In the 1970s many straight guys were “into” (natal) astrology, as evidenced by the classic pickup line “Hey babe, what’s your sign?” Any less scientific than “Hey babe, what’s your Meyers-Briggs type?”?

Astrology got me out of an intro to stats final. You could write a paper using stats in lieu of the final, if your grades were high enough. I got a list of DOB and declared majors for each UGs from the University, hypothesized the most likely sun sign for each major, and tested whether the number of students with the characteristic Sun sign was significantly higher. Pre-VisiCalc, IBM360 era. Huge ream of 17”x12” pin-fed green and white computer paper, sharpened pencil.

Twelve hypotheses, three significant at the .05 level. There may have been a wee bit of what the kids today call p-hacking but it would have passed the social science standards at the time.

The most significant result was 7 out of 12 International Studies majors were in the Sun sign of Libra (roughly p=1/12), and the expected correlation between diplomacy and Libra was commonly cited by their literature. That was unexpectedly strong. People have gotten funded on less.

Debian at home. Ubuntu at work(hoping to switch to Debian soon). Both of them are headless (so not as Desktop Environment but ssh to for development work).
Yes, but it would probably generate more axioms in the same format, not consequences of those axioms.

Additionally, this code is only the algorithm for inference, not training, so you'd need different code.
I've always had the suspicion this was partly the case.

If you're born in August or September when the sun is out for a long time and everyone's jovially enjoying social events during the first few months of your life, of course you'll be more outgoing and positive and active!
but the untagged union is still an aggregate at the type level right? Your data is a union at runtime, but at the type level it's a distinct thing, yeah? TS in particular is offering bespoke anonymous unions, which is a different sort of beast.
The more the nuanced the take, the less people will be drawn to it. Hence the popularity of the Bible and the Koran etc.
Sorry, don't know why I phrased it as anti-reactionary. I distinctively meant reactionary.
What kind of paper cuts?

I've always wondered why people would use 3rd party virtualization solutions instead of the native ones. Is it for better performance? Is it so that they could use the same tools as their colleagues using a different OS? Are there things which flat out don't work or are much more difficult to configure?

In my case, Hyper V and KVM always allowed me to do what I needed.
I don't think the poll supports the idea of spiritual morphing. The 30% of agnostics is not much different from the population average of 27% and less than catholics at 31%, while atheists believe in astrology less (10%) than any of the other groups.

If abandoning religious beliefs of yesteryear really just morphed them into others like astrology, those new beliefs should be much more common among people who've abandoned the old.

I think a better explanation of the data is that some people have strong opinions on spirituality, ranging from dismissing it all to holding up some particular scripture as the single source of truth, which then informs their stance on astrology, while others just go with whatever, so they're distributed across denominations at roughly the base rate and believe in astrology at roughly the base rate.
This is code written in C which does the same calculations as other versions of Llama 2, such as the PyTorch one.

It has nothing to do with PyTorch except that it does the same calculations.
>Does the Oppenheimer movie include a lot of CGI?
>No. Director Christopher Nolan told Collider that Oppenheimer has "zero" CGI shots. This includes the bomb tests, which were recreated without CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery). "I think computer graphics, they're very versatile, they can do all kinds of things, but they tend to feel a bit safe," said Nolan. "That's why they're difficult to use in horror movies. Animation tends to feel a little safe for the audience. The Trinity Test, ultimately, but also these early imaginings of Oppenheimer visualizing the Quantum Realm, they had to be threatening in some way. They had to have the bite of real-world imagery. The Trinity Test, for those who were there, was the most beautiful and terrifying thing simultaneously, and that's where we were headed with this film." Last year, Top Gun: Maverick took a similar approach and it paid off (although a limited amount of CGI was used in the Tom Cruise blockbuster).

This can't be. I had read the statement but the final shot where he and Einstein talked near the pond, where we see the visions inside Oppenheimer's mind, had to have been CGI. Also, though I am not sure how they filmed the Trinity test practically, it had to be a smaller explosion made to look bigger, so it had to have required some compositing work. The rest of the movie did not really have all that much in terms of VFX since almost every other was scene was dialogue heavy and was mostly shot inside closed spaces. The scenes where Oppenheimer was giving a speech and was experiencing visions of an explosion also could have been done 100% practically.

