Race is in the eye of the viewer. You can choose your race, but it has no value unless other people recognize it. Ultimately, though, race is defined by skin color, which is a quick way to identify people. This article seems to be creating an argument, where one was never needed.

Sometimes society does things to help organize itself.
Bummer, I visited a museum* using HoloLens to bring a command bunker to life, and even though it felt a bit gimmicky, it was really interesting and I could immediately see it being super useful in tons of other museums (e.g. seeing dinosaurs, explain physics/astrology concepts, show vehicles that no longer exist, etc. etc.)

* Musée de la Libération de Paris - musée du Général Leclerc - musée Jean Moulin - yes, that's actual full name
Russia occupying Berlin is pretty much impossible.

Russia occupying Kyiv is possible, but rather unlikely. I think it's less likely than a Russian collapse.
Yes and frame conditions… Wheels should still where they were, nothing stolen from the glovebox, no bodies added to the trunk, brake lines uncut, etc.
This whole line of reasoning can also be used to argue that there is no such thing as culture: neither "French culture", or "English culture", or "New York culture", or "Florida culture", etc. exist.

Also, population mixing and movements across time doesn't preclude the existence of more or less distinguishable groups inside the said population.
I look at them a good bit. Having a good tool like Google Photos or similar makes it easy to jump back to the photos from that one trip a decade ago, that holiday together with the family no longer with us, the dreams I had for myself in highschool. I find it interesting to see the changes in my life objectively by looking at myself, the places, the people, and things around me at various points in my life. I find it helps me continue to keep perspective of my life in the same way some might keep a journal. It can help me jump back into the shoes of who I was 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and reflect on who I am today and where I'm going.

If I don't have any real reference points, its hard to measure things. Its hard to improve things you cannot measure. And sometimes it just feels good to help remember the good times with people no longer with us.

What part of Studio is Blender? I'm very familiar with both Studio and Blender, and this claim surprises me.

Studio itself is a Unity app. The parts library is the LDraw library with their own custom parts.
They’ll be the largest single party bloc, they should have some real sway.

I think some of their opponents will argue “they did well but not well enough, so it’s fine to keep ignoring them” but I don’t think that’s a wise move.
Living in a country where marijuana consumption is still illegal (as in, you go to jail or at least get a criminal record, not even decriminalized) the frustrating thing is that when medical evidence is up against public prejudice and ignorance, the politicians will always side with the public rather than the science.

Is there a way now to pull all the data. This is scary and I’m right now buying USB for storage, but I don’t know how to bulk retrieve all my photos. I imagine they probably close any ways to export the data to not migrate to other service. All I can think is to do a Selenium program to go through all the entries but I think it will be a bitch to have it resume from a certain point and not miss something
I'm fairly confident that if I actually opened the support request with Amazon first, the ending would have been the same. At no point did Logitech say that their online support was only for items bought through their online store.

Sure, Amazon could have said "yeah, call us" instead of saying that I should see the manufacturer, and it would have saved me half an hour.

But I was quite disappointed with Logitech's reaction.

I've had an issue with a bag and when I took it up to one of their stores for repairs, they just took it in for repairs for free without any question asked whatsoever. Not even where or when I'd bought the item (I didn't buy it from their name-stores, but from some generic department store). Didn't ask to see any receipt. Just "It'll take around a week. Can you leave it now?"

Note that this wasn't some fancy boutique bag or brand, it was barely pricier than the mouse.

Since I'm complaining about Logitech, I should name the brand with great service: Le Tanneur, a French leather goods company.
Using an Apple Silicon Mac? I'm seeing the same and my research is showing that it's an issue with the virtualization.
> After all, necessity is the mother of all inventions. If china was able to buy, at "slightly" elevated prices, western produced chips, the gov't would not really be able to convince businesses to take the hit and pay high capital cost to produce a worse version just as a stepping stone. The investment capital is likely to be wasteful, or misspent - since the "fallback" of western products are available (until they go to war like russia, and the cut off is abrupt and sudden).

What do you mean? This is China we're talking about. Every major company has a cell of Communist party members. If the government makes a decision, you follow and don't complain too loudly or risk political consequences. And, IIRC, the Chinese government already made the decision to build up their chip industry years ago (Made in China 2025).

IMHO, it's quite plausible that not implementing an export ban would have just allowed them to make the transition to domestic production more cheaply and more smoothly.
I think it's interesting to contemplate the process... when an AI tool "remixes" existing works to make a new work, is it "merely" using statistical processes to do so, or does it "understand" what it's doing?

But perhaps the process doesn't matter as much as the end result.

Maybe another interesting aspect to consider is: humans create new things (even if by remixing and deriving from old things) all the time, because they want to, because they choose to do so.

Thus far, these AI creations have been made at the behest of humans demanding them.

Perhaps that will, that desire, to make something new in the first place will remain a differentiating factor.
So true. The name made people want to stick it to “big tech”.
Unlike in the 80s - most programmers no longer need to know assembler/machine code to do their jobs. The skill floor has been lowered - so that programmers like me can get a job.
If a quantum system is spherically symmetric, like the hydrogen atom is, then its energy states are gonna correspond to certain groups of spherical harmonics. That's why they're used when you study the hydrogen atom.

