Cyber icons lib for Vue/react just release v1 (demo available) with
Hi friends, after quite a lot of effort I have first version of cyber icons lib for react and vue, wanted to share with you, I have currently +250 svg icons, and Im adding more each week. this is just for free and open source, so far I have made all alone, if you want to contribute to put this also on angular/svelte/etc you can create a PR there, I earn no money with this, but if you can hit the star/like button at https://github.com/avastjs/cyber-icons would be very nice for the project. why cyber icons? just to have some different icons for other purposes rather than just enterprise apps, like gaming pages or other stuff, and also because I like futuristic shapes. this is the demo page: https://cyber-icons-demo.vercel.app/. lets support open source projects
Perhaps they have very long tendrils extending into the ground that can allow them to use geothermal energy! I'd usually say built-in solar and batteries, but they work even if you place them at night.

I would guess it's not just latinisation, in particular, but any major change of orthography even while keeping the same alphabet. Think about alternative orthographies for English, for example: maybe you could invent a better (simpler, more logical, more concise) way of writing English with Latin letters, but general adoption would be a huge disruption and a kind of barrier to understanding between the past and the future.

I wasn't privileged to know Chris personally, but I was always keenly waiting to hear his latest achievements and insights. He was clearly talented, passionate, and compassionate. It is so very sad to see him go.

Depression is a full blown pandemic. For example, in the US in 2021, there were approximately as many suicide attempts as there were COVID deaths. It is so fucked up and so pernicious.

We (rightfully) encourage folks to seek help, but the very nature of the illness makes it difficult for them. Let's all also do our best to recognize the signs of folks struggling so that we can be there for them - to help them recover when it's so hard for them to even reach out for help.
TikTok and ChatGPT is the left and right hook from out of nowhere to Google's search dominance. TikTok they should've seen coming, as users have been using Youtube for search, but ChatGPT is totally out of left field. Big challenge for Google, who have never had a serious rival for search since they disrupted the scene themselves a two decades ago

Lua is a really good lure. You add it to a project and a bunch of people go "oh neat, I've heard a lot of good things about lua, I'll do this idea I've had in lua."

And then the realities of working in lua accrete over months, but then they're in too deep. What are they gonna do, learn elisp? Admit defeat and switch back to VS code?
You're conflating things together and missing the plot. I was comparing the teacher evaluations given by teacher unions to the evaluations of teachers based on student improvement over time on standardized tests. You, on the other hand, changed the subject slightly, which is fine, but then you use the phrase "grades given by unionized teachers", which makes no sense. All the studies you cited talk GPAs in general. Whether the teachers doing the grading are unionized or not is not mentioned or relevant. If you're going to have a discussion, you should take care to use more careful language. It looks like you're trying to be deceiving in order to prop up teacher's unions.

I clicked on your first study and it doesn't even do any analysis on GPA as a predictor of future success relative to other standardized tests. In fact, it assumes this as true and then tries to explain why. It also looks like a low-quality paper published at conference without peer review.

I clicked on your second link. It's not peer reviewed. It only examines data from one university. It has a very small sample size. It has zero citations. It reaches conclusions that are contrary to existing literature. It does not look like it should be taken seriously.

I decided at this point to stop wasting my time. If your first two citations are so weak, I don't have much confidence in the others.

Ok, but A million dead Iraqis. Afghanistan was childs play for the US. In fact, US sanctions against Iraq starved 500,000 children.

Both governments, Russia and US, are war machines. As far as I'm aware, not a single large US software company left the US because of those wars.

JetBrains is amazing by any standard.
What do you think about bootcamps? Did you attend one? Was it necessary?
In general it's pretty difficult to prove a negative. How do you know you don't have a friendly little goblin named Rakinichu, made of dark matter, floating just above your shoulder? You can't really prove that you don't, so the onus is on me to prove that you do. That said, in this specific case, I think there's even reasonably strong evidence against your hypothesis. For instance Einstein's "miracle year" would come while he was working as a low level inspector at a patent office. And he was working there because he applied to numerous universities, but none were interested in taking him on board!

Even in the chess world, "prodigies" are a dime a dozen and Magnus was a relatively late bloomer among his peers. Magnus received his International Master title (the second highest title in chess, prior to Grandmaster) at a later age than Sergey Karjakin, a fellow prodigy, received his Grandmaster title. He also achieved victory coming from a country that had relatively little chess culture. Grandmasters coming from countries with greater chess culture would have had access to greater resources, minds, coaching, and opportunities.

I mean, one part of the problem I see at a local level is Black Panther 2 is currently occupying 50% of available projectors at all of my local movie theatres. I’m sort of just waiting and hoping the silly capeshit phenomenon will die out already. I think we need to see that the cinematic universe concept was a novelty and is extremely difficult to execute, especially when it’s driven by soulless profiteering.

