Telling people they can have a religion but they can't practice it is as laughabaly silly as telling them they have freedom of speech so long as they don't say undesirable things. The entire point of a religion is implementation and execution of beliefs as a practice, without that it's just belief or philosophy which I don't believe is protected specifically as you noted.

I think people who ride your train of thought just don't like religion and disagree with it being a fundamental right. To which I would vehementely disagree because most of the other important rights modern societies enjoy became a thing in a very religious time and religious reasoning was used (of course I have many more reasons as well). I think it boils down to what may seem like a false dichotomy but is very true -- you either take the route of regulating people's ability to live according to their belief or you don't.

Don't be surprised when this is used against you either. If you live in America or even some european countries (see poland and hungary) your irreligious practices become also regulated. If the state can regulate belief then it can for example force kids to pray at school or punish kids who pray at school. It took millenia of wars and conflict to finally decide, let's not tell other people how to believe and how to practice said belief. Let's not forget the past and even the present?

Here schools are complaining about completing the syllabus.
Majority of schools wont even have playgrounds.
Here schools are just a scam to enroll max student, with a promise to make them study forcibly 12 hours per day, without any extra curricular activities. If anything lockdowns and online classes gave some relief to the pressure they go thru, from those engineer/doctor factories.

Yes as long it does not use some kind of modules. But 99% of programs can already use pipewire via the shim.
Maybe it's not so difficult to translate. Fr Lawrence Farley [1] notes that 1) the word was used in other historical writings than the Bible and 2) that the closely related word `epiouse' is used in Acts 16:11 which reads "We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the next day, to Neapolis."

As with many things relating to the Bible or Christianity, it can be helpful to search for what the Orthodox church says about it.

Epic has appealed Friday’s ruling in the Epic vs. Apple case
Why not compare apples and apples? That is, because of covid, people were wearing masks, distancing, large crowds were outlawed, etc. So comparing covid stats of 2020 to flu stats of 2017-18 isn't too useful. Why not compare flu stats to covid stats in the same time window? Because of those massive, intrusive efforts to stop the spread of covid, flu numbers were/are way down. The number of flu deaths in the US in 2020 was something like ~700 (usually it is 30,000), and covid was ~400,000 deaths.

So, no, not 2x worse.
I would think so (that is to say a misspelling, not a typo as it wasn't typed), but on the other hand misspelling generally look like another word that fits in the context, but nobody seems to be suggesting a better word that looks like epiousios to put in its place.

Yes you can also get breakpoints and some interactive debugging with the VSCode plugins. But its just not even close to the full interactive debugging of e.g a fully supported lang in Jetbrains.

What if, you know, people can't adapt? What if people can't afford to replace their 40 years old aircrafts with sparkling new ones, costing 5-10 times much? Sure, some of them will, but there are many hobbyists who can afford loan payments and insurance on a plane worth $100k, but couldn't do the same on one worth $500k.

Yes, this would stop emissions of TEL, sure, but at tremendous cost. Is that cost worth it? To our (and FAA, and EPA) best knowledge, probably not, as lead emissions from GA have much different characteristic than the ones from cars.

Investor money allows that to happen. I sell an option on future gain for today cash. Basic investment. The fact that noone wants it tells us the problem is a lack of a financial product.
i had a moment of nostalgia flipping through this. i remember being shown how to do this integral (using the polar coordinates method) freshman year in undergrad by a theoretical physicist that dramatically overestimated my abilities lol ("just complete the square duh").

sorry don't have much substantive to say, other than that it's interesting you can have a feeling of nostalgia from something as abstract as this.
I don't think this is true either. I went to one of the pages, https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html, clicked "Sow org source" and it took me to https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.org.html, which does very nicely show the Org mode source code.
Then the question would be, a typo for what? Given that scholars have been studying this word for 1600 and coming up with various theories, if a typo was a plausible theory, they would have already thought of that.

Scholars do some pretty intense analysis of this stuff. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_75 about how differences between different scrolls are tracked.
As long as we are talking about how far you can go in one lifetime, how would human body react in a spaceship with that much mass? Wouldn't the gravity crush any humans to death. 10% of the sun's mass is more than 30,000 times earth's mass. Add to that the fact that the diameter is only 620 m, and the gravity becomes 1.4e13 g.
Different code bases and teams usually just end up with a bespoke debugger, there are multiple available. There’s the default debugger, byebug, pry debug and I believe Rubymine uses one called debase, under the hood.

You can use whichever you want but usually one will be specified in your project Gemfile because someone on the team likes that particular debugger and added it long ago.

Yes exactly. The beautiful thing is, you can install a well designed phoenix app on some bare Metal servers and you will have the features of half of GCP.

It's not great, but every irc client I used is dramatically worse.

Vs code is a good editor. Not exceptional, but good.

I'd also argue that the need to feel "integrated in the o. s." is actually relevant only for a small subset of apps, anything that's used full screen doesn't need any of that and it's better served by creating its own "mini universe"

So now you see how it wasn't an argument? You have to guess at what their actual argument! So they expect me to guess and construct an argument for them, and then refute it? Rubbish.

> Because you were stating that no one should receive special benefits because of their religion, one must
question how weekends could come about in such a system,

Why must one question that? My argument was not "religion is responsible for nothing that I personally like or agree with". So this is just a bad strawman.

> considering they likely started as a religious observance.

