On the tech side, this looks nice.
But one thing people don't seem to take seriously enough is:

If you're doing science and you don't know the literature, then you're doing a bad job.

Understanding a paper won't work by reading AI summaries. Finding surprising new papers in your field should be very rare even without tech.

[edit]
Let me re-phrase the very negative statement above.
There are a couple of important tasks in working with literature.

One is finding cumulative truth, i.e. figuring out the overall state of research. This should be done in a true meta-analysis of the data, since references are sometimes citing articles incorrectly (i.e. claiming something that's not in the paper) and the linguistic complexity is enormous. Meta-analyes are a lot of manual work, even though you can extract some data from standardized tables.

Another one is figuring out what new publications there are on a specific subject. Search engines like google scholar are immensely useful here, because you can follow the reference tree in both directions (citing and cited). This tool would help, but perhaps incrementally so (not a panacea).

A third task would be to identify novel interesting papers that you didn't know about, perhaps from a different field. This tool might help, but only if an unknown interesting paper cites something you're looking at (i.e. if the networks are not disjoint).

Apart from that, offering structural analyses and visualizations of science is something I believe should be done with open source and open data, because science is about trust and transparency - now more than ever.
anyone employed anywhere should be unionized, thats just common sense
I think you're trying to compare and contrast things that don't contradict each other. Having APIs is one thing (and Apple has lots of APIs about many things), and integrating the whole experience is another. Amazon and Apple do both.

Ask HN: How to stop my manager asking enable camera in meetings during WFH
As I mentioned in the title, my manager usually asks for enabling my camera in the meetings. But here are some points I think it's valid to say "No".

- My company does not add "Face on" in meeting as a policy.

- I don't expect to see people faces in the meeting, rather than their voice and their screen sharing or their notes/chatting.

- The meeting platform is Google Meet and my development works on the laptop Mac Pro 13'' 2017 is quite slower than normal when I being on (VSCode + Go + Browser Tabs + Postman + etc.). Sometimes, all sharing camera from others hung up in the meeting. My laptop fan seems working too hard when being in the meeting. I have to use a stand slot for the laptop, then use external keyboard and mouse.

- I've been WFH for almost a month. No hair salons opening now due to they're following government policy due to pandemic. You can understand how shabby my face is.

Additionally, I don't know why a lot of articles try to push the point that enable camera in meetings can help people work smoothly than.

In above, I shared my points would make me feel like I don't really want to be enabled in meeting as face-to-face. Also feel like my manager is not true to ask people for that, not even me.

How do you guys think? Any people have the same feeling during WFH? Is this a valid expectation from my side? Any other points? If this is a true, then how to convince my manager with high confident that I will win?

I would like to hear opinions further. Thanks!

"It's all math, but it's pretty easy math "

My experience is, that all math is easy - if you understand it.

But most have big gaps in their basic math knowledge (like me) - and then "pretty easy math" is suddenly very hard, as you stumble every second step, over a concept you never really understood back in class and what you learned you have mostly forgotten - so you have to relearn this. And then that. And then the other thing. And suddenly "easy math" is hard work.

So ... telling people, it is just "easy math" - can make people feel very stupid for not getting it and totally put them off.
And I know that I am not stupid - I simply lack knowledge in the area. But for other people with lower self esteem, it can have the opposite effect of encouraging.

Milestones on Your Startup's Path from Big Idea to Valuable Company
70% of CVEs (bugs detected) being memory related does not mean that 70% of all software bugs are memory errors (bugs that exist). See survivors bias. Memory errors can be detected with the assistance of programs, so they are much easier to find than other bugs like logic errors, which require knowing what a program ought to do. I think the latter is much more insidious.

Those seem like poor reasons to justify 128-bit CPU hardware, over 128-bit emulation in software.

In particular, MD5 use in new software is strongly discouraged.

You'll note that some of them are essentially identical with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256-bit_computing so they seem more guided by abstract arguments than concrete engineering reasoning.

This is an argument for a lot of things - progressive support structures, a robust social safety net run by people who know what they're doing as opposed of bureaucrats, maybe even against full-time employment earning you less than food stamp levels of income.

Well, sure, but what you say "needs" fixing has a lot of problems:

1) it's double or quadruple the time (8/6 vs 24h) vs school
2) kids aren't arranged per 20 (or 40 these days). You really need someone in a location per 2/3 kids.

So this is a non-starter, fixing the home environment. Plus current attempts to fix it, meaning mostly CPS, generally make things a LOT worse, make these kids far more toxic than they would be left in their problematic home, if that's what you're concerned about. Also, it would further take away opportunities from these kids.

(e.g. https://www.kansascity.com/news/special-reports/article23820... )

Which leads to:

a) we can't "fix the home situation", beyond providing some education on how kids should be raised
(seriously, someone in government make a fucking youtube series about it ... talk about useful spending of CPS budget!)
b) current attempts to do just that anyway make the situation worse for everyone involved (toxicity + crime + lack of opportunities), and don't improve things for those kids.
c) I don't see b changing.
d) we *still* do want to "fix" those kids

Ergo it will need to happen at school. Home situation problematic or not. Addressing the core problem or not. It will need to happen in school (taken widely. E.g. sports ... can be included). Maybe this is a very hard problem, but it's not nearly as hard as the other side of the coin.

And not helping those kids do better is not acceptable. Even aside from the obvious observation that homelessness, drugs and crime don't just impact the people directly involved.

In the age of Info Overload - Never ask vague questions.
You are asking for irreparable brain damage.

It always good to remember we have 6 inch chimp brains. And its getting very easy to fill it up with useless bullshit totally unrelated to your reality.

