Don't worry, JWST isn't going to burn up for a few billion years. Until the Sun expands into a red giant at least.

They are sending it to the L2 lagrange point which is further out that the moon. That's also why they are so careful about making sure the origami sun shield works right the first time. If it screws up the whole mission is lost because there's no chance to fly some astronauts out there to fix it like we did with Hubble.

As for exposures while its spinning, I was under the impression these are really long exposures and require it to be precisely aimed for quite awhile.
Very good advice. I've also seen this from new ICs (incidentally from one of our new data guys). I bet he said yes but he shouldn't have.

New guy, knows nothing about the company and product yet but was asked to "get KPI X by end of day". He obviously has no idea how to get this done so goes to various people and throws around the "VP XYZ wants this by end of day, help me now or else!".

Needless to say I, as politely as I could, told him to shut it, look at his data and what he could get from it and stop interrupting dev with mid day, two days after start of a sprint, requests to do his work for him (dude I don't even have access to your data storage, don't know what data you have or don't etc). And do it by end of day. Sure.

The guy is burned for me now. He will have to do a LOT of sucking up to dev now for his try at "do my job for me or else"

I thought the parent was talking about using information about the network connection to link users across sites hosted by the same entity?

If you're talking about fingerprinting in general, that is also something that all the browsers are working on. I'm most familiar with Chrome's strategy, which is to first switch APIs that provide a lot of entropy from something you get by default to something you have to actively request, figure out how to provide similar functionality more privately, and then enforce a privacy budget that does not allow collecting enough information to identify users: https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandb...

I assume it wouldn’t be possible to not overcook part of it unless you’re undercooking another unless they cooked everything individually.

I love the implication that there's this shadow company, Fronk. Seemingly defunct, they're actually thriving secretly behind the facade of a failed startup.

Every marketing manager has engaged them privately to boost their numbers. Every developer secretly works for them on the side.

I have switched half back to Windows (after a decade of 100% Linux) recently just because I finally accepted there is no way of making GUI apps as a single developer nearly as easy and pleasant as WinForms with VisualStudio. The result is virtually Windows-only (it can run on Mono but there are some quirks) but it feels worth that sacrifice.

you can get a pretty good idea right now, the simulator is functional and the unit tests include explanations in english:

https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=tree;f=src/...

i'm currently in the middle of a rabbit-hole exploration of being able to do in-place RADIX-2 FFT, DCT and DFT butterflys, the target is a general purpose function to cover each of those, in around 25 Vector instructions.

not 2,000 optimised loop-unrolled instructions specifically crafted for RADIX-8, another for RADIX-16, another for RADIX-32 ..... RADIX-4096 (as is the case in ffmpeg): 25 instructions FOR ANY 2^N FFT.

btw if you're interested in "real-world" SVP64 Vector Assembler we have the beginnings of an ffmpeg MP3 CODEC inner loop:

https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=blob;f=medi...

that's under 100 instructions, more than 4x less assembler for the same job in PPC64. and 6.5 times less assembler than ffmpeg's optimised x86 apply_window_float.S

you will no doubt be aware of the huge power savings that brings due to reduced L1 cache usage.

> If 51% agree on the legitimacy of the block, consensus is reached

I think this isn't entirely right, because he's talking about 51% of miners. The ones that actually incorporate the blocks to the blockchain and validate if the transactions are valid are the nodes (I might be wrong but that's my understanding). In fact this article fails to mention nodes at all, and nodes (for example people running the Bitcoin Core client at their computer) are what make the whole thing decentralized.

> publishers provide discoverability because they are a well-defined source known to the community

Could this not be said about Sci-Hub itself?

The purpose of copyright is to enrich public access to creative works. So bypassing of paywalls, regardless of whether it was publicly or privately funded, should be judged against that measure. It does not seem that researchers will stop writing papers just because of a drop in publisher revenue, regardless of the source of funding.

There are powerful people who would be happy to imprison or kill her. It's weird to call a revolutionary who is in the spotlight paranoid. A couple of administration changes and a sex or bribery scandal in some place she's never even visited could set off a series of events where she ends up like Assange or worse.
It’s just a smell. It hints that instead of passing the instance, one should instead be passing the output of the function.

It also doesn’t really matter. The only time things like this have actually been important was in giant Java codebases, where attempts were made to keep packages cleanly separated (and so therefore passing the simplest possible public types reduces the amount of public classes).
> But Nintendo is notorious for releasing low quality stuff with their IP skinned on it.

Nintendo is also widely praised for consistently releasing innovative gaming platforms at fair prices. And that's what they tend to market and invest in heavily - I've never seen an advertisement for any of their low-quality cash-grab toys (which, yeah, they do exist, and they do suck...).

> A product isn't more than it's quality metrics, if you believe so, I highly recommend taking a marketing class.

OP's claim was that nintendo's product are low-quality, sold at high-price, thanks to relentless marketing. But the products being heavily marketed by Nintendo do tend to be high-quality (for instance, The Switch, a portable console that can be used comfortably enough as a home console, with several innovative input methods and a fairly wide range of high-quality games).

If you purely look at the hardware specs, it may seem like a low-quality product, but that's not the correct quality metric to use in this case.

I probably worded this wrongly, but it is exactly what I mean: I totally understand that _the output_ of my job has 10x impact, so I understand why I am paid more.

But, just because I am lucky enough to work in a field where my work could potentially impact the entire world, it doesn't mean I deserve to be paid 3x the others.

The amount of energy, passion, and dedication can be the same if you are a kindergarten teacher, a nurse, or a web developer.
Nintendo might not release cutting edge hardware, but they're pretty much the only big video game company left that doesn't openly release half finished games with the intention to maybe fix them a few months later.

The ethics of this is very clear cut, it's unethical.

