I'm nearly 50, I think the Metaverse is a solution looking for a problem, but I don't hate all new tech.

I'm excited about Deno.

I really like the idea of serverless, cloud functions, and these new durable cloud objects that Cloudflare is talking about.

I'm super excited about the Steam Deck. A powerful, handheld PC running Linux, with real buttons I can click, not all just touch screens.

I can understand how Smart Watches will be cool eventually. When they are unteathered and running an open OS.

I will grudgingly admit that the stupid siri voice assist ball thing my wife bought is useful. We use it a lot for setting timers and alarms, playing music, and we are slowing finding more ways it can be useful. I can see that as Siri gets smarter, she will be more useful, so I can understand why everybody is going ape shit over AI.

I think e-bikes scooters are cool. I think EV cars will change the world significantly. I do a 15 minute commute on a scooter every day.

There is a lot of great new tech out there. VR is not one of them.
Awesome hack! For anyone wondering what the limits of this are: The 386 to Pentium (slash Pentium MMX) line use basic logic levels on their pins. There's a core voltage, and an I/O voltage, which are usually printed on the chip. With simple motherboard VRM mods, you can adapt a 386 motherboard to connect to a Pentium CPU. However, the Pentium has wide I/O busses, so trying to use a 386 in a Pentium motherboard might not work (chipset might want to use all 64 data pins, for instance).

Starting with the Pentium Pro and the Pentium II, Intel started using non-standard logic levels (which they patented). This effectively made Intel motherboards incompatible with non-Intel CPUs, and previous generations of Intel CPUs.

Other CPUs that might work in a 386 socket: AMD (up to K6-III), and various other Socket 7 CPUs (including a very rare MIPS chip!)
If you use it in a script it works, but if you "source it" to be used a command it won't work. I wonder why.
> I'm glad my university paid for it.

Does the journal pay for the academics’ time in reviewing articles? No. Does it pay for the articles themselves? Also no. What service, exactly, is the university paying all that money for?

It seems to me that the core service journals offer is as a central place for people to submit articles. And some organisation around requesting and collecting reviews.

And that sounds like the sort of thing you could replace with a website. The workflows we use for modern software development (eg on GitHub) are far more complex, maximally automated and free. And the result is source code anyone can browse, without needing any of the code to have its copyright handed over to a rent seeking middleman.

It’s crazy that academics of all people live in such a primitive ecosystem.

> NGS is programming-language-first while other modern shells are typically shell-first.

Not always no.

Even if your point were true, being programmer-first is not always a desirable feature. The vast majority of shell work is basic and repetitive. Most of the time people just want something that functions a little like Bash but less shitty for scripting. The fact that Powershell, LISP nor Python haven’t taken over the world for shell usage proves that a higher level language REPL generally makes for a shit daily shell. So usually you end up with just a small few purists using it. And that’s not really good enough.

Whereas Oil, Elvish, Murex and even Fish (to a less dramatic extent) are looking at what makes a good shell and then fixing shell scripting within that shell. Having gone through the REPL phase myself with a great many different languages and found them all painful for daily use, I’m inclined to agree with shell-first approach.

> Multiple dispatch would probably be the most prominent manifestation of this approach in NGS.

Again, NGS isn’t unique in that regard. Murex has methods, Powershell has methods. I’ve not seen anything new in NGSs “Multiple Dispatch” nor “MultiMethod” docs that other alt shells aren’t also doing.

Don’t take this the wrong way, it looks very impressive what you’re doing. But it’s not unique these days. And I say this having tried a great many options out there.

Even the question of "this dog" still misses the mark. We're talking about a social interaction between the dog and the handler that takes him home every night. The dog might be well trained to alert on the presence of drugs, but the person that dog is loyal to is the original handler and you'll never be able to design an adversarial test to separate the two of them accurately. You're essentially trying to measure if the handler deliberately committed fraud and perjury.

