Every time this assertion is brought up I can't help but bring up this counterpoint:

People continue choosing to use vi-keys (via vim, nvim, or even the many vim-emulation layers all over the place), even on modern high-speed connections, precisely because they still find "single character commands and the ability to type ahead of the display" valuable.

"The display" does not have to be a terminal display. In fact, a significant number of places vi-emulation is used don't even support terminal displays. "The display" can be anything the human waits for to reflect the actions of keys pressed. Once you consider this, the efficiency benefit of vi-keys becomes as clear as that of touch-typing.

The ADM-3A no longer matters. Vim does not use vi-keys because it ever targeted the ADM-3A. Similarly for Neovim, Evil, Tridactyl, Vimium, GMail (and so on). When I wrote a new vi-keys layer for a toy terminal multiplexer, I didn't use h-j-k-l for navigation because I wanted to target the ADM-3A — I didn't even know about the ADM-3A! I did it because I knew of the benefit of using those keys, even on the modern 100+-keys QWERTY-layout that I grew up on and still use.

I cannot describe enough how much I hate this discriminatory excuse, and I live in the top two cities with the best internet connectivity in my country (for four years of my life in Mumbai, till 2020, I was one hop away from the Mumbai IXP). It is downright shameful how far people will stoop while using this excuse. An absolute minority of the population thinks it absolutely okay to build software that excludes users who don't have the absolute best hardware, just because they live in cities like SF or Seoul and are blind to the conditions of other humans. Most of these people aren't even aware how they are excluding people; that's how little they care. I can only wonder what the overlap is between this set of people and those that ignore accessibility.

You are fortunate enough to have a gigabit fibre connection (and possibly 5G) connecting you to servers from your continent, most of your time. But that is not a right you can expect others to have, and that fortune is far from universal. I am fortunate enough to have the access I do have when I have it, but I can only sympathise with the plight of those in Australia.

The standard spelling of that last term is 'Ne'er do well'.

From https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/neer-do-well.html

"The term 'ne'er do well' is of course a contraction of 'never do well'. Ne'er has been used in that shortened form since the 13th century, notably in the North of England and in Scotland. 'Ne'er do well' itself originated in Scotland and an early citation of it in print is found in the Scottish poet and playwright Allan Ramsay's A collection of Scots proverbs, 1737:

Some ha'e a hantla fauts [have many faults] , ye are only a ne'er-do-well."

I've started my ml/dl focused PhD a short while back, and I'm beginning to realize just how difficult it is to achieve significant and as well as consistent results. Actual improvements that come along after multiple rounds of experimentation sometimes only amount to a few percentage points of improvement, and after trying it on a new dataset or new randomization seeds and even that could disappear. Sometimes i'm afraid of running too many experiments since I feel that could make me implicit to academic fraud and it might be better just not to know lol.

Resource constraint also seems to be a serious thing, looking at a full list of ablation experiments, together with multiple runs to obtain error bars, could well take up to a week. If any of the experiments reveal bad results it could also mean back to the drawing board. It seems one would need multiple readily available GPUs in order to be able to really experiment at a comfortable pace.

I also wonder if choice of topic has an important part, since I was sort of assigned my topic which I just decided to do my best to see through. I feel like its important to find a topic where your reasonably confident that there is large margins of potential improvement due to something like lack of exploration or focus by other people. Similarly it might be a good idea to bail if simple initial experimentation yields bad results, or if you find yourself wrangling with increasingly complicated methods for long times but still no obvious signs of progress.

I'd love to hear some others chip in with their experiences on how best to manage the research process cause I feel like I haven't quite gotten the catch of it yet. Are there any good tricks (in the strategy sense, not fraud) that could make the process easier?

Thanks for your thoughts, but just to clarify - the 'LILYGO T-Micro32' is not a dev board with USB chopped off. It's just a PICO-D4 chip and antenna. It's got no Serial2UART, no USB, no LDO or any power management, no battery management - it's got nothing. It's just a D4 SiP on a PCB with an antenna and an RF shield. No different to a WROOM-32 module.

You can't do anything with it unless you put it on a carrier PCB and add all of the other stuff yourself.

Seems to be a lot of confusion about what the Micro32 is and what it's not.

