Don’t pick sides.

Read old document written in specific political tradition.

^ That’s where you jumped the shark.

Less biased philosophy might be Camus, or Freire. Camus if you’re feeling cheeky, Freire if you’re feeling academic.

Freire describes forced import of culture and solutions to problems by financiers on people far away. It is far more objective look at freedom than the Constitutions goal of agency capture people far away.

Camus snarks about the absurdity in the belief we can ever truly understand one another given lack of direct access to each other’s bodily states and memory.

Both push back against the idea of allowing external influence to guide us in different ways. The Constitution is an aristocratic doctrine of acceptable forms and limits of state coercion which are routinely ignored. It’s scripture to hold up as an appeal to imagined authority Freire and Camus don’t believe exists.
Let's see who breaks first.
The OP comment said: "AFAIK, NBER has never failed to put the recession stamp on back-to-back drops in GDP."

The comment you replied to gave evidence that directly contradicts the OP comment.
It's all about boosting signal by finding other proteins that are similar, until you get to the point that you can identify a fold to assign to a region of the protein. That's why some are structural, and some are not.

>Furthermore, AlphaFold can function with only a MSA as an input, without retrieving a single PDB coordinate.

Yes, it has a very nice model of what sequences should look like in 3D. That model is derived from experimental data. So if I give AlphaFold an MSA of a new, unknown protein fold (substantively away from any known fold), it cannot predict it.
(OP here) I'm learning that in this case I was lucky that the party was A: identifiable, B: also in CA, C: responsive to a suit, and D: willing to settle out-of-court (mailed me a check). I hadn't realized that collections of a small claims judgement could be super-involved but apparently I was simply naive on that topic.
It seems you make the assumption that “reading Tolkien” means reading the original text in the English vernacular from the mid-20th century. But we still read texts from Latin authors who lived 2000 years ago, albeit translated. It’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but Virgil and Ovid are quite readable.

Even today, a significant part of the readership of the Lord of the Rings already read it translated.

Bearing that in mind, it’s not completely unreasonable to assume that a certain number of people will read it in a millenium.
I'll throw out another "class" of person - someone who believes something, and at least grasps the concept of philosophical reasoning enough that they'll attempt to build one of the basic forms of argument - usually an argument by analogy - and having done so, they'll trumpet their conclusion. Then, commenters will pile in, either being part of the class of people you mention (who will skip reading the argument and just check to make sure the conclusion is what they want) or being part of the same class who will review the argument, stamp a "lgtm!" on it, and upvote/concur. We're right! And look, it's got proof attached, too!

But then even the most amateur student of philosophy, perhaps about 60% of the way through their freshman (mandatory) Philosophy 101 course, would be able to examine the argument and identify mistakes so appallingly obvious that they might be provided as practice problems in their homework. The analogy isn't appropriate; or it begs the question; or it assumes some predicate where their proof may hold if the predicate is true, but the predicate itself must be proven for the conclusion to be substantive.

I see this a lot on reddit. Especially recently due to the abortion debates re-heating. Arguers - regardless of side - are so poorly equipped by our education system, and so poorly incentivized by the highly polarized/tribalistic nature of modern political discourse, that even when people try they're still not making any progress in reasoning about their positions.
they're all unusual at the time

there are too many variables for a circumstance that doesn't happen very often for it to ever be the same
Perhaps you'd care to explain how? AlphaFold does not work on new folds. It ultimately relies on mapping sequence to structure. It does it better than anyone else, and in ways a human probably couldn't, but if you give it a brand new fold with no relation to other folds, it cannot predict it. I routinely areas of extremely low confidence many of my AlphaFold models. I work in organisms that have virtually 0 sequence identity. This is a problem I deal with every day. I wish AlphaFold worked in the way you are suggesting, but it just flat out does not.
A mix of both.

I sell one sponsor slot per edition. The current rate is $250 and I send 8 newsletters per month. This slot is sold out months in advance and the price should probably be bumped up.

I have Amazon affiliate links where it makes sense on the blog posts themselves but this only generates a couple hundred on the best months. I should also invest more time into this going forward.

Democracy has never been in better health - more citizens are politically activated than ever before.

Remember not so long ago we (as in 'the media') were complaining about voter apathy and declining interest in politics? Now those very same voices are complaining that the people are too invested in the political process.

