Dude computer science is the one field to rule them all
It is more related to the needed strength of the magnets to keep the particles on track and also the synchrotron radiation.
The first issue is that the lower the radius of the circle, the stronger magnetic field is needed because of the increased centrifugal forces.
The second issue is that synchrotron radiation leads to loss of energy. It is again proportional to the acceleration perpendicular to the vector of the velocity of the particle [0].

> already existing/standardized ARM vector extensions.

Yeah, a standardized ISA extension, but I'd bet Fujitsu spent a ton of time on the implementation details. They have a deep history of making high performance vector processors going back to the 80s, and high performance SPARC cores parallel to that. They may not be huge volume, but they know how to make a fast processor.

Neither the author nor the publication seem credible sources for information on this topic. The author is a Physics professor who was fired for giving all of his students A+ in a course after coming under fire for putting a course description in the catalog to get students to enroll, and then teaching something completely different in the course. (They called it academic squatting)
The only reason it can't is that the Lichess Boards API makes you authenticate as a user and doesn't give you access to a game that you're not playing, which is a shame. I think the reason is to prevent people from surreptitiously setting up a separate program that will anonymously observe their game, run it through Stockfish, and tell them what to play.

If the player you want to spectate will set you up an API key, then yes it can do that.
D'oh, you're right, I got sidetracked reading the Sci Am article he linked and then probably forgot to go back and read the rest of his thing after skimming. But to me, that makes his argument weaker. Either he was naive about this obvious and ostensibly grave risk to his patients, which seems at a minimum reckless. Or he assessed the risk and considered it acceptable, which seems both more charitable and plausible.

As to the name, I don't think we really need a convoluted hypothetical - it's not his first brush with exposure and people have found his full name before. He was lightly pseudonymous and aware of it.

Look cool, but I was envisioning a more general approach I suppose, not limited to a single specific language/tool. Flutter still outputs a x.js which is interpreted by V8 and runs within the Chrome sandbox, what I meant was more along the line of a supercharged browser able to run e.g. the JRE allowing to run any random java program out there, but then accessed over an URL and requiring no manual "installation"/copying/extracting files or interpreter setup. Same for e.g. a native Dart app. So you would be able to run any native application (given it's built for your platform obviously) within this kind of browser, you could run chrome in it and access the web like usual I suppose?

So I guess just hassle-free native apps with a focus on client/server architecture like websites, running gimp/paint doesn't seem like a good fit for something like this :')

The particles that go around radiate their energy away, which is a function of the radius of the circle. It is called synchrotron radiation and is the main limitation factor of these kind of accelerators.

No, I don't think harassment in any form is acceptable.

I do think the case of Hsu is worth using as an example here: an intra-university conflict; a group of grad students is petitioning for a professor that they believe is actively harmful to the institution to step down as director of research. Now, I don't think it really matters what you or I think about any of this--whether or not we agree with the students or the prof is immaterial. This is an issue for the university, the students at the university, the professor, and any professional relations the professor has within his field of academia.

If I'm a student at the school, and I'm pro-grad student faction, I'd probably be rightly annoyed and mighty curious at a pseudonymous blogger so fervently involving himself. Why the pseudonym? Why the support? It would behoove me to look into this person, seeing as, from my perspective, he is signal boosting an erroneous cause via his immensely popular website.

If I'm a professor at the school, and I'm pro-prof faction, I'd probably be rightly bewildered and mighty curious at a pseudonymous blogger so fervently involving himself. Why the pseudonym? Why the support? It would behoove me to look into this person, seeing as, from my perspective, he is signal boosting, albeit for a good cause, via his immensely popular website, with no apparent reason to do so, seeing as how he doesn't seem to be a geneticist or faculty. It would definitely give me pause, to say the least.

I can think of things even in my personal life or business where, if an outsider were involving himself trying to "signal boost" a resolution (even if in my favor), I think I'd very rightly want to know the motivations and identity of said person.

The above examples don't illustrate that he should be identified, rather, that he's presenting people with a compelling reason to want him identified. I don't think he should be ID'd, but if a campus paper wrote an OP-ed about it, I'd have a hard time faulting them.

I don't think anyone should harass anyone else, which I think is somewhat what Scott has been doing (perhaps for a righteous cause) with this affair (as, by nature, signal boosting pro-prof draws some fire upon the grad student faction in question), so his response here rings a little bit hollow to me. But, to be crystal clear, even if I think Scott is using his platform to ever so slightly browbeat institutions via his followers (in the most mild sense & with the best of intentions), I still think the NYT is very much clearly in the wrong.
It is great to try! Submit my application and queue up.
Doctors are heavily regulated. Journalists aren't.

I'd expect a doctor that failed to maintain professional standards to be struck off, and I'd expect the professional management services to proactively get them struck off before they could do anything dangerous.

Professional journalism has a long, long track record of opposing any consequences to their actions whatsoever.

