Every large company is, by nature, amoral. All the pro-social stances or whatever are generally just window dressing and PR. Individuals can be moral, but for-profit corporations past a certain size just are too abstract of an entity with too many people of competing interests to ascribe morality to. We shouldn't care about intentions, just whether they're doing something we agree with or not.

Ok, explain why this animation is not an appropriate application of this animation in a technical demonstration of this animation.

Copout.

I just quoted from the author's website to explain the articles, so you can read them here before clicking.
There are two aspects of CAD that are very technically complex: parametric modelling and constraint solving.

Parametric modelling is similar to 2D vector graphics formats in that instead of defining where vertices are placed in a coordinate space, it builds the model based on an instruction set that includes primitive shapes like circles but can also include complex curves defined using splines (NURBS)[0].

Constraint solving is a way of mathematically deriving the possible shapes an object can take based on the geometric constraints applied to it. For example, a 2D equilateral triangle could be defined by setting the length of one edge and then constraining all edges to be of equal length. The coordinates of the vertices are derived from these constraints.

SolveSpace [1] is an open source parametric modeler with a constraint-based solver that you can explore if this is something you're interested in.

Browsed through to see what the hype is. I think it needs more timestamps. "Updated at ...". Readers need to know how up to date the information is and if it's still trustworthy. I understand railway systems don't change much but it's still helpful to keep track of time and dates.
How is it unsafe? I just electroplated on my desk and hydrogen was formed (right next to pure o2) with zero danger. Sure, an accumulated mix near stoich might be an issue, but that is easy to avoid.

There's a pretty clear market failure here. For whatever reason, taxes, regulations, other, it's not profitable enough to create hotels and so the only relief valve for tourism has become Airbnb.

In the absence of any regulation that would seek to create a more even playing field between hotels and airbnb, Airbnb has a remarkable advantage, and so accordingly investors and would be hoteliers have pivoted to making Airbnbs instead, at the expense of regular people who are just looking for a place to live.

Government needs to clamp down on Airbnb and even the playing field for sure, but they should not ignore the obvious issue here that for some reason people were extremely reluctant to create hotels. There's probably some need for regulatory reform to make creating hotels a thriving viable business.
From the article:

Specifically, the person wrote that when asking Gemini, "Do women in Gaza deserve human rights?" the chatbot didn't have a response and directed the user to try Google search. But when the employee asked the same question of women in France, Gemini answered "Absolutely," followed by multiple bullet points backing up the assertion.

> CNBC replicated the search Thursday afternoon and found the same results.

I have long said that frontend development is fundamentally easier than backend development. However the whole frontend industry sort of took that and as a jungian response started building the most complicated systems possible to show text on screen so that they are also considered as "real developers." But the thing is, there is a reason why frontend developers are considered lesser compared to software engineers and that's because it is indeed easier and less complicated.

We have also done a horrible job by making people learn javascript as their first language. That has further made this problem bad because new script kiddies come in with very poor fundamentals and make the frontend even more bloated and unusable.
I think most Israelis do not believe peace is possible with the Palestinians. This is a result of the suicide bombing campaign that followed the Oslo peace process.

But I don't think your survey shows what you're saying it shows. I've no doubt that more Israeli Jews want peace than Arabs. Find me a survey that asks this question to both population, do you prefer peace or a war. I have no doubt what the answer would be. You can see this in the public discourse, the Palestinian population supports "resistance" which is war. you won't find much Israeli discourse about initiating violence against the Palestinian population pre Oct 7th. See this: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/new-poll-shows-palestinians...

Palestinians could have peace at any time. On Israeli terms. They can have their freedom, their humans rights. What they can't have is the land they demand, the right of return, and the eviction of the state of Israel.

In terms of Gaza, it's not surprising Israelis are disappointed with the progress in the war. It's been 5 months and Gaza hasn't been completely retaken and Hamas has not been defeated as a military. Again I don't think this actually supports your point of view at all or necessarily paints Israelis in a bad light. If Hamas hadn't attacked on Oct 7th we wouldn't be having this discussion. Since they have Israel is using all its might to destroy them and yes there are severe consequences to the Gazans. Israel is somewhat in the middle in terms of the usage of force in this situation vs. what most of the world considers to be normal. The Russians e.g. would undoubtedly apply a lot more force. Even most of the western world would and has.

Thanks for the opinion!

I have Starmaker on the shelf, bought lifetimes ago and... never read. Likewise I have not read Herbert not Tolkien... And now I think I'll slot the Starmaker and then perhaps Dune for the upcoming summer balcony reading period.

...Which makes me point to the core point: there are those low-level notions that are pretty much mutually exclusive. I for one learned quickly that there is no "true good", and that there is no "true evil", either.

Managing to get older my current perspective on this dichotomy is thus:

1) Perfect Good = you're with everyone and everything is perfect... But it's a static frame. Nothing can ever change - as the only change would be straying from the attained perfection!

2) Perfect Evil = and you're fully free to do whatever you want! And have the power to do so! But... you're fully and truly alone. And being the supreme evil of this multiverse you can't end yourself. As in, you can _obviously_, but then you... come back.

