I think this is a great idea at least for fields where reproducibility is comparatively easy to achieve, e.g. computer science: Include your data, code and run environment (using a suitable technology) with the paper to give reviewers a chance to "play" with your experiments (if they actually have the time for this).

In other fields such as experimental physics or biology it might be more difficult to achieve the same effect though, as experiments are quite hard to repeat in general: For example, in my former field (experimental quantum computing), building the setup and fabricating the sample required for a given experiment could take years of effort, making it almost impossible to "just" reproduce someone's work for the sake of verification.

That said, in experimental quantum physics the exciting results tended to get replicated within a couple of years by different teams anyway, not because these teams wanted to verify the results but rather because they wanted to build their own experiments on top of them (I imagine this is similar in other fields). Another natural way of exchanging knowledge and improving reproducibility was via the exchange of PostDocs and PhD students: If you do good work in one group, another group will usually be very eager to give you a position so that you can help them to set up the experiments there as well. I'd even argue that this is one of the main mode of knowledge dissemination in experimental science today, as most research papers are just extremely hard to reproduce without the specific -and often not encoded- knowledge of the individuals that ran the experiments.

I'm not sure though if it is practical to document everything in a research paper in such a way so that any person can reproduce a given experiment, as many of the techniques are very specialized and a lot of the equipment in the labs (at least in physics) like sample holders, electronics, chip design templates and fabrication recipes is custom-built, so documenting down to the last detail would take years of effort.

That's why (IMHO) written PhD theses are so important, because that's kind of the only place where you can write 200-400 pages about your work, and where you can include minute details such as your chip fabrication recipe, a description of your custom-built measurement software and a detailed summary of the experimental techniques used in your work. In that sense, PhD theses are probably more important to reproducibility than short papers.

Is this true of current-day Greece (and future Greece, since things are only getting worse)?
The article states: The earliest commercial casualties of Mr Fu’s whistleblowing were carmakers in America, Europe and Japan, whose share prices plunged.

But your question makes absolutely no sense to begin with in the context of the article: it is about hypothetical scenario in 2024. That's why I naturally doubted that you read or, considering your statement, understood the article premise.
One should keep in mind that some of the restrictions were in place to prevent the bots from having too easy of a time. For example, the anti micro/illusion rule was intended to limit the obviously superior micro coordination of the bots.

That doesn't make sense, how would they ever get misdirected bags to you if bags weren't ever allowed to fly without their owners being onboard?

It happens all the time that bags get to a flight that the passenger misses and passengers get to a flight that bags miss. Not remotely unusual. It's happened to me recently too.
This was my takeaway as well. As indicated by the very first comment on the article, the author seems to be completely unfamiliar with the concept of colour temperature, yet still happily pushes LEDs == "blue" light == bad.

All in all an interesting but uninformed article (which seems par for the course on Medium these days).

Unfortunately not! The graph in Luna isn’t an external visualisation of parts of the data flow, but an explicit alternate syntax for the Luna AST. It’s isomorphic to the textual syntax.

It would be possible, perhaps, to use some of the machinery for display to draw other pipelines, but I work on the compiler rather than Luna Studio, so perhaps I’m not the best person to say!

~0.9 μSv concentrated in on the surface of the skin is a much higher cancer risk than that same radiation spread over the body. A traveler that goes through these things 200 times a year for short flights really does have a significant increased risk of cancer. Even if they are slightly under the 250 μSv full body dose limits at 180 μSv due to that concented exposure.

This would be more interesting if it was about something that was more of a quality comedy.

I don't understand why jokes about vaginas, being fat, being gross or sex are funny to so many people.

Something is ultimately funny cause it is unexpected and true in a certain perspective.

My guess is that people think it is unexpected that people talk about these things and that is why they laugh and think it is funny.
To me the concept of using such a simple idiotic picture of what a human is, is cringe. It is sort of embarrassing that people find it funny.

