One possible reason why rich people do this, is that they like making money, which got them rich in the first place.

Liking to make money and liking to enjoy money are different traits, I suppose.
From years of second-hand accounts, my impression is that my friend's niece finds the in-the-moment experience of life off her meds to be somewhat more emotionally rewarding / rich / "genuine" than life on her meds. (On top of the nasty side-effects of the latter.)

I think it's possible that multispectral imaging may solve the difficulties these systems have with dark skin. However even if this were resolved, I would still oppose these systems because I don't want to live in a panopticon prison society, even if all the technology works correctly and never makes a false accusation. I think such a society is aesthetically disgusting.

Furthermore, an accurate system is not the same as a morally just system. A ubiquitous system which recognizes people with 100% accuracy could be used for evil if it ever fell into the wrong hands. Such powerful systems should never be created in the first place, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

My answer is we don't, and anythung a foundation like this puts effort towards is going to be biased(I've yet to see the gates foundation take up a social cause that would affect Microsoft's bottom line).

The whole idea of charities is that were letting private entities control the "altruism dollars" in society, the only reason to do this is to prevent the public from deciding the course of the funds and to add a layer of obscurity to make it harder for the public to see where the funds are going.

To the people responding to you basically saying "charities are good, what do you mean?", why is it that we have to donate money to the gates foundation to provide foreign aid, isn't that one of the things we expect our government to do and pay taxes towards?

I'm a product designer. I spend a significant amount of time taking screenshots—dropping them in Figma, slacking them to PMs and annotating them for engineers. The tool keeps screenshots suspended on your desktop until you decide what to do with them—save, annotate or copy it to clipboard. It doesn't save the screenshots if you don't want it to, so it prevents a ton of clutter.

Not to mention it has video recording that I frequently use to create video walkthroughs for features I'm working on.

The tool is a pretty expensive Mac App, but worth every penny.

45k-60k units would be a 1/5th or 1/6th of all domestic production in the US for a year.

Contract stipulates between 5k to 16.5k units per year, with a production run for a ten years, which means parts, repairs and overalls are going for another 10-15 years after the run. It's a quarter century investment, if not more - the last LLV was made in 1994:

I'll join those who benefit from personal workflow automation. I use

BASH
Alfred
Applescript
NodeJS
bbedit

in a zillion combinations to make things fast and easy. I have a bad memory so I have tons of BASH aliases and .bashrc terminal reminder files. I use Alfred, for example, to record 'time clientA 1 do an hour of work' in a tenth of a second. I use Alfred and AppleScript to shuffle windows around as I focus attention or finish things. bbedit's find/replace/regex stuff is better than anything I have ever seen. I use it to munge files in crazy ways. I have a set of files that act as a NodeJS ad hoc workspace. (Need to change the GUID on the records in a tsv file? Not a problem.)

And when I do something that has ongoing value, Alfred and/or bbedit give me a way to add them to the toolkit.

I'm pretty certain the industry standard has always been Avid Media Composer, even if today and for years nearly all of the market share is Final Cut Pro X with the minority remainder split between Premier Pro and Da Vinci. Most of the choices being made out there are, "do I want Media Composer or FCPX?" And FCPX is a lot less expensive, so that's how it goes.
No thanks. I'll use a pen and paper for note taking.
A repeat of 2022
What is the point of this? The Russian invasion in February has made salient the possibility of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan and upped the likelihood of WW-III and nuclear escalation in general (even though it left the front pages mostly, for military analysts possibility is now higher and ever increasing as the conflict drags on. Even though the Russians are struggling, don't underestimate China's ability to rationalize a move by concluding they have learned what pitfalls to avoid. If PsyOps against Russia and China prevent me from dying in a nuclear exchange, I'm all for it. February 2022 was a hinge point in history. It moves horrific scenarios into the plausibility that were, at best hazy potentials even a year earlier.

From [1]. Seems like there is a pattern of "AI asked to generate final results with only final results to learn from, immediately asked for the apple in the picture" in AI generators. I suppose lack of specialization in application domains of NNs is a deliberate design choice for these high-profile projects, in a vague hope of simulating emergent behaviors as seen in the nature and avoiding to be another expert system(while being one!), but that attitude seems limiting usefulness, here and again.

The idea of ‘human rights’ is a western construct, largely enacted after WWII by countries who invented concentration camps and dropped nuclear bombs on civilian populations.

Do human beings have the ‘right’ to live by their own, often ancient, standards? Or is everyone expected to bend the knee to the UN and adopt alien standards of living?

What’s interesting is that the very people who decry colonization support forcing western standards on ‘primitive’ cultures worldwide. They will not be happy until a Pride flag flies over every government building in Afghanistan.

Has anyone else been following the Twitter docs releases? It's an interesting way to propagandize. I don't think they have our best interest in mind sadly
Yeah. Generics is arguably Java's weakest point. They're an afterthought in the language's design and should in general probably be avoided in all but the most trivial cases. A lot of problems go away if you stop trying to make Java into Haskell or C++ and just avoid the feature unless absolutely necessary, which you rarely do.

