tldr, energy density of the universe remains same while the universe is expanding, so yes space is being created, and yes physical distances between things are changing (outside of the local influence of gravity that is, so no distance between earth and moon is not changing for example).

Now a longish answer,
space is like a stage or a backdrop, it's not made of anything, yet we can model the behavior of radiation and matter within space, also we cannot talk only about space, we have to talk about both space and time since they are intertwined. So spacetime has geometry, ie it can be curved by presence of matter, and space tells matter how it can move (geodesics),

As for the expansion of space itself, Hubble observations found that every star outside the local group is moving away from earth and not only are they moving away from earth but they are speeding up as they move away from us, also we observe that the acceleration is proportional to the distance to those stars, for example a star 100 light years away is racing away 2x faster than a star 50 light years away (we inferred this based on the redshifting of the light coming from these stars that are moving away from us), based on these observations, we can conclude that the space between stars itself is expanding at rate proportional to the distance between stars, ie something like the opposite of positive pressure is pushing stars away and the further they are from each other the stronger the push away, we have some sort of always accelerating negative pressure affecting everything. This negative pressure is referred to as dark energy and it is responsible for this expansion of space. To put it another way outside of local cluster of galaxies, gravity is losing the battle against this negative pressure expanding force we call dark energy and eventually everything would be so far away that light from these distinct racing away stars won't ever make it to earth no matter how long we wait, which is why the author ends with future astronomers would see a barren universe.

Not to mention the copyrightability of AI output isn't legally well tested, and chances are it'll fall in the direction of being copyrighted by the user (i.e. the person clicking in the UI to make a character, which is where creative input happens), not by the AI creator (who has no creative input into the process; they merely made a tool, like any other piece of software - same reason documents printed from Microsoft Word aren't copyrighted by Microsoft).

I'm not entirely sure how much legal weight a ToS on the website would have on what the users do with the output. As I understand it, you could e.g. forbid explicitly using the service/generator for commercial purposes (e.g. during game development), but if someone generates a cool character playing around with no particular commercial objective and then decides post facto to build a media megafranchise out of that character, absent any copyright claim over the image, I don't think there's anything stopping them. They wouldn't even need to trace over it, though if they want new artwork in different poses, they couldn't keep using the AI for that with explicit commercial intent; they'd have to get humans to re-draw it.

Alternatively, a pessimistic view of the interaction between copyright and AI would be that the model is a derivative work of all the training input, and its output also is, and then good luck building a non copyright infringing AI.

IANAL and all that, but it would definitely be legally risky to assume that as the provider of an AI generator you have any control over what users do with the output.

As long as they happen in a relatively timely manner, as they were in this case. Our democracy does not live in a building, there is no switch to turn it off. The Capitol Building and everyone in it could disappear in a wormhole and I'm confident we would retain our democracy, logistical nightmare aside.
Treating links as an entity. In a RDBMS, it is not possible to map a bidirectional relation semantically. It needs to have a direction (you can define it in both directions but then you have 2 relations). You then also need to duplicate link properties (in the join table) or normalize to yet another join table.

That has been my pet peeve for a while, and can make it hard to define navigation.

Totally not a deal-breaker though. I'd still use sqlite because I ### love it :)

Not necessarily. Will Crichton, a PhD student at Stanford University, has been working on a tool called Nota [0] that he's hoping might serve as a platform for online paper publication.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Greybeards now literally have grey beards. It must be hard to have pioneered software development, and watch it change under your feet at an escalating rate. I think the measures of a good engineer in the 80s/90s was more focused around 'hacker' culture. Speed, memory footprint, 'cleverness'.

These days, a good engineer can scale, be flexible, and is a polyglot. I think the goal posts have shifted for the old schoolers, and it may be just one of those things.

I don't disagree on the price signals, but this is the logic of corporations with assets, liabilities, cash flows, investors, boards, etc.

It isn't necessarily the same as the logic of nation-states sitting on finite resources that may, from some point, only fall in total value.

