On the contrary, stuff like this happens because of a business model that SAVES the taxpayer hundreds of millions.

In CS at least, we pay grad student research assistants close to nothing relative to their worth. And then we work them to the bone. In exchange, students like these ones are allowed to do whatever they want in their free time in betweeen working on actually funded projects.

If you can find an alternative model that allows me to hire kids who have 200k offers at 30k-40k and get 50+ hours of work out of them, please let me know.

Even if these kids work on these projects during the 9-5 day — and I kind of doubt it, these are all probably “fucking around in the lab at 1030pm” projects — we’re still getting a killing by calling them students instead of SWEs.

I’ve advised exactly zero students who didn’t have multiple offers in the 200s when they started their phd, and never paid more than 45k. They could spend like most of their time on BS and I’d still be getting an amazing deal.

Kids using their free time to do stupid/fun projects in between working for the taxpayers at a REALLY FUCKING STEEP discount is not an example of government waste. And if you start getting greedy by treating phd students like civil servants, well, better also be willing to pay six figures and a pension. Spoiler: you’re not going to save money.

I think that the "tight cubbyholes" is a bit of a strawman (in general, not that you're using it as such. Its absolutely how these ideas are often presented in the mainstream).

I know a lot of feminist/anti-racist/queer activists. None of them are trying to put people into tight cubbyholes. They are actually all pushing for greater awareness of how people don't fit into these cubbyholes. The whole idea of intersectionality* (which is foundational in modern "woke" politics) is based on this.

The tight cubbyholes aspect is often either a strawman presented by people who are against making changes (at the softest end, or actively hateful at the hardest).

Or is something that the powers that be (managers, politicians, whatever) insist on when they implement any changes. Often these are either against what activists are calling for or a begrudged concession to bureaucracy and data collection.

The data analysis aspect is unfortunately important. In an ideal world it wouldn't be, but thats not where we are. It doesn't just highlight outright bigotry, but inadvertant discrimination (eg only holding interviews at times which inadvertantly don't work for people (often women) with child care responsibilities), or even problems beyond an organisation (eg the pipeline issue).

*Intersectionality is about recognising all the different aspects of a person's identity and the different ways that they priviledge/disadvantage them in different circumstances. It was explicitly developed by black women who were being let down by both black support systems which all targeted at black men, and women's support networks which targeted white women. They recognised that just adding a "black women" box only addressed the immediate issue so built a framework to analyse the Intersection of identities more generally.

> Real 1984 shit

???

Hypothetical scenario - Real 1984 shit would be to get a tax bill prefilled from the government to get you to sign on a dotted line. If you want to contest it, you'll need to hire lawyers but most refuse to work with you. Average citizen is left to defend themselves which is an impossibility. Sign on the dotted line or get arrested.

Folks, we need to go towards an open source route. Not put more power in the hands of a massively incompetent government.
This is great for projects where management or tracking of some sort is done from a public Google spreadsheet. Here's some examples where I've put it to use.

Here's a project where I sent in a PR that was merged to display annotation progress and put a badge atop a README, traditional:

https://github.com/commaai/comma10k/pull/2767

Here's a wiki entry using it to display the current number of bounty contributors and bounty amount ($8K+!):

https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/wiki/Toyota-Lexus#2021-...

If you're organizing something for your community using a spreadsheet, maybe consider using Cell Shield to put a little badge backed from a cell in that spreadsheet somewhere visible.
It looks like they outperform the general market and hedge funds, probably not a bad idea: https://www.barrons.com/articles/SB5000142405311190443360457...
Judging by how cross-platform was done before Electron, the macOS app would probably lag way behind and Linux users would get nothing at all.
The "Why?" is literally right there, in a big bold heading, directly under the goals: https://crystal-lang.org/api/1.1.0/

Crystal is a programming language with the following goals:

Have a syntax similar to Ruby (but compatibility with it is not a goal)
Statically type-checked but without having to specify the type of variables or method arguments.
Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it in Crystal.
Have compile-time evaluation and generation of code, to avoid boilerplate code.
Compile to efficient native code.

Why?
We love Ruby's efficiency for writing code.
We love C's efficiency for running code.
We want the best of both worlds.
We want the compiler to understand what we mean without having to specify types everywhere.
We want full OOP.
Oh, and we don't want to write C code to make the code run faster.
This sound's like tabs-vs-spaces. Either 1 or 2 should be fine, and the document itself should have a convention that's auto applied, or the viewer can choose how much horizontal space to show for a period.

