And in the USA you vote with your wallet offshore bank account. You don’t have the right to complain until you’ve voted with at least 6 figures.

I cannot recommend enough just getting a big ol bag of vital wheat gluten for this reason.

I use essentially this recipe to replace everything I would normally use hamburger, sausage, etc. for. It’s so quick and easy! Simply replacing the seasonings/ketchup with various other seasonings/sauces as if they were the marinade (ie a hamburger uses paprika, beef bouillon, poultry seasoning, onion/garlic and worcestershire) allows for endless variation and different kinds of “meats”.

If making patties, meatballs, etc., let the dough rest ~15min. then get it a little damp before forming and cooking.

Adding in a bit of normal cooking flour, chickpea flour, malt, etc. allows for adjusting the texture as desired.

Very quick and easy to whip up, no more ammonia smell, perfectly marinated flavor every time, and consistent texture with absolutely no gristle.

Have you?!?! IEEE 754 defines NaN, but also both a positive and negative zero (+0, -0) in addition to infinities such that x/+0 = ∞, x/-0 = -∞ and the single edge case ±0/±0 = NaN

Jesus was sentenced to life without parole for disorderly conduct while brown.

The answer would still not be 0 as 0 is clearly still well defined within that system. NaN, undefined, etc. would be acceptable answers though. Otherwise you define:

for x > y, y - x = 0

Which defines that x = y

Resulting in the conditional x > y no longer being true

Also x/0 isn’t NaN. It’s just poorly defined and so in computing will often return “NaN” because what the answer is depends on the numbering system used and accidentally switching/conflating numbering systems is a very easy way to create a mathmatical fallacy like the one above.

You can feed an infinite amount of data into existing models and it won’t improve the issues. The problem is with the models themselves.

And the audio used to train the base model are licensed. Usually under an MIT, creative commons, etc. license.

A single voice actor couldn’t produce enough lines to fully train an AI model…

The model is trained on a massive corpus of existing data and then fine tuned to match the target voice actor. Using less than ~30s of reference audio you can get a pretty decent fine tuning the main issue is that it currently isn’t on par with the quality and consistency of an in studio voice actor, especially over long time domains.

De jure vs de facto. From the standpoint of a legal fiction you’re not wrong, however an option made under duress isn’t really an option.

Do you also argue that homelessness doesn’t exist due to squatters rights?

The core of our disagreement is this:

Plea bargains are due process.

They are not, they exist solely and explicitly to circumvent the “due process of law” particularly the 6th and 7th amendments.

prosecutors throw the kitchen sink at every case

Yes, and the fact that isn’t viewed as the blatant coercion it is, and a blatant violation of the 5th amendment, is part of the problem.

I’d love to talk to someone in the middle of the computer science and developmental psychology Venn diagram.

Not that person, but an Interesting lecture on that topic

~90% of trials don’t get due process.

That isn’t what he was convicted of. The charges brought that could’ve made this true were related to the 2023 federal indictment consisting of:

four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.

However, on November 25, 2024 Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case without prejudice.

The felonies he was convicted for were related to the March 2023 state indictment “The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump” which consisted of:

34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

At no point has he been convicted of having:

engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

He was convicted of being a fraudster, con-man, liar and sex pest but not for being an insurrectionist. This isn’t a “illegal” problem, it’s a classic case of dual tier justice and the consequences thereof. The justice system is beyond fucked, and has been for a long time. Solutions will not be coming from that line of reasoning.

And yet EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT has voted to confirm at least one of Trump’s nominees.

Drag is mostly describing a sort of American burlesque inspired thing usually with the connotation of some amount of gender fuckery.

There are drag kings, drag queens and drag everything in betweens.

The Democrats and ‘liberals’ are also extremists. The parent comment is literally about their victims.

Not police, just peace police. ACAB.

I think you underestimate how thin the skin of the professional managerial class is. It’s not about the tone of voice it’s about the directness and how that’s facilitating “conflict”.

No pediatrician is going to be giving 10 year old any sort of hormonal therapy unless things are seriously out of whack (ie something like congenital adrenal hyperplasia) however the usual standard of care for children who are experiencing any sort of gender dysphoria is to put them on puberty blockers which simply delays puberty until they are old enough to choose.

The transgender care that children receive gives them a choice in how their body develops they would not otherwise have.

My controversial opinion is that all children should be encouraged to take puberty blockers in addition to having a say in how their body develops it has additional benefits of: significant reduction in teen pregnancies, reduced sexualization of minors, reduced stress during a time when a lot is already changing, etc.

All of academia has a replication crisis at the moment however this is less theoretical than most and easily passes the sniff test.

You know how bismuth crystals have all sorts of different colors? It’s essentially growing a “bismuth crystals” on top of a cmos camera, except the “bismuth crystal” is much more random and the specific wavelength of light it lets through is dependent on some physics fuckery.

Will it ever be commercially produced? I doubt it, but hope I’m wrong:

• the lenses will not perfectly overlap each sensor resulting in many having ‘leakage’ from other frequencies resulting in a high signal to noise ratio
• there doesn’t seem to be a way to guarantee a consistent number of sensors per frequency resulting in highly variable sensitivity per frequency.
• Relying on randomness and only releasing the ones that are “good enough” is a fairly common practice but the yields are abysmal which causes the price to skyrocket.
• The use of a spectrogram is primarily as a scientific instrument, and an instrument which has wildly variable sensitivity/selectivity per sensor is a cause for concern.

I however do see potential uses for a cheap handheld machine that can do a quick and dirty material composition check. Contaminant tester (drugs, assembly lines, chemical stocks, etc.), hobbyist labs, chemical reaction monitor, etc.
