The USA is the one where they give their elected figurehead pardon powers - like a King in the old times - and the previous one used them to insulate friends who very obviously did crimes. Then in fact he promises to do the same again only more so if given the chance, but his political allies protect him from prosecution anyway. Wow. I mean, I guess Cromwell was worse, but it's not exactly an enviable choice.

The US governance model is unsound, it's been around for only a relatively brief period and it's crumbling. France's setup is better, but if there had been some way to not execute the King of France I think they'd be doing just fine with some guy in a fancy hat living in one of their palaces and somebody to represent France as an idea who isn't connected to a political executive.
There are things I learned in school and didn't understand their importance for a while. That's fine. But it hurts to see kids learning some things they will never use, or missing more important things.

English/reading is way overemphasized, and overly focused on emotional fictional literature. Sorry, I don't give a damn how Juliette feels; maybe I can pretend to care for a year, but 9 years? It didn't matter later in life that I got Bs in English, despite it actually being a useful subject. Maybe this is where the US curriculum differs from other countries the most.

Economics should be part of the standard curriculum. Plenty of average people participate in an economy every day without understanding it, other than having street smarts.

Math class is seemingly based around the final destination of Calculus AB or BC, but calculus is overly specific if you think about it. Sure, teach the basics, but don't drill the kids for months on solving integrals with trig sub for one. There are so many other math subjects that get ignored.

Math proofs are basically nonexistent in high school. Everything is just thrown at you then becomes a game of memorizing algorithms and crunching numbers. I get why so many kids don't like it.

History is OK but usually lacks connection to current events.
I'm familiar with the phrase. I just wanted to see if they meant something more like "don't eat cookies" than "don't be poor".
Calories in / calories out is not an interesting question. If you present a healthy person with 4000 calories of cake, they don't eat it. They may have some cake, but not all of it. Oftentimes, they simply can't eat it all without feeling sick and stopping. Healthy people constantly pass on adding extra calories to their diet, and it's not through willpower. Healthy people have different hormonal balances, different gut bacteria, different brain structures, etc. They simply cannot eat the same quantity of unhealthy food that an obese person can, and they do not have the constant level of background hunger cravings that obese people do. Changing a healthy person into an unhealthy one takes a while, but several months of being sedentary and eating low quality food generally seems to put someone on track for obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Conversely, an obese person, or particularly a formerly obese person that has recently dieted, has pretty extreme cravings and withdrawal symptoms, even if they're eating a complete and healthy diet. Something is going wrong with the complicated dance of insulin, ghrelin, leptin, and various others. Something is driving obese people to eat enormous amounts of food and still feel hungry. Poor sleep, chemical exposure, change in nutrient content of easily available foods, are all potential culprits. Something far more interesting is going on than "they're eating more calories".

Anyone knows how Dark shy was able to do hyperlocal weather prediction?
Chiplets also drastically improve binning since you no longer need all 16 cores on a monolithic die to run at for example 5ghz, you just need to find 4, 4 core chiplets that run at 5ghz.

It effectively allows you to mix and match parts (to a degree) to make the highest performing cpu.

Not a good argument, because this type of AI is basically exactly a compression algorithm - it’s the most efficient way we know to compress 2 billion image/text pairs down such that it can recreate the average of all the inputs retaining as much layered knowledge as it can.

It’s a very very fancy compression algorithm, but it still is one.
How much power does the British monarch still have? I'm from America so I didn't learn much in school about British history post-1776, but my understanding is that they never had an event like the French Revolution or American Revolution that suddenly ended their monarchy, just a long series of minor reductions in the royal family's power going back to the Magna Carta.

From my own (admittedly uneducated on this topic) perspective, British government doesn't make any sense as it looks like a modern republic from a distance but they still have lords, kings, dukes, and other titles of nobility that seem incompatible with that.

Does the King still have the ability to order people around and pass his own laws?
PSA that the python bindings for hyperscan need maintainers: https://github.com/darvid/python-hyperscan/issues/44
I took a sabbatical a few years back for a year and a bit to travel and spend time building software I really wanted to build. I was not afraid of getting a job when I got back so this is not really the same situation as you are in but I felt like if I didn't do it back then then I never would. I thought I'd have some big life changing idea along the way but what I got out of it was unexpected and wonderful. A year for me flashes by now but this felt like a lifetime. I could sleep on night buses, in train stations, in noisy hostels. I can now talk to almost anybody about almost anything. I can finally appreciate the time between things. Waiting around is finally peaceful for me. At work people gravitate towards those that make them feel good about what they do and I don't think you can learn that magic from books. However, you may have noticed that there is a lot of "I" and "me" in these words of mine and it is true that you become more selfish. Not nasty selfish but selfish nonetheless. Your absence may also take a toll on friends and loved ones. It is also a lonely affair despite all the people you meet and what it looks like in photos. I hope that helps!

Wifi came about around the time that every laptop, even small ones, had PCMCIA/cardbus slots and USB was fairly new as well, being used mainly for keyboards, mice, and joysticks. I remember having to buy a PCI USB card for my workstation because the motherboard didn't come with any USB ports even though it was less than a year old.

