> Until your moral claims can said to be true, then my rights could contradict yours, and it might not be reconcilable. Here someone smarter than me might even consider that the job of government is to reconcile the infinite, inconsistent beliefs, and to give some basis of "rights."

The moral claims I make are innately true to all individuals. You can pretend that government has the right to do that which you cannot do to another individual, but you would be wrong.

You can do what you like as long as you are not harming another.

A collection of people do not/cannot have greater rights than an individual. An individual cannot grant another a right eg to privacy. An individual can respect anothers right to privacy. Or he can disrespect that privacy. If he does disrespect that right, that individual has done a wrong.

This same method applies to groups. If 10 people decide to disrespect an individual's privacy, this is still a wrong. There is no number, no implied convention that can make disrespecting privacy the right thing!
Everything You Have to Know About Image Denoising
Image denoising refers to the process of removing noises from an image. Different kinds of noises require carrying methods to remove the noises. There are a variety of image denoising techniques include nonlinear and linear filtration.

Linear filtration is a process wherein the filter coefficients are constant across an image. In this scenario you will see the same set filter coefficients are applied to each pixel of the image. In contrast nonlinear filtering takes into account the noise variance (standard deviation) and applies the filtering.

Image denoising is a type of image that can be used

Image denoising can be used for a myriad of purposes in different fields of engineering and science. Let's look at a few examples of these that require noise reduction when one wants to enhance the signal-to-noise quality of an image. Noise reduction can be carried out at the pixel or image level. When it's done at the pixel level, individual noisy pixels are replaced with the filter version of that individual pixel. That results in better quality image resolution. Here are some examples of the use of image denoising. It includes;

1. Improves image quality

2. Enhances the contrast of an image by eliminating small variations in brightness generated by the noise.

3. Extracts valuable information in an image through decreasing the noise.

4. Enhances the readability of an image by removing unwanted visual elements such as fingerprints, dust specks and scratches.

5. Reduces eye strain for the human observer by blurring out any details that aren't necessary for good vision.

6. Enhances the performance of automated patterns recognition software by the reduction of local variations in lighting.

7. Enhances the quality of radiographic images by eliminating the harmful effects of the current fluctuations of x-ray tubes and scatter within the object of examination.

Things to be aware of prior to making a denoising image?

Naturally, we should know the kinds of sounds that can be found in an image before removing them. It is possible to make an educated assumption based on our understanding of the app in which the image will be used. For instance, suppose that we have a photo of a coin and we know that the image's background is uniformly gray. In this scenario, we expect most of the noise to result from variations in the values of pixel pixels caused by flaws in the conversion process of x-rays. Let's look at another example. Let's say the image is of a document, and we wish to minimize the amount of noise to ensure that it doesn't hinder our ability to understand the document. In this scenario we could make an intelligent guess by considering that the majority of the noise is in the image since dot matrix printers have produced the file.
I used to work for an ISV in the finance industry. Most of our customers ran our stuff on their own servers in their own data centres, but we had direct logon to the application user account to manage the application config, do software upgrades, investigate issues, etc. A few of our customers preferred to support the software entirely themselves, we had no access and ran training courses for their support teams. I wouldn't be surprised if NSO offer a similar range of options depending on the client's budget and technical capabilities.
There are not enough range anxious people to continue to keep ICE manufacturers going. It's more a question of when production stops rather than if. There are a few holdouts of course that might last until they actually get banned on most roads. But for most manufacturers that is going to be a lot sooner than they are hoping right now.

That will no doubt upset some ICE vehicle owners with enough disposable income that they could feasibly be targeted with a lucrative product that appeals to them. Good news is that cars with 600 miles and 10 minute recharge to 300 mile (50%) are totally feasible!

E.g. the hummer that GM is rumored to be working on will apparently have 200kwh. Of course it has the weight of a Tank and the aerodynamics of barn door, so it might not be enough to get to 600 miles.

