I think the every 6 month minor release cycle Windows and Ubuntu have converged on is probably the right one. You can't actually do enough stuff in a year in something like an OS to justify a major version upgrade.
My favorite thing about modern, more-sensitive camera sensors is that "day-for-night" blue fake night scenes are much less common and there's more actual night shooting. Or maybe just more convincing VFX, I dunno. Either way, it looks better!

Old-style day-for-night is one of the biggest things that jumps out to me and makes a movie feel very dated now.
> Humans don't "train" in the sene that statistical models, or neural nets, are trained. We don't have any clear supervision for example, no ground truth.

GANs are a form of unsupervised learning. They don't have "ground truth" either, just lots of existing images which they learn to imitate and to distinguish from other kinds of images not present in the training set. Similarly, humans learn to distinguish natural images from unnatural ones starting from birth, and use that learned feedback to filter the images produced by our imaginations: a natural example of a GAN. Our input is less… focused, and includes non-visual elements, and there are of course other aspects to general intelligence besides visual processing and imagination, but in this area at least we operate on the same basic principles.

> So for instance, you can't expect to train it on images of manga characters and find that it now draws you in the style of Michelangelo. That's what I mean.

Are we talking about GANs here, or humans? A human trained exclusively on manga wouldn't suddenly develop the ability to imitate Michelangelo either. On the other hand, a GAN trained on manga may sometimes produce images which are not recognizably part of the manga style—which could be seen as an entirely new style. (It would help the process along if you included non-manga images in the training set, as a human would have access to those as well. Then different styles of the same scene just become one more dimension in your "manifold" of all possible images.)

Inventing and learning to draw in a new style isn't something that comes spontaneously to humans. It takes a lot of practice both learning what makes the style distinctive and learning to create art in the new style. A GAN has most of the basic elements required to do the same, but we generally don't use it that way. An interesting experiment might be to permute the discriminator to favor specific elements which were not common in the training set and then train the generator to satisfy the altered discriminator.

> Which means, it can't innovate.

What exactly do you mean by "innovate"? To me the word implies intent, which is clearly out of scope for a mere GAN. Intentional behavior would put it in the domain of an artificial general intelligence or AGI. However, generating images which aren't in the training set is just a matter of choosing a point on the "manifold" which doesn't correspond to any of the input images. Though expecting the GAN to spontaneously invent a distinctive and consistent new style which appeals to humans, without being one itself or otherwise being trained in what humans might find appealing, is a bit much IMHO.

The biggest difference remains the fact that this GAN only has manga for its input, which limits its ability to produce anything outside that context. Its whole life is manga and nothing else. Humans have the same issue with creating things completely unrelated to any prior experience, but they have a much larger and more varied pool of experiences to draw from. (And even then humans can easily get stuck in one particular style and find it difficult to change.)
Mermaid would not be my first choice of diagramming software (that would be plain old Graphviz with PlantUML for more full featured graphs), but I'm glad to see some diagramming support on GitHub natively.

Exactly. I'm not sure what the person you replied to is talking about. This article is clearly well researched because it covers many classic games on the timeline of roguelike history, from Dwarf Fortress to Civilization 5 to Super Smash Bros.

> In another universe (different only in choice of career path) that nobel prize winner would be an entrepreneur doing 80 hours a week, or a star employee somewhere. You'd be lucky to hire them.

But most of the people you recruit aren't nobel prizes or entrepreneurs or star employees. They're not doing hard mental work. Regular development is closer to working in a factory or at McDonald's than to research. "Factory" type code is at least 80%-90% of the work being done in that field. And for that, younger employees are just better. They ask for less, can usually work more, put in more energy, don't have familles to go back to.

> Statistics aren't what I'm talking about. Statistically, some perentage of young women will get pregnant. If the stat is not a guarantee which applies to everyone in the group, it's wrong to use it to stereotype people.

