My daughter loves creating things — art, books, videos etc. She's shown an interest in learning to code, but she's only six, and I don't want learning to code to be a chore. So I've built visual scripting into her favourite game!

Overcooked is a co-op series that fundamentally requires the control of multiple characters to progress. I've kept multiplayer as an option, since teamwork is an important part of the game. However, I've replaced the 2nd player with a bot that you program to assist you.

It's still experimental at this stage. However, I've experience leading EdTech engineering departments and my wife is a teacher at my daughter's school. If my daughter's peers show interest I'll go ahead and build a course around this for primary school aged children.
...and what proportion of the public school teaching population is equipped to evaluate critical thinking on such subjects? They're testing for some binary issue spotting at best.
> OSI: "data is essential for understanding and studying the system"

The full quote is:

> Instead, we concluded that while data is essential for understanding and studying the system, it’s not the “preferred form” for making modifications.

They do still require "the complete description of all data used for training" such that "a skilled person can build a substantially equivalent system", just not for the data itself to be under an open source license.

A key (hah!) property of key derivation functions is that they allow you to customize the key that you get out, mainly because you may need a specific length (e.g. 512 bits) for whatever encryption algorithm you're using. bcrypt lacks this functionality: you only ever get 192 bits of hash.
Tricky Towers is fun and while it has various silly features that adds randomness (e.g. wind), it still rewards skill enough to feel fair.

It follows the tetris logic of pieces staying in the "grid", until they touch another piece. Then they turn into "physical" 2d pieces with weight, friction etc. So it's very much like tetris in the beginning but unless you keep your tower very regular, it becomes increasingly harder to place new items. I bet it was a lot of work to tune the physics engine!
Currently, other than my day job, I am obsessed with making sense of the "shape of stories". Mapping embeddings and see how they move through a sequence.

Started of with [1] which showed that there might be some strength to the idea.

Applied it for chunking [2] and web site analysis[3] and got pretty good results.

Just started trying out experiments on video [4] and surprised that the structure seems to hold for image embeddings as well.

I have no clue if this has any value, but it is fun to go down this rabbit hole :)

The security scanners were always there for the Channel Tunnel, though the check is much less intensive than for air travel. They are looking for bombs, gas canisters, guns and maybe large knives.

London had terrorist attacks from the IRA long before 9/11, including attacks on the transport network. There were 13 in 1991, of which 4 were on trains or at stations.

The new delays are for the passport checks. What used to be ~10 seconds for each EU citizen — is the passport/ID card valid and does the face match? — is now 60+ seconds for British people entering the EU, as the official must check they haven't stayed more than 90 days in the last 180 etc.
For humans, the benefits of adequate sleep, like improved focus, emotional regulation, and overall health, tend to outweigh the potential disadvantages.

You can disagree with any of this list, of course, but that's not what the previous poster was doing: it's just a shallow dismissal, and a claim that it was written for what are essentially bad faith reasons. That's quite a different thing than "I disagree with this because X" (which is what you're doing).

5xx indicates an error in the server, 4xx indicates a client error. So it's quite common for clients to handle them differently like retrying 5xx but not 4xx.
It's also environment dependent. Put a 10x engineer in a megacorp bureaucratized setting and they'll be slowed to the same crawl as everyone else.

In many cases I've observed 10x engineers are those that can simplify and automate the processes and programs to need minimal human input.

In some cases it's more about deleting code than producing it.
CIL: C Intermediate Language
You can't, that's true, and in particular you can't get over 184 bits out of it. But that's also true of, for example, PBKDF1, which I think is the algorithm the term "KDF" was invented to describe. And bcrypt is often included in lists of KDFs, for example by OWASP and Wikipedia. Arbitrary-length digests are certainly highly desirable for a KDF, but I don't think they are uncontroversially part of the definition of the term.

I think what you're getting at is question about conversion efficiencies, from solar radiation to whatever the computing-machine needs.

