Can you anyway though?
Unless you're talking about the color reproduction which I can't really comment on. Not really important for devs though.
Are you running rdiff-backup in cygwin? How do you find it deals with the ntfs ACLs? I'm looking for a way to do incremental full-disk backups that leave the files on disk in a "natural" state, with their original pathnames/ACLs/ADSs and not in some weird archive format. Although I suppose rdiff doesn't count as "weird" being as its open source and well supported.
TBH I'm quite liking the look of the windows built-in backup function, I like the idea of the shadow copy service and storing disk images as VHLs. Booting into the backups in virtualbox sounds cool.
The problem is that the "Previous Versions" get stored on the primary drive, not the backup drive, eating into my free space. Unfortunately one can't set it to use the empty space, it wants to preallocate. You also can't set a time interval, only a percentage of the volume.
As far as I can tell consecutive VHL images don't get stored as diffs or anything, they're separate, meaning I'd really only get one at a time.
Oh, come back Time Machine, all is forgiven.
Also this page badly needs a ToC.
What's more, its definitely open to the public, except it isn't really promoted at all (it's only open in the interests of openness, you're not really meant to use it.) As such I can't find the URL for the life of me. Perhaps they closed it.
Any doctor or nurse will know about it, perhaps someone can post the link.
If you're wondering if it really works, yes, it does. One of the key elements of it, especially when using it on people, is accepting that the subject is likely to execute the behavior badly for the first few iterations, but you have to positively reinforce it just the same as if they'd done it perfectly if you want them to get better. If you can't manage this, and you get angry at them, you're jeopardising the whole thing.
There's a nice clip from one of Jordan Peterson's lectures here, talking about these techniques in the context of intimate relationships:
Makes sense to me, afaik the driver UI shows surge pricing based on an area and not individual users.
An intense psychedelic trip could be a good shortcut though.
Those who go around proclaiming everything to be only about sex or only about money or only about power wish to make it so.
Of course natural selection is true, and we ultimately strive to pass on our genes but the mechanisms we've developed that motivate/enable us to do so are absurdly complex and admit much more than mere power games and peacock strutting.
By this logic, the handful of megabytes of unicode making up War and Peace in the original russian should be enough for a non-russian speaker to fully grasp it and all its meaning and implications. It isn't even enough for a native russian speaker to do so.
Humans aren't raised by simply looking at their surroundings, they're raised by interacting with people, who were in turn raised by interacting with people, going back for the whole history of humanity, or arguably mammals. That information isn't all in the genome, although natural selection has put some of it in there. The bit that we don't know how to describe information-theoretically is the bit that isn't in the genome, because we don't know how it's encoded.
I don't see how you'd even try to put bounds on it: this is essentially the problem posed by post-modernism/post-structuralism/literary theory, once you strip away the marxism, and science's response has understandably been to reject it but it can't do so forever if it wants to create AGI.
Or maybe I've misunderstood your point.
I might be pursuaded that a 2 year old could come sooner than we think, via brute computational force as you describe, but I'd argue that a 2 year old with the capacity to become anything more than a 2 year old is much farther away than we think.
EDIT: if, as you claim, we are close to having the computational power to simulate human children, then why aren't we already successfully simulating much simpler animals? IIRC the best we can do is a tiny chunk of a rat, or the whole of various kinds of microscopic worms, and those are just computational models, not turing test-passing replicants.
Not to mention the rest of the ecosystem. Look what happens to humans when they grow up without being properly embedded in the family, with its hundreds of thousands of years of historical contingency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)
We can't even begin to describe the amount of information encoded there.
It's very much an alpha however.

I'm sorry if this seems like exaggeration or scaremongering but I find these stories terrifying far beyond the election of donald trump.
>the governments regularly shouted "fake news"
This is another aspect of what I'm talking about. Once you break the good faith assumption of truth speaking in the public sphere, it becomes a vicious cycle as nobody is incentivised to speak truthfully.
Of course the press has always been used to manipulate the public, but this seems categorically different. The people who are writing these stories are shamelessly fabricating them, as opposed to uncritically republishing information fed to them by authority figures. This breaks down interpersonal trust in society in a way that simply pushing the government line doesn't.
If we've learned anything from the twentieth century its that corrupting the public discourse like this can lead to the slaughter of millions and the downfall of whole societies. This man and those like him deserve harsh punishment.
There's a similar interview here, with another left-winger who claims to be making "satire" and is more outwardly racked with guilt than this man, but who is also still cashing the adsense checks:
