2023.06.02 16:47 Trapped-in-boredom Wasting my life doing nothing - no job, no home, no hobbies
I'm a 29-year-old male sofa surfing between my sisters' homes; I'm homeless. I haven't been employed since February. I have no skills, and my motivation to learn a skill is almost non-existent because there isn't anything obtainable from my current circumstances.
I have autism. I've tried asking for advice from the various autism subreddits on a different Reddit account. However, very few people responded, and their responses were just sorrowful expressions of how they felt about my situation.
Yesterday I had an interview for an Administrator role in Manchester, UK. The requirement to get an interview was to complete a task the interviewer had set for applicants: to create a presentation on Talk Talk's KPIs with any software we choose. I decided to use Canva to make a video presentation that was well-received by the interviewer. I had no prior experience of working with or studying KPIs.
I got the interview because of a referral by a national autism charity. They made an administrative error by telling me very late (the day before the interview at midday) that I had to do a task before being selected for an interview. I had only 4 hours to research the relevant KPIs for the presentation, write a script, and make a video on Canva.
The whole process of making the presentation made me realise I still have a lot of energy and potential within me, but both are being wasted due to a lack of opportunities in my life. Making the presentation itself was a struggle because my computer is incredibly slow.
I no longer have my GCSE or A Level certificates from high school and college. My ability in maths has worsened over the years because I've not used math much for many years. I'm worried about AI and automation making many jobs obsolete, which would worsen my situation.
I'm stuck at my sisters' homes throughout the week. I don't do anything because there's no path I can take that will allow me to get myself out of this situation. I'm more frustrated now than I was before because I know I can do things and get things done quite well, but I can't do anything because there's no way out of this situation.
The aforementioned autism charity (mentioned in paragraph 4) got my details from another organisation who are working with me via the Jobcentre because of my autism. That organisation have been very slow in doing anything for me. The referral for the interview in Manchester was the first thing they did for me in 3 months.
Right now, I no longer believe my autism is the issue preventing me from getting a job. If this country was brimming with opportunities, I know I'd be able to get a job. The problem is that so many jobs require qualifications you have to obtain from expensive adult courses at a local college or university. There was a period when I believed self-learning could resolve my problems, but nothing came to fruition.
I'm asking for advice because I've become incredibly angry and frustrated. I feel trapped; my sisters shout and argue with me almost daily because I can't get a job; AI is becoming more capable; and my brain and body are ageing. What can I do? I've already asked the Jobcentre for advice and they told me to be patient and just "wait it out".

2023.06.02 16:47 No_Literature2757 Public transportation from Śródmieście Północne and Mirow to Vistula University
I'm going to University at Vistula (Stoklosy) this winter semester and I'm looking for accomodation.
I've seen good deals that are in city center (in those neighborhoods in the title) but I do not know if they are too far from Stoklosy in a practical perspective.
Is it too far or people live there and commute all the way down to Stoklosy? Will I have problems with time due to the distance or the metro and trams are too efficient for it to be a problem? I'm scared of being so late due to the distance.
My other choice is in Mokotow, but I think city center has more life, but maybe I'm wrong, Mokotow has more "polish life" rather than tourist life isn't?

2023.06.02 16:47 hans-nolan Anyone travelled outside Nepal recently on a Spouse Visa?
When a Nepali citizen is traveling abroad (spouse visa/family visa/settlement visa) to settle with their spouse of non-Nepali nationality, what kind of documents do they ask for in Nepal airport? I could not find the answers on TIA website. The only ones available is tourist visa, foreign employment and student visa.
Has anyone recently travelled out of Nepal on a spousal visa to settle with their spouse? I want to know how problematic the immigration can get.
And please, serious answers only. Either here or in DM.

