"Facial symmetry === beauty" is not that old of a scientific concept, relatively new if you compared to how long humanity has existed before someone started to really study it.

And even so, too symmetrical faces will look just as un-human as a face that is too asymmetric. You need a face that is just the right amount of symmetrical in order for it to actually look good.

I think you make it sounds simpler than what it is.

It's also not a model that is trained to make as realistic people as possible, it's trained on a lot of different things, so obviously it won't excel at making realistic people. But one can easily imagine that some future models will be heavily trained on making realistic people rather than semi-realistic everything, like Stable Diffusion is trained to do today.
Thanks for that clarification. Always thought it was stupid to go through all that hassle on the matrix infrastructure and simulated worlds just to adopt humans as batteries. Would have been easier to adopt nuclear power instead.

Niemann has admitted to cheating online on chess.com before 2020, like at least 50 other titled players. Niemann has denied ever cheating over the board.

After the win against Carlsen, chess.com removed him from one of their online tournaments, and a couple of chess.com adjacent streamers insinuated the online cheating. Under that pressure, Niemann mentioned a coordinated attack and admitted to to cheating at the age of 12 and 16, but not in prize money tournaments.

To see how easy it goes online, here is a video of Carlsen taking a move from Howell during a prize money tournament in Lichess:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NrOv8hxN6g

It can't be compared to deliberately using an engine, but clearly the standards are different online.

chess.com has announced that it will release an additional investigation into Niemann soon. The involvement of an online company into an OTB tournament is unprecedented and comes after the takeover of the "Play Magnus" group.

chess.com also released a private cheating conversation with Dlugy, from whom Niemann had taken lessons a long time ago.

So, out of the 50 cases only those who are "involved" in a win against Carlsen are being targeted. I assume that chess.com will keep the rest of the files for future "use".

FIDE, the real official organization, is investigating as well but will probably not find any OTB cheating cases.

Probably people from Google want to make some positive spin after the company killed another product.
> So what?

Getting caught for cheating has an impact on credibility. Credibility is a big deal and a hard problem. The boy who cried wolf is not a story of no wolves. Are you surprised that cheating impacts credibility?

In a court of law we might have standards like preponderance of evidence or reasonable doubt. In everyday human relations everyone is free to develop their own theories of credibility and to act upon their freedoms accordingly. You are free to judge whether Microsoft is trustworthy even without proof that they will betray your trust in the future, which nobody really knows.

I was doubtful of your implication of a causal relationship between poison gassing of a father and problems passed down genetically. However upon some research I came upon this study, which definitely supports such a relationship:

> You're asking for more than just evidence though, you're asking for concrete proof which is very different.

There is neither of these, though. There is only people speculating that they MUST be cheating because they didn't behave exactly as they were expected to.

> By your standards I shouldn't be able to speak until we examine the coin directly [...]

I never made any such statement or made and indication of specific "standards".

We should absolutely look at the coin if it's behaving this way. But we can't just conjecture that it must be weighted with zero evidence of that.
> You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair."

It's not fair. Neither is discriminating in the other direction because these people are not at fault for what their ancestors did, not to mention that affirmative action policies divide people along racial lines rather than the factor more relevant to today, class lines.

The discussion is about what (if anything) the linux kernel should do to help satisfy the guarantees that rust wants to make.

I've tried to root saguaro cuttings and was unsuccessful. I didn't use rooting hormone. (I had permits to move or destroy the saguaro, each of which had to be tagged and recorded).

Perhaps it's "possible" with some technical or hormonal manipulation but doubt they would grow to full size and somewhat doubt it's possible at all. Otherwise commercial growers would do it (large saguaro for landscaping can be very expensive).

Other cactus (particularly the Opuntia, prickly pears and cholla) will propagate very easily from cuttings and do so in nature.

The "advertisement" in the movie may be simply promoting the careers of those involved in its production.

For a related example, my dad wrote a book. The royalties were well into "not worth it", but he wrote the book to advance his professional prestige, and it worked for that.

