I am not a programmer (yet). A long time ago, I wanted to get into photography. I researched equipment, effects, lighting, etc. Then I happened upon a blog run by a photographer.
His advice - Are you creative enough to know the subject, what to photograph, what kind of results you want? If yes, you could always start with an iPhone and once you hit limitations, you could augment it with equipment which you build over time. He did cite some great examples of flickr photography done on iPhones and I was sold to the idea.
IMO from a layman's perspective, we should (try to) perfect our trade, tools we choose later to whatever suits our style.
I am a history enthusiast. I have a reason to believe this belief by populations in untruths is short term (I'd define it as <50 years, YMMV).
Long term chronicling goes beyond short term propoganda. Society eventually (IMO) accepts the truth. And the highly trained, poorly dressed, unsung heroes are to be credited for it. Unfortunately, society at large pays importance to the short term "stuff". Regardless, I feel these guys stand for correctness and should be recognised (preferably much before they die).
I have a feeling that most of us still believe a pretty twisted narrative where things are just black and white, which frankly, can absolutely never be the case. Humans are never completely evil or completely good, but that's the narrative I hear most of the time, not just with current events but with a lot of wars more recent than I would say 200 years... for example, today, Napoleon is not considered to have been the devil himself, though for at least 100 years after his defeat, I believe the countries he briefly overpowered thought of him as such. What do you think about that?
I got the impression that the UK WWII vets had come around on the issue already, as they faded to oblivion. "Was that other guy going to put mosques everywhere? Was he going to operate a vast white slave trade? Was he going to destroy us eternally, like this?"
We are very much past most WWII propaganda. It’s not just that words like Nip have lost their negative connotations in most peoples minds, people don’t even know what they were referring to.
Some propaganda that was around in WWII continued to be pushed, but it’s not WWII specific.
This may come as a surprise, but most professional historians don't accept the idea of there being a singular "truth" to be known. I'll link some different perspectives discussing this ([0], [1], [2]), but suffice to say that most historical work becomes dramatically less useful to society if the primary purposes of history are to satisfy our idle curiosity about the past and figure out some objective temporal ordering of events. Those fuzzy questions of narrative and "propaganda" are a huge part of why we do history, even if they cause all sorts of issues.
We still have people believing WW1 and WW2 propaganda, or have a very cliché view of the middle ages for example. With tons of fact that have been debunked over and over again being spread.
I have setup a PRI to SIP channel before using elastix (now discontinued and bought by 3CX I think).
This needs investigation, but - Over the top of my head, I think you could probably have some kind of a 4G/5G modem hooked on to an SBC (Pi, APU, etc.) and then forwarded to your SIP line which you can pick over IP (Internet), this should work.
One of the child comments mentioned DID (Direct Inward Dialling). I am no expert, but if your Australian provider supports something similar, you will get the number (friend) who is dialling in, instead of your own Australian number dialling in to your receiver phone. This is useful for caller ID, otherwise it's just like a forwarded call.
A thousand times echoing your sentiment, everyone on this thread seems dismissive, but the webpage linked carries some links which I would want to come back to later.
If the source itself is a problem, we wouldn't want to listen to anyone for some reason or another.
YouTube videos. Language may become an issue for you. If it does, please feel free to ask, I'll reply at leisure. The second video uses sprouts, but it works as well with any pre-boiled beans.
1956 (or 57) the perceptron was made. The public mood was ecstatic. Generals were dreaming of robot armies, finance world was dreaming of automation, and the whole world was dreaming.
1964 (or 66?) a bestselling book was AI Winter. It explained in everyday English how the whole thing was a farce (at that time). Funding dried up. It wasn't sexy to say AI anymore. So people started saying ML. For funding they were doing ML and not AI.
Nowadays it is a top down vs bottom up approach. One is AI and the other is ML (i don't know which, it doesn't matter)
I tried an unsuccessful rice sometime ago from here [0]
The installation page has some dependency on conky-lua package. My OS cranked up a few errors during compilation(?), hence wouldn't know. But hopefully the link answers your question.
Not my opinion - I saw a compelling video of some prof on reddit a few years ago. His argument went something like this: name the richest businessman from the time of Columbus/ Amerigo. Or a very powerful politician/ socialite? Progress is a derivative of us pursuing the unknown. That is why we do what we do.
Disclaimer: I've lost a lot of the language behind the original argument, but as a sceptic it did make a lot of sense to me at that time. And hopefully the meaning behind the original message has not been lost due to my bad phrasing.
Then again many still remember “Queen Isabella of Spain”. It’s hard to predict what will be famous and remembered centuries from now - Musk could be entirely successful at all he wants and does and be remembered no more than by those obsessed with early earth history.
I installed Debian on WSL for the very first time a few weeks back. Windows explorer gives access to the Debian folder while it is running and no access otherwise. Had me scratching my head. I don't know much about virtualisation, but if that is the key, they could probably have a highly customised, small Linux kernel running all the time perhaps.
I will have to disagree with both you and GP to a certain degree.
A developed country is not where even the poor have cars, it's where even the rich use public transport - a quote attributed to many including LKY.
Extrapolating this to the current argument (disclaimer: not read the article), if the same system is thrust onto the rich and poor alike, it should get better over a period of time, no?
My child attends a small, arguably underfunded, rural public school. It does not have enough faculty to teach Chemistry or Physics every year. Spanish is the only foreign language taught.
The student body generally excels. A graduating class of 120 students might have a dozen who score 30+ on the ACT. And, of course, there is perhaps an equal number who fail to graduate.
They all go to the same school, but I wouldn't say "the same system is thrust onto the rich and poor alike." The most important system in the education of a child is not within the walls of a school. It is within the walls of their home.
It is simply true that a certain level of affluence is necessary to provide a stable learning environment * in the home *. Affluence does not guarantee that stability, but it increases the odds so dramatically that its affect should not be ignored.
That’s a very specific view of a mostly urban environment. Forcing an encumbered, Orwellian institution on a populace against their will does not seem very developed.
(I say that as a husband to a public school teacher, son of a public school teacher, and father of children attending public school.)
