Words don’t represent JUST represent ideas.

Words transmit ideas. The difference is notable I’m this data set in particular. I posted a longer version elsewhere in the thread but to summarize.

During this time period the nsf became more strict about explicitly addressing their review criteria. Faculty became trained to use the languag explicitly and connect their ideas to the language of the review criteria. I’m effect, you started to get an ‘api’ where, irregardless of what the idea in the grant is, it’s is clearly and explicitly connected to key nsf terminology. That is a de novo narrowing of the language space no matter the underlying ideas. It’s purpose is definitively about improving communication, not narrowing ideas.

From what I can tell the paper didn’t filter anything in the data. Had they filtered “broader impacts” and “intellectual merit” I would be hard money they would get different results.
These horrible compile times happen both on Windows and Linux. I am using Serde, but only on two out of 15 structs in total. I haven't really tried to investigate yet if these compile times is just because of my project, but I am using some "standard" crates (like tokio and serde) that the community seems to overall use for most user-facing software, so hopefully they won't "infect" the compile times too much.

Thanks for the pointers though!
> if Microsoft and Apple are unhappy that P0 is targeting them, they should respond by standing up their own P0 teams and hammering Google, rather than having everyone operate under the fiction that it's OK for Google to be the only major vendor doing this work.

What's stopping them? Google started this team, stated it's goals publicly and engaged with third parties. They're free to ignore this, or to start their own teams and do the same.

> The photoshop money machine keeps going brrrr

This makes me wonder. Who is actually using Photoshop today and why?

In the past, these were graphics designers and photographers. The latter already migrated to Lightroom, Capture One etc. Designers have so many tools to choose from, why would they use Photoshop? I understand for long-time users it's just inertia, but new users are spoiled for choice.
Openai Chief Scientist Says Advanced AI May Already Be Conscious

Add in “grant writing specialists” with no domain expertise but lots of “test the nsf as an api” expertise and you have even bigger sources of error in these claims.
No. They hadn’t even gotten the hand-built roadster working properly before he took over (iirc the two speed transmission was still shredding itself before they switched to single speed), let alone launching the Model S, X, 3, Y, and then scaling up the manufacturing (the real hard part). Credit to them for the idea and the initial prototypes - the idea that EVs could not only be decent cars that people could stomach, but actually lustworthy sports cars that hold their own with the best ICE cars was key to their success, and it was the founders’. But the company building and keeping it alive was solidly Musk.
We have brain implants since 1997 too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_brain_stimulation

They're used to excite brain areas, with some success in granting euphoria to depressed patients, as detailed here:

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/03/pleasure-...

Neuralink's main innovation is its aim in making the brain implant able to transmit information outward, for use in prosthetics, and yes, mind-to-machine input. The last is what he's going for, allowing us to bypass text-input/voice-input or gesture in favor of directly thinking them. We'll see how much of that aim is able to be done or not, with our current technology.
You're arguing a completely different point. I didn't ask if the concerns are valid, I asked why the argument is a hot topic right now with Apple at the centre of it when Apple are not the only ones (nor even the first) to make such technology.

The other comments (eg about Apple popularising the tech and discussing how AirTags differs from existing solutions) explains this situation.

Should I study knot theory to tie my shoelaces? Should tailors and cup-makers study topology? Should it be mandatory to study economics before buying groceries?

Looking at code as applied formal logic is not a useful view outside of some rather obscure communities. Even code as a recipe is more useful view in practice.
Presumably the point of having people on Mars is that eventually it might get better, and they would be self-supporting, not just "living in cans".

I mean, early life for settlers in the USA also sucked.
Hot(ish) take is to note how many of these apply to corporate work situations and also to various flavours of nationalism.
One reason work like neuralink can be unhelpful is that it can distract from other (often more promising) work. Medical experimental and academic work is (ideally) conducted in public at every stage, and is announced via peer-review. Privately developed work may also go through peer-review, but often makes heavy use of PR tactics like press conferences, puff pieces in popular media, snazzy videos, etc. Sure, the public sector can learn a lot from the private sector, but vice-versa is also true.

I'm well aware of the issues with academic processes and peer-review publication, but I'm also aware of the ongoing efforts to improve them, which gives me hope. Also, this painful evolution is happening in public too, as it should be.
I think that's inverted. We don't have to elevate any other form of life or ecosystem to develop a social conscience or ethics. I don't see myself as lesser or greater, just part of it all.

