Not to mention that the vote was boycotted by Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Moldova.

They were sooooo keen to return to the Russian embrace (/s).

Is it was so great, why did most of the conquered nations run west as fast as they could as soon as they could? Must have been because the USSR was so ‘progressive’.

The book, Seven Eves is about one of these hitting the moon.

Reminds me of Mathcad and Calca

The thing that this perspective doesn’t take into account is hunger. It’s all fine and well to say control your calorific intake, but willpower is a finite and limited resource and if it’s the mechanism used to manage calorific intake it will inevitably fail you. Especially when self-control relies on glucose levels in the blood and the aforementioned willpower is being used to reduce those glucose levels.

In the absence of fructose, fat consumption is controlled through the suppression of hunger by the CCK feedback loop. In the absence of fructose, carb consumption is controlled through the insulin/glucagon feedback loop.

Fructose just gets converted into fatty acids without any control loop, leaving you laden with excess fatty acids and still hungry.

Sucrose, which is sugar, is 50% fructose. So it’s not just Americans with their high fructose corn syrup who are being bombarded with calories that our hunger can’t see, it’s anyone eating foods sweetened with sugar.

I notice that the IDF doesn’t actually say that they didn’t hit the hospital, they just say that Hamas is ‘responsible’ for it. That could mean that they are saying that it’s Hamas’s fault for launching rockets from close to the hospital and making it look like a launch site. IDK, everyone lies in situations like this.

THIS! When those in power start dehumanizing others, you know there’s killing coming. Hotel Rwanda is a great history lesson on this.

It feels like a great time for everyone to take a massive chill pill.

I have to admit that while I’m old enough to remember VIM from days of yore, I never found the love that everyone had/has for it. Is it really as good as modern IDE’s?

I downloaded it to try out the AI in Bing Search, but now I only use it for Teams or other Microsoft cloud apps.

Same as for Chrome. It only gets used for Google Apps.

I gave up on the Teams app and went with using it in Edge.

lead is far far more toxic than depleted uranium

Looks like that might not be correct. https://lemmy.world/comment/3108233

Maybe if Russia stopped invading their neighbors, then other neighbors wouldn’t feel the need to join NATO as protection from Russia.

Julia looks like it is pointed towards ML programming and is fast, but I don’t see the same level of potential in a few years that Rust and Swift seem to have.

Rust seems to generating a lot more buzz and I’ve been seeing posts about Swifts ML libraries that look interesting. My crystal ball seems to be saying that Rust will follow a similar arc that Python took and gain some serious ML creds through libraries built by community/industry. I think Swift will also gain some credible ML capabilities too because it has the Apple behemoth behind it.

One of the things that I’m struggling with on Python is the very poor support for AMD GPU’s, which are in Macs. I’m sure Swift will do a better job of using the hardware capabilities better.

I’m trying to work out which one will have better for ML in a couple of years time.

Have you played with the Swift ML frameworks at all?

Agree. I’m kinda looking for marketable skills though and I feel Python may be becoming saturated.

Python actually isn’t my first language, just my current choice. I’ve programmed in Basic, Pascal, Fortran, PL-SQL, Prolog and C at various times in the past. My question was more about which is likely to scale over time to be the more popular ML language.

Python also sucks for MacOS gui apps, so I was contemplating building MacOS/iOs apps for myself as a side quest.

Sensational answer! Thank you.

I think ML is probably going to require a lot of people in the future and I’m looking to build a digital nomad skill set for the future that pays well. While I’ve done a postgrad subject on ML and have a STEM degree, but I’m inclined to use existing libraries as that’s just easier.