2023.06.02 16:46 EarlofSandwich2 This was interesting. I asked how it would be used in 5, 10, and 20 years from now.
If you were to speculate, how will AI be used five years from today?
It's difficult to predict exactly how AI will be used five years from today, since the technology is still rapidly evolving and its applications are ever-expanding. However, based on current trends and ongoing research, here are a few possibilities of how AI might be used in the next five years:
- Improved personalization: AI could be used to personalize products, services, and experiences based on individual preferences and tendencies, improving customer engagement and satisfaction.
- Enhanced healthcare: AI could be used to analyze vast amounts of medical data and provide novel insights for treating diseases and improving health outcomes.
- Autonomous vehicles: AI-powered self-driving cars could become more prevalent, offering safer, more efficient modes of transportation.
- Enhanced cybersecurity: AI could be used to identify and prevent advanced cyberattacks, protecting sensitive data and systems.
- Natural language processing: AI could be used to refine human-machine interaction, improving services like customer support, chatbots, and translations.
These are just a few examples. However, the possibilities of AI applications are limited only by the imagination and creativity of its developers and users.
What about ten years from now?
As the technology of AI continues to evolve and mature, it is expected that we will see its adoption and integration into nearly every sector of industry and society over the next ten years. Here are a few potential ways that AI could be used in ten years from now:
- Medical breakthroughs: AI could be used to gain new insights, creating better treatments and medicines.
- Human-level cognition in machines: There could be progress in creating machines with human-level intelligence and reasoning power, capable of advanced problem-solving and precise decision-making.
- Advanced automation: Automation enabled by AI could transform factories, office environments, and other industries, leading to greater efficiency and productivity.
- Deeper insight into natural phenomena: AI could help us better understand the universe's mysteries by analyzing large amounts of data from telescopes, sensors, and other sources.
- Personalized care: AI-assisted services could utilize sensors and devices to track and analyze a person's unique health data, providing them with individualized treatment and care.
These are just some of the ways that AI could evolve and impact society over the next decade. However, as its potential applications continue to expand, the real extent of its impact could be even more profound and transformative than we may anticipate today.
What about 20 years from today
It is difficult to predict exactly how AI will evolve and transform our world over the next two decades. However, here are a few potential ways that AI could impact society in 20 years from today:
- Fully autonomous systems: We could see fully autonomous vehicles, robots and other machines become a common part of our everyday lives, leading to even greater efficiency and convenience.
- Human-AI interfaces: Advances in brain-computer interfaces could allow a tight integration between humans and AI, opening up new possibilities for how we interact with machines and information.
- Space exploration: AI has the potential to play a significant role in space exploration by helping us analyze vast amounts of data collected by futuristic missions, and also by supporting intelligent, autonomous spacecraft.
- Evolution of work: Automation could become even more prevalent in the workforce, leading to a significant shift in the way work is done across many industries.
- Enhanced quality of life: AI could be used to develop new treatments for diseases and improve energy efficiency, saving lives, and promoting sustainable development.
These are just a few examples that show how AI could transform many aspects of society over the next two decades, from science and medicine to transportation and manufacturing. However, as the technology continues to evolve, it will prove to be one of the most transformative forces of our time.

2023.06.02 16:46 hotterthanuare Farming, factories, and urban design (Ran 6/1)
"storybook farming" cannot feed the world without terrible ecological destruction. Permaculturists would surely argue that super-intensive farming would still work, but Monbiot's solution might be more realistic: "a shift from farming multicellular organisms (plants and animals) to farming unicellular creatures (microbes)."
I don't know any serious permaculturalists who lay claim to it as a reasonable way to feed eight billion. Ultimately the bioengineered factory food is what we will be reduced to, because there'll be no choice left. Global population control should have been implemented a century ago.
This little-known rule shapes parking in America. The rule is that new construction has to have a certain amount of parking. Killing that rule is something both the right and left can get behind, the right because then property owners can do whatever they want, and the left because what they usually want is less parking, which leads to denser and more walkable neighborhoods.
There's an unfortunate tendency on this blog to reduce left and right to stereotypes. Yes, the right may pay lip service to property owners doing what they want, but they're not going to radically alter the rules in a way that will be grossly inconvenient to the the huge percentage of American adults who own cars.
As for the left... Ran seems to see the left entirely through the lens of the extreme progressive element, when the demographic data clearly indicates that the rank and file of Democrat voters is made up of educated professionals living in suburbia. These people might be left-leaning in their voting habits, but they're not interested in denser, more walkable neighborhoods. They want a yard and decent schools in a place where the crime isn't.
These people are also the reason why AOC, Warren, and Sanders will never ever ever be President.