In internet text, I don't know that I've noticed one way or the other, using 1 myself.
The most powerful idea in management is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_(development)

which doesn't tell you what to prioritize, but does address how much you can prioritize. There is only so much "work in progress" you can handle so you have to limit what you commit to do and put the rest in a backlog and not do anything about it.

Longer term I have three "side projects", (1) one of which is real and very active, (2) another one is kinda speculative and I'd like to have done before the weather gets bad, and (3) another one that seems like science fiction but I might get to in two years and depends on (1) and (2) establishing a portfolio to get the allies I need.
Ok. If they offer Python without the GIL then I'm all ears :)

Is it superior? I have seen people on YouTube wrapping the connectors in wet rags in order to cool it down enough to charge at maximum watts.

I've never used one, our Audi is CCS but we have never had to resort to any antics even in 110f weather.
Yeah, but that doesn't seem to have helped much to keep the Vulkan API small and tidy, instead there are dozens (or maybe hundreds by now?) of vendor-specific extensions.
Speaking of namedtuple, I would encourage anybody who uses Python and wants to learn a thing or two to read the source code for them. At least one of the things you learn should probably fall in the "what not to do" category. There's a lot going on in there to support all that magic you see from the outside, and it's a little scary in there.
Here you go. Happened in 2013 under Obama:

But on Monday, when the president signed a bill reversing big pieces of the law, the emailed announcement was one sentence long. There was no fanfare last week either, when the Senate and then the House passed the bill in largely empty chambers using a fast-track procedure known as unanimous consent.

Except there already is rarity in retro games. There are games with "Only 13 copies are known to exist" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Raid_(1982_video_game) - this one sold for mere $16K at the same auction. Then you have your classic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_World_Championships with ~90 in circulation $180K at same auction. They all got outbid by the most common games ever released on the platform.
I think that is what they are implying with this information.
I think there is a pretty big base of people who do big data work using Numpy and Pandas (Fintech, etc). They want to squeeze every bit of computing power out of the specific Intel chipset, GPUs, etc and Intel's distro really helps them out.

A 10% speed improvement on 1000's of jobs could in theory save you a nice chunk of time. This becomes very important in the financial market where you need batch jobs to be finished before markets open, or you just want to save 10% on your EC2 bill.

Of course, they are a huge market. You can do it with most brokers including robinhood.

Not only can you buy options, you can also write the contract and sell it on the market.
All the critics lobbing cynicism against Bezos, Branson, and Musk saying, in essence, that their money is better spent here at home reminds me of a wonderful scene from The West Wing when one character asks why we have to go to Mars:

"'Cause it's next. For we came out of the cave, and we looked over the hill, and we saw fire. And we crossed the ocean, and we pioneered the West, and we took to the sky. The history of man is hung on the timeline of exploration, and this is what's next."

I personally don't care that these billionaires are spending their money on vacations to orbit. It's how we get to the moon and Mars and how we survive as a species. It's what's next.
I think that a lot, perhaps most, AI diagnoses would involve a feedback loop that tracks the patient's health outcomes.

Here are some examples of feedback:
- The AI misses a cancer that gets worse and is later detected on a blood test.
- The AI detects a cancer on an x-ray but a (more accurate) CT or biopsy indicates that there is no cancer

These kinds of feedback loops should allow the clinical performance of AI to be measured and hopefully improved over time.

Interesting. My anecdotal experience with modafinil is that I get extreme anxiety and elevated heart rate without any additional focus benefits. In fact, it detriments my ability to focus.

Adderall on the other hand, while stimulating and euphoric, gets the job done. But it works so well that I have trouble focusing without it now. I’ve tried tapering off multiple times but always go back to it when my work quality suffers and I’m not contributing to tasks that my team needs done.
Yes, deeply suspicious, I was trying to split the difference and not get political. I think it’s terrible. Members of Congress should not be allowed to own, trade, or have anything to do with the stock market. I always heard a rumor that members of Congress are always richer when they leave than when they entered. That should really piss Americans off, but it doesn’t depending on which party is in power, and which party that person subscribes to.