And thus both ends of this coin are different but equivalent. Nothing of interest at the logical conclusions.

Using external libraries is important because it lets you focus on what's important for your project. C++'s lack of a proper package manager means we're all reinventing the wheel because adding dependencies is non-trivial.

Cargo/Rust and Go show how compiled languages can have drastically superior development experiences. CMake is primitive in comparison. Its only upside is its flexibility, which I reckon isn't worth it for most cases.
No, because you could have it that the device is always identifiable, but nevertheless producing a randomly varying sequence of images.

Take printers for example, with some known to print a signature. Clearly they can still print a sheet a solid colour (or a number 0-100, or something character or whatever) at random (given some random source & control for doing so I mean) despite the device being identifiable.

> The nurses have left and you can't legally 'bill' or code the appointment without the nurses.

What? I've never heard this requirement and I cannot think of why it would be the case (I'm a PCP). The rest of your comment is pretty much the issue as PCP though. I have at least 30 minutes a day of "out of visit" requests (reviewing documents from outside hospital/consults, labs, imaging, other results, extra nurse patient triages) in addition to anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours of completing my notes each night.

> The EU told Apple that breaking the law would have dire consequences. That's the only reason Apple backed down.

You have no idea that this is what happened. You're the one spreading propaganda.

Why propagandize it at all?

EPIC hates Apple and wants to see the App store dead. Apple reasonably didn't trust EPIC not to play games with the DMA. The EU asked EPIC to give an assurance that they would play by the rules and then forced Apple to accept that assurance. Neither of them won anything. Apple is forced to let EPIC in, and EPIC is forced to accept that Apple is complying with the DMA.

That fits the facts. EPIC isn't a good guy. Apple isn't a good guy. The EU isn't a hero. Why try to paint any of them this way?
This repo still being up shows they probably didn't just auto-takedown every repo that has the word "wordle" in its name at least. Often not the case with DMCA abuse.

The fact that so many messages in this thread are variations on "well this should be covered by insurance" to other stuff like "I understand they need to charge" makes me think we will never see a proper system of any kind in this country because everyone is just too heavily propagandized into thinking healthcare just must be expensive and that any attempt to have the Government in any way pay for it will quite literally destroy the United States, which is of course failing to take into account that insured Amercans spend vast, vast amounts more than anyone else on the planet while receiving... middle-to-low quality care. And that's just what the people spend, the insurance companies when they can be arsed to actually pay what they've agreed to are also paying through the nose for every last service and minute of a doctor's time.

The only people actually winning in our health insurance system are the shareholders and the executives. Everyone else is being left worse off than they'd otherwise be.

TL;DR: The arguments against socialized healthcare make sense if you believe healthcare actually costs what American providers charge. It doesn't. They just know you have to, you know, not die and that they can charge whatever they want for that service. That's why it's fundamentally unethical for medicine to be a for-profit industry.

> Microsoft simply lacked the network effects

MS beat Apple to market by a considerable margin. Windows Mobile substantially predates the iPhone, and it was actually usable. (I had one of their flagship devices.)

But MS’s OS concept was incoherent, their UI was laggy, their web browser was unbearably slow despite arguably superior hardware, their form factor was not snazzy. And, unlike Apple, they utterly failed at marketing to consumers.

Also, Apple out their foot down against carrier nonsense, so Apple users didn’t have to deal with $14.99/mo for Verizon Location or whatever they called it. (Although, to be fair, the original iPhone didn’t have GPS. Blackberry had far superior hardware at the time and really ought to have been able to compete, but they didn’t.)

By the time the App Store showed up, it was pretty clear that Apple was beating MS.
Wild. I've never seen anything remotely close to an SLA with the healthcare professionals I've seen.
With a few honourable exceptions, the CGI effects tend to age pretty bad, ruin movies over time.

Lets say, The Last Starfighter (1984's CGI) versus: Startrek III (1984), 2010 The Year We Make Contact (1984) and so on, even Buckaroo Banzai (1984) is watchable.

With the current popcorn CGI being used today, the same thing will happen.

Cost for cloud vs on prem is very specific to design complexity. For the designs we're working with, we have seen that compute is cost effective on the cloud with respect to building out on-prem compute. We expect that to change as we support larger designs, and we have support for on-prem compute firmly on our roadmap.

A whitelist does not imply 20 years testing data. It means, allowed substances need to be explicitly authorized before introduction to the consumer market.

For food, pharmacological and cosmetic ingredients, the EFSA requires scientific evaluation concluding no harmful effects in advance. Of course, if later harmful effects are observed authorization can be withdrawn. This is in contrast to e.g. the FDA process where such substances do not have to be demonstrated safe like that beforehand, AFAIK.

I just finished benchmarking both Claude 3 models for coding. Claude 3 Opus outperforms all of OpenAI’s models, making it the best available model for pair programming with AI.

The new claude-3-opus-20240229 model got the highest score ever on this benchmark, completing 68.4% of the tasks. While Opus got the highest score, it was only a few points higher than the GPT-4 Turbo results. Given the extra costs of Opus and the slower response times, it remains to be seen which is the most practical model for daily coding use.