Like it or not, political polarization is political engagement by the people. That increased engagement is in of itself is a cause for alarm says a lot about a system where apathetic citizenry is considered the preferred state

Even just 15 years ago it was nowhere this overt or coordinated. The turning point seems to be shortly after JournoList and CabalList started when different independent media organizations began to collude to push a unified "narrative" rather than the truth.
These days I'm mostly using VSTs... No worries about sorting cables or tracing the cause of feedback... They have improved significantly although many are overpriced and limited to encourage buying add-ons. It's amazing compared to the old days of needing to buy hardware.. I don't lose my more perfect settings, don't need to constantly configure things and work around limitations and incorrect volume levels, and I can even work on my music on a flight just using a laptop (not my first choice of course). Best of all there's no delay in me getting a new synth when I need it most, like on a Sunday when Guitar center is usually closed.
It's always easier to do mental gymnastics than it is to change one's lifestyle.

Seems pretty fitting tbh?

polarization noun [1]
: division into two sharply distinct opposites
especially : a state in which the opinions, beliefs, or interests of a group or society no longer range along a continuum but become concentrated at opposing extremes
political polarization
… the relationship between partisan polarization and legislative gridlock is direct, with stalemate more frequent as the political center shrinks.
— Sarah A. Binder
The drift in our society now is not toward a grouping around the middle, but toward polarization.
— Richard Todd
… the venue where our most fractious … arguments over identity occur: the internet. These arguments do not play out on a democratized playing field where all identities are weighted equally; rather, they play out in a meticulously crafted environment where identities are microtargeted and polarization is amplified by algorithms.
— Emma Levy

Small claims court seems to be one of the only options at that point. While it's still a valid tool, it can be a big pain to go through with it and I'd bet a lot of people would just take the loss. It also assumes a lot of things like being able to locate the party to serve them.
(OP here) In this case the spam text linked to a legit website that clearly belonged to a CA business, which then I was able to find on the CA SoS business search website. I've also found that Terms of Service & Privacy Policy pages usually have a legal address for a company and email for legal concerns.
Or perhaps this shows that most of us aren't capable of or willing to think independently, and just trust whatever information presented to us?

Previously, the authority are more careful in presenting information. Now the social media just recommend whatever that can attract us to the platform, regardless of how ridiculous the information is.

Until I read Hobbes in my late 20s I couldn't see further. Give
Leviathan a go. I suggest an easy way in is to listen to these
lectures on Political Philosophy by prof. Steven B. Smith [2].

Now, Hobbes and Rousseau are flawed thinkers, but the gist of "social
contract" theory still constitutes the foundation of the modern
nations state, whether republic, parliamentary or monarchy.

The failure, as an earlier commenter pointed out to be a "geopolitical
risk" is when we don't uphold our own principles. the Rule of Law that
we in the "west" are so (rightfully) proud of must therefore be as
brutal against the rich and powerful as against the poor.

Without that example to assuage the middle classes everything
gravitates to two poles, those with everything to lose and those with
nothing to lose. Hobbes rightly feared those with nothing to lose
much more (being an aristocrat's teacher at a time of civil war) and
seeing all the fancy lawyers and money in the world won't do you any
good against a hungry peasant with a rifle and nothing left to
protect, so the state must treat the rich and poor as equals.

The extreme options look like Japan on the one hand and Zimbabwe on the other hand.

We’re not going to land on either extreme but I think it’s clear which is the preferred option.

That experience was mine, and I believe most of my college gamer friends.
I didn't attribute the quote to him (very few good things can be directly attributed to Jobs), but it was one of his favorite quotes so I think it directly refutes the Apple Apologism mindset that everything good in modern OSes came from MacOS. Apple didn't invent the mouse or the cursor, and they didn't come up with the keyboard or the floppy drive. The pastiche of a mid-90s computer doesn't resemble a Mac at all.
Yeah, I think that's hard to say without taking into account the issue of social media algorithms. These algorithms purposefully amplify some of the most toxic content out there, so I think gaming the system to harm democracy would be considerably more difficult if social media feeds were just a chronological list of friends' posts.