If Tesla ever puts that kind of battery in a Tesla it would probably end up with close to 1000 mile range and they would need to make it a bit bigger. That's 20 hours non stop driving at 50 miles an hour. Absolutely nobody should be doing that. But you could build a car that does that. That's a about 3x what they currently put in a model 3 (75kwh). It will be a bit heavier of course so maybe not 3x the range. But you get my point. Solvable problem for people with money.

For the rest of us normal people, take a break & plug in, go to the bathroom, eat some lunch, stretch your legs, relax, etc. After the 300+ miles that you can get with a few decent EVs that's probably a good idea. It's not the end of the world.
The actuarial sciences, engineering, anaesthesiology, etc. Is this even a serious question?
The "real" format being binary with debugging tools is absolutely the best way to go. For example, you can use `nio print` (or even just `nio p`) in the Nim multi-program https://github.com/c-blake/nio to get "text debugging output" of binary files.

You said "at the end of the day your body still runs on glucose" which is NOT true on a ketogenic diet, as a mere 25 grams are manufactured by the liver as needed for (apparently) red blood cells.

Yes, I agree that ketogenic dieters still have glucose, obviously, my point was about CHRONICALLY ELEVATED glucose being deleterious for blood vessel health, which is widely known and, again, cause of the necrosis seen in late-stage diabetes.

I know of at least one T1 diabetic that is OFF INSULIN on a ketogenic (carnivore) diet.
Sure, here's your reminder that Go supports a wide ecosystem of libraries and middleware that apply to almost any situation.
This is generally not true. x86 has a bunch of CISCy instructions that translate to several ARM instructions, but ARM also has a bunch of things that encode strangely and split across several x86 instructions. In general, they're not that far apart in complexity. (There are instruction sets where this is true, e.g. older architectures like 6502 or whatever. But it's unlikely to be the case for anything moderately complex.)
Thanks for the link. This is exactly the problem with the belief in governmental authority.

Where does government get its authority from then?

I say it is from force, and that the force comes from many individual's false belief that government is right to do as it does.

Eg, if you find you don't agree with what government does, can you withdraw? Say you don't agree with government starting a war in another country, and decide not to pay taxes, will you go to jail?

Most people do see that there is no choice, that it is based in force. However, they will also try to rationalise their acceptance of the force, and in so doing propagate the beast.

Public transport is never going to provide a comprehensive point-to-point network, and every switch dramatically increases the cost (in terms of time, effort, and finances). The only way it can be remotely viable for commuting is if your city is organized into a hub-and-spoke model where everyone commutes into the same city core.

But that gets you very congested stations (great for occasions like COVID!), and is murder for a city's social life (since you're more than doubling the cost of visiting friends). I know, because I live in a city^Hhellscape designed like this...

Bikes, you say? Well, my old 20km commute took around an hour by ebike, around twice the time of the car. And that was an unpleasant experience in the best case, that got virtually unviable with weather (rain, leaves, ice, whatever else). And again, unviable for socializing since nobody I'm visiting is going to have an ebike charger (nor is it guaranteed that I'd be staying there long enough for it to work).
You need a false implication for a non sequitur. I didn't imply anything.

So no source. Interestingly if you look up the list of global epidemics however COVID is #6 of 20, and if you sort by total global population list, COVID is #11. So it seems we have actually had worse pandemics. Maybe you’re seeing people reading the actual stats?
In the US I've driven several cross country trips (multi-thousand miles) in a Tesla with 300 miles of range. It's not only not a big deal; it's the most comfortable touring car I've ever owned.

If you stick to interstates, recharging at superchargers is easy. If you travel on smaller roads you have to plan more carefully to find destination chargers, RV parks, etc along the way but so far that hasn't been a problem for me.

Granted I recharge in my garage so I can commute locally without ever needing to think about range, but for purposes of long-distance driving I think range anxiety is an overblown issue, at least for Teslas in the US.

I've been hand-writing a CHANGELOG.md file, in each of my repos, for a long time. Before that, I used to keep it as a section of my README.md file.

