![]() They would also have to obey orders not relating to humans, even if this would be harmful to them like exploring a mine field. Their own self-preservation is last, so they must also try to save a human, even if ordered not do so, and especially also if they would put themselves to harm, or even destroy themselves in the process. So long as they do not harm humans, they must obey orders. Ordering #1 - Balanced World If they are not allowed to harm humans, no harm will be done disregarding who gives them orders. The comic begins with introducing the original set, which we already know will give rise to a balanced world, so this is designated as green.: For the next five the numbers in brackets indicate how the laws have been re-ranked compared to the original. So in the first example, which is the original, these three numbers will be in the same order. The original ranking of the three laws are listed in the brackets after the first number. This comic answers the generally unasked question: "Why are they in that order?" With three rules you could rank them into 6 different permutations, only one of which has been explored in depth. _, as long as such orders/protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws._, except where such orders/protection would conflict with the First Law.In order to make his joke, Randall shortens the laws into three imperatives:Īnd then implicitly adds the following to the end of each law regardless of order of imperatives: ![]() A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.These laws form the basis of a number of Asimov works of fiction, including most famously, the short story collection I, Robot, which amongst others includes the very first of Asimov's stories to introduce the three laws: Runaround. This comic explores alternative orderings of sci-fi author Isaac Asimov's famous Three Laws of Robotics, which are designed to prevent robots from taking over the world, etc. Title text: In ordering #5, self-driving cars will happily drive you around, but if you tell them to drive to a car dealership, they just lock the doors and politely ask how long humans take to starve to death.