Seconded. One of those books that gives you a crisp metaphor for something powerful you might not have noticed we all do, thereby letting you observe yourself do it and describe it to others. Best read tabula rasa.
"niche" and "mainstream" are moving targets, but from what I've observed, plenty of non-techie people are already on the fediverse. Even if you don't consider that mainstream, adoption is clearly moving in that direction. And even if the fediverse never becomes "mainstream" (centralization may simply always be the most popular model because of lower friction and convenience) that's still OK.

I liken the Fediverse to the old internet, where you had personal sites and blogs and forums. Many of those never had millions of views or millions of users and they did fine. The draw of the Fediverse is opting out of the commercial surveillance and exploitation driven web ecosystem and every "x for fediverse" alternative makes it look more attractive.
It's even worse than you think. The standard for "literate" is nothing I would describe that way. Take a look at the data here: https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-have-the-highest-...

A myth based on another myth... OTOH, it's definitely easier to be more productive if you cut corners (or "incur technical debt" if you want to say it in a more sophisticated way). Generally, a more productive developer will know where to focus their effort, e.g. understand the business logic so they don't spend time handling cases that won't happen in practice, know where tests are most needed and leave other areas for later, automate repetitive tasks or find tools that make a task easier, etc.

My attempt to understanding how Datadog pricing works
It wasn’t a copy of Infiniminer, despite the name that game wasn’t about infinity or really mining. It was more a team fps with blocks and a bit of digging in a small arena.

While yeah his early games are very weak seeing Infiniminer‘s engines potential as a survival game and creative game rather than a team fps deserves credit.
I too thought that immediately but I’d encourage you to read on (if you haven’t already) as the rest of the article — a list of bolded statements about good engineers with further explanation in each paragraph — is pretty solid in my opinion.
There are definitely missing codes, which is why sometimes the WebDAV status additions get used in purported RESTful APIs—which is semantically wrong, but often carries a lot of helpful meaning. For example, things like 422: Unprocessable Content or 423: Locked are really helpful to convey meaning, but not available in plain HTTP.

Many of these features exist since .NET 1.0, given its scope of languages to support, including C++.

So even those that weren't initially exposed in unsafe mode, were available at the MSIL level and could be generated via helper methods making use of "System.Reflection.Emit".

Naturally having them as C# language features is more ergonomic and safer than a misuse of MSIL opcodes.
Your comment is basically a personal attack of the character of the author. Totally unnecessary. Additionally, I completely disagree with your assessment. It's clear the author has spent a lot of time thinking about this and you framing it as "over thinking" and "not educated beyond their field" and "big ego" is downright mean spirited, wrong, and reductivism.
> You could also say: Five megameters!

Indeed.

The definition of AGI that OpenAI uses (or used) was of economic relevance. The one I use would encompass the original ChatGPT (3.5)*. I've seen threads here that (by my reading) opine that AGI is impossible because the commentor thinks humans can violate Gödel's incompleteness theorem (or equivalent) and obviously computers can't.

ASI is easier to discuss (for now), because it's always beyond the best human.

* weakly intelligent, but still an AI system, and it's much more general than anything we had before transformers were invented.
True. I think the problem might be that I don't have any possibility to differ between a "I want to" and "I can do".

Politicans talk like that they are the same. Probably since pretending there is consent tips the scale in a lot of cases.

But it makes the rest of us that donmt do full time political analysis confused.

This is generally unknown, of course. However it currently appears that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, i.e. it is expanding faster and faster.

Obviously it can't be ruled at that at some point this would stop and/or reverse. But there's no reason to think so, and if we're considering arbitrary future changes then we may as well consider that the universe might suddenly start heating up again in the future, or more mass will start appearing out of nowhere. Or god appears and hands out free decryption keys to everyone.
If it's hard (possibly transparent) plastic and smells like stale puke, that'll be acetate based plastic and there's nothing that can be done. If it's a tacky "grip texture" which has turned into a combo of contact adhesive and staining goop, it's likely to be urethane hydrolysis.

