How many Cubans would have supported it today?

Cubans today are totally unhappy with their socialistic government. They would have definitely be better off if their government had fallen. On the other hand, democracy cannot be established by weapons. People need to desire it themselves first.
This is funny, thanks!

Are you suggesting that

Or that

Sounds quite similar! Alan Gordon (who treated the patients in the study) has a free program online[1] which goes through the ideas behind PRT (though it doesn't call it PRT in there, I think that term is much more recent).

> because nobody wants to spend literally days crossing the map

Weirdly, that's what every FFXI player did almost every day and for years, until they finally added fast(er) travel options in later expansions. Even using the Chocobo to increase run speed, it took 30+ minutes of travel to get to any end game content. And it was very easy to accidentally die along the way in places where nobody could resurrect you without also dying themselves, and then you would need to make the entire trip again. It was absolutely stupid and a complete waste of time, and yet I have nothing but fond memories of it.

BotW, if it wasn't for the Zelda tag in it's name, would have been judged for what it truely is: a very mediocre game. It does almost eveything wrong: the reward loop isn't satisfactory because getting a weapon that will break after a few hit feel useless, the cooking system has no tutorial and is hard to understand wihtout looking up on the internet and once understood is very tedious to use more a few time in a row, there is a lack a variety in enemies that are just copy-pasta of each other, the rain is basically stopping exploration as soon as it starts, thunder is even more infuriating: it's just a punishing mechanic that does the finger to the player, the world is big but empty, the shrines are mini-games designed by interns and feel often very out of place just as the UI (the red magnet for instance) are breaking immersion, the controls... oh the controls there are 16 different buttons + 2 joysticks (that are also clickable) on the Switch and every. single. of. them. is. used. for some action. That's 20 input to remember (I don't), bring me back the GameCube controller with its 7 buttons please! Aweful monetization too: a basic feature in an adventure game (path roamed by the player) is locked behing a DLC, and a lot of equipments are locked behind physical and expensive DLC (Amiibo). Very few memorable NPCs, forgettable music, almost no story, the list goes one.

In conclusion: this is likely the most overrated game in existence. But a Zelda (or Mario or Pokemon) in the name and people will buy it and like it whatever the quality. I regretted almost instantly spending money on it.
Of course.

"Being unsure (about the roundness of the earth, about the age of the world, about the origin of humans, about who built the pyramids, etc.) is better, anyway, than feeling sure of something false."

I concur, but it is a complicated problem. Weirdly I feel authoritarian regimes like China might actually show the path to success in Healthcare AI. This is because true success needs fast decision making/ unpopular tradeoffs that they can possibly execute better with lower regulatory barriers.

However, most studies on US healthcare point more fingers at bloated hospital admins with perverse incentives more than Doctors.
In the early 00s we were using a Psion Series 5 as a travel blogging machine. We even had a publishing pipeline where you could FTP upload Psion Word documents to a server, from where it’d be converted automatically to HTML and published on the site.

This was a great setup, with the compactness, battery life, and lovely keyboard of the Psion.

Plea for tips... I tried to play Elden Ring, no knowledge, lover of BotW, and ... I first picked Wretch. I didn't know that it matter and maybe it doesn't but it seemed more cool to start with wimpy looking character and see it get built up. But, AFAICT after getting to the first hard character in the training pit, Wretch is meant for a hard challenge

So I started over with whatever the first character is (already forgot what they called that type of character). Jumped in the training pit again and .... got to the first hard character and died. Zero indication what I'm supposed to do. Extremely infuriating programming that it takes sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to start from the last statue. Like gees! Literally no more than 1-2k of data changed but lazy programmers mean I have to wait way to long to try again. That's a hard punishment on dying but with zero help and zero instruction there was no way I was going to go through the torture of figuring out how to fight that first guy. Yea, I blocked with my shield but if he hits me once I'm dead because my character doesn't recover in time to get out of the way for the next hit.

I get fans love this difficulty. I hate it. It's not something that Zelda games do (I know, From Software fans will say Zelda sucks). But ugh, at least train me a little? I feel zero of this famed "it's so great because you know what you did wrong so you'll try again". No, I don't know what I did wrong. All I know is "You Died" now wait too long to see "Yo Died" again with zero help.