Most authors of technical books, for example, fall into that category.

A director might want to make a movie to raise his market value in producing media for corporations, who have a constant need of such. Actors will do it for free just to be famous, which leads to all kinds of opportunities. Just look how the Star Trek TOS actors made a living off of their fame, and ST was a really low budget operation.

Hmm, I do wonder... are people better at software engineering now than they were 2 decades ago?

Testing, architectures, patterns, principles, software life cycle, building abstractions, system modeling etc.
Every Lisp has syntax. But the code is actual data and there is a separate syntax for this data, called s-expressions.

Source code is actually simple nested list data. For example the following snippet, which binds two variables A and B, defines a local function and then calls this local function. This is just an s-expression, which consists of symbols, numbers and lists.

Even though s-expressions have a syntax with numbers, parentheses, symbols, ... - they can not only be written in a text editor, one can also directly compute with them using the typical Lisp operators for lists, numbers, strings, symbols, ...

The following enters literal data, which is not executed as code.

CL-USER 5 > '(let ((a (+ 1 2))
(b (* 2 3)))
(flet ((add3 (a b)
(+ 3 a b)))
(add3 a b)))
(LET ((A (+ 1 2))
(B (* 2 3)))
(FLET ((ADD3 (A B)
(+ 3 A B)))
(ADD3 A B)))

We can substitute the symbol * with the symbol expt in this s-expression - the variable * just holds the last evaluation result:

CL-USER 6 > (subst 'expt '* *)
(LET ((A (+ 1 2))
(B (EXPT 2 3)))
(FLET ((ADD3 (A B)
(+ 3 A B)))
(ADD3 A B)))

Then this can be evaluated:

CL-USER 7 > (eval *)
14

Now, even though the program is written as a data structure, the Lisp program itself has syntax. Only function calls have the simple (operator args...) syntax. But there are also special forms and macro forms.

LET is a syntactic form and expects a list of (variable value) pairs as its first sub-expression. Then follows a body of subexpressions, where the variables can be used.

FLET is a another syntactic form: it expects a list of function definitions and a body. The function definition starts with a name, followed by an arglist and then by a body.

In reality this is more complex, since LET and FLET allow declarations, functions allow complex argument lists, declarations, documentations, etc.

So for FLET the top-level EBNF syntax would be like:

flet ((function-name lambda-list
[[local-declaration* | local-documentation]]
local-form*)*)
declaration*
form*

With more syntax for lambda-list, declaration, documentation and form.
In the past you just wrote the mystery meat yourself, and I assure you it didn’t taste better. Like, I literally wrote and deployed my own garbage JavaScript dependency manager in the late 2000s and we all thought it was great. It wasn’t.
When I started VB and Java Swing interfaces were allowed.

Today, every single business application is somehow supposed to have its own design language and can't use any standard UI library.

There is misunderstanding & exaggeration felt by those who feel their identity is under attack.

In this instance a statement simply saying their research doesn't perpetuate discrimination !== mandating your research must do ___ whatever ___

if the research does somehow discriminate, simply not accepting it into this particular society or some conference doesn't wipe it off the face of the earth or send someone to woke jail.

no one is forcing you to accept concepts of diversity & inclusion worldviews.

or that recognizing and trying to correct real factual imbalances somehow means that the 'other' group must be treated worse or be discriminated against.

multiple recent WSJ editorials are super similar to this article.

----

"‘Implicit Bias’ Training Cost Me My Nursing Job" [1]

the author argued that that training would have required her to 'discriminate.'

instead of the reality of a discussion highlighting the real, legitimate, and actually factual disparities of treatment and higher death rates of POC.

correcting imbalance !== actively treating white patients worse.

no one is mandating that we lower treatment quality to level the playing field. instead of trying to correct and raise everyone up!

btw a very common refrain: they knew this without actually taking the training?

----

"The College Board’s Racial Pandering" [2]

Glossing over the weird argument that funding pre-k is somehow bad because test scores have remained stagnant.. hand waving away huge benefits, including for the economy, printed by the wall street journal!

