I followed this guide, after prototyping a smaller one to dial in the techniques.

honestly I think just getting stuff like corners and seam allowances dialed, frame bags (with minimal features) are super fun and easy. I order my tech fabric from seattlefabrics but ripstop by the roll is pretty popular too. it's worth getting a nylon swatch to see all the fabrics next to each other because of all the fabric stores I've been to, almost none have tech fabric.

if you don't have a machine, it's worth going to a store. I tried the thrift store and got one running but the feed dogs were broken. I've only ever had amazing experiences at sewing stores asking for help or guidance.

I’m surprised that places like Walmart or Target haven’t gotten burned by cross listings. They could drop the program and advertise as alternative to Amazon. If Amazon had “sold by Amazon” filter, it would be a lot more usable.

Isn't this still the usual critique of a language before knowing much about the language? We were used to this with Perl's "line noise". Now we get

You have the option. I have used this option because I want my code to be compact and expressive on screen. A good fit for careful, considered, creative unicode usage.

Or the ever popular (Jeez that's new):

> I hate the sigil thing

For me I have been using Raku/ Perl 6 because I loved the expressiveness of Perl's swiss army chainsaw. Raku is Perl to the power of Perl. It's cleaned up. It's expressive. Some massive piles of features have been built up from the good old Perl. It's great. The documentation is good - and does need some continuing work. (The comparison with Perl is tough. Perl documentation was/is just amazing.)

It is sort of like the lesser version of "think of the children".

Yes we need to protect children, but when that is the argument it is a huge red flag that someone is trying to force the argument by relating it to something that we all agree is terrible. that is, trying to bypass normal understanding of the problem.
I don’t know, I think the cloth thesis looks like a good read, and Hans Einstein seemed to have had a very successful career.

I may be wrong, but I can’t imagine that any ridiculously gifted parent would care the slightest if their children fit the boots they leave behind. The hopes I have for my son is that he is happy, healthy, moral and enthusiastic. If he develops an interest in physics, electronics, programming, or any other thing we can nerd out together about, that’d be great - but if he develops a deep interest in whatever, that’s cool too. It would admittedly be very difficult for me to communicate with him if he doesn’t develop enthusiasm for anything.

At the moment he is leaning towards geology, but that’s because he’s 2 and likes collecting stones.

Cancers actually drive blood vessel growth into the tumors to feed themselves. I’m sure they leverage that as part of dissemination.

Different primary tumors (eg Prostate, breast, lung) have preferred sets of metastasis sites that are not always explained by where they get stuck due to getting into the blood supply. Even getting into the blood supply requires functions of degrading extra cellular matrix, evading immune surveillance, getting out of blood vessels and “setting up camp” at the news destination, and those requirements can be cancer and/or met site preferential.

Much of the immune suppression mechanisms are actually regulated systems normal cells use to prevent runaway inflammation. Cancer finds that function and highjacks it to “hide”. Conversely (to further illustrate complexity), some cancers use aspects inflammation as ”fuel” to drive tumor growth especially early in the cancer.
I do agree- it is all truly fascinating.with that said: Fu*k cancer.

I agree with your first sentence - it’s not one or the other - because they are so intertwined that they are hard to separate.

I need to say that I have not yet experienced or seen an action which is not driven by needs (I subscribe to the NVC model of action).

We have needs which make us want things. We rationalize based on preferences which is another label for needs.

So, we act on needs, mostly subconscious, and tell ourselves stories. That’s about it.

that's the part that I love love love. society has gotten to this ridiculous follower stage that people seem to think it is a personal connection. maybe i've just spent too much time too close to the ad agency world to see how nasty they are, but anytime i see some random person on the internet that i do not personally know recommending anything, i immediately assume they are paid for that "recommendation". too much "inside baseball" to know that nothing you see in an ad is real even if you don't consciously recognize the fact what you are looking at is an ad.
In terms of raw impact, probably smartphones and social media. (No, these aren't strictly new within the last 20 years, but approximately so, and most of their impact came from their widespread adoption within the past 20 years -- roughly since Facebook and the iPhone.)

A lot of other innovations within the last 20 years are downstream of these -- e.g. no Uber without smartphones.

Whether these had a net positive impact is a totally different question. Smartphones arguably enable a totally different relationship with the physical world: effortless navigation in unfamiliar places; dynamic social interactions in the real world, etc. And while we all partake of this to a certain degree, it seems to have been offset to a large extent by the negative influence of living more online.

Beyond that it's hard to think of inventions within the last 20 years that have really changed our lives. Personally if I woke up tomorrow and was back in a world with 2003 technology, I'd probably feel minorly inconvenienced, but not fundamentally worse off. (Admittedly I'm a fairly unsocial person -- the past 20 years of tech didn't do much to change that.)
> We argue that, together with the pronounced shape anisotropy of the small fragments, the soft ferromagnetism is sufficient to explain the observed half levitation in strong vertical magnetic fields.

Which isn't surprising, because Perl was originally designed to be a replacement for shell as a scripting language. So, it borrowed lots of stuff from shell scripting, and if you've spent lots of time in bash, awk, sed, etc, then elements of Perl (and Raku) will look very familiar.
If you're interesting in this case, there are articles which are more accurate and whose authors represent the nuances much better.

Read the Supreme Court ruling (including the dissents) if you can. If not, read 'The magnet schools wars' by Sonja Starr. If that's too long for you, check out the Volokh Conspiracy's take.

Data provided by Harvard show that a black student in the fourth lowest academic decile had a higher chance of acceptance than an Asian student in the top decile.

The court found that the defendants used race as a factor in individual students' admissions admissions, and ruled this impermissible.

