It’s terrifying that all of these models are one colab notebook away from unleashing unlimited, disastrous imagery on the internet. At least some companies are starting to realize this and are not releasing the source code. However they always manage to write a scientific paper and blog post detailing the exact process to create the model, so it will eventually be recreated by a third party.

Meanwhile, Nvidia sees no problem with yeeting stylegan and and models that allow real humans to be realistically turned into animated puppets in 3d space. The inevitable end result of these scientific achievements will be orders of magnitude worse than deepfakes.

I agree up to a point but what is "well written" depends to some degree on the reader. You'll find plenty of people here who basically resent literary style of writing and storytelling and would much rather have a dry paragraph or two synopsis.

> I don't get the point of wireless vacuum cleaner

The point of anything cordless is how it eliminates the hassle of, well, dealing with cords. In case of a vacuum cleaner, one has to:

- pull the cord out

- plug and re-plug it

- ensure it doesn't get stuck around the corners and under furniture legs

- ensure it doesn't pull some other furniture and topple them over

In addition, corded vacuums have practically no power envelope or weight restrictions, so they end up being bulky, heavy and loud, even if the context in which they are used doesn't require the power.

Dyson cordless (I can't speak to any other) in contrast:

- weighs lot less and can be carried around with ease

- can be moved around without a second thought of where the cord is or whether it can be maneuvered in a certain way

- is a lot quieter (can be used at night)

- is instantly accessible without any setup so it makes sense to use it for a few seconds to clean something up

- can be used outside of the house where there is no power outlet - e.g. in the car in a rental apartment parking

Since I switched to cordless (which has been 6 years or so), I no longer dread vacuuming. It's actually a pleasant experience and sometimes, when I get a few minutes, I do a clean of areas that get dirty often (entrance).

The battery life and the power available have improved to the point where it's no longer something I worry about (especially for my two bedroom apartment).
I'm not associated with Keychron, but I have their K7 with optical "brown" switches. The travel seems normal to me and I've had no complaints about the sound. Other switches may be louder.

Absolutely no complaints on design or build. My only complaint with them is the K5 has been out of stock for as long as I've been aware of them. I love the K7 for travel, but I want something similarly low profile for my desk that has a number pad.

In fact it's mainly simply a matter of identification, it's extremely rare for anyone's ethnicity to be investigated or challenged officially. Where it does matter is in public life, particularly politics and when people purport to represent a group or ethnicity. In the US this undergoes considerable public scrutiny and if a minority group thinks someone is trying to usurp their identity or represent them inappropriately they tend to be very vocal about it and exert considerable pressure to ensure that representation is genuine.

Not so much in China.

Clearly representation and biases based on ethnicity in the US and west in general is a significant issue. There are many injustices. Nevertheless I think it's a bit distasteful to create false equivalences which trivialises or normalise the systematic oppression and cultural erasure that's currently succeeding at wiping out Uighur identity.

> One of the largest* tax deductions comes from the paying of people’s wages for jobs. That’s a tax deduction where the economic benefit of the overall transaction goes much more to the wage recipient than to the entity taking the deduction.

To be fair it's not wages that are benefited specifically here, it's business expenses in general. If anything, wages are treated worse than other expenses (eg. buying a printer), because they're subject to payroll taxes. As for why expenses are deductible in the first place, that's done for a good reason as well. If you don't do that, you end up taxing x% for each step in the value chain, which would give huge tax benefits to conglomerates (which own the entire value chain) compared to small businesses.
Speaking as a physics professor, you can listen to me talk about awesome physics all you want, and maybe feel like you're getting something out of it. But if you actually want to learn math or physics at any level beyond "I've heard those words before and they sounded cool", you absolutely must be doing it: solving problems as practice, struggling with how to apply subtle concepts to new situations, and just absorbing the details for a while.

Are you genuinely envisioning this math/physics beach vacation as "mostly homework"? Because if it's not going to be a completely surface-level experience, it's going to be "mostly homework". :)

Where is this contract? I've never seen it. The rest of your argument is based on this premise. The "legal contract" of a computer program is the same, yet we have laws on what you can and can't do to other people's computer programs.

> The law already regulates mistakes in traditional markets. If you accidentally sell your shares for a fraction of what they are worth, you cannot go to a judge and ask them to return the “stolen” shares.

> it eliminates entities

But evolution doesn't eliminate entities. Low fitness entities are eliminated by hunger, or predators, or lower reproductive rates.

The marble on the other hand is eliminated by Michelangelo.

There's a linguistic confusion where because evolution is a noun, we think we can treat it as a subject. But in the person/place/thing/idea delineation, it is an idea.

Not only does it not design, not only does it not eliminate: "it" doesn't do anything!

Agreed, they're absolute garbage compared to similar offerings now.
It is categorically incorrect to keep referring to the policies as fraudulent.

Russian’s enacted capital controls protects the value of the ruble internally. Had they not enacted capital controls and the central bank not intervened, the Russian people’s existing ruble would depreciate much faster. These are protective measures against the effects of sanctions, with real positive benefits domestically that regular Russians enjoy.