As for things changing over time, that has already happened since the rise of ubiquitous communications. Social attitudes have changed drastically since the 1980s.
It's quite common in larger companies for "senior" to actually mean "mid-level" or "not junior".

This title inflation provides some flexibility to create a level below the new grad level, to hire people from non-traditional backgrounds who would otherwise fail a typical entry level screening but are willing to (temporarily) work for low $ to get themselves on the "engineering ladder".

It also makes new grad offers cosmetically/psychologically more competitive. All else being equal, if company A offers you "junior software engineer" and company B offers you "software engineer" you might favor the latter.

Yeah…this.

How much of the homogenization is due to “broader impacts” and “intellectual merit”. Which became the default lingo of nsf grants in about 1997
And wokeism.
This stood out to me as well. There an impulse to think that once we have perfected something, it will be good. But then, we noticed that the "perfect" version of this thing is actually pretty bad. Which then makes you question the entire thing, fundamentally.

Like here in advertising. I'm coming to the conclusion that there is no good form of advertising. It is a fundamentally bad thing. There are just different degrees of badness.

And since it's a fundamentally bad thing, perfecting it makes it worse.
There was the conspiracy theory that the covid vaccines would give people AIDS or VAIDS as they say.

So this is an interesting development

There was also the counter theory that the corona virus had been mixed with HIV components in a lab and would give AIDS to people that had no vaccine

Interesting to see how this theory pans out
How many people will not get that you are being sarcastic? :-)
Yeah. It’s like Google explaining how they help us by having “relevant ads”. The only ad that’s relevant to me is the one that I don’t see. I must be in a minority though, considered how successful ad businesses are.
> Is your leader the ultimate authority of your group?

Yes. Selected by, and sole connection to the mythical group "board".

> Does your leader have impressive, made-up names or titles?

Yes. "Chief Executive Officer".

> As far as your group is concerned, would they say that there is no legitimate reason to leave them?

Yes... if ever trying to leave, you are technically bribed with something that you cannot use in stores or pay rent. They call it "equity".

> Is your group suspicious about the outside world?

Yes. Always this talk about how the outside world is "the competition". Sometimes "the users.

> Does your group believe that they are the ‘right’ religion/church/group/ones, or only ones, who have ‘right’ teaching/doctrine?

Yes. "The competition" is wrong.

> Are there any of the above such rules/laws in your group?

Yes. Rules are in "the handbook".

Would be pretty easy to do in this eastern EU country. We have laws that require stations to separate ads from content, so there is always a short animation announcing the start and end of ads.
I agree, when Ridley Scott does something nowadays all I can think about is how he will ruin it. Villeneuve is an absolutely amazing director, but my personal feelings towards Ridley Scott after Prometheus and Alien Covenant is that he should retire, his job in ruining the Alien universe is done.

I am thinking if I should flag the submission. Not for or against the idea, but the content was just poor.
Gcode exists because hardware abstractions are even more leaky than software extractions. When pixels go onto your screen, you don't assume to know better than the guy who wrote the driver for the graphics card how they should get there. When plastic gets deposited on a 3D printer the way in which it is deposited actually affects the properties of the resulting object. Same for a CNC lathe or milling machine, although to a lesser degree.

There are of course also historical reasons, when it would be a central mainframe that would generate the gcode, and then it could be executed many times by cheaper computers attached to the machines. There was even a point where a lot of gcode was written, or at least edited, by hand. In these modern days of compute excess, gcode probably wouldn't have developed to the extent it did, and we'd be distributing STLs with some metadata around tolerances, materials and primary stress directions and the machines would figure it out themselves. The equivalent of gcode would just be used as a communication protocol between the interface and the motor controllers.
Should have bought some at any of those times ...

Personally I don't even bother with Google images, for any meaningful searches I head to Yandex.

It's been broken for several years already.

Reusable rocket is a pretty huge game-changer. It is something that was quite already possible in earlier decades, but there was no appetite to do that because of economics (from '80s to 2010, Soviet Union fell and American Space sector was gutted into cost-plus pork barrel grant of jobs to various states).

SpaceX is the first success of NewSpace, and the revolutionary cost-saving of Falcon 9 seems to continue with Starship, which is 100% reusable, unlike F9.

So...I take it you're...against democracy?

I mean, it is basically the same dynamic. Right?

