and I don't think she's even saying we shouldn't ever fund the next collider. I think she's suggesting that maybe we should wait until at least:

- many interesting falsifiable theories emerge that are resolvable at the accessible energy scale.

- technology catches up to make the engineering of such a thing cheaper.

It's not a terrible idea to wait. An important part of why the LHC was more effective than the hole in texas is that chemists using NMRs and doctors using MRIs drove technical and production improvements that brought down the cost of superconducting magnets.

There is this narrative that theoretical physics drives investments in technical innovation that improves other scientists, but I'm not sure that narrative is entirely true. It's often the other way.
I cover the costs of domain / hosting with sponsored jobs @ https://www.phpjobs.app. If I get an actual sale for a featured job it covers a few months worth of hosting.

I haven't spent much time on it lately and there are a few things I need to fix but I have been too busy.

While I am not in the black with the project (even if I consider my time as free) it still helps be think about other streams of income that maybe aren't passive but can be tied into my hobbies so will feel much less like work.
> Actions happen due to some interest group getting their way.

This is such a big reason. We no longer identify under a single identity. In America, that would be identifying as an American. In Europe, people still don't really identify as being European before they identify as English, French, German, etc.

Between both America and Europe, we no longer identify with being Western.

The fact that we now increasingly identify with some subgroup, means many of us focus on improving the success of the subgroup with which we align. That means that growing your piece of the pie means growing the size of the pie of your subgroup over growing the size of the pie for the larger group (European, American, Western, etc.)

In China, on the other hand, the focus is on growing the size of the pie for China. It's going to be hard to compete with this unless we adopt the same mindset.

Investor visa cap depends on the locality you invest in. It can be done for $4k, and if it’s your own company you invest in, it’s not really an expense.

Education visa is available for enrolling in a part-time VN language course, which if you want to live here is not a terrible idea anyway.

You do not need to leave the country to change visa type, nor did you need to before the pandemic. This kind of thing is why getting good advice is important.
I'll always remember growing up when we moved from a big house (2000 sq ft) to a little apartment (700 sq ft). My parents didn't lose their jobs, maybe a few expensive things hit but really there was no obvious reason to an outsider. We could have stayed in the big house and gotten by.

But our family wasn't in great financial shape. Small expenses became debts, parents always fighting or stressed about money, just general family stress. Classic stretched middle class family, perhaps a bit more than others.

But we moved anyway, and it was great. Stress went down, and as each of us turned 16 my parents bought us (cheap) cars and we started working.

Sharing rooms was annoying but really didn't impact us much. Lower stress was great, and a little pressure to get jobs got all of us a head start on working and paying for stuff (gas, insurance, fast food, cell phones, outings with friends) during high school.

We are all successful and happy today. But I bet a lot of people thought we were losers when we left the big house. And if we had waited until we HAD to leave the big house, we would be losers.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

for instance one smart and experienced guy I knew said if there was an error, your program should just fail instead of giving a ton of messages and recovering.

and if you're just throwing code together, that might be what you do.

on the other end of the scale, a well written "second pass through everything with cleanup" might have tastefully written code, a few relevant comments and consistency.

and then I've seen a lot of code that appears to look like that, but is copy/paste garbage. (sort of the coding equivalent of a wordpress theme)
Ask HN: Research problems in the space of Automated cooking?
I am not talking about large scale automated machines which does one job pretty well such as flipping burgers. I envision a world where the robot completely takes over the kitchen and cooks customized recipes.

One of the area I can think of are object manipulation especially with deformed objects which is under active research.

I was wondering whether any ML experts here can throw some light into this.

This is quite an interesting paper in this space

Thank you. I was not aware of this. Also, last I heard transitioning from yarn v1 to v2 was not straightforward. Do you know if this is still the case?
Pretty much. What's curious is just how universally true it tends to be, though.

A personal hunch of mine is that it's also one of the implicit strengths of technical people starting companies. Software engineering teaches you to develop mental frameworks around systems and integrations and abstractions. And once someone with that experience walks a mile on the business side of the house, they're able to develop organizational structures that maximizes the organizational effectiveness as a whole rather than the local maximums within each group that are traditionally found.

Although that's not always what happens, it's an outcome that's unique to such circumstances.
Fancy cars seem like an inefficient flex. It's so easy to get a huge loan for a car that you'd end up doing enormous economic damage to yourself to get a car half as good as the broke guy whose only financial goal is to have a fancy car.

The argument would be:

Because copyright is temporary, it is a legal protection allows one to exploit a their work. But when the protection expires works should be accessible for the public good.

