Thank you for mentioning this.

My personal pet theory about the recent rise in various 'challenges' is effectively weaponization of this particular medium in an attempt at social manipulation. It is all fun games now, but as recent 'gun challenge' shows, it can be easily turned into mayhem.

80k a year minus student loan payments.

I couldn't imagine living in any HCOL city with less than 100k minimum. If others want to struggle, fine.

But logically why not live in Chicago off that 80k, and take a 20 minute L ride to work.
Garbage article is just opinions based on broad stereotypes and the author's biases.

(probably true)

I draw the opposite conclusion; suffering is one of the surest paths to empathy and compassion for others.
Similar thing with the touch bar on macbooks. I would pay extra to "upgrade" to one with physical F-keys instead.
I had no idea, thanks for sharing.

Again, I'm very much a layman to this subject, but how does miniaturization necessarily affect that particular aspect ratio? Since it's literally a ratio of two dimensions of the torus, shouldn't this be invariant to the overall size?
(Assuming all things being equal, which I have no idea whether holds.)
It's better, but still not the same level of timing guarantees. I suppose, left to right, you would have something like:

SBC/Linux -> SBC/Real-time OS -> General Purpose MCU ->
Specialized MCU (Parallax Propeller, for example) -> FPGA/CPLD/DSP

With perhaps some additions to the diagram to account for bit-banging vs actual drivers, speeds where some portion of the left side just isn't fast enough to even kind-of work, slow clock MCUs vs fast clock MCUs, etc.
Just to be sure: what we are seeing in the video is plasma from the fusion of hydrogen atoms, right?

My point about slavery is that "humans have done this for a long time" is not an argument for anything. At best, we stay stuck in the past.

I think we are all saying the same thing. That, at some point, all humans get tired of the repetition. My main counter to all of this is that travel grants you an opportunity to experience things through a lens unachievable from your home. It does not matter how big your city's Chinatown (or choose your favorite ethnic center) is, it is merely a glimpse into that world. To me, travel is an incredibly long process of experiencing your life as it could have been. Almost like experiencing reincarnation while you are still alive. Obviously, your body is still the same but you go through many of the same stages of childhood when learning a new language. Frustration that no one can understand you, immense gratification of finally being able to convey your ideas, etc. In this sense,

> FOMO around travel that creates an illusion that we haven't truly lived unless we've been to all the major cities and historical ruins.

Is entirely wrong and you should just simply choose to not play. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Stop being a sheep and following the herd. Pave your own path. If you so happen to end up in one of these places, great. At the end of the day, traveling somewhere new is an amazing opportunity to grow as an individual and expand your mind.

Regarding the official government communications/ court order, that was about the politicians, not Twitter. That is, if the politician was using it for official business, they couldn't block people on Twitter. It in no way obligated twitter to host the content. They wanted to, for business reasons. But they could shut down tomorrow (or kick off every elected official and government agency) and be within their legal rights.

Except for the shareholder lawsuit of course.
Staying in a single location became possible for humanity only with the advent of agriculture.

Before domestication, they had to follow the game animals around on their migrations, travel to find the edible plants and fruits, etc.

Even once horse, goats, and cattle were domesticated for their meat, milk, and fur (note this is separate from agricultural cultivation), humans had to roam in really large areas, from winter grazing grounds to summer grazing grounds as still well as following the game animals around.

I think traveling is a very ingrained behavior in humanity.

Perhaps less relevant as the fundraising proceeds and the valuation approaches the targeted IPO price. But early on, the valuation will probably change drastically from Seed to C and securing an appropriate % is a good strategy. Many people don't know what that is -- for instance I accepted my first seed stage equity offer of 0.5% (negotiated up from 0.25%) but I now know that I was slightly lowballed. But you still make a good point. 1% from two 23yo first-time foundres with little experience, vs 0.5% from established founders with prior exits, solid networks, and reputable VC's presumably greatly increases your odds of a high valuation exit, so perhaps even seed / A stage its worth weighing that more than the percent.
The difference is, the torture in Abu Ghraib was actually proven to have taken place. My understanding is no proof of torture in Xinjiang exists, only defense industry funded allegations.

Not a scientific achievement, but doesn't the Sagrada Família count?

"On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began ... It was anticipated that the building would be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death, but this has now been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

Continuing construction (admittedly not continuosly) for roughly 150 years is pretty impressive in my opinion.

Hm, with regard to timing attacks, I’m not talking about clearing the cofactor, but rather setting the most significant bit to zero & the second most significant to one. My understanding is that this is to defend against an insecure implementation of the scalar multiplication operation which takes a varying length of time depending on which bit is the first non-zero one, thereby revealing information about the key. The linked article supports this (I believe), but I’m always happy to be corrected about these kinds of things :)
I did not; thanks for the heads up!

I don't believe there's a publicly-available algorithm that's faster than Shor's for breaking EC, and to clarify any misconception you can also use Shor's for EC (EC is actually easier to break with Shor's than RSA, but EC has the advantage of shorter keys for longer brute-forcing using known classical methods).
What they forgot to mention --- it has drastically undercut user privacy.

Your phone number is personally identifying/privacy destroying info. Never provide your phone number if you have any expectation of privacy.

> Scientists do not read single author papers.

