The case for textbooks is much weaker than papers as, although it's basically implied that most won't make any money, it's an almost herculean task to write a good textbook (of 1k pages let's say).

I steal all my papers (I am a member of the tyre society - ladies queue up please... - because it's so obscure I can't find them on Sci-Hub) but I don't mind paying for textbooks on principle.
I hope you have phones worth of $14k in your pocket in case you break one. I always keep my Tesla's "CC key" with me as a backup for the phone. Also, the phone is horrible key when you have stuff in the hands or using gloves in the winter.

There was a recent HN post about the Indian government considering buying a bulk subscription to scientific journals: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25621809

Just my own 2c, part of what makes this whole thing so frustrating & confounding is that it's hard to tell how valuable a paper is going to be to you until you've read it. Reading abstracts gives some idea, but there's plenty of papers that end up being not that interesting. Given the extreme price these journals charge for individual access, the it becomes extremely hard to survey & locate & subsequently purchase relevant research.

The usual thing the military worries about is a "kill switch" (a very unlikely sequence of bits) which disables the hardware completely. The idea is that at the beginning of a war, the kill signal is broadcast by the enemy by every means possible which brings all your electronics to a halt.

This can be hidden in an FPGA - for example attached to the input pins or SERDES - without needing to know anything about the application.

Looks interesting. I had spent a while playing around with LilyPond (http://lilypond.org/), and I think something like Handel would solve issues with some of the more repetitive parts of using LilyPond.

One thing that would be helpful that I didn't see would be able to write transformations of chunks. For a few examples: (1) taking a chunk and replaying it in a different scale (or with a different starting note), (2) having the end of a chunk resolve to the tonic up an octave, (3) inverting or chunking chords following common patterns.

It would also be great if instead of just outputting midi, it could also output either to engraved music, or to some other format (e.g., LilyPond) that someone could then use to create a PDF.

Production capacity. The equipment to make the effective vaccines in high enough quantity simply doesn't exist yet. The easier to produce vaccines are either less effective (AstraZeneca) or haven't finished demonstrating how effective they are (Johnson & Johnson, CanSino, Gamelya, Sinovac, SinoPharm, and Novavax are still in trials). The risk with a less effective vaccine is that the virus could evolve resistance to whatever particular antibody types the vaccine tends to cause the body to produce, since there would be more vaccinated people who could get infected. Then we'd be back to square 1, trying to develop a new vaccine for the new variant. We REALLY want to avoid that.

I feel like I rarely see anyone taking a reasonable approach to caffeine or coffee. Everyone is chugging down a half dozen massive mugs of it every day or quitting cold turkey.

I drink one (1) cup of coffee pretty much every weekday and I tend to buy Arabica beans which have about half of the caffeine content of Robusta and I feel like I don't have any of the issues people talk about here. I don't get withdrawal symptoms on the weekends or much of a crash in the afternoon.

There is a sense in which that is a great idea, and a sense in which it is a not so great idea. If AlphaProof could prove theorems as superhumanly as AlphaGo wins at Go, that would really be something, they might be able to claim all of the millennium prizes. However, the longterm usefulness to mathematics may be somewhat limited. Mathematicians are interested in proofs not so much because of the statements, but because of what those proofs add to our knowledge of the way math fits together. It isn't just about "true" or "false," it's about why. If AlphaProof generated a long and unreadable proof with no discernible structure, it would not be such a large contribution to mathematics as if a human figured out "why" and wrote it in a way other humans could understand.

Of course, it is possible that clever users could tease useful information out of the black box truth oracle. Perhaps by modifying the statement of the conjecture and checking each modification, they could discover some parts of the structure of the problem, which would help inspire a useful proof. Furthermore, it would be helpful to never again waste time trying to prove a false conjecture.
The Local Maxima Trap
As stated on that page, motor gasoline was 45% of US petroleum consumption, so 23% of that 68% wouldn't be touched by electric cars. There's also a relatively small amount that ends up in small engines[1], but I'm willing to write that off as a rounding error.

[1] Side note: I'm impressed by the explosion of high-quality electric replacements for small gasoline engines over the past few years. All my power yard tools are electric; the only gasoline engines we own our the car and the generator.

What do you suggest to use instead of GitHub?
Why not use a sidechain instead? They can compress transactions at least as effective, and have more simple security properties.

The main drawback with sidechains are that they are hard to run decentralized in any credible sense. Basically just as hard as the blockchain in the first layer sense. They seem to be identical in this regard.

>In fact, voltage divided by current is resistance, BY DEFINITION.

For a linear resistor sure, but otherwise resistance is better defined as the slope.

And well if you don't like that definition of memristance I suggest you update the corresponding wikipedia article.

> Hey, you can also take a bunch of resistors, wire them in a loop and proclaim you have successfully emulated inductor with just resistors. That is what you get if you decide to set aside rules.

A circle of resistors has 0 inductance by definition. In practice it's pretty tricky to build such a circuit using 0 inductance wire in an impermeable environment so it remains an approximation.

As a [Senior] Machine Learning Engineer, you will

- develop SotA models for information extraction

- analyze and pre-process clinical data

- continue development of our existing products alongside us

If your skills overlap with at least three of the following subjects, do not hesitate to get in touch!

