You're galloping away from your own point here.

You said that the research shows that men are 'more naturally predisposed' towards the sciences. It doesn't show that.

The only thing in that article that addresses any kind of natural predisposition is the information on aptitude, and that doesn't show that men are more likely to do the job.

Everything else is firstly highly speculative, and secondly affected by a range of factors that the research doesn't explore. In fact, it actively suggests other factors - such as economic security - are likely to be involved. It would be difficult to find an article that was further from claiming a natural predisposition.

The research doesn't show any kind of predisposition, let alone a natural one. It notes a pattern - that may be reversing itself - that requires an awful lot more further research before using it to justify lazy stereotypes.
Not sure where are you looking but there are advances being made with every upgrade. On Ethereum as well as Bitcoin. With Ethereum in particular right now you have solutions like ZK and Optimistic rollups. We are taking concrete steps towards an eventual network of blockchains each talking to one another. These will both alleviate traffic and privacy concerns such as bots front running transactions on Uniswap.
It is not that way today but for a long time the entry-level Cisco IOS router was PowerPC based, while the highend was invariably MIPS. On the other hand both architectural choices had nothing to do with the architecture and everything to do with choice of usable SoCs for that particular application (with Motorola/Freescale/NXP's "m68k Cisco router/Sun2 on a chip" SoCs being somewhat ironic in this regard).
The entire opening of the article discussing 2020 papers erroneously using skin cancer data in breast cancer research papers which was a known error for at least 13 years - makes the point very strongly that " ... but these studies/experiments have shown that understanding to be incorrect. Now we believe this." happens much slower than perhaps people expect.

I understand science "is expected to be wrong" sometimes, but I'm still somewhat boggled that there's 13 years worth of (presumably) peer reviewed papers making claims about breast cancer using "wrong science" that was proven wrong in 2007...

(I wonder what _else_ all those peer reviewers let slide or didn't know when reviewing other papers?)
Yes. That lab they talked about only had the bat coronavirus. That doesn't normally infect humans so even if there was a leak, it would be traceable though analysis. This would be a different story if they also had the pangolin coronavirus there as well. But they didn't.
Good to know, but that’s probably moving the goal posts a bit. This looks like a private industry group set up to proactively influence adopted standards (ie: a lobby) and does so internationally.

At least in the US it’s fairly common for lobbies to offer prewritten codes in the hopes that the adopted codes are (at least pretty close) to the ones they want.

You could argue whether such a practices are how private industry and governmental regulations should interact, but it doesn’t seem like the term “international” is particularly problematic in the name. The “World Series” (of baseball) on the other hand...
> Predisposition is unambiguous and well-defined

I agree; it isn't just about what you want.
the poor have debt, inflation is good for them. (in fact the federal reserve target rate of inflation is good for everyone in a utilitarian sense (whereas deflation is horrible))
What if you think it's right and you think you can get away with it?
So a person who, motivated by naked greed, murders another in cold blood, you would be more sorry to see him go than a loyal and faithful family pet? Why?
It does. Citizens today are distracted purely by partisan fights. Citizens need to build a discipline to vote for congress people who do not sell us out.

Citizen's will not ever fix this until they pick non-sellout congress people over only caring about their partisan fights.

> Nobody has demonstrated L 4/5, so all positions are ideological ones.

Er, Waymo is doing a commercial L4 service. Cruise is doing pretty good. So no, they are not all "ideological positions". Also, no one except Tesla is targeting L5 which should tell you what the realistic goal is.

> You could also argue that because LIDAR is expensive, it's hard to get billions of miles of training from LIDAR-equipped vehicles.

LIDAR is expensive was a good argument in 2015. The prices are plummeting. Waymo reduced their top of line LIDAR cost from $75,000 to under $7500 and this was in 2017. They sell their short range LIDAR (Honeycomb) for under $1000. And their 5th gen hardware costs even less now (my guess is under $5000). Which way do you think the price will go as a number of companies mass produce it?

The fact is Elon made a bad bet a few years ago and didn't anticipate how much the cost would drop. Now Tesla is stuck with his ideological stance trying make a pipe dream work.
Except the author did no such thing. A corporate entity IP owner did. Those entities are subject to a myriad of whims, much the same as Nike or Apple.

It's laughably hypocritical in an era where pop culture is full of all kinds of 'offensive' material.

Go here, right now [1] to the Billboard Hot 100 and cruise down that list.

Over 50% of those songs are chock full of brutal misogyny, racism, sexism, violence, and all of the most vile and derelict behaviours we wold ever want to see in any person.

To think that EBay is 'banning' Dr. Seuss, but happily selling music that literally glorifies young men for murdering random people for looking at them the wrong way is a definite sign of social decline.