Hearing about this fact that a lot of papers get published but that single author papers are kinda discriminated (perhaps that is not the correct term for this) is a bit discouraging but I can understand it. There is no way 15k papers can be reviewed like that, so to a certain point it might make sense. On the other hand, what chance does one then have to make a contribution to the field? PR stunts to get your voice heard? Might be a hard problem to solve.

> Even among recognized scientists there are schools of thought that are incompatible, with contradictory findings never discussed or even addressed. For example nobody agrees on what is causing Alzheimer, Parkinson, ALS, MS, etc...

This is one of the things I want to be able to better understand as I study in this field. Why is that? My current view of things is that some characteristics of the disease being studied should be common on all cases, so there should be at least some consensus on "what is the thing that is wrong that is common among all those cases?" that could then be studied to figure out how that thing being wrong causes the disease. But it could be just that I am still too ignorant on the subject and don't know what is the depth of this discussion.

> I think what matters is not only the ability to do interesting stuff, you can do as much interesting studies from your armchair than in a university because you can access public and not so public databases and there is an incredible amount of software available for free and people willing to help.

This is something I find to be awesome. I have been poking around some resources such as encodeproject.org and ncbi and the amount of information available is incredible. The issue I am having with them is that sometimes information doesn't match (for example, the address of a gene is different depending on what transcription description I am looking at). Because of this, I get a feeling that relying on the information that is made available online alone might not be enough without being able to verify that the data you are working on actually is correct. Is this something that is feasible? Or would this field be mostly trusting data from others and then working with it and hoping it is correct?

BTW, I tried visiting your blog, but it seems that the navigation of posts is broken. Whenever I try to click the links to see posts from previous years I get a 404 page. If you ever get that fixed, would you mind dropping me a line? I wanted to read your first posts to see how your studies in the field evolved.

The author says the problem is that we have a hard time estimating areas. That is hard, but the problem isn't estimating the area. What you is segments of a circle's circumference. You can unroll a piechart into something like this, and it's still kind of difficult to figure out the proportions:

> They also do not appear to reflect the values of most Canadians or most Canadian truckers: More than 80 percent of the Canadian public is vaccinated, including almost 90 percent of truckers, according to Canada’s minister of transport.

This is a completely dishonest characterization. The truckers are not anti-vaccine, they are against anti-vaccine MANDATE.
I’m glad they were able to figure that out, and now the question that arises in my mind is whether there is any hope for finding a model that props up local investigative journalism. Even if all those local news organizations became non-profits and had access to a very effective digital media platform that made it effortless to produce online content (including mobile-friendly functionality), and maybe even charge micro-payments for some of the individual articles, would it be enough? Or would it not work? Can they only survive if they do real news while selling other stuff?

Your interface must be easy enough for a beginner.
Your interface must be flexible enough to continue to be useful as your users' requirements change.

This should be true for your user interface and it should be true in your programmable interface.

The author mentioned SDKs in a passing comment, but it's really the crux of the solution and I think warrants more detail. SDKs allow you to implement language specific versions of APIs which can mask significant complexity and also make the functionality of the API accessible to a much broader group of developers within that language.
This looks pretty cool! Is this basically efficient/scalable fuzzy object matching?

IMO, it would be super useful to have some performance benchmarks – how fast is this for 1k/100k objects? How does that compare to other approaches etc

Not sure how feasible these are, but features I would find super useful:

- string matching across languages in different scripts (with something like unidecode maybe? [1])

- fuzzy matching that includes continuous variables like lat/long, age etc

Excited about using this – will be following the repo very closely!

Indeed. Her arguments made in the aforementioned video are slanted. There are many lies by omission that paint an inaccurate worldview for laypeople.

It's incredible that the term "Lawson criterion" wasn't mentioned once.
Hmm, I'm not comfortable with that summary. I wouldn't just tell anybody to go for it in regard to a situation that may seem like a scam to them.

If I had wanted to summarize myself I would have emphasized the integrative aspect, rather than picking one side of the dichotomy I described.

So maybe to summarize, "your summary might be a summary worth trusting, if you don't care about details or accurate representation" :-)

> I think it should be normalized to not give children personal devices capable of accessing the web until they are 16

But do you think the government should step in and enforce such a limitation?

As a counter example, I grew up in a repressive, abusive environment. My access to the Internet at that age was a lifeline. It helped me understand the real world, form deep and lasting friendships with people from diverse backgrounds with opinions I had never been exposed to, and eventually helped me escape my environment.

While I acknowledge that the Internet has evolved since then, and more care is needed at that age, I see a lot of opinions that all seem based on the premise of a perfect childhood. Good parents who are actually involved and are not harming their children. Parents who themselves have a healthy outlook on all of this.

Don’t get me wrong, I know such parents exist. But where they exist, this is a self solving problem. Because good parents will manage their children’s access and help them navigate the Internet safely.

When bad parents do not, a government entity doing it for them can only further exacerbate the situations of those who rely on that phone to have some hope of a normal life.

That’s not a silver bullet either.
Not for long, sorry. As it expands and attempts to bring more people in, it starts diluting whatever good there was.

It slowly turns into „I usually don’t do it but here’s my linkedin facebook post”. Cutesy cats, dogs, kiddos and all that kind of stuff.
