk of contracting COVID must exceed the individual risk of taking the vaccine. As long as that remains in question, I will remain hesitant.

Interesting comparing the answers here that are for a "looks-like" vs a "works-like" prototype, ref: https://predictabledesigns.com/the-essential-guide-to-protot...

Having no experience in gamedev, I could imagine that as in other fields these milestones are a bit orthogonal. You need a works-like prototype for internal use to confirm the basic questions like "is it fun" before committing to polish, and you need that vertical slice looks-like prototype to do demos, make a sizzle reel for Kickstarter, convince investors, etc.

The excellent NoClip doc on Horizon Zero Dawn talks about them actually making a handful of prototypes that explored various aspects of the game's mechanics (combat, traversal, etc) and then having to figure out how to integrate those concepts into a single entity. There are a few clips at https://youtu.be/h9tLcD1r-6w?t=1186 that show a very early demo of the Thunderjaw concept, with the destroyable parts just as big colored boxes.

On the other side of things, it's wild when you look at a game like Hollow Knight: Silksong, for which there was a reveal trailer over two years ago that showed seemingly dozens of fully finished environments, enemy encounters, etc— but in terms of the overall stage of the project, it must have been in alpha or pre-alpha at that point (unless it's encountered some significant unforeseen development barriers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFAknD_9U7c

Due to their size and reach, the oil giants have massive political clout. A major reason we do not have carbon taxes yet is because of their ability to lobby (bribe) politicians across the globe. These lawsuits matter because they hinder the companies ability to wield influence. Every dollar they spend on lawsuits and settlements is one less dollar they can spend on lobbyists, climate denial "research", etc...

Additionally, these lawsuits raise the cost of being in the oil business compared to renewables. So the "new actor" is much more likely to be a renewable company, simply due to the fact that investors do not like regulatory uncertainty.

It is worth mentioning that the oil industry is now in support of a carbon tax. On paper, this sounds good. But what really is going on is that they realize that the writing is on the wall and that after decades of opposing a carbon tax, their best chance of survival moving forward is to try to move the conversation away from regulations and towards "free market solutions". But this is cynical for a few reasons, the primary one being that it is much easier to convince a future Republican administration to retroactively lower the carbon tax (under the guise of "job creation" or some other nonsense) than it would be to repeal strict environmental regulations. And the other primary reason is that a carbon tax essentially "kicks the can down the road", i.e. it doesn't actually solve climate change or prevent the fossil fuel industry from continuing to do business as usual. It just makes the price of fossil fuel based products a little higher. Where as a regulatory approach would likely significantly hinder the companies ability to operate and likely significantly reduce the size and scope of the fossil fuel market

This is important, because in the next few years we are likely going to see the oil companies try to get a "seat at the negotiating table" so to speak. So these lawsuits are important because it puts these companies on the defensive, and potentially cuts them off at the knees, hindering their ability to water down future climate change legislation.
