>more of a prerequisite for a job.

Or a possible alternative is to retract some of the credentialism gatekeeping regarding jobs. This could transform education from its current predominant role as vocational training and back to the pre-Morrill Act roots of educating a populace in terms of understanding and appreciating culture.

To your point, though, this would undermine the consumer base of universities so I would expect them to push back in one way or another. But having employers scale back credentialism can occur irrespective of university policy.

Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh

I’m not sure I agree, because people might put in the hard work without the psychedelic and not experience the benefit.

Michael Pollan’s “How to change your mind” talks about psychedelic studies where the more effective, longer lasting changes are seen by the people who had more “mystic” experiences.

It’s not just about good intentions, or just taking psychedelics, but seemingly priming your mind to use the psychedelics to (temporarily) change fundamental thought patterns.

By that definition, getting therapy is also a placebo. You could go to therapy "recreationally" without wanting to get better or work on yourself. But that's not going to help you. You still need to put in work. Does that make therapy a placebo?
Wait, really? What are EV TLS certificates actually used for nowadays since all browsers deprecated the "green bar" UI?
> In this case, casting was chosen to be diverse at the expense of a detail barely anyone cares about.

Sorry, but that's like saying that nobody cares about Gandalf the white in LOTR, and you can cast whoever you like for the role and make his robe rainbow colored.

In fact Amazon didn't do that, the actor playing Gandalf in Rings of power is a white man. For obvious reasons, that have nothing to do with being against diversity.

The blue fairy has a central role in Pinocchio and she has long blue hair.

They knew that casting a shaved woman would be much more than simply adapting a story. it's like if in a Nausicaa in the valley of the winds adaption Nausicaa is a black disabled boy. It would simply not be the right choice, casting as a job is exactly that, choosing the more apt person for the role, which includes appearances.

Of course the colour of the skin is not a fundamental trait, unless it is in the story.

A white Apollo Creed would be highly controversial, like a black Abraham Lincoln, an Asian Sitting Bull or an Italian Malcolm X that only eats spaghetti and says "mamamia" with the hands.
I agree, and it would also make it easier on teachers in university; its a royal pain dealing with students who aren't really interested, but are merely seeking a certificate of some kind so they can get a decent job.

Most plumbers don't need to be theoretical experts in hydraulics and pneumatics; but there certainly is time when such expertise is called for.

Ehh....Gandalf himself says that if he took up the Ring he would in time be corrupted. I'm not going to say it's wrong to read Galadriel's speech there as, in some way, referring to her checkered past, but I've never read it as indicating that.

Basically, anyone with a personality built for command, taking up the Ring, would become a tyrant of some sort. That's part of why it was so important that it came not just to hobbits, but to these hobbits, whose strongest desires were about protecting, and gardening, and living their hobbity lives. (I imagine if Lobelia Sackville-Baggins had gotten her hands on it, she wouldn't have fared so well. Not a Dark Queen by any means, but still something much more dark and dangerous than what became of Bilbo, Frodo and Sam.)
Fixing CA's housing and public transit issues is perhaps beyond the remit of the Milpitas school district. Paying what might look like an absurd salary to teachers (especially if you come from a cheaper area) to cover their housing is at least a plausible solution, if the employer can swing it.

I wonder if it might be possible for the municipality to use eminent domain + a bond measure to acquire a parcel. This could be developed into condos for cops & teachers, owned by the city and rented at a subsidized rate to public employees for the term of their employment + six months.
The free market excuses work for luxury goods but they don't work for necessities. Prices have already reached the point where a large percentage of the population will not be able to afford any form of heating whatsoever over the winter. As a country we already know that a non-insignificant number of people develop serious illness or die because of a lack of heating.

Making the choice to take no action further compounds the issue as you deepen the coming recession and create more people who cannot pay to heat their homes or keep the economy going.

The answer to a crisis like this is price caps, investment in alternatives, taxes on profits, and if necessary targeted restrictions on energy use.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with covering a situation like this with debt in order to keep people and the economy alive.
This is a great rate. I’d love to know how you find clients willing to pay this amount. Most people I’ve come across that need a new site/app built have extremely low budgets. Like $10,000…total for an app. Certainly not $10,000 for a week.

If you’re the digital equivalent of the Fire Department and shouldn’t refuse service, why are you treating hosting differently?

Is it because they can get hosting elsewhere? Well they can get web security elsewhere too, what’s the difference?

By the way comparing Cloudflare with the Fire Department is silly, as neither is Cloudflare the only game in town, nor is not having a website life threatening.

And if Cloudflare is the last line of defense for free speech, why do they refuse to host the same site?