That said, I did once sorta port a somewhat tortured definition of Haskell's parser monads to Java's type system for an event at work, mostly as a joke. Like it's doable. Wouldn't want to maintain that code, but it's doable.

In general I don't think "does it confuse beginners" is a great metric for what makes a good programming language. You'll be able to find a beginner who is confused by almost anything. Beginners are hopefully not the same people who will write or maintain the code.

>There's hardly any technical reason to choose Java in favour of Scala3 today, except one: the team's lack of Functional Programming expertise.

I disagree about your premise at multiple points, but I want to focus on just one point - In my experience, Functional Programming is a large enough of a technical reason to not choose Scala in a company of a reasonable size. It's actually such a big reason that it deserves more than as an afterthought as you have it written.

I worked in Scala for 10 years. Not only was it difficult finding seasoned Scala devs, but also we often had to compromise by hiring Java devs and training them on Scala. Time and time again, functional programming was always the most difficult hump for them to grasp and it took experienced devs forever to learn the language and a new paradigm at the same time. Sure, you could hire someone who knew functional programming already and came from a background writing Haskell, but they were rare and usually commanded exorbitant salaries that made sure they were never in the equation to begin with.

Not to mention, you better have a disciplined team with strict linting rules and styleguides, otherwise your devs will go off the rails using Scala in ways that the team isn't prepared to learn. Or if you have Java-trained-Scala devs, they might revert to their old OOP ways.

Because of that, it actually causes more problems, resulting in worse quality software and worse deliveries overall.

It's too much of a risk, really. Especially when Java is not really a terrible choice in a large enough organization - same huge JVM ecosystem, large pool of devs, mature toolset, etc..
> other universities, schools, and employers will become increasingly rigid about policing language.

You're exaggerating the situation again. The Stanford list in question is itself not even rigid, nor about policing. I could make anything sound evil and nefarious by completely misrepresenting it as well. Others are calling this list evidence of authoritarianism. I feel like the response here is really off the charts, when the list itself hardly takes itself that seriously. Alternatives are "suggested". Words on the list are acknowledged to be "potentially" harmful, making room for nuance. They even admit that their title "eliminate" is overselling the effort here. Their main stated goal is to "educate", not to "police".

> Would you not be concerned if words like "abortion" could not be spoken?

Again, no one is banning anyone from speaking any words. If my school instituted a policy that they didn't want to mention abortion in any of their websites, I would be fine with that. I bet your company, wherever you work, would be against you posting about abortion on the company website too (unless it's directly related to abortion healthcare). But my school isn't banning me to say or write abortion (or any other words), and neither is Stanford.

> This reaction shows how severely Stanford's action transgresses deeply held values.

I'm very leery about deeply held beliefs relating to "freedom of speech" these days. It seems to me in many cases those particular values are deeply held just until the moment someone transgresses the belief holder. And I'm not even referencing current events here.

As far as Stanford goes, they'll be just fine. But I'd feel bad for any kid who couldn't attend because their parents got caught up in a culture war.
Even in some of the martial arts that have a fairly continuous tradition, such as karate or wing chun, there are often debates about what the different moves in kata/forms/patterns actually mean.

I've seen people come up with all sort of crazy and completely impractical 'applications' of karata kata moves.

I also remember being told a move in the first wing chun form is a jab to the collar bones with the finger tips (completely impractical). Then one day a master come from Hong Kong and told it was an eye gouge with the thumbs (very practical!).
> I think I see what the issue is. You are referring to male gaze, whereas I'm referring to Male Gaze. That's fine, but this project is about Male Gaze, or rather Female Gaze.

I've been acknowledging your point of view, and now you finally acknowledge my perspective, instead of continuously ignoring it. Thank you.

> Did you notice that you just included the definition of male gaze from the person who coined the term, and it is the definition that I've been using?

Yes, you are using that definition, that doesn't mean everyone agrees of your interpretation as defined in the articles I linked. Not only that, you make assertions that the website's intent is only to view art pieces from a male gaze, when the About clearly has criticism towards male objectification. Why is the website not subject to criticism again, because you view that is no context?

> Where did I claim they have no motive?

You've continuously dismissed any criticism of the website. This is extremely obvious. First, you state that the website is merely trying to look at art pieces from a non-male gaze perspective. Then, when shown an About Me where there is criticism of the male perspective, you argue that the "male gaze" does not mean men checking out women. When presented with multiple definitions, you cherry-pick the Wikipedia one, ignore my arguments that assert that the "male gaze" can't be decoupled from the real world concept because then it wouldn't make any sense. And then you claim this whole time, you've actually understood what my and other's arguments against the website has been, despite prior dismissing everything we said.

> And you are now implying that if a female gaze exists, then a male gaze cannot be wrong? That's obviously a terrible conclusion.

Why is that a terrible conclusion? You've completely absolved all criticism of feminist thought. Why? Why do you think male sexuality is a bad thing but female sexuality expression is good? That sounds pretty sexist to me.
