I wouldn't trust any of the graphs or much of the statistical analysis. I was particularly intrigued by the last graph showing the geographic distribution of research. Thankfully, the author has published their methodology on github [1] so we can see that this data is in fact just papers published in the "Energy" category containing the words "artificial intelligence" somewhere in them. This explains why Iran and Malaysia rank above many European nations.

Use what the team you have now is comfortable with. You need to balance the need to get your product completed in a limited amount of time vs. the need to spend time on recruiting people and training them (or forcing them) to use something that they wouldn’t be comfortable with and may cause serious bugs and delays in shipping your solution.

This is the reality in most big (and older) companies, where choice of language, OS, etc., are dictated by who’s available, what they know and “how it’s always been done”, rather than by other considerations that only the technically minded may worry a lot more about.

You didn’t state which uncommon language the experienced programmers like. Since Python libraries are usually written in other languages (like C, or some even in Rust in recent times), you could probably consider giving them the task of writing the low level algorithmic/library work if this is suitable for the product design and if these experienced programmers like a language that can be easily used to write Python libraries. The team members who know Python can work on all the high level stuff.

I don’t think there’s an ideal solution for your situation, more so when we don’t have a lot of details here.

Isn't the prevailing wisdom to skip 3-space and go directly to 4-space, which makes things even simpler and more powerful -- note 4D projective space (homogeneous coordinates, not quaternions and not counting a time dimension).

Reasons for going to 4D are numerous and varied, such as symplectic geometry only works in even dimensions, image/video reconstruction, matrix multiplication, transformations, and other reasons related to computer vision, gauge theory, and topology.

The original paper, linked in the article mentions the mRNA messaging. Intuitively that roughly makes sense -- other cells might have the luxury of being able to directly talk to each other, through physical contact or proximity, but with neurons that is made more difficult due to the possibility of extending electric signals. So carrying information through mRNA might work, but I wonder why mRNA? Why not skip the middle man and go straight for proteins? What's the use of doing it this way? ik I'm anthropomorphizing but it seems to make more sense to just send out proteins to communicate? Or maybe mRNA allows for more finetuning on the other end, and is a more efficient mechanism, since it can be read dozens of times, instead of just being a handful of proteins.....

Be comfortable being you, and take steps to be "more you". Acting in an unnatural way to fit social conventions is a lot of work and often a waste of time unless it's to achieve a short-term goal (e.g. get funding, land a customer, find a partner).

Find time to tackle those interesting problems, even if it's outside of a formal academic environment. Get blogging, vlogging, maybe socialize online more if you're short of time. Doing the things you naturally want to do will re-energize you significantly as an INT* (I'm an INTJ) - if that's work, SO BE IT and ignore anyone who complains about being a "workaholic".

Also, if you are not a people person, don't feel pressured to become one. I have felt this pressure for years and am finally starting to realize it's "OK" for me to prefer my own company. Contrary to many other comments here, you do not necessarily have to force yourself out to social events if you know they ultimately don't work for you (but if they do, go for it!)

Were they waiting for permission for their equivalent of a feature branch to be merged, or were they actually waiting for their code to be added to the repository in the first place?
For me, an American from the South (not sure if that makes a difference), "is" doesn't sound wrong. If I think about it, "has" makes more logical sense. But plenty of phrases we use all the time make no logical sense, so that's not a disqualifier.

That said, "has" definitely doesn't sound wrong, and has the bonus of being more logical. So if you're looking for usage advice, go with "has" in this situation. But know that "is" is acceptable to at least some of us.

it's easy to encapsulate any sequence of mRNA; unless it contains extensive tertiary, while any random sequence of protein is going to fold into an irregular shape and probably also have some catalytic capability (such as proteoltyic) which would degrade the protein coat.

That said, GroEL does that (encapsulates various proteins and refolds them).

I wouldn't even say "fixed", exactly, because that implies it was broken. I _would_ say that the rewrite allowed them to build a different internal implementation that solved some architectural limitations with the approach they were using for reconciliation, as well giving them a chance to clean up some legacy APIs that had been deprecated.
Another good example of a rolling release distro is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It has less of a DIY culture than Arch or Gentoo and the installer will install a graphical desktop by default so arguably it is closer to what the parent poster was asking about.