No, it's not. At some point you have to make a choice, as a recruiter. If I have a 25 years old and a 35 years old, both with 2 years in tech, equal on the rest, why should I take the 35 years old? This choice won't work 100% of the time. But it will work more than 50% of the time. Companies are about risk management and making a profit.
It may be a million words of fake profundities for nerds, but it came to me at the right time to nudge me towards the PC end of the NPC/PC spectrum at university. I'm sure I'm a better person for having read it, and my friends agree that the PC-ish ways I acted at university (in large part inspired by HPMoR) were good.

If you have suggestions for better books that make you grok again that you can and should be a PC in your life, do please recommend them - I need constant reminding or I get out of practice!
I think you mean lenses. In any case, it doesn't matter how phenomenal the lens and camera were; film had a lot of limitations unless you shot really low ISO film, and that meant tons of light.

I think for filmmakers it was less about technical ability of the cameras and more about workflow and getting the look right; no film grain, no weave to the image as the film shifted slightly in the camera, way more dynamic range, different behavior around darks and highlights, etc.

One of the reasons a lot of newer films look so gorgeous is because modern cameras have such low noise at higher ISOs that they can employ a lot less artificial lighting, and high bit depth gives them much more flexibility in grading/coloring.

Well, not necessarily.

College currently mostly exists as an early-life service, but alternative paths exist: in the US, people in the military can go to college later in life. In some countries, people can get college education at evening courses. We could envision that some people starting early in life in physically hard jobs may want/have to retire years earlier, and use that time to go through college our of personal interest.

This isn't really possible with an onerous college system mostly dedicated to social layering, but an university system with scholarships for everyone and flexibility in the time and way people enroll is not an impossible goal.

I for one would really like to return to university after I retire, for instance.
I’m glad you replied, because your post says a lot of things I wanted to say, but didn’t want to type on the terrible iOS keyboard.

That said, while MMOs were always a class of their own I don’t think it’s unfair to compare them to other modern games. There are many of their aspects that just moved to other games. Their social aspects moved to actual social networks (which didn’t really exist back then), their grind moved to mobile apps, and the whole virtual world moved to more sandboxy games such as Minecraft and its cousins.
I'm pretty sure that particular clip came from a Zello chat room. On The Media did a great episode on work they did listening in on these rooms leading up to January 6, and they handed over all of their recordings to the FBI.

>I often find that after work I’ll be “too tired” to play with my kids, but I know my wife needs help. So I’ll find ways to be around the kids without fully interacting with them. I know that certain things elicit complaints, such as being on my computer; I avoid those, but I still find other ways to distract myself from reality. When I do this, I don’t really enjoy my time with my kids, I don’t really rest. I’m just wasting time.

Respect to the author for the honesty. Comforting to know I'm not the only one who does this. It feels like such a tragic waste and the guilt is real but I'm just so tired WCYD...
> 1) Skilled trades pay better than most bachelor's degree track jobs. My kids can make more money with a six month apprenticeship than they will with all but a few 4 year degrees. If you can drive a forklift, you can make $45K/yr... which is identical to what an firsty year teacher makes.

For decades clueless counselors pushed kids that were not successful academically or with behavioral issues into "the trades"... Only for the kids to realize they do need good reading and academic abilities to be able to succeed as a skilled tradesman. And that it takes disciplines to work in those fields.

We keep hearing about the successful tradespeople (notice how they are all their own bosses and own their shops) who made it but not the auto-repair schools’ dropouts.
Yes and no. I used to work at a state university recently. The cost of most state universities (in my state) has stayed largely the same over the last 10 years. However state appropriations (tax dollars from the state government) has been going down each year. So students are responsible for more of the bill.

Back in the 70's and 80's state appropriations covered between 70-80% of tuition. Now my state covers roughly 35-40% of funding for most public universities [1]. Part of this is the university offering more programs - athletics, counseling, therapy, other student services, which all need additional funding. The other part is that state funding is going down due to a variety of political budget reasons.

