Fusion will not solve any energy problems we have today, and is unconnected to them.

Fusion will have to, maybe, compete with solar/wind/storage in 20-30 years, and beat the prices for that 20-30 years from now. With solar+storage being cheaper than many fossil fuels today, fusion is going to have to be extremely cheap to be able to be a competitive terrestrial energy source with 20-30 years more of solar and storage improvements.
why would you ask someone why they do something and then immediately explain that you literally do the exact same thing? the only difference is you do it manually and they found a way to automate it.

the reason they skip them is the exact same reason people use ad block on youtube or download movies. they don't care and it's more convenient that way.
Nation states are an incredibly recent phenomenon, and not something we have always lived with or are in any way natural or immutable.
Informative and succinct. I coach clients on habit development as the foundation for transformation. I'm fascinated by how external environmental aspects, relations, and inputs shape my perspective and desires to quote the post: "We want what other people want because they want it". It's interesting to observe the origins of my desires and how that relationship and awareness has changed over the years.
Is that your point US should have stayed out of WWII because of WWI?
Is it too much to ask you to stop reposting this nonsense again and again.

You're not contributing to the discussion (besides Putin did nothing wrong. It's all the West's fault anyway).
Us participated in Vietnam War too which would made it third War. In Korea War too, four. Plus, supported various guerrilas (taliban) and dictators materiály.

And that is me being lazy to lookup whether there were other conflicts.

The Ukrainian government deputized ideological extremists to retake/hold territory controlled by pro-Russian separatists.

I'll concede to your comparison to a US militia when some state like Florida leaves the union and the US has to arm some QAnon loons to take it back.
It's not clear that "more attractive" is actually necessary - as mentioned, they're already hugely competed for. But to address your comments:

0% or negative overhead? - While indirect cost return, which is where I get some of my overhead back, is awesome when you can negotiate it, indirects are not the boogeyman HN likes to make them out to be. For government grants, these are known factors. For private industry, lower overhead rates can often be negotiated. Same for foundations, etc.

No teaching? - This depends entirely on the person, but generally, reduced teaching obligations help if you're interested in research. There are people who are passionate about teaching and don't want to give that up. There are people who are in purely research positions (like me) and maybe voluntarily teach a single graduate seminar once every other year. Many of both groups love their jobs.

Longer Sabbaticals? - There is some research showing that faculty who don't take sabbaticals are more likely to leave. I'd suggest instead of "longer" more frequent. An opportunity to "clear the deck" so to speak.

Fewer admin duties? - wistful, longing expression

Be left alone to do research? - This is probably our #1 request, but how to actually make that happen is something of an open problem.
I’ve not found an MMO that feels as smooth as WoW to play the character, and honestly it’s not even close. Nobody has even approached WoW’s crispness of gameplay, almost seemingly because nobody has really even tried, and I wonder why that is.
there are other countries that are closer to Russia than cities like Kyiv
, but Russia is invading them

also, why Russia should decide on how other countries decide their internal affairs?

Ukraine doesn't need the approval of Russia to join or not join NATO.
I've never seen a way to organize files that feels like it prioritizes files based on how much they mean to the user.

By that I mean pictures I take, papers I write, things I really wouldn't want to lose, vs 10,000 random system files.

For downloaded files sometimes the history of when it was downloaded, and from where, is almost as important as the contents.

Backups from old computers, and old phones start to pile up, and the chaos of trying to find that picture you took 3 phones ago, or the notes you took, or the recording you made, or the pdf you downloaded, or that code you wrote, or that map you made, is a real pain.

Digital clutter is one of my biggest problems.

I really need a good way to deduplicate and organize ALL my digital stuff. Tags might play a role, but I don't think they quite solve the problem.

> How long do you think Russia can hold out if the entire world sanctions them? Do you think they'd trade Ukraine for trade with every world partner? Bottom line: Russia can only win a physical war - they cannot win an economic war.

Forever? Look at North Korea: Kim Jong-un is doing fine.

It's a fantasy that the "entire world" would sanction them: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/23/world/europe/china-russia...:

> China on Wednesday criticized the expansion of economic sanctions against Russia, saying that they were unlikely to solve the Ukraine crisis and that they had the potential to harm average people as well as the interests of Beijing.

Putin doesn't care about Russia economy the way you think he does: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/02/lavrov-rus...:

> Their intentions are different from ours too. Putin’s goal is not a flourishing, peaceful, prosperous Russia, but a Russia where he remains in charge. Lavrov’s goal is to maintain his position in the murky world of the Russian elite and, of course, to keep his money. What we mean by “interests” and what they mean by “interests” are not the same. When they listen to our diplomats, they don’t hear anything that really threatens their position, their power, their personal fortunes.
Thank you Satoshi for enabling dictators and destroying the planet.

