Discworld would be a good example of fantasy that doesn’t follow this trope (pretty sure in that world anyone can study magic, but like everything else that doesn’t mean everyone is good at it).

So am I not supposed to watch things I like?

For the new season it took me about a year to power through it, but I doubt I’ll ever watch it again. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to watch the older seasons though.

I’m surprised it got another season. I’m not sure if there was any episode I’d call good (or even decent) from season 11. While I’ve watched the series multiple times, I don’t see myself watching this next season.

That’s a weak defense of the season. The thing that made a lot of the classic episodes classics is that they are more or less timeless. If releasing the episode a year or two later means it’s not going to land well, then they should be rethinking the writing.

A great example is the iPhone episode. Its a bad episode because the premise was hardly interesting even when it was relevant, and it hasn’t aged well at all.

Yeah I also feel like the original one does a better job getting the same general point across

While he doesn’t get a lot of attention, PlasticMan is considered to be pretty dangerous in DC comics. He has a pretty cool run in the Injustice Comics (released alongside the games) .

App stores and game engines are examples where you are paying a percentage of revenue. Not that it makes this scenario make any more sense, but there are models out there that operate this way. However, in both you are working in pretty locked down environments.

The thing that’s always so misleading about these numbers is that everything costs more in the US to begin with. A lot of that expense is just for US labor, which costs more per person than at least most countries. The graph is a lot more reasonable when you do [% of gdp] (https://www.statista.com/statistics/266892/military-expenditure-as-percentage-of-gdp-in-highest-spending-countries/)

Not exactly the same thing, but Jon Deere does put modems on all of their tractors so farmers can track where they planted what and where they applied what herbicides/fungicides/etc. It’s largely driven by having data driven agronomy and farming, but the general idea could easily apply to logistical applications.

The real problem is why did no one know that it was being done.

Born in the USA

I didn’t see this mentioned so wanted to add it. Most people think of it as pro USA, but the lyrics paint a very different message.

For example:

Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man

Yeah, I made a similar comment above. It starts slow, but hits a really good stride after a while. However, it felt like it ran it’s course years ago (felt like they kept making up more drama to keep things going) and it’s still going.

But we don’t all feel the same

To add to this, the way the AI is trained is that you pass in images with descriptions (for the most part). Since most descriptions focus on the main concepts, it generally won’t have the actual text included in the descriptions. Without the being included in the descriptions, the AI will have a hard time learning the meaning of the squiggles in the images. In addition those squiggles can represent a lot of different things, so even if it grows to “understand” letters, it’s really hard to “understand” their meaning; thus leading to a lot of weird words/text.

I wouldn’t focus on foundational papers, the current phase of deep learning is far enough along that there are better tutorials/resources that better distill how these models work.

I would actually recommend you look into books on deep learning or something like a udemy course (Harvard or Stanford may also have free courses online, but I’ve never been a fan of their pacing) . I can send you some recommendations if you want, but that’s probably the best/fastest way.

There are sites like this (https://www.whatismyip.net/tools/torrent-ip-checker/index.php?hash=1b0ed881214381f342f844fd640a3f495c6be898) that let you download a torrent. When you run the torrent in the client the site tells you the IP of your torrent client. Based on that info you can tell if it’s running through the VPN or not.

Is there a reason why we make this distinction for Gaza? Not every country gives its people the ability to elect its leadership, and my understanding is that the ruling party in Gaza is Hamas.

Why is this conflict not portrayed as state on state violence when it’s two state actors?

There is an article. It talks about how they were driving in the rain in Scotland and apparently the damage caused by the rain wasn’t covered under the warranty.