What am I missing?

Thanks for sharing this.

We lost our brother a while ago. Known to many as Matthew Rudy with the silent Jacobs at the end. Nobody has ever been prouder of their middle name.

I've found it useful reading about other people's loss. Here's the latest book I read. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jan/29/my-partner-die...
That is a strange statement, most machine learning boils down to compression in essence (OK it is lossy, but any image quantisation is also lossy). E.g. autoencoders are compression algorithms: take the model as a dictionary and the latent space weights as compressed representation. For most algorithms you are right though. Particularly it is worth the effort to put things in to Asics as the "wiring" normally stays stable and you do not need the flexibility of gpgpus . Still also there is nothing that keeps you from using them e.g. for efficient parallel decoding.
I didn’t include nesting in the first edition of the draft, because there might be some implications with it and I was curious for feedback on this. https://github.com/jotaen/xit/discussions/2

But it seems like my potential concerns are not shared that much, so I think the nesting should be added to the [x]it! spec.
I've used an Onyx Boox Max Lumi 13.3" eInk device as a monitor to try to work outside.

My conclusion for 2021:
The tech is just not good enough. There is too much smearing remaining when you scroll and refreshing manually is cumbersome.
Outer Wilds is probably in my top 5 games of all time, but I feel like it’s a category of its own. It has more in common with Myst or Lucasarts adventure games than Skyrim and other open world games.

Or maybe it’s a distinction without a difference. I know I’d rather see more Outer Wilds games out there than more Skyrims.
I would!! I like to sit outside and write code, but where I live it is too bright. Even in the shade with brightness full on, I cannot see anything.

So beginning this with YES, send me one! You seem to have my goals mostly for the perfect laptop; I don’t care about thin, but 10 inch or under and insane battery life are the things I need. Linux for me too.

Edit; from this [2] I learned that there is another display tech, so the below still applies but then I only need 1 screen but with that tech? I never saw or tried but what I googled looks pretty impressive! Why is it not used more? Most posts about it are ancient and I see pixel qi which was a hype thing until it disappeared.

My dream is to have something like the Fujitsu p1510 [0] with the swivel screen having lcd on one side and eInk on the other, running Linux and depending on the position of the screen which is on;

- closed both are off until you hit the on switch; the outer one will come on so you have a tablet or e-reader
- open both are off until you you turn on; the one on the side of the keyboard will be active

4g or 5g would be perfect but not really needed (just share my phone connection). If it had 4/5g I would consider dumping my phone altogether.

8-32gb ideally

Battery enough for lcd to do 12 hours (the p1510 with extended battery did on Linux i3 and I always had a spare with me).

I would pay a lot for that today. I had lugging around all the crap and I cannot use it outside anyway; my m1 MacBook at full brightness is already impossible and it’s only spring.

I also still have feverish dreams about this exact scenario but with a Zaurus [1] or new Astro Slide.

I really care far less about thin than I care about battery life and it being one device to do everything.

I have a Boox note3 and I use that as a screen for my m1 air, but them not being one device and the fact it is basically Vnc makes the lagging worse; it is still ok to work in full sunlight but it is a messy setup so I hardly ever do it.

I think I had a similar reaction to my mother's death, although hers was drawn out over a period of years; a lost battle with breast cancer. I think I only miss her more with each year. It's been 7 years. Part of the trouble I think was that some important people around me basically collapsed from grief. And so it felt like the entire family just sort of disintegrated when she died. No way to process any of what happened. Just a lot of denial. The way things happen on the Hallmark channel is a sort of sickening caricature.

Educational software is almost exclusively for-profit and proprietary. They are contributing to many problems.

Digital support for infrastructure is overwhelmingly proprietary.

I have not been on the bridge of a merchant vessel.

But on a warship, there is a navigation brief, and the people involved in the transit gather to walk thorough the whole evolution. Every single turn is discussed and visualized. No matter how boring and routine the transit.

"We are on this course at this speed for this long. We are shooting this navigation aid from the pelorus. We put on this much rudder for this much time to come to this course. We have shoal water off the starboard bow here. The channel does this."

