yeah that's why many modern FPS are considered walking simulators.

Back in the day, e.g. quake 3 arena, flying, jumping, always running was exhilarating.

Nowadays... cut scene, NPC hand holding, fake action to tutor... I get it, they lose less people from research groups, at the cost of the real gamers that know the basics.

Also the art team literally spent a month on a room that you can just jump through? What a waste, no, the player has to be stuck here for a solid minute, walking slowly, bobbing the camera side to side etc.

I'm convinced that to have games that people fly through quickly, you need either procedurally generated content or PS1 and older type graphics. With realistic graphics, it's impossible, unless it's a closed-room situation.
I'm sorry if it was too much work for you to read my full opinion.

Overall, although she mentioned things like circumstances that overlap with some of what I said, she also reinforced a lot of ageist stereotypes and then in the end tried to make the article about sexism instead. I think that combating sexism is noble also, but the article does not do a good job of supporting either cause.
It does what it says on the tin and installs the plethora of software available on homebrew with a simple command, which is pretty great
The savings are due to the production scale and expected operation time. F-35 is so cheap (amortized) because it is a) bought by everyone and their mother, b) expected to operate for many, many decades.

It's true that many struggle, and as a result most writers are not full time. But first published novels skew quite old, and as I posted elsewhere the average household income in the UK at least for full time writers is well above average, so while I don't think it's high enough to say you have to be "fairly well off", it certainly helps buy you time. Doesn't necessarily buy you success, though.
The Russian military is stuck executing a random terror campaign against the populace and defending being pushed out of Crimea, Kharkiv, and Donetsk. The reason is cost. They cannot afford an all-out offensive in bodies, bullets, mortars, or SRBMs.
I live in the Netherlands. I wish I had the right conditions to switch over from my VW Golf Diesel :-(

My home electricity costs 0.4EUR/kWh. I live in a terraced house/townhouse with no dedicated parking - this means I cannot charge my car at home/residential electricity rates eventhough I have solar panels in my roof that generates more electrcity than I use in a year. So, for my constraints, I will only consider an electric car when it becomes more economical to fill up at a public charger than a diesel car, and purchase costs come significantly down than what they are now.

I know I should not be contributing to the problem by warming up the planet. I'd instead control my urges to use the car and use public transport as much as I can, bike as much as I can(it gets me some exercise and fresh air, so why not?!). But, I'll hold on to my existing diesel car for those occasional IKEA trips, longer trips to vist the in-laws (Netherlands <-> Austria) instead of buying a new electric car which will certainly contribute to more emissions during its manufacturing.

I wish the EU countries see the elephant in the room and act sensibly by ramping up electricity generation at break-neck pace to 1. reduce the electricity prices, and 2. make people choose electric cars because it is the more convenient and economical choice than just wanting to save the planet out of good heart.
This isn’t novel. So is the Internet itself.

No it won't, as it might be using the breaking for change introduced in C# 5, or .NET Framework features not made available on .NET Core.

Not sure what the data source is for that map - but in my small part of Norfolk I know of 4 forest schools my kids could go to - plus if you click on the lower of the 2 blue dots over the map of the UK, it opens out to show you 61 schools.

Also a friend in Sheffield runs https://www.forestschools.com/ - they have a few of their own schools in the area, and then run training sessions for people that want to run their own.

Most of his training is in the UK, but it is a full time job for him and his team, so I can only assume either there are loads of forest schools opening up, or people just like doing the training and then apply the learnings to 'normal' school processes.

My kids school is a standard state school, but they all do one day a week 'forest school' from the woods that form part of the school grounds. I doubt they are on the 'forest schools' list.
That's probably a good amount of battery life that can be claimed back once this is fixed
It's absolutely not the same feature.
Last time I counted my kids, their number was definitely rational.
At my job I have to write a lot of internal documentation and teaching material for teams to learn from. Since ChatGPT I've changed my writing style slightly because it often could be perceived as written by AI. It is comical that I'm now thinking twice about using certain phrases because they might mirror ChatGPT's writing characteristics. I am now even including different paragraph lengths because everyone is familiar with the way ChatGPT divides content.

There's no science behind it but that never stopped someone from selling software to the police, high tech polygraphs are probably out there. Closest thing I've found in production is more "nervous person recognition" used at airports for triggering secondary screening:

FAST combines cutting-edge behavioral and physiological science with deception detection theory and state-of-the-art sensor technologies. [0]

I don't think her hot take is mere self-promotion, but rejection that building "good models" is necessary or helpful to average people, maybe there's some benefits but it increases the power of the state more than the individual (old debate in computing)

Any recommendation on good textbooks?
Now I'm reading Eugenia Cheng's Beyond Infinity. I'm aware this is not textbook though, more like popular math book.
In a very real sense, you only need to "steer" the inverted pendulum, too.
It's not the grammar that's giving you penalties though, it's all the chaff that comes with using AI that you don't really want.

Another issue with using AI is that you didn't write it, you're going to struggle to clarify any grandiose claims during an interview. I've come accross only a couple of these CVs before and I have to question what these candidates are expecting to happen. If you're going to write your own bullshit in you CV at least you can (try) to bullshit your way through the interview as well. If you're getting an AI to bullshit for you, you're going to be clueless in an interview.

