I’m not far from this position, because on the face of it, privacy is only a claim proven false with the loss of privacy. Meanwhile, I still use Facebook to check on my family, etc.

>It has tourist amenities without really being touristy

All the results it gave are flooded with tourists, and some of them are among the most expensive you can get in Croatia. :shrug:

Unsure of what to think of the results, as it seems to have very little relevance to the input description other than being in Croatia and being tourist spots.
It's literally how western medicine works. (Exaggeration incoming) You have diabetes? Never mind the fact that you eat unhealthy and live a sedentary life. We're just gonna give you insulin so that you can keep surfing on your high-sugar diet. The human body did not evolve to eat so much sugar and sit all day. The body needs to move just as much as it needs good nutrients.

Generative AI Course released -- Almost immediately Bestseller
Yes, yes, yes!
After more than a year (no joke) of dedicated work, I dare to officially announce that we have released the online course about generative AI.

Actually, we released it already 4 months ago - under the radar, sort of speak.
Aiming for a high-quality online course, it was important for us to incorporate the feedback of the first 150 students before we go on the big stage of LinkedIn.

This is the course’s link: https://www.udemy.com/course/generative-ai/?referralCode=6A16021D86142A4EAB93

What is the course about?
- Generative Artificial Intelligence - the field of AI that generates data.

Why generative AI?
To just name a few reasons:
- Generate all kinds of data (eg. Images, videos, 3d images, time series, etc.)
- Augment datasets to potentially improve machine learning performances
- Stay up-to-date with AI trends (Generative AI is one of the 12 most relevant tech trends according to Gartner)

Lastly, I’d be really grateful if you could assist me and spread the word. Every share, comment, and like helps us tremendously. (The LinkedIn-Algo penalises external links.)

I promise, we keep updating the course to stay relevant to our students.

A shout out to the team with deep gratitude:
- Karen Carlin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-carlin-8a6903148/) in charge of design: course design, web page, and video editing.
- Maria Alfreda (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-alfreda-a58888146/) in charge of collaboration ventures (more to come).

Feel free to reach out to me,

I think the idea of using perceptually uniform luminance in the different colors makes a lot of sense. Most light color schemes suffer from too much variance in luminance I think and your light color scheme looks balanced.

Uniform luminance was one of my own main goals when I updated the original Monokai palette to https://monokai.pro. I first experimented with mathematical values based on CIElab, and dove into obscure color lighting models to see if I could come up with some clever mathematics to prove my color scheme in a scientific way. But somehow these algorithmic colors never looked nice and "fun" for lack of a better word.

In the end I adjusted every color manually. So, Monokai Pro is not perfect science, but for me it somehow works.

The official numbers will be from an optimal test rig, but someone did do a more "realistic" folding screen test recently by flipping a Flip3 manually until it died.

Samsung rates it for 200,000 folds, and it lasted 418,500 folds before the hinge failed, with the screen actually still working.

Joking aside, this is Marvin Minsky's paper "Jokes and their Relation to the Cognitive Unconscious", published in Cognitive Constraints on Communication, Vaina and Hintikka (eds.) Reidel, 1981:

https://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/jokes.cognitive.txt

>Abstract: Freud's theory of jokes explains how they overcome the
mental "censors" that make it hard for us to think "forbidden"
thoughts. But his theory did not work so well for humorous nonsense
as for other comical subjects. In this essay I argue that the
different forms of humor can be seen as much more similar, once we
recognize the importance of knowledge about knowledge and,
particularly, aspects of thinking concerned with recognizing and
suppressing bugs -- ineffective or destructive thought processes.
When seen in this light, much humor that at first seems pointless, or
mysterious, becomes more understandable.

I’m not sure the, everyone is in debt, is a good explanation for what you’re seeing. Everyone is in debt but that doesn’t allow you to sustainably live beyond your means. Sure you’ll get a small bump on your way to maxing out your credit cards but it won’t take long to reach your limit and then you’re worse off than you were before.

I think a better explanation is small inheritances. I think there are a number of people that have come into small inheritances. Enough to change their situation but not enough to move out of their social circles and because of that they’re very unlikely to let you know.

