The only possible factors driving weight gain for these animals, researchers believe, would be subtle chemical changes in the nature of the foods they eat, or in the materials used to build their pens."

As an Hispanic Engineer I would hate to be hired to fill up a diversity quota... I am better than that.

And as a Software Engineering hiring manager, when hiring I always strive to to be statistically unbiased in the diversity distribution in my team. My base distribution is the population of Software Engineering University graduates.

As long as that base population has 1/10 women and 1/20 "non majority population" (in our case is average Mexican) my team should be expected to follow the same diversity distribution.

The problem with a lot of "diversity" pushes is that they treat use the full country population distribution as a base, which is unreal for ALL labours, Hospitality may be skewed to females, Basketball may be skewed to Blacks, mechanics may be skewed to males, etc. Unless the distribution in the upper part of the funnels do not change, it will be unfair to attempt to force a change in the distribution in the lower stages of the funnel.
Actually, I thought about it twice and I retract what I said about this specification being pointless for building tools compatible with protobuf. Reasons:

* The language itself is unlikely to change much given it's been public for so long. A non-official spec that captures the current implementation is probably going to survive for some time.

* There's no official spec (which I would prefer) for me to base my tool on. This spec is about my only choice. The more tools targeting this spec, the hardest would be for Google to break compatibility with it, reinforcing my previous point.

I will keep the parent comment for context, and I don't retract the fact that I think the title is misleading. Otherwise, great work!!
The App Store reviews are pretty damning. Pay 1 dollar to unlock dark mode, only to have an update roll it back, and charge 12 dollars monthly.

That’s a pretty high monthly cost for a 2fa app. Why would anyone use this over raivo or opt Authy? I mean, even bitwarden is 10 dollars a year, and it has password management and 2fa built in?
This is a really well written article though I’m mixed in my agreements with it. Thought it was funny they mentioned the author “growing garlic” in the forward. It’s also curious to read about literacy rates before/after “compulsory” education and how they seemingly dropped - is this potentially because of different “standards” in defining literacy?

I feel everything I’ve ever learned was “taught to myself” even though I’ve spent close to two decades in school. Of course a teacher can catalyze the process by presenting material in an organized way. They say “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” and at first this seemed like an appropriate analogy for learning - but after some reflection is only partly relevant. Peer groups can be beneficial with catalyzing learning as well - of course it depends on the peers.

Yeah, you've described my challenge exactly. I'm all three and it's annoying. My title is Architect or Principal Architect. Boss sees me and uses me as Tech Lead across multiple teams (and the teams have really needed it). For me it's more about coding standards, best practices, and education than it is about interpreting product needs into stories - we have others for that. Boss's Boss doesn't appreciate that stuff and wants me as Architect, which puts them into battles. And in practice, I get pulled off both to be Solver - they call them "emergent issues", and the hard ones come to me. There isn't anyone technical above me that I can ask for help. Meanwhile I get dinged at quarterly reviews by our scrum-master for not having a predictable velocity.
AI art is striking at first glance, but devoid of meaning once you really try to engage with it. It's the meaning people want, but an image's visual impact has been a reasonably cheap heuristic for finding it. The viability of this heuristic is now dead or rapidly dying, and AI generated art is degenerating into yet another form of spam. Relatedly, feeds full of visually-striking images, once impressive, are taking on a "spammy" tinge. New, harder-to-fake signals will be found, and social media will reorganize around whatever those end up being.
An ATM machine is not protected as speech. Courts have consistently ruled that software is protected speech. So, yes blockchains do make a substantial difference because they divorce the act of writing software (protected by the 1st Amendment) from the act of operating the business around that software.

SCOTUS has consistently required an extremely high bar to regulating speech, so it's simply not enough to say "well we regulate this other non-speech thing, what's the difference".

Remember that this is still 2022. People think there's no privacy anymore, but in a few decades we are going to look back and wish we could go back. Of course these are public spaces where privacy has never _truly_ existed, but having cameras transmitting your every step to anyone with internet access is chilling.
You will likely get bored eventually. For you'll start to see patterns, you'll start to see much further ahead after some time. You'll be able to see things from a much wider perspective. You will see that there are many things that can be done, must be done, and must be avoided. Many potential opportunities and pitfalls. Your horizon will broaden. You are now able to think and plan much further ahead and you are able to plan much bigger things.