- Text classification

- Entity recognition

- Entity linking

- Question answering

- Knowledge base population

We use a very up to date tech-stack and write our backend code mainly in Python.

Can you guys please make Ctrl-S save and not exit editing? My muscle memory is costing me 10+ seconds of load times every time I type a paragraph and reflexively save, getting dumped back to the view mode of a document. The slow load times exacerbate the problem tremendously. I honestly don't know a single product that treats Ctrl/Cmd-S as "Save and Exit" so this is just a baffling UI/UX design decision.
Does it change meaningfully under load? As long as the API p50 / p95 latencies are what you expect, the HTML generation / rendering is rarely a problem.
The other problem is that the worst offenders are the ones least likely to respond to getting or seeing this sort of nudge, so there is some adverse selection going on.

It's probably self correcting over the long term, but meanwhile we lose the sort of links that would (or rather, might) enrich the conversation through overcorrection by posters.

It's the obverse side of the slippery slope, I guess.

You might get a less biased response from someone else, and I don't have much experience with JMeter, but:

- k6 prioritizes modern developer experience. Tests are written in JavaScript, run from the CLI and can be committed to the same repository along with unit and integration tests. As such it blurs the line between responsibilities of a traditional QA team and pushes for load/performance/stress testing to be done by application developers themselves. This enables developers to easily integrate k6 in their existing CI pipelines and run load tests early on in the development cycle rather than as an afterthought.

- k6 is written in Go, so it's much easier to deploy and use as a static binary, which also brings considerable performance benefits over JMeter. You can see a detailed breakdown and comparison in this article[1], written by another commenter here and one of the original k6 authors: rlonn. :)

OTOH JMeter is a much more mature tool and has many more integrations and protocol support than k6. We recently launched an extension system for k6[2] that allows developers to add support for other protocols or features via native Go libraries, but the ecosystem is still in its infancy. So if you don't mind the JMeter UX, its performance or need some of its features, by all means stick with JMeter. But I would encourage you to give k6 a try for yourself, as it was written precisely out of the same frustrations mentioned in the article.

> Spinning up your own git server is not a huge effort though even for a startup.

At a previous job we self hosted Git and it worked fairly well. At my current job we use GitHub and while we could migrate away, it would hurt.

Personally, I think GitHub's value is more about the fact that it integrates so well with so many other services. Without GitHub we would lose:

- Most of our PR/ Code Review flow

- Integration with Pivotal (our ticketing/ story system)

- Integration with our Travis server for CI

- Integration with our hosting service for automated deployment.

All of this stuff can be done independent of GitHub, but most of it takes a lot of time and effort you could be spent delivering the product you are trying to ship. You also lose a lot of flexibility.

This is why I am frustrated by the FDA. It seems like all they are willing to do is read statistics produced by others.

The suggested dosing is obviously unproven because it has not had a nice large scale study done. Shouldn't this be where they conduct a few rapid small scale experiments?

That data, the existing trials, along with a deep bench of knowledge should be enough to make a well justified determination.

>Am I being too naive here?

I don't think so, but I think the trick will be how to score a new mathematical relationship as "interesting". Basically, a fitness metric. With Chess, you have the obvious win/loss metric, and also number of turns and possibly time. With math, how do you quantify the level of interestingness between 2+2=4 and p=np?

This isn't a snarky question, by the way. I'm genuinely interested in how this might be done.

I "manage" about 175+ WordPress websites. Gutenberg came too late, so many clients were already using "visual builders" and therefore couldn't easily switch to Gutenberg. On every single other site that wasn't using a visual builder plugin, we disabled Gutenberg as initially it caused issues with the existing themes and plugins (CSS/JS conflicts etc.)

Time has passed, and it's now better but with so many WordPress sites "in the wild" it will take a lot of time for the majority to switch over.

The bigger issues recently are the changes within the WP core to how jQuery is handled (currently being phased in over 3 releases https://make.wordpress.org/support/2020/12/handling-potentia...).

The WordPress ecosystem is robust, wild and messy and it should stay that way IMHO.

I've been working on a b2b SaaS side project in the computerized maintenance management space for the past ~4 years ( https://salientforms.com ). Revenue is great for a side project, however I'd like to build the feature set out to appeal to more clients, and generally do business development.

My background is compsci/software/hardware engineering, as well as the practical and physical side of how this sort of product works (urban systems, transportation, construction, maintenance). I'm looking for biz dev, growth, and interesting product ideas. My ideal co-founder would be someone who's worked in or has connections to the world of transportation, is motivated to find clients and grow a business, and is reasonably good at hacking and coming up with prototype ideas.

I'm in Toronto. Location doesn't really matter, but the product has a slight skew toward winter right now so a Canadian who knows would be ideal. Reach out via the site link above or via github.

Agree. It’s a little less or more than a tsp of matcha per day for me. There are days I’ll step down to none or other days I’ll throw in a full cup of coffee. Caffeine is simultaneously too detrimental to take every day in large doses but too beneficial to ban completely. It deserves respect and appreciation even.
>They really really need to make all such things async and simply show the context menus without the extensions

but then you have another problem: if the system load is high (eg. hard drive is busy), then context menu items would randomly disappear. That's arguably worse than before, because it happens randomly.