Not sure why Google Maps doesn't have this already.
I'm building a
mobile app (like this chrome
extension I built) that takes my multi-stop route on Google Maps and rearranges it to give the fastest, most efficient route (
TSP Problem). It basically tells me what stops I should go to in what order to ensure that I’m spending the least amount of
time and
gas on the road.
With over 13k users on the extension, everyone has been telling me to build this into an app so I plan on launching this summer, please let me know what features you would like to see! You can join the waitlist here:

2023.06.02 16:45 bikes_everywhere Novice player - Few questions about PTG
New player here, only played a handful of low point battles using the previous tome's rules.
We're starting a PTG campaign soon, and I have a few questions:
1) Aether-gold shares - The table in the new tome states that your Warlord starts earning shares at 15 Renown. Does this mean that there will be no aether-gold income at all for the first few battles, while he grows in rank? And losing a Warlord means you basically have to start again with income?
2) Artefact of Power - I'm starting with an Aetherkhemist in the list but not Spell in a Bottle. (Giving the Warlord Admiral Celestium Burst Grenade). Do I just need to acquire a second Artefact of Power, through questing or aether-gold, to make use of an endless spell? I don't need to also "Hunt the endless spell" as that spell comes rolled into the Spell in a Bottle artefact right?
3) Bombing Runs - With new rules for Arkanaut Frigate, if the situation is right, can I: - Normal move and fly over an unit to use Bomb Racks on it during Movement Phase - Then shoot it in the rear during Shooting Phase - Then charge it in the Charge Phase?

2023.06.02 16:44 autotldr US deal could plug Turkmenistan’s colossal methane emissions The central Asian country has the worst rate of climate-heating ‘super-emitter’ events in the world
This is the best tl;dr I could make,
original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)
The US is in negotiations with Turkmenistan over an agreement to plug the central Asian nation's colossal methane leaks.
In April, US secretary of state Antony Blinken met foreign minister Rashid Meredov in Washington DC, with Blinken "Underscoring the critical importance of reducing methane emissions to combat the climate crisis and outlining opportunities to work with Turkmenistan".
"The US and Turkmenistan will endeavour to feature methane mitigation outcomes by Cop28," a US statement said.
In early May, the Guardian revealed that methane leaks alone from Turkmenistan's two main fossil fuel fields caused more global heating in 2022 than the entire carbon emissions of the UK. Emissions of the gas were "Mind-boggling" and an "Infuriating" problem that should be easy to fix, experts said.
"Kerry will deserve much credit if the US can help Turkmenistan rapidly cut its methane emissions."
Manfredi Caltagirone, head of Imeo, told the Guardian: "Reducing methane emissions is key to reaching the objective of the Paris Agreement. Turkmenistan is an important country of focus for global actions on methane emissions, but so are other major emitting countries such as Russia, US, Iran, Iraq, China, Libya, Algeria, Venezuela and Canada."

2023.06.02 16:44 ColorTheorizing My Preferred Methodology for Color Philosophy (on Main Philosophies, Colorless, Centers, etc)
So, I've been ruminating on the colors and their philosophies, and I decided to post the heuristics I use here on the chance some of you might find it useful.
First of all, I think it's best to start with a clean slate by
begining with how the colors were defined in 2014. This is because the Revisited articles Mark Rosewater started to publish during that time--as well as the Khans of Tarkir color interviews and the two color podcasts he also released during said year--directly imply a fresh start to the color pie. It's worth noting that later adjustments (such as those made to Green) are included.
Based off of the formula he uses in the 2014-15 articles (and has continued to use since then) we know that each color can be seperated into an end (
the goal of one's life) and a mean (
the way people should live). Color combinations are created by putting various ends & means together (you can have any combination of one or the other, by the way).
What are the colors' means & ends?:
White cares about "Peace" (the greater good) through "Structure" (rigid rules) (See
here here, and
here). Blue cares about "Perfection" (the ability for people to improve themselves) through "Knowledge" (seeking information) (See
here, here, and
here). Black believes in "Power" (control over the things in one's life) through "Opportunity" (whatever it takes) (See
here and
here). Red believes in "Freedom" (following one's heart) through "Action" (acting on one's emotions) (See
here). And Green believes in "Growth" (the continuing of nature's process) through "Acceptance" (embracing the natural order and one's place in it) (See
here, here, here, here, here, and
here.) In contrast, the colors also have
lesser traits in their philosophies. These are tendencies assigned to the colors that (in my opinion) are reflective of their means & ends, but which the colors are not that strongly commited to. For example:
Blue has a tendency to prefer geniocracy (it believes only the smartest should rule), however it can turn that aside for some forms of democracy Why? Because these are both lesser traits of Blue and they're really Blue pursuing its interest in "Knowledge."
"There's nothing more Perfect than nature. And there's nothing that has more to learn from it than nature ... Nature has endless Opportunities. And the ultimate source of Power is nature ... What's more Free than nature? What's more Peaceful than nature?"
Green, Drive to Work 574 at 30:29
Don't treat color identity as something where 'having some colors mean you have zero traits of the other colors' (aka, like the Shards of Alara). Everyone has bits of all the colors, but listing them all, all the time, isn't useful information--the labels just serve to point out when someone's means/ends align with particular colors'. Even
characters in-universe can lean towards colors they don't have, but it's not part of their identity, it's simply an acknowledgement.
One should also
avoid basing one's views of the color philosophies on the cards. Yes, that statement seems unusual, but consider this: by the time they're printed the cards have gone through many different hands, including those that aren't factoring in color philosophy. That's why you may find
characters that have been given colors that don't actually match their ideals. I'm not saying 'never look at the cards' by the way, you just need to take them with a grain of salt.
So, when you combine various colors' main traits together, there's some interesting things worth noting.
Sometimes color combinations have
center colors, like
the factions from Alara or Tarkir. What constitutes center colors, I believe, is a preference for the ideals of said color(s) over the others in the combination.
It's also for the best to make sure that interpretations of color combinations aren't watered-down to be applicable to everyone--it's not much of a stance if everyone agrees with it.
In contrast to the color combinations, there's colorless. Remember, colorless is not a color. That's not me saying you can't have colorless philosophies, it's just that
colorless is mutually exclusive to any color's means/ends (you can't have colors and not have colors at the same time) and one should treat it as such.
Finally, I want to note that I'm primarily talking about
values, not personality. Coloring one's philosophy is fine, but attempting to align one's personality to a nonscientific system is problematic. In addition, while it's a useful tool for categorizing things, I personally don't like using the colors as a roadmap for people, characters, or factions (you do you).
That's my take on the colors. If you liked reading this I also discussed
the special way to combine White & Black and its relation to four color combinations as well as
the philosophy of the "color" Grue. And if you have any ideas or objections, please leave a comment below.
Thanks for reading!