Author makes another false equivalency and presents un truths.

The addition of a new AP course on afam studies does not somehow take away from remedial math & science classes.

No one is forcing students to take this class.

author claims some ambiguous liberal education propaganda machine is aiming to "turn students who haven't even learned to read and write into social-justice warriors"

what student who can't read are taking an AP level course?

Author even spends paragraphs writing about what he assumes will be taught even though he says himself he doesn't even have a syllabus.

he complains that the afam course will ignore jewish & asian discrimination!?!

what? 1: we don't know this. 2: even so, that's not the subject of the course!

his language like "pander to black kids" sends shivers down my spine.

I love WSJ reporting.

But the anti-factual junk they are printing in their opeds makes it hard to read.

At least they are still labeling it oped, unlike fox news.

> Right but chasing what - she can't beat J8, QJ, KQ, any high flush draw.

Fair, there are definitely semi-bluffs that beat J4 here, and of course if Garret had a made hand she's toast.

There's also (and I think she says this at some point, "purely a bluff-catcher" IIRC) tons of pure air bluffs that J4 beats.

I simply do not understand the stance that if a poker player makes a call with a crap hand that turns out to be good, and then holds up, that she must be cheating. Not for nothing, but I have never heard such accusations leveled at a male player like this.

> If you're questioning someone's credibility, you can't really go with their own story about what happened as a reason to exonerate them.

I am not questioning her credibility.

Because there is no reason to.

The only reason anyone thinks she might be cheating is because her heads-up opponent angrily accused her of it. Not even after a bad beat! After his hand, which was never ever the best hand of the two, failed to make any of its draws over a river that was run twice.

I question the credibility of the accusation. Garret has every reason to accuse his opponent of cheating, especially given that he successfully intimidated Robbi into returning his chips, which to me is just insane.

Why the conversation isn't "poker player doesn't catch his outs, demands his money back" is beyond me.
You entirely missed their point.

- The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $310.3 billion in 2020

- The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $355.3 billion in 2021

I think their choice of "growth" was bad, but their point of "sucking up money" was spot on.

It is not an accident that China maintains a surplus, they are intentionally extracting money from them.

Let’s play this out.

What happens if everyone stops playing state lottos, and engaging in vices like drinking, smoking or doing drugs?

Take it to the logical extreme.

I’ll help.

Virtually every state experiences massive budget shortfalls overnight.

Police departments become critically underfunded.

Schools become insolvent.

Pensions go underwater.

Massive unemployment occurs do too bars, detox centers, etc closing.

This unemployment cascades as the supporting industries and businesses experience severe austerity.

I can continue but I trust that I’ve painted a grim picture of what will happen if rampant consumerism stops. The only way America can function without drastic change to the fundamental assumptions used by economists is by correcting people to engage in financially destructive or illegal behavior.

I understand they are at the start of their lives and end, but I thought in the middle there was a burst of growth, otherwise how could they reach their large sizes?

Was that for private vehicles that people bought themselves and paid for the fuel and electricity themselves? I remember a few years ago a study out of Europe of plugin hybrids that found the drivers didn’t plug them in. One the details came out we found that those were corporate vehicles assigned to them mainly for business use. They were reimbursed for gasoline purchases but were not reimbursed for electricity. The result was that they chose the option that results in less personal cost to them.

I find it hard to believe that people will elect to spend more money on a plugin hybrid and then not bother plugging it in as long as they have an easy access to a power outlet. Just the extra cost of gasoline in that scenario should overcome the minor effort of developing a habit of plugging in when you get home.
Here is my list

1) Minimize stress
2) Good sleep
3) Eat home cooked meals mostly (by this i don't mean microwaving stuff). Even in my late twenties i would proudly boast that the only thing i can cook is an egg. Now i can cook for myself, stuff i enjoy eating and stuff that doesn't take too long.
4) Reduce alcohol intake to no more than 3 beers once in a while.
5) Exercise 2-3 times a week.
6) Have a healthy social life, whatever that means for you.