I got used to the second file, after using CocoaPods. I don't really use CocoaPods anymore, but they would render the CHANGELOG.md file in a separate tab, which was nice. I don't think anyone else does that.

I think a hand-written changelog is better than a semantically-generated one, because it connects the developers' mindset to the consumer (usually, another developer). It says "These are the aspects of this release that I think are important."

A semantically-written changelog doesn't actually need to be kept. It can be auto-generated on demand. As long as the developer keeps good commit notes, with things like issue numbers, then this could be useful.
I was in Tallinn last September and saw a couple of these. They're pretty cute. One thing that bugged me was that when one of them crosses a street (using a pedestrian crossing), when it detects a car approaching, when it's in the middle of the crossing, it stops and goes back to the pavement it was on originally, instead of continuing to move forward, which would take either the same or even less time. What's the logic here?
Go for long walks in nature and let your mind wander. If you don’t read a lot then start reading more. Allow yourself to get bored and then see where your mind takes you (instead of reaching for your phone).

You’re probably a lot more creative then you think you are you just need to nurture it a bit.
OpenFaaS – Run Containerized Functions on Your Own Terms – Ivan Velichko
The reason a lot of adults gravitate toward the finished kits is the same reason adults stop picking up cool sticks outside: We just lose our imagination.

This just isn't true. When you are a kid, lots of sticks seem different: When you are an adult, you've seen lots and lots of sticks and they cease to become interesting. This is the same reason we don't find a lot of joy in children's learning toys. We should be moving on.

Some folks find out they like putting things together, even if there isn't much imagination going on: Cue lego kits, puzzles, cross stitch, home improvement, and so on.

Adult imagination looks different from children's imagination, in part because adults have knowledge and experience that children lack, which is why sometimes an imaginative child won't necessarily be creative in their daydreams. Adults are more likely to put it into things like parenting or making dinner or trying to stretch money to cover everything and still get gifts.

Adults are out there making artwork. Creating new software. Creating music and movies and designing buildings and public spaces and stadiums and playing sports. All of these things require imagination and creativity.

Sequin (YC S21) Is Hiring a Founding Engineer to Get Women Credit
The article incorrectly describes the equations of kinematics of the double pendulum as describing its dynamics. They do not; describing its dynamics requires taking time into account and considering how its angles and positions change over time.

It also considers the existence of a general theory of nonlinear mathematics. There's a famous quote to the effect that this makes as much sense as the study of non-elephant mammals. And I think the argument that our everyday experience is linear is very weak; our bodies are made of non-Newtonian fluids, fluid friction is nonlinear, everyday physical phenomena like solid bodies coming into contact with one another are wildly nonlinear.

So in a sense I would criticize this article in the same way it criticizes Deutsch's book: it's flawed and weak, but still thought-provoking. Even if we can't predict the double pendulum's position several Lyapunov times in the future with any degree of certainty, are there things we can say about it that haven't yet been said? Is there a way we can look at things (or that some physical system could look at things) that would enable useful cognition?
Considering that you can (slowly) charge an EV even with a normal socket, this overnight road trip problem seems vastly overstated to me. A socket and cable reel you should be able to scrounge up anywhere you can reach on asphalted roads.
I think you're missing my point here. Let's say you're given a pytorch model. You can either run it with native python or grab the golang bindings that are used by 5 people, and if you get stuck there, god help you. You'll be hitting obscure bugs in no time.

Even if something officially supports multiple languages, the obscure ones will be usually get inferiorly implemented bindings just because they're not used as much and will consequently not be as tested and as patched as the main ones. It's unfortunate but that's life I guess.
I get ~50% the speed of the article's variant with no SIMD at all in https://github.com/c-blake/nio/blob/main/utils/c2tsv.nim

While in Nim, the main logic is really just bout 1 screenful for me and should not be so hard to follow.