If we were to change topic completely and argue about the origin of 5 day working week and other workplace health and safety reforms, I really don't know enough of the history of it. I have no problems acknowledging and being thankful for good things that religion has brought (if religion was responsible for the weekend, great that people had the sense to take my position on the matter and not restrict the weekend to religious people). However I would be slightly curious why it happened to come about right around the time of rising power of the labor movement in the west, and not any other time in the several millennia of these religions before then. Maybe just a coincidence. But either way I don't really care, I like weekends and I don't want them restricted to people with particular beliefs, so that's +1 for my argument.
Egads, when they put it that way… I am convinced!

A good old scythe is much faster than a weed whacker for larger areas. Once you get the hang of it, it's not much slower than a lawn mower. It's good excersize too.
Actually I am fine with the super rich, they create special dynamics due to creating societies that don’t need any more money and their ego is driven completely differently. Usually the first generation sucks but later on you have “old money” and they tend to be respected and productive.

I think the harmful inequality in a population comes only at the first few steps of the Maslow’s pyramid, i.e. access to food and shelter.

There’s a day and night difference between the life’s of people who were given a house as a young adult and those who were not.

The difference of life quality of a person who has a fully paid property and a person who is super rich is not that much. The super rich one has more power, of course, but both of them will not feel the pressure to do the things that they don’t want to do. They both would have higher aspirations for stuff they want to do but don’t have means to do - just on different levels.
The barebones website doesn't discuss _anything_ about which data processors might end up with the ability to connect your IP (or even better markers) with access patterns to that API. The service didn't actively hide Cloudflare but it also didn't document it. I wouldn't know how many other services are in use right now that I didn't stumble over, or how many there will be at any time.

For a service that (if actually useful, which this isn't, so I expect it to flounder and therefore not do any actual harm) could be dangerous to use in some regions of the world, that seems reckless, as if "uhoh, this could be dangerous" was never even a consideration.
Not just an off switch, a kill switch. Anything that can reproduce only needs a software modification to change the structure of its hardware on the next generation.
If a self reproducing machine's fitness is measured only by real world conditions, and if its software is free to mutate, it will become the dominant microscopic life form very quickly. At that point maybe only an EMP would wipe it out, if it were possible to wipe it out at all. If not, so long carbon based life.

Yes, the magnitude of something's 4-velocity vector is always c^2 (set it to 1 in your unit system) by definition. It's not as simple as a R^n vector because you have a time coordinate of opposite sign and you switch coordinate systems by Lorentz transformation, but it's the right intuition. (It's complicated further in the presence of gravity, where you need an enriched differential geometry notion of a velocity vector since the spacetime is curved.)

What about FPGA's it's a chip capable of decoding any data sent across a network and correcting errors! /s I guess the clever part here with this algorithm is that it tries to figure error correction automatically instead of having to have someone make a design like on a fpga.

> Handbrakes do not always break rear wheels for one, some cars have front parking breaks.

Which one specifically? I've never encountered one and a brief web search didn't find any. I'm sure it can exist, but seems exceedingly rare at best.

I mean this in the most encouraging way possible: your comments (this and previous) suggest you have zero experience with car control. I greatly encourage you to find and participate in a few car control clinics to see how cars actually behave on the edge of adhesion and beyond. It's a great learning experience and also just fun. Most importantly, if you ever do hit ice/oil/etc, it might just save you from a crash.

> People can just kill themselves on orders from government in Denmark?

No need to be silly. Surely these tests are done in a suitable location, and there's zero risk from a bit of a slide or spin. Again, something you could experience and learn in a car control class so it stops becoming scary.

Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial

Conclusion: Parachute use did not reduce death or major traumatic injury when jumping from aircraft in the first randomized evaluation of this intervention. However, the trial was only able to enroll participants on small stationary aircraft on the ground, suggesting cautious extrapolation to high altitude jumps. When beliefs regarding the effectiveness of an intervention exist in the community, randomized trials might selectively enroll individuals with a lower perceived likelihood of benefit, thus diminishing the applicability of the results to clinical practice.

It doesn't have to be perfect, sure, but it would have to be a lot better to be "a new foundation for AI"—exactly what the article (and presumably this discussion) is about.
Just increase the numbers on the paychecks and the current bad teachers would all go away and be replaced by different, better teachers? Somehow, I doubt that.
I think the conclusion of the article really says it all.

it is unwise to assume that these techniques will suffice for AI in general. It may be an effective short-term research strategy to focus on the immediate challenges that seem to be surmountable, but focusing on the surmountable may not get us to what is most necessary: a firm foundation for reliably integrating statistics and machine learning with reasoning, knowledge, common sense and human values.

We tried that for ~50 years. It seemed to make progress for a little while, then stopped dead for decades. Now we're trying something else, and it's progressing incredibly fast. Maybe huge models with expensive training aren't the right approach to AI, but it's certainly the best candidate and continues to be incredibly fruitful. A few cherry-picked bad examples from an early prototype aren't a good reason to jump off the rocket ship.

I think the sibling commenter that mentions that they may just want to get rid of support requests is close to truth. I think Remarkable did actually make some design decisions that don't allow to just use USB keyboard (you actually need some aftermarket cable if you want to hack it together). No idea why (once you get the cable the keyboard apparently works).

That's exactly the point, though. The converse is also presented without evidence. We have no evidence that human cognition and GPT-3 cognition are distinct in some fundamental way.