Even without the algorithm, though, I also believe that humans just aren't evolved to have some kinds of discussions asynchronously, remotely behind a screen. I've found myself needing to disconnect from social media because it leads me to having negative feelings about people that I know I like. E.g. after the overturning of Roe v. Wade there were some posts by family members who I know and love, even though I know we don't share the same politics. After seeing their posts the first thought that went through my mind was "WTF is wrong with these people??" But if we had been discussing it face-to-face, I'm sure we would both have been more respectful of the other person's viewpoint, or at least would have agreed to disagree and move on.

Everyone has seen it (and probably done it) - said something extremely hostile in an online forum that we would never say face-to-face.
I read their account. They only complain of Stripe holding "the" money, from the car. Did they say Stripe locked their account or did any other restrictions?

https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/wa1zob/dont_...

I read a few of their comments their complain seems to be about the $3000 and needing to wait 120 days to get it.

They also say you can't call, but at least for me I'm able to call Stripe here: https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
If our meat animals didn't exist, a lot of other animals would. Animals eat a lot of food that would be available calories for other animals instead, after all.

Also, never existing at all is not a negative, it is null. There is nobody to experience a negative effect of not existing.

So I don't think this is a very good argument.

if you dress a way that you are not, people will get mad, and if you do, they are happy.

this thread wasn't talking about fashion choices anyway. the reason for this is totally uninteresting. we're seeing the circumstances of assets like cars and houses being sold to future people and surviving, and the ones that future people by have less of the prior owner's personality to them.

why are new houses so boxy and drab? consider that the brutalist VA building in Chicago and federal building in boston are equally as historically important, if not more so, than your average twee little crumbling victorian in san francisco. but hey, you can demolish the "ugly" buildings and critically, do something fuck all different with the land, than those absolutely destitute sticks buildings. i don't think the economic stories are interesting.
Are you a machine? This is how machines act. "NO BOUNDARY DETECTED - PROCEEDING!" without any context awareness.

Why not instead be considerate and respectful for others' work by not ruining it? Road workers don't always have perfect boundaries and yet I hope you don't just go step into their paint while reciting your constitutional rights. This is the same thing without the paint.
I won’t use the word “serious” but my limited personal experience is that C# feels like the right balance between flexibility and performance.

Rust is a joy to write in but I personally find that it asks a lot from you when you just want to ship a game that doesn’t need to be safety rated.

C++ is a great choice but it’s C++ and I’m just not good enough to enjoy a language with fewer guardrails. It also has similar verbosity issues to Rust and (likely because I’m a noob) eats up a lot of my time chasing dumb bugs rather than making a game.

I do most of my game dev in TypeScript because it’s a wonderful language and web is a great platform to easily ship toy games (my specialty). But it just isn’t fast enough for anything major.

Tldr: "So that's what I think Tom is. He's Tolkien's version of what a pagan survival would have looked like in Middle Earth. He doesn't quite fit because he's from the bit of Middle Earth that is England, or a version of England, and from a different set of stories. "
> I have fond memories of many 2600 titles that are contenders for the title of “worst video game”: E.T., Superman, and Pac-Man

A lot of famous movie themed games sucked back then because of the same reason: game producers wanted to easily cash on fans wanting to purchase anything with that movie title on, and with usually a very short time span at disposal before the craze waned, they put together the smallest crap necessary to allow that title on the box. I soon learned to ignore any game taken from famous movies, except the Indiana Jones themes ones later on the Amiga, but they already had a functioning engine and making a point and click adventure was just a matter of design following some movie parts plots and aesthetics.
Clone xous, run a make command, you get an emulated precursor running it. Go to town.
Maybe it comes down to a difference of how people approach books? Do you think that everything in a book should ultimately have an effect on the story? Do you think Hugo's descriptions in Les Misérables contribute to the story, or that it should only ever be read in an abridged version?

Personally, I think those things (and Tom!) do contribute a lot to the story, so maybe that's why I liked Tom. There's more to writing than simply telling a story and making everything pertinent to that, and thus there's more to reading. Of course, I also like worldbuilding and would read D&D manuals simply for that, without ever playing sometimes, so another reason why I liked Tom, but I can't help but wonder if it's split into two camps because of how people approach reading and literature.
I noticed that my friends could always find me at the ski resort because I wore an orange ski cap.