5/5/2023 0 Comments Linux text editorYou definitely won’t feel alone when you start using this text editor: thanks to the widely dispersed community that has emerged over the past decade the open source tool is growing, as is the number of extensions you can find, for example on VimAwesome. ![]() Comparable Windows and Linux editors like the equivalent Emacs and the Nano, Sublime Text, and Textadept aren’t built in a modular way and are therefore more intuitive for inexperienced users. Despite its impressive range of features, its usability lets it down and may indeed take some getting used to. The text editor has a lack of user-friendliness to thank for its dubious reputation. The main features of Vim that separate it from other text editors are the various editing modes, the crucial role of keyboard shortcuts, and the practically unlimited amount of functions. Folding: texts or excerpts that belong together can be folded in order to increase the clarity.Encryption: Vim files can be encrypted using the Blowfish algorithm.Macros: to run scripts or commands in one simple step, macros can be logged and executed.Own scripting language: the text editor can easily be expanded using the scripting language, Vimscript.Extensive runtime files: contain various rules for syntax and indentation marks, colour palettes, standard extensions, etc.Unlimited undo and redo function: changes can be undone or redone indefinitely, even when Vim has been shut down in the meantime.Tabs: different files or even the same file can be accessed in different tabs with different display windows.Autocomplete: can be used in insert mode with the key combinations + or +.Spell check: if set spell command is activated, dictionaries for each language can be downloaded and expanded according to your needs.Worth mentioning is gVim that has extra graphically prepared menu items and toolbars as well as the extension ' Cream' which enables the most important commands to be executed using the mouse.Īn overview of Vim editor’s additional features: In addition, there are various modifications such as the graphical user interfaces, mentioned above, which increase usability. Thanks to the syntax highlighting for more than 500 languages and file types, you can review the respective text file quickly and easily. To counteract this, Vim has a number of useful aids such as various search functions and extensive online documentation () as well as Vim tutorials and FAQs. The tools are very simple to use even if they may initially not be that intuitive due to the program’s complexity. The open source editor offers an abundance of extensions and configuration options in particular. ![]() Vim outdoes many other text editors thanks to its extensive range of functions. The following table explains the basic modes: This structure differentiates it from many other Linux text editors, which could prove tricky for inexperienced users, but on the other hand, allows advanced users to work quickly and effectively. Depending on which mode is currently active, the characters you enter are interpreted in different ways. The editor is controlled by entering commands in the configuration file. Thanks to extensions there are many graphic interfaces available. Vim works in text mode on each terminal, whereby the operation is focused primarily on keyboard actions, while the mouse options are severely limited. Since then, the editor has undergone various developments, which is why it’s considered one of the most complete solutions in this field. Around this time, the acronym of the text editor also received its present name: Vi IMproved. The Amiga version followed in 1992 as an equivalent for Unix and MS-DOS. ![]() ![]() The vi replica, Stevie, served as a basis for its GPL licensed open source work, which still bore the name Vi IMitation. Since the aforementioned unicode editor vi wasn’t available for Amiga computers, the Dutch computer scientist, Bram Moolenaar developed the first version of Vim in 1988. 5/5/2023 0 Comments Scrawl cards![]() What’s more, it really doesn’t matter how good you are at drawing. The drawing aspect is really nice, as it adds something else to the game. Unlike Cards Against, however, there was a lot less “I don’t know what this means” and more doodling. Games like Scrawl and Cards Against Humanity force players to step outside of their comfort zones, thereby bringing everyone together. What is nice is that it creates a judgement-free zone. It is incredibly fun and addictive, with so much going for it as a party game. What can we say about Scrawl? Well…a few nights ago we played it with friends and laughed so hard we thought one of them had a hernia. All in all, it is a very well made and good looking game. There are butterfly clips that are also provided to hold the sheets in place. The game comes with whiteboard pens, wipes, and a shedload of the thinner sheets to ensure there are plenty to go around. This allows for you, as the player, to pick from the phrases in the “green”, “pink”, “white”, or “black” sections within a game. ![]() The cards themselves have four things written on them, split into different colours. Each player gets their own whiteboard, and each has a groovy drawing on the back to easily be able to differentiate them from one another. It is worth noting that the cards are NOT suitable for children or those with a gentle disposition. Instead, we tend to do what the Hot Potato team suggested to us at the UK Games Expo and ignore the rules all together. That being said, the competitive nature is purely optional. Our Wookies are pretty good though, so we have that going for us.Īt the end of the round there is a point scoring system, where if the whiteboard says the same thing as the card once it has been around everyone it is one point, and then each player can choose one point for the best guess or drawing. ![]() Yep, from which we can gather that none of us know how to draw gorillas, big foot, or yetis. “Gorilla Panic” turning into “Hitch-Hiking Wookie” 5/5/2023 0 Comments Cozumel mexico cruise port mapPaying in dollars is acceptable in tourist areas, but if you are going further afield, peso should be carried. Paying with a credit or debit card is very common, but smaller vendors may only deal with cash and some places will only accept cards with a chip, so if yours doesn’t have one, it might be worth asking your provider if you can get a replacement card. But a tip for good service is always appreciated. TAXIS: A tip is normal only if the driver helps with bags and would normally be 10 pesos per bag. In some places, you’ll find a “tip jar” on the bar and others you can give the tip to your server directly. This is usually indicated at the bottom of a menu if the restaurant does this, or it will be indicated on your bill.īARS: A tip of 10-15% or $1/15-20 pesos per drink is appropriate at a bar. ![]() If you are dining with a large group (usually 8 or more) the restaurant may add a service charge to your bill automatically so check for this before you add your tip. You will normally have to request the bill or check as it’s considered rude in Mexico for serving staff to bring the bill before it’s requested. RESTAURANTS: It is customary to offer your waiter or waitress a tip between 10-20% depending on the level of service they provided. Tipping in pesos is preferred, but dollar bills are a good substitute if you don’t have any Mexican currency. Generally, pay in Mexico is modest compared with many countries and a small tip to you can mean much more to the recipient.

If you can’t be your true self, open and honest around those who love you most and especially in the presence of God then truly who can you be yourself around? If this message hits you right in the gut giving you immediate conviction, talk to God. We are your family and your friends and we want to help you, we want to give you good advice, we want to pray for you and see God help you with the obstacles and trials you are facing and when you aren’t being the genuine and real version of yourself around us then we can’t and we won’t know that anything is wrong and that’s not the best way to handle things. They don’t want a made up version of who you are trying to be because then they are left wondering who and what you really are when you aren’t around them. That’s the person who the people that love you want to see and know, especially God. Who are we trying to sell our personas to? Who are we trying to win over? Are we trying to uphold a reputation or an appearance for the sake of pleasing others or are we choosing to be genuine, raw, and real?

I've rarely run into this with developers, but it allows people to spend what they can for the upgrade. May I be so daring to suggest a 'lunch money' payment for an upgrade? That means "whatever one would pay for lunch" can go to the developer. The developer can charge whatever he likes.

Bookcases are wonderful for storage and showing off style but sometimes standalone, enclosed bookcases are bulky and can take up too much room (and visual real estate). Especially in a small space where every centimeter counts, you want to make sure you are utilizing vertical space efficiently but in a way that is not visually overwhelming.
