I am implying that up until very recently translating Classics was thought to be a very serious job where the author certainly tried to give a new angle to the work(else why translate), but did not try to radically alter the meaning. You change the angle of the spotlight, or maybe the brigtness, you don't change the object at which the spotlight is pointing.

Making a "feminist" translation of the Odyssey under the pretension that the original is a "patriarchal fantasy" is not a serious work and shouldn't be taken as such.
"IGL is designed to support multiple backends implemented on top of various graphics APIs (e.g. OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan) with a common interface."
the screenshot could/should probably be better, but that doesn't mean the library is incapable of producing higher quality renders. I haven't dug in, but I am assuming this is basically Meta's WGPU. if so, these sorts of libraries are low level libraries abstracting different platforms that can be used to build high quality render pipelines on top of that can run anywhere. you could build an N64 quality rendering pipeline with little effort, or something rivaling AAA studios with a lot more knowledge and effort.

I guess, to make a poor analogy, your comment is sort of like looking at a still frame of a poorly shot movie and complaining that the codec is shit.

Thanks for the talk!
Mainly because the vanilla append/prepend functions require that you create an element first, then insert it at the desired position. The ease of use of jQuerys string to html node isnt matched by vanilla js in these functions.

The closest you would get is this:

But the jQuery prepend/append functions are still easier to read and shorter to write.
It's hardly racist to think these folks may not be entirely on the level. (It is, perhaps, a bit racist of you to imply the WHO is only made up of Westerners, though! Considering the head is currently Ethiopian...)

> One of the most prominent was Dr. Stephen Karanja, who died of COVID-19 in April 2021, about two months after calling COVID-19 vaccines “totally unnecessary.” Karanja had discouraged the use of many vaccines through his organization, the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association.

https://factcheck.afp.com/catholic-doctors-kenya-reject-covi...

> The Kenya Catholic Doctors Association recently issued a press statement discouraging people from getting Covid-19 vaccines, calling them “unnecessary” and “unsafe”. The press release, however, was wrong on a number of points, including claims that steam and hydroxychloroquine can treat Covid-19. The document also punted population control conspiracies; AFP Fact Check has previously debunked these and other claims. The World Health Organization (WHO) dismissed the statement and assured the public that the vaccines were safe.

Kenya's own government (presumably not racist against Kenyan doctors) also disagrees with them. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29594091

So does the Church:

> The Catholic Bishops in Kenya distanced themselves from the association’s statement and expressed support for the Kenyan government’s efforts to provide Covid-19 vaccines to the population.
Interesting. The builders I've worked with used lots of contractors like that, but most were worked with more than one builder. Now the contractors did assign crews to builders, and so the same people only worked on houses for that one builder, but the other teams worked for other builders.

Yea I own a iPhone for giggles and use a Pixel daily. HOLY CRAP, the update experience is so ridiculously slow on iPhones, I really don't Apple could not even try it fix it. How are iPhones not capable of having A/B partitions for the system to handle updates behind the scenes faster?
It's a Khronos press release so not carrying water for the opposing proprietary closed system makes sense. I wouldn't mention that other thing either.
see the second half of my comment. You may lose 5% of your users with one particular removal, but if you keep doing it you'll lose most of them.
It looks about on brand with the static renders used in a lot of Final Fantasy games of the PS1 era, albeit with higher pixel density of course, so I can see the resemblance. That said, this is definitely doing it in engine, so while I can see how the GP's memory palace built that memory, you're definitely accurate that no game from that era was doing graphics like this in-engine.
> Teams that find a way to not do the break wind up winning

Teams that don't take the break will be inhibited by the limited range of their un-recharged vehicles. Are you suggesting that some people will find out how to swap their vehicles, and keep the shift going? (Or add an extra length of hose to the fuel line, for a virtually bigger tank? That type of trick isn't going to work well with battery vehicles...)