This, a thousand times! Our criminal justice system is in fact based on penance, but forced penance is a flawed concept. In order to get a lighter sentence (or later parole) perpetrators are expected to show penance for what they did, but they are coached in what to say so it is usually a lie which causes a rift between society and the offender which is almost irreparable.

This follows a line of "counter-culture" mentality, an us-vs-them mind-set which is divisive and self-reinforcing. The same problem comes with the war on drugs, if someone experiments with drugs at a young age and consequentially finds that they like drugs then they are forced into a counter-culture where escape is difficult at best.

When Greece had its own currency, it could devaluate... but that that would keep people employed doesn't follow.

Back when the Greek had the Drachma, the the Greek state had to pay high interest on its debt, and part of the reason for that was the possibility of a devaluation. The high cost of debt service was a burden on the economy, including on employment.

Could you tell me some more about this? I have used the web speech recognition API in Chrome (coming soon to Firefox also) to create a free project for real-time, editable, transcriptions in the browser that could be projected on a screen or subscribed to on a person's own device.

I am frustrated by:

- lack of cross-browser support on whatever device is generating the transcript. It will work from any Android phone but not from iOS

- No offline functionality, because the work is actually not done locally

- Poor accuracy.. we can correct this on the fly with the live editing, but it feels like it is not using the latest & greatest Google has to offer in terms of STT

For a lot of use-cases cases I don't see a need for a distinction between the two (if you don't have a requirement for mutability, revokation, etc.). Especially in recent developments in the decentralized space, it seems to me that having most data (regardless of object or entity) be immutable and content-addressable, makes reasoning about systems a lot easier, since you don't have to worry about the data you are pointing to changing from under you. Of course, different use-cases have different needs.

> The DID in this instance is the record of verifying who this entity is, and if they should be trusted to do that action.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use a CID for that. As long as the content the CID points to contains the record of the entity, and a cryptographic signature, you could do the exact same thing.

The idea isn't for third parties to check CT logs against CAA records. Instead, the idea is for the domain owner to check CT logs to detect CAs issuing certs that shouldn't be there.

This is orthogonal to CAA records. You can check CT logs without having a CAA records, and CT logs can also be used to detect misbehavior from a CA you authorized in your CAA records. At the same time, CAA records are preventative, whilst CT logs only allow detection after the fact.

The European Central Bank is controlled by its board of directors, who are appointed by the European Council.

The European Council is just the assembly of the EU's heads of governments.

It's basically the same system as it is for the US' FED, or most other central banks for that matter. The only difference is that it's not a single head of state but the group of 18. But then again the US Senate also needs to consent for FED appointments, and it's a rather similar body of regional delegates.

It's also doubtful that the ECB had any meaningful choices since 2008. The low-interest, quantitative-easing policy is common among all the relevant central banks, including not just the US but also Britain or Japan.

While I agree with you in general, I'd like to point out a maybe-not-so-small detail:

> Sure, there will be papers where very specialized hardware or internal infrastructure of 10,000 computers were used. But those papers would be great for Tier 2 conferences.

This is an accurate description of a _lot_ of Google papers when it comes to Computational Linguistics. And I don't know whether a Tier 1 conference that rejects the biggest players could remain a Tier 1 conference for long.

There are many papers in Comp. Ling. right now that claim state of the art by running neural networks for a couple weeks on very expensive hardware. If those papers are not allowed in Tier 1 conferences then we should call it "state-of-the-cheap-art", but accepting them undermines the whole point since only a select few can afford it.

I don't say it can't be done. But I do think that it's not trivial.

Actually ... no.

Market price is based on the present level of supply and demand. Dumping all shares on the market would swamp demand with excess supply. The entire notion of market capitalisation has ... significant issues.

Put in a different context, many advocates of asteroid mining treat ore prices as fixed. The reality is that dumping an astronomical quantity (literally!) on the market would have drastic impacts (non-astronomically).

Hi everyone!

I know I've posted my sideproject/SaaS already but I think it is time to try again. It's been 4 months already and a new front-end design and panel design have been introduced. Also I've had a lot of feedback regarding the existing features, but also for new features. And (obviously, since I'm posting it here again) I'm looking for more people that want to give their feedback.