To begin approximating what a lone spherical synapse would actually do you'd need to solve 2^n coupled second order differential equations where n is the number of ions used.

There is interesting discussion there.

Humans emulate as well, and produce bland art as well.

I've seen lots of human-made art (especially on Artstation) that failed to elicit any emotional response in me.

The reason people are having this discussion is a fear of AI creating aesthetically pleasing and deep emotionally through statistical approach.

And the deeper fear that AI can potentially "hack" our senses by providing us with exactly what we want to see, read or hear (statistically).

i.e. if some subset of art is pushing our biological buttons more than all other art, and the effect is generalizable over human population, what would that say about us?

> Like the fella who stated that ‘we didn’t vote for him’

In fairness, we didn't vote for the Prime Minister either.

Where was this fella when we needed him in parliament?

I think UK democracy has a much bigger democratic problem than whether there is a symbolic monarch.

Unlike the monarch, the Prime Minister we didn't vote for is a political activist with serious power and a nasty agenda - including the agenda to reduce freedom to protest and other basic rights of the people.

In fairness to the Queen, as far as I know she never asked that we reduce the people's rights and freedoms, and in fairness to the new King, one of the things he is known for is being a climate and environment activist, which was viewed as kooky a couple of decades ago but looks prescient and relevant to the times now.
How will they know what is and isn't AI-generated? And when they cause a false-positive how are the "real" artists able to verify that their art is legit?

In Britain you typically work 37.5 hours per week and get five weeks vacation. Over 47 weeks, those extra 2.5 hours an American works is three extra weeks of work. If you only get 10 days vacation per year then an American works 3 more weeks, for a total of 6 more weeks than a Brit.

You should look closer at the risks of caffeine. Someone was in the news dying from an accidental ingestion of a large dose just a few days ago. And there’s been some evidence for a while now that high doses of caffeine in energy drinks can lead to delusional behavior.
You're noticing that this is copy-pasta from somewhere else. It seems credible that there might be some bad actors like with the Coronavirus or the election. But maybe I struggle to imagine how people could be so incredibly actively loyal to a royal family.
Or maybe it's both? There's research showing that students can do a lot better when they're randomly assigned to a higher-quality school.
"with all the obedients lapping it up"

What exactly is an "obedient"? Are you really deploying a disparaging tag on people who are mourning? That seems a bit crass to me.

"we need room for the dissenting voices too" - I saw on C4 (UK TV channel) this evening, some people in Scotland describing their disaffection with the Monarchy. That's fine and quite right.

I also find the sheer amount of coverage a bit overwhelming but in the end no one knows what is appropriate - it's not happened before like this - and let's face it, if you were running a TV channel or radio or whatever, you would probably err on the side of caution too unless you were decidedly commercially stupid!

No one really knows what is appropriate. A lot of the ceremonies are only now being televised.

I have to say that, whilst the sheer bulk of 'er Maj programmes is starting to feel a little excessive, I understand why. Some of them are pretty good too.

We will pop out of the other side of this event and the world will continue to turn but we must remember that a King and his bros and moes (sorry!) and their kids and grandkids and great-grandkids have lost a pretty decent human. As have we all.

They are an odd lot and they are our odd lot. If it helps, I understand that they are a net gain financially via tourism alone. Not sure how that is costed but I suspect it is probably true.

It's fine to imply you prefer a republic instead or perhaps something else but why not be positive about your preferred solution instead of sniping at the current situation.

What exactly do you want?

>Aside from the debates about "artistic merit" and the ethics of using AI trained on existing artists' work, one of the key things is that this new technology allows anyone to flood a place with images.

Just subbing to the StableDiffusion sub has added a ton of art to my feed in Apollo. I agree the concern isn't that it's art, but that it's being produced so fast. I've seen dozens of showcase/portfolio worthy pieces generated in the past week. That manually created would probably take 40-160 hours (I'm not an artist so hence the huge range).

It's pretty comparable to handcrafting a letter vs. a spambot in terms of the volume jump.
I've long had this sense, that if I started smoking weed every day, I probably would develop psychosis sooner or later. I feel like my connection to reality is at times somewhat tenuous, and heavy cannabis could easily disturb it enough to break it entirely. I suppose I could be wrong, but that's a hypothesis I'm not going to test.

I do think some people can have that "latent" potential yet have the good fortune of never activating it – and cannabis definitely has the potential to do so (although most recreational drugs probably can given sufficiently heavy long-term use).

(I tried cannabis once, years ago, I could see why people like it but I didn't feel any great urge to repeat the experience – and worries like this also discourage me – which is probably for the best.)
The stuff under "Freeze the code before release", such as a code freeze where devs can't make any changes, seems to be the opposite of the article's goal. Your release should be a specific commit ID, not a branch name, so it doesn't matter if people continue to develop and push changes. If you need to make changes specific to the release, use a release branch. No need to stop devs from moving on.
That's a very fingerprintable observation.
TFA talks about at least some people being arrested who were definitely not at a funeral procession.
That might be the complete slide but it is not the complete picture. This disorder for example causes pretty extreme digestive issues, and it has not been in the medical literature for very long.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_hyperemesis_syndro...
Even if you think that should be a crime, why should that apply to the funeral of a representative or government official? People should be able to show their distaste of such a public figure however they want, even if it makes you feel weird about it.
Very American centric farming practices and concerns you have.
Not everywhere grows 2 acres of corn to feed to livestock.

