The world is full of these "conflict" spillovers into civilian life in europe right now. Palastinians vs Israelis (or Jews in general), Kurds vs Turks, Shiits vs Sunnits, Wahabi vs all, Thai Royalists vs Students, CCP controlled student chapters vs those with no family ties to the mainland. Also the remnants of old war and warcrimes, being used in these show up time and time again. Todays japanese are dragged for the WW2 crimes through the mud by some old geezers.

The ideals have decayed, another great game is in full swing and these stories of the past, are great to prevent any discussion of the present and to feel selfrightous while comitting similar crimes on a smaller scale. Nobody is really interested in preventing these atrocities, a ton of people are interested in keeping them alive as ammonition.
Blue is clearly "even" and yellow is definitely "odd". I will grant some lee-way with the rest.

Kidding aside, I had undiagnosed synesthesia pretty bad when I was a kid, but I learnt to ignore it as I grew. Now I am aware of "solidness" associated with "Wednesday", or "blue" with 8, or "sharpness" with "yellow", but these are not intrusive or confusing. For me, they aren't a 1 to 1 mapping. 3 is yellow but it's also orange and so is 7. Dunno.
You can get there, mate. Good luck!
+x isn't as concerning as world-writable. This basically allows any user to escalate to root privileges through exploiting sysctl parameters like kernel.modprobe (albeit after a reboot).
Fascism is when the state stops blocking projects. The less projects get blocked, the more fascist it is.

The AI is just a tool they used to produce an image. They could have written another type of computer program and produced something that would be called, for example, generative art.

The headline is clickbaity; a human won an art contest with a piece of art that was the output of a computer program.
Authors. In books.

Sometimes as bibliographies, sometimes as footnotes, sometimes mentioned in acknowledgements.

One form I find particularly useful though it's seldom used is a bibliographic note. The one by William Ophuls in Plato's Revenge was sufficiently useful that I typed it out (and added links to sources or names where possible) here:

One of the big reasons why data driven approaches are so seductive is, it's very difficult in the moment to distinguish between a good argument and a well crafted rationalization.
Seems like it would be the same reason as any, keeping the driver in place.
If a producer hires actors, directors, and writers to create a movie, is that movie without intention and is the producer just a client? (Devil’s advocate stance here; I actually really like your argument).

> No one is depending on it. Security is an onion. The more layers, the better.
>
> I still haven't read a good argument on why that layer has to be removed at all.

The article is a good place to start. The privileged port security theater means that there have been generations of exploits caused by code which either ran as root when it would otherwise not be necessary, didn't correctly drop privileges, or had some kind of exploitable hand-off between a process running as root which has the bound port.

I mention that because it's important to understand for the first point: layering can be useful if it's not duplicative – in this case, this is better handled by firewall policies which are a complete solution — but there's been a cost in exploitable security bugs and complexity due to what the original author described as a gross hack. When the benefits are minimal, those costs should guide the decision — and since the two other popular operating systems have already done this, it's pretty hard to make the case that this gives us a benefit worth keeping.

The talk over regulation is a bit of a red herring.

A lot of those phenomenons can be explained by the Baumol disease. See e.g. "why are the prices so damn high" https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019/05/wh...

> In approaching this question I had some ideas in mind. I assumed that regulation, bloat and bureaucracy, monopoly power and the Baumol effect would each explain some of what is going on. After looking at this in depth, however, my conclusion is that it’s almost all Baumol effect. That conclusion radically changes one’s evaluation of price increases and decreases over the long run and it changes what, if anything, one might try to do to address such price changes.

Took a look.

Trollface:
Disambiguation of lines in the source image is poorly executed. The model appears confused as to whether those lines are indicative of depth, or lighting artifacts. The shape and perspective are poorly chosen, and in all the resulting images the lighting arrangement is quite inconsistent.

The ears are completely unspecified, so too the nose. This is somewhat of a deliberate omission in a trollface, and adding them in without careful thought as to how it changes the piece is... Well, not the best move. The eyes are terribly arranged in all submissions.

The plate of meat, fries, and beans. You can barely see the beans in the first sample, they are hidden underneath the fries, enough that an inattentive eye may miss them entirely. No specifi ation was given as to the state of the meat, or kind, so I suppose the being cut is a nice bonus. Interesting in a sense since one may get the impression the model may have confused the grammatical deep structure such that "fries and beans" was taken as a compound predicate.

The second with the meat surrounded by the beans is an interesting contrast, but without more samples, I have questions about why all the curated samples include rare beef instead of say, sausage.

The Colloseum:
I too could use Photoshop, and select a particular palate. The more interesting aspect here seems to be the color pallete processing, and I'll admit that I wasn't able to find source works of the artist being initated to compare against. Still looking for those.

The Unicorn/Butterfly:
These still disturb me in the sense that once again, we're replacing actual artistic technique, with the ability to tweak prompts or assemble graphical starting states/prompt combos. Is it making some hellish form of combined Natural Language/graphical programming pipeline? Yes.