The author of this post is effectively correct.

The OP is correct to use Dr. Seuss as a point of concern eve if the owners of the IP have every right to stop publishing.

The scariest part of all this is that people think this is a good way to filter candidates. It shows you that the company is populated by stress tolerant, herd mentality thinkers. I see them as a cross between army grunts and high school nerds. Simple fast logic, drawn to rules and systems, prone to being swayed by appeals to authority. Low sensitivity nervous systems meaning high stress tolerance and low ability to perceive, synthesise and abstract. Working with these guys is like wearing a straight jacket anyway - avoid like the plague. Unless you happen to fit that model, in which case go right ahead, you do you, but please be aware that there are other kinds of human out there who can add value outside of the cookie cutter.

Assuming: at-cost hardware built into car, subscription fee covers both car and home. Buy a car? $99/mo gets great service around the car, including your home when home. Want that service at home when car is away? one time $499 for hardware. Stare at those numbers, then realize you can dump that lousy $25-100/mo service, making Starlink the obvious choice ... and suddenly geography isn’t a limiting factor.

Why Go is not good (2014)
The word itself isn't the problem, and in general I don't have an issue donating to organizations that also tackle the problem on a political level.

With climate change specifically, if I can't reasonably rule out the risk that the org will spend the money to tell me that I can't have an air conditioner, meat, or travel (or worse, lobby my government to ban me from having these things), they're not getting any money.

I'm OK with taking some risk that the org will use money in a way that I consider non-optimal, but I draw the line where I see a risk that the money may be used directly against my own interests. "Don't feed the mouth that bites you", I guess.

True true. I stand corrected. GoT had the « super heroes » treatment when it come to merchandising. And yes it display all of that.

I still think Disney is the culprit. ( vs HBO on TV, but still, I would not be surprised if a happy meal with GoT theme existed )
I don't think we will ever get to understanding even 10%. I think the cause and effect of what happens in our mouth/throat/stomach/small/large intestines connection will ever ben understood. Unlike the advancements we've made in trying understand the brain which we've only begun.

From all that gather, the cause and effect like one bacteria's waste is another's feed to yet another etc.. I do know yes, we found certain vitamins are made in the gut including many hormones like why is 90% of Serotonin made in colon but bulk of it is used in the brain? It has been found that there are neurons in our gut thus the "2nd brain" Hypothesis.

Not going into specifics, I can tell you without a doubt my fasting has made a huge impact to my health although I'm not doing it long enough >5 days nor often enough. Further that by eating garbage high carb/sugar when back to "normal."

It's been speculated and I believe it's for real that if everyone fasts at least one full day a week and do IM 16:8 the rest. Most of the aliments people are currently dealing with will be almost gone.

I clearly feel going into ketosis after a full day of fasting.

I fast 3-5 days once a qtr and every week I fast Mondays.

If I had the money and motivation. I would start a startup that does the following:
At your puberty, you bank/cryofreeze your blood and when you are the pinnacle of your gut/body health in your 20's cryofreeze your stool. Then in your 50-60's, reimplant your stool and your blood. We lose so much along the way, by the time we're in our later age, we need to reconstitute it to reinvigorate your gut and possibly reverse aliments. I truly believe this business model could work.

I think that needs a 'but' in there somewhere, and for Eastern Poland/Ukraine the figures are quite a bit higher than for Turkey.

See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14752799/ and many other studies done with similar objectives such as https://www.medpagetoday.org/meetingcoverage/ata/54237?vpass... . It is not something that sits well with various politicians because the liability question was never really answered and so this is just another inconvenient truth.
the same people who designed and built Microsoft Multiplan (a dud if there ever was one) also went on to create Excel, an odyssey that started in 1983, and that version was created for an early version of Windows that didn't get any traction, and then Excel was rebuilt for the Mac, so that's v2 (3 if you count Multiplan), and then when recreated again it finally took off after many years with the success of Microsoft Windows 3.0 starting in 1990.

Excel only won from the years of longevity provided by a deep pockets company with a vested interest in extending its monopoly, with a little help from Lotus who really dropped the ball on the switchover to GUIs
> it's not that MIPS is the best at embedded, it's just that it's cheaper to sell

That sounds a lot like MIPS being the best at embedded. Not high-end, sure, but a lot of embedded is "what is the cheapest processor that can run Linux?"

This is pretty interesting, do you doing you are able to defend those estimates using the same methodology?
In my experience from the past decade, it is often the case that, the difficult thing isn't estimating how much time the proposed project takes to build (this is the difficult part for some devs though), but it's how much other stuff comes up. Stuff includes everything not related to your project. E.g. your last project that is now on prod, where bugs were reported and need to be fixed. Another team needs your expertise on something and next thing you know you're in a 2 hour meeting with them, and also reviewing their 1000-lines PR. Maybe a real production fire is happening and you have to help and it takes you the next 2 full days on it.