Bad news about the former is it's an autocatalyzing reaction, once it gets going there's no stopping it. The good news about the later is it's relatively easy to scrub off using >95% IPA and a kitchen sponge.
> I sincerely have no idea why people believe so strongly that a human-level AI can build a superhuman AI. ...how on earth would such an AI even know it succeeded?

This touches on one of the few good reasons to be less ardent about AI/AGI: "intelligence" is not very well-defined and we don't have very good ways of measuring it. I don't think this is a total blocker, but it might present difficulties. What if our current approach ends up creating super-autism instead of super-intelligence? There's a long history (starting with Asimov) of drilling down into how vague things get when you start trying to draw clean lines around AI and its implications and those questions are yet to be definitively answered.

However, your broader point seems to imply that you can't "bootstrap" intelligence, which I don't find convincing. Humans, after all, could barely master fire a few hundred thousand years ago, and now we have an understanding of the universe that the earliest humans were incapable of comprehending on even a basic level. It's obvious to me that simpler things are capable of building more complex things; blind evolution can do it, so there's nothing in physics preventing intelligence bootstrapping. We also have the ability to use intellectual division of labor to build tools that vastly enhance our abilities as a species. The human brain as hardware is far from some impassable apex; hardware can always be used to build better hardware, much like the earliest CPUs were themselves used to design better CPUs.

I have no idea. I understand there are some a priori reasons to believe whole grains have certain health benefits. From what I quickly found in some basic searches, some studies find an effect, some don't. Those that do are typically population studies, which are often confounded by the correlation-vs-causation issue (are people that eat more whole grain healthier, or are people who live healthier lifestyles in general more likely to also eat whole grain?). Those that don't are typically RCTs, that suffer from the short duration and are unable to capture longer term effects, which are very likely with nutrition.

Also, just as I was mentioning in other comments, I think there is a good chance this reduction of the problem to just whole grain - refined grain is unlikely to tell the full picture. I don't see a priori why eating whole wheat would be exactly as healthy/unhealthy as eating whole rice, or oats, or millet, or barley, or quinoa or any of the many other unrelated plants we call "grains". Maybe we should prefer certain grains and avoid others, regardless of the whole/refined distinction; this difference might also depend on genetic factors, with certain populations perhaps being better suited to certain grains than others. It is very much possible as well that certain grains are better eaten whole, and certain others better eaten refined, say if there are substances in certain husks that are problematic over long time or in certain quantities and so on.

And this is not even going into other factors, like rates of contamination of the grains with pesticides/fertilizers/naturally-occuring substances in certain soils; handling, washing, and preservation; cooking differences; and probably many others that I'm not even thinking of.

And while some of these effects will naturally lead to heterogenous outcomes in studies that don't control for them, this doesn't increase my confidence in those studies. The fact that there are an extreme number of possible confounding variables in everything to do with nutrition is basically why nutrition science is almost hopeless as an entire endeavour: we can only reliably find extremely strong effects ("lack of vitamin C causes scurvy"), and even then we need a bit of luck. The rest is built on a house of cards: every new medical or biological discovery tends to upend nutritional studies and what they control for.
Here’s a simpler way to put it: intelligence and social cooperation are not the same thing. Being good at math or science doesn’t mean you understand how to organize complex political groups, and never has.

People tend to think their special gift is what the world needs, and academically-minded smart people (by that I mean people that define their self-worth by intelligence level) are no different.
I saw a quote the other day - "We used to teach Latin and Greek in High School, now we teach remedial English in College." - seems pretty much on point. Massachusetts, a state renowned for it's commitment to education, is voting next month to eliminate it's High School exit exam - which if passed would leave only 7 states with any form of statewide graduation requirement. Feels pretty regressive - the soft-bigotry of low expectations coming to the forefront.
It's hydrolyzed urethane, but I wouldn't recommend including any acetone to remove it, as you'll start to melt the laptop's ABS shell. 99% IPA, a scrubbing sponge and a bit of elbow grease should do just fine.
No, because market prices don't account for environmental externalities. Attempts to make them account for environmental externalities just cause industry to move to countries where they don't, which is what already happened.