People vote based on a prediction of what they think will be a "good" outcome for themselves, the ones they care about, and probably society as whole (for some folks anyway), and they [spend money] to do so. Erm..or that's the theory...let's ignore all the misinfo, short-term emotive-not-substantial-issue optimization, special interests...etc

Basically, your "single example" is the governing system of most of the 'Western liberal' world.

What do you think about that?

[spend money]: People are spending real money to vote (not just in supporting donating to a candidate) but by how they expect their choices will cost them or reward them financially (and of course there are other 'non fiscal' costs and benefits associated to different choices). I guess you could argue that's different but to me it seems it's pretty much the same.

So when you were told to RTFM, did you find the answer in the manual? If you didn't, did you tell them, and how did they respond?

I don't have any experience with OpenBSD or its community, but I'm in several (Linux-related) communities that would also tell you to RTFM if you were to ask a question that we expect is answered in the FM. And we would be happy to be corrected if you came back and told us it wasn't there, or even better if you told us when you initially asked your question that you did read such-and-such parts of the FM and did not find the answer. You could even become the one to update the manual to add the missing info for the next soul who has the same problem.

Basically what I'm getting at is that lots of small communities don't have the resources or inclination to answer the same questions over and over again. Yes the response may not be polite, and if that puts you off of using the software then so be it, but some level of self-help and doing-your-homework is expected before asking questions.
I have to tell you that while you see it as unethical, I don't.

I think this type of research might bring us a level forward for people who are blind or have parkinson's or other things and that this also might be the way for us humans to evolve further.

> Many "why don't you just..." pricing models don't work for some usages, or create perverse incentives

I think back to the story of how Amazon Prime came to be and the intense debate within Amazon leadership whether it would kill the company when logistics was their largest cost center... After they launched anyway (they had to, there's no winning the argument when Bezos believes in something with a conviction of a thousand suns), they found that not only Prime had help establish a moat around the business, but instead drove down the cost of logistics (more warehouses, more delivery vans, own airports/jets) as purchases not only rose but became predictable. The perverse incentives they were worried about were far and few in between, contrary to what they had projected.

I see a similar model at Cloudflare in their steely determination to build a moat around their customers with free ingress and egress.

I had a response to a comment of mine here on HN recently that effectively made this same argument-- that letting corporations influence our behavior is being slept on as one of the great problems in our society.

After thinking it through, I thoroughly agree. I'm not convinced of a proper course of action to correct it, but I do definitely think it's a problem as a whole.

A world where we just seek out and buy the things we need and that will actually enrich or lives sounds like a great improvement over the current system.

Don't let the hype or naysayers distract you. Blockchain tech is a game changer, and you don't have to like crypto or have your life savings in it to benefit. Take real estate, for example. The amount of corruption in this industry is obvious, and a prime target for blockchain efficiencies. Title and license verification, along with fund distribution will streamline a very tedious process. Another thing that isn't mentioned much is fractionalization. Don't have the money for a down payment, but need exposure to a booming market? Blockchain makes that easy. Much like people can buy a few satoshi, it will soon be second nature to invest in part of a building or development, without saving up to buy the whole thing.

All the noise about scammers and volatility will never drown out the silent hum of smart money getting in while you are still worried about what the downsides are.

It always astonishes me the degree to which “don’t be an asshole” is considered a radical position.

oh, zarzavat, of course, you are obviously correct:

it’s the people who sell “F#%K your feelings” t-shirts at rallies and wave nazi flags at “legitimate political discourse” who really care about others.

The 'positive externalities' of fossil fuels are already accounted for in our economic system: When mining for raw materials, the price that the miner is paid in the first sale is payment for that. And ditto in every subsequent sale: The benefits to the buyer goes into setting the price.

I am not an expert on economics nomenclature, but ISTM you can't really call that externalities when it's already being rewarded by the current economic system. Wouldn't that be an "internality" or something? They are already included.

Unlike the negative externalities from pollution. In the absence of something like a carbon tax, they are not included.

Neither of those are "the original source." Those are reports on what an animal rights group claims they have evidence of. The original source would be if you linked me to the "700 pages of evidence" which is supposedly going to be submitted to the Dept. of Agriculture.

I don't know the procedural rules around this sort of proceeding, but it strikes me as odd that they go to the press before submitting the paperwork. If they went after submitting the paper work, then you'd presumably be able to look up the 700 pages as a matter of public record and then I'd have egg on my face for not actually having looked into things. But as it stands, my face is firmly without egg.
