> I would think if the point of a confidential review is for you to do anonymous work to improve someone else's credited work

This is one outcome of peer review, and is an explicit goal of (good) peer reviewers. But it's definitely not the main goal of peer review. The main goal of peer review is assessment. Improvement is something that you can strive for as a secondary outcome, but it's not the main point.

This is a significant and important contrast with code review. Peer review is NOT analogous to code review!

NB: The code review style of improvement-focused review also happens in academia! But it happens within groups rather than between groups. I.e., advisors or post-docs in single research group or university critiquing one another's work will behave more like a code review. Peer review is different.

The same is true in industry, btw. Think of peer review as the thing that happens when a regulator reviews the code from a medical device. They're not interested in making pull requests and doing your work for you. Although they do in principle want you to succeed in your goals, and might provide some feedback along those lines, they're making a yes/no decision. Different function.

> their work was improved by incorporating your feedback, you would be happy with the outcome

There are really two concerns here:

1. confidentiality, and

2. plagiarism.

The first item is probably more important than the second. The typical expectation of reviews is that they are anonymous and private unless stated otherwise (eg openreview). It's incredibly bad form to publish a private correspondence without first asking for permission.

Copying a reviewer verbatim without permission is plagiarism, but it's not really something that anyone actually cares about, per se. I've sometimes asked for permission to incorporate components of reviews verbatim into my papers, and never received anything except enthusiastic "of course". I assume the same would be true in the case above. But even in those cases I say something like: "as helpfully observed by an anonymous reviewer of this paper, [insert quote]".

The key point is that I don't go around publishing explicitly confidential correspondences without permission.

> or else why are you participating in a confidential review process in the first place?

Exactly. Confidential.

Again, surely you can see how publishing someone's confidential words is quite rude, even if the person wouldn't mind those words being published if simply asked.

> Like I said, I'm not trying to be fair and don't have the right background to be fair to you. I only speak up because I grew up in an academic family and know that there is a presumption that academic work is more idealistic, more altruistic, and less mercenary than private sector work, and I think it's worth pointing out when the reverse is true.

Academic work is all of those things in terms of goals, not necessarily in terms of process. I don't know anyone who has a passing familiarity with Academia and doesn't realize that it is incredibly competitive.

Altruism and competition are different axes.
maybe, but the difference im scale would still be the same.
I'm really curious to see how they plan to deliver system updates. Arch always makes me think of highly customized systems with per-package updates. For a little handheld with limited battery life, relatively short uptime, and a straightforward use case (so only enthusiasts who are capable of jumping through hoops are going to care whether they can install some other system-level packages), that makes very little sense. So I'm really hoping SteamOS 3 uses ostree. I haven't seen examples of people doing that with Arch, but I imagine it's quite possible.
Even as an ubuntu fan I can see I have to tweak a little my machine, at least more so than a mac or windows user.

It's stable enough for me, and I see that as the price to pay for more freedom and flexibility, but I can understand one wanting to get down to close to zero fiddling and pay premium for OSX to be done with it.
When I spent a lot of time laying in bed using a laptop, my typical position was to put my knees up and open the computer at an obtuse angle on my stomach. The only problem I’ve had with this was one time when I shifted positions and my MacBook fell forward, striking the bridge of my nose with the edge of the lid. We all know how sharp the edges are on MBPs, right? It left a 1 cm scar on my nose.

This comment is kinda true of anything. Even with WSL there are a bunch of things that "just work" better on Linux than Windows. Even with Steam there are a bunch of things that "just work" better on Windows than Mac.

I think in general finding the right tool is more about finding the thing whose inadequacies are least inconvenient to you personally rather than looking for some mythical tool that works well for everyone, in every case.
Are you trying to say that D&D is just wargaming but with dice? Or are you trying to say that D&D is just wargaming full stop, and Kriegspiel got simpler after they added dice? Either way, you can't have played much of either D&D or wargames.
Strong disagree. Living in a civilization means you have agreed to peacefully coexist with other members, and resolve disputes via due process. From there, whether you can opt out of military service or health insurance varies quite a bit within civilizations. This is where the question of "within your civilization, how free are you?" (vs. how obligated) starts to become relevant.
I think I agree with you :-)

> Unfortunately, making it (doesn't matter what "it" is) a partisan issue has been shown to work, over and over and over. It's depressingly predictable at this point. People go into all sorts of mental contortions and doublethink to explain why the stance "their" side has taken is the "right" one.