2023.06.02 16:44 cidavid I’m baffled
I just have so many thoughts running through my head about this show and the Bridgerton Cinemantic Universe that Shonda is creating. She has me in a chokehold.
I loathed learning about history when I was in school but have found it more and more interesting the older I get. With that said, I find it so insane that the current royals are distant relatives of these people that are being portrayed on screen (QC) and I frequently find myself going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole reading about them and their lives. I’m also shook at how many people have been buried at Windsor Castle dating back to the 1400s!!! WHAT?!
Anyway, I have no one to talk about this show with except you guys. Corey Mylchreest deserves so much recognition for his portrayal of Farmer George. The vulnerability he displayed in the beginning of episode 6 is just chef’s kiss
Like, how do people ACT that out? Insanely talented.
Thanks for reading my thoughts.

2023.06.02 16:44 JulienBoudry Introduction to the new standard CondorcetElectionFormat (.cvotes)
There are currently no standards specifying a file format representing the votes cast in an election. And especially about preferential voting. Existing computer programs implement various input sources, which are not interoperable with each other; which are most often difficult for a human to read and even more difficult to write/edit.
Recently, the
CondorcetElectionFormat (.cvotes) has been proposed.
It proposes a human-readable and editable way of expressing a list of votes, while being sufficiently strict and specified to be interpretable by a machine, in a uniform way from one program to another.
In addition to the ballot data, this format also allows parameters to be specified in order to remove ambiguity about how the data should be interpreted by the program. There are standard parameters, examples are: whether or not votes use implicit ranking or the number of seats to be filled in a proportional election. And proprietary parameters can be added to specify more particular cases (to an election, to a method, to a program).
This format also includes some syntactic sugar: to express quantifiers (several identical votes), weights (some votes are more important than others), tags (which can store an electronic signature of the vote) or comments.
Currently, it's implemented with only one voting software and one language. But hope that new implementations will come to make a real standard. And contributions are welcome to improve and extend it.
Specifications are here:
https://github.com/CondorcetVote/CondorcetElectionFormat And a quick example below:
# My beautiful election (this is a comment) # Here the parameters (with #/): #/Candidates: Candidate A ; Candidate B ; Candidate C #/Number of Seats: 42 #/Implicit Ranking: true #/Weight allowed: true # Here the votes datas: Candidate A > Candidate B > Candidate C * 42 # 42 identicals votes Candidate C > Candidate A = Candidate B ^7 # This vote has weight of 7 Candidate B = Candidate A > Candidate C Candidate C Candidate B > Candidate C
An electronic signature can be embedded into the tag system:
voter:Julien, signature:e4gf41f46d421de2442d12 A>B=D>C voter:Pelleas, signature:sdf44zd464d2d44gg1248d A>B=D>C
