This is like a software engineer's idea of modular hardware. Looks like fun and may be great for one-offs. The problem for using a system like this for early prototypes and proof-of-concept is that the hardware AND software of a cost-optimized production device is going to be from a completely different planet.

I like the edge connector though - nice way to get a maybe-someday connector on a board without adding visible BOM cost. The board routing involved will cost money, of course, and the gold plating shown, if necessary, is also a cost adder.

> Where I have chemical structure X, and a system generates the process steps and chemicals needed to produce X.

Undergraduate chemistry students spend a fair amount of time learning how to look at a novel structure X and by disconnecting "backwards" it into simpler components, deduce a route by which it might be synthesed "forward" in the laboratory from readily available starting materials.

There's an excellent book on this, "Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach", by Stuart Warren.
Also ignores things like electric vehicles at scale (battery and charging tech), mRNA vaccines, blockchain, OCD treatment, DNNs, cable television (I think some of the best works of art are TV series now).
This is the hard truth that has taken me many years to accept. When it comes to politics, moral principles are for other people to follow. Lies, hypocrisy, doublethink, violence, etc. are all fair game if they advance the interests of your own group. I don't think there's a solution for this. It just is what it is.

We have the technology, it's called "taxes", but nobody seems to want to use it.

I suspect that it's actually because nobody has actually find the legwork to go beyond that: how much in taxes, levied how, the money goes where, what are the penalties for non compliance?

And of course the sci-fi elements: what are the unintended consequences? How does life change? Who loses, who wins?

Why did the DANMASK RCT fail so spectacularly?

> Also, not everyone is selfish, you're projecting the way you see the world onto other people.

Uncalled for. You might consider that to impose your views on others could easily be considered far more selfish than someone unwilling to participate in an activity, even one with such unimpeachable, proven benefits.
It's a full-on Vuze fork
> More precise definition of terms is also desirable

Which terms aren't well defined?

Sounds kind of like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady-state_economy

Except that definitionally, economists try to model the interaction of sentient beings (generally humans), not plants.
Ah, was that the origin of the name I wonder? Definitely would have been a nice idea. I'm also not fond of the custom connector.
Yes, that was a whole pile of marketing-engineering fluff that never made an attempt to explain what they had accomplished. The links in the article don't help either. They did hit climate change, though.

They stated that the qubits they are working with are topological defects similar to knots. OK, but defects in the topology of what? Spacetime? The Maxwell potential? Hilbert phase space?

How many topological qubits are needed to produce a logical qubit?

Then they mentioned nanowires connecting the topological qubits. Are those just tiny wires, or is there a quantum phenomenon associated with them? How is the readout done? I assume it's destructive?

As an aside, with all the subtle research being done on qubits and entanglement, I would have expected some clarity in the fundamental interpretation of QM by now (Copenhagen, Manyworlds, Bohmian), but I haven't heard of anything new for awhile.

Chemical and biological weapons are very useful in warfare as a way to demonize one combatant. False or doubtful claims of chemical weapons deployments have an effect on the response of the public and international organizations that is entirely out of scale with the damage that could be inflicted.

If they put cloudflare in front, would it still be right?
So, their tool will draw molecules that are good at doing harm, and that is it? No word on stabilization (which makes it safe to handle), synthesis, purification and such. I'd wager that most of these substances have at some point been on somebody's blackboard, but deemed impractical or infeasible, and then not pursued, and that's why we don't know them by name today.

Still a scary lesson though.
To understand women (and often also non-binary) only spaces, I guess one'd need to learn about trauma.

Imo the phrase "subconscious bullying" I think about covers "micro-aggressions" and was available before, but, idk, using that probably makes those accused of it less likely to engage.

I'm trying to find a book that sounds similar, one I read in the mid-1980s, in English. Can you recall any more details? I don't particularly recall distinct illustrations from mine, but they could have been there. I am sure the one I read had Fortran, Basic, Assembler, Forth, Apl, and PL/1. I'm not sure mine had the same program for each language, but the theme seemed to be giving a taste of each language, but not getting too deep into any of them. I think the one I am trying to find had a mostly orange cover and was a hardcover-sized paperback.

Because it’s a classic HN overreaction. Most of the cars sold today don’t have anything that would be remotely disabled. This thread literally started from someone being removed from a beta due to them being fired. It has nothing to do with Tesla disabling some paid feature.

It’s just classic HN FUD that pollutes literally any thread about anything car related. It’s tiring.
Murder can absolutely be a crime of opportunity. I think you're limiting your thinking of murder to premeditated cases where someone selects a target and then does whatever they need to do to get that target, and it didn't matter where that target was.

Let's assume for a moment that that was actually the case... wouldn't an area with a high murder rate be indicative of a lot of murder victims in the area, rather than murderers? I mean, if someone is murdered in New York City, and proximity to other people doesn't matter, it would follow that the murderer is just as likely to be in Cheyenne, WY as NYC. ;-)

Financial pressure is also societal.