You are of course right.

But since this issue is already owned by democrats/progressives/whatever and since conservative thought leaders have painted themselves into a corner maybe I should say: we shouldn't say anything that makes it an even more partisan issue.

The more we can avoid the soreness of doing what "the other side want" and focus on "this is beneficial for me/us/"our country" - right here and now, next quarter etc the better.

This is still true and accepted military doctrine. We look for at least a 3:1 force ratio before considering attack a viable option. It's not exactly scientific and plenty of military historians have questioned the validity of this rule of thumb, but it still is the official doctrine, at least of the US Army. I can't speak for other countries.

Force ratio doesn't have to be strictly numerical, though. Offense can have better weapons, rely on element of surprise, and we also like to attack during really bad weather because it sucks a lot more to be dug in during a rainstorm than to be on the move. There's also some advantage in indirect fire in that it's easier for artillery to hit a stationary target than a moving one, so provided your artillery itself is mobile enough to survive counterbattery strikes, that goes to the offense. Unless the defense is so well dug in that artillery can't even affect it. So it depends on a lot of things.

But in general, defense always has the advantage. They get to choose where to fight, they can prepare their positions, they don't need to expose themselves.

I guess it's reversed in cyberwarfare if you want to think of it that way, but it's really not analogous. It's never been all that difficult to sneak a small surgical force inside an enemy perimeter, but you can't take and hold land that way, which is what attack versus defense force ratios are thinking of. This is more of a law enforcement thing, which has always relied on either having more cops than criminals or extremely harsh punishments. The issue here is we can't enforce the law against foreign actors if the host nation won't help. When actual Americans have been caught breaking into American computer systems, they've totally had the book thrown at them and I think that really has deterred domestically launched cyberattacks. It's not like the NSA can't find you, but if the only way to actually stop you is to send in Seal Team Six, that isn't worth starting a real war over.

When you signed up for iCloud, did you read the terms of service? They specifically require you to not to use them for illegal purposes and I’m sure they’d argue that everyone in the industry scans cloud storage and this change is only shifting when they make this check.

While it is important to be good stewards and not pollute etc, and I respect & admire the scientists and others working to help us do better -- I don't think we are competent to solve climate issues as a whole, when we can't trust each other to keep our word (so much of the time), and especially when we have rejected much specific advice of the planet's Creator.
At the same time, things can be OK for us in the long run, if we really try to learn what we should do, and do that. I would include praying, honesty, kindness and humility (willingness to learn) among those things. Really there is good reason for hope for the best; these problems are expected now.

Hello HN! I'm the author of this post and one of the co-creators for this project. We put this out as a fun community project to track prompt engineering in large Transformer models (in this case CLIP) and to showcase our Gradio panel integration. Thank you all for the support!

We were not expecting to make it to the front page, and I think our tiny community server is not able to keep up with all the requests. All your prompts are logged to a queue and processed by a GPU worker (currently just a single T4). The prompts that made it to this project will eventually be generated by the model.

We will work on a solution to handle the number of requests we're getting. In the mean time you can check out the Colab version of this project here

Heroic. But in reality you have already wasted minutes. Why is this not all automated?

I understand that this is a simulated scenairo. Maybe the situation was simplified for clarity, but really if a single machine going down leads to this amount of heroics then you should work on those fundamentals. In my opinion.

Thank you. I wasn't having any problem with the substance of your comments, just their abrasiveness. If you had posted your critique without that, it would have been great, and if you'd do that in the future, we'd greatly appreciate it.

From my perspective this isn't an LA or SV issue or anything to do with "funding systems", it's a (rather shallow) internet issue that has simply to do with the tendency of internet discussion to degenerate rapidly, which is what we're trying to avoid here. Comments that would make sense in a smaller, private context become completely different beasts on the public internet; the medium is the message, etc.

I appreciate that you meant to be helpful and there was interesting information in your comments, which I imagine everyone, including the founders, appreciated.
Very much not a fan of recent Gnome last time I tried it (some months ago). Performance is so very bad. Dropped frames everywhere (maybe blame Linux for generally having fine-grained performance that isn't exactly bad but is more variable and unpredictable than other platforms) and generally sluggish. Used to like Gnome, but back then it was much lighter than KDE, but now the tables have (much to my surprise) entirely turned.

I like the idea of pop!_os but part of the flagship experience is a big ol' Javascript extension on top of Gnome. I can't imagine I'd find that enjoyable.