Or the logic of money launderers, who are perfectly willing to make terrible deals in order to convert undesirable resources into desirable ones.
Absolutely. And don't be ashamed to speak with your disabled students accomodations office about getting the accommodations you need. If you test slowly, request extended time. If depression or something else keeps you from getting stuff done during the week, ask for flexible deadline extensions. People are hesitant to request accommodations they genuinely need and it boggles my mind.

It's especially important for math and science STEM fields -- I wouldn't be making any progress on my math degree if I didn't request accommodations and left it up to individual instructors whether to approve or deny my requests for extensions
Exactly--neither does not believing make it false. It would be arrogance to assert in general that a personal opinion makes something true or the world only exists within the limited bounds of one's own belief.

So...I am not saying people's belief makes it true. I am saying people should be tolerant, and considerate. And not be rude or arrogant.
> And then all of a sudden, everything starts changing. Nobody wants to hire a vanilla JS/HTML developer anymore, they want react developers. And these react kiddies are able to put together a webapp that looks so much nicer, has more functionality, and they are able to do it in less time.

Don't want to support the author, but I want to say this has not been my experience. It seems to me that for most types of web pages web development is slower than in the old days. HTML and JQuery were really good for what were mostly static pages with a small amount of logic and state which is still what most web pages are.

However feature rich applications were a mess using older tools. Code organization was difficult and you had almost no hope of keeping complex state lined up in the UI, React has been a godsend for this kind of work.

But developers as a whole are very junior (iirc as of this year the median dev has 4 years of experience) and I think most can't pick which tools suit their use case.
It is called fashion driven development, everyone looking for the latest fad in the hope to be the next keynote guest speaker at Conference XYZ, have the blog posts spotted on the technology news forum of the day, sell consultancy services, whatever.

Beyond that, the original SARS escaped at least once from a BSL-4 lab in Taiwan:

> The scientist had been working on a SARS study in Taiwan's only biosafety level 4 lab since June, the Taiwan statement said. [...] A chest x-ray showed pneumonia in his right lung, and polymerase chain reaction tests of throat and blood samples were positive for the SARS virus.

Many viruses have come to infect people in BSL4 labs, when they happen to be run incompetently.

From the exact same article you cite :

> The AP report quoted Dr. Shigeru Omi, the WHO's Western Pacific regional director, as saying the patient most likely was infected by some spilled liquid he saw on the surface of a test tube. Omi said the man was working without protective gear, such as a gown and gloves, at the time, according to the report.

Which, again, does nothing to oppose the thesis in the original post, which is that these viruses won't escape a BSL4 lab that's actually operating competently at the BSL4 level.

> The idea that "BSL-4" implies "negligible risk of accident" seems to be empirically false. In any case, the WIV was creating chimeras of novel coronaviruses with much looser precautions, at BSL-2:

That was also explicitely addressed. In 2013, the WIV was not a BSL4 lab.

A relational database maps everything to unordered relationships. Representing or manipulating a tree like structure is complex. Just representing an ordered list is complex. In XML and JSON everything is ordered and querying it as relational database is cumbersum. Graph databases and OO databases are somewhere in the middle.

But as I wanted to point out, which data models are used, is not the major obstacle to the semantic web. It is these other problems that are not addressed.

I've read about the fruitcake metaphor. When you bake a fruitcake in the oven it expands and thus all the little pieces of fruit in it move away from each other.

But if that is the proper metaphor then my question is: Is there any difference between everything "moving away from everything else" (like pieces of fruit in expanding fruitcake) vs. "space expanding"?

Why do we say "space is expanding" rather than saying "all stars are moving away from each other"?

What is the difference between "space expanding" and "things moving away from each other"?

> The science-society contract is broken.

No, it’s society-politics contract that is broken and as science is being hijacked by politics it increasingly appears science-society contract is also broken. Individuals largely had respects on science and scientists in general - Americans still revere the moonshot science and technology achievements like moon landing.

Problem is there is group of people largely facilitated and funded by the political donor class that has hijacked science for changing socio-political discourse in its favour. And that has started this slippery slope which has led to biggest decline in trust and respect to scientific leadership and by proxy to science.

A common way to fool people is how the media for example conflates science with policy decisions. When scientists talk about climate change, many automatically assume it has to do with the policy choice such as less car or fossil fuel without any implication such as changing consumer habits or offloading carbon footprints to third world producing economies.