It's unethical for a company to interview candidates if they don't have the intention of offering anyone a job.

And likewise it's unethical for a candidate to attend an interview if they have no intention of considering a potential offer.

Bait-and-switch is consulting 101. Entice client in with the most senior person with the impressive resume. Assign someone else to do the actual work. That's what you generally get with any big-name consulting firm.

This is not necessarily bad! The senior in this case is more like the "brand" of the operation.

This is more common that you would think. I’ve seen situations where it’s been hard to untangle ownership stakes in outside firms, and folks not disclosing family ties to new suppliers.

Your option 2 does not work as anything other than a break — it brings the ISM into the same frame as the ship, slowing the ship down in the process. Really useful break, but not useful as more than a break if you can’t beam in arbitrary energy not carried with the ship and if you can beam in every you probably don’t need use the ISM as a break.

Consider: take all the energy from bringing the ISM into the same frame as the ship, use it with 90% efficiency to reaccelerate the same matter out the back of the ship in an ion drive, and you merely roughly double the velocity where drag becomes clearly dominant (I am handwaving the relativity correction as the difference between x8 and x10). 99% efficiency, you’re looking at 0.086 c * 2^2 = 0.34 c, still far short of what you need for time dilation to get you 1000 ly in 15 subjective years.

Also, any engineering solution along the lines of what you suggest would turn existing $1000 high-school-project Farnsworth fusors into useful power output fusion reactors rather than mere switchable neutron sources.

(As an aside, learning about the reality of Bussard ramscoops gave me the headcannon that the ones in Trek only refuel the ships while they park themselves in ionospheres; but Trek is big on the “space is an ocean” trope, so not that important).
A good part of this resonates with me. In 2015 I moved to a new city to work for a large auction company doing frontend. It was a large corp that I didn't feel I was well-suited for, but I thought it was worth a shot. For 6 months things were fine and I figured out how to work on the codebase with collaboration from a later hire. At around that 6 month mark, they started planning a new initiative to rebuild another part of the site, and my colleague chose to take that on, while I continued on the bit I was familiar with. Fast forward 2 months, and just as the new project starts, the upper middle manager decides to shuffle all the teams because they heard on the internet or something it was a good idea. I end up on the project my colleague has been planning this whole time, he ends up on mine, and we're in different parts of the office with no reason to communicate and 1 month to get it done. Wasn't involved in conception, wasn't familiar with the code or constraints, didn't agree with any of the decisions, and couldn't concentrate well in the noisy office. Went from productive and enthusiastic, to miserable and burnt out after blowing past the deadline because shocker, all this was stupid and didn't help me get things done faster. Years later, and I have a very hard time being enthusiastic for professional programming, because I internalized a sense that I didn't matter, the products don't matter, and it's not worth trying very hard unless you have agency over the decisions being made. Fuck you Brad.
She's the one delivering that access. And if you want to define sole decisionmaking power as dictatorship, I'm the dictator of the cookies I baked yesterday, too. You're free to provide access to the papers yourself.

> With steam+proton you can almost just buy whatever

Unless you don't have a magically compatible hardware setup. On my laptop like half my Steam library won't start, only shows a black screen or crashes instantly. Not even all official Linux releases reliably work. The last time I tried Ubuntu I couldn't even install Steam out of the box. Yes, Steam+Proton has improved the situation immensely. It's still a different kind of experience than on Windows, though.

I just went the console route. Not perfect, but I like that it basically guarantees the hardware will be compatible with new games for 5+ years. The slightly better visuals aren't worth it to me, most games look good enough nowadays (or rather, the best-looking games tend to not be the most enjoyable ones on average).

DNS without DNSSEC will also "make your site vanish" if you administer it incompetently. And that's not hypothetical either; it happens all the time.

As for the "servers that will validate DNSSEC if it's available", the operators of the servers that "huge portions of the Internet's user base" use are exactly the people who are potential threat actors in most DNS tampering scenarios. That's not useful or effective validation. It makes no sense to put the choice of whether to validate in their hands, and obviously nobody can trust their validation.
I see how this would be useful in always-warm/hot environments. But I'm curious -- would this be useful at locations with major seasonal changes? For example, in northeastern USA, the temperature varies from 100F to 0F through the year. So this would be great in the summer, but do I just "pay" for it in the winter via more heating? I imagine it depends on the cost of heating vs cost of cooling depending on the location.
Even in the US most can't afford it. Only the high executives.

College is a game. If you arent cheating, you really dont care about your gpa and waste too much time in school. Those students that cheat and get away with it are actually much wiser than your friend seeing as they save way more time.
This is a very bad take.

A major component of the university experience is collaboration and networking. Dividing tasks and plugging holes in each other's understanding. Bouncing ideas off other people to test your own understanding and verify against theirs.

Any good university isn't simply about grades and there's a limit to what you can learn online. Credentials exist as a minimum filter, not as a mark of competence. One cannot be tested for an expressed numerically.
> If we predict that ultimately AI will change virtually every aspect of society, these companies will become omnipresent, "everything companies". God companies.

What we currently call AI is very from AGI, and it's not clear that sitting on piles of proprietary data gives an edge towards AGI. If the goal is human-level intelligence, that has been demonstrably achieved with the far lesser resources of the public school system. :)

Current DL systems need huge amount of data, because they are very primitive: they work with immediate associations, so they require seeing data very similar to all possible inputs to generalize well.

As we develop more sophisticated systems, I expect that the leverage from data will tip over to engineering finesse, and nothing is better at fostering great engineering than the permissionless tinkering environment of open source.

Hi, creator here! TeamSuccess is a project risk management resource for agile teams. You can learn how to identify project risks, and increase risk awareness, with your Scrum / Kanban team.