Yeah, I live in SF now after moving from Europe. The tax difference is not really that different for me (high earner), but what you get in return in really depressing. Good weather and astronomical wages make it worthwhile.

The problem for Putin here is that as long as economy continues to deteriorate, it's harder and harder to pay those siloviks (police, national guard, army etc.) to remain in power - he has to have good reasons for why they can't just replace them. Putin can't really recreate the Stalin's level of closeness - too hard. Getting money from natural resources - which admittedly requires much less people - can be iffy if the West will put sanctions (and also world moves away from fossil fuels).

Unfortunately it's still possible that Putin will cling to power for a rather long time.
That's often said, but it's simply not true. NATO members generally don't have enemies that would be willing to attack them; the only real potential enemy, Russia, is too weak, and Europe is already its main commercial customer.
Ah, helpful to see people analyzing for hard mode. I don't have that enabled, but I try to force myself to play that way.
I don't like the "exploration" strategy of playing Wordle. Once you have a start word, work onwards from there (aka "hard mode") rather than enter another random guess to narrow down more letters. I know it is a valid strategy, but idk just feels like cheating to me.
The choice between revenue and profit was well considered. Revenue does not account for expenses. But neither does it yield to Hollywood Accounting and the like.

The purpose of the small business definition in the license is to isolate and waive through truly fledgling businesses. The assumption is very much that the licensor will also offer paid terms. So falling outside the free license isn't the end. It's just a redirection to a negotiation, with assurances of fairness and nondiscrimination.
Nice. That theory seems quite a bit larger in scope. And intuitively it makes sense. What I had in mind was a more localized version of this which is sort of like a game of telephone within a language. It's not surprising that one's native language would affect the way one looks at things. But what seems more surprising is that choosing to express an idea one way vs. another within the same language can even end up communicating rather different sounding things. And the subconscious influence of the wording doesn't just have an effect on the reader but also on the author as well. Seems kinda like what is talked about in the Wikipedia article on Sapir-Whorf but also kinda different.

I think the effect takes a lot of different forms. It can happen as a result of connotations or homonyms of certain words. Or it can come down to artistic considerations. For example, one might prefer to express an idea in slightly different language that is less effective but more poetic sounding. Or maybe the author thinks it would be thrilling to make a very grand sounding statement when they had originally set out to touch on something more specific. And so the language ends up forming the idea just as much as it's meant to communicate it.

I think this is clearly evident in political debates where people talk themselves into a frenzy.
Playing with kids is fine if I've decided to dedicate time to it. It's when I sit around thinking of other things that I "should" be getting to that it's an emotional drag.
Newbie here to VPCs, bastion hosts, VPEs, etc. After spent a while on the topic, some questions arise that you might find redundant or can answer.

I am wondering why we need to configure this many steps as outlined in the article, and in general. What is the point of Teleport in the first place? Why is there no managed service that takes care of all of that, with me focusing on just deploying an app and running it in the VPC.

Can’t 99% of the use cases be put in a template and managed by a service provider, including the security?
Sure, it's a little long, and I was also disappointed that it presented a method I was already familiar with. However claiming that it's not sending SMS because you make something else send the SMS is a dishonest.
The alloy on the oxygen side pump in the Raptor engine is a work of magic and or art. An oxygen rich turbopump runs so hot it was thought impossible to create because the turbine would fail before the burn was over. SpaceX had to invent the alloy before the first Raptor full duration fire. That's a very low level, never done before, breakthrough required just to get to the real hard stuff.

I had plumbers out recently to replace a water heater.. after they left I went down to find out they had pushed the new one right up against the outlet the sump pump was using so I couldn't unplug that without moving the whole water heater. I'm not usually the one to complain that people don't take pride in their work but... it was a pretty visible and egregious error in a spacious and well conditioned utility room! Still haven't found anyone that goes above and beyond even for simple tasks.

I wish they abandon user feature release. Apart from UI changes like Dark Mode, I cant remember a single new feature from the past 5 - 6 years that I used on macOS.