I love the idea of professional journalists. But the reality of them just does not work in practice in our current media industries.
Yeah, always my favourite to read. I really do like a lot of journalism, I just thought the comment I replied to was unfair.

A propos of nothing, here is the story of a photojournalist I just came across. Took many photos of the cultural revolution and hid them for decades: https://twitter.com/tony_zy/status/1275267759216222209
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all of those system only work inside of a single process. Legion/Regent support distributed multi-node multi-process execution both on supercomputers and in the cloud.
That's because the second you plug an external monitor in (at all) it switches off the iGPU and spins up the dGPU on the old 15" and new 16" ... what you're feeling is the dGPU pumping out heat.
"In short, I will show a "This site requires Javascript enabled" message 100% of the time if my site requires Javascript."

That's why we users need replacement/plugin alternative JavaScript engines that will allow users to tweak settings and to send feedback/info back to the website that the user thinks that the site should receive. You or the site can then remain blissfully unaware that what you are receiving from the user's machine is cleverly-framed (disguised) garbage.

Sooner or later we'll have a plethora of such engines and then the tide will have turned.
First and foremost, I hope that the journalist gets revealed and fired. NYT is a reputable journal and shouldn't tolerate such unprofessional and potentially dangerous behavior. The person breached a few lines of ethical journalism, and for no justified reason:

First, purposefully using an incorrect name (and Scott Alexander's online identity is Scott Alexander). In many other cases, even if the name is known publicly, and it is (or was) a legal anme, a journalist does not need to write it.

Second, for everyone having vocal opinions, it puts them in real danger. If revealing someone's identity (or a threat of such) makes someone close their blog, the journalist have already made their damage.

Third, it erodes trust in journalists. Such journalists make any other journalism harder, as people have justified reasons not to talk. Not every person wants to increase their risk.

I hope that until the journalist gets fired, no activist, whistleblower, a person who wants to speak about professional malpractice, controversial artist etc. won't talk to NYT. For their own safety.
That still doesn't change the very obviously biased framing of the information. You can objectively describe one as more important, or more justified if you will, but manipulating the reader by speaking to his subconciousness like they did is not what should be expected from serious journalism.

Particularly since viral load matters wrt severity of infection for COVID-19.

Do you want to get shot with 100 count bird shot or 70 count with a shorter effective distance? An individual pellet probably won't do much harm, but multiple pellets damaging the same organ will cause non-linear increases in damage and severity of outcome.

Quality investigative reporting is even more tricky because it's even harder to double-check

In my country, there's a supposedly quality investigative reporting outlet. I did trust them for years. Then one time they did report on something I happened to know more details from other sources. Their reporting was complete BS bending facts to come to opposite conclusions.

Months later it turned out that political party loved favoured by those journalists had an internal struggle and the dude in article above happened to be on the "wrong" side. The report was about his overseas business, not political affairs. As a bonus point, "good" side was involved in bribery scandal.

Another investigative outlet recently published a series of reports on another politician that comes from unfavourable party in among mainstream media journalists. So far all of those reports seem to have little substance and they seem to be in she-said, he-said gray area at best. I'm pretty sure the dude do have skeletons under his bed. But investigative journalists seem to just post whatever rumors they got and see what sticks. Which is not exactly helping their quality investigative reporting image.
An interesting model, I wonder if there is anything comparable in Britain or America? Private Eye, maybe?

I think you misunderstood. The NYT could use it to silence support for Scott Alexander because anyone saying "no, he's a reasonable person that writes about the beliefs of people without holding it themselves" will hang next to him as somebody that is supporting Scott Alexander "who many say is prominent alt-right figure and who has lead a hate campaign against feminists on his blog".
Would it be worthwhile to create an index where people that are experts in something could vouch for the journalists that seem to know what they're talking about?

E.g. I can verify that on the information security topic Joseph Cox from Motherboard is constantly on topic, but that information is useless to me personally, because by the time Vice publishes something it's already old news for people in the industry (or anyone following infosec twitter really). But that information could be useful for someone else and in return I would like to know which journalists actually know a thing or two about say ML/AI or astrophysics.
> I'm not sure why, as it has about 1/9th the population density of an India.

I’m not sure why either, but I’d definitely like to maintain or even decrease that population density. I’m not sure why people focus on increasing population density as a good thing. It’s not like we have some sort of shortage of people.
Apple's Widgetkit and App Clips Announced at WWDC 2020
If it was that easy then everyone would do it. I call this the curse of the single number. There is this complicated machinery with lots of parts with different shapes, some are bigger some are smaller. However, the customer is not aware of the complexity and only sees a single number like 5W and maybe another number that showcases the performance score of the chip. Surely, since that is the only information we have about power consumption and performance it must be true in all situations. The reality is that those two numbers were measured during different situations and combining them into a meaningful calculation might actually not be possible.

For example. Geekbench measures peak performance of all cores at the same time and the power draw may go above 5W.

