> But our society is disintegrating, and in such a society, the only successful people are self-reliant, confident, and individualistic — because the community life that protects the dependent and the weak is dead.

Too many people has apocalyptic views of the world. And to push for individualistic behavior when you think that your society is disintegrating seems to just accelerate any problems that may exists. 30 years later the collapse still has not happened.

> The children I teach have almost no curiosity, and what little they do have is transitory;

I have yet to see a child that is not curious, you need some war-level trauma to stop children curiosity. I would guess that the author real complain is that children are not interested in the same things that him, and that is why he is pissed off.

> they’re just nice kids from central Harlem, bright and alert, but so badly schooled when they came to me that most of them couldn’t add or subtract with any fluency.

I am all for better schools and I can not even imagine how bad schooling has been in mainly black neighborhoods but to "just let the kids learn by themselves" seems as absurd as the idea of "tabula rasa". Kids need to learn to learn but they also need to be taught.

> The Swedes realized this in 1976, when they effectively abandoned state adoption of unwanted children and instead spent national time and treasure on reinforcing the original family so that children born to Swedes were wanted.

This one is interesting as Abortion laws are changing in the USA.

> Family is the main engine of education.

This makes sense. I just think that schools also have their place no only for education but as socializing places.

> to promote during school time confluences of parent and child that will strengthen family bonds.

Sweden has a generous parental leave. That is a good way of achieving this goal.

In general the article expresses a too extreme view of things. But it has some good points even if I do not agree with all the conclusions.

Do personal projects in some other lower level language you're interested in. Keep a personal blog and write about what you've done. Then apply to companies that are interesting to you. Obviously you will likely have to apply for more jobs in whatever new domain you're interested in than if you were applying for web development jobs.

I did this myself and after ten years of writing Python/Go professionally I switched to C++ and work on interesting low-level problems not related to web apps. I don't know exactly what you want to do but in the first job I got writing C++ professionally I was grilled pretty hard in the interview loop about my C++ knowledge specifically. Once you get your first job though things will be way easier because you'll have the right stuff on your resume and you'll also have day-to-day fluency with the language.
> And frankly I'd rather have the black woman on the team to offer that perspective, especially for product decisions, because they might have interesting things to say.

From the post:

> If people of different races think differently, presumably that’s because of their different experiences (rather than, say, because different beliefs and attitudes are genetically programmed into different races). In that case, the most diverse people would naturally be those from other countries. They’ve not just grown up in a different part of our society; they’ve grown up in a completely different society. So affirmative action proponents would greatly favor affirmative action for, say, African immigrants over affirmative action for blacks born in America.
Huh, was not expecting Fur Affinity to be a poster child for such a ban.

The surprise is not because it’s furry — the art scene is such a large fraction of the furry economy that the introduction of AI art is approximately equivalent to introducing modern farming to, IDK, the 1850s or something — but rather because of that site’s lack of reputation with regards to technology.

Although, perhaps that explains why the quotation is “That content generated can reference hundreds, even thousands of pieces of work from other artists to create derivative images.” rather than the billions in the training sets.
Interesting... my experience has been the opposite, but I will admit I am not a network engineer. I've burned my fingers on SFP modules a few times, however.

Do you think that power requirements are different because SFP often uses direct-attach copper?

I'm honestly curious to reconcile my experience with other, more experience persons' reality here.
It's not anytime. It's limited to recursive types with interior mutability. These two conditions are specific to mutable graphs, not just any shared ownership. There are plenty of uses of Rc that cannot possibly cause a cycle.
That happens in Italy?
I've been on the receiving end of that.

Place I worked at a few years ago, used to have some mandatory courses about various of the company's concerns, like security practices, contract handling, or various other stuff. They decided to make it "fun" by having the courses done as some form of interactive thing which could certainly be done with Twine/Sugarcube.

It was hit and miss. I think there's a very thin line between writing something "entertaining" and something "awfully cringe". Some of the stuff was ok, but sometimes they veered a bit too much into writing some weirdly fantastic story over explaining whatever it was they wanted to explain.

So I'd say it is a valid tool in itself; it can work. But as with any other tool, the result depends a lot on how you use the tool.
Art isn't about skilfully painting a tree. That's artistry. Art is more than that, it's about feeling, evoking thoughts, and yeah, commenting on society.

> It's always trite, reductive, and utterly unoriginal.

This is simply untrue, modern art is not "always" anything. And who are you to judge what is going on in the mind of an artist?

I don't know what decade you deem to be "modern" art, but there is a huge amount of 20th - 21st century art that is jaw drop. You are the same as generations and generations of people who have been wrong and stuck in the comfort of the status quo. I hate to refer back to Van Gough, but you are a version of the people who missed the point there. And I suppose the social commentary of Pop Art is just trash too?

AI art will hang in a gallery if it evokes a feeling, not because it's a bloody good execution of a painting of a tree. This is how ALL art has been since we moved beyond painting wealthy people. It has to capture an emotion, thought, idea, or whatever else is intangible. Being able to get that intangible feeling across to the viewer is what is special. Not the quality of the craft, that's artistry.