The platform indicated an invasion before other prediction markets and before the vast majority of commentators. It's not just now coming around.
Oh ok, that was pretty random. Yes, work where you feel you can be productive and happy.
The NSF heavily pushes the idea that there should be a mentorship and teaching component to most/all of their funded proposals.
American institutions have only themselves to blame for the decline. People like Putin are taking advantage of the weakness but American politicians could behave more reasonably anytime but instead they are consciously choosing to make it worse. It’s all home made by the “greatest country in the world”. No need to blame anybody else.
Moscow launches full-scale invasion of Ukraine
Did he just tweet thoughts and prayers or did Biden show his face?
Coming from NIH-land and occasionally dabbling in NSF-funding via EEID, RAPID and some collaborations with CS folks, the broader impacts section remains the thing that's most opaque to me.
Now the original comment is flagged and gone. I will still leave this reply here because it expands on the original comments claim with more sources than just Wikipedia;

> We then openly backed the 2014 putsch in Kiev, an open act of aggression just as irresponsible as a military incursion. CIA John Brennan, Senator John McCain, and Diplomat Victoria Nuland were there in Ukraine when Yanukovych was being overthrown. There is also evidence to show that we were involved through NGOs in overthrowing and promoting an atmosphere desiring the overthrow of Yanukovych.

This is an aspect to this that way too many people just ignore as "Russian misinformation".

The Orange revolution was a prior US attempt [0] at facilitating a regime-change in Ukraine from pro-Russian politics to pro-Western politics, which failed.

In 2014 there was the next attempt McCain not only riling up protesters [1], but meeting with the future PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk and leader of right-wing militias Oleh Tyahnybok [2] that were the muscle behind the 2014 revolution [3].

Arseniy Yatsenyuk was already declared the US's "man" during the leaked "Fuck the EU Nuland" calls [4], same Victoria Nuland that was literally handing out cookies to Ukrainian protesters [5].

Yatsenyuk wasn't even too shy about these connections; His OpenUkraine foundation's list of partners reads like the who is who of US regime change actors, down to the CIA's a National Endowment for Democracy and literal NATO itself [6].

Tho it was a bit too blatant, so they ended up putting his wife in charge of the foundation and removing the partners list.

I do agree there are good things on YouTube, but there are also horrific, definitely not age appropriate things, and there is not enough control to keep one flowing into the other. We watch YouTube as a family, but we're fortunate in that we all like the same content. But in my opinion, supervision is the only true way to make sure they're only seeing appropriate things.

Also, "their friends are doing it" is a terrible reason to let them do it, IMHO.
I am not sure if it is middle age or grammar school upbringing that makes the term "health span" so uncomfortable to read.
Most video-based perceptual hashes work by taking a series of thumbnails at set intervals, say every 5% of the video, assembling a collage, and then making the perceptual hash against the collage.

As you note, it isn't particularly reliable, but it does actually tend to work fairly well against the loss of video compression. However, it doesn't tend to work well when the video is recut, with time added or removed. There is some research trying to combine approaches for finding important keyframes (ML-powered thumbnail searching) with perceptual hashing [0], which is looking promising, but it's still fairly unreliable.

One of the very first questions the site ran. It's a totally different platform and community in 2022.
A lot of this is tied to non proliferation. We'll carry the buck if you don't aquire nukes. So it's not as simple as who pays how much.
Tens of thousands of people are likely about to die and you're worried about a delayed video game?

That would be pretty dumb move.
Then they can no longer spy on Russians.
Firouzja is at a different point in his career than the other juniors. For most people, competing in a top online tournament for prizes and a shot at taking down Magnus is a great use of time. But for Firouzja, who is the world no. 2 at 18 years old and will be participating in the next Candidates Tournament, it’s all about grinding out classical training, learning openings, etc. He spent some time doing the online circuit and even won Titled Tuesday (a major weekly tournament with hundreds of grandmasters) twice in a row last year. When he emerges again, it will be to show dominance against the world’s elite at the most rigorous time control, aiming for the next World Championship. That’s what he wants.
NSF proposals are expressly not designed around funding 100% FTE research positions. "A single focused year" isn't what they're funding.
> and even if it does, it doesn't have popular support

Anecdotally, I've never seen so many people in my (wildly different) social circles agree on something political.
The new GitHub Issues – February 23rd update
When I came to the US in 2000 I already saw how insane US politics was. Political ads had no connection to any kind of reality and were basically purely attack and distortion. And since then it got only worse.
I think you missed the "just" in "just wars."