If the public cannot access a work after copyright expires (because of DRM) then then the company will never contribute to the community-good in return for the protection they receive.

Why do companies have to train you? Is this law or God's mandate? Is there even evidence that providing some safety net for your employee somehow creates a better employee and/or company?

Ultimately this is about controlling others vs. not wanting others to control you. IMHO people need to fail in order to learn properly, and safety nets remove this risk which in turn also removes the learning, effectively preventing those who would otherwise be successful. We think we are helping workers by forcing them into some contract that is supposedly beneficial, but really people are the ones making those choices. Safety nets and forcing companies will just reinforce the bad decisions some people make and will affect the whole industry in the long run because quality will go down and prices up.

>Democratic nations banding together or building new supply chains are pipe dreams.

New supply chains are in fact underway, even before Trump's horseshit. There was a inkling of migrating manufacturing to India and its only been accelerated further.
> Generally speaking developing a new [HUGE PROJECT] leads to excellent technical advances at all levels of the stack.

It's true for accelerators and a huge number of other things too. If this isn't unique to accelerators, it's not really a case for accelerators specifically.

> Isn’t it nice that a fraction of the smartest people on the world are not working on getting you to click Ads and are using machine learning to advance our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature?

This isn't a good faith argument. What if we got our smartest people working in hospitals or schools or orphanages instead of getting you to click ads? Maybe that's where the money should go. Think of the children.
Depressing that this happened. People have too much confidence that their opinions are right. I have too much shame to ever impose any opinion on another person. I'm assuming there's a lot of money or power at play, otherwise the level of hubris needed for this to happen is embarrassing.
I would like to see some analysis of what a nuclearized Japan, or Australia, would do. China has emerged as the single greatest threat to democracy, human rights, prosperity, and peace around the world. They can only do this because a foreign investment. If companies like Apple etc. did not make their products in China, Then perhaps I could see a future of China rising peacefully. Otherwise they are a grave in mortal threat to the world
I enjoyed reading that, thanks. It did, however, reinforced my impression that these frameworks are trying to solve a problem I don't have.

>But at the time, writing OOP, or even well moduled code in javascript was extremely difficult to do

JavaScript is still the same, you still can and pollute the global window object, use global variables, etc.

It seems these frameworks are mostly about enforcing a code style, best practices when dealing with large teams with very different experience levels.
Since I work mostly alone and clients don't care what tech stack I choose, I guess I'm in luck.
amdctl[1] might be useful to look at to learn a little here, as it meddles with these things.

the CPU has different ACPI P-States, different power level modes that the governor will switch between.

but each of those states has an assigned voltage to it. you can tell a governor to keep using lower power states, but those states may still be supplying more voltage/power than the CPU requires to run.

under-volting is about adjusting the power level for a given state. there's a very broad ranging article on AMD Zen architecture[1] that i love, from Matt Dillon, creator of DragonflyBSD, and it talks some to undervolting & how it can be useful for their big build-servers & others. [edit: wait no, wrong link: it was THIS other huge thread from Dillon[3] that included low power musings, but still no explicit undervolting, just setting the thermal limit lower].

China is huge and powerful and still growing rapidly. It's nominal GDP is $15tn, compared to $20tn for the USA. However it's GDP per capita is 1/6th that of the USA because it has 4x the population.

Of course the west, or the developed democracies are much more than just the USA. Also while China is catching up in many areas, it is far behind in many of the ones that really count. China's military infrastructure and military technology is far, far behind. They have been struggling for almost a decade to get even one refurbished Russian aircraft carrier operational. Their space launch and satellite technology is decades behind, as is their silicon chip tech.

China is almost caught up to the USA by itself in raw industrial and economic power, they're close to parity, but this is just muscle. On the technology front they are still copying the basic stuff. It will take them another generation to catch up to the west in the ability to innovate in new technologies. They will do it though. It's just a matter of time. Then they will be a match for the west as a whole, not just the USA.

1. Your rankings are actually what helps prevent other users from stumbling upon these same songs. The lower the ranking the less likely to appear for other users.

2. For the yay or nay, the lack of clear explanation is definitely my fault as it is a newer feature. The idea is that how much you listen to the song vs skip determines the ranking of the song. This mode intends to be lower touch for more relaxed listening

3. Would you mind elaborating on the ranking publish idea. I am always looking for new ideas to promote it, but am not sure I understand this idea.

Which will be further and further ironic as the 1% will eventually become the 0.1%

This.

As a creative person (UX designer, cartoonist, painter), I have experienced this throughout my life, especially in drawing. As a kid I drew constantly, in school, at home, everywhere. All through my life I drew and drew. If quantity was all it took, I would be a master. But I am not. I still can't draw bodies and poses and Im not consistent at all.