There are too many chimps jabbering away online all very different. There is a big spectrum of personality types in the chimp troupe, thrown into all manner of situations no one has prepared those 6 inch brains to handle. So the vaguer the question gets, the larger the corpus of answers you will receive that will have no connection to your personality type or situations you land up in.

Learn to make the question as specific as possible to your reality. If you are an apple tree it doesn't matter what advice a redwood tree or cactus is busy broadcasting into the ether.

Hard disagree. If you have two dishes, the only one can only be eaten when "dead drunk" and the other one only with strong wine, then I'd say the first is most likely way worse than the second, if strong wine doesn't even mask the taste of the first one and requires you to be "dead drunk".

Edit: I'm being ridiculous; the below assumes a Turing machine with infinite tape, with the restriction that it must halt eventually, simulated by a PC. That's not real.

Absent an infinite Turing tape, the number of states a computer can have is very finite; 2^(amount of memory). Assuming 16GiB of RAM and no hard drive, that's 2^2^30 states. Assuming a state transition happens every clock cycle (which it basically would be for a naïve counter – though obviously if you were designing a program to run as slowly as possible, you wouldn't do it this way), and assuming a massively-overclocked 10GHz chip (2^33 Hz or thereabouts), it'd run for 2^(2^30 - 33) seconds.

The CMB will probably be undetectable in about 2^62 seconds, so it'd run for 2^(2^30 - 95) times that length of time. Vastly, vastly shorter than my below estimate!!

Graham's number is g_64. Don't take g_1000; rather, take g_g_g_g_g_g_g_…g_g_64 Graham's number times, and then repeat that Graham's number times, and that's probably not an upper bound; the complete description of that number fits in your computer's memory.

Whatever the limit of a computer program's execution time, it's definitely large enough that it doesn't really need a unit; it's practically irrelevant whether you measure it in yocto-Planck-times or yotta-heat-deaths, or even just count the digits.
An intelligent response without consciousness is different to an intelligent response with consciousness. That is the re-definition.

We can speculate that the full human experience of pain may exist in the absence of a brain. And we can estimate the probability of that being the case in plants. Do you really think that probability is high?

Also, plants can and do react to damage and even touch.

The overwhelming majority of the size there is art assets, not actual code. Also, reducing the size of those art assets can actually improve performance by the simple virtue of not hitting the memory wall all the time, so I'm not really convinced here.

A monolithic kernel supporting every piece of hardware under the sun from the last three decades is not really a valid point of comparison.

> Retail workers, factory workers, people who fill in the holes in roads, telephone support people, etc aren't contending with pointless meetings and busy work though. They can't do 40 hours of work in 32 hours by removing some of the hours they're not really working. What they do doesn't compress like that.

It depends.

In China, the tech companies are testing AI telephone support. My banks uses it, JD.com uses it, China UNICOM use it. If you dial to those companies, an AI will take the call and guide you through the process, no human interaction needed. Not only that, some AI will even call you to schedule appointments etc.

Another example is the supermarkets. Almost all supermarket in our city has deployed self-checkout stations, and some of them even laid off almost all but 1 or 2 of their checkout workers.

I assume this trend will eventually expand to other labor types, so the workload of those workers will be lighten as result. (But of course, we can keep the load the same, but laid off unnecessary people instead, which is more likely if the government don't intervene)

I don't think this is correct. Most compilers include the path to the source code on the build machine in the debug info, and it's a common problem for reproducible builds. This is not a rust-specific issue.

Obviously the binary can't contain paths from the execution machine because it doesn't know what the execution machine will be at compile time, and the source code isn't stored on the execution machine anyway. The point of including the source path in the debug info is for the developer to locate the code responsible if there's a crash.

That might work in the short run. In the long run, voters who don’t see value in the service will inevitably tire of paying for it.

Making public transit broadly appealing is the way to sustain it. Finding competing services to tax to pay for it is a minor part of the overall strategy I think.

IMO there's a massive difference between seeing someone's face and not. A phone call is very different to a video call (and both to meeting in 'real life').

If I had to address your points:

- I don't suppose they had a policy for 'global pandemic, everyone works from home' either. But actually seeing people does make a difference.

- That's fine, but I expect some people would like to see you, to know they have your attention and to make it feel more like they're in a room with you (when they can't be in real life).

- Yeah, my 2020 Mac and fan struggles as well. So be it. Close some apps.

- Does that matter? No one else has had a haircut either. In the same way 2 years ago very few people would dream of having a video call in their bedroom, times have changed. No one expects you to put on a suit, but have a shower and brush you hair and nobody will care.

It probably won't be forever, I'd just get on with it. I have a friend (who, to be fair rather likes it) is in a team that leaves the video on all day so it feels like they're in the office together. Just be thankful you're not working with them!
>But if it is enough to survive on, then too many people who are capable of working will choose to instead just survive on it indefinitely.

That's exactly as stupid as invalidating, say, a 20€ note that I got in change from paying a taxi ride, and the driver received in good faith from some crook who took a ride with him before me. By "invalidating" it, you're robbing me of the worth of that note, those 20€, even though I had nothing to do with that crook.

I think asking for cams to be switched on is totally reasonable. The only acceptable reason against it is of technical nature like bandwidth or that your laptop can't handle the load.

Having said that - I also avoid switching on the cam. But from the perspective of a manager intending to lead a team and a team member interested in engaging with colleagues it does make total sense. Why do I still don't have the cam on usually - because I neither like my work place nor my team at the moment. And I suspect that's also the case for you.
