> If in order to "steelman" your argument I also have to accept every point where you beg-the-question then where can there possibly be any argument?

Yes — when you’re presenting the “steelman” version of someone else’s argument, you have to use their premises.

You outline two distinct arguments in your question:

1. A secular pro-life argument

2. A religious pro-life argument

Substituting a secular for religious argument is a strawman: you’re responding not to the best form of their argument, but to another argument they didn’t make.

In the case of a religious argument, the “steelman” case would be to articulate the religious argument to the best of your ability — and then dispute it by discussing which of the premises you disagree with and why. In your example, disputing the premise fetuses have souls.

The reason for “steelman” arguments is because that allows you to directly dispute the disagreed upon premise by clearly defining it and showing how it is integral to their argument.
I believe him, although his argument is rather weak. It's true that it would be prohibitive to run speech recognition at all times, but what if Google would choose to do so when detecting a particular pattern, like you are meeting a specific person? Even simpler, we could imagine it tries to detect speech for 5 seconds every 10 minutes; that way it could bypass a lot of the arguments listed here. We also know that the NSA can activate your microphone remotely, so the technical capability is definitely there and Google has the means to do it.

People sleep on Object Pascal to the extent it's almost comical. Not sure why more people refuse to get over the begin...end versus {...} bias or hypocrisy (since some will jump all over Python-like or Ruby-like syntax). A lot of what people want their language to become, is what Object Pascal already is.
Some nuts are carbon neutral... To grow them you have to grow a forest first. Just don't do it in the desert. Start with eliminating animal products. Feed people instead of livestock. That shouldn't even be controversial but tradition is holding us back. Trust me life is good as a vegan glutton.
This does not really matter, it is not about them. Also, even if that were his reasons, the choice of words is appalling.
Well, does it have a Genuine People Personality?
What about: at some point we would have to really catch that inspiration from the expression "Intelligence" and build a critical engine?

Edit: in fact, your latter statement seems to suggest finished products: no, they are toys. We are playing in order to build further, we are getting results, milestones in the construction abilities - but those "models" are little lab-byproducts monsters. What are you «twisting»?
I use (used) straws a few times a year when getting a treat like a milkshake. Now every time I get a milkshake, I get either a tooth-chipping metal thing or a limp paper tube that breaks. You can't really drink a milkshake out of a cup, it's bizarre.

I dare you to find a less significant source of pollution in my day to day life that's more inconvenient to ban. Perhaps clothes pegs or shoelaces? The list is short.
Free speech doesn't exempt you from committing crimes.

I'm against all regulations, I personally think we should have 3rd party companies reviewing products and the processes to create products and that anything should be sellable.

That said, if the customers have an expectation that products need to have a certain characteristics to be sold because of regulations - if you bypass those regulations you are committing fraud to your customers.

It would be equivalent to a company saying "The Health Reviewer Company X said our product is good for treating depression" when no such claim was made. It's pure and simple fraud - and they're free to say it and be sued into oblivion.
wops, good catch
If you log off or browse from a private window you can see tweets.
yeah i don't get why 'strawmanning' Y is necessarily bad in this case. You also automatically strawman your own position, so what? that's kind of the point, to entertain another theory, possibly one by one.
You just cannot beat Cinelerra. Occasionally I try to use some heavily advertised one (like Kdenlive or Pitivi) but immediately realize you cannot "Generate Keyframes While Tweaking". This is essential.

Cinelerra has been splitted to two^H^Hthree but only Cinelerra CG seem to work.

Those who remember old-time Cinelerra can be amazed with the render-list of 20, which all seem to work. In the olden golden times you just made big MJPEG and used FFMPEG for coding.

Does anyone have any favorite resources/tutorials for learning and using Blender solely as a video editor?
Just this morning I finished watching a tutorial on setting up qgis, installing plugins and building a multi-layer map of Mumbai. Very much recommended for anyone looking into GIS https://youtu.be/jgbTosOPU-U
Thank you for noticing! Fixed :)
GAMMA works if you add back Microsoft, who are doing better lately.
FoundationDB isn’t new. It’s nearly 10 years old at this point, very stable, and developed by Apple. It’s pretty much the standard for strongly consistent federated key value data stores.
If you use Python and JS chances are you do some form of web development, where most performance issues have to do with I/O, and most of those I/O issues are caused by bad queries. It ultimately comes down to using application performance monitoring software and analyzing query plans. Memory issues are an oddity and are usually caused by users doing stuff like uploading gigantic files.
Critical Thinking Is About Asking Better Questions
that's not really Bip though, only original Bip, Bip S and Bip Lite have transreflective displays with battery life in 4+ weeks and display readable in sunlight, any other Bip is just regular power hungry watch.