If you want to see how political donor class has broken the science-society contract just look at the pandemic response. CDC still hasn’t walked back fully from its initial claim of the virus being “non-airborne”, or how the hospitalization count is totally off because many are hospitalized with covid not because of covid as Dr Fauci only recently acknowledged.[1]

Ultimately, science is being used as a tool for political donor class to push its agenda and society is better off distancing from that because if there is anything last 20 years of policies have shown, the donor class is all in it for themselves.

What happened was the best case scenario. China has highly plausible deniability and was the first and possibly hardest hit victim of the whole pandemic. Further, there is virtually no way China has benefited from the pandemic in a way that would make a premeditated leak plausible. If this thing was China’s fault, it seems most likely that it was accidental.

Imagine if this thing had leaked out of Iran, Israel, or Russia with hardish proof. We’d potentially be looking at world war right now.

This is a common problem with conspiracies when they actually happened. You still get "conspiracy theorists" showing up with theories contrary to evidence or fabrications or misrememberings of details.

Which then discredits their own position -- even if the conspiracy actually happened -- because it didn't happen the way they claim it did.

There is a conspiracy theory that this method is used by conspirators to effect a coverup by discrediting skeptics of the official narrative.

I’m curious if anyone has investigated the recent leaks from Project Veritas (https://www.projectveritas.com/news/military-documents-about...). It suggests once again, that the NIH/NIAID grant to EcoHealth Alliance was in support of gain of function research at WIV involving SARS-like viruses. As a reminder, EcoHealth Alliance’s president, Peter Daszak, is a listed author on various WIV papers that explicitly describe gain of function research, and was suspiciously chosen by the WHO as the only US representative in the WHO’s visit to WIV in early 2021.

From this new leak of documents, DARPA’s rejection of the NIH proposal (https://assets.ctfassets.net/syq3snmxclc9/5OjsrkkXHfuHps6Lek...) specifically calls out that the proposed NIH research seems to be Gain of Function but the proposal doesn’t admit it (DARPA is effectively accusing the NIH of falsely describing their research). This is exactly what Professor Ebright previously accused NIH and NIAID of, which is systematically avoiding the frameworks meant to prevent dangerous GoF research (https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/03/26/how-anthony-fauci-sy...). And it is also what Senator Rand Paul, among others, accused Dr Fauci of in past senate hearings.

Tesla has to provide data that its technology works, not the other way around. Public doesn't have to prove or provide data for shit.

Just like drug companies have to prove that their medicines work before FDA approves them to be provided to patients, similarly Tesla has to provide data and prove that it works before it should have been unleashed on public roads since both, drugs and FSD/autopilot, have the capacity to kill if they don't work as designed/promised.

I will also note that, specifically in large "enterprisey" codebases, the benefit of all-encompassing libraries like Boost is that they only need to get approved once.

> I'd love to have faster C++ compile times.

It's not an inherent property of the language. With some care, it is possible to write C++ code with compilation speed comparable to good old C, even in large projects.

The worst offender is usually templates. Especially third-party libraries which use them heavily, like boost. Ideally, don't use these dependencies. Second best option, only include these libraries in *.cpp files which actually use them, and keep that number to minimum. When absolutely necessary, note C++ allows to split templates across h/cpp files; just because the standard library is header only doesn't mean non-standard templates need to follow the convention.

Another typical reason is insufficient modularity of the code. It can cause some of the source files (especially higher level ones, like the one containing the program's main function) to include ~all headers in the projects. The fix is better API design between different components of the software. A good pattern for complicated data structures is pure abstract interfaces, this way the implementation stays private, the consuming code only needs to include the (presumably tiny) interface definition. Another good pattern is FP-style. Regardless on the style, I sometimes write components with thousands of lines of code split across dozens of source/header files, with the complete API of that component being a header with 1-2 pages of code and no dependencies.

And of course you want all the help from the toolset you can get: precompiled headers, incremental builds, incremental linker, parallel compilation, etc. Most of these are disabled by default, but can be enabled in the build system and/or IDE.