I just feel like all this crying foul about authoritarianism is because people view certain roles, even the essential ones, as beneath them. If that mindset needs to be changed then I'm all for it. I don't deny that it will be hard, and I don't deny that I might be guilty of this myself.
I hope recent events have illustrated that if it weren't for the people who develop lethal weapons, we (as in you and I) would be helpless against the bullies of the world. Unilateral pacifism is cute philosophy only when there are rough men standing ready to do violence on their behalf.

Honestly, it sounded too over-dramatic and did not offer meaningful actionable consequences. The actual data is thin and not surprising at all, and it's also unclear how difficult it would be to design such harmful compounds without AI. I thought any capable chemist could easily come up with hundreds of harmful substances, old and new. I guess the AI is removing the chemist from the equation?
The part at the beginning where employees manually loaded possible search terms sounds like the semantic web to me. This project uses deep learning to automatically direct a whole space of possible search terms to an item, instead of just missing all the terms that were not manually added.

It looks like a great paper but sadly no open access.
Right, but portable code != portable performance. See also: OpenCL.

There's also the observation "keep simd vectors small but many" (e.g. Apple's arm chips) over "super long vectors" (intel avx512) is superior as it is much more flexible whilst delivering similar performance for tasks that are amenable to larger vectors. Having an architecture pushing towards the latter seems a retrograde step to me.

I know dealing with international meetings is challenging. In a former life I managed trading Korean equities from an office in Cambridge, MA (in addition to US equities— those were long days!!)

But doesn’t the fact that the scheduling itself requires some form of attention/expertise (e.g. is that time in your timezone or mine? Does DST apply this week? Does that change anything?), reveal that we’ve perhaps made this unnecessarily complex?

If you and me or any group were tasked with scheduling a meeting, wouldn’t it at least hypothetically be simpler to offer availability in terms of UTC (assuming nobody cares where you live, or if you’re a plant, or vampire)?
Yeah, but even though I am a software dev I'm inclined to look at it like an English major. It's one thing to develop a story that is intellectually powerful, it's another to develop one that is emotionally powerful.
This is very clever, and something I wished existed inside of AWS/Route53. It would greatly simplify some of the work needed for redundancy/resilience. Something similar as a locally-deployable "unbound/dnsmasq style" component would be neat as well.
If you equate smiling at someone, or just being generally courteous, with "emotional labor," you need to make an emergency appointment with your therapist.

Being a good human being more often than not (occasional bad moods notwithstanding) should be a non-functional requirement for any job where you interact with other people. I have no problem with anyone, in any role, getting fired simply for being an asshole. The world would be a happier and better place for it.
Right? I mean, I've never even been to Chicago myself, but one glance at Wikipedia[0]...

>South Side neighborhoods such as Armour Square, Back of the Yards, Bridgeport, and Pullman host more blue collar and middle-class residents, while Hyde Park, the Jackson Park Highlands District, Kenwood, Beverly, Mount Greenwood, and west Morgan Park feature affluent and upper-middle class residents.

... and I can't help but be incredibly confused as to why those "affluent and upper-middle class residents" would choose to live in an area where they wouldn't "in their right mind ... want to go wandering around" in.

Sure, you can have linguistic requirements ("You must speak Norwegian like a native") or affordances ("We're setting up a team of Ukrainian speakers"), but perhaps it would be fairer to market these jobs as "suitable for Ukrainian speakers" rather than "you must / must not be a Ukrainian refugee".
While I don’t recall ever having a problem with DOS, have you ever tried OS/2? We never attempted it due to the relative fragility of the system and lack of support, but thought it would have provided some more modern capabilities (this was back between 2000-2003).
This looks very neat.
As long as gas is used to produce electricity the energy delivery systems are not independent.

In a home the two systems generally serve different purposes so I am not sure the value of having both is as high as you suggest. My gas furnace/hot water heater won’t turn on, for good reason, without electricity. The only thing that works when the power is out is my stove top (not the oven) if I manually ignite it. They would work if I used a generator but that is third supply and it shouldn’t be lost that the output of the generator is electricity. That generator could itself be powered by natural gas but that is not common.
But by the time we strip mine the sea floor, or extract from the sea itself, we would've killed every wild living thing out there.

Sadly, there is maybe one comment here that engages with the actual article instead of the link-bait title. The nut of the article is:

> Although there’s now a consensus that human activities have irreversible environmental effects, researchers disagree on the solutions — especially if that involves curbing economic growth. That disagreement is impeding action. It’s time for researchers to end their debate. The world needs them to focus on the greater goals of stopping catastrophic environmental destruction and improving well-being.

It goes on to describe the debate over whether we should intentionally slow economic growth for environmental reasons.
I think this is interesting but I'm having trouble seeing how it would apply to the sorts of machine learning tasks that are drawing heavy interest in a radiology department. How does it apply to, say, development or testing of image segmentation tools? Quite often vendors want to sell us software and we would very much like to test it at scale on our own data to see whether it's trash or not because procurement is a beast. Does this sort of tool provide that sort of an interface somehow? I can see how it works for tablular data, I'm just not sure how you can guarantee PHI is fuzzed sufficiently in images.
Unfortunately, having been in the job market recently, I would say that it's normal.