Bip U has already just regular TFT display with poor battery life, maybe a better readability than OLED, but not comparable with transreflective displays and their battery life.

As you said you can use Gadgetbridge if you don't trust them, though I find GB experience very poor always losing connection compared to their own app, not sure if you can disable internet connection for the app to keep using it which would resolve privacy issues (I use also GBoard without internet access).
No, I am saying that the cure is worse than the disease. The proper fix for the AI being racist is to make it able to not be racist on it's own (which would probably need much deeper understanding on the side of the AI), not forbid everything that passes some primitive heuristic of "being racist". One is painful and correct, the other is easy and feelgood and doomed.
When your justice system is paid off by the oligarchy, the justice system will not punish the oligarchy. It's a slap on the wrist as well.

Centralisation of power is to blame.

A (more) honest justice system with independent judges could make sure the company can't trade for X years and / or pay significantly more, proportional to the damage caused.
If they don't their reputation should suffer.
In my country, which is a relative success story for wind?

apparently circa. $ 40 billion, for, right now... one GW. On average - and be assured I have checked this - five, which puts it in the same cost / GW as nuclear, and a capacity factor, not of sixty percent as advertised, but twenty-five. And we don't dump a megatonne or so of CO2 into the atmosphere a week running gas plants to cover nuclear variability. As alluded to by someone else, big wind projects are starting to run into the same levels of NIMBYism as nukes, because the footprint is huge.

You want to advocate for less nuclear, that megatonne a week is something you answer for.
It would be criminal if the German government would bother to prosecute, but Germany's government is much better at protecting local corporate corruption than prosecuting it (Wirecard).
I don't think I could, since the language was designed by amateurs after no research into safe programming, and is only being improved one gigantic loss at a time.

Maybe if you could translate from Coq.
I was still in school in the first half of the 2000s and spent a lot of my hard earned money on more or less useful and smart hardware, especially smartphones (mostly called PDA-phones in the pre-iPhone era) and with hardware keyboard. I think my first device was the HTC Blue Angel. I also had a Treo 600 and the Palm Abacus. Those were really nice devices, PalmOS was way better than Windows Mobile and worlds better than Symbian UIQ.

Fun times.
I like to read articles and blog posts, so I have a workflow where I email myself a web URL and have a scheduled program pull out these URLs, extract the article body text, and convert to mp3.

A version of the program is on GH:

That is wildly unkind though.
I'm still wondering why there's no go-to choice to spin up a docker container that has everything preconfigured.
I prefer info to manual pages and even readthedocs websites by a large margin. Emacs' info reader is great, it keeps track of your visited info nodes as a tree, generates custom indexes for you and allows you to navigate by visit history, node name, index entry and more.

The only downside is that you can't embed images in info, so you end up lots of ASCII art flowcharts ava box drawings. But that's true of man pages as well.
And were did I say they're not worth listening to? I just pointed out the unfortunate owner. I'm still happy with Politico.
When I read articles like this one I always have to think about companies like Apple and Tesla.

Apple didn't invent smartphones or touchscreens but they started the revolution. Tesla didn't invent EVs but started the revolution.

What they have in common is that they pick the best of existing technologies and combine that into a product that is ahead of the competition. They don't invent new things but invent better things.

For me that means you can create better products than the competition by even using old (but good) tech. What matters most is how you apply the tech.
You can also try to use your domain registrar SMTP as relay, in case they offer you a mail service, and setting their SPF records to the domain. I have set it up with Gandi and works pretty good.

Regarding the Poseidon desalination plant proposal for Huntington Beach:

It's an expensive, risky, corporate handout that ranks nearly dead last across the board in terms of water reliability, value, and financial risk relative to any other proposed water projects(including some other desalination projects) per MWDOC's own report.

That thing with Newsom at the French Laundry was because it was a birthday party for a Poseidon lobbyist.
How far though?
> No other computer manufacturer can make the same claim regarding the production of their plastic body notebooks.

I seriously believe it's time we start considering Apple a religion.