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth for Cloudflare to somehow paint themselves as the good guys in this scenario, at most they’re the Swiss Bank, willing to do business with the despicables.

Answering everyone asking how we find clients - I love public speaking and so I try to do as much as I can. 80% of my clients saw me speak, the other 20% come from word to mouth. Highly recommend if you have the ability.
N9 was not "proper" MeeGo, internally it was still mostly Maemo Harmattan, followup to N900, though they had few canceled hardware projects between N9 and N900. MeeGo was suppposed to be co-developed with Intel, but it was never going to go anywhere, because neither Nokia or Intel had no idea what they were doing. Nokia wasn't built to be a software company and Intel has given up on x86 in phones.

Only reason why N9 ever was released is because they simply brutally cut down the scope of the project, e.g. dropping Qualcomm-based variant for US/CDMA markets (that one was repurposed to be their first Windows Phone).
Anybody interested in software for cloud+local(spare android phone/computer) video storage for their WiFi cameras?

If you're in the same boat as me & don't want to pay high premium for a basic VM w/ storage that can just record the RTSP stream while also storing the same locally in case of network failure etc, then do ping me & I can get to work on it!

Another gripe of mine is that most of them nowadays need you to use their mobile app instead of any browser on the same network for setting it up.....smh

Yes. I usually target hybrid roles in a place I am unwilling to live like New York as many are explicitly for practice. And I generally do not interview for smaller companies as the process is usually wacky. I was once asked to argue for forcing a company on Linux, Mac, or Windows for a dev role.

> The fairy is pale white not because she is a white person, but because she's pure.

Right, because of all of parts of the story that have been changed, _this_ is the part that must be kept - using white skin to equate to purity.

Do you agree that in our modern diverse society a black woman can be used to represent "purity"? Because if you do, then surly we can keep the author's original intent without tying it to skin color like he did in 1883.
Onboarding Practices: The First Month
> The only way to faithfully film the book would be to make some sort of anthology series, and I don't think that format works well for big-budget prestige drama.

It wouldn’t work on traditional TV but this is streaming on AppleTV. Budget was not a barrier AND ‘ratings’ don’t really matter for Apple either. That was the best opportunity during the period of PeakTV to just do what works artistically best for the adaptation with no constraints…

If I were the producer I would have spent Apple’s money on actors instead of special effects. Every episode ~60 mins to 90 minutes~ would end on a Seldon Crisis. Hari Seldon, the mayor, the trader, the Mule, etc would be played by the biggest movie stars (Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Chris Evans, Will Smith… or Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry etc) and that’s your hook for the mainstream audience. You offer the actors movie scale pay checks for limited season requirements and thats how you attract them. That’s an easy hit.

Or hire David Simon to make ‘The Wire in space’. Update Asimov’s theory of empire evolution to acknowledge newer works like Guns, Germs and Steel. Easy Prestige TV adaptation.

Instead we got this abomination of an adaptation where it’s clear this only exists because they shopped around for IP to make an action series to fight the streaming wars
Some other SBCL version, I don't know what I had installed on x86_64. I can look on monday, what it was. Probably the 1.2.11 that can be found on the download site. What was the issue you were running into?

Alternatively, you can try ABCL, which should run everywhere due to be JVM-based.
Heh. You know who made their fortune providing "everything else handled by default"? Microsoft.

The reality is that at least as a North American, nobody even knows it is an Italian story. We all know Pinocchio from our childhood. Nobody knows it’s Italian.

So watching a Disney movie, I’m not watching an Italian movie featuring an Italian story, just watching Disney.

I’m watching a common fable. And in that case, I really don’t see why everyone HAS to be white.

Not asking to change the original Italian book here. But the reality of Disney as a global storyteller is that it became a lot more than an Italian story.
The domain was never transferred, so a transfer lock wouldn't have stopped this. I need to look into the termination locking. It's not 100% clear to me if GoDaddy locks their DNS nameserver pointer to an external DNS server, or if they would just lock DNS records hosted on their own DNS servers.

They say "the lottery is a tax on people who can't do math". I'd vote for using lottery revenue to fund public STEM education.
I maybe in minority here but I regularly use CS, networking, OS internals statistics, discrete math (I could go own) knowledge I was taught in school and I work in infrastructure. Ofc if you let that knowledge falter and forget all this stuff you’re never gonna use it bc you won’t even know when it was useful
The #1 source of unhappiness for me today is lack of clear and direct communication. We are a fully remote team, so this is quite a problem.