I grew up on a farm in New Zealand, water is plentiful, cows eat grass and are calved on milk that for one reason or another would be wasted otherwise. Processing of the meat was done in the paddock by a home kill butcher.

In the same way people like going on cruises but don’t worry about how much bunker fuel it burns, I like eating meat and will continue to do so.

If you want to be vegetarian great, but I’m making a lifestyle choice that I’ll eat meat because I enjoy it and all of the dishes that can’t be made without it.
Your body produces palmitic acid on its own, 30% of your fat is palmitic acid yourself produced.

> and overly focused on emotional fictional literature

Isn't that what people read for fun? If you have to teach reading and grammar, I'm sure that there are worse choices.

And you do need some serious background in Calculus for most college-level STEM fields, including probability/statistics/data science.

I do agree that the social sciences (including Econ, but not only!) are seriously missing in school
education, and it's quite silly to teach so much history/literature/natural science/math even as we ignore them altogether.

Teaching math proofs is really, really hard. Even most college math majors don't really learn them all that well. Maybe if proof assistants develop to the point where it can be a fully "gamified" subject, it could work in K-12.

Dark Sky has been exceedingly clear about this for a very long time.

I don't know how the parent commenter missed it, unless they started the side project several years ago and never went back to check the API docs.

But today's announcement has nothing to do with discontinuing the Dark Sky API. They gave ample warning about that as well as replacement guidelines long ago.

I forgot what it was called but I know that mailbox ftp thing. Pain in my --- writing custom parsers and scripts and wrappers just for that one vendor of just one of our clients.

I'd still take that over the really proprietary stuff some were using where there was no unix or linux way to do it and there just had to be a windows box somewhere just to run the special client.

And then there was the weird windows ftp server with the 3rd party ssl add-on, Glub-tech? That didn't even conform to the ftp specs at the lower packet/protocol level such that it wasn't just a matter of parsing unusual text output or taking unusual commands, normal ftp clients would fail to negotiate the basics and definitely failed to negotiate ssl because it was doing part of the handshake out of order. The only way to work was to use their own java client. That one thing was the only reason I even had to have a jre existing on the system at all. Eventually that aged out when that vendor-of-a-customer finally upgraded their windows server and the new one had native ftps which was conformant enough to work.

And all these things are stuff used not even by own own customers but by vendors and customers of our customers. I had approximately zero influence to get the remote party to fix their broken shit, Yet, for our customers, still had to make things work.

At least that mailbox thing with it's weird thing where deleted or processed files were still listed and you had to look at some flag/status characters to tell if a file was really new or should be ignored, not the filename, because that could be the same, at least any normal ftp client worked with it and the problem was merely parsing the text sent back from the server, and I think also issuing comments that were a bit custom and needed to use the QUOT command instead of the standard convenience commands in the client.

Whatever that's what I got paid for was being good at finding ways around stuff like that. I didn't actually mind solving those problems even though at the same time I can observe that "x is shit" and they shouldn't be using it and they wouldn't have to pay so much for difficult problem solving if they weren't using x weird shit product or service.
While I mostly agree with that assertion (we do run with mitigations off in our small dedicated devices), there is an important caveat: this only applies if you're 100% positive that you control everything that runs on your box.

If you have _any_ sort of vulnerability in anything that runs on your box and talks to the outside world, that allows for execution of attacker-injected code (even running unprivileged), you're now vulnerable to these speculative execution attacks.

You have to decide how much of a risk you're willing to take in this regard.
> and I am even okay with going as far as saying "walking into a convenience store, talking to a clerk in a human language to retrieve items in exchange of paper currency" is an API.

This is more apt to call a protocol than an API. An API could conform to this protocol though, in a manner of speaking.
Yeah, it's not like getting drunk, where alcohol actually is a toxin and you can kill yourself with an overdose.

I find if I have alcohol early in the day enough to get a buzz, after I sober up I still will feel tired and sluggish. Do a wake and bake - get stoned for an hour or two and then I feel totally normal the rest of the day. Weed isn't toxic (although inhalation of smoke may be).

When you buy imported mass-produced goods in China and they come from a really popular distributor located in a developed coastal city (eg. Shanghai) with huge, platform-audited sales volume and the goods already cost 10x local units, the chance of counterfeit goods is generally very low.

The most recent supply scam I have personally had to deal with was the substitution for sale of alternate polymers as more expensive, engineering grade polymers.
One thing I've seen some people run into is if their ISP insists on PPPoE, inbound packets will tend to stick to a single RX queue, which lends to single threaded handling of that traffic, and it can too much for one core, especially if you get a lower power cpu. It might be possible to convince the network card to look a bit farther into the packet to hash packets to different queues, but at least it doesn't happen out of the box.
As an American, it is hard for me to properly grasp the fact that the UK almost seems closer to Saudi Arabia than the US in this regard.
