A good Rust equivalent to Pandas is really the main thing keeping me from switching to Rust for about half of my day job. This is incredibly promising, and I am following your work with great interest. Thank you for working on this!
For starters, it would be nice to be able to make trivial manipulations of algebraic expressions involving real numbers not incredibly tedious. As far as I know no existing proof assistant is up to that challenge. Again, it's not a matter of power--many, many proof assistants can formalize the vast majority of mathematics--it's about UX.
On one hand we have this.

On the other hand we have genuine Bose replacement cushions that start to flake out not two years after very light use. Not aftermarket, but their own ridiculously expensive units bought directly from them. I have no explanation for this except for it being due to planned obsolescence practices. So they can publish as many reports (that tested a whooping 10 returned units!), but it doesn't undo the ill will created by their products falling apart on schedule. Caveat emptor and all that.
The mainstream media here in the UK have also been misleading people into thinking sites like Facebook are to blame for a measles vaccination crisis they themselves created. About two decades ago the entire British press repeated bogus claims by a certain Dr Wakefield that caused a massive dip in MMR vaccinations, and now that gap in vaccinations is in danger of creating a measles epidemic. Sites like the BBC blamed this on antivaxxer communities on Facebook, quoting childhood vaccination statistics out of context to make it sound like there'd been a massive dip recently when in reality the percentage of kids getting their MMR vaccines in the UK had hit an all-time record high in 2017 and barely dropped since.

Yes, it is. Unless you have an explanation of why not without getting into no true Scotsman territory.

Yep. For me, the hardcore/conspicuous materialism (i.e. "I only have a 100 things.) is largely for well-off people only, who can afford to outsource all their uncommon needs - the kind of needs which require tools and parts to sit idle for years, until the occasion arises when you need them. It's telling that poorer people tend to hoard things - you never know when you're going to need that piece of cooper wire etc.
I thought I hit the end of the article as scrolling came to an abrupt halt at the "The Birth of term fake news". Nope, there's scrolling resistance that you have to "break through" as it cycles like a powerpoint. Awful layout. Fake end of article
Yes, it is a barrage of trash, where they even support opposing viewpoints just to derail any normal conversation about a subject. You'll see one wave of accounts support the 'USA engineered this as a weapon' and another that 'China engineered this as a weapon', then using that fake controversy to rule out the middle ground or third option (that nobody engineered it) and instead try to polarize the discussion by only allowing either the one or the other viewpoint. Madness.

The internet grew up very fast, faster than we are able to cope with the degree to which it has been weaponized, and that of course in itself would be a nice conspiracy.

Of course, if I were a conspiracy nut I'd question your credentials, wonder why after 7 years on this site you haven't bothered to flesh out your profile or to state where you are from. Anonymity is part of the problem here. It is good because it allows for people to come forward with important information, but it is also bad because it allows operators to mask their location and identity which would be a strong indicator into whether or not they have some kind of agenda.

For instance, the site you linked to focuses exclusively on Russian disinformation but might be fine with Chinese or American disinformation, its ownership is not declared and is hidden behind all kinds of layers of obfuscation. For all you know it is the exact thing it pretends to fight against, just another arm of the disinformation machine.
I think we all agree on this, but we don't all agree that "just be disciplined" works in practice.

"Just don't write bugs", "just write perfect code", etc

Given that you and your team has all the discipline you need, you could still argue that type checking the codebase in your head is time consuming and is better spent on higher level concepts.

A typesystem can get in the way and slow down development if it's too strict of course, but I feel typescript does a good job of keeping it optional enough.

There is no clear answer here, but at least refactoring is much easier and safer given that your types are sound.
Amazing - thanks for the link. We've had a few people ask about sync now, so something we'll start researching soon.

> A bit of feedback, the API looks fairly verbose compared to Firebase

Thanks for this feedback. I do hope that it's just Next.js cluttering up. Here's a comparison without Next.js:

Realtime Firebase:

db
.collection("cities")
.doc("SF")
.onSnapshot(payload {
console.log("Current data: ", payload.data())
});

Realtime Supabase:

supabase
.from('cities')
.eq('id', 'SF')
.on('UPDATE', payload => {
console.log("Current data: ", payload)
})
.subscribe()

I'm no expert, but I believe it's indeed what they're already doing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_bacteria#...

