I wasn't really using at as evidence in a debate, but they do have time on their hands to do more than study. I thought Caltech students' love for their subjects is what makes them different, not that they were compelled to study all the time.

It's easier in space. I suspect it will happen there first and predominantly.
I agree, but I think this is a short term problem.

I think battery tech is improving, and range has been improving with each generation it seems.

I think it’s just a matter of time before EV range well exceeds range of ICE vehicles.

But that’s if EVs don’t get crippled by lack of infrastructure first.

Momentum is already starting to swing the other way, and now’s not the time for Tesla to play games with pulling out of improving charging infrastructure.
They only broke Kate on Gnome setups, where Kate tries to use the broken adwaita icon theme.

If you use KDE, your default icon theme will be KDE's breeze-icon, not Gnome's adwaita-icon-theme, and the problem won't appear.
Isn't range basically the same issue as infrastructure?

> the stack will hold all of the variables – this includes the local and the method call information

That's not quite right. Method call data is passed in the local variable fields of the method's frame, not on the stack.
> We do this by looking at the rotational spectra of molecules

That's a much deeper rabbit hole than I was expecting!

I assumed the spectrum would be something simple, like the sum of the spectrum of the molecule at any angle, with the differences at each angle caused by maybe different vibration modes from the structure viewed at that angle. But no! Rotational energy is quantized, and it comes from the absorption/emission from transitions between these quantized levels!

It appears the technical humor in your first sentence was missed by some. :)

Okay.

So the population went up by a lot because of immigration. Housing construction didn't keep up with the immigration levels, because of various structural reasons, of which there is only one and that's NIMBYs. And the speculators accrue housing assets and restrict it's supply to the market and then extract rents.

And somehow the NIMBY and speculator coalition override the actual structural change to the housing market, which was artificially low interest rates that financialized the mortgage even more than pre-2009, such that private equity and a bunch of other investment groups dump money into housing and hold it.

So the reason that you can't afford a house is illogical immigration policy, lame NIMBY policies, and wacky interest rate management. Funny, it's rather easy to fix each of these if you have the political will. Alas...

Presumably because, much like the half-dozen other flexible cross-platform frameworks Microsoft and friends have gotten one-third of the way to a viable product before abandoning to chase the next shiny thing, it's riddled with bugs, about ten years behind the documentation of a more usable framework from the 2010s, and has basically zero third party support from the likes of Infragistics and SyncFusion.

UWP left behind a shockingly large number of perfectly serviceable pieces of WPF, at a time when the emergent UI experience on Windows 8 was being written off by almost everyone, Windows Phone was DoA, and people were starting to realize they could just write web pages and run GUIs in the browser instead. It's been a long, bumpy, downhill ride ever since. The fact that Electron.NET and Blazor is a serious UI suggestion from Microsoft these days should tell you everything you need to know.

I'm sure with enough effort it's usable and maybe even nice in some ways. I did some proof-of-concept work with it two years ago and got maybe 50% of the way to where I wanted to be in 8 hours, but got stuck at styling issues for which there was limited documentation. In the end, I'm more confident these days in WPF + Avalonia if I really need cross-platform - even if there's comparable bugs and limited documentation, there's at least some momentum still behind the project. UWP, all three busted half-finished versions of WinUI, MAUI, Blazor + Webview2, Blazor + Electron.NET... even Avalonia, thanks to the weird decision to change styles to behave more like CSS... it all still struggles to be as usable as WPF.
Do you have any good resources on this?

I took a few stabs at understanding Klatt, but I feel like I had far too little DSP, math and linguistic intuitions back then to fully comprehend it, perhaps I should take another one now.

Oh it is awesome progress!
This discovery can be a significant step towards the development of universal donor blood. I have seen complications related to blood transfusion and its results. It has immense implications for blood transfusion safety and efficiency.
I am curious to see its long term in-vivo experimental results.
"Tesla miles" are also a misleading metric because they don't factor in all the times the driver has to take back control over the vehicle to ensure safe operation, it's just the sum of arbitrary stretches of self driving that don't represent true autonomous operation.

The justification I have heard is that a single rich pay-to-win student pays the way for multiple poor brilliant students.
I as Kate maintainer can not understand their position in that bug. I see that one might forget about the implications of that rename, but now it got reported and the fix would be, at least the simple one, to just keep the old icons for these names.
That would have zero bad impact on 'modern GNOME apps'.

It's a low-code solution for customer-facing analytics but is super flexible and extensible with code. Embedding is available in React or Vanilla JS (no iFrames). You can build dashboards programmatically or with the no-code editor.

The backend query engine is also pretty powerful; performant and copes well with complex customer data structures.
Yes, I would assume he blocked the door from the outside, otherwise no need to call the police.
I'm not convinced, because I think there will be a drive to distill down models and constrain them, and try to train models with access to "premade blocks" of functionality we know should help.

E.g. we know human voices can be produced well with formant synthesis because we know how the human vocal tract is shaped. So you can "give" a model a formant synth, and try to train smaller models outputting to it.

I think there's going to be a whole lot of research possibilities in placing constraints and training smaller models, and even training ensembles of models constrained in how they're interacting and their relative sizes to try to "force" extraction of functionality.

E.g. we have reasonable estimates at the lowest bitrate raw audio that produces passable voice. Now consider training two models A, B, where A => B => audio, and the "channel" between A and B is constrained to a small fraction of the bitrate that'd let A do all the work, and where the size of B is set at a level you've first struggled to get passable TTS output from.

