The wind is blowing towards gold open access, i.e., the research remains published at Elsevier, it is open-access, but publishing each article costs $1000-$2000 charged to the university via grant money or "subscriptions to publish" in place of the existing subscriptions to read.

I don't think Elsevier is really worried. This gold OA model is just sending the same quantities of money to them, just under a different name, and with the side benefit that everyone can read the published articles.

The real change will be when researchers stop publishing in the journals that they own -- noting that the costs to publish are so high because the prestige of journals means that fair competition can't happen. Sadly, it doesn't look like researchers are willing to take such a step -- or even to stop reviewing for these journals for free (see our pledge in this sense, https://nofreeviewnoreview.org/)
>I find this kind of thinking a lot which is "I hate the goals of this group of people, therefore everyone involved must be idiots" and I find it deplorable.

Oh, I don't think they're idiots. I just think they're morally bankrupt.

>Tinder is full of many smart people who have put out some thoughtful design decisions that are real innovations. In particular, there's an awful lot of ML that goes on behind the scenes that is showing you matches that are most likely to match with you.

There's nothing thoughtful about replacing a large swath of human connection with a proprietary black box designed to prey on human psychology to extract money from vulnerable people.
My favorite book on this subject is Legalize This!: The Case for Decriminalizing Drugs by Doug Husak

https://www.amazon.com/Legalize-This-Decriminalizing-Practic...

He argues that since putting someone into prison is the among the worst things society does to people, we need a good reason to do it. When it comes to using drugs, no such reason (has been, or) can be given. Alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and sugar are all drugs. Skiing is dangerous to one's health. Any reason given against drugs should not outlaw things we already think should be legal. He concludes that all drugs should be decriminalized.

A historic note: the prohibition of 1920's would be a good approximation of decriminalization the book argues for -- back then the consumers of alcohol were not criminals, only the distributors. Legalization (allowing for sale of drugs) requires a different argument than the book provides.
A couple of points :)

1. The yellow lentil dish is not usually called a curry (google the word 'curry', it is a much abused omnibus term for many Indian dishes). It is called a dal, as in "dal fry" or "dal tadka" (and not dhal(l) either :)

2. Coconut (or any) sambal is not an Indian dish, it is SE Asian, like Malaysian, although some Indian chutneys may resemble sambals in taste. India has a similar-sounding dish called sambar, but it is completely different. It is a kind of thick soupy dal which is sour (from tamarind or lemon or tomato) and often has some vegetable pieces in it. (Spices too, of course.) Usually served to go with rice, as in sambar rice, or with idli or dosa(i).

Anyway, nice to hear you like dal and rotis that much (e.g. 5 days a week). I do, too (with a sabji as well), and the same for rice, dal and sabji (a vegetable curry or dry veg dish). Those two combos are what the bulk of millions of Indian live on, day in and day out, even today. Except that some substitute some millet[1] or other for the rice or wheat (roti). And those can taste even better. But that is another story.

[1] India has many millets, of which jowar and bajra are probably best known, but others are making a resurgence these days.
In some ways they are more nutritious, and also, many need less resources (like water) than rice and wheat do.
> One of the reasons for that instrumentation is that they used to be operated in a cloud-like environment where the machine is sliced into smaller ones and time on them is billed much like cloud computing is billed today.

IIRC, that's still true. I think IBM mainframes are typically leased, and the customer is billed on usage.

There's some complexity to this, where I think the metering only applies to programs in the "traditional" mainframe environment, while things running on the mainframe Linux environment are exempt from metered billing.
The same way you could be on Facebook and not being radicalized at all. At the end of the day it's people who chose to be misinformed, who chose to not question, not look elsewhere, not to be skeptic about how content is making them feel. Facebook just shamelessly takes advantage of people's shortcomings, for profit.

We are working on improvements to the baseline simulator also (or rather we basically get them for free because they are part of our core simulation engine), so hopefully that should address some of the first order usability issues in SPICE simulations. For these kinds of design applications, the ML-based speed up may or may not work, since you do have to spend time training the surrogate. You can often re-use pieces of if, but depending on what kind of manipulations you're doing to the model you're surrogatizing, it may or may not help if you're changing the circuit after every simulation.
No, they should be immediately open-access. Why give commercial publishers a 1-year exclusivity window for free?
It's not an independent agency, not sure what you expected there.
That is not at all true. On an average, TVs have a 10% margin of the manufacturers, this tends to be way higher for newer models. If they are sold at nearly at cost, there's no point for most manufacturers to even be in the business.
Glad you like it! With the pricing, we wanted to validate whether or not we were solving a painful enough of a problem. We're still early on and figuring out the best model - we're thinking about pricing tiers for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

Laptops, by necessity, have smaller fans, since they're smaller. Same amount of cooling with a smaller fan means the fans spin faster, and faster fans are louder. Laptops simply can't have acceptable performance with adequate cooling unless you're willing to compromise on either noise, or running x86.

"Well actually..." given form.
Ask HN: How do you manage areas where you aren't familiar with the tech/domain?
Look, I get it, in an ideal world you've been in the trenches and can do, or at least have experience in doing something similar to what you're asking the people that report to you to do.
The reality is, however, that at some point this doesn't scale and despite my best efforts to continue learning new technology, there are just some things that I don't know yet.

I am at a jumping off point in my career where I will have to start managing larger organizations, including organizations where I am just not familiar with the tech/domain.

I'm being hired because the bulk of my experience is applicable to the role, but, I can already foresee there are blind spots that I have that will make this job challenging.

At the moment, my first order of business will be to leverage my network to hire people that I can have at least some confidence in are competent in these areas. (And of course I'll start by observing and doing whatever I can to learn the domain as quickly as possible)

Any tips on what to do here? From the strategic to the day-to-day managing of engineers, what are some things I can do so that I don't fall flat on my face?