Generally if I see a dog on the loose I'll catch them and walk them back to their owner. I've probably caught around a dozen dogs that I was a complete stranger to and my go to method is to use their empathy against them. I'll get close enough for them to take notice of me and then shift my attention to some spot in the grass and occasionally look back at the dog, put my back to them, pretend to react to the imaginary thing in the grass, etc. I can get some dog that's never even seen me before to paw at the dirt, bark, sniff incessantly, etc it's not much of a stretch to assume that a dog's handler could do the same to the dog they spend more time with than most people get to see their pets. They never scold the dog after they alert on a vehicle that doesn't turn up drugs and I'd bet money on average they receive more praise after an alert than after not alerting.
> (And I'm aware of examples of bad research, retracted papers, etc, these are mostly issues for laypeople and the media, they have almost no impact on researchers and occur with insignificant frequency)

I think these issues occur far more frequently than is appreciated. To me, peer review is more of a facade than a filter. The vast majority of the time, the review is superficial. I think most researchers have false confidence in the quality of the reviews, and should be more skeptical of published papers.

During my PhD I spent a fair amount of time working through various papers in my field and I was surprised by how many of them had serious flaws that were unnoticed. Even highly cited papers could have major issues. For example, see this comment I put on PubPeer on a paper that is very well cited in my field: https://pubpeer.com/publications/95455FA4147A9CBD5EAA5185D21...

These errors I noticed in this paper are quite basic and I'm disappointed to apparently be the first one to notice. You don't need to do a deep analysis to notice the errors.

Now, I'm not arguing that we should eliminate peer review or anything like that. This is mostly a response to the view that bad research is uncommon and does not have a major impact on science. I personally think that peer review should be reformed, though I don't have clear ideas about how yet.

Due to the particular characteristics of the environment the person your replying to does have a point. Everything labelled ‘defense’ in space’ also has significant ‘offense’ potential. You can call it the tyranny of orbital mechanics or gravity or whatever, but nothing any military does in space can be considered purely defensive. Which is why many smart folks, especially in the US, have advocated for the complete demilitarization of space because that would actually be the most advantageous in the long run.
Yes, I get stuck in that sort of negative thinking too.

I find that getting enough sleep, eating healthy (including breakfast), limiting caffeine, stretching, avoiding social sites, and just doing "healthy" things makes it easier to respond positively.

A bit of self promotion now. I made an app called Positivelys to help make positive thinking a healthy habit. It's simple, you make a note of positive moments no matter how big of small throughout the day. Then go back and scroll through your own feed of positive moments to give yourself a pick-me-up. I made this for myself and do think it helps. It was also a fun experiment using Rust to make apps.

“No Original Research” is a rule on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research
Organizational and as a part of that access control. One of the current critical issues I see in my own work is that we have a significant amount of downstream consumers of our data and each one needs access at a different layer.

This means someone may need access to raw data, data after it's been cleaned and put in the data lake, data in an intermediate state at some point in the transformation chain, pristine fully joined master records for some data in the warehouse. Some teams shouldn't have access to certain types of data, or data earlier and later in the stack.

There's not a central way to do access control at a fine grained (row in some cases, files in others etc) level across layers and multiple services/dbs in the data stack. At least no plug and play way from what I can see. I'll be in the midst of building that layer for an entire enterprise organization soon and I expect it to be enlightening.

I'm at the same time putting in some leg work to explore how common this problem is across other companies right now for obvious reasons.

> Covid risk for people like me, and us healthy folk are a great large chunk of the population, is less than a typical flu.

Is it? There sure seem to be a lot of long-term side-effects with covid that people do not get from the “flu” (and IMO most people say they had the “flu” when really what they had was a cold.)

> Everyone’s “unscathed”

JFC. 17 covid deaths a day this week, and everyone is “unscathed”? What a terrible and false claim to have made.

I won’t dwell on the thousands—likely tens of thousands, based on the state’s cases—of your fellow citizens who didn’t die, they’re just permanently disabled. “Unscathed.” Wow.
>Good grief. It's a game for kids. Nobody needs updates. They could even take the weekend off.

I'm sorry but I think that would be very dangerous to attempt until after the population declines (naturally, per current modeling).

I am all for trying to maximize technology advancement / alienating division of labor. (This is why I spend so much time on https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/ to untangle our great open source commons and make even in it's totality it graspable!), but "everyone gets to be a farmer too" is like the hardest-to-achieve form of that, and a failed attempt could easily wipe out what nature remains.

