> smart capable educated people choosing to do machine learning instead of physics is not social issue

It definitely is a social issue, the main reason people make that switch is money and money is a social issue. Why would you make less money doing physics research than helping advertisers better manipulate people? There is no reason, currently society rewards the later more than the former, but in another society it could be the other way around.

So the problem isn't if you as an individual choose to switch field since you'd like that field better, but all those who switched since that field pays better. That is the social issue.
The virtualization option mentioned here, before discussing the native option, is QEMU via the UTM app.

I have played a bit with UTM as an emulator, to run x86_64 virtual machines. Emulation is a lot slower than hardware virtualization. No surprise.

UTM/QEMU can also run arm64 machines, but I don't know the best configuration for optimal performance.

The commercial virtualization product Parallels works great for me, but your virtual machines need to be arm64, not x86.
No, first of all, there is a screenshot in the article showing high memory pressure. That needs to be taken into account by your analysis of the author's intentions and understanding.

Second, I have one of the new new systems with a lot of RAM and when WindowServer takes up 20-30GB of RAM, and other apps take up 2-10GB more than they should, I see high memory pressure. There are other reports of this. Don't extrapolate too much from one screenshot showing a system shortly after reboot.

It's possible that most of the bloat from this bug gets pushed to swap and harmlessly stays there until reboot, to leave space in DRAM for actually useful application memory, but the typical user doesn't have guarantees of this based on the instrumentation available to them.
Why would twitter trust the Location header and not just parse the URL given to them? This seems like a strange choice to rely on their backend lookup just to display the URL...

I recently accepted a position with 20% lower pay, because the work is more interesting, challenging and rewarding.
Yeah, I'm currently going through the process of getting a mortgage for a property in Tokyo. I'm also interviewing about a potential job - nothing unusual there, moving around every 2-4 years is common in the software industry.

I was told in no uncertain terms by my real estate agent "Do not move company until your loan is approved. You're already impacted by the fact you work for a foreign company, and you will probably get declined if you start somewhere new."

The fact that I'd likely be looking at a substantial raise and therefore be in a better position to pay off any mortgage is irrelevant, the bank just cares about stability.

UnrealScript is on the way out but Unreal is still written in C++ so I guess he's still waiting for the next mainstream programming language.
That said, rewriting a game engine in a completely new language sounds like a tough task, even if the new language solves a lot of problems.

Do you have any examples of this? I haven't been able to find a ton of examples of lawyer/programmers whose careers combine these areas of expertise explicitly.
Typing notes is probably the worst way to encode things into your memory. There's been plenty of research on this and I'm not going to regurgitate it here, but the process of handwriting notes does a lot to help you remember things even if you never look at those notes again. There are people with disabilities that prevent them from handwriting notes, but everyone else is better served by handwritten notes.

In a world without MacOS, I'd probably be running Linux on a really beefy Windows machine under virtualization, for work. Desktop Linux is so much more stable and pleasant to use in a VM with Windows or MacOS handling the actual hardware. Still a bit unstable, but not nearly as bad.

I think it's also an American rural vs urban south thing.

In general, everyone in urban southern areas is "busier" and more brusque than their rural neighbors. However, southern politeness still demands a token hospitality even to strangers, so you get a weird twilight of warmly-greeted, but coldly-helped.

More rural, and people have (or take) more time. Someone will have no complaint talking about local trivia with you for an hour or more.
I'm dailying Wayland on Ubuntu, but it feels like there's always a "it'll be really good soon" promise to Wayland.
One of my favorite sci-fi books of all time. What makes it so good is how the author manages to get you to see the world through the (many) eyes of the Portia spider, and evolve it they get uplifted.

The use of ants is pure genius.

The sequel, Children of Ruin, is likewise compelling, but lacks some of the finesse and mystique of the first book.
That your mind equates speaking freely to poking a bear says a lot. What makes you feel safe? Someone else being paid by your taxes to have the arsenal of guns?
Indeed. Roaming planets was my favourite part of the game, which gave the game a sense of a huge galaxy and a sense of venturing into the unknown. Also, those open environment were the only setting in all three games where using a sniper rifle was justified. 2&3 just felt so confined to linear corridor levels.
>>I prefer to hire people who are EXCITED about the challenges they will face in the job.

Anybody who looks excited about things they they have no stake in is just pretending and is likely a ace imposter.

> Can you please explain what exactly you get from the Apple desktop you don't with any of those options?

A more cohesive experience across the desktop and applications, eg.:

- The look and feel is uniform. Admittedly somewhat less so, these days now that the Apple Human Interface Guidelines are largely ignored.

- Mac apps and generally more stable.

- Mac apps generally have more features.

- The Mac apps I use generally tend to tie into the hardware (hw acceleration, drivers, etc) much better. The benefit of controlling the vertical, I suppose.

- The keyboard shortcuts both exist and are the same across apps.

- The design patterns.

- The AppleScript/x-callback-url, etc).

- Third party apps generally tend to fit well into the above.