It’s not fraudulent because domestic Russians mostly benefits from the propped up currency. Without it, domestic economics would plummet and regular Russians would face harsh economic outcomes. The central bank works hard to prevent that outcome.
Certainly FPTP voting system lead to different dynamics, but even in UK, for example after Brexit, there have been prime minister changes without voting. Cabinet reshuffles are also not unheard of after power balance changes in the ruling party. But yes, 'technical governments' are certainly an Italian quirk.

Regarding the Council (assuming you are referring to the council of the EU), that's certainly an institution I would like to see reformed as it is a body with legislative powers composed by executive members.

> A black box detector that similar to a trained drug dog will bark on command.

Absolutely. There is never any description given of the required false positive rate, or the way it will be measured and enforced.

A false positive rate of 1% across ~450M people, to find 3M abusers (assuming each abuser averages two victims based on the article’s figures) of which only 1% exchange images insecurely, would mean that 0.8% of detections would be valid.

The police cannot chase 125 dead ends for a single arrest; they just don’t have that kind of budget. They already give up on finding bike thieves even when the bikes are GPS’ed within town, and that would have a much higher probability of success per investigation.
Considering they're free (software; GPL), I'm surprised no one went full jerk mode and put them on store for free (ware; 0$).
One of my pastimes is to find and look through genuine accounts that post consistently with next to no attention. There are so many. Folks who livestream for hours every day, folks who sing or play guitar every day.. One of my favorites is a woman called "movie reviewer" who posts 5-20 second videos every day which never feature movie reviews but are instead basic observations or questions about the world or replies to Reddit threads she doesn't link to.

I originally found this entertaining, but now I'm more in awe of these people's consistency and demonstration of how much the platform means to them in the face of not achieving any traditional type of success on it. YouTube is hugely valuable and one of the best libraries of human experience I can think of – it's absolutely essential, to me, that it stays running for evermore.

>Criminals still primarily use regular ole' fiat currency for this stuff

Overall "money turnover" - idk whats the proper English term for that, basically value of all transactions over some period - is multiple orders of magnitude larger for fiat currency.

That does not change the fact that criminal activity is way, way larger % of crypto turnover.

Sovereign currency isn't really backed by military force so much as it's backed by trillions of $currency being owed in taxes or repayments over a given time period, meaning that obtaining currency has value to individuals and companies with outstanding debt and they're willing to swap goods and services for it. The military force is useful only in the narrow sense that being attacked by neighbours tends to damage the ability to perform services and repay debts and collect taxes, and many nations have perfectly adequate currencies but limited ability to project military power.

(And FWIW cryptocurrencies now have some debt repayable in them which helps stabilise their price somewhat, but the markets are relatively thin and short term, and the companies taking on crypto repayment obligations are generally trying to obtain the crypto by swapping for other volatile tokens in a zero-sum bet rather than borrowing to produce real world goods and services to trade or securing their debts against valuable real estate)

I think it's time to elevate the function into the same status as the number.

A number is ultimately founded on sets. A number is a most basic way to structure sets. Every number can be made out of pure sets (and later on, from tuples of sets-as-numbers)

At the moment, functions are also founded in terms of sets. But I think that mathematics can be constructed based on functions instead of sets. As far as I understand, this can be done using simple type theory; but I still have some studying to do about STT.

In any case, my point is that most mathematics since around the 18th century are not really working with numbers, but with functions as if they were numbers.

It seems to be mostly cultural inertia. People accept that the government department is underperforming because they expect government departments to be underperforming. Which they expect because that has generally been true in their experience. Which is the case because nobody demands better.

It's a vicious circle, but not an inevitable one. There are plenty of examples of well-functioning government departments, and in some countries there is no significant difference between the performance of publicly run institutions and their private counterparts (although there is of course plenty of variance within both of those groups).

MX series can be connected to multiple devices, most bluetooth accessories cant, still in BT5 world, but thats how it is.

so. even if software is absolutely same, you get better experience with MX keyboards.. because you dont have to pair it everytime you take your keyboard to work etc. which most keyboards fail to do. which is ridiculous.
also with mx keyboard you can use it on your ipad, pc,.... and there is button or key shortcut(depends on model) which helps you to switch to that other device.

so you can have ipad + desktop in front of you and when you are writing on pc and your ipad email notification goes on, you just press keyboard shorcut and you can start typing on your ipad.

sorry for this convoluted explanation, but in real use it removes so many annoyances that it is worth mentioning.

I suppose the problem is that it seems like Bethesda is more interested in creating a sandbox then having a story that fits that sandbox. Going back to Morrowind doesn't accomplish that necessarily.

On the story front I think what it did well was have the lore tie into weird things about the game world. The sand storm, the blight, the floating rock are things that dagoth did on purpose. Likewise, vivec and company are "Gods", that you can meet, but they're also Dunmer who used artifacts to become immortal who knew you in a past life. The visuals are more tangible because the story is integrated into what you see.
Oberon was designed in a very different context though: its goal was not to have a gazillion users, it was to build one system, that by the way happens to fit in 10,000 lines of code, compiler included.

In such a small system, the benefits of any feature are much smaller. Let's say you have some feature that could simplify your program by 1%. Over 10,000 lines of code that means save 100 lines of "complexity". If implementing that feature takes more than 100 lines, your small 10K lines system will end up more complex, not less.

Go however is fairly widely used. Simplifying by 1% on average is huge, and likely worth it even if it requires 10,000 lines of code all by itself.