As commented elsewhere in this thread, but bearing (much!) repeating, a better approach is to bulk convert text to binary and then operate off of that. One feature you get is fixed sized rows and thus random access to rows without an index. You can even mmap the file and cast it to a struct pointer if you like (though you need the struct pointer to be the right type). When DBs or DB-ish file formats are faster, being in binary is the 0th order reason why.

The main reason not to do this is if you have no disk space for it.

Slight tangent: I always found it to be an added plus/bonus to a tool if it can survive being scrutinized by well-formed and long-lasting groups.

The one that has been scrutinized by TLA to catch these groups. On a long enough time scale, it can expose if they truly are "no logs", "fully encrypted", "privacy-conscious" or if it's just marketing buzzwords when they actually face a warrant.

We're a small team in Budapest, Hungary, and this library is our first product, currently in public beta.

It works similarly to other charting libs, but when users create a set of charts, Vizzu will automatically animate between them. The library is dependency-free, written in C++ and compiled to WebAssembly. It has automatic data aggregation and filtering capabilities.

We think it can be used for building data stories, interactive explorers and reports, and later, with some more interactive functionality, exploratory data analysis.

We've been working on Vizzu for quite some time and decided to go open-source because we want to make it easy for others to try it and build whatever they want while helping us figure out how the animation capability can be put to good use.

Data stories we built with Vizzu: https://vimeo.com/showcase/8920560, https://www.reddit.com/user/vizzuhq/?sort=top

Confused since pitch and frequency in my mind are the same thing. I googled around and there is precious little about this that I could find to enlighten me ... uses a pair of FFT's or some such.

The problem is that the range arguments are always brought as if they were a general use case. Most people will have maybe 1 or 2 trips a year that go over 500km in one trip. They still insist on buying a car for being able to do that trip, instead of buying a car for their general use case and renting a car for that one trip (if really necessary). Similar arguments for being able to transport 7 people, pulling a trailer, going off road etc.. People hardly ever need this they still buy cars because of this capability. Even disregarding electric cars, it doesn't make any economic sense.
It's almost as if this is all going according to some plan and we are crafting the next generation of "working class" Americans with intent.

It's a lot easier to become oppressed when you don't possess these most fundamental tools for understanding the nature of that reality. Maybe that's what we need to keep this shit show moving along for another generation.
> * what to do with a chain of reasoning if a previously asserted fact was retracted (i.e. when being questioned by the system, you realise that a previous answer was wrong)

Mixing up the concepts of "forgetting" (a monotonic operation that maintains a systems consistency at the cost of completeness), and "retraction"/"deleting" (a non-monotonic operation that requires truth maintenance and chooses completeness potentially at the cost of corectness (of the whole system)), is the billion dollar NULL mistake of the knowledge representation and database world.

Whatever provider you choose, make sure you encrypt your files locally to avoid the scenario where the provider blocks you because the AI decided one of your files is a virus, a copyright violation or matches some image hash.

There is no need for your backup provider to be able to look into your files so there’s only downsides to allowing them to.

It seems quite reasonable to me to be concerned that your state prohibits abortion after the 6th week, or that reproductive-aged women and their family members might be reluctant to move there; his assertion that abortion is "what multiple generations of Americans have grown up seeing as a fundamental right" is entirely correct, at least for Americans from the US. And this level of rhetoric seems positively tame for an abortion debate:

I have friends who are sincere, thoughtful pro-lifers. I admire, if nothing else, their principled dedication to a moral stance that regularly gets condemned in academia. But I’d also say to them: even if you think of abortion as murder, a solid majority of Americans don’t, and it’s hard to see a stable way of getting what you want that skips the step where you change those Americans’ minds.
I tend to utilise a few windows on varying topics with maybe 10 tabs on any window and I rarely breach about 15 tabs total. I have 5 pinned tabs. That is it, maybe it is because I worked with computers that had 16MB of RAM but I don't tend to keep much open these days despite the 32GB of RAM the machine provides as I just don't find it productive once the tabs are reduced down to nothing but their icon, the title text is an important guide.