Try to squeeze the bitrate and/or the size of B down and see if you can get something to emerge where analysing what happens in B is doable.
> the best among them can barley crack a 200 mile

How many people take 200 mile + road trips and how often? If there are enough DC fast charging infrastructure, where you can fill up say 40% of that range within a 15 minute rest stop, then that range is still not a problem. The issue currently is there isn't enough of those fast charging infrastructure.

Do you mean paying for tutoring (in which case you actually learn the material), or more devious shenanigans like faking your work, cheating or hiring lookalikes to sit for exams, bribing professors, etc.?

Interestingly enough, Stanford does seem to be changing its honor code (after more than a century?) to permit exam proctoring. Now that we are in the chatGPT era, I suspect in-person exams will become more important for grading purposes.

Yes, I just fail to see why one not went with some easy fix and then perhaps thinks about enhancing the spec. Errors can happen, I did break stuff in the past, too.
Uno is based on UWP, on Windows it uses the native UWP stack.

Possibility is that Tesla won't get billions in US tax dollars to build out their network for free (and reap all profits), i.e. Elon's M.O. for all his companies. Hence the childish decision to throw the whole thing away then.

If it is that way, there should be no theme index that states otherwise in the theme. As mentioned in the bug, that still is the case. Even if not the default on other distros, users will be able to pick it in desktop envs that honor the spec and trust that file.

We no longer do:

kcms/icons: filter out GNOME's Adwaita and High Contrast icon themes

These are no longer FDO-compatible icon themes, and are apparently no
longer intended to be used for non-GNOME apps--going against what an
FDO icon theme is supposed to be used for.

I've contacted the GNOME folks about it, and unfortunately they've made
it clear that the situation is intended; see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/2...

As such, allowing the user to select these icon themes will just give
them an opportunity to break all their non-GNOME apps. Let's filter
these themes out to prevent that possibility.

We still need to figure out a solution for when our apps are run in
distros where Adwaita is used as the default icon theme, but that's a
separate topic.

I don’t think native here refers to the control styling being similar to Win32 on Windows.
As EV sales grow the chargers not growing will lead to more and more dissatisfaction as people will be queuing for longer and longer to even start charging. In many places in California that's already the case today.

Opening the chargers up to other brands leads to an influx of more cars wanting to charge at locations that won't be growing anymore. Anyone can do the math to figure out what that'll do to the EV ecosystem.
A little tricky to read this. With the ground constantly changing underneath your feet, there's a feeling that rules and words get introduced then redefined willy nilly. The whole thing has a sense of "Numberwang" about it, which I think is part of why it comes across as satire. Another big part is no doubt how ridiculously the bootstrapping stage was written, but that seems intentional.

There's clearly something deep going on, but I will have to come back to this after an even deeper cup of coffee.
I used it on Android and it seems to be one of very few apps that can replace the default Google services text-to-speech engine.

I've had this thought before while studying biology in college while working on legacy code as an intern. There's definitely a "designed by natural selection" feel to some old legacy systems.

I found this a little confusing. The article contains several simplistic examples of garbage collection algorithms - written in Java! A tantalisingly meta concept, but snatched away half way through when the article clarifies that of course you can't write your own garbage collection in Java and plug it into the JVM. You need native code.

Another nit is that at the top of the article is a link to another article on "Understanding How to Use Cryptography in Java" which is claimed to be "a good starting point to taking on this adventure." Personally I could not see any connection between the two subjects, which made me feel that some editor type stuffed that in there in an attempt to juice their page views.

CDK just generates AWS CloudFormation files (There is CDK for TF as well as said before, but is not the AWS official implementation). It's like having a few constructs to allow you generate a YAML or JSON file.

As someone that went from a strong advocate of UWP, into a strong critic of UWP.

They really messed up WinRT.

Although not perfect at Windows 8 launch, its evolution until Project Reunion came to be had potential.

It was .NET as it should have been from day one, a proper developer friendly wrapper on top of COM, and Microsoft had finally provided something comparable to C++ Builder for the C++ crowd.

Instead they never delivered feature parity to WPF, killed .NET Native, C++/CX, the designer, and then started from scratch on Win32 side, while expecting everyone jump to put up with them, and follow for the ride.

I consider that an ultimately lack of respect for paying customers.
Personally, I think rent is far too high. We need real change. Perhaps hard-working worker co-ops could build homes designed to a consistent pattern by artists like me for us to live in. Housing is a human right, so the government should build them. It's sheer Mammon-worship if someone were to make a profit so we should ensure that doesn't happen. We could call the project El Sombrito.

Why do people always complain about the lack of mature cross platform desktop GUI development options for .Net? Most other programming languages and ecosystems don't even have viable options for desktop GUI development.

Is there actionable feedback you could provide to it?
1. Yeah.

2. Strong disagree. IMHO icons in diagramming are obsolete for most purposes (smacking of UML and over-wrought database diagrams) and are likely to lead to confusion for the majority of viewers who - at best - aren't quite sure what you exactly mean in this particular case.

3. Which is what graphviz is for. It literally draws itself. Subgraphs are the groupings.

4. I would instead suggest modifying an existing graphviz .dot file, or man dot.

You probably could by what I call the "eastern-european method." Record one wave period of each phoneme, perhaps two for plosives, downsample to 8 or 11 kHz 8 bit, and repeat that recording on-the-fly enough times to make the right sound. If you're thinking "mod file", you're on the right track.

For phonetically simple languages, such a system can easily fit on a microcontroller with kilobytes of RAM and a slow CPU. English might require a little bit more on the text-to-phoneme stage, but you can definitely go far below 1MB.
Yes, although then at that point you'd be writing your own parser and interpreter basically, which Cognition automates to some extent