But if I could make a guess I'd say that it in theory it might be relatively straightforward or easy to do but it's probably a lot harder in practice. That's often the case anyways.
I do actually happen to agree with your general position of needing to fight disinformation, but I don’t know through what effective means. The xkcd position is the old usenet “don’t feed the trolls” defence. When the trolls are nation-state actors, is ignoring them still the best we can do? Remembering that one objective of the trolls/psyops-trolls is to divert resources and attention from more important issues.
Not sure how flexible this one is, but it looks cheap enough for a small department to make their own sildenafil: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/363/6423/eaav2211.ful...

In Caro's monumental, unfinished biography of LBJ, he basically says that he found no evidence to link him to the assassination, having done decades of incredibly thorough research. But he also describes Johnson as:

- insanely ambitious, and obsessed with becoming President

- devastated at ending up VP, which basically ruled him out from the top job (barring JFK's death)

- insanely secretive (for example, he tracked down and destroyed almost all copies of his college yearbook, which merely showed him as being somewhat disliked/seen as dishonest)

Bearing all of which in mind, I'm partial to this particular conspiracy theory. Though I fully expect that if it's true we'll never know. Johnson was probably unmatched when it comes to pulling off something this audacious and eliminating all evidence.
Short answer: Yes

Long answer: No. It would be an incredibly complex undertaking.

I completely agree. That something is a linter, of which TypeScript is just one of the many options available. This whole idea of you cannot write a big app in JS is just peddled by those who do not understand, or hate JS. A good linter, proper programming practices, discipline will get you there. Anytime someone peddles a language or framework as a magic bullet to clean code, they're either selling you some snake oil or have drunk too much of some koolaid, imho.

I had an “electrosensitive” housemate at university - no phones allowed, and she’d go around unplugging everything, even taking the batteries out of wall clocks - and would microwave herself a meal twice daily, nose pressed to the glass of the door. She wouldn’t be told that the microwave was a much greater emitter of EM radiation than anything else around her - said the frequency was in tune with the human body, which was why it made such nutritious food, and was why she liked to be close to it while it ran for its “positive energy”.

"liquid chromatography, is frequently used. On a small scale this is fine, but when kilograms of material are required the process becomes unwieldy."

They accidentally whitelisted Chinese servers for non-Chinese users. What does that have to do with anything technical or scaling? It'd be a scaling mistake if the whitelists didn't exist because they thought Chinese servers would never be chosen because of the distance, but they already knew that could happen.
That's an incredibly bad argument. If they wrote the programs 40 years ago and still use them they had 40 years to fix the business process. You can't argue that something is broken because it's old and then argue that you didn't have enough time to fix the process.

Don't feed the trolls has been superceded by the trolls feeding themselves. So they no longer need you or me to feed them, they're more than happy to set up opposing sides so that they can keep their fake debate alive.

Ignoring them is probably no longer an option, but it would take more than just a small effort to put this down. To think that we haven't even dealt with spam effectively makes me super skeptical about whether or not this problem can be contained without simply cutting off entire countries from the net.

Even that might not be enough, enough of these troll fires have been started now that they will continue to burn long after the firestarters have moved on or pushed out. And that's before we get into Western political parties doing this sort of thing to each other. Fox News for instance is worse than anything 'Pravda' would have dared to come out with in the good old days, but there is this huge campaign going trying to equate it to the right side of the street's version of CNN, ditto with the attacks on the credibility of the BBC (which makes mistakes, but is not a dark side operator) and so on.

The one pattern that I have noticed is that when it comes to reporting the news about a particular country it is usually best to get your information from anywhere except the news organizations in the country itself and to filter out anything that has Murdoch's dirty little fingers near it.
ML is useful to design the reaction pathways to make these chemicals. If we find safer/better/cheaper ways to make medicines like Remdesivir with deep learning, and publish them, then chemists may have an easier time of it.