The US has been in lots of wars over the last century; what I said was that only two were just.
Is that 4300 mAh battery 3.7V or 7.4V? Is that a week of reading half an hour a day (3.5 hours total) or 24 hours a day? These intervals give a range of 95 mW (slightly less than a Swindle) to 9100 mW for "Optimized for e-book reading only (no radios or lights, periodic page turns), up to a week."

For my purposes neither 100 mW or 10000 mW counts as "excellent battery life". Like I said, what I'm interested in is submilliwatt computing.

Enough processing for an interactive computing environment is a lot lower power than running an e-ink display, comparable to the SHARP Memory LCD. Even conventional CMOS microcontrollers like the STM32L are down around 200 pJ per 32-bit instruction, at which rate running a conventional CLI environment (150 kips, like a C64 or CP/M box) costs about 0.03 mW, though you start to run into leakage and wakeup limits, and a 3M workstation like the Sun or PERQ (1 megapixel, 1 megabyte, 1 MIPS) should cost 0.2 mW. The Ambiq subthreshold line claims closer to 30 pJ per instruction, putting the 3M performance level back down to 0.03 mW, plus 68 μA overhead, which at 3.3V is 0.22 mW. You can totally do web browsing at that speed but we're talking Elinks or Dillo, not Servo or Blink (and so not Slack or Fecebutt).
It’s interesting how US intelligence has countered Russian misinformation campaign by exactly predicting what was going to happen. For months Russia has denied they intended to invade. After finishing military preparations and the encirclement of Ukraine they suddenly changed tone in the course of a week.
If you don't want to write a new window manager from scratch you could use icewm with the companion program icesh and implement this behavior in bash.
No, that's article 5. This is just(?) a consultation request.
This doesn't seem to be controlled for very, very important factors.

> However, the authors, led by Cody Watling from Oxford’s population health cancer epidemiology unit, made clear that their findings did not conclusively prove regular meat-eating increased the risk of cancer. Smoking and body fat could also help explain the differences found, they said.

As it is, there seems to be nothing to conclude from this study at all.
Russia-backed hackers behind powerful new malware, UK and US say
To clarify, just add spores to the water before deploying, it'll still be just as good in suppressing fires, and it reduces long term buildup. Win/Win!
I think they just developed with scale.
> And, the quote is onjectively bs. Hard times create hardened people who create hard time for others. And suffering.Good times are created by people who care and have right values.

And then you go on to express a not-so-objective viewpoint? OP is stating an idiom, a saying, a phrase. Let it be. There is nothing objective about it.
Most Trump supporters believe whatever Trump says. This gets you already way above of 5 percent.
Azov are ideological extremists but I wouldn't read much into it being a motivator for Putin. It's a combination of imperialism, a significant population of ethnic Russian separatists being in Ukraine, and NATO concerns.
On newpipe you can disable a lot of YouTube features, it might get you part of the way. For example you can disable related/suggested videos and the 'popular' tab, then you can only see things through search or links.
Especially once we're talking about staff.

Keeping a $100,000 scientific software developer on staff, at 10% hit rates (not out of the ordinary for the NIH), means writing a million dollars of grants per year.

And if one of them is successful, that salary is 40% of the total budget for a non-modular R01.
60% of the North Korean population lives in poverty[0]. Kim Jong-un wouldn't still be leader if his people knew how much better they could have it without his policies.

No, he'll take Ukraine only temporarily and then retreat back and hold smaller parts of it.
The thug also thinks his knife won't be needed.

Often I wonder which of our leaders has ever played poker. It seems like Putin has figured out that we won't push all-in, ever, so he steals another pot.

If the west really cared about this, the only way now is to retaliate way out of proportion to what's happened.

Before this happened, the west also didn't act like it wanted to contain the Russians, so the Russians got brave. If there had been some sort of response the Russians would have backed off. It's somewhat stable for both sides to bluster about this or that minor victory. Can't do that now.
> 60% of the North Korean population lives in poverty[0]. Kim Jong-un wouldn't still be leader if his people knew how much better they could have it without his policies.