This is a dev board with USB taken off:

There are downsides with the cheaper boards, in addition to size, such as idle power consumption which is typically hideous. Virtually all of the inexpensive boards are just warmed over (or exact copies of) reference designs. He actually is sweating the details to try to make his board the best version it can be for those wanting a better dev board but not wanting to go as far as designing their own.

Most of the karate schools in US are just after school daycare for kids.

You have to train grappling or you might as well not bother training at all.
No, meaning that only "Class 1" are explosives. Other classes are not explosives. The classes are US DOT types of hazardous materials you might ship. Like "Class 6" is poisons.

In other words, there's no "Class 2" or "Class 3" explosives. If it's explosive, it's "Class 1", including firecrackers.

> The macro evidence in that if FTL were possible it makes it that much more unlikely that we haven't detected starfaring life.

I don't think this is a great argument. Even with FTL the galaxy (not universe) is huge. Let's just say you can go 2x (warp factor 1.25) it would still take more than 2 years to reach Alpha Centauri (our closest star, 4.37 lyr). Even at 8c (Warp 2) it would still take >6 months. At 100c it is 2 weeks. The energy to travel these different speeds presumably does not scale well and so the difference between 2c and 1000c is going to be different level of civilizations[0]. The Milky Way is 2 million light years in diameter. There's about 1000 stars within 50 light years. Here's a list of stars <5 parsecs (16 lyr)[1] or within 5 days at 1000c or 0.0008% of the Milky Way. There could be extensive networks of trade and travel with FTL civilizations and we'd probably never detect them. These routes would still be fairly local and if they aren't around us then we would have no chance of seeing them. This is basically peoples in the Western Hemisphere trying to observe people in the Eastern Hemisphere when neither civilizations have the ability to cross the ocean nor see across it to a reasonable resolution.

I think a lot of people miss how huge the galaxy is (let alone Universe). Nothing is accessible without FTL. FTL is _necessary_. That, or immortality, or generational ships. The problem is that these numbers are so incomprehensibly large that we think they are magnitudes smaller than they actually are.

However big you think the galaxy is, it is actually bigger.

I had not looked at the Promising Semantics paper of 2017. Thank you for the reference.

That said, what I have learned from watching this space for a decade is that even formal proofs are no match for the complexity of this general problem. You have to get the definitions right, you have to prove the right statements, and so on. There is still plenty of room for error. And even a correct, verified proof is not really an insight as to why things work.

Experts were telling us in 2009 that OOTA had been resolved to everyone's satisfaction, only to discover that it wasn't, really. Maybe Promising Semantics is the final answer, but maybe not. We need to get to the point where everything is obvious and easy to explain, and we're just not even close to that yet.

Looking at citations of Promising Semantics in Google Scholar I found this Pomsets with Preconditions paper from OOPSLA 2020: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3428262. It contains this sentence:

"As confirmed by [Chakraborty and Vafeiadis 2018; Kang et al. 2018], the promising semantics [Kang et al. 2017] and related models [Chakraborty and Vafeiadis 2019; Jagadeesan et al. 2010; Manson et al. 2005] all allow OOTA behaviors of OOTA4."

I take that to mean the jury still seems to be out on excluding all OOTA problems. Maybe the canonical example has been taken care of, but not other variants. And again we don't really understand it.
Software engineering seems like it might, eventually, become actual engineering when it matures a bit. Most other forms of engineering have had centuries or even longer to figure things out.

In software, we started with a programmable loom, stagnated for a few centuries, then all at once had tools and systems too complex to understand all of their implications.

It would be like taking apothecaries from the 1700s and putting them in the middle of a massive industrial chemical plant and hoping they make useful things that don't break easily or have design flaws.
For one, it’s probably pretty lucky the plant that makes it hasn’t exploded yet. The workers and neighbors probably benefit from knowing?
There’s a big bias in industry towards weak baselines. Rigorous evaluation is both time consuming and unrewarding prone to conversations like “you mean we could have just used off the shelf method X?!”.

A consistent theme I’ve observed is that scientists who use weak baselines and data sets which are easy enough to reach 97%+ accuracy are the most likely to be perceived as doing good science.