There is no need for user feature as marketing. Bug Fix, Security Update, Performance, Drivers, API update are good enough.

To the point I am thinking, OS UX are near the end of the S curve. It is pretty much done.

> Your devs can actually build more features that you care about much faster than if they're porting and debugging for every app platform.

But do I care about those features? Do they actually make the software better?

I believe a major reason software gets worse over time is because companies add features which detract from the app's core purpose and make it more difficult to use. "Oh, you like Dropbox because it's a reliable way to sync files between computers? Great, let's add in a password manager and a word processor!"

Yes, I do think gardening would be a leisure activity many people would enjoy if they had more free time, but the difference between leisure gardening and what you seem to be suggesting --- subsistence farming --- is enormously greater than you are imagining, even though you have studied horticulture.

Your fundamental error is that you think food, medical care, etc., are bought with money. In fact, they are bought with labor, natural resources ("land"), and capital goods, all three of which are necessary. Money is just a consensual hallucination, a board game people play to allocate the labor and food and so on. If nobody is laboring, there will be no production, so money can only buy things which have already been produced. Food will stop being cheap immediately if it is not being produced.
One of the things noted by the OP is that you can get stuck in a rut if you don't do more info-gathering than just the first word.

I bet "s" in final position is much rarer than in typical text, because Wardle seems (reasonably!) to prefer base words over plurals, as well as past tense, participle, and other modifications.

For me the most useful immediate information is about vowels, making "adieu" quite useful. But "irate" and "inter" are also pretty good.

Most people focus on the yellow and green results, but the grey results can be even more informative. A grey result doesn't just tell you about its own position, but about all five. So each grey result from the first guess rules out huge swaths of the dictionary.

The more letters from ETAOIN SHRDLU you can cram into the first two guesses, the better off you are. Thus, any letters in color on the first guess would be wasted if repeated in the second word.

If you can motivate yourself to track what you eat "accurately enough" I can recommend just starting with that.

There's a bunch of apps out there that let you track what you eat. They usually hook up to various databases on nutritional information, let you add your own recipes or new foods etc.

Personally I could only bear it by starting to be reasonably good at estimating amounts/weights visually and not overthinking it or trying to be 100% precise. If you weigh every ounce of cheese you eat it can easily be overbearing. So I just stopped worrying about whether that's 50g or 60g of cheese. Some weighing to gain proficiency but that's it.

From that you can get a 'good enough' idea whether you're eating 4000 calories from sugar and fat, get 0 Vitamin C or D or if you're in the ballpark of the 2k, not too much sugar etc. and adjust through tracking. Some apps will also give you food recommendations and such (usually for a fee). Most apps have the RDAs for most things already in the app and also let you adjust (in case you decide that science speaks for the carnivore diet or keto or a vegan diet or that you found a credible source that the RDA for sugar is bonkers and you want it to be lower etc).

I think even without special sources you will have some data that allows you to make adjustments. My wild guess is that you will see too much sugar for example.

My guess is that as soon as you eat a better diet your mood might automatically adjust. Not entirely sure what you mean by mood specifically. E.g. alcohol can have an effect on mood (through making you more irritable). If mood extends to being 'lethargic' then if it's the same thing I had, potentially probiotics can help.
I do think that's a bit unfair. I consider one of the morals of HPMoR to be "at every stage, Dumbledore did the only thing he could do to avoid disaster, and everyone was really awful to him for it but he did the right thing anyway as best as he could". What you read as "Harry is the sane one and Dumbledore is a fool", I read as a cautionary tale about what happens when you think you're much smarter than everyone else and you have no idea what's actually going on. "Trouncing" someone is easy; being right is extremely hard.
> Why is it harder and slower to run docker on macOS than anywhere else?

Is it harder than on Windows?

It's harder than on Linux for sure, but that's because Docker uses features that are part of the Linux kernel, and so doesn't really work natively anywhere else.