Quantity gets you to learn quickly to a point where you platou. I've seen this in my painting, games, and even work.

You need to pause and start thinking about what you are doing, what each part means, how it works together, coming up with what you are doing wrong, what is right, and practice that. You still need to put in more work but its a dance of pause, think, do, repeat.

Nadella understands something most CEOs don't: The core business of any business is making money. Ballmer thought Microsoft's core business was Windows, Nadella understands it's software as a whole. Ballmer thought for MS to win, Linux had to lose. Nadella understands as long as MS is selling software and services, they win. Ballmer was a great number-two for Gates, but not a leader. Not everyone has it, and that's ok.

Being willing to be in a low status role that either grants you an opportunity to learn quickly or an opportunity to solve hard problems is a super power in my opinion.

Nikola Tesla is one of the greatest inventors in recent memories and he had this gift. His first job under Edison in America had a not so glamorous title. I actually wrote about it in https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/take-the-role-and-pr...

On the flip side, being comfortable staying in a low status role over a long period of time where the role does not provide opportunities for learning and doing hard things might be a sign of lack of ambition.

I believe Google should be taking steps to prevent the developers of Chrome extensions from selling their extensions to shady third parties, or requiring any transfer of ownership to be registered and users notified before the new owner can start uploading new versions. A good starting point would be investigating incidents like this, and suing the developer who sold their extension.
It’s interesting that his analysis of war elephants has a lot of parallels to his thoughts about chemical weapons. In the hands of a sufficiently advanced military, both are an expensive, complicated solution in search of a problem, and both are easily neutralized by a peer competitor.

What an absolute legend, and what a game to do it with. Many a game did I play in my youth in the wee hours of the morning when most of the world was asleep. And I was RUBBISH, all the gear and no idea. This guy shames me into making more effort with my life.
Yeah, to me there's a natural progression in understanding of system design.

When you start out, you just write code and don't think about how things interact with each other too much.

Then you learn that you're rewriting a lot of code, you overcompensate and start to over-engineer to avoid duplication and often to handle more scenarios than you need. You abstract out possibly too much.

Finally, you get to a phase where you realize a lot of abstractions that you've created aren't actually used and you're writing more "meta code" than you need. In this phase you learn to engineer just enough for what you need at the time and design things to be easily changed in the future. You trust that even if you're system design can't handle everything right now, you've designed options for yourself to expand as needed.
> There could be space crap in between. - Of course I just realized something obvious. Along our PotE lies most of our solar system debris. Shouldn't that be obstructing alien views?

Space crap is a lot less dense than you might think. Generally speaking, flying through the asteroid belt edge on looks like... well, just flying through space.

Turn it around: the space crap doesn't really prevent us from getting good views of Jupiter, Saturn, etc. Right? And it wouldn't prevent us from seeing Mars or Venus if they were outside of the belt either.

The total mass of the asteroid belt is estimated at something like 5% of the Moon's, and a third of it is accounted for by Ceres alone. It's spread pretty darn thin.

The Kuiper belt is much more massive, but is spread out even more thinly. Same again for the Oort cloud, where the average spacing between comet-sized bodies is about the same as the distance from Earth to Saturn.

A favorite quote from a relevant reference work: “Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”
Are the different versions of solc really that different? I saw that was mentioned as a data cleaning difficulty and it has me wondering what the changes between solc revisions are like.
This is pretty much a done deal - just look at China's trajectory of growth since 2000s.

The only way this would not happen, is some severe world wide trade embargos, which seems unrealistic.

Or if China tries to go to war with Taiwan or something like that, which would result in trade embargos probably.
Are you arguing that PHP is the quickest way to get started in the case where you already know PHP but not any other language, i.e. writing a program in PHP compared to learning another language from scratch and then writing the same program in that language?

That's probably true. But if PHP is the only language you know, it might still be worthwhile to learn another one, when you have some time to spare.

And "most mature"? Other web frameworks are plenty mature. Django, Rails and Spring MVC are all roughly 15 years old.
Authoritarianism has been tried out around the globe in the 20th century multiple times, but each attempt failed. In fact, moth western nations were kingdoms at the start of the 20th century, and WW1 and WW2 turned most of them into republics.
That's a great lesson to learn at a time when you are impressionable. There's a lot of perspective to be gained from being at different levels of status, and seeing that life really isn't that different. IME, like a lot of life, there's a tension: you need to be willing and able to work hard (often without recognition), able to accept the rewards that may come from that work, but also able to not hold too tightly to those rewards.

I hope I can teach and model this lesson well for my son.