That is a matter of debate, I don't have a good answer for you. I see the US at one extreme of saying: you are responsible for your health in all ways. In Israel it is like, we give you the option to be more healthy but we'll catch you if you fall. There are many many progressive taxation rules. Basically if you earn a lot you pay more. It is one of the most (if not the most) heavily taxed country in the world. Mostly because of arms budgets. In Israel we view the survival of every person as important because we are relatively few. I am guessing when you have 100s of millions of people this is less important for survival as a whole. Good or bad, you decide what works for you.

caveat: this is based on rund. Extract from the readme:

rund is an experimental containerd shim for running macOS containers on macOS.

rund doesn’t offer the usual level of container isolation that is achievable on other OSes due to limited macOS kernel API.

What rund provides:

Filesystem isolation via chroot(2)

Cleanup of container processes using process group

OCI Runtime Specification compatibility (to the extent it is possible on macOS)

Host-network mode only

bind mounts

I'm just saying that changing the symbols will make things worse, not better.

Virtually all the textbooks use those symbols. Do you have a viable and better alternative to suggest or are you just complaining?

We toss out anything that looks written by AI.
A simple research on Scholar with "facial recognition liars" leads to a few niche articles about the topic. So it seems that facial recognition for liars is a thing. After a quick look on the articles you can see those methods are very simple and they are not studied at the state of the arts level. It looks like much more an academic research field rather than an industrial field. So her claims are preventive alarmist.

Although, I would say she is not the most informed person in surveillance task in AI. Another surveillance field in AI is the "person re-identification" task. It aims to determine if two pictures of a person from surveillance cameras depict the same person or not. This is my field of research and you have a tons of papers each year in big AI venues and also big company in the author (alibaba, tencent, mostly big chinese tech companies, I saw one paper with Google once on a related task).

Also, I would like to highlight something. She said we need some people to annotate the datasets. For this surveillance task, actually, we have a bunch of methods that aims to less rely on human annotations : LUPerson and LUPerson-NL datasets and respective methods (CVPR 21 and 22) for example.

Finally, I would like to conclude that I mostly agree with her. A bit of nuance would be to see the interaction with the nature of data and the surveillance capabilities. AI on camera data are obviously surveillance. When it comes more blur it's what "surveillance" is for "code taken from the internet to train Github copilot method"? Or what is the surveillance capability from database of digital arts? Those questions seem to be much more relevant and hard in regard of the use of data for surveillance. AI is just a name of a method that we use to process big data at scale in this context.

It would be laughably easy for the Russian command to disprove (and thoroughly discredit) the Ukrainian reporting if these reports are false.

An associate of mine was a USAF Major who came into possession of a Soviet Belarussian MiG-21. He stashed it in a hangar in Germany and told absolutely no one outside his inner circle of war buddies about. The only person he ever showed if off to was a fairly high-up Russian who he mistakenly thought was "cool". Guess how long it was before the cockpit avionics were stolen, rendering it un-refurbishable? Sigh Never trust a Russian officer farther than you can throw them unless their name was Stanislav Petrov.
Pretty sure Ukraine had one of the better GBADs in Europe going into the war, especially as that’s not an area the West invests a great deal in.

The CNA and RUSI have both released excellent reports on the VKS challenges and performance.

SEAD/DEAD missions seem to be much harder than the US has made them look in the past (granted against much weaker GBADs than Ukraine or Russia have).

What I also like about Elixir is, that it is a sort of nice language. What I mean by that is, that it has convenient language features like tail-call optimization, immutable by default data structures, modules (seemingly proper ones, but I am still learning, so I still need to check things like "Can I limit what a module exports?"), and great pattern matching. Then of course there is the heritage from building on top of BeamVM and Erlang: Lightweight processes. I also prefer having `do` and `end` markers for things, so that one can write expressions inline, like `fn args -> foobar end`. Having such markers enables structural code editing and things like putting the point at the `do` and then by one keyboard shortcut select everything until `end`.

It's not, it's a requirement for running Linux containers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37656401

DfM is more like running the CLI locally to a remote Linux machine, and all it does is conveniently expose /Users in the same place through the VM folder share so that you have the convenient illusion that it happens locally.

If Darwin had process namespacing features it would not make it magically able to run Linux processes.

The is the "only" warranted? :-)
The notion of existence is doing a lot of the leg work. A epistemological solipsist can say things "exist" when they have a model of their subjective experience in which things can exist. It gets real funky because your interpretation of qualia results in a model that includes the brain and thus a model of how you are interpreting things as a model in your model.
That's so dumb. Dismissing applications based on the tools used rather than the content and qualifications is a missed opportunity. The goal should be to evaluate the substance and authenticity of an application, not to play "guess if it's AI-assisted or not." There's real talent out there looking for opportunities, and they might just be using AI to help navigate a convoluted application process.
And easily the best.
There are also costs to use the ecosystem of an engine, as you need training and experience. The main advantage is that an ecosystem exists that can provide advanced tooling and resource management. There are quite a few alternatives if it is just rendering and general media playback. There are some generic frameworks to develop games, but most rely on custom architectures. Adapting the read-to-use engine takes time as well.
But the universe itself might be made of mathematics, to the extent that it is made of anything at all.
Hmm, podman also creates rules in the nat table if that's what you're talking about--_if_ you tell it to publish ports.

Space-based weapons should make you uneasy about America's home-soil impunity.

This increases when rival powers gain heavy-lift capability. If you can lift a few tons into orbit, you can drop rocks on targets. Not sure if there's much a target can do about that, other than not be there when it falls.
