I'm a phil grad too, and agree. Too many inaccessible dry canonical texts. And no mention of Quine! I'd pick texts that animate the subject; with motivation the classics become more accessible. So for PhilSci I'd have Feyerabend's Farewell to Reason, for PhilMathLogic, Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach. Quine's Essays covers logic, metaphysics, logic and language. And to keep things up to date I'd put Bostrom's Simulation argument.
The reviews for JOSS happen on github[0] but the journal's not prescriptive about how you develop your package as long as the code is public. The criteria for the JOSS review are very clear[1].

I don't want to oversell the depth of the code review possible; not all of the reviewers will be fully expert in whatever tiny cutting-edge area the package is for (making correctness checks difficult beyond the test suite), and most of us are academics-who-code rather than research software engineers. But the fact it's happening at all is a great step forward.

Medicines for when people get sick are great. Everybody loves those. However this medicine doesn't work for this sickness, as has been shown here, in this very study.

How do you jump from a scientific study telling you something doesn't work, to "open mindedness about anti viral treatments"? Ivermectin is ley-lines and crystals for the 21st century.
Working at Prometheus Research Labs – Bring Fire to DeFi
blueatlasrobotics.com | Software Generalist | Denmark | onsite

Blue Atlas Robotics builds underwater robots that autonomously survey ships and other large underwater structures using computer vision as primary navigation.

We are looking for a strong software generalist with an interest in robotics and computer vision.

Our stack is written in C++/Python and runs on an embedded Nvidia Xavier system. We've demonstrated a prototype and are looking to put a unit into customer hands mid 2022, and there is no shortage of work to do. In addition to underwater SLAM and navigation, areas include high throughput networking for video streaming, topside UI, automation of startup and restart procedures, etc. There is possibility for crossover with EE and mechanical if that is your interest.

We're flexible with requirements so long as you can demonstrate CS fundamentals and an ability to deliver software (English is a hard requirement). Feel free to email me directly, carl@blueatlasrobotics.com

We can accommodate remote for a few months, but the expectation is that this is an onsite position.

If vaccine safety can't be established by anything but time, than debate definitionally cannot inform us about the safety of vaccines. Vaccines can not only be unexpectedly dangerous in the long term, they can also theoretically be unexpectedly protective, and we can't know without waiting.

I've seen no evidence of /r/thenewnormal advancing scientific research in any way, and arguably they are having the effect of having amateurs direct research priorities due to phenomena like them promoting ivermectin leading to a surge in poisoning cases and thus scientific interest. The presence of "debate" does not nessecarily advance the scientific process, debate can be rhetorical sophistry that hardly achieves the same end as for instance peer review.

The best argument I can think of for allowing such communities is to put mainstream science in a position where they MUST respond to heterodox scientists or risk the public heeding their concerns and not getting vaccinated etc. etc. I don't think this is an incredibly convincing argument either, since it's a rather costly way to enforce sufficient scepticism, and it's disputable if it's nessecary.
I work and play on Linux. Sure, I screw around a lot on Arch and Clear, but my mainstay is Manjaro. Once a week something pops up but it's expected because I tinker a lot. Debian is totally fine for real-life situations.
>the faster path to good marks was optimising for answering exam questions rather than a deep intuitive knowledge of the subject.

Right. This is the bane of our educational system i.e. they prioritize for "grading" rather than "understanding". I have met many who were considered smart/genius because of their good grades or where they graduated from but with regular interaction turned out to be pretty average in their understanding. They have simply optimized their "Social Signal".
There's more, perhaps more relevant in countries with more than 2 mainstream parties. There's a "hey this is a viable idea, look at how many people are supporting it" kind of thing.

For example in local elections in the UK, plenty of people put up a little poster thing for their candidate. I definitely had my attention drawn to candidates I considered no-hopers and gave them a second look. I wouldn't have if I thought they have no support otherwise.

I think this is a bit different to simply repeated advertising. There is also a component of "join us, we're a cool community [of people voting for X], it's OK". Think about, more so in the past, people were often reluctant to admit they are voting for a populist candidate. Stickers can bring such "uncool" candidates into the mainstream.
Nobody can prove that they stop...
Why should I read these decades, centuries, millennia old books as a beginner [1]? In no other field are beginners asked to read old primary texts.