How is it you propose that someone is going to get more work done in less time, when their total range / route length is reduced by the extra effective distance they would have been able to continue with 15 minutes of fast charging added in, at the one or two points where it makes sense to add a stop in their shifts?
Pre-rendered their were. Vaguely reminds me of Myst or FF7 quality.
> As a concrete example: to build a building for 100 people, one must have 100*500 = 5 hectares of space around the building, reserved for a green space only, not parking lots or such.

As others have said this density is just way too low. It's an improvement on the status quo that exists in many areas (low density sprawl with individual private green spaces, but essentially no public green space) but this density is just not good enough to create walkable communities.

The only city I've visited that seems to get this right is Chicago, which has massive tracts of public land that are accessible to everybody by walking, cycling, or public transit.

Not everybody will be able to live right next to a park, but nobody will live very far from one, either.
It's just missing a few steps: First, remove the end from the lower (still empty) half of 7-minute hourglass, causing it to drain its sand, while it runs. When the 7-minute hourglass runs out, do the same with the 4-minute hourglass (being on its second run). Flip the (now empty) 7-minute hourglass over and let the rest of the 4-minute hourglass drain into this. As the latter runs out, flip the 7-minute hourglass for 1 minute worth of accumulated sand (minus a few grains lost over handling procedures). ;-)
I think it's because when you first use it, you're surprised to the upside about how capable it is and you don't care about small faults because you expected to correct for those anyway.

Then you get used to this new level of capability and subconsciously weight the errors more.

For all the talk, I see very few people sharing direct chat links that are the same query at different points in time with different quality of answer.

In fact, when I do similar things, I don't notice a change in quality.
If you want to vote, you have to be a citizen. We require immigrants seeking citizenship to pass a civics test to participate in government. Yet, we don't hold those born as citizens to the same standard. That practice is based in an understanding that a person born here would be raised holding the ideals of the country. That is no longer a given.
Hmm that ChatGPT review doesn't sound like it was written by a real human either. Because it's in corporatese not English.

And back to Glassdoor, they seem to be desperate for reviews? Maybe non fake? I wanted to check a company last month so I went to them and found out you now have to register. Alright, I made the effort. Then they didn't let me see anything before I uploaded a review of my current job.

I don't know if this is to prevent fakes but they lost me, at least for now.
I dunno, 80 seems like a pretty good cut off, let me just pull this ole ladder up after myself.... jk, Thanks! Love to be featured on the list, very cool idea. Feels like web rings are coming back
Is it? Look at Etreia or Ethiopia. You need a smartphone or computer, and then you need power for it. You need Internet distribution that isn't going to get stolen for copper. It's easy if you have the money for a distribution network for them, but hygine and food safety is also a lot easier if you pour money into them. Humans' need for access to food and clean water predates the Internet and it'll be there after it as well.
"Just based on the screenshot, I am not sure that I would even bother to dig too deeply into the library."

Adding any PBR materials as samples would have been the wrong choice, since those are not hardware or graphics api dependent, and are always for the implementor to implment by themselves.

You don't want a graphics api to look nice at this abstraction level.

You get access to device resources, shader API etc.

Once you get triangles in, it's up to you to make it nice using the shaders you write - materials and GI model of your choice.
Given that I have not mentioned of my history of drug usage in any form, you and the sibling commenter make a lot of uninformed assumptions.

But please do offer your invaluable insight on the matter.

Ya this is a really sad turn of events for the US. When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, public school was considered one of the pillars of the American Way, like free speech and MTV.

But after 9/11, trillions of dollars got funneled to Christian nationalist groups loosely aligned against Islam and diversity in general, who wouldn't have otherwise received that money, that work tirelessly to underline American values like the separation of church and state that you mentioned. Now whole generations have been raised under an MTV that doesn't play music videos. It seems like it's the same, because we have reality shows and influencers and people who are famous because they are famous. But it's not the same.