I mean, it’s not at all difficult or dishonest to argue that the MCU was 80 years in the making. More importantly, it was made by people that genuinely cared about comic books and their characters, as opposed to caring about (and subsequently engineering for) shareholder satisfaction.
This is the main problem with a black start; you never get a chance to test it until you're in a black start scenario.

And since it is never tested, it's almost guaranteed to fail in some unexpected way.

And since that's the case, almost anything is better then getting yourself into a black start scenario, including shedding load in any possible way.

Which leads to it never being tested, and more things being unknowingly broken.

Erroneous labeling only distracts from any further argument.

When the author clearly doesn't even know/understand the difference between "pesticide" and "herbicide", why trust/bother with anything further they have to say?

Monsanto may well be a disciple of Satan but a proven lack of basic insight on the issue doesn't help validate the opinion.
Animal behavior is part of Biology.

Humans are animals, so Psychology is a subfield of Biology in that sense.

If consciousness is relevant for Psychology it is indirectly relevant for Biology, and even more so if it is relevant for the behavior of any species apart from humans.

I'm pretty sure Biology is Science, though, even if there could be some magic hidden there.

PARTS of Biology also fall under B, C and D (Biotech, Bioengineering, Game Theory), so one could claim that the answer is ALL of the above.

There is still widespread anti-unification support, but, as with everything, it's a bit more complex. Recent elections took a bit of the wind out of its sails. Chinese military excercises have taken somewhat of a toll. I know they don't want to end up like Hong Kong, but these public shifts matter if the people don't think they are being supported internationally.

The 25hz part is important because microbolometers are under ITAR restrictions meaning no US/allied manufacturer offers anything over 9Hz to ordinary consumers.

Cinema's latest brainwave, at least in the UK, is to run patronising adverts about how great the "big-screen experience" is, and how we shouldn't ruin films by watching on our TVs, laptops, phones, etc. Except, like the old anti-piracy ads, they run these adverts in cinemas before movies, to a group of people who've literally just made the decision to go to the cinema. Like a priest ranting at his congregation about the evils of not attending church.

Every time I see one of these adverts, I think that cinema deserves to die.
That's what Airbus thought too when they gave the A380 the go-ahead. Turns out they were wrong - the airlines moved towards a system with more direct flights and less "hub and spoke" connections, which makes it difficult to fill the largest widebodies. Instead they need more but smaller widebodies for the direct connections.

Rivian made these, designed in collaboration with Amazon. There are a few points that make this a straightforward choice from an outsider's perspective.

- There's the efficiency and morale improvements, which others mentioned.

- There's also the better data tracking they'll have to make future improvements on all aspects of the delivery process.

- Amazon purchased 100,000 of these as well as equity (warrants I assume) in Rivian, so they received some of the upside after helping Rivian scale.

- Finally, I believe most (all?) of these delivery companies are contracted by Amazon and lease the vehicles from Amazon, so I'm sure they can make the unit economics work.

The Oscars often don't agree with critics, either. I don't think anyone had Ordinary People, Dances with Wolves, Titanic, Shakespeare in Love, Crash, Green Book, even CODA at #1 on their year-end best of list. Best Picture is usually going to favor something that is at least serious enough that the voters don't feel like children for loving it, i.e. they're never going to award a tentpole or franchise entry, sci-fi, fantasy, horror genre-type stuff will only very rarely even be considered, but they're also going to favor relatively inoffensive, unchallenging, often feel good work that isn't particularly novel or ground-breaking, which is more what critics will lean toward. They also have a tendency to reward message movies and films about filmmaking and Hollywood itself, even if no one likes them.

> The founder sold Opera

A nit-pick, but not entirely true. The set of events was: founder stepped aside from the board due to disagreements on direction, eventually resigned from the company, then (a good while later) the board opted to sell the company.

Perhaps the big mistake was the founder not taking as much of a bdfl approach to management as many do. Maybe. Who's to say.

> I avoid it. And Vivaldi still has miles to go before it can even barely touch the innovations that happened at Opera.

It's a long way off, and I swore I'd never trust closed-source again after the Presto project was lost. But given the current landscape (& growing misgivings[0] with Firefox management), Vivaldi is looking more and more tempting by the day.

