Why would Morgan Freeman be entitled to royalties for a commercial where the voice over sounded similar to his voice... unless he actually sold the rights to represent him with a vocal likeness in the commercial (AKA he didn't do the voice over, but the commercial was able to claim the voice over was by Morgan Freemen, or that it represented Morgan Freeman's opinions... like when a book by a celebrity is actually written by someone else)

What is the compelling reason for anyone to purchase this information now? Not being cheeky, I really want to understand.
Pragmatically speaking, it doesn't really matter if one is better than the other, at least until there is a massive jump in forecast quality (e.g. advancing the Day 5 accuracy up to Day 3). In the real world, we would never take raw model guidance from _any_ source - the best forecasts invariably come from consensus systems that look across many different models. So it's good to have a diverse lineage of forecasting systems, as uncorrelated errors boost the performance of these consensus systems.

Guidelines in Describing Misinfo Spokesmen
I need some perspective, maybe advice. I'm a mild-mannered retired academic bringing up a new version of an anti-misinformation website (with lots of science on ionizing radiation and epidemiology, among others) in which the credentials of some of the main misinfo players are specified. My rationale is that you cannot fight it without naming the spokesmen, ideally to put readers on high alert. But this attitude may be naive or self-righteous.

I perceive an attack on their credentials as distinct from an ad hominem attack; their actual claims are disputed elsewhere on the site.

I have quoted remarks they have made (always with citations to origins), then followed up with an opinion [my professional career involved teaching and using quantum mechanics]

“In my search to make sense out of radiation physics and quantum mechanics I became convinced that the same thing {obfuscatory terminology} was being done by nuclear scientists to keep the rest of us in the dark.”

Injecting quantum mechanics into the issues of Rocky Flats is the action of a pompous ass who had 30 years to do his homework and did not.

So the questions I have is:
(i) is expressing an opinion too heavy handed, when the bald statements might suffice,

(ii)in fighting misinformation, where is the line between revealing embarrassing credentials and quotes from their spokespeople and maintaining professional credibility and gravitas of the website and myself?
I don't have any insight into training GPTs, so I have to ask, what was this assistant trained on? I could imagine any combination of

- Official documentation

- Official Source code

- Repositories on Github/other VCS solutions

- Blogs / Tutorials

Also, does it emphasize GDScript vs C# or is it intended to be impartial?

I have really been wanting to train one myself but haven't had the time to look into how these specific GPTs are trained

80% of my high school physics experiments disproved accepted physical laws, like the law of conservation of energy. Or they would have, if any of us had trusted my measurements.

In high school, you're not actually doing what they claim you're doing. You are performing a procedure, and then evaluating your results against the "right" answer that you and the teacher are accepting on faith. If your experiment does not match the accepted answer, then one of three things is true: (1) the physical law is actually wrong; (2) you flubbed the procedure; or (3) your measurements were accurate and the physical law is correct, but it is an incomplete description of everything that affects what you are measuring.

Cows are not spherical, they do not float in a vacuum for very long without changing in unpleasant ways, friction exists, and your ability to press the buttons on a stopwatch is not very precise.

Little-s science always involves faith, and big-s Science really does not want you to think about that. The replication crisis is real, but it's not new. (I guess that's my tl;dr of the article.)

I'm in Canada. I used the term VAERS, but I meant the Canadian equivalent reporting system. In Canada self-reporting isn't permitted - it has to go through a doctor. Then you're subject to doctor's biases as well. In my case, with first onset of chest pain a couple of days after the second dose, his bias led him to hypothesize that it could have been from a latent Covid infection (with zero covid symptoms). That theory was squashed when I caught Covid a few weeks later.
Most of the 3rd-party libraries I use, I use for their side effects.

Qt opens GUI windows and sockets and such. libusb touches USB devices. OpenCV can capture video frames from a camera and sometimes use GPU acceleration. Sqlite manipulates files on disk.

So unfortunately with wasm in a sandbox, the easiest libraries to work with are only pure functions. ffmpeg would work, but HW encoding or decoding would be difficult, and I need to either enable some file system access in the wasm runtime or feed it file chunks on demand.

Protected Virtual Machines Exposed to New 'CacheWarp' AMD CPU Attack
In a different life I did some freelancing, and worked on an app that had a really bad outage at midnight local time on a seemingly arbitrary Thursday. The first HTTP request that arrived to the company front page after midnight crashed. Every subsequent HTTP request did the same.

A friend took the call, and started tracing logs.

A strange problem came into focus - requests to the company front page were crashing in a subroutine for scheduling the weekly bulk FTP upload of materials to a paper printing shop - thousands of pamphlets and books the company would order to be printed each Thursday.

It turned out that the way the scheduling worked was: Each HTTP request to the company's website would check "is it thursday?" and "if yes, are there any files in the print shops FTP server?". If you were the unlucky browser that happened to answer yes to both, your latency to load the website was very high, as it also included the very large FTP upload.