I truly feel sorry for you not having been moved by something more than a beautiful oil painting.

Buying clothing on Amazon is a crap shoot. You don’t know what the fit is like and, while returns are allowed, it is not a simple process. You also don’t know much about the quality of the item or if it even resembles the item advertised. Things are quite as dire as buying clothing from a Facebook advertiser but there is still a risk.

Buying from a brick and mortar store will usually let you try on the item and you can see and feel if it is what you want. Returns are relatively simple, too.
Critiquing the style of a persuasive essay makes a lot of sense to me, however, because it accurately points out a flaw that will make it less successful according to this specific reader.
`git bisect --first-parent` is just as easy as a bisect on linear history. (It just follows the "linear" line down merge commits via their first parent, which by convention should be their "base" parent.) Plus it gives you the option to bisect "inside" a branch if you need to inspect something "low level" once you've narrowed down the "branch" based on merge commit. I think if `--first-parent` were the default to git bisect a lot more people would care a lot less about "linear commit history". But it is still an easy flag to apply yourself.
I believe it's basically sports plus buses (times are staggered so the same buses can be used for several school levels).
Luisgv recommended https://diataxis.fr/ to me; this page could also benefit:
It mixes explanation, how-to and calls it tutorial.

But I am grateful for this site; until yesterday I wouldn't have understood the problem with this ether.
And trailing lambdas?
You're entirely right. I was talking about cultural value.

Things are really going to suck for working artists who can't adjust. That's not cool and I should have acknowledged it.
I'd simply switch to alternative providers or technologies for my legal content, and then proceed to worry about people who actually live under threat of death for real free speech discussions.
We can barely just keep a road painted. There’s no budget for wholesale replacement of signs, which often have replacement spans in terms of decades.
I agree that unintended consequences (a subset of which are the Cobra effect) are bad. Can you explain further what type of unintended consequences you are thinking of in the AA context? The main one that springs to mind is that some people will assume that employees were hired/promoted based on race/gender/etc. Are there other unintended consequences in this context?

Every few years either AMD or Nvidia comes out with some chips that blow away the competition and everyone claims that the chip war is dead. Then the gap slowly closes again until they are sort of neck and neck until one of them does the same thing.
VIBES seems like a very cool project. Do you have any example MiniZinc files that show how the generated problems look?

Also, I would encourage you to generate some interesting instances and submit to the MiniZinc challenge (last years call for problems: https://www.minizinc.org/challenge2022/call_for_problems.htm...). It is a good way to get your problems into the hands of solver developers.
It would be great if there was a single web page I could visit in Safari 16 that demonstrated all of the new capabilities in one place.
So now I need to buy yet another bike (good quality folding bikes aren't cheap), fold and unfold it at every stop, and drag it around in the store with me? And how am I supposed to carry a load of groceries on a little folding bike without a big basket or panniers? Come on, that's just not a realistic solution for any but the most dedicated cyclists.

I absolutely want to see more motorists switch to riding bikes. The only way to make that happen is though a combination of infrastructure improvements and effective law enforcement.
Well, that shows some promising numbers, but it's still a unikernel rather than an embedded OS which is I think what OP is asking for.
Over the last 5 years I have been through, in that order:

- Safari

- Chrome

- Safari

- Firefox

- Safari

- Firefox

I keep trying to stick to Safari because of the resource usage and OS integration, but it just becomes unusable. Very very very slow. Difficult to integrate decent extensions or alternatives (e.g. RedditEnhancementSuite, Ublock Origin), and a distinct feeling of sluggishness.

I have changed back to firefox (in the last 3 months) after 7 or 8 months trying to use Safari again. I just couldn't deal with it anymore. A pity, really.

I just checked, and I have usage statistics (from the Timing app) on application usage since September 2017.

Chrome: 54%

Firefox: 32%

Safari: 13%

These stats are inherently a bit skewed because I still use chrome for some development, or firefox. So Chrome should come a bit down and Safari go a bit up. Also, my overall browsing usage has decreased and the data isn't adjusted for that. I used to be in "the browser" a lot more when I used chrome than now.

I don't intend to go back to chrome. I can't stand google, and at the time what really tipped me over the edge (to Safari) was how awful their integration with the macOS play controls were. Chrome would assume putting or taking my airpods from my ears was the same as pressing play/pause, regardless of anything else. So sometimes I'd put them in my ears and videos would stop. Sometimes they'd start. Whatever. It was a mess.

I guess I'll keep being a Firefox user.

I'm so tired of moving passwords around.........
Photographs are a great analogy. If you work to learn about how to take a good photo, and learn all the techniques around framing a shot and how different shutter speeds affect things you can take beautiful pictures. However, if you tried to submit that picture to someone as a painting, they will cry foul. Also most people don't consider your candids on vacation to be in the same "category" as a carefully crafted (or not!!!) photograph of a landscape.

In much the same way, sure you could dedicate your life to learning the craft of prompting an ML model to produce unique, novel, and interesting art, but these communities are saying "we want these to be considered a different class of art" and as mostly self organizing communities they are well within their rights to do so.
> Is it the plastic though, or is it the sugar?

