Ah interesting, so then the coolant for the shielding is also the means to power a generator.

Forgive my ignorance; what with all the effort made to isolate the exceedingly hot plasma from connecting with any surface, what are the plans to extract the heat in order to generate power?

COVID was brutal on medical here in Canada, and seems to have been the final push to send our health care system into full collapse. The unions basically abandoned their membership, taking no meaningful action beyond some wailing to the pre

My wife works in health care in Canada, in a paramedical role. Despite working in both Union and non-Union roles, she absolutely prefers working in private clinics without Union oversight. The reason is simple: the total compensation is bet

I was in a similar situation; though I'm roughly a decade younger. I grew up in the BBS era, and experienced the internet first as gopher and ftp access (archie!) through the local schoolsnet. I bought "Using Linux" by Sams i

Support for the monarchy among all Canadians[0] isn't very different than support for the monarchy among the youngest Brits[1]. Which makes sense, to me. The Canadian experience of the world wars and subsequent decades was decidedly di

Ha, as though those testing for merit and value are themselves tested for the ability to do so. ;)

FWIW, nowadays those libraries are quite mature and free to use; with deep integration to game engines available. Ie, Steam Audio: https://valvesoftware.github.io/steam-audio/

I really don't have the time to keep up with all these different models and training methods. Is there a good site that tracks these things and provides a high-level analysis and differentiation between them?

Of course, but that doesn't mean they're unwilling to talk, and it's only when they cause violence that we should be intolerant of them.

This was different than a simple opinion about quality or service; he claimed that the company engaged in fraudulent behaviour, but did not provide sufficient evidence to support that claim.

If you're going to make strong claims about an individual or a company in printed text, then make sure you have the receipts to prove it. The only thing "special" about this is that it happened online, and not in a newspaper

I've often considered that his paradox lays in the fact that he advocates for intolerance towards those who advocate intolerance. But in practice it needn't be a paradox, in practice, would it? In the same way that we grant the st

He advocates to be intolerant of those who refuse engage in rational argument and those who opt for violence. The nuance is in the limit. If a person, in their intolerance, is resorting to violence towards those that are not doing likewise,

An organized disinformation campaign is what I would consider to be irrational argument and deserving of regulation; we already accept limits on deceptive and harmful expression by way of regulation and criminal legislation. Ie, one can&#x2

He's not advocating for a world free of intolerance; in fact, he advocates for the use of intolerance when necessary, and describes when it is necessary. Intolerance can be rational, after all; and intolerance can be moral. FWIW, I am

Popper also sets the limit fairly clearly in his description of the paradox, and it's: > But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on

Or you end up like Nintendo, who isn't going anywhere any time soon. The problem for Kodak and Dropbox is that they made easily replicated products; whereas every great video game is unique in its own right.

The first time Bitcoin was posted it received no comments and barely any votes. The second time it received mixed feedback. It took about a year for it to get a decent sized thread. The third link, I think, is worth revisiting. https:&#x2F

There's almost nothing to auto-update on my device, aside from less than a couple of IM apps and an email app. Sharing that info was the point of my reply.

The important thing is that they don't feel like tutorials.

I'm that user who made that claim. ;) Indeed, tutorials do come in a great many varieties, and when it's done well the user may not even be aware that what they're experiencing is a tutorial. That has a strong tradition in ga

As a game developer, I am aware of this. There's basically two reasons to make games: to make money, or to make art. You can try to do both at once, of course; and focusing on one doesn't necessarily detract from the other. Consid

If your feature requires a tutorial _for all users_ then it shouldn't be shipped. I'm strict on this; I return video games with unskippable tutorials. It's cause for an immediate Alt-F4 and return to store.

In fact, my Android 11 device has no browser enabled, the play store is disabled, and almost every app it came with is disabled. It functions solely for email, instant messaging, a TODO tracker, and taking photos. Edit: not sure why this wa

I miss knowing that updates even happened. I also miss important features remaining stable. Which is why, for the most part, I've stopped using web-based applications.

For those opining that training a model isn't dissimilar to how humans acquire knowledge: human artists take decades to do it; and eventually, human artists die. These aren't constraints on AI developed, controlled, and accessible
