Yeah, glad there were examples, saved me trying it. Results are nowhere close to what I expected. Zero of them looked like anime at all, for one thing. Many truly did look like one or two basic Photoshop filters had been applied, and that was it.
Smaller with fewer people sharing a common space and better amenities. The differences between the two designs are vast. Also a lot of people complain about the lack of windows in the rooms but give it a positive review because of amenities. I've talked more about the differences in other comments I won't rehash.

NFT's are a crap solution to a very important problem that needs solving.

The "shares" idea is a MUCH BETTER ONE; i.e. flip the model. Make giving money to artists a collective and inclusive thing that we can all participate in and reap the benefits of multiple works, as opposed to the silliness of fake exclusivity over individual works.
Did same before. Now I generate emails with 33mail.com
Does the app keep any data after generating the image?
To be honest, it looks pretty weird... the eyes are asymmetrical..

The Snap filter that does something similar to this looks much better, is live, and doesn't use a ton of deep learning I think :)

The plus sign thing works with other email providers and servers. I used to use it with self-hosted postfix and I know it's possible with exim as well. I think exchange can do it as well. I would assume that any sophisticated spammer would try removing plus sign suffixes from harvested emails.

You are correct.

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of hedge funds either. But in this specific case, I'd rather take their advice. In my opinion, for this specific case --discussing inflation trends--, I don't see a lot of room for hedge funds to be partisan? No new legislation, no wrinkles in the system, etc. And they may be wrong, and Krugman may be right after all. Economics, especially Macroeconomics forecasting analysis, should be treated with some reservation. I just find the particular post quite convincing given what I've observed in the last few months.
English does not lack this distinction.

Well this could be an endless discussion, but in my opinion all legislations that moves society towards socialism is fundamentally evil. I'm sure there are more specific examples to find, but to me, that overarching principle suffices.

People are used to the leftist way of thinking about "us vs them" and automatically think of corporations and "employers" as evil oppressors.

I think the other way round. I think "workers" are just a social construct, and being able to start your own business is the very means to achieve freedom. So regulations destroying businesses are enemies of freedom and hence evil.

For example my motivation to run my own business may be that I want to work the way I want. Now regulators perhaps give unions the right to determine how I am supposed to work. That's completely fucked up.

The correct response to bad working conditions is for employees to quit and change jobs. If no good jobs exist, they should start their own business. People who crave socialist structures are free to start businesses with socialist structures.

The correct way for governments to help out workers is therefore to facility opportunity and thriving economy that leads to more companies and hence more alternatives for being employed.

Most legislation does the opposite of that.

(another simple example: here in Europe we have to senselessly click on cookie banners thousands of times, because of a misguided regulation on cookies. Wasting people's energy like that is also evil. Worse, we will soon have upload filters, destroying freedom of speech for good, as "indie publishers" won't be able to afford the required infrastructure and legal teams).

Oh I see.

I think there are several use cases people associate with NFT. One is money laundering and that is indeed hard as you mention.

The other is payment for illegal services and goods. I can't wire you money for "one assassination" but I can wire you money for "art" because who knows how much it's really worth.
> When I see poorly substantiated claims, it shouldn't, but it really drags the whole rest of the argument down.

It should. If someone is willing to make wild, unsubstantiated, claims, it should detract from their credibility.
And you can perfectly evaluate that by setting a realistic (!) time limit and judging the quality of the answers. It's absolutely irrelevant how much recollection you have if you still manage to solve the problem efficiently.
Google is by far the worst cloud provider when it comes to IPv6 support. They only support IPv6 on VPC networks in asia-east1, asia-south1, europe-west2, and us-west2, you cannot access the metadata service over IPv6, and IPv6 on load balances just left Alpha last year I believe.

I love the dorm design personally and I think its only sin is the lack of windows. If each room had windows I think this design — giving students both privacy and social spaces — would be considered a step forward.

> People are so functionally blind they can’t even imagine any other way. Surely, you must have cars.

At this point, depending where you live, you must have cars. I lived in the big Texas cities, and outside of a few places close to the city centers, it's literally impossible to live without a car. The cities are designed around cars, and unless we tear them up and rebuild them from the ground up, you simply must have a car.
Simply because Rails is not designed to solve frontend problem where complex user interactions and client side state are included, not to mention partial rendering and transition. Rails is a backend framework after all, spitting a HTML is all it can do in terms of a frontend part. Just don’t know why you think you can solve all the modern frontend user interaction with a backend framework like rails and Django,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
> Of course most "paleo" nutritionists are scammers pushing cookbooks and dubious nutritional supplements.

Im calling out this accusation as fake and unsubstantiated.
> * sum types (would be really nice)

That seems really difficult to retrofit, and to not really fit the language either.

I've been thinking something like sealed interfaces would fit better: Go already has fallible downcasts (and RTTI which takes the role of discriminant), and type switches can play the role of your `case` statement:

func do[T any](i option[T]) {
switch v := i.(type) {
case T:
fmt.Printf("Got a %v", v)
case nothing: // or `nil` could be a (pseudo)-type
fmt.Printf("was empty!")
// no default necessary because the check is complete
}
}

The only pieces missing are a way to "seal in" a set of types, and add completeness check to type switches for those.
I wish vendoring in deps and/or monorepos were better-supported. That's the only thing that gives me pause with Go. Everything else about it is great from a "can this easily be built a couple years from now, if it's not been touched in the meantime?" perspective, but the defaults there strongly favor future breakage and last I checked make it a huge pain to take measures to avoid that problem, which is weird.

