actually... after arabs rejected partition plan and Israel fought it independence war, Egypt took over Gaza strip and Jordan over entire west bank. Instead of establishing there Palestinian state Jordan annexed west bank at 1950 and Egypt fenced off gaza strip with all palestinians. For next 20 years it was the state of affairs till Israel took over the territories in 1967.
So maybe it's Egypt fault ?

When peace agreement with Egypt was signed, it refused to take back Gaza.

So maybe it's Egypt Fault ?

And extra fun fact: there is UN report dated 1982 or something which described effects of Israeli occupation. The outcome was modern infrastructure, literacy rate jumping up by tens of percent, infant deaths falling down and life expectancy going up by 10 or 15 years.

If this is " poster child of how to create an adversarial environment that breeds terrorism.", well...
This particular one? It is the first time I made it.

Statistical arguments in general? I get a pretty good response. But there is a selection bias. I rarely bother interacting again with anyone who can't be convinced by data when they encounter it. (And conversely, I try to be convinced by data when I encounter it.)
> The problem, column is counted using UTF-16 code units.

Rather than fixing the problem by using code points, they made it worse by allowing any encoding. Now, not only do you need to support UTF-16, but also UTF-8 and UTF-32 [1].

Phased arrays work without having to repoint, but they don't overcome lack of incidence (insolation?)

(e.g. we can't build a solar panel that works perpendicular to the sun (or nearly perpendicular) using phased array technology because there just isn't much solar radiation hitting the "dish" in the first place)
That makes sense. So the ITU has more of a role of coordination than of actual assignment, I suppose?

Practically, satellites won't switch frequencies every time their spot beam footprints cross national boundaries, so I suppose it's more of a matter of allowing/not allowing service in a given country (as determined by either the mobile or the satellite?).
It's unlikely they can make a profit doing that. Servers, devs, etc cost money. This way they keep the audience smaller and can make money as well. It's a business, so you do what you gotta do.
So you want to ban AI for 30 years, that's just completely impractical. It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can.

We allow all sorts of food additives that are only now being banned because they turned out to be bad. I'm not saying we should allow them, but in general we do.

All of your complaints may be valid but you are living in some sort of fantasy land if you think that is going to happen. That's just not the way the world works.
To join the other commenters, in Nim you use backticks to allow using Nim keywords - this is important for e.g. nice deserialization where some JSON object has a field like `type` which is a keyword in Nim.

In my experience, unlike an SVG path that has a single line thickness and opacity value, a vector stroke in Clip Studio Paint has thickness and opacity data per point. In addition, these points can have image textures, just like the raster brushes. These features make the vector path better depict a hand-drawn stroke. A Clip Studio user can easily switch between vector and raster mode with the same brush, but Krita cannot achieve this.

The Blender Grease Pencil also represents vector data in this way (per-point attributes). I find it promising and try to develop add-ons for it. But I am not familiar with Krita plug-in development and do not know how much its vector painting can be improved.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was recorded despite the limitation of 4-track recorders, most certainly not because of it!

They used as many as three individual Studer J37 4-track recorders with 1" tape, bouncing tracks across machines, and preserving the original generation tapes so they could bounce down again without cumulative noise. And, for "A Day in the Life", they synchronized two 4-track machines together with a 50Hz control signal so they could record all of the orchestral parts.

But sure, for bedroom musicians who aren't The Beatles, forced limitations can be freeing!
Not to be on dangling modifier patrol, but I’d be quite amused if Columbus thought discoveries from America were worth $1.5M dollars (in a currency that hadn’t even come around yet)
Perhaps it's downvoted because its facile and ill considered. Its locked into a tiny figure because the parent poster threw it out but in actuality vet emergencies are now mostly $1000-$2500 which exceeds what 57% of households can afford and pets can live 20 years.

Ordinary responsible people are going to find themselves deciding what care they can provide for their pet both because of financial challenges personal and societal that weren't evident when they got the pet and because its getting expensive as fuck.

Visual Studio Code is split into two parts. The remote part handles file sync and terminal management. The frontend lets you edit files in a local buffer. When you save, the file contents are sent to the backend. This has been working pretty well for me.
Apropos of nothing else, it sure has been…interesting to witness nearly all of the big name right wing (and many of the larger fringe right wing) accounts on X immediately abandon the America First rhetoric and time travel back to the year 2015.
And it unsurprisingly destroyed its UX and turned into something practically useless.

I agree that it's bad. I'm just saying that there is no way to stop it without some sort of massive government intervention, and even then it's going to happen anyway.

And you can say the government SHOULD do that, but the government is so split that it never gets anything done.

