India was sanctioned in the 90's bythe US (supposedly for being communist leaning) so they couldnt get PC's which meant all they could learn on was mainframes.

In the late 80's early 90's Cobol programmers were being laid off by big companies, as it was all going PC, the COBOL millennium bug stuff was outsourced to Indians because those companies who laid off their staff couldnt get them back.

Its mainly a rumour for the UK and possibly other Western countries.

Tesco bank, TSB all use PC's, the TSB banking system was a rehashed share trading platform which is why they had problems a few years back, seems no one likes old school db transactions.

Tesco is full on in MS's pocket as is most of the NHS systems, and these are all online, when you do your online Tesco shop you connect to the store that will do the delivery because every store has a different product range and no mainframe or server could handle that for the whole country. You your GP surgery systems, regional health trusts, are all online which then gives you an idea of who is behind Wannacry considering the level of spooky surveillance of telecoms here in the UK.
The readme says they're working on a command line interface (CLI). You might want to wait for that if you don't want to learn PyTorch.

Once that's done it might be as simple as: install the package, and then find some training dataset, and then run the training CLI (for days or weeks or more), and then run the image generation CLI. Or even: just download an already trained model and use the image generation CLI immediately.
It's really just a cost-benefit analysis of whether it's worth it to build your own solution or build on top of somebody else's. I think a few years of experience gives everybody an idea of the general tradeoffs of each approach, some people will just tend to lean one way while others lean the other way

We are not talking about impossible hypothetical situations. We are talking about Bob and Alice, where Bob thinks to himself that only if he followed same career choices as Alice he would be in the same place as her. Since he is smarter and harder working than her. And that is simply not true due to life being chaotic, unfair and luck plays its part. He would have a chance but not guarantee to have same outcome as Alice.
The diagnostic criteria for mental illness is, to simplify, that an aspect of your mind causes significant problems. If it doesn’t, as the author’s attention seems not to, then you probably shouldn’t be diagnosed with the disorder.

Comparing yourself, when you have mild characteristics in common with a diagnosis and then saying it’s not so bad is perhaps not so helpful to those who do struggle with it.

Religion provided a rules based framework on how the world works, it might have been absurd (from a modern viewpoint) and has largely outgrown it's purpose but humanity had to start somewhere and it's hard to imagine modern scientific method could had been developed without the foundation by built medieval theologians.
I get this sentiment. But I think it's not so much that there's a framework but rather that the framework is an I'll fit for the problem to be solved. So you "fight" with it.

In general, it seems like the easier it is to do something in the scope of the framework, the harder it is to bend the framework to do something outside it's scope.

We've all seen this with frameworks that make 95% of the work really easy, and the remaining 5% is like pulling teeth. You're bending the thing where it's not meant to be bent.

(And that's when new frameworks are made. :) )

But if you go lower, under the framework, it's way more flexible. As a dev, you can explore and create instead of fighting. Which is great.

But really we're just on a different turtle. Raw JS has a really hard time with some problems when you try to bend it wrong.

Our job is to take the right technologies for the job and make them work, no matter how abstracted they are. The pain is merely from the wrong tool. And, truly, it sucks when you have to do that.

>I thought we had agreed that entropy is something you calculate with a model,

We did agree. I never said otherwise. Where are you getting this idea? I'm saying our agreement on this fact is useless. Why don't you actually fully read what I wrote.

>I was trying to say that the inputs to S(...) are the things that we know because we did measure them or set their values. It seems that we agree on that because it's extremely obvious.

I spent paragraphs remarking on this ALREADY. I get what your saying. You're not even reading what I wrote. Every mathematical model has this property you describe. It is not unique to entropy. If you don't know the parameters of even the Pythagorean theorem, then you can't calculate the length of the hypotenuse. Does this mean the pythagorean theorem depends on your knowledge of the system? Yes but kind of a pointless thing right? If this is the point your trying to make, which I highly doubt, then why are we focusing only on entropy? Because knowledge of any system is REQUIRED for every single mathematical model that exists or the model is useless.

I don't think your clear about the argument either. If your not talking about knowledge as a quantifiable input parameter then I don't think your clear about what's going on.

>I fully acknowledge that we may choose to ignore the additional knowledge and keep using the old model - and it may be good enough for some uses.

Entropy is used with full knowledge that it's an fuzzy model. It's based on probability. It doesn't matter if we "ignore" or don't know the additional properties of the model. The model doesn't incorporate that data regardless of whether that information is known or not known.