Say someone gets $500k from their uncle. Not a small sum of money but not a gigantic inheritance. You’re not going to immediately retire if you get that but you might pay off your mortgage. Now ask yourself what your lifestyle might be if someone came along and wiped out your mortgage. Now that Jeep or Audi might not be such a big deal and your looking at them thinking, “how on earth can they be doing that? They’re working the same job I am and I can’t do that”.
> Some psychiatrists raise the concern that evolutionary psychologists seek to explain hidden adaptive advantages without engaging the rigorous empirical testing required to back up such claims.

That's putting it very mildly. Not that it's impossible that depression is an evolutionary trait, but that whole page is a bunch of highly contradicting, unprovable "this is deep" philosophy. It isn't even clear how to diagnose depression, what the underlying causes are, and if people were depressed 50,000 years ago. They all assume there has to be some benefit. There isn't a theory that argues it's just a negative effect of some other beneficial development. They don't even tell how developing depression could possibly positively affect procreation.
To me his legacy might be something like “Godfather of VR. He set the bar high and pushed the market to strive for it. For some reason he handed the keys to the wrong people before it really hit big, but thankfully he also gave us _____ and _____.”

While I hope we get the closure of finding out why he sold to FB, I think he still has much to bring to the world.
I was wrong about the last part of my comment. It isn’t entirely 3D touch specific.

From the original post:

“Fast forward to today, the trackpad mode and selection feature technically still exist albeit in a lesser form. If you long press (aka hold down) on the spacebar of your touch screen keyboard (which works on iPad too) you can get into trackpad mode.”

Also confirmed by another commenter in this thread.

Maybe Linux would have gained more traction if OEMs were shipping it? But instead they had to pay for a Windows license anyways so may as well ship that...

And had it shipped on OEM machines that might have attracted more third party devs too. And they could have sold crapware if they wanted as well. It's impossible to say for certain that MS's policies had no impact on the desktop computer space.

As for 2, well that depends how hard is it to get a browser? Can I just open a store or repo and grab one or do I have to sneakernet it on there? I don't think it has to be a bad experience to have a barebones system if done right.

Using a touch screen as a keyboard when it's folded in laptop mode just looks painful.

If the technical issues could be ironed out, folding phones would seem to make a lot of sense theoretically since it would be great a device that's small in your pocket but has more screen real estate when you're using, but this device doesn't seem like it would be that pleasant to use even if it worked perfectly.

Is there a similar device on the market right now?

A 'bigger version' by two orders of magnitude surface wise certainly seems innovative to me, I'm not aware of another company risking their reputation on something like this at present but I'll be happy to be corrected.

There was an intel proof-of-concept but I'm not aware of anything that was actually available to the public.

Keep in mind that what looks trivial to you ('just a bigger version') may require an enormous amount of engineering to make it reliable enough for mass consumption.
I was not aware of the new algorithm, thanks for bringing that up!

Meeting the minimum values for body text in this new standard is unfortunately straight up impossible if you want to maintain uniform chroma for the syntax colouring as the contrast requirements are simply too strict and the sRGB colour space too small. I’ll try to read through all the justifications at some point and aim to meet their goals as best as possible once I understand them.

Luckily the high contrast version is already very close to meeting the standard for fluent text and also has maximum chroma so at least there’s already a version that’s at least usable under these guidelines.

The tool you linked is great and honestly if it would be updated to use OKLab instead of CIELab and allowed for additional constraints, would make my efforts obsolete. As it is, they are using maximum chroma per hue and non-uniform hue differences (plus CIELab has hue prediction errors in the first place).

1. Casual conversation and weather reports. It's quicker and easier to discuss whole numbers. Also the decade ranges offer more precision, so the 10s, 20s and 30s C cover roughly the same range as the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s F, which can be useful. It's not uncommon to discuss the weather in those terms.

2. Adjusting the temperature on a digital climate control interface. You generally just have up and down arrows so you're going to be dealing with fixed increments, and it's convenient for those to be whole numbers.

A minor advantage to be sure, but I think this is what people mean when they say it's better for atmospheric temperatures.
Well first off the strategy will be to embrace the LEGO like assembly method but to extend it with a few other useful connectors that people will find really useful, and in a decade should be able to extinguish the old fashioned Boxen.
Most suburban homeowners will vote against anything that they believe will reduce their home values. It doesn't matter if their home value is $200k or $200M. Same result.

