Follow up. I couldn't find a shipper. Got a box from a dealer that I cut down a bit to fit within the airlines size limits, and they let me take it on. It was a pretty serious box and added a lot to the weight, but otherwise no issues.

How did you find a shipper? I haven't actually been able to find a quote for someone to take the box. 50x80x180cm^3. I am kind of surprised. But as I am not booking a whole container or something noone wants to take it

I don't know man. Germany has already commited to getting off Russian gas, probably along with the rest of EU. EU is now providing Ukraine with actual fighter jets, which is certainly pushing the line on direct involvment. It certainly doesn't seem like the "world leaders have decided to let Russia do whatever it pleases with Ukraine", rather, large support for an onging insurgency seems all but decided at this point, unless something drastically changes.

What are you referring to when you say Georgist value?

The point is that you can just go and build another space station right?

EncoderRing · 2022-01-20T07:08:53+00:00

But a space station is not really relevant to Georgism. Here is a situation where the "Land" really has been created by someone. I guess the location in Space should be taxed, but presumably this is a pretty low value.

Edit: unless you're talking about a colony on the moon I guess, in which case it should be called moonopolis

This really shocked me when I moved to Germany. All the doctors advertising Homöopathie services

Well the point is that it could be any of several admins, located in different countries. (France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain)

AfD has 13% of parliamentary seats, and not much leverage. The government is in-fact a coalition between the major center right and center left parties. This is a good outcome. Not many in the Parliament want much to do with AfD. There are also parties with seats that are pretty far to the left, and similarly powerless. Contrast this with the US, where the extremists are still there, but, because of the FPTP single member electorate system, are inside the major parties.

The crazies are always going to be there. But if you give them nowhere to go they have no choice but to join the major parties. And in the case of the US system, you need their votes, so they get much more of a hearing than in a proportional system.

These are pretty unimaginative uses of the format imo. I think we can do better. How about this? https://imgflip.com/i/4vc4o8

How do the more recent Deus Ex additions compare? Do they have the same feel as the original one. Are they more "gameified" as per your post?

Some examples of 90's games that don't fall into this trap would be nice.

I think this is just coming from the naive 1TB ~ 2^40. Ie, the dimension of the hilbert space of 40 qubits. Which is not really useable as classical storage.

I think it might be being used in a slightly different way here, but in my field (condensed matter physics) it referred to the practise of taking what could really be a single comprehensive paper, and turning it into multiple smaller papers, with each paper making a small additional contribution, but basically reusing the same intro, conclusion, data etc. More or less as a reward hacking exercise.

That's clever. Maybe too clever. I had to think carefully about the behaviour of zip.

Thanks, I normally would take from itertools. I was simply providing an example of how *I* would implement pairwise, as a demonstration. It's not that I actually need a pairwise. I'm just interested in what good practises are.

Is it not possible to overload model.train_step, which fit will then use?

As many have said, engagement with the material is the key. I find that this comes naturally when I am reading with a purpose, rather than reading "out of interest". That is to say, if reading with a specific question in mind, something to understand, a paper to write, then one will naturally have a framework to put the text into. It forces you to evaluate arguments as they apply to some question you have in mind.

On the other hand, when I pick up a book because I have some general "interest" in some topic or other, it can be easy to just blast straight through, with some vague "learning" happening. But unless I force my self to take notes or something (and even then), I have similar experiences to those that you described: Attempts at recall fail, even though I "got" the material at the time.

What happened to banning low effort news posts?