But you will notice that you are just one person. Its impossible to do all of that alone. Then you realize that you need to work as a team.

However, there's a major misconception about training of humans and AI.

Image generating AIs are trained with massive amounts of images and text, however image generating humans train with much broader spectrum of experience.

Also, feeding a model tons of images created by humans (directly or by proxy) and claiming that AI is generating something completely new is a bit naive IMHO. Humans mix a much more broader and deeper experience pool to create things without prompts.

An AI model blurts out something derived from a corpus of images and text created by humans, that's all.

The technology is impressive for sure, and it marks a new era in terms of possibilities, but it doesn't take my breath away, sorry.

That's not how that works. A few token comparisons detecting no side effects on what is measured does not mean there are zero side effects. "Zero side effects" is something far more difficult to prove and given all the anecdotes running around regarding ex-vegans, people who forget something important on the diet, people feeling better after eliminating a majority of plant-based foods, etc., I wish anyone a lot of luck trying to prove such a bold claim.
The OP’s point was that sugar is a problem in itself, so I was addressing that. You’re saying it’s total caloric intake which is a different claim. I do eat a good amount of fat, from the fudge and the dosa for example. Idk what my total caloric intake is like, but it’s probably around 2k

> do you think the gas taps will just be turned back on?

Well, kind of, whatever the outcome, Russia will have depleted much of its military strength and will need to reequip its army. That costs money, so they will be more or less forced (or even willing in case of a coup against Putin) to sell gas to the EU.

The real question is more what the EU will do. Most likely, the EU (or each country individually) will really want to diversify their energy sources and maybe be more self-reliant to not be subject to one actor like it is right now.

Nuclear may be one of the responses, but it's far from the only one.

On a side note, Russia is providing ~25% of the EU's uranium right now (in fairness, this dependency is easier to circumvent compared to the gas one).
A widely cited study shows high consumption of kimchi and soybean pastes as associated with ~1.6x greater risk of gastric cancer.

Basically, they haven't, or at least they hadn't 4 years ago when the car I have with it was made.

There is a good point to this though.

It’s an interesting idea, migration based on quality food.
> The Dutch are mere mortals too.

Yes and 80% of Dutch households have cars, and those who don't own cars aren't foregoing them voluntarily--rather, they have health or financial problems that prevent them from driving (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358798695_The_wides...). Of the remainder of the voluntarily carless, I suspect that's biased pretty heavily toward the young, healthy, and childless. Moreover, car ownership in the Netherlands is increasing--in 1992, 42% of Dutch households were car-free.

> Cargo e bikes solve at least 3 of those problems. Public transport solves the rest.

Maybe theoretically, but not in practice. You're probably not hauling furniture by ebike or by public transit, and for most people there are so many individually-rare-but-collectively-common things like this that it's not practical to rent a car twice a week.

> Being healthy is a result of your environment, not the other way around.

No one claimed that your environment is the result of being healthy...

> The transition sucks but you gotta do it.

You don't have to be car-less to be healthy. This is silly. Note also that rejecting the anti-car extreme doesn't imply opposition to more public transportation, cycling infrastructure, or changes to make cities more walkable.
Wow, they actually did it? I figured those were just empty promises that no one would follow up with to see if it was actually done.

Hunger is incredibly hard to study because it is made up of many physiological sensations and psychological responses to those sensations, and none of those are readily comparable between individuals.

So we don't really study hunger very much - there are some really good studies out there, but not very many.

And we don't talk about managing hunger, we talk about managing calories and managing weight.
I loved "Apocalypse Now" as a statement of the idiocy of politics and war, which forces humans to shed the thin layer of culture and humanity.

Sone interesting tidbits I learned after watching the movie (many years ago):

The movie's is based on Conrad's book "Heart of Darkness" (nothing new), which was regarded as a critique of the Belgian exploitation of (and atrocities in) the Congo region at the end of the 19th century, cf. these Wikipedia articles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_S... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness

And, btw, the last chapter of Barbara Tuchman's excellent book "The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam" contains an interesting reminiscense of how and why the US intervened in Vietnam.

