But it's not just that. With a free economy the problem would sort-of have solved itself, as there are a lot of poorer countries that don't have currency crises.

To get as screwed up as this you can only achieve with centralized planning, where a single decisionmaker mistake can mess up the sustenance of millions.

Several years ago, we did a project attempting to develop methods to OCR bilingual dictionaries. We just used Tesseract, because we were trying to develop methods to put stuff into particular fields (headword, part of speech, translations etc.), not compare OCR methods. As you might guess, there were lots of problems. But what really surprised me was that it was completely inaccurate in detecting bold characters--whereas I could detect bolding while standing far enough away from an image that I couldn't make out individual characters. And bold detection was crucial for parsing out some of the fields. (A more recent version of Tesseract doesn't even try to detect bold, afaict.)

We had another project later on aimed at simply detecting bold text, some success. But very little literature on this topic. Anyone know of OCR tools that do detect bolding?
I think so too. I even made another comparison website for it because OP's website doesn't use the full resolution images. Each image is about 50 MB so it will take awhile for it to load.

Do similar alternative interfaces exist for Facebook proper, specifically group and organization pages? I've tried searching but haven't found any. Several local business only have a Facebook presence, no traditional website, and it'd be handy to check their posted hours and menus without creating a second Facebook account for the purpose.

If you filter it well, you actually can run a diesel engine from waste cooking oil directly (but it's not great for it, which is why it's often converted to biodiesel or HVO/HEFA).

The hydro-processing that HEFA/HVO (the kind of fuel used in the above trial) goes through is mostly for cold handling properties, viscosity, etc. - it actually makes it basically chemically identical to the fossil derived hydrocarbons that are normally used, which is pretty cool and interesting.
OK, first make sure the books are really there. Right click on a book entry, and click "open containing folder". Make sure the book file is there and isn't corrupted.

If it's OK, you should be able to read any non-DRM'd file of most formats by right click > View > "View with calibre e-book viewer".

You can also try any other ebook reader by clicking the "Configure Calibre" icon to open the Preferences dialog. Under "Behavior" find "Use internal viewer for" and uncheck the file format. Then when you right-click > View > View, Calibre will use your OS default viewer for that file format.

If you have DRM'd files (such as from Amazon), you will need a plugin to remove the DRM. The best way to find these is to look on https://www.mobileread.com which is a good place for Calibre discussion in general. I used to know how to do the Amazon ones but it's been a while, there might be a new way by now.

I often listen to the same song on repeat for days in a row during periods of intense work. Usually "Djohariah" by Sufjan Stevens. It helps that it's like 17 minutes long. But I also listen to "Saturn" by the same artist, which is only 3 to 4 minutes long. It kinda puts me in a trance.

Cool! Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of Capt. Kim. Here is an excerpt from the link you shared:

> Upon Kim’s arrival in Mississippi, the commander offered him a transfer since “Koreans and Japanese don’t always get along,” due to Japan’s annexation of Korea between 1910 and 1945. But Kim refused to go anywhere. “You’re wrong,” he replied, “they’re Americans, I’m American, and we’re going to fight for America.” Their introduction, however, was not a smooth one. Kim thought the unit looked messy and disorganized. The men of the 100th Infantry didn’t think too much of Kim either; he was a mainlander, he was Korean, and he had not earned his commission at a service academy. Eventually, they bonded over their determination to succeed in combat. “We had to be as good as any other Caucasian outfit,“ Kim later recalled, “…and if we did it well, we’d get the credit.” To ensure his men would be ready once sent overseas, Kim taught them using aggressive tactics that simulated actual combat.

I'd love to know how these people put aside their differences and bonded, but even more interested in a Korean POWs training with Americans that were of Japanese ancestry.

From the original article:

> Its underwater demolition techniques, swim reconnaissance training, and other trailblazing methods were “the beginning vestiges of what would become the Navy SEALs,” says Council.

Just fascinating, I'd like to think these men were brave, but I'm positive they had no other choice and were first seen as the guinea pigs to the higher ups, and they were thinking let's get these Asians to do the crazy shit first and see if it works.
I would add that if you’re in a position to actually exploit this (having a process running on the target computer and an access to exfiltrate the data), there is a good chance that you have access to simpler vulnerabilities than raw memory leaks from the cpu.

The paragraph starting with the sentence "So why is an exchange rate peg a mistake? It’s not necessarily a bad thing — it can help create financial stability. But if you peg your exchange rate at a too-high level, you’re setting your country up for disaster," is a good explainer for the cryptocurrency crisis too, especially those coins that pegged them selves against the dollar.
Does anyone else hate onions as much as I do? They make me gag. If I accidentally eat one (happens often due to sloppy food prep) I just want to vomit. They have the taste and smell of sweaty gym socks mixed with a landfill.
I think it's a bad idea. But I saw a statistic saying the waste oil collected now could satisfy about 2% of the demand, and I think if we looked at thermal depolymerisation and hydroprocessing of other biodegradable waste we could possibly get up to a decent chunk, maybe 20-30%? If done with zero emissions energy that would be pretty carbon neutral.