>They were the same in my example. Same volume. Same temperature. Same pressure.

No. The boltzman distribution changes with gas type as well. The models are different.

>For an ideal gas doubling the volume and the number of particules

In this case yes. But only for an ideal gas. I don't recall if you mentioned the gases were both ideal. Let me check. You did mention it. But then you mention the gases are different. Hydrogen and helium. Neither gas is technically ideal, and the quantum mechanical effects would likely influence the boltzman distribution when mixed. There are contradictions in your example that make it not clear.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_paradox

The article you linked explains it away. It's the choice of Macrostates, effects the entropy outcome. The article says it's subjective in the sense that it's your choice of Macrostates. The Macrostates don't change based off your knowledge. You choose the one you want.

Start simple. Educate co-workers on why a specific approach is good. Build culture. Slowly but surely you should all be working towards the same goal. It's a slow process but with many moving parts. Take on a single piece at a time. That's the only thing that works.
This uses several models. One of them is already trained and released, which you can use or you can train it too yourself. The other models need training. Training means having a labelled dataset and let the model run several iterations until the loss function has a good value in order to use the model. This code is quite complex as it is not one model but several ones and also you can make some changes to generate bigger images and to use better models for some parts. Once you have everything trained (you might need a GPU or a cluster of GPUs to train it for several days/weeks/months), you can use it.

I know this wont help you very much. But, either you are willing to spend a lot of time messing around with the code and have access to a good hardware to train the models, or you would have to wait until someone releases something already trained.

I used to feel like you do but nowadays I applaud that (while still not really using Apple products much due to the walled garden ecosystem) because it's really hard to take something away when you know it's good but could be better.

for ADHD welbutrin is effective but not very effective, much less than methyphenidate despite having the same action mechanism.
One of the reason being that it is a nicotinic receptor antagonist, an awful property, that should be palliated by taking GTS and choline.
Also it has less neural occupancy IIRC.
Also wellbutrin cause a high? incidence of tinnitus

isopropylphenidate has not been tested, it is reputed to be clean and low potency. It might make sense for stimulant intolerant people since it has low side effects. Otherwise I'd go for low dose 4f-mph or 2-fma, at least if you can't access vyvanse.

Literally the only reason i do not use Television or terrestrial radio broadcast is the advertisements. I got sick of the advertisements back in 2001, and i have never had a CATV subscription. I have an aerial now because PBS has a channel aimed specifically at children and as it's publicly funded the advertisements (including product placement) are benign or at least unobtrusive, not loud, and not about medicines. Doctors aren't watching children's programming (generally) so that's the last refuge from the billions pharma spends on marketing every year.

90% of the freemium streaming services are the same, and i'll include SiriusXM as well.

That all being said, I personally consider sectioning off parts of the language (colorful or whatever) a net positive. In my opinion, disallowing words that have "universal meaning" forces children (and people who want to run for office, be an instructor, whatever) to find better and more descriptive ways to express themselves. The alternative, as an extreme, would be two utterances: "Fuck yes!" for good things, and "aw, fuck!" for bad things.

All in favor say fuck yes
i agree that naively trying to do compute heavy stuff in pure python compared to C / cython is likely to be 100x slower, and 1000x slower than a thoughtfully rewritten array-oriented version of the computation in C / cython that allocates slabs of memory up front and then avoids frequent tiny allocations anywhere near hot loops.

but

real world applied optimisation problems (not simple illustrative toy problems as in the article) often have an exponentially large number of candidate or feasible solutions, attempting to brute force the search space in C is not going to be a fruitful exercise. e.g. you might be trying to solve a facility location problem to place `m` depots on nodes in a graph with `n` vertices, where each node can have 0 or 1 depot, so the space of feasible solutions is `2^n`, the powerset of the set of nodes. for a smallish applied problem, n might be `n=5000` . there might be a bunch of set-cover-like constraints that require a bunch of demand nodes on the graph are close enough to a depot node to be "covered", and objective function costs for each depot constructed or the distance from each demand node to the closest depot.

commercial mixed integer solvers such as Gurobi have a whole bag of tricks to reduce the problem into a smaller problem during a presolve phase before the real MIP solver even gets woken up. a presolve phase employs a bunch of heuristics to detect common kinds of problem structure or substructure -- for example in the toy "optimisation and beer" problem it might immediately recognise that the only constraint is a knapsack constraint and palm the entire problem to a specialised knapsack solver which trivially solves the problem. more realistic applied problems are often weirder and messier -- more generally a presolve might be able to eliminate some but not all of the decision variables, or use substructure-specific techniques harvested from the literature to prove and inject additional constraints that make the real MIP solver's search space smaller.