Last time I had a Linux working and I didn't hate the experience was a "so small I could drown it in a tub" install/config of Void with mostly Suckless tools/programs. I find Linux to be most tolerable in those kinds of configs, these days. Doesn't do much, but what it does do actually works and behaves fairly consistently. Start trying to get fancy, and the machine begins to feel haunted in a hurry.

(X) to doubt. See original poster for statistics on animator. I have no doubt other "artist" jobs sold to youth has same pitfall.

I've talked to some "artists" and friends of before, they all say the same shit. The music industry is hard to break into. You can't paint a dollar but you can paint a house. Nobody cares if you draw nice, the reward for the effort is not there and worth the issues in your wrists, so you hope to earn enough to hire people to do it for you.

> than the rest of the chimp troupe.

The artist in your caricature is a dressed up chimp paid to paint then I guess.

> The rest have no hope really other than to claim their salaries justify whatever meaningless shit they are made to do.

Ah ye olde it's-all-meaningless shtick. I and others work for our salaries doing interesting things and enjoy it. To turn your projection back to you, it sounds like you were not a capable in finding a route of a corporate energy draining trap. Perhaps you should become an artist?
> The parts of it being uploaded to iCloud, not the whole thing, yes?

If you leave your phone on default settings, that’s all of them. In fact you need to turn off a lot of things. Turn off backups, Photo Stream, Files, Mail Drop, album sharing (make sure you don’t accept any invites to shared albums or you will get flagged) and I’m sure there are more iCloud integrations I’m not aware of.

It’s actually quite hard to not use iCloud, by design.
I have been saying this for years now. The gov’t is basically outsourcing violating the constitution to companies. Free speech? Just have Twitter, Facebook and Google censor unacceptable speech. 4th amendment? Have the private sector violate it. Easy peasy.
fair enough, the 3 groups I summarized cover the most general cases I've seen. There is certainly more nuance in real life than can be captured in a HN's comment's worth of categorization.
> almost all of them in China

Shocker.
Yet even with all that cheap coal power, Chinese emissions per capita are much lower than those of the USA, Canada or Australia.

If course the majority of these cities are in China, they're some of the most densely populated areas on the planet, located in a country that is still developing its economy.

It's true that the rise of new and old economies such as those of China or India are bad for the environment as billions of people reach the same levels of wealth, luxury and emissions the West has enjoyed for decades, but as the richest economies in the world, the Western bloc should really be at the forefront of green energy and pollution reduction. Yet today these countries still stand out at the top of the charts, together with (other) oil economies.

China hasn't stood still either in the past few years, and despite its measures to combat smog and power shortages, will probably see an increase in emissions as more people get access to more technology.

China clearly doesn't have the environment in mind, but neither does the US. You paint a picture of the US improving massively while China worsens, but neither country really cares about their emissions. If anything, the Trump administration was proof that (nearly) the majority of America doesn't want to reduce carbon emissions.

Until China reaches the CO2 emissions per capita of the US, I don't think any comparison between the two is fair. Whether that's because of infinite growth on the Chinese side of the equation or because of long overdue carbon emission cuts from the American side doesn't matter.

I think sailing into the wind works because you divide the force of the wind into components twice. Dividing into components first one way and then another lets you pull some tricks.

The first time comes from the sail, you divide the wind into a component flowing along the sail (doing nothing), and one that is perpendicular to it (pushing it)

Then you take the perpendicular-to-the-sail part and divide that into a side-ways (drift) and a forwards component (propulsive). The side ways one is neutralized by the keel.

Btw I kinda wonder if a rotatable keel tuned just right would allow sailing right into the wind...

No, of course, not, grid is a fundamental structure in graphic design. It will vary on the design of course, but https://gridless.design uses a design grid for a very clear purpose.

How China is driving global green shift in electric power sector

https://reneweconomy.com.au/china-driving-global-green-shift...

The question arises: which country (or countries) has been driving this global green shift in electric power generation? The answer is clear as soon as we look at the comparable charts for China. We carried these charts in the earlier blog posting, but reproduce them here for ease of comparison.

Chart 3 reveals that the proportion of China’s electric power capacity sourced from WWS rose from 20% in 2007 to 35% in 2017 (1H) – or a 15% swing in a decade.

And the shift is of exactly the same form as the global shift revealed in the IEA data, making it an inescapable conclusion that China is the driver of the world trend.
