Bartering wasn’t made immediately illegal when currency came in. Currency was made to make bartering easier and more fairly divisible.
I pointed this out above, but I think it’s worth repeating: bartering did not exist before currency, or at least there’s no anthropological evidence suggesting it did. People barter when they are used to currency, but don’t have access to any.
Bartering is a replacement for currency. There is no anthropological evidence of bartering existing before the introduction of currency. You would think somewhere there would be, but there’s not.
CAD is a bit like programming, there’s a lot of ways to do any given task. That can make it tricky if you are doing some tutorials that use one workflow, and then start doing tutorials that use a different workflow.
If you want to learn it, do yourself a favor and take time to find a tutorial that goes from start to finish doing the type of project you want to do so you don’t get frustrated when you get midway through.
Like others said, if you are used to doing something in a different CAD software, you might find that the same workflow is clunky in FreeCAD, but if you start out with a workflow that works well in FreeCAD, you are fine.
Seems like a lot of great changes
I’ve seen that happen, too, and sure enough, on my LibreTube app, which pulls from piped, I can’t see any comments right now. For whatever reason, videos aren’t actually playing, either, but there might just be something weird going on with the app.
There are channels that have good, constructive comments
Motorcycles do not burn fuel as cleanly so are more harmful to the environment though so trade-offs
I’m assuming probably not on a “vehicle miles traveled” basis, though.
There’s basically a tree of operations that have been applied to a model. At any point, you can go back and edit what you’ve done at a previous step. For example, if you padded a feature out 10 mm, then added more stuff onto that feature, you could still go back and change that padding operation to 15 mm.
I’m still super new to freecad, and I haven’t done anything too complex in it yet, but my understanding is that some types of those changes can result in the topological naming problem. The way I understand it, when you make a shape, the software numbers all of the segments, vertices, and faces. If later changes are applied to those numbered faces, etc, and you go back and redo the operation that made those faces, etc, in a different order, the numbering will be different, and it will break your model.
There is a fork of freecad that fixes that whole issue, but the fix hasn’t been implemented yet in the main fork cause it’s pretty foundational to the working of freecad, so there’s a lot of things that can break
They monetize your posts by serving ads next to them. If no one can see the content, it’s not monetized. The other thing is using them to train language models and such. That’s a little more abstract, and hard to account for.
Also, not sure if this is still a good way to do things, but there are tools to overwrite all your comments with useless text before deleting it. The thinking is that reddit and any third party websites aren’t going to bother storing multiple versions of a deleted comment.
Your title here isn’t technically wrong, but it is misleading. It should be "white AI faces judged to be more real than white human faces. The way you phased it insinuates that white AI faces are judged to be more real than a diverse mix of human faces.
For anyone who doesn’t want to read the paper, they basically took an 60 white men and 60 white women, and showed them a whole bunch of white faces, half of which were generated by AI. It turns out that AI faces were rated as more human-like than actual humans, and they had some hypothesis why. Principally that AI, by its nature, generates images close to “average”, while real people tend to have features that are not “average”. The reason the study focused on white people is that most AI have been trained on white faces, so AI tends to do better with white faces.
It’s the same thing as when people reference “the economy”, when what they are really taking about is the stock market
Definitely noticed this as well. Wish I could filter out articles by certain keywords/phrases that pop up a lot. I know that’s an option for some of the paid rss readers, but it should be a pretty simple feature from a code perspective, so I don’t want to pay for it. It might drive me to actually learn how to compile my own app. I also want to get rid of any sports news from my local newspaper cause it seems like 50% of what they put out is professional, college, and even high-school sports
I would argue that it is currently a big part of the current economy if you know where to look. Lots of labor works via the principles of a gift economy.
E.g., you help your friend move to a new house, they help you redo your deck, you babysit your brother’s kid, they cook you dinner, etc.
The problem with bartering is that it doesn’t handle 3+ way trades (i.e., person A needs something from person B who needs something from person C, who needs something from person A), and it doesn’t usually handle asynchronous trades.
In gift-based systems, people can literally retire based off the goodwill that they’ve cultivated. There are many old people who serve their families/communities for years who then get taken care of when they need it.