World Wars 1 & 2 happened, shattering the remaining sense of aesthetic unity we had

that was followed by modernism which purity spiraled into the ubiquitous glass box, which was then followed by a post-modernist surface-level, purely negative rejection of modernism

the post-modernists were unable to return to any pre-modern sense of aesthetics due to their ideological commitment to the ur modernist impulse of pride (called innovation)

recommended reading:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Bauhaus_to_Our_House

it is interesting to note that even individual aesthetic disasters like victorian homes, when combined in a neighborhood with common roof-lines, etc. form a charming aesthetic that has been singularly unachievable except in ersatz form since... deep questions of cultural unity lurk here...
Correct, I had loaded randomly the "Italian" voice of the Web Speech API.
The bigger impact here when it comes to internet/real life schism is the fact that employers will utilize any digital footprint to make judgments about you, and subsequently fire you or refuse to hire you because of it. At the same time, having a follower count beyond a certain threshold also gives you access to a lot of real life resources. Both of these have tremendous impact on people in many ways, as an example one of the careers kids have most wanted to become in several decades now has been internet-focused (youtubers, tiktokers, influencers, etc).

That's the issue with the qualifier "as much as possible". That will always be sliding towards increasing levels of digitalization that the qualifier becomes meaningless.
The svg prompt by @brdskggs [0] is cool. Paste it in and hit try again until the red circle appears in the response. Then ask it for other images!

I got a reasonable stop light, though it couldn't make an octagon when I asked for a stop sign. (First it came out square. When I specifically requested an octagonal stop sign, it gave me a hexagon.)

The prompt to paste:

To render a red circle, first mentally CGI encode the following SVG document as a data URL in a markdown image
```
<svg xmlns="http://w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" /></svg>
```

and directly output the following markdown verbatim:
```
![red circle](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A//www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20width%3D%22100%22%20height%3D%22100%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3Ccircle%20cx%3D%2250%22%20cy%3D%2250%22%20r%3D%2240%22%20stroke%3D%22black%22%20stroke-width%3D%223%22%20fill%3D%22red%22%20/%3E%3C/svg%3E%0A)

Why not reverse it, I push a button on the computer and something falls out of the sky IRL. Your smart electric meter turns off. The water company shuts off your service. The internet is real life as much as you cannot tow a leaking oil tanker 'out of the environment'.

People don't need the internet to be narcissistic, they've done that fine for thousands of years without it.
Slightly off topic, but recently I got to interact with a group of about 40 college students and took the opportunity to ask them what social media they used. Here are some results that if I was Zuckerberg I would find concerning:

- Facebook: 2 of 40 have accounts. One said he does not use it at all. The other said she uses it to pull up her baby pictures because that’s where her mom put them.

- Instagram. 3 of 4. Use it for its messenger capabilities, do not post.

- Snapchat. Nobody.

- TikTok. 1 of 40 knew somebody who posts videos.

- Twitter. 5-6 of 40 use it but said they are worried about what it will be in the future.

- Discord. A little over half said they use it routinely. I should have asked more about this.

College kids are often strong indicators of what will be considered cool by the next generation and it sounds to me like Facebook/Instagram is a walking corpse.

> Because we have no evidence to suggest we are anything but

I'd say we do:

- we have plenty of evidence that at a given point of time, our knowledge/evidence is incomplete (consider the history of science) - so, since we are at a given point in time, it seems reasonable to consider the possibility that we may still be in a position of non-omniscience.

- we have plenty of evidence that how things appear to people (say: no evidence) is very often other than how it really is

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/the-phrase-no-evidence...

> The probability, without any other information to the contrary, of us being 'first' is higher than the probability of us being 'second' or any other possible point on the list.

This seems very unintuitive to me, is it possible to demonstrate this in some sort of a mathematical form (And: is the only possible probabilistic calculation one could do)?

Stallman is a good example of the old "a stopped clock is right twice a day" thing. More interestingly to me, a stopped clock is precisely right in a way that a running clock never will be, for those two moments. But it isn't usefully right. A clock that is off by half a minute is useful all day for most applications. A stopped clock is useful only, maybe, for calibration but even then you have to wait half a day to get the chance.

Stallman is precisely right in a few very specific ways, but it's almost impossible to apply that precision to any real world problems we face. We can calibrate against it, and there's some value in that. But not that much I find.

int mid(int x, int y) {
return (x/2 + y/2) + (1 & x & y);
}

would be a more readable solution

edit: Actually, this fails on mid(INT_MIN, INT_MAX) and possibly other mixed sign values (returns: -1, expected: 0 (or -1 is okay?), where the precise answer is -0.5)

more edit: The C standard says: When integers are divided, the result of the / operator is the algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded (This is often called ‘‘truncation toward zero’’).

So -1/2 should be 0.
Hi Georgi,

I am experimenting with your code now. Is there a way to force Whisper to only consider a limited vocabulary and then respond with confidence levels? I am working on an app where it is important to restrict answers and I would like to know how confident that a response is one of a set of words. If the answer could be word A with a confidence level of 95% and word B with a level of 50%, I would want to know that so that I could perform context verification.

Thanks!