This is my general criticism of philosophers [2] and the way they have constructed their discipline. In physics/biology/economics/etc a super smart person comes along and does some excellent work. Then later on, other smart people learn the stuff and build upon it, and rewrite it to make it better. Modern textbooks on General Relativity are an order of magnitude better than what Einstein wrote. Why has no one understood Nietzsche, and written a better and more understandable version of Nietzsche's work? And why is everyone not reading that?

[1] I have read some/part of the books you mention.

[2] As a physics phd, I have engaged in and enjoyed and found useful practical philosophy around issues of epistemology.

One learns quickly in software development not to trust people who say "let's just put this hack in to get the demo out of the way; we'll clean it up later". Later never comes; today's prototype is tomorrow's production.

I'd have thought people would be more cautious with actual physical engineering when lives are at risk, but I guess the incentives are the same everywhere.
Many other fields also suffer, maybe not from image right fees but from open access journal fees (many journals request $1000-$2500 if you want the PDF to be freely available on the Web). In some places, not all teaching is paid (Germany has a law that after passing one's habilitation - a sort of second Ph.D. thesis and exam that gives the venia legendi or right to teach -, in order not to lose it, one has to teach at least one hour per term every year, but there is no right for compensation; universities of applied sciences have teaching quota but preparing a lecture is not accounted for only holding it).

The situation is bad, but there won't be a solution because the system does not receive collective pressure to initiate change: instead, individuals are willing to pick up the cost, and if one drops out, there's 50 waiting in line to take their place.

In other fields, unions fight for the rights of workers; academics have not yet come up with the idea to team up and to take collective remedial action.

You don't pay them to have safe passage through their territory.

It's not their territory, similarly to how guerrilla groups in Columbia/Nepal do not own the Jungle/Himalaya/etc, and you don't get a choice whether you want their protection. If you brought your own armed man with you, you will get fired upon.

There where/are rubbers in Europe and in the USA, and we call them "rubbers"/"criminals". Why all of a sudden when we're discussing an "exotic" tribe we can't call it what it is?
and again I'm emphasizing that not all Bedouin tribes practic(ed) violent rubbery, but some really did(do), and it was/is really nothing like taxation.

If we want to discuss a general claim that rubbery is the same as taxation, that's fine (and I disagree), but there is no reason to drag a specific type of rubbers into focus.

I think one did benefit me, although indirectly. This is an old old story. I had a macbook which suddenly developed a GPU problem. The computer was so old that it was way out of waranty, but I learned that apple is voluntarily offering to fix computers with this specific problem even if they are out of warranty. My belief is that this program was born out of a class-action suit. (Though I am unable to find proof of that right now.) Basically, if i remember it right, the lawsuit forced apple to admit that this is indeed a manufacturing defect and thus I got my GPU fixed for free.
It's also ridiculously difficult to blind someone with a laser from far away.

Assuming a ~$200 fan-cooled 5w engraving laser with an excellent collimating lens focused at infinity, 1mrad divergence, the irradiance would fall off within 500m to a level below any permanent harm (let alone permanent damage in less than a second). This is by the FAA's very conservative standard of 2.5mW/cm^2, which is about 1/50th of the irradiance of direct sunlight. Within 500m, you'd need to be able to aim the beam very precisely to maintain the narrow cone of light to within 1mrad of the victim's pupil. Your hands are too shaky, you'd need something like a motorized telescope mount with active tracking.

The risks pilots bear when assholes shine bright lights at their windshield are distraction, glare and temporary 'flashblindness', where your rods and cones lose their low-light adaptation as they adjust to the briefly intense brightness level, and gradually recover over 10s of seconds. These are real risks, but it's not 30km lightsaber beams frying pilots' retinas for $3.99.
They definitely don't sell 1,000 McFlurries a day. Assuming they fulfill one order every 30 seconds, and McFlurries are reasonably purchased between noon and midnight (never heard of a breakfast McFlurry). That's 1,440 orders per day. McFlurries are not going to have a 70% attach rate.
Strange that a law firm has to represent consumers for a major manufacturer fault like this.

