In my experience with such tools the part 'you can turn that' means that you do not let them go far away from the cage and quickly destroy whatever they did.

Which is not what I see happening.

I see that now you have 2 layered system forever. You need to fully understand both layers to make changes. You need to keep everything like it was designed so design person will be able to continue their work. You now need to design code blocks to the puzzle to make it look like its a software.

Currently I am coping with what I see and the only feeling I have and I know its wrong, is that whatever prototype team gets from this visual stage has to be stripped for ideas and redesigned from clean slate before going into next steps. But I have been in business long time and I know I will not see any clean slates anytime soon. We are going to ship whatever 'works'.

the insect friendly unmowed zones are present but very minimal compared to the commercial farmlands

It's also quite debatable whether they're that friendly. Leaving it grow then mowing everything in one go and leaving all cuttings, as I see often in my neighborhoud, is more like creating a death trap for insects. Also because these zones are almost always subsidized, but not mandatory, so if the farmer feels like it they can just be removed again. One thing these zones are often good for though is catching mud streams from erosion. Ideally there would be no such erosion of course, but at leasts it provides some prevention of soil just washing away.

On a brighter side: if I got it correctly Europe is working on legislation which is going to make it mandatory for farmers to dedicate x% of land to nature. Not just zones with grass, also line elements with bushes etc. Essentially restoring what the land looked like here the past centuries before agricultural industrialization kicked in.

As drivers, it's actually a negative because it makes seeing around curves more difficult,

Pretty sure communities or whoever owns the road are allowed to mow curves and other spots throughout the year to guarantee visibility. But yes, there's quite some potential there (there, and in gardens): the total amount of area makes it well worth it. Still going to take a while before it gets done properly though (again: mowing everything in one go is quite detrimental).

While I agree that they usually look pretty bad (and that the resolution is too low), some of them have been on par of what I've seen in video games.

This is what a revolution looks like when it is happening.

Did you learn about the "Industrial revolution" or the "agricultural revolution" in class? That didn't take a week, or a year, or a decade to happen. Even the Internet revolution took more than a decade.

This is a revolution. And you're seeing it happen in real time.

Training these models is much much cheaper than you think it is, and there’s good data for it already.

I find shifting extremely comfortable, but not quite to the extent as the author of this post. Like the author, I use thumb keys on the opposite hand to make the other hand start typing symbols. For example, I press the key below V with my left hand, and then home row on the right hand "jkl;" becomes "({})". (Actually, the whole side becomes symbols. I use the characters below the numbers to type the shifted symbol there, so qwer is !@#$, though on the other side, I don't duplicate the parentheses and instead have `~ below 9 and 0.)

Overall, I find that this is ridiculously comfortable to use.

I suffered from mild wrist pain when typing on standard keyboards, mostly because my pinky had to do so much work for programming (and pressing backspace, kill the default position of that key with fire), and the Ergodox helped me a lot.

One thing I'll note, when I moved from Ergodox to Moonlander, I lost the 1.5U key next to the h/n keys (heh). I used to use that as backspace, but moved it to my left thumb. When you're backspacing an entire word (not something I do in Emacs, but something you have to do in the web browser), the up/down/up/down/up/down motion isn't as fast with your thumb as it is with your pointer finger. OS X users probably don't have this problem, as C-w isn't "close window" there like it is on Windows.
Are you implying that Apple would openly flaunt US sanctions for the benefit of a Chinese company? I find that hard to believe.

The differences are mostly political. There is a resolution, it's just that people stick to their desires in the face of evidence.

Islam does leave things open to adjust as we further our knowledge. The foundations do not change. This does not have anything to do with whether it is true.

> And why does god need you to worship him?

Because He said so: https://quran.com/21/23

Of course not. He doesn't need us.

> Do you know the future?

God told us the future (it's in the Quran).

I'm quite curious, we Muslims believe that Jesus Prayer of God be upon him will return. If you are alive at that time, is that sufficient evidence for you to accept?

> All religions are man made.

Yet you present no evidence. I presented proof (e.g. provingislam.com) about very detailed prophecies made thousands of years ago and came true. Just because you want something doesn't make it so.

AI in animation has been interesting to me for a while now. It leaves me a little conflicted though. If we get to the point where we can throw key drawings at AI and let it handle all the inbewteens without a bunch of tweaking and cleanup afterwards it's going to really suck for places like Korea! I guess all those inbeatweeners will just be another victim of automation.

I've always loved animation, but I'll admit part of that comes from the hubris involved. It's pure insanity that people ever drew, by hand, mountains of individual drawings each slightly changed and assembled them into compelling illusions to tell stories. The amount of work that goes into animation is just staggering and anyone sensible would have rejected the entire concept as absurd. I wonder if animation will start losing part of its magic for me when it's done primarily by AI.

On the other hand though, another thing I've always loved about animation as a storytelling medium is that it isn't as limited by practical concerns like physics or reality. If something can be imagined, it can be drawn and animated if somebody has the skill and the resources to fund the massive amounts of work. It's time/money that forces animators to take shortcuts and make compromises. Creative decisions are made and rejected all the time due to those constraints. If AI driven animation gets more advanced to the point where that's no longer such a barrier it could create output more in line with the vision of creators and that's exciting too!