I'll quote my post from the first topic below since that covers most of the much needed 'know how'.

Also I had some comments about the pricing, I know it may be a bit low for most people (even companies?). However I'm not trying to rip people off but just to provide a hopefully useful service. If I'm able to play it even with regards to the money I'm happy since it is being used by myself too. :)

Hi everyone! Creator/developer of Servitor.io here, if you’ve got any feedback, comments or questions please ask them. I’m happy to read and answer everything, especially since this is my first SaaS side-project I’m trying to launch and I have much to learn. :)

Servitor was developed mostly to scratch my own itch that there wasn’t a good, reasonably priced and easy product that allowed me to monitor a few of my other side project servers and websites. Although I’m using it myself for a few months now it is still in early stages, so bugs and issues may be there. There are also many improvements on the roadmap, the most important features are: better graphs/Ajax loading, live statistics and more monitors. (Feel free to get in touch if you know an extra feature)

If anyone is interested in the technology stack, it is just plain old Mysql 5.7, PHP7.1 and Laravel 5.5. Instead of blindly using new technologies and running into issues, I decided to use the old-trusted stack and actually try to ship something for once. So far I’m on track I think.

Finally, I’m not a native English speaker, so my apologies for all (stupid) grammar and spelling mistakes. I’m hoping everyone is able to understand me without too much trouble.

No but it's stupid to claim a nation's overall proficiency at swimming (what this thread is about) is affected in any meaningful way by migrants that doesn't even represent a percent of their population.

If you don't think that's what you were saying, I invite you to re-read what this thread is about, and your comment to it.

The fact that these few people in particular might drown more often proportionnaly is 1. not what this is about, 2. unsourced, especially since as the article state culture who don't know how to swim are scared of it and don't try to do it, unlike culture like ethnic belgian who aren't scared of it and thus have more chance to drown by effect of not being afraid of going into the sea despite not knowing how to swim.

This is a pleasant but intentionally very elementary summary of the relevant concepts. If you're interested in much more on this, one place to start is MO (https://mathoverflow.net/questions/4841/what-precisely-is-ca...), or the n-Category Café (https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2008/10/what_is_categor...), or Baez's TWF 121 (http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/week121.html).

Warning: all are much math-ier than Riehl's very nice slides, although the first one has enough content that you may find an answer that you like. If your math itch still isn't scratched, there's Baez and Dolan's paper "Categorification" (https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9802029). I don't know a programmer-focussed view on categorification; can anyone recommend one?

Thanks for the link. With that paper in hand, I can say confidently that the Scientific American article is a flat out lie, starting from the headline.

Chart S1 plots the distribution of the predicted probability for survival in four conditions. The distributions for "Male Doc, Female Patient" and "Female Doc, Female Patient" are visually indistinguishable and peak at around 0.96. "Female Doc, Male Patient" peaks at around 0.97, "Male Doc, Male Patient" at 0.98 or so. The difference in the position of the maximum is real, but tiny; the distributions for female patients are much wider (which visually exaggerates the difference). The math seems to agree with my reading, as it says: "when physician
gender (male / female) is regressed upon (ŷ), conditional upon controls, there is no significant correlation between ex ante probability of survival and the gender of the physician."

So, dear "Scientific American": It is completely untrue that "Women Die More from Heart Attacks Than Men—Unless the ER Doc Is Female". The data says that "Women Die More from Heart Attacks Than Men—No Matter Who Treats Them" and that "Men Die More from Heart Attacks Than Other Men—When the ER Doc Is Female"

No thanks for turning a study that found tiny differences into a politically charged statement.

But then why would Brad Greenwood, the author of the study, state that "All of those are statistically indistinguishable except for male doctor–female patient", when it's obvious to the naked eye that there are other difference? I guess one difference made it over the arbitrary threshold of significance, and others didn't. That's just the nature of SHIT (Statistical Hypothesis Inference Testing).