Here in Australia, we have consumer laws that protect us from this kind of defect. They will ensure that as a consumer, I would receive a complete and full refund for an event like this- many times over if necessary. This kind of cost to the manufacturer creates the appropriate motivation to remedy.
It seems that increasingly, companies are asking users to break the golden rules of security they once preached (or are breaking them for users).

Once they were told to never under any circumstances share their password with anyone else. Now they're expected to tell whether it's OK to share their password with a third party website or not. To the non-technical user, they were doing something else, then were asked for their banking login. They weren't trying to log into the bank, so their vulnerability to phishing is slowly increased by this pattern.

Similarly with "don't click links in emails you don't trust" - now we have security notification and email verification links to approve logins arriving, requiring users to click within 5 minutes to approve logins. Breaking the "don't fall for time pressure" rule too that users used to be trained with.

Even their email client is most likely hiding the email address of the sender and focusing on the (self-declared) sender name, and some are now masking the destination of URLs when hovered over (Outlook protection), to make it near impossible for a user to tell what they're clicking.

Back to banks, it definitely is a poor workflow and I share the same concern even where oauth style workflows are concerned - users likely can't tell if it's the real bank website or not, so they're being trained to divulge their credentials on demand. This will help attackers over time, as users become even more willing to share this kind of information upon request!
I've never owned an apple product that didn't have a defect, and I've owned nearly one of each at some point or another. Unfortunately I am in India and there are essentially no consumer protections here, plus we pay about 30% more for the same product. Hope my M1 laptop survives.

Anyways, I wanted to ask a few questions, if I may:

1. Why is listmonk AGPLd? It doesn't look like listmonk is core to Zerodha (even if it is released on your personal GitHub) and so curious about the licensing, because MIT/Apache could have done just as nicely, especially since xGPLv3 software is pretty much a no at most tech firms.

2. How do you decide if a repo is going to land on knadh vs zerodha GitHub?

3. Any plans to take it fully serverless with Aurora Serverless + Fargate or fly.io, for examples.

Thanks.
I think fixed camera is better for non-action rpg, than follow-behind-the-back.

Games like Xenoblade and Ninokuni have beautiful and creative graphics, yet you basically play them in the minimap.

Fixed camera in cities and inside could help the art director show off the beauty and creativity (look at the crazy camera angels in The World Ends With You: neo - it really adds a lot to the experience of the game), and make those areas simpler to navigate, so you wouldn't need to follow the arrow in the minimap, but actual navigate the city yourself.

Doing all the homework on time mostly eliminated the bubbling panic that threatened to overwhelm me when compressing for exams. I still have unpleasant dreams themed with endless variations on that. I told my dad about this, and he laughed and said they were common, and were dubbed the "examination dream".

I've never needed anyone to analyze my dreams :-)

But this persistent dream makes me feel empathy for combat vets with PTSD dreams. It must be infinitely worse for them.

With many pictures I instantly got the feeling of what the movie is without really realising why. Could this be because the AI is probably trained with human made pictures from ex. flickr (in most cases after the movie), so the AI will generate pictures that basically resemble how people see/remember the movies?

For example the very strong color scheme in Miami Vice, which is basically 100% something that emerged in popular culture after the movie.

So when the AI is generating the pictures based on the plot, could it be deep down generating the pictures partly based on how we people remember the movie?

I don’t know how many folks really know how much money is spent by big (and medium and small) companies on sending email but I can tell you it is considerable. My last job was a small retailer and we spent maybe 2m a year just on platform costs and at my current role it’s closer to 200m (USD). There are some places where it probably makes sense to use one of the vendors. But I think a carefully architected custom solution like this could get most organizations where they need to be. I’m just not sure how much the talent costs. Do AWS experts charge a premium? Or would it just be cheaper to buy Acoustic and let the account team handle all the work.
Go and watch the film "Erin Brockovich". It's (in my, and many people's opinion) a good film, and people involved say it's fairly accurate.