Because of this, my general approach when estimating a project in my head is how much time I know it would take me if I get to work full time on it with nothing else on my plate. Then I can better estimate how much time realistically it would take after factoring in X number of hours per day on distractions. In many cases I also communicate with the stakeholders (PMs, biz ops, leads) directly "This is how long it would take me if I dedicate full work days on it" and let them take it at face value too. (It's a sentence that usually ends with "So realistically probably [2x of what I just said]")
This type of thing is exactly what puts me off companies.

I recognize that they/them can refer to a singular. But it can also refer to a plural. I have been in multiple conversations where the use of they/them had to be explicitly disambiguated. As in, the person had to clarify that they, ahem, they were using the pronoun “they” to refer to a single person. It wasn’t a calamity, but it was a little confusing.

So again, I am not opposed to folks choosing pronouns. I am just saying that it is different, difficult, and will take some time for people to adapt.

Creative work is nothing like industrial work and that's the problem. Programmers and designers aren't stamping parts repetitively all day so the system doesn't linearize in that manner.
When you memorized numbers that way, did you "see" the numbers in your mind's eye? And when you went to recall it, did you basically read it from that impression? I sometimes memorize numbers and other strings that way.
Kuhn never argued about the misuse of data. He instead argued that the scientific understanding of the data lead to models that became increasingly complex. So much so, that scientists realized it was time to try a new way of understanding the underlying data. The new models were the "revolution".
Just wait until all software becomes a streamed H.265 video stream. That's certainly the future once latency allows for it. No piracy, infinite subscriptions, total control. But if you don't like it, don't buy it. That's life.
A laser used for CDR writing is already powerful enough. The big trick for mosquito hunting is to pulse a number of smaller lasers, briefly, synchronized and aiming for the same spot from different angles. That takes care of the fire and blinding damage but will still harm the much less solid mosquito.
What’s the actual latency you get between pressing a key and seeing the result on the screen? And how is it if the connection is good and the server is close?
Thank you for the kind words!

I'm not decided on Spotify yet. I don't like their compensation model for artists, but, in fairness, i reviewed it years ago.

Should give it another read at some point.
One copy of a book has value by itself. But a standard needs everyone to follow it, so a business model that shrinks the audience is self-defeating.
CPU is currently a rather natural baseline as the various GPU implementations are still somewhat preliminary. I'm not quite an expert on the implementation challenges around FHE (I work on compilers targeting FHE), but my understanding is that the access patterns of the core operation, the number theoretic transform (NTT, a DFT in a finite field), are not particularly GPU friendly. Dedicated hardware is expected to comparatively very well here.

I was going to submit exactly this but you beat me to it. ;)

To make it easier for people, in the article Chris Lee cites this paper by Xanadu researchers:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03202-1

arxiv version:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.02109.pdf

Chris summarizes his thoughts as:

"...this is a big step. There are no large barriers to scaling this same computer to a bigger number of qubits. The researchers will have to reduce photon losses in their waveguides, and they will have to reduce the amount of leakage from the laser that drives everything (currently it leaks some light into the computation circuit, which is very undesirable). The thermal management will also have to be scaled. But, unlike previous examples of optical quantum computers, none of these is a “new technology goes here” barrier.

What is more, the scaling does not present huge amounts of increased complexity. In superconducting qubits, each qubit is a current loop in a magnetic field. Each qubit generates a field that talks to all the other qubits all the time. Engineers have to take a great deal of trouble to decouple and couple qubits from each other at the right moment. The larger the system, the trickier that task becomes. Ion qubit computers face an analogous problem in their trap modes. There isn’t really an analogous problem in optical systems, and that is their key advantage."

Cell references in Excel are not hard-coded; they are automatically updated if you modify the spreadsheet by deleting or inserting other cells, and unless you use the $ before the col or row they automatically increment/adjust when pasted into another cell.

And you can just name a cell or range if you want to use a variable name to refer to some data in a pivot table or formula.
heh interesting, although considering Tesla kinda made the whole thing extremely fast, I'm not surprised they rebranded parts already available from other brands.
It's this one.

Starlink is an easy way to make oodles of money, which they can redirect toward getting to Mars.

They can launch their satellites at cost (or less, if they sell ride sharing). No other telecom can do that. And their customer cost is already fraction of everyone else's.

Add to that their mass-production optimized satellites, and no one else can even touch them. There is a very good chance that Starlink will achieve its goal of printing money.