This is not a slight on the movie or on Nolan, cause it would have been much easier for him to do the trinity test or the scene of Oppenheimer dreaming about atoms via CG (which I recently read was done by using an aquarium and glass balls). It was just Nolan doing his best to market his movie, considering the fact the cast nor his writers were available to market the movie.

As a side note, I want to add that I felt the scene with the Trinity test was fantastic, especially the fact that the hall went dead silent for a few seconds,but the actual shot of the mushroom cloud paled in comparison to the actual footage.

https://youtu.be/hyiXpECM7eg?t=224

This I felt that whenever we saw the actors reacting to the explosion, they are being bathed by the light from the explosion, but seeing the actual explosion itself did not live
up to how Oppenheimer himself said that it looked like a thousand suns shining in the sky at once.
But with the excellent music, acting, writing, direction, shot composition etc. it is easy to forgive.
Actually Varro, more than 2000 years ago, describes a theory of infectious diseases that are caused by microbes that are invisible because they are too small ("bestiolae") and which is formulated very similarly to how we describe such diseases today.

Perhaps Varro has taken his theory from some lost work of a Greek philosopher, though it is not impossible that he has formulated the theory himself, because his work includes a few other original passages that look very modern, e.g. when he explains how any theory should be improved by new experimental results.

In any case, this is another example of the fact that in the Ancient World for many things there were multiple competing theories, one of which was actually the modern correct theory. However the correct theory typically remained only a minority view, because they could not prove experimentally which is the right theory, so they only debated which is the more plausible of them and the more convincing orator was who won, even when he supported the theory which is now known to be wrong.
> Plant based foods provide enough protein for athletes and body builders.

I'm sure that anything is possible for highly motivated individuals for whom eating enough protein is one of the main parts of their lifestyle. I just don't know how to translate it to everyday cooking for a family.

Tofu and other soy products are not easily available where I live. I'm not sure if doing extra driving or ordering online from another country would be net positive.

Nuts are protein dense only when you count them by weight (grams protein per gram) but not that great by energy (grams protein per kcal).

I could eat beans and lentils for every meal but that's from where the part about feeling terrible comes.

It sounds like a list of excuses but it is something that is actually, for me, a daily struggle and source of stress.
Hopefully this means I don't have to build emacs-nox from scratch anymore.
The Bible has over fifty books and is perhaps one of the most nuanced works of all time, hence the wide variety of Christian denominations.

I'm not familiar enough with the Qur'an to comment on it.
Totally agree, as time goes on I've started wondering if the accelerated tearing down of traditions and cultural walls from the last 100 and something years wasn't a totally good thing. Of course it lead to some great outcomes, but at the same time some holes were left open and what seems to fill them isn't up to par.

To phrase the above in a straightforward example: If astrology and other woo-woo replace religion over the next 100 years then they'll have the same growing pains that the early christian church did. Sure, now the way you live your life isn't dictated by your local priest which is great I suppose. But now you shouldn't marry the person you love because ultimately your star signs aren't compatible.

I for one welcome the arrival of our machine overlords once they develop opinions. /s

History teaches us many things, but some of them we refuse to acknowledge. People were always divided into separate countries and cultures (belonging in Maslov's hierarchy), and this will prevail. We can see it even now, when creating conglomerates like EU, there are and will be tensions inside. Religion is one of Maslov's pyramid elements. This will not be removed, since once people have all other needs fulfilled, they will need to find transcendence. Love is also one of major, and in current society where people's needs for oxitocin are muted by dopamine, this might and probably will flare up at some point of time.
I just got a Beagle-V. With luck I'll have time to put the latest Debian on it.
If you ask people "Should CSAM be caught?" they'll say "yes" because, duh.

If you ask people "Should phones scan their files for CSAM?" a good part will say "yes" because it doesn't sound like it affects anyone outside of child pornographers.

If you ask people "Should phones send your photos to GCHQ to check if they're CSAM?" most people will say "no".

If you ask people "Should phones send your photos to GCHQ to check if they're CSAM, and should we send Apple executives to prison if they don't make their phones do this?" most people will still say "no".
Part of the purpose of the document is to sabotage surreptitiously. If you always take shortcuts and something gets messed up, it's easy for people to see that you were the cause. However, if you always insist on doing things through the proper channels then it's a lot harder for people to see that you're the problem or argue against your methodology.
Author isn't wrong though.

Most accurate and practical definition of a breaking change is - change dependents can't detect and complain.