I would much prefer to abolish all non-highly-intense agriculture and try to return as much and to parkland as possible. IMO it's no coincidence California, Korea, and Japan are all prosperous. Mountains containing developing to smaller areas greatly improve things. We need the political will to do same thing in the flat areas by fiat.
There seems to be a lot of wishful thinking in the research. The article mentions the Great Tits having 2 calls for alarm, which if made out of order have no effect, and calling that grammar. You could also call it a single call. Grammar to me means being able to construct new meaning from parts. While interesting and maybe useful, if this sort of research bears fruit I believe lots of people waxing lyrical over how amazing it will be to talk with the animals are going to be rather disappointed. Basic conversation requires a vocabulary in the hundreds, and so far it seems we are looking at word-equivalents maybe in the dozens, in the more capable species. And then you have all the concepts we take for granted except in infants, such as 'I' and 'you' and self awareness.

You might see something familiar in a longer work, “The Smatterers”, that traced the changes in thinking people and their position in the society — applicable not only to USSR around 1974, — and provided the reasoning culminating in the rule(s) stated in the link above — also applicable not only to USSR around 1974.

This.

The academics could easily solve this by publishing elsewhere. Of course that would require researchers to be judged by something other that impact factor.

At an extreme it’s like saying the Nobel Prize committee is a scam - they offer nothing of value beyond prestige yet scientists are beholden to try and impress them.

To me this is just people trying to have their cake and eat it too - they want prestigious journals to publish in, but they also want them to be free (for author and public) and easier to publish in.

They wont face blackouts, they will import electricity from elsewhere. Still, it's a great opportunity for red states to build more reliable energy capacity and sell that to the blue states, which will need to import more power from them.

If they don't do that, you will see rising prices everywhere, not just in New York, because there is a huge eastern grid, NY is not an isolated market that has to supply its own electricity.
Fun MRI fact. It should be called NMRI or short for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Wikipedia says the previous world record[1] for an MRI magnet was 11.75 Teslas. This article says this one uses 11.7 Teslas. Anyone more knowledgeable care to comment on the difference? They say a record for this volume (large enough to pass a human) but surely the other one would be that large as well?

>This does point out that the Hotel and Restaurant industry is still being hit hard.

It's also the case that my observation while traveling to a number of different places the last couple of months is that a lot of restaurants are still having trouble getting staff. I got into one (crowded) restaurant just before it was closing at 3pm on a Sunday and it wasn't reopening until Thursday. A lot of mid-week closures in the city that didn't seem to be the result of weak demand.

Now, could they just increase wages until they hire enough people? Possibly. But if it's not a coordinated effort, they'll probably lose out to a competitor and presumably higher prices have some effect on collective demand given that eating out is not a necessity in general.

I ate at another restaurant in another city that had explicitly jacked up prices considerably--like maybe 40%. It was empty even though other restaurants in the area looked pretty busy. And service was still pretty bad.
While I agree that civil forfeiture needs addressed, police theft is way worse in some places. I am currently staying in mexico city and last night I was eating dinner at a restaurant with the group I am traveling with and stepped away from my table to smoke a cigarette to avoid bothering the people around me. I had a beer my hand and was like 4ft outside of the dining area where my group was sitted eating and drinking. A cop approached me and demanded to take me to the police station for open container, unless of course I paid a him 2,000 peso. Never even bothered to ask for my id.

If your password db is so broken that it's useful to create a term to abstract attacks ("credential stuffing"), then the right answer is to actually fix that security (eg pick users passwords for them, or completely replace with email auth), rather than thinking you're raising the bar by requiring attackers to come from a residential IP.
I work in this field, I could create my own "youtube channel" about it, if I didn't have better things to do.

I mean, I live in an area like that and for the jobs I'm talking about, housing is affordable. Median household income here is about 70% of the national median, there's decent houses available for $125k (and nicer stuff available as you go up from there).
Home ownership rates in Canada are among the highest in OECD countries. Home ownership rates in the 25-44 age range are higher now than 1999.[1]

The government has several programs to “make housing more affordable” which just increases prices. Latest is a special $40k tax exempt account to grow your down payment. Government will also take an equity stake for lower income buyers.

Parents are shoveling money at their kids for down payments because “housing only goes up” and “its now or never”. Average “gift” is $180k in Vancouver for first purchase and $340k for “upgrade purchases”.[2]. Canadians as a whole are shoving cash into real estate like coal into a locomotive.