The two are not mutually exclusive.

We know fructose is a problem. We know bisphenols and phthalates (endocrine disruptors found in plastics) are problems as well.

It's both.
While this is something that I do not remember using, because I typically attach all the pictures at the end of the message, all the e-mail clients that I have used have 2 menu options while composing a plain text message: "Insert file" and "Attach file".

I believe that "Insert file" should insert a picture in the middle of the plain text, unlike "Attach file".
If every art site bans AI spam and there's nowhere left to post it, and a healthy market for young artists to do beginner work for beginner prices, then the problem sounds solved to me.

And none of this is inevitable. If everyone trying to improve this technology hears from artists who are intensely unhappy about it and quits working on it, if AI art becomes inherently tacky so that it's embarrassing to work on and funding dries up, then progress on it stops. We were all gonna be using full color e-paper displays by now but all the funding for that dried up because emissive displays got real cheap and nobody wants to bother with reflective display technology any more.
Some schools do require it.
Gonna need some citations on homeschool effectiveness (not written by homeschool advocates) because in my experience, I knew 1 parent that actually was knowledgable and engaged enough to provide the kind of teaching you are talking about. I have known several that homeschooled for religious reasons or "scared of public school and couldn't get into private school" reasons and the kids were clearly educationally behind.
Uber Eats ditches delivery drivers as it rolls out self-driving cars in 2 states
I think we are improving some in that regard. I am seeing a lot more "resigned for unrelated reasons" for cops that get caught on tape abusing their power. They may be moving to another police force somewhere else. But at least it's some progress. And I think police forces are starting to see cops with a public record like that as a liability.
Laziness is not something I'd usually attribute to the various Apple groups...
It is using computer vision to compare the instagram photo with the recorded 'open camera' footage to give the best guess at a timestamp. You can see the CV drawing boxes around the objects it is identifying in the footage on the right side, and it already knows that the photo was taken at the location (since the location tag was used that to scrape the photos), so it is basically just hunting for a person that best matches the subject in the instagram photo.
The wire format is fairly straightforward if you've seen a few binary encodings. The language used to write the schemas isn't quite as simple and regular as you might hope, though.

> Maybe you mean something besides the wire format. In that case, good luck, because that shit ain't protobuf.

Naming's hard :) Being really pedantic, I think even Google calls the schema description language "Protocol Buffers" and uses phrases like "the Protobuf binary format" or "the Protocol Buffer wire format" to refer to the wire format. Colloquially, it's never confused me to just use "Protobuf" for both.
Well that's sort of their own doing. When you formalize the process of prioritizing individuals based solely on their attributes that have no relation to merit (skin color) then you must necessarily accept that people will presume that skin-color alone played a role in their hiring.
Do you really think those idiots will pay even the slightest bit of attention to that stuff?

This is the correct answer to tackle power draw. Use Vsync/Adaptive Sync for fixed refresh monitors, or FreeSync/GSync for variable refresh monitors.

For variable refresh rate monitors, it's best to use framerate limiters as well: either in-game or in the Nvidia control panel. Set the cap at least a few fps lower than your monitor's max refresh rate. Even better, aim for 90-100 fps cap, beyond which diminishing returns kick in and power bills continue to creep up.

This is a meta analysis. Meta analyses are done by collecting other studies and trying to pull the results out of each to apply to the main question of the study. The problem is of you have bad studies to start with you end up with a bad meta analysis, or garbage in, garbage out

Nutrition studies are very frequently awful. The use of questionaires to find out what someone eats is inherently flawed (do you remember how many times you ate brocoli this year?) and leads to biased results. People who care about their health will tend towards vegetarian and vegan diets because they are claimed to be healthy, but they will also be more likely to exercise, not smoke, be wary of alcohol, and so on, reducing the likelihood of cancer through those other mechanisms. Unless you actually randomly assign a diet for a long period of time and control for all of those factors your study is worthless, completely swamped in noise and misattribution. Let's also bot forget that people who are richer and more educated are more likely to be lower in stress and have more resources while also being more likely to go to a plant based diet.

Now take a bung of studies that are too short to see the effect, rely on bad data collection, stratify people by diet while also happening to get richer and more health conscious people in one group, and then bring them all together in one big study. You will find an effect. Is the effect because of the plant based diet or is it because that group is richer, less stressed, drinks and smokes less, works a better job, has a better education, and visits their doctor more frequently? I would expect and effect from the latter half, but the former in not shown by this or any other study thus far.

Why does this simply threaten artists? At what point is code a type of creative expression? When are the IDEA for a novel technology and the chops to implement equally viable applications of AI?

Artists are losing today, but why are they in any way more vulnerable? They just seem to be next on the chopping block.

I genuinely find this criticism of yours to be almost-inexcusably vapid in its own right. You're criticizing tone, not content. And your bolded, italicized dagger-marked point doesn't make sense to me without context.

Other than style and tone, what is your issue with the content of this writer's position? What are your suggestions for how it could be amended?
