Over the past few days, I was trying out gov.uk prototype system for my static website. Like every night owl, the unbranded template's white background was hurting my eyes.

I googled for some sort of dark mode, found The National Archives Design System. It suits my purpose, has the dark mode, and is extremely aesthetic. The CSS transitions on the radio buttons are an icing on the cake.

In my case, TNA and GOV.UK are different, and I still couldn't properly make the tnaTabs component work.

Just ensure one thing: If you are using one design system, stick to that, though you can definitely use the GOV.UK Unbranded template.

Please note one thing though: there are breaking changes between the various variants of UK Government design systems. For example, as of now, conditional reveals in radio buttons are not supported in TNA Design System.

Here are the different design systems out there: https://github.com/ctdesign/gov-design-systems-list

I have searched for this particular use case of comparators, but nobody called it as the NIMPLY Gate. Thanks to Kebabisoos from ORE, I got to know that the NIMPLY gate even exists.

However, I have been using it for my builds for any kind of AND gate and it's really really convenient for various cases.

NIMPLY Construction:

Comparator in subtract mode with side input and back input giving either same non-zero signal strength or zero.

NIMPLY looks like: A AND (NOT B). One simply needs to use another NOT gate on the side input in order to make the setup an AND gate.

These days, I post stuff as usual on Btechtards. Most of the posts I comment in get rem-ved. There was a time when I used to post stuff everyday, but now, because of my workflow, I don't.

Yesterday, under a post on reservation, I saw a repetitive meme. The meme felt problematic, and... like, you know, the usual occurrence of something problematic becoming something normal? "Normalization" is the word.

I just wanted to say what was truthfully out there about reservation, because I myself didn't know what stance to take. For this, I actually understood what was exactly the case and even wrote a long comment on it. Because I felt like AI could say some stuff better, I added those bullet points to my writing, but ONLY for the one-shot two-shot case.

Now, after speaking the truth, I got downv-ted pretty hard. Wasn't much. Someone told me, "stop [justifying] or incompetence" or something. Nothing much. Someone told me, "you weren't among [the bright bunch, were you?]" or something. Admitted I wasn't that bright (and tried to do so in a serious, sincere manner, because that was also kinda true). Someone commented it was AI slop. People usually think my comments are AI slop based on the length. Yes, I didn't put a comma between slop and based just to show you- oh wait, I didn't even put a comma in this sentence too.

Then, finally, I saw the comment as stated in the image. It broke something in me.

Thought of trying to justify my intelligence, but I fear it would be considered as arrogance. In fact, I didn't initially understand the first part of the comment.

Anyway.

This one comment genuinely felt disheartening. I couldn't take it as a joke anymore. The thing that was being talked about was genes. Gone from a zygote to an adult, chromosomes pulled in the anaphase everytime, skin shedding everytime, blood vessels circulating everywhere - mocking my biology was the matter of the discussion. From the thing I wrote, people started to mock me as a being.

I didn't mention one comment. I didn't reply to that, but it's because it was not part of the problem, and also because I don't fully understand the comment.

Reservation ka mudda tum logon ko insaan ki tarah bachne nahin dega. General ke tarah hee exam mein baitha tha, aur main Tier 3 mein bhi join kiya tha. Mains ka marks mujhe utna help nahin kiya. Angrezi mein ek muhavra hain "back to square one", wahan se hee shuru kiya tha apna college journey. Mere paas sirf mera knowledge tha jo maine online se liya tha. Physics ke Labs mein almost fail karte karte bach gaya, kyunki accha hee nahin lagta tha jaane mein.

Jo bhi kar raha hoon, jaisa bhi main hoon mere college mein, sirf apne dam se hoon. Main toh sirf satya ko dekhna chahta tha/dikhana chahta tha. Aur tum logon ne hagg diya.

She basically nailed it. One doesn't need to be massy to be popular. DHH needs lyrical raps more.

Dictionary kholna chahiye; easy aur massy banane ke chakkar mein arth ke dhaagon ko kho baithenge. Situational ho, novelty ho, jo bhi ho, magar unapologetically authentic hain. Hona bhi chahiye. Log toh rahenge jinko lyrical rap bohot hee zyada accha lagta hain (main khud $ ka Vyanjan repeat mein chalata hoon).

Agar Lifafa ka hee example le, vaise music ko bhi "novelty" music bolke chalaya jaa sakta hain, magar ek din woh novelty music bhi popular ho jaayega (aur ho bhi gaya hain).

Yes, learning enough about Hip-Hop is essential, but songs like these have already set the bar a lot higher, no need to be a mimic.

DOR ENDEDD??????????????? WHY???

Pandas just feels like an extension of SQL. I can do anything I want. I was literally analyzing my osu

I had to find the highest element on a 2D matrix. numpy.max(matrix) was literally enough for this. I mean, we don't have to write iterations anymore.

I love how I am writing argmax for the first time after learning about it in the definition of rationality with respect to AI. I love pandas, I love numpy.

Before downvoting my post, please hold on for a moment.

Danse Macabre's storyboards consisted of oil paintings, Blender for lighting, and a lot of other stuff.

The controversial one is the shader used to 'blend' the 3D models to his paintings. The shader was made out of machine learning from the artist's own art and then was integrated to Blender.

> F*ck you! This is the end of art! You should all be ashamed, Annecy Festival! You should know better[...]

These words were said during the screening of this 5-minute film at the Annecy Film Festival.

What makes this sad as a CS student is... Google Translate is a useful example of Machine Learning. It just means to make the machine output some program for data and results. This is frankly one of the most basic things in Computer Science, and there remains a huge existential crisis.

Like, if CS grads try to make art using the tools they learned, suddenly, the society doesn't accept them anymore? Am I hearing it right? Or is it just the intrusion of AI?

This is not even a point of criticism. Just like the artists felt sad, I feel sad because the tools I use (and am learning) will have no legitimacy anymore. This is what I was fearing. At least art will have its legitimacy, but what about someone trying to be creative using his own works? They won't be able to. This means, in a hypothetical scenario, everything I will try to make using an ML model using my knowledge of CS will be swiftly rejected.

For me, this is beyond the mud-slinging of the pros vs antis that goes on here.

For me, this is an apology, something that none of the sides have probably made here.

I am sorry on behalf of the leeching companies. I really can't see some of the foundational tools I will use taken away from me. I can't imagine the vomit emojis I would see, if I make something someday, even with the help of machine learning.

কোলাহল করে সারা দিনমান কারো ধ্যান ভাঙিব না।
নিশ্চল, নিশ্চুপ;
আপনার মনে পুড়িব একাকী গন্ধবিধুর ধূপ।।