Technology company HP Inc., Palo Alto, California, has a product and service portfolio that includes personal computer systems, printers and 3D printing solutions. Increasingly, the company’s products are manufactured using recycled-content plastics

All the ocean-bound plastic that HP incorporates into its products is PET. The company says its HP Elite c1030 Chromebook Enterprise laptop is the world’s first Chromebook made with ocean-bound plastic. The device also is made from 75 percent recycled aluminum and features a keyboard made from 50 percent recycled plastics

HP is using ocean-bound plastics in its products, with the Dragonfly is made of 80% recycled materials

HP has just launched new ENVY notebooks that offer creators the freedom. The ENVY laptops are also made from recycled aluminum

In 2018, we began implementing the use of an innovative bio-based packaging made from bamboo and sugar cane fiber. The material is not only 100 percent biodegradable, it is lighter than previous packaging and its strength characteristics enable design improvements that reduce overall package size.

This new packaging was used to to ship memory cards and one of our ThinkPad models. With lighter packaging materials and package weight, the result was 6.7 percent less transportation CO2 emissions. We are therefore looking to expand the use of this bamboo and sugar cane fiber packaging innovation.

Over a decade ago, Lenovo began using 100% recycled and recyclable packaging material. Instead of using polystyrene packaging, we now encourage the use of molded pulp, fiber and low-density polyethylene (LDPE).

Lenovo unveiled their latest range of gizmos at CES 2022 a short while back, including the new ThinkPad Z Series of laptops featuring eco-friendly designs. The ThinkPad series is made from 75% recycled materials, the Z13 and Z16 are made from 100% recycled aluminium

just to name a couple of them.

Every brand out there is greenwashing its name...

Anyway

Apple has committed to be 100% carbon neutral in terms of its supply chain and products *by 2030*
The EU doesn't everything right in the digital sphere but at least some parts of it understand the importance of privacy.

Of course there is an opposition that believes this hinders digital development in Europe, which is quite slow or nonexistent, but that is also often caused by said opposition itself instead of privacy laws. Because the few digital experts need all their energy in fighting their ideas and corruption.
I came to say the same thing. The video editing features were very usable in Blender in 2015. Given the open short movies they do are used to drive development, I would be surprised if the video editing hasn't been improved since.
Sounds more like a push to get a bigger discount out of Microsoft.
Because the problem is mostly about the reputation of the IP address.

Setting up an email server is somewhat easy. Ensuring that other servers consider yours as legitimate that is the problem.

> Look at the constitution and educational credentials of UK cabinet ministers and Parliament. It's often Eton > Oxford U

Yes, and as another poster stated above, it quite clearly should NOT be that way.

Just going to Eton and/or Oxford does not automatically make you a highly intelligent and highly capable individual ... the present UK cabinet is an example of how that route manages just as easily to push out a bunch of incompetent twats.
I hate it too, but in a way it's true.

"Thought contagion" is exactly how memes replicate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme#Memetic_lifecycle:_transm...

In that way it's dangerous to let some people (or ideas/memes) have write-access to your brain.
Ask HN: How long do you think developer assignments usually take
Almost every company gives you take home assignments to determine how you program etc. as part of the job search, these assignments are usually described as taking 3-4 hours. In my experience then tend to take longer than that.

How long in your experience do developer assignments take, and how do long do the people handing out the assignments say they take?
I wouldn't say so. This sounds like an accident and I don't think there was intent.

If there was intent I would also say it's intent on the part of the driver (pending a mental health examination) and not on part of the company.

If the company instructed the driver to hit a car on the tracks they would be a criminal organisation and they should cease to exist.

In the case of GSK they committed fraud by lying to their customers. It's not intentionally killing someone but it's definitely endangering lives and it should cost more than 3B
Are you using some bespoke Babel plugin that actually adds Java-like classical inheritance to JavaScript, or are you implying that the standard EcmaScript 6 classes which Babel handles by default are somehow "Java-like" instead of prototype based? Because they are not, they still use the same prototype-based inheritance, even though the syntax kinda looks like Java, and have all the same pros and cons of prototypal inheritance as before.
> Nope. I dare you to do it. Or at least intelligently articulate the model architectures for doing so.

It is obvious that we can in principle try to detect this. People are already attempting to do so [1][2]. I would be very surprised if Facebook and other tech giants are not trying to do that, because they already have a huge problem in their hands from this type of technology.

>You think it's a good thing that the judiciary is an ivory tower with absolutely no regard for public perception

yes, the point of the supreme court is to interpret established law (which IS made through public opinion) and make judgement that isn't trying to appeal for their re-election campaign.

>These nine people are unelected and appointed to their positions for life.

in a vacuum, yes. In reality, they are appointed by the president (elected official) with approval from the senate (elected officials). Checks and balances, it's not perfect but it's made so that no one person can basically rule the country like a monarchy.