AI is coming, and I'm sure it's going to continually erode what's left of what we call a society.

I’m fighting with it right now. LSP specifies several configuration mechanisms but there isn’t a “blessed” one. This is a pain point because:

I want to write Python.

There’s one FOSS language server (pylsp) that’s a better fit for my needs than the other Python servers.

I want to use a certain commercial editor.

The editor and the language server don’t share a common configuration method.

Ergo, I can’t use the editor I’d like to write Python the way I want. It’s no one’s fault. The editor works just fine with other servers, for Python and for lots of other languages. The server is also operating within spec, and plenty of editors support its configuration method. However, they don’t play well with each other. I can still use the editor with that server as long as I’m ok with the default settings, but I’m not.

It would’ve been spiffy to have a preferred baseline method that all editors and language servers spoke, but they went the enterprisey “here are a hundred options - pick a few!” overly configurable direction.

Bummer. I really, really like that editor.
Any links or colab for beginners to learn how to fine tune this model?
One thing that has annoyed me with some personal implementation work is why does DAP use a cosmetically similar but not following spec version of JSONRPC? Why not just use JSONRPC especially considering LSP already does?
I feel like the RPC protocol (minus a good text representation) that LSP needs is ONC RPC. It's ancient, to be sure, but it is stupid simple to implement either with a ton of boilerplate or with a compiler to generate the structs and serializers/deserializers for you.
One month was the worst point. It gets better from there until it's unnoticeable unless in a silent room. You will be surprised how the brain is able to both cancel out and then rebalance the sound input to normal (should your tinnitus be one-sided). Same goes for "cracks" that you might hear if the sounds are too loud -- they also go away in time.

I might as well note that anecdotally, barotrauma makes the tinnitus better temporarily. Maybe there is an explanation -- traumatic tinnitus can be at least alleviated by going into an overpressurization chamber immediately after the traumatic event. It seems like even after the fact, a pressure difference has temporary effect. For example, my tinnitus feels better after ascend on flights, even though in this case it's underpressure.

That’s amazing, can’t wait to see new therapeutics developed off this finding.
Because of organizational disorganization within the VS Code development teams. LSP and DAP are basically the VSCode APIs for implementing language support and debuggers but bolted onto an RPC layer without synchronization or consistency between the people/teams that develop them.
Zero. A referral bonus is essentially a bonus on being social and I don't fit that category. My few friends have all been employed quite happily, so there's nothing I can do.
I would assume DAP predates (and possibly motivated) JSONRPC (edit: so it might have been working off of a draft spec). Hopefully someone knowledgeable can comment.
The JavaScript VM, Java VM, .NET VM, and several other runtimes (including effectively the entire Windows API) have their fundamental definition of strings be based on UTF-16 baked in.

I believe the original producers and consumers of LSP were written in languages that had string lengths based on UTF-16, so it was the literal easiest way to do it, even though UTF-16 is probably objectively the most painful thing to compute if your string system isn't UTF-16.

LSP eventually got a solution where you can request something other than UTF-16 offset calculations, but I don't remember the details of what that solution is.
> "a ton of tax at the relatively high income tax rates there"

Firstly, that's not Apple paying income tax, that's their employees.

Secondly, they don't pay much in the way of corporation or other taxes that usually apply because of a sweetheart deal (Google also has one IIRC), which is why much of the EU is up in arms about the Irish government's behaviour here, that effectively allows these multinationals to operate across the EU without paying the usual expected taxes, giving them an advantage over local businesses and depriving governments of income, and there have been various court cases about it.

It's crazy how fast they go down hill. Go from like just fine to holocaust skinny in 2 months. Brutal to watch, especially hard when the kittens die or dissappear. I had 2 tabbies that were born this year. One had a white tipped tail and the other a black tipped. I loved them both but loved black tipped the most.

She would sit in my arms and purr just staring in my eyes. So cute. Then one day it got run over. Not much you can do really.

In a very weird and minor way it gave me insight into why losing a child during pregnancy or very young is so painful. I always thought "What's the big deal? You just have another one".

I mean I wouldn't say that to people but that's just how it seemed to me. But then with the cats some had great personalities or super soft coats and I was so looking forward to petting them and playing with them when they got older. Then they died and there is a bit of a hole.

Obviously this is nothing compared to a human life, but it made more sense now. You have a child and you think about their first day of school, how you will dress them, what their interests are, what special skills they have.

It gave me a lot more insight into what it's like to be a parent and lose a child and how devastating that probably is.
A BART seat-slashing gang that was part of an upholstery racket (2019)
(I hadn't heard about the letter in question, and, FWIW, I'm sympathetic to what I understand of multiple groups in recent tragedies. Am commenting on a separate topic.)