I hope that traditional hand drawn animation never dies, but I look forward to seeing how AI continues to change the industry and the output.

I found a way to make Terraform code completely dry by using Hiera as a data source and writing every stack and module to be entirely data-driven (ie: only ever use "for_each" to iterate over a data map, never hard code anything, use strict naming conventions). However there are some major obstacles to using Terraform this way, that emerge from it being a clunky DSL with hidden "special rules", instead of behaving in a consistent way like a proper language. Like these:

Honest question/suggestion: don't you think many big companies are more than happy to pay for the consulting to give them a feeling of comfort and safety, someone to turn to if there's an outage in the middle of the night?

Not that I'd need much Hashicorp folks on my "bridge call" when my Websphere cluster runs out of memory, but since IBM and Microsoft are on speed dial (in their million(s) dollar support contracts), we may want the same for Hashicorp. This "we" is not "me", but I did work for this sort of company in the past. Open source made them uncomfortable, consulting may help with that.

And sure, it lasts only as long as it does.
Not going to argue with the price, but monthly / biweekly / weekly testing is way different than once a year. Yearly is enough to get an overall sense of where you are at, biweekly lets you correlate w/ much more fine-grained signals. Plus it keeps the score in your head as a goal.

That's why I said transatlantic cruises. And yes, I could, if I want to isolate myself and treat my vacation like a punishment, but I still like to socialize and engage with the world around me on vacation, so it's nice to live in a world where there are a lot of people and events and no one is online nor expecting you to be.

I'm not really sure I know how to use these tools. I tried the following prompt:

"elon musk giving donald trump a massage using pizza sauce instead of oil, in a majestic room filled with flowers and golden toilets"

...and the result was a crappy AI-generated picture of not-quite donald trump holding a terrible rendering of a pizza, and some hands sticking out of random places. There were some red flowers in the picture at least.

I realize this isn't a "serious" use case, but clearly the tech isn't doing what I'm hoping it does.

I tried "coffee beans with cartoon mouths" and it's just a picture of some coffee beans. I don't get it.
> Tracing and collage both mechanistically clone elements of the input.

Yes, and tracing counts as art fraud.

Collage is a bit different, because you are mixing many clones of many other objects such that you create a new object; additionally the way you assemble the clones may transform them (a photo of the mona lisa has different surface texture than a painted version, even more different if it is clipped from newsprint), but while the borders of this are not clear, it is clear when people are far enough over the border. Think of hip-hop, sampling, and remixing music, and some of the legal battles which have come out of that.

> Unless you literally own the cruise ship and you are literally the law onboard as captain/owner of the ship, nobody has to accomodate your lack of self-discipline.

vs. What we're replying to:

> As we enter the era of increased satellite connectivity, it makes sense that some cruises would offer no Internet access to passengers as a perk. That would have nothing to do with the crew having access.

And again, it's not my lack of non-discipline: it's me enjoying being in places where the other people I'm with are disconnected. I value disconnected experiences; if a quarter of people around me are nose-down in a phone, that devalues the experience for me a fair bit. There are likely decent markets for disconnected experiences.

Of course it's evidence. We have prophecies made thousands of years ago and they're coming true in our very lifetimes. E.g. http://www.provingislam.com

I wanted to find out how the media could mess up a simple factual story on whether or not a famous person had died. It proved to be quite difficult to google for "Gorbachev death/died/dead misreported/erroneous/false" and lots of other variations; I kept getting hits on current news. But I finally found a report from 2013 here:

https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/false-story-about...

The state-run news agency RIA Novosti in Moscow that published the erroneous story for just 5 minutes blamed it on hackers. But the false news spread widely from there.
That is indeed a loaded symbol

We have proof. We know about the state of the world back then. We have history, archeology, the knowledge of that era, and much much more. Even English author and historian Tom Holland had to admit that the Quran had too much nuanced knowledge about Jewish and Christian texts that, instead of submitting, he had to come up with a completely illogical and provably wrong story that Makkah was not in present day Saudi Arabia, but on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

Even the non Muslims admit and are in awe of what happened.

While I agree that that particular anecdote tells us nothing -- because it's void of details -- I disagree that anecdotes categorically can't tell us anything. My take isn't anti-scientific, it is against this particular brand of scientism that believes that single examples are useless. Consider that medical scientists often use case studies to better understand phenomena, because this allows for higher resolution investigation of a single example in order to shed light on phenomena, and it addresses edge cases due to individual heterogeneity that cross-sectional data can't address well. In light of this example, I would argue the anecdote vs data is a false dichotomy if you're defining anecdote to mean "example from a single person". If an anecdote is studied properly, as it is in case studies in the medical literature, it is data. It's just a different kind of data and a different mode of scientific study to lower resolution cross-sectional studies (which are also great and necessary, but have different strengths).
The EU didn't have to conquer the Eastern Europe to enforce lots of its legislation (as well as support programs) on its new member states. And compared to other post-Soviet states, the EU members are doing pretty well. So I think there is a counterexample in your claim that you need to conquer. It was a failure of neoliberalism.