Anyway. The routine that checked if todays date was a thursday worked by comparing the current date to a hand-written list of thursdays. The prior week had been the last thursday the hacker that wrote the FTP upload job had added to the list.
Yea, that’s a big factor in the “coolness”. But IMHO the root cause of this in/out group mentality is a feedback loop:

* android phones offer fewer meaningfully distinct features (or as another commenter said, apple catches up)

* people don’t see value in android due to lack of distinct features in flagship phones

* majority of android becomes cheaper models

* iPhone market share increases among rich and influential teens

No, it’s recognizable and sports unions often refuse to break picket lines for low wage workers:

https://amp.theguardian.com/football/blog/2023/sep/20/inter-...

What you’re doing is trying to craft a special definition of a union that excludes the most analogous unions to the one that software engineers could form and ignores the real examples of solidarity between professional class and other types of workers. See also the solidarity strikes against Tesla in Sweden. I won’t speak to your motivations in attempting to do so, but it doesn’t correspond to how labor organizing is actually practiced.

> I feel sure that I did not have ADHD symptoms during childhood.

That would be an instant disqualification of an ADHD diagnosis.

> I believe have come extreme and unusual mental stresses I have been subjected for several years

I am not a clinician nor do I know the full extent/magnitude of your stresses, but have you ever investigated (C)PTSD? If can mimic many ADHD symptoms.

> However, there's not enough literature on ADHD coming during adulthood. . . Most, like the OP, say that it would have gone undetected during childhood. Some say that ADHD can develop during adulthood too. I have also read that Adult ADHD seemingly has a different mechanism than ADHD that develops during childhood.

Based on what is commonly understood about the condition, it cannot come on in Adulthood. Similar to how there is no Adult-onset Autism. You're born with it or without it. Also, just because symptoms were not "detected in childhood" does not mean the symptoms did not exist in childhood. My symptoms were not detected in childhood, but oh boy, were the signs and symptoms there. I just grew up in the South East, US where stuff like ADHD just didn't exist, and I and plenty others were punished and ridiculed for our "daydreaming," "restlessness," "laziness," and "inappropriate behavior."

Personally, I am not sure if I buy the research on this topic though. Then again, I also think the label "ADHD" is just like "Cancer" -- a massive blanket-term for multiple similar conditions. So, who knows? It's not like there is a single biomarker that has ever been discovered that can be used to diagnosis the condition. It's all just professional opinions based on agreed upon patterns and heuristics.

Anyway, I hope you figure out something that works for you.

We maintain a fork of Godot ~3.5. We have a netcode module that we coded in c++ that does client side prediction and rollback. It uses websockets under the hood on the web client, enet on native clients.

We use Agones on Kubernetes to allocate game servers, those servers run godot itself which runs the game.

Custom coded golang matchmaker which makes the agones api call to allocate a server when needed.

We use contour & nginx to route web traffic and serve a .html file.

I would say yes. A compiler takes code and produces different code. Maybe in another language. I wouldnt call a simple anaphoric if a compiler, but I wrote this: https://git.sr.ht/~bjoli/goof-loop and it specifies a new loop construct for scheme. It takes code conforming to a grammar and produces standard scheme code while also generating loop code, temporary variables, identifiers and all that jazz. It even transforms the code using CPS. That is what you get for writing complex macros in syntax-rules I guess.

except no such neural structure has ever been found. humans have been using tools for longer than we've been human -- without solid evidence that this tool is interpreted as a social actor, based on real neuroscience, this kind of claim rooted in an evolutionary argument is psuedoscience. people have been making arguments from evolution to say all kinds of nonsense things since Darwin (like justifying racial hierachies). which neural structure is posited to cause us to humanize our tools?

if anything, the historical evidence points in the opposite direction -- that people objectify far more than they humanize, even when the cost is measured in hundreds, thousands, or millions of lives. that's merely an observation, not a hypothesis or a claim about what people will do or about what they are capable of doing. we ought to humanize more often.

Reminds me of "mainstream" medicine vs "alternative" medicine.

Mainstream medicine sometimes gets things wrong and sometimes is greedy and corrupt, but generally does try to get things right and has checks and procedures in place toward that end.

Alternative medicine almost always gets things wrong, generally doesn't even attempt to validate whether its treatments work, and is absolutely loaded with quacks and grifters.

There is a TON of this in today's discourse. "I'm dissatisfied and let down by the establishment, so I am going to run over here and embrace this vapid sensational populist garbage..."

I agree that the establishment is pretty broken in lots of ways, but to replace it you have to suggest something better. It has to be an actual improvement. Most of the "alternatives" I see put forward are substantially worse than the establishment they are seeking to replace.

The test I was given is called DIVA 2.0. It says it is based on DSM-IV criteria. I have no understanding of how DSM criteria evolved.

The DIVA 2.0 test notes, "Research has indicated that at adult age, four or more characteristics of attention problems and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity are sufficient for the diagnosis of ADHD to be made." I had seven out of seven characteristics for inattentive type ADHD.

I am sure I did not have the symptoms during childhood. I started facing these around 2011 and very distinctly in 2012, when I was 35 years of age.

I've lost many pets over the years and my father, and grandparents I was close to. I think it depends on the circumstance. Losing a pet unexpectedly is worse than losing a grandparent to old age. A pet dying of old age is a mix of grief and relief (especially if you have to make the decision). My father died suddenly of a heart attack, that was worse than losing any of my pets, but it was a more amorphous pain, spread out over time.

We're with our pets a lot more than with extended family so it makes sense that a pet dying can be more intense than losing a friend or family member who does not live with you.