This comes out of a branch of math called representation theory.
It feels like a good time to read this again about making music properly :)

> I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I then thought using samples was cheating, so I recorded real drums. I then thought that programming it was cheating, so I learned to play drums for real. I then thought using bought drums was cheating, so I learned to make my own. I then thought using premade skins was cheating, so I killed a goat and skinned it. I then thought that that was cheating too, so I grew my own goat from a baby goat. I also think that is cheating, but I’m not sure where to go from here. I haven’t made any music lately, what with the goat farming and all.
Creativity and innovation didn't ever stop.

These are separate issues. It's about the impact of nitrogen on biodiversity in protected habitats. Unlike carbon dioxide, the effects of nitrogen emissions are very local. Which is why this is mainly a problem in small, densely populated countries like the Netherlands and neighbouring Belgium, where areas with a lot of agriculture, also often contain a lot of small but protected nature reserves in between the farms.

Think of it this way: The relative speed between your car and a tree is whatever speed you’re going. 80 is more than 60.

But if everyone around you is going 80 and you’re going 50, you’re the tree. People going too slow on the freeway are dangerous. But not as dangerous as people going crazy fast.

The real problem is when people go slow in the fast lane. Or fast in the slow lane.
Don't publish it then.
I think that most people are attached to the idea that humans have some type of "soul", even if they don't call it that. This soul, as the thinking goes, is completely separate from material reality, and allows people to have ideas that come "out of nowhere" and are not inspired by anything in particular. In this way, humans are supposedly different from machines, whose outputs are a mere function of their inputs.

This is the root of the objection to AI. To say that humans are similar would imply that a person's thoughts are a function of their sensory experiences, and that is not a popular view.

Similarly, people like to think that a person's behavior is not a mere function of their experience- that they are capable of "choosing" how to react to their circumstances. They will accept no explanation that appeals to material conditions or biology. A man steals bread not because he is poor and hungry, nor because of some chemical reaction in his brain, but because he "chose" to steal. The part that chooses would his "soul", which cannot be explained in terms of cause-and-effect.
It really comes down to where you use it, it's amazing in a clover club and some other cocktails. I wouldn't use Aviation in a gin and tonic where you want some juniper flavor, I'd get a proper london dry for that.
Or maybe the right models have not been built yet or plugged in? Another commenter told me about openpose information which is an AI that detects human poses. If that neuron is plugged in, it might lead to more accurate numbers. Stable diffusion is trying to do this.
>the last example is not a simple case

As far as shell scripting goes, this is hardly anything to write home about. Looks simple enough to me.

It just retains the header by printing the header first as is, and then sorting the lines after the header. It's immediately obvious how to do it to anybody who knows about head and tail.

And with Miller it's even simpler than that, still on the command line...

That doesn't even make sense. Nobody believes that "race" is the cause of phenotypic differences between groups, it's the outcome of it. It's a useful, albeit broad, term to distinguish distinct populations of people who, over many generations, have genetically converged within their own group and genetically diverged from others.

Why must they lie?
Computer Science departments should be supporting this project to buy this gadgets to teach students sensor inputs and event driven designs.
I think my post is more representative of the truth than yours. I am sure you are telling the truth, but these unique talents you are talking about are not representative of the bulk of people working in research.
That’s not useful in a scientific context. Kind of like trying to come up with a test to see if someone is “crazy”. “Crazy” is not a diagnostic term, you wouldn’t split crazy and non-crazy people in a scientific context. What you would do is, for example, consider a group of people who have experienced psychotic episodes, or people who experience persecutory delusions. Those terms, while not perfectly precise, are at least repeatable and well-understood.

"The Turing test never works because the cyons speak, think and act just like us... But the hands, son... The hands are always... off. No one knows why, but it's from the earliest days, even before they learned how to manufacture the cyons in our image. Those damn generative AIs were never able to get them right, even when they were just pictures and they probably never will. No one knows why, but we don't need to know the why. It's still the only way we can tell them apart, son. Check the hands. The hands."
Race is a proxy measure that weakly correlates with genetic history. Seems easier to just use the direct measure which can be determined with high accuracy (identity by descent through DNA sequencing).

I think the problem is that race is so deeply embedded in people's minds that even scientists who try to be objective struggle to disentangle theories from their preconcieved notions.
If you just copy and paste from Reuters then you're not a real journalist. ChatGPT can't travel to a war zone to find out what's going on there. So real journalists aren't going anywhere.
> I think the opposite: creating art (e.g. Drawing) was only for the ones who had drawing skills. Now, it's being democratized and everyone, regardless of being talented in drawing or not, can freely express their feelings and creativity.

There was never anything stopping anyone from picking up a pencil and learning to draw. The idea there's some inborn "talent" for art is absurd. There is only people who practice and people who don't.

What you are actually "democratizing" is the ability to produce finished products without ever putting in any kind of work.

