> These are western propaganda estimates from biased sources.

These are visually verified numbers, not even the numbers being claimed by Ukraine, if you want to improve them you can always point out duplicates and they will removed if they are actually duplicates. The real number is likely higher because not all losses will be photographed.

> Russian sources claim 7-10000 casualties (deaths and wounded)

Russian sources also claimed they weren't even going to invade the day before the invasion happened. Russian casualties are nearly guaranteed to be fake.

> Taking into account that Russia has neither mobilized nor deployed its actual army yet, and that most of the fighting is being done by locals and volunteers from the disputed regions, I fail to see the significance of "massive casualties" much less people state that "Ukraine is winning".

The VDV and Spetsnaz are both in Ukraine, are they not part of the 'actual army'?. In the least we know that the VDV has suffered massive losses, even just the videos of the gravestones in Russia should show you that Russias casualties are numbers are likely very fake.

If Ukraine isn't winning, why is Russias progress so slow?, Kyiv is less than 300km from the Russian and they still haven't made it there yet. Id consider being in month 6 of a '3 day special military operation' to be winning.

> Anyone that looks at the events with a modicum of objectivity should admit that it looks super-dire for Ukraine and the only thing Ukrainians can hope for given current trajectories is further devastation.

Yeah Ukraine has been devastated and lots of Ukrainians (both soldiers and civilian) are dying in the war, but Russia is suffering huge losses too, how else do you explain Russias fielding of old equipment (such as the T62)?. If Ukraine didn't put any resistance it would be even worse, Russia has been committing genocide with impunity in Ukraine and the only thing really standing in there way is the Ukrainian armed forces.
The best way to prevent cheating in an online test is to set a strict time limit. That way its harder for them to look up the answers on Google etc. The problem then is that a student may experience technical difficulties out of their control. For cases like that, students should be able to appeal for extra time.
This will mean more tests in proctored test centers like Pearson VUE.

Many students and professionals taking tests cheat casually and without embarrassment: It is seen as simply an efficient way to maximize grades.
What's the point in looking for loopholes in my analogy lol. It was just what came up in my mind first.

In her own words:

"No one would listen and I was determined – and that was it, I ruined my career. I stopped making films and I started campaigning for children to be given a fair deal online. Cut to 10 years later, this is what I do.”
I think we're just having different conversations here.
We are definitely in the period where we are seeing the limits of scalability of current technology. Google et al. eliminated customer service, schools are educating on a massive scale, etc.

We always have the option of oral onsite exams as has been custom for many years, and accept that education does not scale excessively.

We can also keep developing surveillance tech and other AI solutions to the problem and handle the ethical issues.

In the end it will probably become a balance.

The purpose of a life peerage is status. If it confers negative status, then it's no problem to rename the House of Lords as the Senate and call them Senators, a la Canada, instead of Baronesses.

This is absurd FUD.

A digital euro, if it ever happens at all, would be created with the same rules as euro proper (the vast majority of "paper" euro is actually digital, and put into general circulation as the ECB purchases securities at digital auctions), which makes it a different way to keep track of transactions, rather than a different currency.
I'm not looking for loopholes, I think it's a fine analogy (because I would say 'I like chillies'!), I'm just trying to understand the distinction you're making, or rather what value/meaning it provides.

I guess it should fit your "centralized private search engine for my house" application quite well.
You literally wrote:

And now you write:

Which one is it?

Also, there are different species, I've eaten lots of different chili, I've eaten whole raw Bhut Jolokias, that was not pleasant, I didn't like it, it hurt a lot and the taste was not nice either.
Lots of milder species are lovely to eat raw, they have a mild burn which I do find enjoyable, and they have a fresh sweet flavor which tastes great.
I'm not so sure about it. Maybe I'd do the Jersey Shore thing, but if someone offered me enterprise sales job at twice what I make as a coder, I wouldn't take it.

(If it was $1m per year, and my middling performance would be acceptable, I'd probably take it though).