On Linux, almost everybody seems to have their own ideas on how an app should be arranged. With full desktop environments, like GNOME and KDE lessen this, but it's still really, really common.

That said, my money is still on Linux and other open source OSes, because I don't want a single company telling me what I can and can't do.

>A colleague runs a Linux machine with 16GB of ram. Compiling the same project can cause OOM issues for him and the kernel starts whacking processes.

Which distro and can't you configure this? (Genuinely interested)

Also if the MacBook is better, than you should use that device. It's your "conclusion".
The Carbon framework is no longer supported or present on the mac. It went away with other 32-bit support in Catalina.
Huh? Of course he was wrong!
Percentage of the way to being as good as all desktop operating systems ought, at a minimum, to be:

Windows: 70%

Linux: 20-80% depending on your hardware, what you're doing with it, and how lucky you got with the current kernel & libraries your distro is running.

MacOS: 90%

So when Apple fucks up really bad and MacOS temporarily drops to 70%, no, I still don't switch. Every desktop operating system is shitty, but there are degrees of shitty.

And yes, I use all three pretty regularly.
Great answers. If we check back in a couple years, I'm sure we'll see good learned approaches to most of these problems.

Robotics is already on its way there. Is this program induction https://paperswithcode.com/task/program-induction ? Looks like it's headed towards ML too. I suspect you could stick ML into SAT solving and get yourself a system that worked pretty decently.
What a completely nonresponsive "response". To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever even tried to use auth9n or auth8n. But that's not where the 'n' in authn comes from. authn and authk are both equally distinct from authz.
Yeah, discovery and filing seem to be the biggest emerging applications of software to law. I wonder if going to law school would put me in a better position as a founder of an ediscovery startup.

What I had in mind was any kind of law-career opportunity that would be more open to me with software engineering background than without.
Not OP but I have extensive experience as a user of all three major desktop systems. Aqua, the macOS desktop, is by far the most stable and consistent, and in my experience the most usable and powerful as well.

A few things that stand out about it to me vs GNOME 3, KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXDE, and whatever the Windows interface is called:

- The consistency of the menu system, and being able to search and use the menus of any app from the keyboard with shift-cmd-?. This is like having Emacs M-x or Sublime/VSCode shift-cmd-P in every desktop app.

- Being able to assign custom keyboard shortcuts for any menu option in any app.

- Emacs keybindings for editing text in every text field (including on the web). I believe GNOME Tweaks is supposed to do this, but I could never get it to work reliably and universally like macOS.

- Native app ecosystem. Third-party Mac software is generally the most polished, though not quite as much exists as for Windows.

- System animations. This is a small one, but it makes things more fun and makes the whole system feel fluid and “organic,” for lack of a better term.
At this point you might as well use Speck; at least there’s a chance it works.
It felt like trying to suck the future down a too-small straw like a thick milkshake and a too-small straw.
But that vaccine? Partially developed by one woman who was treated like dirt by U Penn because she insisted on pursuing mRNA vaccines, solely because she wasn't bringing in enough federal grant money. Demoted. Supported by another faculty member to do it. U Penn now likes to try to take credit for it even though this research was done despite them, not because of it. This woman leaves university academics to pursue research through the private sector.

She's doing fine, thank you, won a big award etc. But to me it's a perfect example, in that this vaccine you're mentioning, that saved the world in a literal sense, occurred despite the academic structure. That academic structure tried to stomp her out, expunge her from the department.

I think it's totally appropriate, in this kind of climate, to point all this out.

Are there advances? Sure, but it's more in the sense that the initial world conflicts of the early twentieth century slowly evolved in the midst of trench warfare in which humans were treated like fodder for the machine.

I have a problem with the linked article only in that it's grossly misleading: the author seems to disagree with the elite overproduction thesis, but then essentially goes on to argue that there's an overproduction of elites, at least insofar as there's no resources to support them. But every one of those people who exits academics because they aren't given the opportunities, or are psychologically abused, or who don't have the right connections, or whatever, are another opportunity lost. So I agree with it in its substance.

Academics is currently grossly dysfunctional. The fact that progress occurs at all is a strawman -- it's not about progress per se, it's about opportunity costs and lost life in time and suffering.

Re [1]: the libraries that delete an object when it goes out of scope use Tcl's built-in "trace" command, which lets you execute code when a command terminates or when a variable is deleted, among other events. So no, it's all done in pure Tcl.

I haven't read the LNs, and have no opinion on whether it's Haruhi's mind or Kyon's.

Either way, after watching it, I was left with a feeling of emptiness and the sense that life is meaningless if you're not able to interact with other minds that are independent of your own but can still understand you.

If the world is wholly a product of your own mind, and there is no objective reality, you had better delude yourself in to believing that the other minds that populate it are independent. Otherwise you'll constantly be destroying and recreating the would in search of novelty because you've given up on meaning.

The best way to convince yourself the world is real is if the other beings in it know things you don't know and can do things you can't do.

Sure, macOS still crashes, I didn't claim it doesn't. But macOS crashes with a lot less regularity for me.