However, none of this would have any value without being trained on works done by previous artists who likely were not asked whether or not they wanted their works included in the dataset.

As the guy who blew up a Philosophy of Art class by positing that a well executed forgery was as much a work of Art as the imitated piece, I still see here more problems than solutions. Yes, a new art form may have emerged. However, with it comes serious questions around data curation practices. As for the efficacy of the model/runtime characteristics/how this bodes for the environment... I'm increasingly concerned the more I apply ny "what if everyone started doing this?" supposition.

In short, see a hell of a lot of hype, but precious lite coming to terms with what will ultimately be the hard questions.
He is using a 555 timer chip to measure the subtle changes in capacitance, and feeding it into two pulse counter inputs that the C64 has. Every video cycle, he pulls the values from those counters, and then resets them.

He then maps the values from that into frequency/volume values that he feeds into the SID chip and that produces the sound.
This is kind of a nitpick but it actually wasn't even radiography, it wasn't for imaging, it was for radiation therapy - blasting cancer with radiation to kill it. So it was even more dangerous than it might sound :( definitely something that should not have safety controlled by software.

There was also a horrible disaster with someone taking the radioactive material from a machine like that in an abandoned hospital and messing around with it at home. People died in both incidents.
This reminds me a lot of the discussion of the scientific method by Karl Popper, and David Deutsch who was very influenced by Popper. "Being data-driven" sounds very empirical. Just look at the data, and see what you find in it.

But you can't just let the data "speak for itself" without an explanation or a theory that interprets the data. Popper in Conjectures and Refutations:

> Observation is always selective. It needs a chosen object, a definite task, an interest, a point of view, a problem. And its description presupposes a descriptive language ... which in its turn presupposes interests, points of view, and problems.

Deutsch, in The Beginning of Infinity, emphasizes the importance of conjecture, and the role of observation as refuting or criticising those conjectures:

> Where does [knowledge] come from? Empiricism said that we derive it from sensory experience. This is false. The real source of our theories is conjecture, and the real source of our knowledge is conjecture alternating with criticism. We create theories by rearranging, combining, altering and adding to existing ideas with the intention of improving upon them. The role of experiment and observation is to choose between existing theories, not to be the source of new ones. We interpret experiences through explanatory theories, but true explanations are not obvious.

To bring this back to the subject of the article, I might suggest that it's possible to be "data driven" without a sound explanation or theory that the data is either interpreted through, or used to criticise. Or maybe such theories do exist, but are left implicit.
Sometimes you can't see the screw in computer racks. If you have to pull the screwdriver off even so slightly it might be difficult to get back on the screw head. Ratcheting negates this slight issue.

I don't think Devs are lower on some kind of "hierarchy level" than CS students. But they have less time.
That is all. The article wants devs to learn completly new CS concepts without also saying that they need payed time to do so, as they otherwise have to learn in their free time for their job.
Actually yes. Lots of the masters had huge teams of people working with them. Not all paintings by X are done exclusively (or even mostly) by the hand of X.

Do you have a source for that cost attribution? Based on my time there (slightly more recent than yours), that breakdown feels roughly correct. However, I've been trying to find similar information and have found it difficult even for public universities.
Let's hope there's not too much else wrong with you.
I strongly believe there is also

a*) Get hired, collect paychecks until somebody notices, but then still stay employed because the KPI of a HR person in a fast-growing company is to fill seats, and firing people, no matter how terrible they are at their job, goes against that.
> I can't talk while I dance as I need to concentrate on getting the moves right (it's a well known style of dance, not just club dancing)

I recognize that feeling! It took me a long time before it disappeared. Practice helps a lot. And if you forget a move, it's okay to get back to the basic (assuming you are doing a partner dance and not a line dance - I suck at line dances).

I don't know which style of dance you mean. You may consider different dance styles.

I did a bit of ballroom in grad school, then years later learned salsa, then added tango, then some swing and other dance styles (modern, Scottish country, Swedish folk dance).

Each one has a different social scene. Where I lived, tango tends towards older people, and is usually combined with a social/café scene (a milonga). "Older" means 40s and up.

Salsa is more at clubs. As a bouncer once pointed out, he loved the energy of the dancers, but they don't drink much so it doesn't make much revenue for the bar.

It took a couple of years of salsa classes, and dancing salsa elsewhere, before I realized that I didn't like the salsa style my teacher taught, and preferred another studio. So that's also something to consider.

Swing tended to be a younger, more energetic crowd (late teens/20s), with dance events at more specialized locales that had more open space (where I was, that was generally a yoga/dance studio or the OddFellows Hall, which hosted a lot of smaller dance events).

My limited ballroom experience was that the higher levels tend towards ballroom studios. I got the feeling that engineers lean towards ballroom because there are more specific steps and progressions to learn.