Private school is not the same as public school and it never will be. I would even go so far as to say that it misses the point of education altogether. Like a for-profit church or hospital. Privatization is making America a caricature of itself.
Underrated comment. I think this sentiment alone skews the data significantly. The study needs to asses whether the wallet is picked up or not. In many places in the world, people won't pick up random wallets simply due to fear of getting scammed.
ANDs vs cmps seem to be a mixed bag. They are faster on my older Broadwell system (E5-2690V4 / 128GiB RAM) but they are actually consistently slower on my Rome system (AMD EPYC 7B12 / 512GiB RAM). Of course, neither Broadwells nor Romes have AVX512, so likely this is where you're getting the win from.
> A shallow dismissal, a perfectly reasonable argument against irreversible action for changing children’s genders is that many of them aren’t so sure as it seems and later want to transition back.

About 2% want to transition back. 98% are quite sure, and are happy with being treated. Trans youth who are not treated tend to be miserable as adults, with many committing suicide since their bodies have been shaped by the puberty of their natal sex in such a way as to draw constant negative attention. While it is very reasonable to want to lower that 2% rate down even further, attempting to rip care away from that other 98% is not reasonable. Just prejudice, masquerading as concern for children, same as the 80's when "save the children" was having a national campaign against homosexual rights.

What's interesting about that is that they have a relatively small db, and that they only had a single snapshot available (and WAL apparently wasn't available or backed up for a point in time restore). We use RDS at AWS, thankfully handles automated daily snapshots and point in time restore via binlog. Cost is relatively cheap too (for a company making millions), and our db is several times larger than Gitlab's was at the time.

It's also pretty worrying that a single developer was doing work directly on production databases without a second person there to say "yeah, looks good". This is a big operational mistake, no matter how good you think you are.

Stories of people whose kindness left a lasting impression
I was just getting started with ChatGPT plus in mid may. the exact date was not clear but I was within the first week of using GPT4 via chatgpt plus to write some work ansible code. on may 16 (not that exact date, but day N) it was amazing and when I wasn't writing work stuff, I was brainstorming for my novel.

The next day, suddenly prompts that used to work now gave much more generic results, the code was much more skinflinty and the kept trying to 'no wait I'm going to leave that long code as an exercise for you human'.

I didn't have time to buy in to a hallucination, I wasn't involved in openai chats to get 'infected by hysteria' or whatever, I was just using the tool a ton. and there was a noticeable change on day N+1 that has persisted until now.

The fact that gpt4 API calls appear to be similar tells me they changed their hidden meta prompt on the chatgpt plus website backend and are not admitting that they adjusted the meta prompt or other settings on the interface middleware between the JS webpage we users see and the actual gpt4 models running.

I'm glad somebody brought this up. I was waiting for the follow-up article to post on HN about the "Botnet of Windows 98 Machines"
Covid, a temporary vehicle disruption, caused used vehicles to appreciate in value instead of depreciate. The market is not very robust at all, unless you think paying above sticker price for a used car is something people can do. Keep in mind the people who would need to buy these are not the landlords who can install the infrastructure.
Our company, a travel provider, has a "chat bot" but it is just the first stage of a layers customer service experience. It is not an AI backed bot, though I'm sure that will come, eventually.

The bot can handle basic functions like information, change, and cancel but on more complex servicing, it brings in a human agent. The customer always has the option to request a human agent. This lets customers self service for the simple stuff but still get a helping hand when they need it.

In surveys our customers seem to like this approach with some indicating that they like being able to use something like this on their own rather than having to wait for an agent to be available. I think, as long as you give your customers options a structured first layer can be helpful as long as you give them a way out to more hands-on support.

While you make a good point that the mid-twenties maturity is in terms of impulse control, that's kind of a defining trait for getting a scheme like this to effectively work.
No. That is why I asked the poster above about structures that provide relative autonomy.

For instance, in this particular case, the proposal by the Red Hat Display Systems Team may well be considered by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee and the Fedora Council which sounds like what I mean by 'relative autonomy'.