>the basic premise of THIS OPINION is that public debate about controversial issues is healthy.

no, the basic premise you replied to is "things are so polarized that even state officials are trying to skew opinions through leaks".

Whether it be revealed yesterday or in 2 years, this ruling would not have changed the obviously charged discourse that such a landmark case would bring. There isn't any particular justification that it's in the public's interest to hear this ruling earlier (since, well...it's been ruled over by now I assume. They aren't just going to re-judge the case over some pre-emptive protests). It is in the courts' interests to not have employees release documents off cue.
Don't know about the effect on the spam ranking, but on the flip side you'd lose some privacy.

For example, email notifications sent by Stripe are delivered over TLS'd connections. My bank does this too. If you are to proxy these, the relay will obviously be in the loop on all emails that aren't local to your mail server.
Not convinced the author understands steelmanning.

I don't need to strawman myself to try to understand your argument from a good faith perspective.

I'm also not sure how this format came to life, but it's highly aggravating to sift through
I've learned basics from youtube.
First you have to switch blender to video editing "workspace". This opens the internal non-linear video editting GUI, which makes things little bit more obvious.
Yubikeys protecting critical IT infrastructure in Ukraine
Would you trust it if there was one?
Hi Gabriel, congratulations for the launch!

I think software development is due for a disruption and your take on testing is spot on.

As part of a dev tool belt we developing, we are building a tool to translate user interaction into a selenium script, and have the selenium script run on our server. User get to take away the script so they don't get vendor lock-in. What is your approach into replaying a user session?

On a broader picture, I think what you do has potential beyond QA. e.g. if run on production, have CS hop on the same session as a troubled user.

Just checked your profile. It seems we both are based in london. Maybe we can grab a beer to discuss the potential.
Thank you for sharing this, signed up!
Gosh. You've seen right through us.
That was quite unnecessary.

I look for signs in posts of where the user is at and he said "I don't normally make bold claims but I think I'll stick with this one and maybe in 5-10 years I can fish out this blog post to see if I'm right or not" which is exactly the kind of thing that suggests a level of maturity (which = a willingness to be wrong and change one's mind and learn from experience) in the poster.
In her book
One explanation would be that roads are not the useful information on modern map, you search for you POI or address, and then query an itinerary, and then you have a very contrasty road, the one you need.

I suspect just looking at maps to find your way is a more and more cornered case.
This is the big difference between studying and working.

When you're a student you generally have small, closed ended problems with a solution that someone has found before you.

When you're working you're generally the first person to solve a given problem, and it's never completely solved and it's never completely understood. You may have to dive down to a level of abstraction that you don't normally operate in, like machine code. Or up, eg to the business strategy.

The feeling of discomfort comes from the cave diving, you don't know what's around the corner. What does tend to happen is you learn a set of tools that are generally applicable, with a bit of customization for each time you see the same problem.
It's a great day for rapists and for people who like seeing young females have illegal abortions and endanger their lives ("oh they deserve it, those ungodly servants of satan").
For those looking to actually edit video professionally on Linux you can’t really beat the free version of Davinci Resolve. Over the past 5 years it has become an incredibly competent non-linear editor alongside being the industry standard for color grading. I’ve honestly tried everything under the sun on Linux for video editing and nothing beats it. If you’re looking to stay open source I think blender is starting to become more competent but still a bit of a task getting it setup for doing serious NLE video work.
Not OP, but a lot of people find it very easy to be sociable with successful people (or who they perceive as successful anyway) and will give them preferential treatment.
You just need to write 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo , like in

sudo sh -c 'printf 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo'

Writing 0 re-enables turbo. Note it is not the same as the power-saving mode in Gnome settings under the Power section. This is more similar to Low-power mode in MacOS which also prevents Turbo boost.

EDIT: I was wrong to call it power-saving mode in the grandparent comment. It should be called no-turbo mode there.
Once, a couple of years ago, I had a job at chemical company. They produced additives, stuff you add to, e.g., plastics to improve certain characteristics. One thing they experimented with was additives that helped to break down plastics into molecules you also find naturally. In my best layman's term, below micro-plastics and something that is found in the environment anyway and will just become part of the natural cycle. In tests, they managed to achieve that (based on legal limits for plastics in soil samples, within a year in the ground. meaning, any plastic concentrations dropped below legal limits and detectability. Quite nice. Not sure what happened to that, being a new product it wasn't cheap to produce (yet). Not sure if it was even suitable for most use cases.