The folk dancing scene is pretty laid back. The basics aren't hard to learn, and people will help you with them. It's the most family-friendly of the dances I did, with quieter music, and more often held outside (if the weather is good) because it doesn't need a special dance floor.

For what it's worth, at my peak I was dancing about 25 hours per week. I met my wife at a dance event, held at bar.

Other things I did, to meet people, were local community college classes (as a new resident to the state, I like the local state history course the best; the teacher also hosted a monthly local history event, which I went to - nearly everyone was 55 and older so I was the youngest by far) and Sierra Club hikes.

HDFS was closely modelled after GFS . So the question maybe would be if progress was made here: we have OrangeFS, SwiftFS, CephFS, CassandraFS . Then for HPC there is lustreFS. Most focus is though on object storage though. We use CEPH and Lustre and I am quite happy. I wonder if there really is a concrete demand FOSS cannot serve. Also most of us are not hyperscalers...

I'm sure many want the land that their families lost long ago when Israel was established and plenty of Palestinians are enraged enough by the ongoing human rights abuses that they suffer that they'll curse the Israeli state. Some will even say some pretty radical shit about it, probably similar to what Ukrainians might say of the invading Russians, or even what some Irish said of the Brits back during their independence struggle.

However if you were to right now offer the people of Palestine a guaranteed peace with a two-state solution based on the Oslo accords they would overwhelmingly vote to accept it. I don't think you could say the same of anyone who describes themselves as a Zionist. Though I don't know how widespread that belief is among the Israeli population, it's entirely likely a similar majority in Israel would be satisfied with such a solution.
Sure, you are correct.

But that also means Jews/Christians have a very rocky road together. Technically, "Christians" performed the Holocaust, for starters.

It begs a question - when you add in Islam, why do Christians and Jews suddenly become political allies?

That's the happy case, yes. But now hiring is a competitive process, and you need criteria to compare candidates. Once you eliminate leetcode, and also eliminate biases related to candidate's class and background what you're left with? You'll have to compare how close their experiences are to the job they want. Still better than considering lack of experience with technology X a deal breaker of course
The whatabout argument is needed to check whether the principles stated by politicians are upheld and enforced universally across the board, as we all are supposed to support and pay for the moral principles that guide the current counter-measures. This would indeed make european countries visibly worth living in. But if the principles are being replaced by non-consistent utilitarian opportunities, because they make for a convenient political climate of non-responsibility for the people in charge, I don't see the extra price imposed on european citizens to be morally worth paying.

The truth is, there doesn't seem to be an option that would allow european leaders to morally avoid all economic dealings with tyrants. Hence diplomacy exists since the dawn of ages, and politicans had better learn and practice it to keep the tyrants occupied with their domestic issues, as it helps to propagate peace better than sanctions, and because the only other alternative to it is a growing military confrontation.
> The things you say are all true, but they were also true to a lesser extent in the 60s, when Americans were much less obese than they are now.

You're talking about movements over time — it's not like everyone moved out to the suburbs in 1955, and in the 1960s you still had a lot of people living in more urban walkable environments (the riots in the 60s and crime in the 70s really ramped up suburban flight). American leaders were already talking about an obesity crisis by the 1960s (the flawed dietary guidelines in the 1970s were a “we don't have time to wait!” response to decades of that trend) but it just kept getting worse over time, which seems to track with an increasingly car-dominant lifecycle.

That site doesn't have a good reputation and I would especially be careful about drawing conclusions from a single study of one type of animal. There's an especially big confound that many “wild” animals have still had significant habitat disruption from humans and it's not clear whether those macaques have access to human food, crops, etc. which would not otherwise have been the case.

It might be because of actual experience in the aviation industry, rather than just experience reading articles about aviation incidents that amp up safety issues because that's what the public loves to read.

If you want to ground all aircraft which have returned to their departure point twice, you will be grounding every single aircraft older than a few years. So what exactly are you trying to say?

> Java ..., and it's used at every other company on the list too. Same with C++ - it's everywhere and there is a lot of it.

And that is what I am trying to understand, which languages(old and new) will have longer runway. C++ and Java are given because they are used at enterprise-level and by lot of other companies. But what about other languages? Just one or two companies supporting it for product development or many companies using it for tiny internal projects but not major projects makes a language vulnerable.
More than movements, I think it is staring. Cat-lovers tend to look at the newly arrived cat, whereas cat-haters tend to look away. Cats interpret the staring as negative attention, getting ready to hunt or fight.

If you want to make friends with a cat, it is ok to look in their direction for a while, but make a few slow blinks in between. If the cat blinks back, you are halfway there.

Possibly closer to the mark in terms of scripture is Ezekiel 38, which specifies that the Jews are to have returned/gathered from exile/dispersion and be living in peace ("unwalled cities") before an invasion/looting from the north. Of course, it only specifies the movement of peoples, not the political configuration of the land.