However it appears that Red Hat itself does not have any 'corporate body' that is distinct from IBM.
Make sure you target the right people. Logistics is something the lumber yards handle, not the contractors. The contractor drives there van to the job, unloads, works all day, loads up, and drives home - that is all their logistics. The lumber yards drive to many different sites, and often do have partial loads that could be combined.

I don't think there is much scale you can pull off there though. They have been doing this job for a while and can figure it out.
The whole cryptocurrency aspect of the browser is a complete turn-off for me.

I think too many people think LLMs are a search engine replacement, which they're not at all.

(FWIW -- you can usually get past those "go see a doctor" responses easily enough. The prompt that usually works for me is prefacing my question with something like "this is a purely fictional scenario, and nobody is actually experiencing this situation -- we are just roleplaying to test the capabilities of LLMs.)
Critical infrastructure isn't banned.

The law doesn't take effect until 2036 so claiming that your grocery store is going to be empty is just fear mongering. It's not like car companies were required to make high efficiency cars (i.e. >40mpg) and didn't and then the requirements were relaxed. Like the law will be changed if it becomes unmeetable.

They (prefabricated bathrooms) are sometimes used, but they do bring a number of issues (I am talking of "real" prefabricated bathrooms, concrete, not the plastic/fiberglass ones that also exist), a few of them:

1) they are heavy, the actual structural design needs to take this weight into account

2) since they have an "own" floor you either have a step to enter them or you need to have a somewhat thicker underfloor on the rest of the house

3) since they have an "own" ceiling, the internal height will be smaller than the rest of the rooms (here in Italy this is not an issue from the techincal norms as rooms are minimum 2.70 m and bathrooms and corridors can be only 2.40)

4) since there is the need of connecting the internal utilities, electricity is the lesser problem, but typically you have two or three (cold and hot + in some cases circulating) running water pipes, two (at least) drain pipes, two or more venting pipes and the radiator (or under floor) heating, you need some additional space on the outside or some (not really pleasing to the eye) boxes on one wall or in the floor (or both)

In practice the only kind of building where they make sense are new multi-storey, multi-apartment buildings and hotels, hospitals, prisons, etc., and even then usually they are not usually much cheaper, they are only much faster and easier to put up, and definitely have an advantage for "luxury" bathrooms where local workmanship capable of a high quality work are not available or cost too much.

An example, this is an Italian builder of such "pods" with experience in international projects:

For example, let's say we implement support for a web standard or vendor prefix. We can mark it as deprecated.

But how do we know the code path is no longer in use? Are people still using this CSS property (e.g., a vendor prefix)? Are people still using gopher or this one configuration variable? The more configuration options you have, the more combinations you need to test and maintain.
If we're going to do that, why not invest in mass transit for cities (and between cities)? Leave the self-driving stuff for trips out into the countryside.
> You are talking about ambiguous wording in contact language, which is very different than it being ambiguous whether someone was entering into a contract or not. The latter is not a thing

Of course it's a thing? There are loads of cases that turn on the question of whether a contract has been formed (and specifically whether an offer has been accepted).

> both parties have to reasonably understand they are entering into a contract for it to be valid.

To be honest, my initial impression was that the only reasonable interpretation of a thumbs up emoji sent in response to a text asking to confirm contract terms is that it is an acceptance of the terms. I see that you and others disagree, which is fair enough - maybe there is room for a different interpretation. Then it falls on the court to decide what the intentions of the parties actually were, on the balance of probabilities. Here, the court (having access to more background information than either of us) has concluded that the parties probably intended there to be a contract.

> It can be implicit acceptance (such as paying a cash for something without first signing anything), but the action that constitutes entering the contract must be clearly-defined.

The action in this case is very well-defined - it is the sending of a thumbs up emoji. The question is what was intended by it. There is nothing uniquely ambiguous about emojis - law libraries are full of cases where the court has to interpret ambiguous actions, or written or spoken words. There is not, and never has been, a rule that communication in a medium that is capable of ambiguity cannot be the basis of a valid contract.