Halving or doubling is entirely feasible, though unless you're experienced go with 1x the first time you make the recipe.

In this case the ambiguity is a factor of 3X, the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon. Or possibly more: given the quantities of the recipe he may mean some kind of personal dedicated spice spoon that could be around 1/2 tsp. In which case a tablespoon would be a factor of 6x, which is sufficient to make a recipe inedible.

If that recipe appealed, I would say that if you use a teaspoon the recipe would work (assuming he hasn't made other errors in the recipe; I didn't look that closely). But he's not following the conventions and I'd probably go looking for a difference recipe.

Once you've made a few recipes successfully you can, as you point out, easily halve or double spices. But I'd start with recipes that were better tested than this one.
Another reason to not copy what the west was doing was the deliberate crippling of early systems. It's difficult to find this information on the web, but I recall that the early IBM PC/AT machines ran at 6MHz and contained BIOS code that prevented them from booting if they were clocked any faster. (Later versions ran at 8MHz.)

The reason was to prevent people from buying IBM PC/AT machines instead of IBM RISC 6000 workstations.
A fair point. I would suggest that doctor's decade-long post-high-school educations are much, much more directly connected to what they are doing than a 4-year bachelor's in computer science is to a programming job. A doctor comes out of an internship in which they were actually doing the job for an extended period of time under heavy supervision. If software engineering adopted the same procedures, we could probably also get away without these interview procedures.
At first glance (and the glances after that), the blurring makes me think there are things being censored. IMO unhelpful because the audience will think "hey why is this screenshotter hiding stuff before and after the quote?"
Accelerate doesn't just mean 'run faster' but 'write models faster.' It's about reducing time to market and overhead for design verification, which is a massive time and money sink in the industry today.

In the United States, aviation mechanics are trained primarily to be generalists who can safely operate on any aircraft. Airline regulation may create specializations. The manufacturer needs to provide parts and certain highly specialized services (like rebuilding damaged wings, for example.) That parts and service supply is wrapped up in a "Type Certification Ownership". That type ownership is a valuable thing, because it's a guaranteed population of customers. Therefore, when aviation companies fail, the type ownership is auctioned off, and it will be bought.
They still pay for licensed capacity when running things like z/OS. The machine is shipped "full" but the hardware has to be activated by paying a license.

One of the interesting features I heard when they launched z15 was that, if one needed to restart a partition, it could tap unlicensed CPUs to start faster and then go back to its licensed capacity.

I've been using it for a while and enjoy it a lot. One thing I've never understood is why there are time-based categories. What's the point of anything except the real-time feed? If I don't want updates as soon as possible, then I also don't want to keep track of it. Never understood the use case.
I've got another anecdote about exposed information. Saw a car's 'Instagram handle' while next to them (was passenger) and got curious. Sure enough, their car's Instagram handle was public-facing and had links to the presumable owner's instagram handle (public facing) and his wife's handle (also public). Within five minutes of horrified clicking, I found both parents' birthdays, occupations (and photos of locations where they worked at) full legal names and birthdays of their parents, sisters, brothers (they had posted birthday celebrations and funeral announcements with names and dates), their wedding date (and all subsequent vacations they took), residence (posted about buying a new house), their children's full legal names and where they went to school (posted dropping them off at school), and the makes and models of all their cars (posted about buying new cars) over the last 5-6 years. It was a little scary to see how open they were.

In what important way? I'm making the case that both should be repairable.

> ...If tires were vulnerable to supply chain attacks, then not only would it be acceptable, some customers would demand it.

Those customers always have the option of not repairing the device, or going directly to the manufacturer, or whatever. That's fine. But guess what, most people (rightfully) don't care that much about supply chain attacks, because they're not targets, or the risk is infinitesimal. They should have the right to repair their device.
I think it does add information. “Out of an abundance of caution” is a stock phrase that means “we don’t think this is currently a problem but it’s a prudent thing to do”. Without it, the statement is open to interpretation: were any users actually affected?

The idea of "trying" to write is in the last two of PG's essays.

I would just like to reveal that the word "essay" comes from French verb "essayer" which means "to try".

This makes the phrase "trying to write an essay" somewhat tautological doesn't it?

I'm curious whether PG knows this little fact.

If language is like a 6th sense into a shared platonic realm of ideas, it wouldn't be unsurprising that PG is able to survey the concept of "essays" accurately without knowing its etymology.

I would also agree with this. When it comes to masks.. they're still stuck on the idea that people should be wearing cloth based masks. Other nations have moved on from that weak idea.

Germany requires the FFP2, and Korea has recommended the KF94.

The browser version is a joke. It makes my 22 core, 128GB desktop look like a 2000's netbook. Even simple text chat is ungodly slow. This is not over a VPN either.
From an implementation perspective of course, so you can get error propagation on the baseline simulator. For the actual ML part, you'd get Measurements complaining that it doesn't know how to propagate bounds through the surrogate. You can do some estimation of what that propagation would look like, but it's a research project.
I'd like to second this question. I'm very interested in bioinformatics as a field, but no background. Would be happy to devote some free time but I wouldn't want to be counterproductive.

Given the response times to bugs by paid teams compelled on threat of terminated employment to implement fixes for things...an open source maintainer absolutely could ignore even critical bugs.

I agree that chronological order and more generally not overriding user's preferences to maximize engagement would solve this problem.

I disagree that Mastodon (or other federated alternatives) are a good example of this because these projects don't have a business model to support, so obviously they don't have to care about maximizing engagement.

I'm not saying maximizing engagement is a good idea, or that engagement-based business models are a good idea, I'm just saying that comparing a platform with an incentive to make money to one that does not doesn't answer anything.
I think that's often the case with "skills shortages."