The 5W TDP may refer to normal day to day use where one or two cores are active at the same time for the duration of the user interaction (play a game for 5 min or something) and once the user stops using the phone it will quickly go back to a lower TDP.
I'm surprised it got through. $23B is a lot of money, and it will cost A LOT more when you start adding up the operational costs. In comparison, the space shuttle was $1.5B per launch "amortized" over 135 launches.

One of the effects of the Space Shuttle is that it hogged the budget of NASA (around 30%). Really worthwhile exploration and other space science programs got less funding because the Shuttle program was so big in cost.

Is the FCC going to do the same for Physics? There's an opportunity cost here that isn't getting addressed.

I don't think so, but I've been listening to them for years. They criticize all sides, but one needs to listen to a few episodes to get into it, because they do have their own style of inside-jokes/jargon that might make first-time listener feel a bit lost, but that's the case with most indie/alternative media I think.

A few german cities could reduce the number of new infections to 0 early in the pandemic after making masks (including community masks) mandatory. The university town Jena in particular was frequently cited for its pro-mask campaign. I thought they had written a paper about their results, with statistically corrected comparisons to cities of similar size; but can’t find it. Those studies indicating that masks might not work were known in the public and political discourse at that time (e.g. they were discussed in the coronavirus update podcast). The city governments went for the policy anyway.

Japan and South Korea are also still doing much better than nations where masks are not commonly seen...
Interesting article, but I expected it to deal with preserving information like file source, location, and metadata, which is IMO still an unsolved problem in digital archival.

Specifically avoiding the use of multihash in favor of a new scheme doesn't sound very forward thinking, it's not so much more complex than the author thinks (to begin with, you can just abort for every prefix but the one you recognize).
Yes, let's not fall into anecdata trap and wait for quality data why should we blindly trust media.

> Citizenship

Is a legal construct, which can be granted to a natural person by law.

Legislation can be (relatively) easily changed. I don't think there's anything preventing legislators from granting citizenship to $PERSON for $REASON.

So I'd argue that it is something that can be given - it's just that there's reasons that it's not.
The particles are steered round the accelerator with magnetic fields from superconducting magnets.

Higher speeds (and thus energies) can be achieved by increasing the circular circuit radius by limiting the force that has to be applied and the energy loss in the acceleration (change of direction around the circle).

Men aren't pushed to extremes to achieve status. High achievers push themselves to extremes, where extremes are directly defined as places where other people don't push as hard.

I know we shouldn't confuse is with ought, but men in particular are very competitive in their youth, and whatever you think you can do to replace the status game will itself become a status game. Cultural wars to redefine status games are especially susceptible to becoming the new status game, because there's so much at stake; completely redefining the meaning of success, and unbalancing all the previously successful people.
Public editors have been for some years really just doing the same job as community managers in games companies. They're there as ablative armour for public criticism to hide people doing bad things and do not facilitate any change or improvement.

That's a really toxic model. Such editors/managers inevitably get toxic levels of abuse from a frustrated public (and suffer bad burnout and terrible real life consequences), bad things keep happening regardless and overall trust by the public goes down.

It's not bad UX. Apple provides three other app installation options that don't create a new disk on your desktop. The fact the the developers don't want to use those 3 methods is not Apple's fault. Blame the developers for that.

My understanding is that the bulk of the US's arable land (i.e., the Midwest) won't be much affected by climate change. It might move sideways, but it won't turn into desert.

Conversely, Canada is not expected to be a great beneficiary of climate change (except for the Northwest Passage becoming passable), because most of what is not currently used isn't because of temperature, but because it is muskeg.
I use Scala, Typescript, R, some Go and some Swift daily and have been using typed languages for 20 years+ and would still recommend PHP to someone wanting to throw together a brochureware site for the best cost/hassle ratio.

Almost no one is solving FANG problems, and people literally throw their clients/businesses money away on poor value because they've lost focus on what's important: delivering a solution for what they need right now, not what you want to spend your time playing with.

Also what is the big deal with type safe templates when you're literally just abstracting building HTML strings?
Colleagues, sure. Patients, NO. Especially since this will harm even potential patients who would have had no problem with Scott. The problem isn't that patients will read SSC, decide that Scott isn't cool, and Scott loses business. It's that patients will read SSC, learn too much about how and what Scott thinks, and this will hinder Scott's ability to help these patients regardless of what said thoughts are. For instance, if Scott talks about hating PE class in high school (he very well might have, I don't know), that could stop patients from opening up to him about their passion which happens to be sports or something.

But, you say, surely that's not a problem for well-adjusted people! Guess what the hell a psychiatrist does.
It's more like media analysis I think. Both John and Adam take clips from main-stream/internet media and try to examine it. I think they do a very good job at that. There's a long donation segment because the show is produced by listeners. Sound effects and such started out as a joke but listeners like it, and almost everything around the show is done by the community, including the website, shownotes, and transcripts.