[EDIT] oh, they added a command for that, "go mod vendor", I guess, and I just missed it somehow. Nice.

You don't actually have to be in conditions of siege or famine for them to be stressful. They merely have to be a threat. And what would a common person (i.e. peasant) have been able to do about that threat?

If your village is raided and you escape harm (quite the assumption), why would you generally return to "baseline"? What if the raiders took all your food and you can't feed your family? What if your family was murdered or raped? What if your village was destroyed and you're now a vagrant?

> This is why VSCode is winning, because it embraces modern languages in a really powerful way.

This notion that Javascript is superior to (e.g. elisp) because JS is new and elisp is "old" is really irritating. The reasons JS exists has absolutely zero to do with any issues with elisp or lisp or C or haskell or any other programming language. The fact that you know it and do not know elisp is a real thing, but it says nothing about the qualities and properties of either language.
I think this common argument underrates the extent to which core factual mastery informs your ability to perform analysis and to synthesize arguments. For example, if given the exam question “Discuss the role of demagoguery in Athenian democratic politics in the Peloponnesian War.” and you need to look up whether the Sicilian Expedition happened before or after the death of Pericles, then you probably don’t really understand the role of Athenian political dysfunction during the war either.
When they break even worse when you have black skin, it certainly sounds like a civil rights violation.
Have there been any efforts to make forums INTEROPERATE with each other? A big advantage of Reddit or FB is that it's consistent and works well with another subreddit etc. Oldschool online forums can only link to outside posts, but there's no trivial feature to quote a post from another forum for example. You can do something like "quote='I edited this field manually'"

Great article. Read through some of the other articles as well - some high quality content there!
Higher level languages such as C++ have extremely complex binary interfaces. Only C++ code dares to link against C++ code. Even then there are problems between different compilers and even different versions of the same compiler. New standard version comes out, it requires that standard classes have certain performance characteristics... Suddenly compilers are breaking binary compatibility in order to restablish conformance.

So in order to have usable libraries people will wrap their C++ implementation in C interfaces. Rust faces the same problem. All those nice abstractions result in a complex ABI that will never touched by anything outside the Rust ecosystem. There is no escaping the extern "C".

Some languages are virtualized. Java, C#, Ruby, Python, Javascript all have virtual machines. There's no way to interface directly with code running in those languages. We must interface with the virtual machine instead: import it into our process and ask it to call the functions we want to use.

C binary interfaces are not language agnostic but they are quite simple. The result of compiling a C library is symbols pointing to functions with simple calling conventions. As a result, virtually any language can look up these symbols and call them.
No. If there were these companies have so much money they could build a massive university in every state just for themselves and lose very little money. They don't, because they don't have to. Unfilled positions are "nice to have's", not a requirement of their work. They will not lose money over that position not being filled, not to the amount they believe matters.

Therefore, the wheel keeps on turning.

It's nice, but missing the most valuable (and simplest) take from computer vision: the Hough transforms.

Let's take the circle Hough transform as it's one of the most enlightening ones!

Say you are looking for a circle of a given diameter. After a binarization to make the edge stand out, make all the potential points "vote" for a circle center.

The method is simple: using a matrix, you +1 all the points that are as far from this point as the radius of the circle will allow.

Do this for every point, and take the max: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_Hough_Transform

Simple, and works in guaranteed time.

Extension 1: if you don't know the radius, apply iteratively for a range of values, then again, take the max: if you imagine how it works (or code it as an example then animate the result), it's like doing a "mathematical" focus.

Extension 2: if it's too costly to do a dense exploration of the space of values for the radius, while you know there's only one circle, do a gradient descent on the increase.

Extension 3: If there are more that one circle, other techniques exist - the easiest to picture are based on the maximization of variance of the distribution of values in the matrix resulting from the binarization, but you can also use 2d lattices and other fun tricks.
that to me is just patreon or something. Like sell me a postcard or a print or a book. I can get into that.

the NFT thing is fine, but I just don't think it hits the same as wandering around a friends house and seeing a cool painting on the wall. You having a NFT with a link to an image that's hosted on some site that's in some kind of NFT wallet or on your personal website just doesn't have the same effect.

Not sure why some NFT prices are so high, maybe some people are just very rich and are having fun.
Exactly! All the counter arguments of "but I can already do that with a database" and "why would any developer want to maintain such a clunky system" miss all the avenues NFT's unlock for gaming for those developer who DONT wall off thier gardens and DONT screw up their own in-game assets by nerfing interpretation, causing their value to drop and the eyeballs to get angry and move on.
It's not the same thing as school monitoring but I imagine that many tech companies with offerings to youths are going to start pushing the responsibility of safety and liability to the parents, such as by giving parents control of chat accounts.

All of my B.Sc. Applied Physics exams including the finals were open note (anything in your own hand plus any duplicated sheets handed out in lectures). My finals were in 1977, Exeter Uni.

There was no limit on how many notes one brought in to an exam. Some of the weaker students turned up with rucksacks full of ring binders and the invigilators had frequently to admonish them to make less noise rustling the papers! Those students almost all failed or attained only a pass degree.

In my opinion this successfully weeded out those who thought that memorisation was enough. The exams typically never asked anything that could be answered simply by looking up the answer in notes or even the textbook.
