What really troubles me is the underlying belief that breaking a child's will is right and good. This is a belief found in many, many Christian circles. In my experience, that one belief was used as justification for all kinds of physical and spiritual abuse.
I found myself almost weeping with recognition at these words and their hard-won insight. It is a perspective born of suffering, an epiphany emerging from the ashes of an oppressive belief system. This man shepherded his beleaguered, persecuted church through the long, dark years of Communism and for those deprived of freedom, the gift of freedom becomes one of the most important.
Although the oppression I experienced was spiritual, not political; the dynamics of control were the same. By actively seeking to break a child's will, parents unwittingly engaged in an obliteration of their child's individual personhood and freedom. When humans attempt to break another human will, they desecrate the likeness of God in that person and violate their God-given gift of freedom.
[NOTE ON COMMENTS: if you have pro-Mike & Debi Pearl comments to make, there are plenty of places on Internet to do that. But I will not allow those comments on my blog. Comments ARE open for discussion and safe sharing. It is my goal in writing these pieces to bring awareness to the errant "Christian" parenting methods that have hurt many children in the hope that when Christians know better, they do better. Together, we can build a culture of love where children are treated as fully human.]
Neural networks (at least in the configurations that have been dominant over the last three decades) have trouble generalizing beyond the multidimensional space that surrounds their training examples. That limits their ability to reason and plan reliably. It also drives their greediness with data, and even the ethical choices their developers have been making. There will never be enough data; there will always be outliers. This is why driverless cars are still just demos, and why LLMs will never be reliable.
I have said this so often in so many ways, going back to 1998, that today I am going to let someone else, Chomba Bupe, a sharp-thinking tech entrepreneur/computer vision researcher from Zambia, take a shot.
In his book 'The myth of AI' (2021), Erik Larson argued that it is precisely the pursuit of Big Data(sets) that has been hindering real progress towards AGI. Interesting to see this convergent argument.
In short, diminishing returns are what we can expect. (Asterisk: current models aren\u2019t literally look up tables; they can generalize to some degree, but not enough. As I explained in the 1998 paper and in The Algebraic Mind they can generalize within a space of training examples but face considerable trouble beyond that space.)
Breaking is an urban dance style that originated in the United States in the 1970s. With roots in hip-hop culture, breaking first took form in the lively block parties in the Bronx borough of New York, and is characterised by acrobatic movements, stylised footwork, and the key role played by the DJ and the MC (master of ceremonies) during battles.
Breaking featured at the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018. Following its outstanding success at the Games in Argentina, breaking was added to the Paris 2024 Olympic programme as a new sport.
From the time they were just a baby, one of our four children had a will that was noticeably stronger than the others. I can remember the days of them growing up and getting in trouble time and time again because of their stubbornness and unwillingness to conform.
When our children have done wrong and are in need of discipline, our first step is to talk to them and make sure they understand why they are in trouble and what the discipline they are getting is for.
The user can completely break the wills of others by any means such as; intimidation, torment, poisoning, beating, torture, interrogation, etc., inflicted physically, psychologically, spiritually, and emotionally. They can even manipulate negative energies to transfer them into their intended targets to weaken their positive energies or to absorb their will to use as energy.
As leaders seek to appeal to younger sport fans tuning into the Olympic Games, competitive breaking will make its debut in 2024 in Paris. But many in the Hip Hop community like myself are already nervous that the stewards of breaking will be cast aside in favor of indulgent bad actors or flat-out frauds with no connection to the breaking communities.
Because I have been a practitioner and student of Hip Hop culture since the early to mid-1980s, this work is personal to me. I am a style writer and letter bender in addition to a Bboy with roots in Chicago, and I now live in Arizona. I am the co-founder of Furious Styles Crew, which has been a worldwide Hip Hop collective since its establishment in 1993 with chapters in Barcelona and Copenhagen.
When it comes to Paris 2024, the question is not whether the Hip Hop culture and specifically the dance community want to see breaking in the Olympics or not. Many are happy to see the art form and athletic endeavor we love so much get the chance to grow. There could certainly be benefits for the dance, including a new generation exposed to the culture to continue the legacies and stages to shed light and create opportunities for dancers around the world who continue to sacrifice all for the freedom to express. But at what cost?
Clearly there is room for both breaking and ballroom on the Olympic stage, but the reason breaking lovers worry about the allegiances of the WDSF is because breaking is not merely a sport. Breaking is the original street dance form of what we today know as Hip Hop. Rooted in the African diaspora and manifesting with the Puerto Rican and African American youth in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York City in the mid-1970s, the Breakboys and Breakgirls (breakers) were born.
Breaking is still an infant in comparison to aristocratic forms such as ballroom, but the sport is an undeniable worldwide influence that has literally turned dance and art upside down with its wild style and youthful energy. This is a war dance to many, and freedom to all who embrace it, a dance that is a reaction to music such as that of the godfather of funk and soul, James Brown.
On a platform such as the Olympics, where we can presently see the repercussions for athletes who stand up or kneel down for what they believe in, breaking will be a hard pill to swallow. It is revolutionary by nature and contains an embodied message in every raw dancer. That is, unless it gets watered down or White-washed to make the masses feel comfortable. Replace the original Black music with digitized loops, remove the physical expression down to moves, you remove the story and the soul.
On platforms like Red Bull BC One, the focus is often the return on investment, and that means numbers and getting their product to be associated with young people. Rather than vibrant live music, you hear bells and whistles and high-speed beats that have the dancers all feeling like a looped beat. Hip Hop is the umbrella for the elements, and breaking is its original physical manifestation of this creative intelligence. Progress has been made throughout the years at these events on these forefronts, and we can only hope that this progress continues, along with real work to be a corporation that up until now has projected silence in the recent BLM movements, which does not align with the breaking communities.
This does not mean the relationship between the breaking community and the WDSF or other ballroom groups is impossible, but it would be wise for WDSF to let us learn from past mistakes both in and out of the sports world. This is a dance born to give all equal opportunity; the cypher is the ultimate equalizer to all.
Globalization has accelerated since the latter half of the 20th century, making sport a key cultural import. Whether it was a Michael Jordan sneaker or simply a ball and net that helped new communities discover soccer, the United States gave and received sport along with many nations around the world.
Since Cesium is currently using an older version of when.js, technically there will be a change in when promises execute. While before resolved promises would run immediately, native promises will not run synchronously and will instead run at the end of a frame once resolved. However this implementation detail should not have performance implications within Cesium and is unlikely to affect your apps.
It will affect you if you are handling any promises returned by the Cesium API, as they will have been when-style promises and will now be native-style promises. These are common for handling errors when loading data sources and 3D Tilesets. To know if you are, you can search for .otherwise or .always and replace them with .catch and .finally as described in the top comment.