You replace O(n) algo by a O(n^2)? Breaking if someone complains. Vice versa as well.

Is fixing a bug a breaking change? Yes. Ask Microsoft about porting SimCity that relied on a bug in MS-DOS.
How is C# locked in? It's pretty well supported on linux and mac.
Near-full employment and full employment are very different, in the same way that carrying a 95% full glass of water and a 100% full glass of water are very different.

The "cushion" of unemployed people, according to economists, is very important for staving off runaway effects that drive bad macroeconomic dynamics.

In democracy, where majority decide about minorities, there is naturally place for eroding limits for individuals.

At least we can discuss about it. But ability to make diolague shrinks due to overconsumption of naratives full of fear. That bothers me quite a bit.

We pretend to solving problems by creating ridiculous ammount of regulations and laws instead of removing those non functional.
dang, too bad it's gonna be done wrong
>celestial bodies governing your life

Celestial bodies are governing your life.

>will believe anything, because trusting something with zero proof is so familiar to them

This seems utterly ridicolous and false. Especiall since many of those beliefs directly disavow each other.
It's not a conspiracy and they're probably right to be a little paranoid.

Oracle buried OpenOffice and Hudson just out of spite. Especially for Hudson I was watching it happen almost day by day when it occurred.
One way this can be mitigated is capturing and jailing the thieves. Just saying.
Amending hasn’t really cut it though, has it? I’m convinced we need a page 1 rewrite.

Assumptions don’t age well (earth is flat and the center of the universe, diseases are caused by the humors, a weapon only marginally increases the harm a human can do, etc etc). All laws (the constitution included) are created upon assumptions and they should go through a controlled burn once in a while or else we get end-of-empire wildfires.

I’m also wondering what good to see in an armed citizenry being “not shabby” - and before you say something to the effect that it “keeps our government in line” try to remember they have stratospheric death robots that think your ar-15 is just adorable.
They are all slow news days now. I have not been on Reddit for a good two weeks, I still hate it more than I miss it.
Sounds like a good avenue to research, but you probably want to generate more than 2 tokens ahead. Try 20 tokens, but I suppose you don't want N^20 executions of the LLM, but more like a representative sampling of say 200 combinations of the next 20 tokens. I don't know how you'd do that.
Absolutely not. The last album, Those Once Loyal (2005), was a masterpiece and while I respect the band for not making another album just to make another album.. I would really like another album!
The university does not need to be whole separated city nor include amusement park and catering.

It can be an institution integrated into a city.
I have not yet understood who this is for. Are there many developers who have Mac apps written in C++ that want to move their code base to Swift? If so how do they do UI? I thought you needed to at least use Objective-C to use Apple GUI frameworks.

Or is there some set of libraries in C++ that are crucial to bring into Swift?
Don't forget about people who got long-term illnesses due to the pandemic, and those family members who now have to care for them.
I only know of stable diffusion. The biggest factor, IMO is the trained checkpoints, and with Civitai website for SD, there's really an unmatched amount of checkpoints and Loras , so it's your best bet.
Let's see how market responds to it.
Just don't do it.

Have a human write actual content about things that they're familiar with. Spamming the internet with a worse version of someone else's work is not cool.
The whole point of public astrology is to make statements that are general and harmless. Genericity means people patternmatch the advice to their daily experience often enough to feel the advice was indeed meant to them.

”Your week starts you being stressed, but come Friday things will look out better. Weekend will energize you. Remember to care for yourself. Coming months will offer you a happy surprise.”

Personal astrology then has similar aspects as tarot and geneal counseling. As any roleplaying game enthusiast knows, mapping life to fixed ruleset is great fun. What makes this pathological is if people actually believe this stuff. But in the non-pathological case I suppose it works similarly as therapy for non-clinical stuff - people helped to identify their issues and are coached to work through them. People are really blind to aspects of their own life (speaking from experience) and need things pointed out to them in a safe setting.

Personally I feel it’s infuriating bs, but recognize it’s mostly harmless and may actually help some people work out some issues.
Are they going to start charging for air now?
I consider GDPR in the EU (and similar initiatives in other jurisdictions) to be an improvement of individuals' rights. I agree with the general sentiment though, very little else (if anything) has progressed.
Kavanagh is an ex cop. I think they just recognized the bill as indefensible.
> Does this mean the children is learning? Perhaps.