I mean I guess you could argue some calculation kind of looks like a type of random walk (with intuited moves) based search. But that's kind of all AlphaGo does, and it does it so efficiently that's all it really needs to do.

I'm not a go player, but at least in chess, which is game theoretically very similar modulo branching factor, human thinking is much more of a mish mash of different search methods, different ways of picking moves, and strategic ideas(which I like to think of as sort of employing something more akin to A* or Dijkstra).

I.e there's a rough algorithm like this happening

1. Asses the opponent's last move, using some sort of abductive reasoning to figure out what the intent was and whether there's a concrete threat. If so, try to refute the threat(This can sometimes be a method of elimination search(best node search is a similar algorithm) if the candidate moves are few enough, or a more general one if not), find counterplay, find the lesser evil, or resign

2. If not, do you want to stop their plan or is it just a bad plan?

3. If you do, how?

4. If not, do you have any tactical ideas? search all the forcing moves in some intuitive order of plausibility and play the strongest one you find

5. If not, what is your plan? If you had a plan before, does it still make sense?

6. If not, find a new plan

7. Once you have a plan, how do you accomplish it? Break it into subgoals like "I want to get a knight to e5"

8. find the shortest route for a knight to get to e5(pathfinding while ignoring the opponent)

9. is there a tactical issue with that route?

10. rinse and repeat until you find the shortest route that works tactically.

I could probably elaborate this list for hours, getting longer and longer. But you probably get the idea at this point.

Defining “smart” for a child in terms of language doesn’t really make sense here - their parents‘ careers being seemingly irrelevant.

I'm personally very happy about it. To me, art is just pleasant, it's a matter of degree. Meaning is nice and all, but not necessary. And with this new way of generating art, people can have beautiful art, cheaply and as much as they want. No more cheap Target art everywhere. It's the replicator of art, nice, beautiful art is now post scarcity and I love it.
What we need isn't to make one "that the average person would choose", since they already have that.

What we do need is to make one that you may choose if you want to be able to fully control the system (with fine customization, and interaction with other programs including native codes in C), and is designed for advanced users who have read all of the documents, rather than trying to hide things from the user or believe they know better than what the end user specified, and also it must be one that avoids all of the bad stuff that Google put in.
I'd wager that it is the sense of individualism that causes the feeling of carrying dead weight as the dead weight does not feel any sense of responsibility towards the group.

Given what I have read about such individualistic behaviour, I am inclined to believe that public transportation as found in Denmark wouldn't function in the US simply because it requires a form of trust between citizen and state. You just enter the bus / metro / train, you generally don't have to show ticket or anything. You are "caught" however if an inspector happens to be on board and goes for a check. I have had such checks only on the M2 line in Copenhagen (the one from the airport). People just buy the ticket from their phone and understand their responsibilities.
As I understand it, the big selling point for the 4 modular ports is that it allows future motherboards to fit the older chassis. The drawback is that you only have four ports to customize.

What they could have easily done instead is to use the same port layout for as long as possible. Let's say Ethernet, 2x USB-A, HDMI, 3.5mm jack, and as many USB-C ports as they can reasonably fit. That would be good enough for at least 3 years and probably way longer. In my opinion 3-5+ years backwards compatibility is good enough. Of course this is only me saying this from my armchair.
You asked me upthread to come up with some strong arguments (to contrast with the really weak ones in the post) for the article's position. I'm asking you to do the same in the other direction.
That's basically the equivalent of RubySpec — reverse engineered from MRI (the original Ruby implementation) for use by Rubinius. It was adopted by the other alternative Ruby implementations too.

Twine is nice, I am using it to create the story for a game with visual novel elements in Unity.

I'm using a heavily modified version of Cradle[0] and it works great.

However, I personally had a bad experience while trying to contribute to Twine. I encountered a severe bug that made me lose all my stories and only happens if you have Twine in another language than English. I read the code, identified the issue, wrote a detailed issue and sent a PR[1]. I got no answer until a year later saying "not applicable anymore" since the app basically got a rewrite.

At least I'm happy a lot of it got rewritten however it still seems as unstable as before, with random crashes and stories that can disappear on their own.