IIRC, Russia media is basically like having pro-Putin Tucker Carlson on all the channels all the time. And if, despite that, anyone in Russia has even a small chance of actually undermine Putin, they'll find poison in their underwear and get an all-expenses paid trip to a gulag.
While there was talk of Russia joining NATO prior to the rise of Putin, Putin's specific comments on this matter were just empty political rhetoric done as a throw away sound bite to score a few points, not an actual genuine request to join NATO.
I was hoping that the whole thing was one big case of Russia trolling West for whatever reasons. Now I see that Putin just went insane and acts like a mad dog.
The Warhammer MMO was very close on a number of these key fronts - especially style and good gameplay feel.

It just failed for other reasons, notably the large overlap among people playing it and WoW deciding WoW was a better way to continue their time sink since they'd already invested, and the end-game content wasn't there at launch the way people expected it to be.

Interestingly, Blizzard did copy some of the key concepts from it for later expansions of World of Warcraft (open world "join in" style events / boss fights, to name one).
It's a closer match than Afganistan at least, although I don't think that Ukraine under Zelenskyy is remotely similar to Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Let's hope that Ukraine backfires on Russia at least as severely as Iraq did on the US.
Not OP but yeah, it tends to take a day or two after the API break for the devs to put out a new release.

Of course this is understandable though! YouTube is the one breaking the API and the devs react really quickly which is great.

Why use Bitcoin since that is not anonymous when they can use Monero or MobileCoin to totally be untraceble and bypass sanctions and on top of that use Signal with E2EE so that it is impossible to obtain your messages on any side of the conversation?

I mean an untraceable, uncensorable and a private cryptocurrency which can be used to bypass sanctions and fund operations whilst sitting on an E2EE messenger sounds like a great tool for criminals and on the battlefield. (!)
Candidly, my hit rate isn't high enough to assume it was me ;)

I didn't keep track of most of my cohort from that program, but the ones I have had been fairly successful. Mostly, I think the benefit was structured time and an available "red team" to read it (one contract research organization I've worked with had one of these, and it was an amazing experience) etc.
Is that not allowed? If someone gives you a house or a car, is it wrong to profit off it by renting it out or offering it on rideshare?
The Future of Tun and Tap VPNs on macOS (2020)
This isn't really a new concept. The only people who are bullish on crypto's intrinsic value are people who believe that laws and institutions are oppressive.

Even in its early history, cryptocurrency was a way to invest in outlawed activity. In the US, that might be dealing drugs. In Russia, that would be violating sanctions.

If all investments are bets, early cryptocurrency investment was essentially a bet that criminal activity would increase and/or that criminals would increasingly use that token.

Nowadays, speculation has likely drowned that "value" out, of course.
>> In the case of the Bvp47 Linux backdoor, Pangu Lab researchers say that it was used on targets in the telecom, military, higher-education, economic, and science sectors

So basically NSA spies also on scientists and their research.
Thank you for the great reply! I hope I didn't come across as mean spirited, I spent the whole day worried. My comment was meant to be critical but not dismissive - I feel like your response truly educated me as to how Nix could provide meaningful solutions.

Again, keep up the great work, and hopefully one day in the near future I'll be able to try out Simula in person!
This is one of these ideas that always float around. Files should be located by tags, not folders. Or file systems should be relational databases or file systems shouldn’t exist at all, etc.

But the fact is people are used to files and folders. Tools are built upon files and folders so changing everything is extremely difficult.

Plus all the tools that have tried to do things differently proved to be a pain:

1. Gmail tags: does anyone use the tag any diffrently from folder/file. Having multiple tags on an email means it’ll show up everywhere

2. Iphones didn’t have files, but it was so inconvenient it was added back

3. Microsoft relational file system was never released (i think)
For me, The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption had the most compelling environments. I spent probably half of my play time just walking-riding around.
Take steps like completely restricting Russian language in schools, public spaces, TV, etc? Considering that 100 years ago Ukrainian language was a dialect for peasants, that’s quite a leap. Communists started “rooting” - korenization - program in 1920s when Russians were wholesale written as Ukrainians in their ID papers, another 20 years of these steps and there will be no Russians left in Ukraine, same thing happened to Turks in Bulgaria. People remember and the current regime in Kiew is controlled by ultra-nationalists from Volyn and Galicia, with their worship of Bandera, OUN/UPA and the rest of the scum. When they came to power during Maidan, people hear the chant all the time - “Moskalyaku na gilyaku”. Do you know what it means?
I could see it happening accidentally.
WoW was a genius game. I played Classic recently and it was astonishing. I’m saying that as one who played all the expansions. It’s weird but I enjoy 2004 year game more than 2022. They lost it in Cataclsym and later.