Kids also drink less alcohol, commit less crime, get teenage pregnant less often. So yeah, they are likely to be learning more then in 1970.
> applications being built from the ground up to dynamically allocate resources using cloud providers APIs directly

If that indeed is what cloud native means, it sounds interesting. But the problem is that all these APIs and especially "managed" services are super proprietary and you'll vendor lock yourself pretty hard. But I suppose that ship has sailed a long time ago.
That's 116$ in today's money

A pretty good side hustle!
Assuming you aren't 0 padding, there are 111 unsigned 8-bit integers beginning with 1 (1, 10-19, and 100-199), 67 beginning with 2 (2, 20-29, and 200-255); all of the other digits appear 11 times (in single-digit form and as the leading digit in the tens place for their "decade") except 0, which appears first only in 0 itself. Unsigned 32-bit integers will have 1, 2, and 3 tied for first with 4 far back in fourth place and 5-9 in even the more distant penultimate position (with 0 still being last).

If you're dealing with signed integers, you'll have an even more lopsided distribution in favor of 1 for both 8-bit and 32-bit numbers (assuming you don't count the negative sign). And of course, all of this is assuming base ten; you can make things even more uniform by using binary!
I'm running 7.0.8 both directly and via Vagrant.

It doesn't apply.
Not only that, but the time of year you're born probably also impacts how you develop socially since you might end up being a bit younger or older than your peers at school.
Socializing, learning to live with others, providing opportunities to join social and professional clubs/organizations, navigation of longer-timeline projects and assignments, etc.

You could call all of these 'education' but the usual and implicit image of education in people's minds is lectures and tutoring sessions so it's worth highlighting these other aspects. All of these are present in universities around the world in varying degrees.
Reverse osmosis systems (like the one speculated with a membrane) has operating pressures between 40 and 82 bar when using seawater. The ocean is pretty deep but having a 16 kilometer pipe straight down seems like it has its own engineering problems.
Why can't this be? Lot of FX can be done without CGI.

The director says there is no CGI, why would he lie?
In the EU, universities rarely have sports leagues you’re right in that, but all universities have various kinds of organised clubs and events all the damn time — not a week goes past without a lot of extra-curricular activities, of course voluntary.

I have no idea how they handle things in say China, but at least here it’s quite obvious that the point of university is more or less to prepare students for life in general rather than just get educated. Education is of course the grand goal and at least here in Finland universities get some significant amount of money from the government for each graduating student, but your first sentence is still dishonest argumentation at best.

Besides, the GP is talking total nonsense in general. Everyone I know outside the US looks up to your college sports scene in admiration since it looks like an awful lot of fulfilment and fun on top of studies and produces a massive amount of successful athletes in all kinds of sports. We’re envious of it, nothing more. Your country is and has been home to the most innovations and set a positive example to the rest of the world for decades and decades now, and frankly saying otherwise is just silly.
If you're asked to hate someone, or worse hate an opaque group of someones, for the grave crime of just having lots of money, you're being sold a bridge.

I'm aware of this. I'm just slightly offended by the title. None of my government's URLs end in a .gov. By not acknowledging this, the title ignores my country's existence. It's like I wrote a blog post "Government URLs that don't end in .gov.pl")
Enter the Dragon was playing a theater near me recently, and for some reason never having seen a single Bruce Lee film, I figured I'd check it out. It was awesome and I ended up down a rabbit hole of reading about Bruce's life and accomplishments. There are some really great interviews with him on YouTube too.

It's really irritating that the first thing many younger people will think about Bruce Lee is the near-libelous portrayal of him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
This is quite cool. Can it enable optimistic UI updates?
Wish granted, but I just discovered a substance people can drink that sends them into a blind rage where they shoot everyone they can see for the next five hours, because it feels very good to them. People are getting addicted to the good feeling of shooting people while on stuff. Don't you think we should ban it?
This is why I think that it is perhaps beneficial to not completely remove religion, but replace it with something that is more aligned to the 21st century. Let's be honest, humans are very flawed and prone to succumb to religious thinking; regardless of how smart/dumb you are. Superstitious thinking can arise from simple day to day observation.

So it is much better to fill in the void with something dull like "do good, because mother Gaia watches over you" than to let some random beliefs to fill it. I personally belief that the self-introspection, consciousness-obsessed cultures like Hindu and Buddhism actually have one. Consciousness is the one thing in this world that is actually mysterious. So let's start mysticism from there.