It is an interesting study but why would an anti-microbial agent act as an animal deterrent. A goat or a monkey would disperse the seeds if not for capsaicin.

Love this story! I had a similar experience, in that Summer '96 my work experience placement was an IT dept at a London hospital, and they had all manner of Sun SPARC stations and DEC Alpha boxes. After the 2 week placement (my sole task was to learn how to install Red Hat 3.0.3 (Picasso!) on a spare PC they had), they gave me the Infomagic Linux Developer's Resource as a gift, and I then spent another month getting it working on my Packard Bell PC ;-D. Anyway, having discovered Phrack magazine I found reference to the Cuckoo's Egg, and my local library carried it. It's still, to this day, the only book I've devoured in just over one day - and probably the only time I've ever hit flow state while reading. It was an amazing read - thank you, Cliff!
I thought the author would revisit the 90s discovery of "supertasters," people who have a heightened sense of taste. (People who like hot peppers usually have a diminished taste sensitivity and are not supertasters.) https://apnews.com/article/ee0a2d08c57a937913c86f53541d0e80

As a mid-career engineer, I had to renew a professional certification during the Covid-19 times. That recertification was set up as a proctored online exam.

After 15 minutes of removing random stuff from my desk, under my desk, on my walls, including but not limited to disassembling a wall-mounted TV set, as instructed by the proctor, I gave up. I rented an office at a co-working place that was sterile white. Then they tried to accuse me of using camera-modifying software to add a background, because "no room is that clean".

If we do keep up this proctored test-at-home system, we need to have a workable way to make sure the testing room still works out as a living space after the test.

What does it matter if it's true? Many artists won't even know if it was true or not, because, for the many of the most revolutionary ones, the recognition only comes many years after their death. For others, it may never come, due to confluence of irrelevant factors (let's say they were writing in a very niche language). If the artist believe in what they're doing, whether or not people recognize it is secondary and not something they should worry about too much.

Design better tests. If you can "cheat" on a test by just googling things/looking at notes then the test isn't testing anything but rote memorization anyway.

In case the link you mentioned isn’t about that mid range headphone, it’s probably about the beyerdynamics T1.

Besides talking about audio equipment: I hate the sites on google who update the dates of their articles although the content wasn’t changed. Happens way to often.

Imo you are setting the wrong priorities for a search engine.

One alternative to loading models in .py scripts is making use of joblib's dump() and load() methods for pipelines.
https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/generated/joblib.dum....

That way, if you put your classifiers in joblib pipelines, once you're done with fitting steps you can just export your trained classifier with:

joblib.dump(pipe, "trained_classifier.dump")

And resume your work with:

joblib.load("trained_classifier.dump")

Considering this works for any Python object, a lot of heavy lifting can be exported for later (swift) use this way.

I can't tell you how it will be, of course, but I can share my experience.

It's going to be tough (in a way), but skip to the end for the good news.

Small children are completely dependent on adults. Most of their needs can't be skipped or postponed according to your schedule, so there's that. Children are hungry or need a nappy change, it can't wait. So most things will revolve around that.

Children get sick (and that's natural). Their immune system is learning, so they catch many things and need trips to the doctor, night nursing, lots of crying, etc. Fortunately, with modern medicine most things aren't dangerous, but it will tire you physically and mentally.

Children need stimulation. Believe me, playing games, teaching them, tickling their intellect will pay off hugely. I alway resisted the temptation of just giving them a tablet with flashy images or turning on the TV. This will probably remove any "spare time" you have, but make them curious and stimulate the imagination, you will definitely see incredible results in a couple of years.

Now the good news, for the people that have a healthy relationship, atter as little as 3 or 4 years, you will get your best little buddy. When you start sharing inside jokes, when you can discuss the plot of your favourite cartoon, when they say "I love you", it will bring tears to your eyes. It's an incredible feeling.

Quite frightening and most just throw whatever it is in your hands away. So yes animals can be smart.