If Remdesivir data looks good this month, there will be a rush to produce it, and if there’s only one published way to do that, then the ingredients for that one approach will potentially be hard to find. Thus we can benefit from different approaches which start from different raw materials.

Lots of cool Arxiv papers on this and Graph Neural Nets, Soft actor-critic, or Transformers can be interesting approaches. The transport theory seems like a good way to make a value function. How much time and money does it take to produce a given chemical by a given set of reactions? That’s a gajillion dollar question.

I spent way too much time last year looking at permutation-invariant distance metrics similar to Fused Gromov Wasserstein to invent an Atom Mover Distance, please let me know if you figure that out! DeepChem library is a solid framework, as are Tensorflow and Pytorch...

If anyone’s looking for a way to contribute to the COVID-19 response, open source data/algorithms to design synthesis pathways can be a strong approach. Everyone loves to use Deep Learning to design drugs, but it is valuable to design ways to make drugs, too!

Also, the US unemployment numbers are highly-politicized and manipulated. For one, they fail to account for the labor force participation rate, livable wages, employment hours desired vs. actual, having to work multiple jobs while being unable to save, or not/having healthcare.

"Pure functions" is usually a bad idea with large numeric data structures if they are non-lazy - because you'll end up copying the data.

One of the common pure alternatives is to make them lazy - i.e., all those pure methods don't do anything but rather just collect the information on what to do with your data. But then you need to write an execution engine for arbitrary computation graph, which ain't easy.

A better method would be to have reservation only items, or even just a sign up sheet and distribution. As the concept of people following hot tips and traveling to en mass to various locations around the city will almost certainly exacerbate the spread. If the majority of people are good enough to use the system for it's intended purpose, then they can maybe also just not hoard items others may need.
Missed opportunity, I never thought of asking her if she had a microwave oven. Apparently their whole apartment had been covered in copper mesh, but they still had a regular electrical system and were looking at the kitchen appliances as well so I assumed they wanted to keep those.
"I assume there are formulas to determine how substrates and reagents will react with each other?"

There are rules, yes, of cause. But always the question: how much will react?
And not: will I get the (reaction) product? But: how many (different) reaction products will I get.
This is actually the reason why you need the purification steps after each reaction.
Otherwise you would get an "reaction tree", in the end, byproducts reacting with other byproducts and you would get a, basically infinite amount of different end products.
Note that the reference week in this month’s job report only went through March 12th. That was before the back to back record weeks of first time unemployment claims of 3mm and 6mm. Despite all that, the job report was still significantly worse than predicted (701k losses vs consensus of 100k losses).

Yes, this back of the envelope calculation may be a worst case, but the situation is far worse than a 4.4% unemployment rate. Look for revisions to make this even worse.

I can confirm this. Looks like an ingredient of the plastic/fake leather part is deteriorating pretty much exactly at the 2 years mark.

This is too funny -- pompous BBC with their "other people spread fake news" shtick.

All media outlets are guilty of bending the truth, often outright inventing stories to fit their preferred narratives. This is not "new", this has just been pearl-clutching since they've realised they no longer can control the narrative in society. Go look up how the majority of western media outlets were pushing "just the flu" about coronavirus as late as early March. (This is BOTH on the left and right, nobody is innocent in this).

*Edit -- look, I don't take the downvotes personally, I get that this is a huge cognitive short-circuit for many folks who read this site -- a large part of your learning comes from reading and understanding from so-called authoritative sources. It is certainly very difficult to realise (in the most unpleasant way possible, ie your candidate lost an election, or your countrymen successfully voted against the EU, or that masks-dont-work-oh-wait-they-actually-do) that the sources you've learned some positive things in your life from have biases, are fallible, and with the rise of "measuring engagement", are all in huge race to the bottom for immense pandering and therefore carefully crafted narratives.

I am chemical engineer and in my studies there was no programming and algorithm training at all (we did tiny bit of Scilab to solve some systems of equations but that’s all!).

Chemists in general (beyond theoretical and some open-minded exeptions) don’t program and don’t want to program. Synthetic/organic chemist still perceive synthesis as form of “art” ;) Therefore it would require huge shift in the mentality.

It is going to happen but not easily and and later than it could for social reasons :(
