It does spell trouble, but you might be able to ask your ISP to give you a public IP in that case.

For any time t with worseness w(t) there exists some time t_0 < t where worseness was less, w(t_0) < w(t). Proof: duh.

This happened in Sweden as well, and has worked quite well for SD, sadly. The dropped youth group had some more openly radicals in it, hence dropped by SD. They started a new party (AfS, Alternativ för Sverige) with a little more radical policies. SD then could use AfS to gauge the acceptance of more radical policies without having to lose face. “Can we start saying replacement theory stuff yet? How did that work for AfS?”, “Can we go for mass deportations now? AfS has laid the ground work there already”.

It is probably in natural units where c=1. Then you see that all the time. Just do t -> ct and you are grand.

Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling

I’ve been thinking of a dreaming-like algorithm for neural networks (NN) which I have wanted to try.

When training an NN, you have a large set of inputs and corresponding desired outputs. You make random subsets of this and for each subset you adjust the NN to correspond more to the outputs. You do this over and over and eventually your NN is close to the outputs (hopefully). This training takes a long time and will only be done this initial time. (This is very a simplified picture of the training)

Now for the dreaming. When the NN is “awake” it accumulates new input/output entries. We want to adjust the NN to also incorporate these entries. But if we use only these for training we will lose some of the information the NN has learned in the initial training. We might want to train on the original data + the new data, but that is a lot, so no. Lets assume we do no longer even have the original data. We want to train on what we know and what we have accumulated during the waking time. Here comes the dreaming:

1. Get an “orthogonal” set of input/outputs of what the NN already knows (e.g. if the network outputs vectors, take some random input, save vector. Use a global optimization algorithm to find the next vector such that is orthogonal to the first. Do this until you have a spanning set).
2. Repeat point 1 until you have maybe one set per newly accumulated input/output entry, or however much appears to not move you too far from the optimization extrema your NN is in – this set should still be a lot smaller than the original training set.
3. Fine-tune train your NN on the accumulated data and this data we have generated. The generated data should act as an anchor, not allowing the NN deviate too much from the optimization extrema and the new data will also be invorporated.

I see this as a form of dreaming as we have a wake and sleep portion. During waking we accumulate new experiences. During sleeping we incorporate these experiences into what we already know by “dreaming”, that is make small training sessions on our NN.

Not sure what Disk Manager is, but if it says

USB Mass Storage device detected

It appears to be something. If you do a sudo journalctl -f before you plug it in, does it tell you what device name it is given? If it is sata-to-usb you are using it is probably /dev/sd[a-z] or so, does anyone show up when you plug it in?

I was talking to someone who were cleaning student nightclub bathrooms, and he was like “What are they doing? Why is there used tampons stuck to the celing above the toilets? Do they just fling them up there when they take it out?”

If you do, their e-mails asking you to donate again are a bit weird and manipulative. Their subject lines are like “FIRSTNAME - I’ve had enough”, “Our final email” (got several of those), “It’s non-negotiable”.

Oh, they tried to do this in sweden. They have promissed an examination of “wokeness” in higher education. They celebrated a university forbidding “any conversation a passer by could interpret as political”. They have not started it yet, and they just changed the guy that is supposed to be the anti-woke minister in this context after the summer. So we will share this journey.

I think european liberals would rather work with fascists than even collaborate with the left, let alone call themselves “left”… oh, wait, they do.

I mean… That is not really what was puzzling about mercury. Its elliptical orbit, as predicted by Newtonian physics, was shifting a little each orbit. It was not a trick of the light bending, it actually moves “wrong” according to newtonian physics.

Isn’t there hormonal treatments that puts you in menopause, and then there is a menoresume if you end the treatment?

[the right wing government] says it is implementing a “paradigm shift” in its migration policies […]

Note that at the same time, the social deomocrats are trying to embrace this paradigm shift as their doing and that what is being done now is just details on their work.

government has proposed new initiatives to deport or repatriate migrants

This also includes just a vague “bad behavior”, “vandel”. And in examples given by government representatives it could mean things like being a victim of a crime.

Wikipedia says center/center-left. But I’ve met a Volt member, and they were very neo-liberal.