Would be interesting to look at this through the lens of 1 vs. 2 working adults in a household.

I grew up solidly middle class and we never went out to eat besides occasional fast food if we were on a roadtrip, I wasn't even allowed to purchase school lunches. However, I had a stay at home mom that cooked everything!

Now, that I am an adult none of my friends that I would call "middle class" have a spouse that stays at home. Only those families that are very well-off have 1 adult that doesn't have to work and they tend to be rich enough that cooking most meals vs. going out doesn't matter much for them.

I think this is a case where "middle class" can mean a million different things. I don't think someone is colloquially middle class if they can't afford the crappiest house within 2 hours of their office (slight exceptions for major cities), yet others define it differently.

Yes. Dimensionality can be a little tricky here; what's meant is that eight dimensions are required to express some of the simplices, if we were to interpret them geometrically.

Honestly, I'm more interested in the cohomological features of this network, which would help us find loops and other curiosities in high dimensions. I figure that there have to be some interesting loops in there somewhere.

> Can an OS be rearchitected in ways that would mitigate the performance loss?

The performance loss comes from extra overhead on syscalls, so it could be sidestepped by allowing programs to do more work per syscall.

At its simplest that could mean adding more syscalls that perform the same operation over an arbitrarily long list of inputs (like linux's sendmmsg) but I would like to see kernels take inspiration from modern graphics APIs that allow arbitrarily long lists of arbitrary operations to be batched and executed with a single syscall. GPUs had this stuff figured out years ago.

I just can't agree with this. I used Gnome 3 with excitement when it came out. I found that it was unpolished back then, and probably not ready for general use. I switched to XFCE for a while, then openbox, fluxbox, and a number of tiling window managers, then to MATE and finally back to Gnome.

I've been using Gnome now for about three years. I find the hot corner UI to be intuitive (and I find myself trying to use that and the meta-key expose function on other OSes). The favorites dock and the search are things that I use frequently, and the title bar menus make sense to me.

I was a Gnome 2 user for years as well, and yes it was polished and predictable. But it wasn't attractive. I think Gnome 3 was the next logical step for the project as far as contemporary UI patterns go, and it feels very "ergonomic" to me.
History seems to suggest precisely the opposite hypothesis; namely that the larger your brain is the more benefit there is from further growth, at least with this line of brain architecture.

These shots are most certainly flash. The dark ambient background is achieved by stopping down the shutter. Shutter controls ambient, aperture controls flash exposure. Assuming of course you're not setting it faster than your cameras sync speed (which now can be alleviated by high speed sync) on high end cameras. So now you have a well exposed subject, with nearly dark background.

I happen to know of some other problems: Heat and cross-brain communication time.

Bird brains are much smarter than we are per weight and volume. Not a little bit, but a lot. I think part of the reason they can do that is that they have much better cooling because their heads are small. Having a bigger brain than we do means that it would need to have a lower activity level because of cooling constraints.

There's also diminishing returns from size because the interconnects from one point in the brain to another have longer latency. One response to this is to fold the brain, as we do. Regardless, at some point adding more volume stops making sense.

Poor article, even by the already low standards of The Economist. In effect, trying to tell business leaders they don't understand their market as well as the Economist column-writers do.

> Firms peddling anything much beyond soap, matches and phone-credit are targeting a minuscule slice of the population

Well, yes, but tell us something new. Even this minuscule slice is (a) A large market and (b) is growing quite rapidly. For example:

Automobiles: growing at around 6% p.a, shifting towards more expensive models. Now 4th largest in the world in terms of numbers (no doubt, lower in total $ sales)[1]

Smartphones: 2nd biggest in the world [2]

Consumer Durables: growing at over 10% [3]

Business leaders are not interested in India because they're stupid and they think India is a rich, egalitarian country. They are interested because of a fast rising middle class with a booming consumer economy, which, contrary to the claims of the article, is true. For millions of people like myself, who emerged into the middle class thanks to private sector jobs that only emerged after the 90s, this is lived experience.