You described how my ADHD presents to the letter, down to the rewarding aspect of what I call being “in flow” or what you said about thinking/searching about a topic. I also have a sleep disorder that my Adderall helps treat in tandem for which I also take armodafinil. I believe these two issues are related but I lack the educational background to dive deeper into it.

Funny enough, I wanted to do chemical engineering and studied pharmacology briefly before I found that my ADHD would be a major hinderance to that major. You sound like an alternate universe version of me.

In todays world, I have a hunch most kids have learnt to swear by the time they start primary school, so why the mental bondage to use a euphemism and to have an excuse to beat a kind mentally and/or physically for saying it?

Would it really bring that much chaos to the world, considering the psychological idea that something banned or illicit is more highly treasured?

Alice offers a few different STT options.
While you can stay completely offline, depending on the language and your background noise, indeed the results are not as perfect as the cloud ones. But especially coqui STT (former deepspeech) does a really good job!

Another option, if you are a bit more open with "sharing" data and you don't want to miss out the best TTS, is enabling google or azure cloud services - with the big difference, Alice will only send the sound right after detecting your hotword (only while flashing her LED and asking you "yes?" before the recording starts). Nothing else would be shared.
I used Material for my hobby project [1] and got this feedback:

"Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't like the UI. It seems like a demo for a Material design app. I think the site has lots of potential, but without an original, personal style it might put off users. It doesn't have to be complicated, just something recognizable."

So a standard component library can get you started quickly, but you might want to tweak it. A few things I changed - made icon buttons smaller (the default sizes are way too big), changed the pills to be white with black border instead of just grey background.

There's no notion in the law of contract that each party has to "accept". The law requires offer and acceptance - one party offers, the other accepts.

How is the replication effort for this project handling that? They have over 600 people on their Discord right now, do they have some way for them to cooperate on training a single model?

Alice is the name of the main character. The supercomputer/AI was called Red Queen.

Though it gets a bit muddled, not least because the Red Queen was created using the template of one Alicia Marcus, of whom Alice herself is a clone.

I’m pretty sure that I could get an ADD diagnosis. But it’s not something that bothers me.

Mental and behavioral issues are tough because there are many shades of grey. If whatever you are experiencing is causing you pain and you cannot stop it, than it’s a problem.

I think modern society is tough because we tend to have fewer social connections and institutions. It’s easier to get stuck in bad situations or to be isolated than in the past, and I think that makes latent problems more problematic. The good news is that we have professionals who can help, but that bad news is we also have others (schools, etc) who help themselves.
For myself, the one positive outcome has been more empathy for others. I do count that as a super power (that comes at a crippling cost)

It can quickly spiral out of control. My best advice is to just hold back. My experience is that most people don't care about a fancy UI they just want something that works for them.

If you can build this from common basic components it should turn out ok. I think the trick is discovering what your application needs. What kind of interface it should be and what goes where. The it's mostly the same thing over and over again until it's not. Then this exploratory phase starts all over.

I like to draw experience from game engines. They typically build success around a few key components that have well defined constraints. As long as the right constraints are in place it's possible to make a fun experience. If you have the wrong constraints and you find yourself constantly battling the system then stuff is all wrong and you need to find a new approach.
In my circles, if you can successfully glue together react libraries, you're a senior engineer.

Some people i've worked with don't even know what imperative vs declarative programming is. As they say, you become your lowest minimum standard, and that applies to mainstream programming teams too.
When I saw this I thought about what S. Jobs said once: something like “We think about problem and work out the tech for it backward”. If the best solution is to use some APIs then go for it. The focus should be on the problem. We like tech we are using but these are just tools like any others.

Two problems: (1) People hear "Fed" and they think it has to do with the Federal Reserve, (2) "verse" is marketing speak for "move along folks, nothing to see here". Anything -verse comes across as something grandiose that was intended for somebody else, see "metaverse."

If the technical flaws are as bad the author says the right thing to do is just start a new name for a new protocol and know so long as it doesn't start in "Fed" or end in "Verse" you can say the name of it without driving away possible users.
I would think that a verbal domain contract would require some of the usual trappings of domain transfers to force the sale. They hadn't begun to negotiate the details of the transfer, by the sounds of it, let alone proceed to holding money in escrow.