Playwright's CLI is a great tool. I think Headless Recorder brings a better UX and fast recording workflow. It does not need to load a custom browser, just use your own chronium based browser of your choice and start recording with the extension
Because these people are corrupt and want to make money. Its basically as simple as that.
IMO, this « New » paradigm worked best in the past (on Windows 9x) when Explorer was a simple and comprehensive abstraction around « Desktop / Folders / Files ».

Windows explorer evolved from a user friendly implementation of a simple abstraction to a complex file management tool with buttons and menus everywhere. Once you start installing programs, the context menu starts to be bloated and incomprehensible, the ribbon toolbars is full of useless buttons for the vast majority of end users, files organisation is a mess with virtual folders right from the fresh install …

« New > » was a nice and comprehensive feature I could explain to my grandmother two decades ago when this thing was just a window holding files. Now I wouldn’t even try to explain her how she could use that tool.

I have the strange feeling that, as things goes, personal computing is more and more complex.
Yes, per server, thanks for the correction. I believe it’s on by default, I’ve rarely seen it turned off.
Warren Buffet has not had much luck since the Goldman Sachs investment in 2008. If anything, he's had a few investments flop (IBM, Kraft Heinz) and missed out on a ton of growth from not being in tech. I assume BRK is keeping up with the market due to its significant AAPL holdings.

Computer Science Professor Wins ‘Test of Time’ Award for Influential Paper
America is a plutocracy. Congress people (or their family) making money from their influence is about American as apple pie and pickup trucks.

It takes money to get elected and stay elected, so rich people get elected. While they take advantage of their political power while elected to make money, they also make money after being elected as well, through speaking and other means. The whole point of this process is to make money. Again, American, we like money.

So if you don't like all this, you're a socialist and bad person. Shame on you for being so un-American. Instead get some money and join the party!
> “The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false,” the manual explains. “Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuates ‘objectivity.’“

Yes from coffee. I was almost at a pot/day and it was not helping.
A professor is someone who speaks with the authority of their associated institution, whether they or the institution wants it that way. In that respect, a professor can drain the credibility of an institution faster than they can repair it, as is typically the case with credibility anywhere. And in this case, then-professor Francesca Viola logged in with her official institutional email.

Speaking her mind was the not the issue. The issue is draining the credibility of the institution. The academic institution she hails from, Temple University, has their own interests to watch out for, she did not sue them.

If that's their preference, they should have stayed on the normal rate plan, which offers exactly that. I think the issue is misleading or fraudulent salespeople talking people into buying something they don't understand, rather than the realtime rate offering itself.

An "option" is a generic name for a contract that gives you the option of doing something in the future. The stock options employees get as part of their compensation and the options stock traders deal in (a financial instrument) are very specific forms of those kinds of contracts.
There's always that one person that questions that claim. Just look around. What goods and services can you actually get in exchange for most crypto? Very little. What is the most common thing ransomware and cybercriminals demand as payment? Crypto.

It's not like it's dominated by it - what makes us the largest part of crypto usage is speculative investors and bots. But as for the rest, it's clearly not normal people buying burgers, that's for sure.

The really interesting thing to me about this announcement is that it's the first time I think I've ever heard about such a large gift being given to individuals, instead of a foundation or non-profit. Curious if Bezos is just testing to see if this type of philanthropy has better results.

I'm also interested in the logistics of a gift this large. I mean, Bezos would have to pay a large gift tax for gifts sent directly to individuals. Obviously he can afford it, but curious if there was some attempt to save on taxes if the end desire is for all of this money to go to charity.

Sure most suicide attempts aren’t done this way but I think statistics like this showcase how many suicides are irrational on some level. If it was rational then you’d think they wouldn’t immediately regret it (unless the regret is irrational I guess).

Plus some of these authorities, while well versed in some topics, are not reliable in others. For example, Uncle Bob is a minefield -- knowledgeable in some topics, but also very stubborn and tends to preach about topics he knows little about, like functional programming (preach against in this particular case, with a heavy dose of strawmanning).
I haven't really. I switched to Oatmilk, because I was getting stomach cramps about once a month. Still haven't figured out if the milk was causing it, because it happened again after the switch. Maybe its something in the coffee, maybe the pesticides they use or maybe I don't clean the coffee machine frequently enough. I drink as many as 5 cups in day. So I'm might have a bit of a problem.
Previously he's been known for being openly communist (i.e. not just a regular socialist).
