My home is mostly using smart switch or relays for lights, but we now have a specific need for some RGB light bulbs. Has anyone got any recommendations for good colour smart bulbs readily available in the UK?...
I installed 14 Philips Hue White & Color LEDs in 2016 and so far not a single one of them broke. They were quite expensive back then (around 40€ per bulb) but I'm still quite happy with the overall quality. Not sure if they are still as durable but nowadays they are way cheaper, so maybe that's an option for you as well.
There's a documentary that's more than a decade old that now only exists on Amazon Prime. I have searched everywhere for this but the website (and thus DVDs being sold) doesn't exist any more, there are no torrents, no second hand DVDs for sale that I can find online..... I'm OK with buying the doco from Amazon (albeit not happy...
Couldn't you just draw in the sand with a stick? I think if there's an ape who's fluent in English handwriting that would make it to the news pretty fast.
Also it's just a case of anecdotal evidence and definitely not a recommended practice, it was interesting to read this guy's experience. Thanks for sharing!
Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.
Interesting for me is that not only women but also men had significantly lower accepance rates once their gender was disclosed. So either we as humans have a really strange bias here or non binary coders are the only ones trusted.
I'm not sure if I like the method of disclosing people's gender here. Gendered profiles had their full name as their user name and/or a photography as their profile picture that indicates a gender.
So it's not only a gendered VS. non-gendered but also a anonymous VS. indentified individual comparison.
And apparantly we trust people more if we know more about their skills (insiders rank way higher than outsiders) and less about the person behind (pseudonym VS. name/photography).
Thank you. Unfortunately, your link doesn't work either - it just leads to the creative commons information). Maybe it's an issue with Firefox Mobile and Adblockers. I'll check it out later on a PC.
Seems like a wild idea as...
a) it poisons the data not only for AI but also real users like me (I swear I'm not a bot :D).
b) if this approach is used more widely, AIs will learn very fast to identify and ignore such non-sense links and probably much faster than real humans.
It sounds like a similar concept as captchas which annoy real people, yet fail to block out bots.
The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.
I agree you can't see one's gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias ('women code better/worse than men'), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn't impact one's bias.
I know some ethical reasons to skip coffee but as far as I know there are no significant health issues with coffee unless you drink vast amounts of it. Any sources for that claim?
Around 90% of the revenues generated from Russian frozen assets should be spent on arms purchases for Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Monday, supporting an earlier EU proposal to use Russian assets' interest payments to boost Ukraine defence....
You could also liquidate the assets and leave it up to Ukraine what to do with the money. If they buy a big pile of weapons now or if they prefer to invest the money for a longer term could be up to them.
I guess Ukraine rather needs a lot of help right now instead a bit of help over the next 100 years.