And so forth.

Even on a merchant vessel, which has an order of magnitude less crew than a warship, the COLREGS[1] will tell you that "Thou Shalt Not Jack It Up".

The costs of screwing it up, in an RMF[2] vein, are astronomical.

Hence my skepticism at the newsreader glibly stating that the vessel "missed her turn".

These media people can spaz out for days over an apparent 9 hour gap on an official phone record with zero real-world effects.

Now, how about committing an act of journalism and getting a preliminary reading.

Did the helmsman have a seizure and throw the rudder over? What?

I am in the same boat. Save for a few games, modern games bore me to death and completely pass by me. I play maybe ~2h a month, if any. Actually, this is true for me when it comes to modern movies and music as well.

Is there more to it other than the fact that as one gets older, one has higher expectations? I keep wondering about it...

Seriously, the burden of proof is on you for such a statement.

And be precise, which modulations, which conditions, what effects.

"Certain" and "profound" are filler words in this situation. They mean nothing.

It's not a matter of a union having too much power, it's a matter of why would a union have any power over me whatsoever?

I didn't elect a union. If I want to work for a company and they want to hire me, how does a union have the power to tell me I can't work for them and the company can't hire me?
You may want to get some useful imformations and do something to make the situations better. Before that, you should accept what you've been through is truly happen. It's okay to not to be okay.

Then, treat yourself like a friend, what you'll do for your best friend if they suffer the same issue.

For instance, what do you think is the best suggestion for them. Do it to yourself.

These things happen not because you were not wise enough or not hard enough. Like a heavy rain, it just a weather but not a fault.

Good luck! Hope you'll find a job that you love!
That's one hell of an entirely unsubstantiated claim...
I have a crude hypothesis that the difference between the old and young is the accrual of profound grief.

It never fades, it compounds with the loss yet to come. We learn to live with the living ghosts and daily reminders of everyone and everything we've ever loved.

Loss and grief is not the same as death, Vonnegut's "So it goes" speaks to the sheer overwhelming mass of death constantly happening. But grief and loss is deeply personal that it can feel isolating.

It feels like only those who have experienced it can really understand it... But even then, it is such an individual experience that even knowing someone who lives with loss doesn't mean it's a relatable thing.

It's such a hard thing that the only thing I've learned is to be kind. As we age, everyone we know is carrying loss.

My comment was more about calling out a group that doesn’t actually exist or at least has no formal definition based on OPs opinion.
My wife was in a union and was able to decline membership. She was straight up bullied/harassed by her union-belonging peers when she left (saving some serious cash — relatively speaking — by not having to pay dues anymore).

Nothing about her job changed when she left the union.

I have no issues with unions, provided the employees have the choice to belong. But there’s the rub many (most?) states require membership (and dues) if there’s a union. And that’s never sat right with me.
Nitpick: Nobody has those salaries. Compensation on those levels are paid out in more tax-efficient ways.

Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Engineering and Operations Roles | Southeastern USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web, Android) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure).

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

A current scaling challenge is database and data caching infrastructure. We are making extensive use of Postgres in multi-site replica environment, but also used Redis (formerly) and now KeyDB, and are investigating moving to Cassandra, as well as expanded use of message-broker systems like RabbitMQ.

> Choose money and you’ll end up working all the time. Choose beauty and you’ll always want to look better. Choose fame and you’ll constantly be seeking attention.

This is straight-up paraphrasing David Foster Wallace in This Is Water, just that DFW was talking about these things as de-facto personal religions that we're usually unconscious of. So the "choose" part isn't nearly that explicit in his view.

The bit in This Is Water:

> If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you... Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they’re evil or sinful, it’s that they’re unconscious. They are default settings.
I loved both. I think BotW is the greatest open world for immersion and gameplay. It only lacks in the story department and the ending is weak. I think it’s a great game but I wouldn’t want every open world game to copy it. Like I’m playing and really enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 right now and it isn’t doing anything really that’s been inspired by BotW. It has more in common with Bethesda games and Farcry.

BotW manages to always be fun and interesting to explore. A quality worth taking inspiration from for sure. Getting around the map in games like Assassins Creed often feels like a chore.