You'd actually think that a multibillionaire who owns a mansion would be less sensitive to fluctuations in home values, since their wealth is usually contained in other assets (unlike the average American homeowner, for whom their home is likely where the majority of their net worth is). If Andreessen were to accidentally light $200M of his own cash on fire, he'd come through it, lifestyle unscathed.

You're making personal attacks because an artist came along, said "here's why this doesn't work," and when you didn't listen and tried to lecture them about the Readme, they weren't moved, because despite the original author's goals, it still doesn't work

The artist isn't being arrogant. You ignored what they said and talked down to them, and they stood their ground. Now you're acting like they're doing something wrong, and publicly criticizing them.

No, it's not arrogance. It's just that you are arguing without understanding.
I did the SQLite challenge in two languages and it's a very small subset of SQL. For instance it's sufficient if you're implementation of WHERE only accepts equals expressions with a column name on the left and a string value on the right.

But the great thing about their challenges is that they have you build some kind of sandbox that you can experiment on top of and try expand it with more features.
"Faith" is a word that encapsulates the concept "belief without evidence is virtuous".

It's unsurprising that religions push the idea of faith. It's not generally a valued behavior in any other context.
Speaking of comedy juggling acts:

I was watching The Flying Karamazov Brothers performing their amazing comedy juggling act on stage, when they suddenly all messed up at once and dropped their pins, which caused the entire audience to burst out in uproarious laughter.

Taken aback, they asked the audience: "Are you laughing AT US or WITH IS?"

The audience unanimously replied together at once: "AT YOU!!!"

They smugly shouted back: "Gesundheit!!!"

I agree. While I didn't make an effort to actually understand the approach here, N3020 was the one that I disliked because it solves too small of an issue in practice and there probably can't be a simple enough solution. Any solution is probably complicated because the issue is only a symptom really.

The real issue, in my eyes is, that "const" simply doesn't transfer well across function call boundaries. "const" is always only a local judgement - data that is const for one function is not necessarily const for another function. I've even read an old conversation where Dennis Ritchie was uttering concerns about const when it was initially designed.

Typically I use the const keyword only for global static data, because there it makes a real technical difference. Sometimes I declare function pointer parameters as pointer-to-const, partly for reasons of documentation, but I'm always aware of the strstr() issue.

This is a misunderstanding of C++ principles, not an anti-C++ rant.

In C++, it is intentionally not straightforward to know what code gets called when a statement is executed - even without namespaces. We have:

* Function overloads

* Non-trivial (and not-built-in) implicit conversions

* Non-trivial copy and move constructors

* Template and concept resolution, which can be tricky

* Operator overloads, so that foo[n] or bar() may do something very different than what you expect.

And if you add in macros to the mix, you can really go crazy. For example, in this SO answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70328397/1593077 I explain how to implement an infix operator which lets us write:

int x = whatever();
if ( x is_one_of {1, 3, 42, 7, 69, 550123} ) {
do_stuff(x);
}

C is simply not that kind of language (well, macros notwithstanding I suppose).
1. Indeed, there were serious trials before those were made available and prescribed. Those trials have to demonstrate that the medicine is better than placebo effect. I personally don't like to hand-wave away those trials to "big pharma bought them".

2. Yes, I inadvertently forgot to take a pill one day and only realized the next day. Coincidentally I felt depressed that day. It could only be a coincidence but I'm firmly convinced it's not. I'm not going to try to replicate the experiment though (especially since doing it on purpose could induce a placebo effect).

Edit: see answer, I'm probably wrong on that 2.

I'm not disagreeing with the overall point, but when you say:

> there's a community that that's attempting to draw tourist money to their location, and probably create a thriving economy

Usually that's not how it works (at least from first-hand experience). It's about a local business/mafia trying to draw tourist money while exploiting cheap labor from the local community. Let's not even get started on the scheming to privatize public beaches, environmental pollution (noise, lights, trash) and other shenanigans the tourist industry is creating to the detriment of local communities.
