Ivan, please go fight and die for you country on the front-lines against Ukraine. Honestly, this would be the best use of your time.

Not star power, celebrity. There is an entire group of celebrities that have nothing to do with acting: social media "influencers". Using avatars of these people in movies would be an excellent business move because it comes with built-in promotion which is the other half of being a movie star. The only thing that is really necessary to make it work is to ensure that the "influencer" likes the part of the movie you use to sell them on it, to ensure they promote it well but won't ruin it.

Celebrity is also something that can be intentionally cultivated. Many humans are easily manipulated. The movie S1m0ne was a bit over the top but the basic premise is accurate.

Someone who can act. It's not the trivial task that you make it out to be.

They are actors, not supermodels. They can always scan other willing individuals and then make a composite of the features they want to make a new "actor". The appearance of an individual is just about the least important part if they want to replace you with AI. That said, I understand it and would vote the same way.

At this point, I'm a bit confused why they don't generate a large amount of motion capture data to create segments, actions, reactions, etc. before stringing them together into what they want and then use the result to puppeteer a digital avatar. The stringing together part can be made easier by using unsophisticated motion capture by novice actors and feeding it into an AI to select a small pool of relevant motion capture data which you can select the most fitting part from using descriptive labels. I have no interest in putting actors out of work but it just feels like the people that are trying to put actors out of work are doing a shitty job of it.

It's about college students: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsph.umich.edu%2Fnews%2F202...

You don't trend downward for 13 years and suddenly claim the issue is overblown because of small improvements over the last two.

Related? Hmm!

Important to what reason.com is trying to claim.

Anyone taking bets on how long until the protesters are conscripted to die in Ukraine?

It could be an epigenetic effect which means it's a combination of both genetics and environmental exposure. This is to say some are predisposed to developing Parkinson but it must also be triggered by environmental factors.

There is also the possibility that TCE doesn't cause Parkinson's but rather simply something that mimics the symptoms of Parkinson's.

Occam's razor breaks down when you try to apply it to populations due to biological variation.

Just FYI, I'm unaware of a fully static recompiller due to:
1) address calculation issues with indirection
2) data modification requirements

I've seen one static recompiler but it was naive at best and failed entirely when it came to dynamically generated instructions. There are also other issues regarding assembly language tricks like using the operand of an instruction as an instruction by directly jumping too it. This is a neat trick that occurs in Super Mario Bros. for NES.

Static recompilation is an are of interest of mine because I would like to see old games (which have many assembly tricks) be able to run natively on newer systems. I could talk about this in depth but it requires a bit of understanding of the issues that remain, like identifying code versus data. That said, I'm confident a general static recompiler can be produced but it will require plenty of symbolic algebra to translate the old data to the new target.

Take it up with Wikipedia: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

BTW, if you are talking about this MMIX then you wouldn't be translating to another bytecode but rather, MMIX's machine code. Translating from bytecode to machine code is compilation. This can be done ahead of time to simply generate a usable binary using a compiler or it can be done at runtime via just-in-time compilation.

That would be binary translation which is a type of recompiler. Binary translations can be done using either static or dynamic recompilation.
* A static translator completely translates the binary to the new target, fully resolving addresses.
* A dynamic translator partially translates the binary to the new target, caching sections but not all addresses are not fully resolved.

Since bytecode is an intermediate representation, it can easily be easily be fully translated using static recompilation as addressing modes are limited specifically to enable just-in-time compilation.

People have thought a lot about this kind of stuff and clearly defined it.

1) It's directly compiling to bytecode which makes it a bytecode compiler.
2) Bytecode is an intermediate representation, not specific to any hardware, thus excluding the bytecode compiler from being a cross-compiler.

Both cross-compilers are transpilers exist and are different things.

* A cross-compiler compiles code on one platform but generates and executable for a different platform. Example: building an ARM64 executable on a x86_64 platform.
* A transpiler is a "translating compiler" which translates code from one programming language to another. Example: Java source code to Javascript source code.

Maybe but it's a near certainty that people will target WASM. WASM is bytecode that has many similarities to assembly language, so it's likely to be binary blob.

Yes, it will almost certainly be a monolithic, until someone starts hosting the myriad of Java platform libraries.

It took a a lot but I fixed that for you.

Mostly to natural gas but yes, some wind and solar. Natural gas is far from ideal but it's waaay better than coal.

There is no silver bullet. Stop trying to pretend there is only one answer.
