Readit NewsScientism is something that philosophers claim exists when they don't want to get in an argument with a scientist.
What I’m driving at is that science is an awesome tool, not at all at odds with religion. It’s one, very effective method, but it’s not the end all be all for truth.
The scientism I’m driving at is people putting blind faith in science as a replacement for other forms of understanding. The argument is that religious or philosophical understanding come in when science has reached its absolute limit. The two are not competitive with each other.
religious
atheist
agnostic
This idea is developed in depth by Bishop Robert Barron. Very interesting to consider.
You can force a model to generate nearly the same actual pixels with DreamBooth, which can be interesting for putting people’s faces in a picture, but otherwise I’d call it overfitting.
Sure I see a lot of hand waving here about that, but this community is notably not necessarily the most diverse (edit: by diverse I mean has notable blindspots and well-known biases).
For example a lot of people here on HN have no problem using terms like “master” and “slave” in a technological context, but other people have told me those terms make them uncomfortable. I don’t want my students to feel that way so I don’t use those words in a classroom context, even if every single person on HN is okay using them.
Maybe we can all appreciate that perhaps the people who wrote this list are in fact expressing a genuine concern about language that is held by others, even if you do not personally see the concern?
> it will sooner or later be adopted by many other places looking for a list of "safe words".
First, I appreciate the slippery slope, but at this point it’s behind a Stanford login, and is really only addressed to Stanford IT. Then again it says it’s in line with peer institutions so perhaps the slope has already slipped.
But even if more people want to do this, so what? It’s their choice. These documents are about others policing their own language, not them policing yours. Your comments about “ridiculing” and “nipping it in the bud” are closer to policing the speech of others than this list is.
It’s not a personal choice and I’m sure it will be enforced in short order.
If someone can’t distinguish in context that words mean different things, they need to change, not everyone else.
I've got my Emacs set up to display in "bold, fluo foregound and a dark background underlined by a pink line" (yes, literally that obnoxious) any character which is not part of a list of characters I consider to be acceptable. And it's configured to show any "zero width" character as if it had a width. So any "invisible character" as well as any "invisible zero width character" does appear as a black square, underlined with a pink line.
And that for any buffer/file.
I live in a small house somewhere in the woods. I have 40 acres, a house, a woodshop, a nice "man shed", and several more small buildings for animals and equipment---and I bought all that for $60,000 in the Ozarks.
The slow life doesn't need much to sustain it after you buy your place; maybe it's time to jump off the cliff.
Things I've been doing lately: enjoying our first snow last night. Doing things by a kerosene lantern (because I like lanterns). Wandering the woods...I found a "deadhead" a couple of days ago in great shape. Baking bread. Planting fig trees in my garden. Watching the sunrise. Drinking warm cups of hot cocoa. Making some holiday gifts in my woodshop, with wood harvested from my land.
I'm missing someone to share it with. Add someone to the above: that's the kind of life I dream about.
Good luck to you!
Last year I just used bubble wrap and plastic, but a lot of the smaller branches died.
Good news is that a lot of us know how good the dialogue can be. Instead of despairing, why not jump in and raise the conversation?
He says start with the highest order, which makes me think the neighborhood with order 3 would get the smaller node labels, and the neighborhoods with order 0 would get the highest.
It looks like the opposite was done.