Before globally-accessible campus newspaper Web editions, and especially before Twitter mobs, I had the impression that universities were a relatively safe space for dialogue, including on controversial topics with impassioned viewpoints.

Are students and society being shortchanged, when students are afraid to say or ask something "stupid" and be corrected or informed, are afraid to discuss certain topics or accidentally say the wrong thing (because they'll be doxxed publicly, or shunned by fellow students), won't listen to and try to understand the perspective of a (good faith) speaker with whom they assume they'll disagree, etc.?

Especially in the case of high-prestige schools like Harvard, these students will disproportionately be going into positions of influence over the world. We need them to be learned and thoughtful, to be comfortable with and promote honest dialogue, to understand and have challenged their biases and assumptions, to be humble but to aspire, to be genuine.

I hope that at least individual professors are declaring their classrooms a safe space for good faith dialogue. Student groups and others of the university should also consider when they want to be public-facing, and when they want to be supporting a more nurturing environment -- to help students learn and grow, so that the later graduates will be better able to help tackle the problems of the real world.
The UX challenges are real, no doubt about that. That's actually one of the main reasons I started down the OIDC rabbit hole.

Note that the tilt only has one level (flat and tilted), the animation might make you think otherwise. I use it in tilted mode.

It is highly customizable using the Logitech options software which I am using on both macOS and Windows. For example you can assign actions to all the buttons that are dependent on the running program, and even involve custom key combinations.

The only downside of the trackball is that you have to clean it once in a while, when the pointer appears to be moving very slowly - simply eject the ball by poking a screwdriver into the hole at the bottom of the mouse, clean out the accumulated dust and push the ball back.

Maybe Authentik can do what you need? It supports all the various protocols as provider and consumer.
Thanks for contributing this comment. It's what finally made it click for me, and how logarithms might come into the picture. Especially the difference between video and still photography was helpful to me as a still photographer!

So basically, when you can't afford the space/bandwidth requirements of "raw" data for video, you need to convert the sensor readings to an actual video format right away (the equivalent of "shooting jpeg" on a still camera.)

If you do that conversion using a monotonic concave function (e.g. log) you do get an actual video, but it looks crappy because the tones are not what we would expect. However, it also retains more of the low-end distinctions of the raw data so it's more flexible in processing.

Hypothetically, I could do the same with still photography, by taking the raw data and converting it to a crappy-looking jpeg and distribute that to someone else, who would then have more freedom in processing than with a regular jpeg, but less than the raw data. I think I got it!

1. If the time zone changes (like, as it's happened multiple times in my country, the date for switching to daylight savings changes) you have to make sure all your servers is updated with the change

2. Daylight savings mean that events an hour apart can end up having the same timestamp.

> So my point: if we're describing something as 'artificial' intelligence, we should expect it to be a fake substitute for real intelligence, that has been manufactured to serve that purpose.

And my point is that I don't think most people are reading it that way. We're in a hype cycle where people are treating it like true general AI, like you'd see in sci-fi, instead of what it is: fake/simulated intelligence.

I think you're putting too much weight on the components of a term, instead of seeing the term as a whole.

Within a few minutes of badstuff.exe being flagged I can have a graph of everything it's ever touched, how it got there, say with certainty if consumer data was impacted, and know everything that was exfiltrated.

I can certainly see the value in that.

But does that work when the threat is actually "new"? Say, some badstuff.exe managed to run and do its thing without being flagged by the EDR. Somehow you found out about it, say on another box. Can you investigate a posteriori how it got on the initial box and what it did there?

I live in one of the colourful houses in Clifton wood. We have a local WhatsApp group and one of the residents posted this a few months back:
“A couple of people claim they were the first to paint Cliftonwood houses a bright colour in the 70’s, one being our ex-mayor George Ferguson. But the wonderful late Joan from Cliftonwood Cres told me that was ‘codswallop’. Also when we moved in here fifteen years ago, we were told there were five colours allowed for the houses and that was that .” Others then disputed it and said there was never a 5 colour rule and quoted Annie Scott (who was an architect) started the trend.

I’ve also heard it said that this area was popular popular with artists and the rebellious types back in the day vs the more posh types in Clifton on top of the hill. There are some photos of the harbour from back when it was a working harbour, before the houses were painted, and it looks far less appealing (https://www.instagram.com/p/CyMNzAXIOY-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFl...). If you do end up on Instagram search for Bristol harbour to see what it’s like now.