Based on the above, this line from OP makes no sense:

In my view, it’s simply erroneous to think that the Supreme Court struck down discrimination against Asian Americans since none was ever found.

However, one thing about the article is true: the ruling will not end discrimination against Asian Americans. Universities are already finding 'race-neutral' ways to limit the proportion of Asian Americans they admit. They are reducing their reliance on standardized tests, and they're revamping their essay questions to encourage applicants to write about how race has affected their lived experience.

Legacy preferences are an important issue, and perhaps they'll be addressed by the Supreme Court in the near future.

But it's still a win that the court clarified that discriminating against an individual based on their race is illegal.

So a completely different compound in a completely different shape.
Generative AI is not going to allow media companies to not use VFX companies. They still have to employ someone to use generative AI (and other tools, it can't do everything yet), and that person is a VFX artist. The whole "It's just a tool" thing isn't a joke or a rhetorical device, it is literally true: this software needs to be used by someone who is trained in how to use it to get good results on a commercial level, and for the products we're talking about (Marvel movies) they are also going to need to be proficient in the rest of the VFX skillset as well. Generative AI replacing VFX workers entirely is a fantasy until the point where a company can hire/rent/buy/build a whole AI system (or company of such systems) which are plug-in replacements for human workers that are working remote. In case it's unclear what that means, that is human level intelligence. It then needs to be cheaper to pay for the computation that system requires than it would be to pay a human for an equivalent amount of work. I'm not saying that will never happen, it probably will, but it is definitely not the case with current generative AI tech and it's not on a reasonable five year time horizon.

The major impact generative AI tech will have on VFX is that because VFX workers who known how to use it well will produce significantly more or significantly higher quality output than those who don't, the bar is going to be raised significantly for how much work VFX houses are expected to produce. Given that, this is a pretty normal time to try and unionise, because with anticipated productivity windfalls the working class and the owning class are going to fight over who gets how much of those productivity windfalls. It's a possibility that less VFX workers get employed overall as a result of higher productivity, but I really doubt it. We have seen this story play out in VFX for decades: as tools get better and enable higher productivity, demand rises and more people are employed (still in shitty conditions though). You can also see it in the games industry, often with the same technology: did generative technology for tree asset production cause job losses in the games industry? No, it just dramatically increased the number of games (and films) that could have large numbers of realistic modelled trees, back in 2009. Since then demand for games and films has only increased and so have job numbers in both industries.

Current generative AI tech, when applied in VFX/games asset creation and post-production is basically a better version of SpeedTree for a wider variety of assets. It is likely to have similar economic effects to what SpeedTree did, which is to say higher productivity in cases where you can use it and higher achievement peaks in the the films and games produced. It shouldn't fix poor job conditions and it shouldn't make them worse in an objective sense. What will determine job conditions is union action or lack thereof, so it's good to see VFX workers doing their best to unionise right now.

My bad, I didn't realize we were talking about misogyny%, I thought we were talking about misogyny. In that case, let me clarify something.

Misogyny, being a form of sexism, is a thought, not an action or an effect. Therefore to know if for example something someone said is misogynistic you need to understand why they said it.

This misogyny% you're speaking of is clearly not a thought (otherwise intention would matter), so it's not sexism. If sexism didn't exist there could be still be misogyny%, because it's something that happens irrespective of anyone's intentions. A woman could mishear something someone said and decide not to speak, and that would be misogyny%, I guess. The speaker was misogynistic% when he read aloud the schedule for the cafeteria because he didn't speak clearly enough. It's not clear to me whether eliminating misogyny% is even theoretically possible.

That aside, what's the alternative? Are you saying women shouldn't have stuff they say critically analyzed, let alone opposed? That they should be met with either approval or silence, because otherwise some women might prefer not to speak? Isn't that itself a misogynistic (no percent) and condescending, not to mention dangerous, idea? Think of the political idea you find most reprehensible, put it in the mouth of a female politician who sees nothing but support and take that mental image to its logical conclusion.

People say stupid shit all the time. It's not just important, but critical to challenge wrong ideas. If that means some people will speak less, and some of those people will be women, well, that's life. I guess it's unfortunate those people never learned how to deal with criticism.

I live in Japan and here the infotainment system in cars all have broadcast TV tuners and DVD players as standard equipment.

They're supposed to blank the video out when the car is moving (going audio-only), but your dealer will pretty much by default pull the one sense wire on the back of the unit that causes it to do that so you can watch TV when driving, since that's what everyone wants.

Now here comes the interesting part - despite having the sense wire pulled so that it can play video while in motion, it will still disable the settings menu when the car is moving. So there must be a second sense wire somewhere in the wiring harness that it's using for the "real" safety feature, while leaving a sacrificial sense wire for the feature everyone will disable anyway. Very bizarre.

Can anyone explain it to me?
I believe this is useful for the author. I think the technique involves a bit of cognitive dissonance and I personally try to minimize that. Stresses me out.

> … it is easy to make lists of everything one wants …

> The real question behind defining [sic?] knowing what we want is actually what we are willing to sacrifice.

“Want” gets redefined somewhere between the first and second to last paragraph. Sacrifice isn’t actually inherent to the want list.

I imagine part of power of this technique is that you’re leading yourself to believe that you don’t want the things off the list. Maybe if you’re convincing enough you actually don’t? I’d be interested in what the author would think about the things on the first list and off the final draft. Do they still want them?

I don’t know. In writing this out, it may be less dissonance and more conversion. I think I’d like to try this out. For myself, I just want to be sure I don’t act like I never wanted those things in the first place. More like saying goodbye to them.

Or maybe it’s like team tryouts? You can want 100 players on your team. But there are also the 25 players you really want, that get their name on the short list.