I am honestly not sure how to improve matters at this point. I tried to lead by example to little avail. E.g. "look at how I documented that kind of issue here as a guideline moving forward". We tried issue templates that are effectively a checklist of required information, but not every problem fits into a round hole. Many (most?) are actually quite odd-shaped once you apply nuance and context.

There are also those really annoying interactions in Teams where someone will type out "you have a minute?" instead of just describing what they need someone's attention for up front.

At some levels, I wonder if I might have the wrong team for this kind of job. How does HN deal with team members who have trouble slowing down and communicating their thoughts well?
Applications. You can't take an existing Windows app and run it on Windows Phone, because the APIs are not there. You can take an existing Linux app and run it on Meego, because it's just a regular ARM Linux with a custom UI.
Ha! I'm on github nearly every day, and I never noticed the "trending" page. Just took a look at it now to see what's there.

We loved Sleuth in our house. So much so that about ten years ago, I made a quick rewrite in JS with the permission of the original author. It's not completely identical by any means, but pretty similar, and still enjoyable to play.

Is that really true? If I saw any fantasy or sci-fi series that didn't derive from a book or comic series I'd take off work to binge it. I'm so tired of regurgitation. A known writer's name attached would me me run rather than walk to the remote.
>kids all have the same potential in kindergarten and 1st grade.

This statement is false.

By this point, children have already been exposed to a large portion of their parents' vocabulary even tangentially rather than directly.

The amount of attention that kids receive can vary depending on their parents' schedules.

The amount and quality of nutrition has a large impact on brain and cognitive development.

That's not even accounting for base genetic differences, but these differences do impact the epigenetic control of expression of proteins.
You should probably charge more. Automobile repairs techs in Alabama charge more than that.

But I’d like to know where you find work because I haven’t found many clients in the SE that wish to spend money.
Simply put: Talk to people who have more money and higher expectations, and highly value efficiency (OP's selling point of being a "single person" means not dealing with a whole team, back&forth comms, etc). Don't talk to your local barber who wants a website to show up on google maps.

I have a similar weekly rate but $200 hourly; How I bill depends on the client (though yes, gravitating more and more towards weekly over time).
The neural network always tries to predict the final image, but the diffusion process takes the vector and shrinks it, then turns it into a distribution by adding Gaussian noise, so if the model makes a decision, it may not be the final one.

Edit: I thought you were concerned about the model changing decision; the model has a defined amount of steps it can take, and this affects the amount that the diffusion process can shrink the vector from the Unet (the neural network).
Yep.

Green bar is an implementation detail.

The main draw of EV certs is the insurance you get, I think it’s even still part of PCI-DSS
Well, if the reason Heroin doesn't help depression is because the body quickly adjusts to it and then you end up needing to use it just to maintain your previous baseline. If it didn't cause chemical dependence and retained its initial efficacy long term it would probably be extremely valuable.

Cocaine doesn't really help because it just dramatically increases the intensity and energy of your current state, it doesn't really alter your thinking in a way that could introduce positive thoughts not already present.

If psychedelics had similarly severe downsides then they would likely not be effective at aiding depression in the long run, but fortunately it has relatively few issues with careful use.
You can set both the seed and the number of inference steps when running StableDiffusion locally (or in Google CoLab). I assumed that they just set a seed and then generated the image at each inference step. With a decent GPU, it’s only going to take a few minutes.

You could definitely modify it to output at each step, but the output step takes a relatively long time, so it would slow down the process.
The version of the story I was told that the Maemo/Moblin mashup was just as bad as the idea of combining two different frameworks that do essentially the same thing sounds like, nowhere near production ready, and the Harmattan aka MeeGo-branded Maemo with Qt was the only way it could be made to work at all. I haven't heard anyone say that genuine MeeGo would make things better.
Say it with me kids Jazz Jackrabbit.
That is a good point. The simarillion was probably the first true tragedy I was wxposed to.
This is quite normal. The CS curriculum is more about breadth than depth.

My personal experience has been that this knowledge is useful as a way of knowing “the lay of the land”. My brain knows that a cpu has a limited addressable space due to the length of bits used to represent memory addresses. It has a sense for how bits travel between networks. A rudimentary idea of how computers actually work.

Systems engineering makes you think about these things a lot more. e.g. I had to go back and relearn most of my networking knowledge to really grok DNS and firewalls in order to debug application connectivity issues. When you dig into them it feels like revisiting a garden you have been to earlier and you are excited to know how its changed over the years and whether there’s any new flowers in there.

I think GP is not arguing his case well, especially not to Americans, who come with a preset cluster of expectations and arcane protocols to signal that we "get it".