Ive had my share of:

Ghosting and no contact

Ghosting and then shitty email saying I didn't show up

Interviewing and then summary dismissal from interview because I didn't have "pet" technology (which was stated at 1st interview)

Interviewing multiple rounds and then hit with "Do 4-8 hour assessment". NO.

Bait and Switch: Position band is $140k-$175k on ad. During 1st round, stated salary was really $90k.

Hostility when I asked questions (Why is the role available, etc)

Basically, hiring is broken consistently across everywhere. Some places are better than others. But no place really has good procedure for a decent and respectful hiring procedures. At best, it's a spin at the roulette wheel. Worst case, you get what happened to me back in November, and work for a place so toxic that you walk out 17 days later.

"It is about how Republicans use crime in cities as a hammer to hit Democratic policies and this data shows that narrative might not reflect reality."

If it's not looking at cities, then how can it refute that claim?

Is it not possible that city murder rates drag up the murder rate for an entire state? Just looking at the top state for murder rate we see the state level is about 12, while the first 3 cities in murder rate are all over 30 and run by Democrats. I'm not saying that this validates Republicans positions, but it certainly doesn't provide evidence against it.

My whole point is that this is a distraction.
There are situations when it is appropriate to confirm one's identity. Going to the supermarket isn't one, and comparing it to voting - or any of the other situations vaccine passports were to be required - is a nonsense.

I can agree with some of the other concerns you've listed, but if you're going to mix them in with reasonable actions by the government like protecting the integrity of elections, I wouldn't be surprised if those other concerns are undermined.
No one has to apply for a license to use machine learning models. They are merely communicating the fact that it's so trivially easy to do something like this, that pretty much anyone with an interest will be able to do so. The question is whether it was already trivially easy to design such compounds before or not, which I think it was, but I would be glad to hear a counterpoint.
It's certainly not limitless, lets say that.
At least in my experience - audio is much harder to convincingly fake than video. If you have heard the real person speaking, they have very specific and distinguishable patterns of speech.

You can fake it reasonably, but you need to have a very large collection of audio clips to do so, and if you do a bad job it literally jumps out at the viewer.

Video might be off, but it requires close attention and large screens to notice - much easier to miss if you're viewing on a phone.

Because the feedback-loops that allow for notions as isolated material wealth will lose traction (or at least that's what I estimate will happen). Where do you think automation will lead us over the course of ten generations? What will AI be capable of at that point?
After, say, 50% of people have nothing meaningful to contribute to society anymore via jobs, how will this change the perspective on work/wealth/etc as a whole? Now add another five generations after we reached that point, just to get rid of some friction of people holding on the the past.

The system design of power/hierarchy makes sense in a partitioned world of limited resources. If we expect any continuous level of progress in our problem-domains (for example fresh water), its just a matter of time until culture eradicates certain inequalities. As of now, there is an active demand for inequality. People want to be wealthy, and as it is, that requires others to be poor and do the shit jobs. One part of this equation will continue to change in our favor - maybe forever.

I don't think this is "so deeply ingrained into our species", I think its nothing but culture, or maybe some middle ground, in which case culture will be the dominant factor over the long run.
Seems like a good way to get to know your functions.
You are assuming the conclusion. If someone can desire 100 heads of lettuce a year. They can also desire (with much less marginal utility) 100,000 heads of lettuce per year if only to bury them back into the ground in which they were grown. This is what is meant by desires are unbounded.

You could put one of those tiny embedded microcontrollers behind cloudflare and it would be alright, provided the site is static. You might need a pro plan, but with the right cache headers each cloudflare origin would hit you once then serve many requests with that response.
For certain P, optimizations are possible.

For example, with P=1/3, the general method discards TT (P=1/9) and HH (P=4/9) and repeats, while keeping HT and TH (P=2/9 each). One could optimize this by only discarding TT while returning 0 for TT (P=4/9) and returning 1 for HT and TH (P=2/9 each, together also 4/9).

Generally we just want to partition the event space into three parts such that two are equally likely while the third one is used to "scratch that, just repeat". Keeping HT and TH guarantees that, but if you want to minimize retries, better solutions are possible.
Although, thinking about it, I wonder if the connector is designed for sequencing (power/ground first, then data) and if the linear insertion of the jack plug caused issues with that, since when the plug is being inserted the connector nearest to the outside contacts all three of the rings on the jack in turn.

Intelligent and deranged persons already have the tools to make way more casualties with way less effort using guns and/or explosives. The "problem" for them is that people who get sufficiently deranged to think that killing a few hundred (or even thousand) people will meaningfully solve the problem they are upset about will also be sufficiently deranged that their ability to reason coherently will be drastically reduced.