Which means you are absolutely devaluing the people who actually did put in the work.

It is a terrible thing. A miserable race to the bottom of human expression.
When you see a differential pair, simply imagine two independent lines that are each referenced to ground. (That's close to what happens on the PCB anyway, if a ground plane is present. Most of the return current ends up ground-referenced.) Two lines that would have exhibited 50-ohm characteristic impedance in a single-ended circuit will form a ~100-ohm diff pair.

In other words, the capacitance isn't doubled, since the capacitance is split by the imaginary ground between the two lines. It looks like two caps in series, not in parallel. Same is true for the load resistance.
A while ago, I started writing small guides for myself. As a growing developer, everyday I learn and have to do something new. I think it would be nice to write a blog, because most of those new things I've figured out by my own (with research and little help of docs and articles), not everything is done and well explained on the internet.
Yeah, I'm sure openai could've trained gpt4 on a 10k$ machine.
wat? SSDs aren't quite to 10TB yet, at least consumer ones. Do you mean multiple SSDs in an enclosure? Because I sure hope you didn't end up with a fake. Fakes have hacked firmware that makes it report the wrong capacity, and you only find out when you go to retrieve your data.

Additionally, I've heard SSDs aren't great long term backup mediums, compared to mechanical hard drives. I personally use both.
> I can't check the software at the moment but if they provide the license file(s) and offer a way to get the source then there's nothing wrong, really.

Notably, it would either need to be a written offer according to GPL2[0],

> b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

…and GPL3[1],

> b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.

…or, if the distribution medium is not physical, the source code would have to be provided in the same way as the original object code / binary:

> d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

So, for instance, one would expect a "download source" link on https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page but I don't see one.

I think, I have to clear up a little bit!

First, I had no message in relation to empowering/networking or the like!

I told the little anecdote with this in mind: if someone found the thesis work of my former girlfriend (now spouse), and investigated its production method, and would correctly conclude that it was typeset in junks on a Berthold ads 3000 typesetting system, then pasted up on film on a lighttable, than blown up with a reproduction camera and then contact printed on A3 photopaper - the investigator might be tempted to dismiss the diagnosis, as the effort and costs are absolutely ludicrous in relation to the importance of the work. I just showed how such an obvious discrepancy can have a very plausible explanation.

For the "justice" part: my gf asked the teacher for permission to have the work typeset by her boyfriend and the teacher consented, making clear, that only text content and quality of the practical work (the colorized photographs) would be considered for grading, not the outer form as this would put her "out of competition". This was also outlined in the written assessment. In addition, every 3rd party involvement had to be declared in the preposition. It was also only possible, because the thesis subject was of artistic nature, where no strict rules for outer form existed.
It's not that it's "not good enough" it's that it doesn't solve any real problems. I used to work at an agency with vertical dedicated to immersive tech. We did a ton of experimentation, prototyping and building demo experiences for AR visors and lots of related devices. Companies paid us loads of money to build glitzy experiences and come up with clever uses for their tech. We made a lot of neat gimmicky things that were fun for a minute or two but nothing that anyone would ever want to deploy at scale. Phone-based AR is basically already deployed at massive scale and we haven't seen any followup to Pokemon Go in over 5 years. AR just isn't a useful idea. Maybe another order of magnitude improvement in the visual quality and battery life would breath new life, but otherwise it's just a dead end.
Netflix is different from traditional broadcasting in that they always order an entire season. That makes the cancellations more dramatic because instead of a pilot or few episodes like in the past they instead keep performing a Firefly on their viewers over and over again.
For such a flimsy concept, race is surprisingly stubborn and resilient.

Already a few people saying yeah it's not perfect but it's a rough approximation.

No, that's the whole point, it's not. It's astrology level science. There's no there there.

Now, will chart gee pee tee play a role in your writing efforts?
I'm extremely impressed compared to where it was before (which was frankly frightening) but the error rate is pretty bad really, if a person made this you'd either assume it was intentional or they had severe problems. It may be 5%-10% looking at individual fingers to see if they are correct but each hand has (somewhere around) 5 fingers to get right. Diffusion just doesn't lend well to connected things like counts of objects or coherent text.
Plastics are releasing "trash" all the time. And yes, they lose some buoys every year. The upside is that people don't try to steal the plastic buoys but they sometimes steal the stainless steel mounts

I don't think is a big concern but it's funny considering they are scrutinizing what other organizations are releasing to the river
> IMHO this is killing the license.

Some people say GPL is dying because nobody use it due to its terms.

Some people say GPL is dying because everyone use it but nobody follows its terms.

The truth is in somewhat in the middle. There is more GPL adoption out there than people think, but respecting terms is a nontrivial effort. Some infringements are done in good faith and resolved equitably once noted, but detection as a whole is undoubtedly difficult, and we only see the negative headlines when it happens. That doesn't mean the license is dying; in fact, it's doing the opposite: helping people out there building software in the open, and taking to task businesses that don't play fair. We just have to accept that success rate will just never be 100% compliance, because legal constructs never reach that.