Rocks when dropped will eventually fall. You can catch the rock and hold on to it, but will eventually put it down, you can do something crazy like build a wind machine that keeps the rock afloat, but entropy demands the machine go out one day and the rock will fall.

Best case is you catch the rock, and put it down gently so it doesn't break, but rock will go down.
Hardly, Ealing has already built more homes than required by planning, with more on the way.

Huge tower block going up right near where I live. New houses in front of me, and more planned behind in the next 5 years.

Very few of those homes will be affordable. So while there will be more people packed into the same area, it won't really help the urban homeless.
Well, either one of the following things must be true:

- I am misremembering the past

- The published record misrepresents the past

- The motivations at the time were not visible to the community (i.e. the published record is correct and I am not misremembering but that's because the user community never saw it)

I suppose the last one is really the most likely.
It's admittedly in a different part of the book, so may be linguistic styling rather than lore-indicative, but the Old Forest felt more "wild" than "evil."

In the Old Forest, there were certainly dangers, including some lethal ones, but loosely organized and operating independently. More druidic.

Whereas Sauron / Morgoth were far more hierarchical in structuring their domains, exerted dominion over their forces, and attempted to implement a master plan.
The reasonable counterargument to this is that you are comparing the actual pain and suffering of real, existing animals, to the potential life of animals who do not currently exist. "What happens if we stop raising livestock?" means that no further cows will be born to a life of suffering. That's...really it. Those hypothetical animals aren't floating around in the aether wishing someone would just have let them be born.
So the author is pro life I would assume...?
Price controls on medicine in Europe have worked very well compared to America's "free market" by pretty much any measure.
Well, I'm glad there's a diversity of opinions and hope there's healthy debate and a reasonable outcome is reached that minimizes the suffering and maximizes the personal agency of all parties. Peace is always the best, but not always possible.
> It seems to me that since the rise of social media, politicians are voting in a way that's less representative of their constituents, not more.

A consideration: Could it also be that the politicians are voting quite like before, it is just that social media made you much more aware of the fact that this voting behavior is not representative of the wishes of their voters?
Looks fine to me. If the modifier were placed at the end of the title it would be misplaced and would imply what you've said.

gdscript is dynamically typed. If you have the large arrays of structs common in gamedev, then all data members are boxed, significantly increasing memory usage compared to something like C#.
Yep. Wayland is nice, and there are components in it that I like, but it gets destroyed by x11 in terms of feature-completeness. Even adding wlroots doesn't get close to the out-of-the-box capabilities x11 offered.

> Is it really that hard to grasp it?

Yes, it is. Are they intentionally not buying the second hand PHEVs Which will probably still be available to buy new at this point? Are they picking their cars at random? Or do they run some kind of rough calculation of expected running costs for their intended usage before they decide to buy it?

If so then the ones that only need 50km daily range can buy the BEV and save on gas, and the other ones can buy the PHEVs and still save on gas, which will probably be pretty expensive since we're talking about the year 2040 at the minimum if they really need to get a car exactly 10 years old, rather than their usual limit of up to 30 year old cars. People happy with 30 yeor old cars will only start to have problems car shopping in the 2060s

One of the stated goals is which enforces this by causing the compiler to emit a diagnostic upon any uses that are after the move function, so they may say it will be part of the standard library, but the compiler will have to know what it does, just as a C compiler can assume what strlen (if #included from the right system header) does and inline it any way it wishes.
I appreciate that!
is there any effort to a public trusted shared cache?
BTW, in terms of protein dynamics, before you even think about the thrashing around- 1.2kt at room temperature is enough to form and break hydrogen bonds in real time (around 1-2kcal) so presumably, protein h-bonds are breaking and reforming spontaneously at scale.
Walking onto a set without permission is inconsiderate and disruptive because the crew is working very, very hard to make something happen and his presence isn't helpful. He effectively got lucky that he didn't mess something up and accidentally force the crew to work longer and harder than they have to. There's a reason the entire job of some production assistants is just to keep random people off set.
It's surprisingly hard to do on a budget, since you're essentially locked into Xeon products and while CPUs are available used, getting a motherboard to support them isn't easy. The combo in this post, or waiting for a a full system to show up on ebay are probably the only real options. I'm really looking forward to DDR5 getting wide adoption, as that's really going to expand our options.