Not sure where we go after that for aviation, it's definitely one of the most tricky applications for alternate fuels. Maybe efuels would be next for some portion. Hopefully electric aircraft can eventually do regional short haul but I'm not holding my breath on energy densities getting competitive for that to take a huge chunk of aviation any time soon...
The part titled "THE BEST MILK TO USE" is not good advice. UHT (ultra heat treated milk) is far better to use for yoghurt making than normal milk (I say "normal" for someone from the UK where most milk consumed is pasteurised at lower temperatures to avoid denaturing the milk).

Denaturing is a plus for making a yoghurt, and the high temperature also further removes bacteria that may spoil the yoghurt. It also means you don't need to go through the initial heating portion of most recipes and go straight to the fermentation phase at a lower temperature.

>writing has to be among the worst ways to make money, sorry to say

Depends. I left my high paying job and had mostly burned through my savings until selling programming ebooks saved me. Not saying that writing was the best option, but it was the first that started paying my bills consistently. Of course, the fact that my monthly expenses was around $150 helped a lot. I've now written 12 books and the past two years has brought my savings back to a comfortable level.
I have what feels like an infinite backlog of bands and albums I want to listen to.

My quirk is deep dives. I'll discover a new band or style to me, then listen to as much of it as I can. Very often someone's whole catalogue at a time.

I'll occasionally repeat an album many times - recent examples are both Pixvae's albums or Ott's new album Heads (after 8 years waiting)!

> Lambda and these language models are not currently capable maintaining an internal train of thought that isn't expressed as token context.

Why would that necessarily be insufficient for sentience? Sentience is just about the ability to "feel". Whatever "feeling" is, mechanistically, it will be some process that accepts some information and produces some output for these "feelings". It's not obvious that any kind of "memory" has to be part of the input to that process. For all we know, the transformer model is producing feelings as it computes, ie. that the next generated word is selected because it "feels right", where "feels right" simply means it's the most statistically likely word to follow the current token. Can you prove that this isn't basically what that gut feeling is for people?

We don't actually know what "feelings" are fundamentally, so most of the people dismissing LaMDA's sentience don't really understand the can of worms they just stepped in.
The big mistake is in believing there is any value in this- or that-oriented programming, or in a this- or that-oriented language.

An engineer uses what is available to produce an economically balanced solution. Done well, that may involve a few OO-ish bits, some functional bits, data-oriented bits, reactive bits, plus hybrid combinations of those and others. The problem dictates the form of the solution.

Every big-enough problem decomposes into a collection of very different subproblems, each of which so decomposes further. The right approach for the top level rarely matches that for most of its parts, nor each for the others, and likewise down the line.

Unless you want to use a different language for each level and subproblem, you will want support for all "orientations" in your language. Thus, a "functional" or "OO" language is an absurdity; likewise, a "functional", "OO", or what-have-you program. They make as much sense as a saw-oriented carpenter's toolbox or table, or a screwdriver-oriented machinist's toolkit or engine.

Programs should be like water, fluidly matching the shape of the problem solved. If that is 20% functional, 10% O-O, and the rest imperative, so be it. Specialization is for insects.

Everything is Turing complete: you can code a solution in any restricted vocabulary. But that means succeeding proves nothing and benefits nobody, but wasted your time and others'.

Use a language that does it all, and use it all. Not necessarily all on every program; but all styles get consideration for each part.

> In other words, what has changed

It's often a series of mis-steps that lead to catastrophic failures such as being suffered by Srilanka. Here are a few that come to my mind, in no particular order.

1. Tourism took a big hit due to COVID lockdowns.

2. They took on huge debt from China to fund their massive infrastructure developments with close to zero plan as to how to reap the benefit of that infrastructure. For instance this airport[1]

3. The knee jerk banning of fertiliser.

4. Corrupt and authoritarian (despite being democratically elected) government favouring their cronies.

News articles trying to analyse look for a recent bad policy choice such as fertiliser ban but one could see that even 5 years ago that Srilankan economy was being badly managed. The ingredients of catastrophe were there and COVID acted as the catalyst.

If they have some private hill they want to go kill themselves on, then go for it. But we shouldn't be shutting down public infrastructure for this. It would be like saying we should shut down I-95 so douchebags can drag race down it. Horrible idea all around. Having the state encourage this behavior is a great way to get more people TBIs.
Because it's a way to hide the true depth of an issue by boiling it down to % of market cap.

If Congress cared about privacy they would have enacted relevant laws decades ago. They sure were quick to protect their own video rental records when those were weaponized.

The data broker industry is relied upon by the government to sidestep 4A and Congress has been complicit in not regulating them. Because of the attention, there will be some hollow gestures to further protect health data outside the current reach of HIPAA and nothing more.

I'll just add that the brokers don't need app data to get information about menstrual cycles. I sat in a meeting at a long established data broker in the late 90's (pre-Google) where they gushed about their ability to track cycles from purchase records. A lot of detailed personal information can be gleaned with data analysis from seemingly innocuous sources and, without broad data protection laws, none of us are immune to this invasiveness.