To me it shows what class actions are for -- a serious pollution incident which effected many people, but required a huge court case against a huge company to deal with. Many people recieved 6 figure sums, enough to move away and pay for medical care.

It isn't a prefect story -- PG&E should have arguably paid even more, given the fact they basically poisoned an entire town, and knew about it for years.

Physically, the design of the M1 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are very similar to the 2020 Intel MacBook models. Presumably they share a lot of the same case and display parts, so I’m surprised if this issue affects only the M1 models and not their predecessors!

(IFixit even said “internally, they could hardly be any more similar to their predecessors. The new 13” MacBook Pro looks so familiar inside, we had to double-check that we didn’t accidentally purchase the old model.”):

https://www.ifixit.com/News/46884/m1-macbook-teardowns-somet...

Were there any changes to the display or case on the M1 models that might have caused them to become more fragile?
Not the guy you replied to, but I'd had my eye on Conduit for a while--after going deep down the rabbit hole dealing with Synapse, I'd given up on self-hosting Matrix for the time being and waiting for Conduit or something similar to get far enough along.

After seeing the announcement, went and got it deployed out in like an hour (would've been less but I spent 45 minutes compiling because I'm running FreeBSD).

The whole process was super easy. I'll have to play a bit more tomorrow--if I can figure out how to get stickers or something working I can probably convince at least my wife to move our conversations off of Telegram.
I hope Telegram adopts Matrix (alongside or instead of their own protocol). Their clients (on linux/windows/android) are really an exemplar of how should a refined snappy cross-platform app should be written.
Yeah. When there was a hinge crack issue with Macbooks way out of warranty, Apple swapped it for free. This was maybe 7 years ago.

How old was the product at that time?
I think the community would welcome banning paywall links.

Though this site isn't really for the community, it's for feeding into ycombinator. And making them more socially relevant to normal tech communities.
Both this and the second part are already out.
I can give 2:

1. A totally undefined concept making no sense to say it exists as well as to say it doesn't.

2. The ability of a person to consciously observe, question and disobey what they feel. The degree in which a person is capable of this varies between different people and different circumstances.
Well, this resonates with myself ( sorry, I know ).

I am Dutch and in NL, but acquired an 'original' Trump 2016 MAGA shirt ( a friend brought it from the US ).

I am not pro-Trump, but also not anti-Trump, while normal civilized discourse in my town of 'progressives' is Orange man bad. I enjoy the apparent tension the whole subject seems to generate.

I proudly wear the shirt, which is seen as brave by my friends : it could get me in trouble, but I am a big, assertive guy.

The shirt makes people speak up who would have never spoken up given the climate. Some are pro-Trump and some are not anti-Trump, some are US citizens. It definetly brings out the dynamic you are referring to.

Well, there, I said it.
My own very minor gripe is with the maps component.

Because it uses OpenStreetMap as a map source it doesn't show any settlements larger 250,000 for my area because those settlements call themselves "towns" and not "cities".

When you zoom out all you see is a blank space with no labels for quite a large area of the screen.

Meanwhile very small settlements (< 20K people) are shown at max zoom just because they happen to have the right kind of church building, which in the UK means they can call themselves "cities".

I've raised this issue with OpenStreetMaps support for many years and they just either say it's something to be fixed by client libraries or it's not important.

They could be right I guess. However, Goople maps, Apple maps and Microsoft maps handle this correctly and that's what OpenDesktop explicitly say they are trying to replace here.
Well, it is not perfect system. Scale of Apple is such that these actions are probably just calculated risk for them.

It is probably cheaper for them to absorb these than improve r&d and production and pay in delaying product launch. And it seems the market is quite inflexible - most people seem to absolutely have to buy it even if it breaks if you look the wrong way at it.

Normally repeated class actions should discourage customers, but Apple seems immune to it.

Though I would like to see honest numbers of how many units are affected with which fault, then compare to competition.

Maybe it is just the case that Apple customers are louder with their demands because the loss was more financially painful to them.
Success, and/or a guillotine.