I use Linux as my daily driver and the apps I use (GNOME Terminal, other terms, Spotify, Slack, Brave and Firefox, and the GNOME desktop itself) crash multiple, sometimes several times a day on my two (work, personal) machines.

This happens across diverse machines, as well as across multiple distributions (though again, pop!_os, so far seems much less trashy for whatever reason).
> Could someone with more familiarity in this area explain, what do the 'perpetrators' (for lack of better word) gain out of generating and publishing nonsensical (farkaktical?) papers?

There are circumstances where getting a paper published is a prerequisite for something else (graduating, getting hired, receiving a bonus or promotion, etc.). The general shape of the issue is similar to how and why nonsensical or trivial patents are conceived, submitted, and granted, except that the attack surface is ginormous by comparison.
HP Z-book, some Lenovo Thinkpads and some consumer Lenovo and HP notebooks.
Not the same but similar:

export var foo = 3
setImmediate(() => {foo = Math.random()})

Under ESM, exported values are still not known at parse time, and may be changed by the library (but not created nor deleted). And given that exported may be changed, what prevents library makers from doing:

export default var exports = { }
enhance(exports, mixin)

and you are left with heuristics again?

I see these subtle differences, but fail to see how they are a solution to the problem of “doing strange things to exports”.
They already knew the dossier was flimsy and had problematic provenance, didn't they? There seems like no way that could possibly have been the only evidence used to justify the warrants, or to keep a special council investigation running for 2 years, or have Adam Schiff as ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee clearly state that he had seen ample evidence that Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election. Surely there must be much stronger evidence out there. The simplest explanation says that Putin and Trump got to Mueller and Schiff and others to keep them quiet and prevent the evidence getting out. What's the alternative?
Since they do mention Klingon in one of them, I kinda also want to add to yours: Bajorans also put family name first.
It's a bit more complex than Hello World, but doing digit recognition with the MNIST dataset is a common "first project" type of thing.
me2 had some nice character moments, but its main plot was very stupid with ridiculous reasoning that threw away all appeal of me1. Best elements of me2 (and me3!!) were stories that expanded the stories, already established in the first game (genophage and quarians/geth conflict).

To anyone who thinks ME2 is better, I can only recommend this mighty analysis of the series: https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=27792

Lots of parts, but it highlights all the problems of the second and third games really well.
Definitely File History on Windows + Track Changes in Word.

(Or on macOS, using a file system which supports Browse Versions and enabling Time Machine backups as well.)

For things you really care about, periodic cloud backups and/or cloud saves as well, and periodic print copies for good measure.

The saddest thing is when someone's laptop with all of their data or documents is stolen, or their data/documents are destroyed physically in some disaster, and they have no backup.
While we're at it - Tcl-like languages make for pretty decent embedded scripting solutions if performance is not a major requirement. There's one called LIL that's literally just a single .c file (and the accompanying header) for ease of embedding:

Theoretically, if you're going to sell something the most profit would fundamentally be made from products which had the least cost or value at the source.

When the floor represented by underlying value is not very significant compared to retail price, then the sales bonanza should be expected to propagate further along a chain of middlemen, so more fun for more enthusiasts the more valueless you can get.
From Article 3 Section 2:

"In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."

Certainly seems like Congress could in fact have the constitutional authority to limit the Supreme Court's ability to review decisions from subordinate courts.

Maybe your friends went to an international school? This is not my experience with talking with people here.
This is funny to me because I've had discussions surrounding the thesis of the title with my in-laws, about building materials. Vinyl lumber is great for areas prone to excessive shade and moisture, because it's so resistant to rot. Put it in full sun though, and it eventually turns to plastic powder. Some lumber is the opposite, though: it's difficult to maintain in wet shade because it gets destroyed by fungi and moss; put it in the sun, though, and take care of it, and it can last for a long time.

It's interesting to me UV light and rot are coming up in a totally different context, as it points to the importance of these two types of decay phenomena. The other, of course, is physical force, in the form of wind or physical impact. But in the absence of that the two great destroyers are microbes and radiation.
> Also notice that in some domains ML is still behind symbolic A.I., for instance a lot of robotics and autonomous vehicles.

Classical AI has failed in robotics. There's practically no field where it does worse than in robotics. It's getting cut out of every part of every system one piece at a time, and being replaced by ML methods that really work. Even Kalman Filters aren't safe.
While this assessment focuses on the “personal risk” side of things (yes, we are all aware that most of us who have been vaccinated should expect nothing more than a bad cold if we end up getting infected with covid), where your assessment falls apart is that it doesn’t take into account public health.

COVID continues to overwhelm healthcare system ICU capacity. It continues to result in an unsustainable level of death and disability among the massive portion of the population that remains unvaccinated.

Where I live, and in other jurisdictions, public health authorities are telling citizens, “Hey, try to avoid getting into a car accident or having a heart attack because our ICU capacity is extremely limited”

So long as these systems are not operating normally, society cannot function as it usually would. And we certainly can’t pretend covid is over because we have lost patience and exacerbate those problems further.

Lastly, your assertion that suicides have increased due to COVID is false. [0][1]
