It’s great science! Now, insofar as their English and grammar, that leaves much to be desired! That said, I’m more than willing to bet that two things are in play:
A. These publications would slough off an application from someone focused on writing faster than a skin from a boiled tomato.
B. Most people who “Love science” don’t place value in other areas of learning. STEM doesn’t include “writing eloquently”, to put that mildly.

The science itself seems fine though! Testing, measuring, experimenting. Yes. But either there ought to be an onus on us as readers or them as publishers to make clear what has been done. Otherwise, as I believe you can surmise, there’s no benefit to doing at all!

The liger is a hybrid offspring of a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger (Panthera tigris). The liger has parents in the same genus but of different species. The liger is distinct from the similar hybrid called the tigon, and is the largest of all known extant felines. They enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers, and are very sociable like lions. Notably, ligers typically grow larger than either parent species, unlike tigons.

I think the appeal of Substack can be seen by comparison to their closest big competitor, Medium:

1. Substack pages load quickly and cleanly. You don't have to watch your browser have a seizure as it brings in a long tail of weird ad/tracking crap.

2. The page is very low-distraction. The writing is given pride of place.

3. I hit paywalls and login walls on Medium much more often than on Substack.

4. I know many interesting writers on Substack. I don't know any interesting writers on Medium.
If tech consolidates into 5 big corporate behemoths the same way the auto industry did for 60 years the VC easy money spigot could well dry up.

Billionaires will find some other shiny baubles to throw money at. Maybe somebody will invent a new kind of real estate or biotech will explode.
I don't know if I buy that, I find it a lot more likely to be because russian tanks are significantly smaller than their western counter parts. I think it's a space saving measure.
There are always going to be some subjective decisions in the lossy encoding process. Determining which bits to drop via encoder configurations/customization is far from an exact science. These decisions themselves can act as a watermark.
This is a fun project. If there was an option to have a Xerox effect, this could be fun for zinemakers too. I found a discussion where people were figuring out how to recreate GIMP's "Photocopy" effect in ImageMagick:

Very cool, thanks for the resources. Awesome rabbit hole to go down!
You're supposed to compost any shit before using it as fertilizer. Appling poop directly to a plant is never really a good idea unless you water it down a lot.
And a lot more than that! You'll be trusting: a load of silently-linked dylibs; some guy called Linus; some thing called GCC or LLVM (gosh, you don't get that with C); some weird packages called libc and crt0 and shit like that - and much much more besides.

It's almost as if "a sysctl replacement?!?" is necessarily built on an extremely complex edifice of code, due to how modern computers work, which can be hidden (cf: dynamic linking) but not avoided. ;)

(Less facetiously: Yes, if you start thinking through, from first principles, all the machine code which has to run in order for this tool to function on an acceptable range of computers, you can then start to grapple with the real problem, which is unfortunately more complex than "how many Rust crates does `cargo tree` output?".)

"We are all at a wonderful ball where the champagne sparkles in every glass and soft laughter falls upon the summer air. We know, by the rules, that at some moment, the Black Horseman will come shattering through the great terrace doors, wreaking vengeance and scattering the survivors.

What time is it?’ But none of the clocks have any hands."

OP here. I agree that there are a lot of problems with the Times' coverage; I deploy a heavy skepticism filter and I subscribe to various newsletters for perspective, analysis, and deeper coverage of topics I'm interested in. That said: do you know of a better source for general national (US) / world news? I haven't found anything that really strikes me as less problematic. I tried to leave after the Slate Star Codex mess, and failed.
"functionally how would you ever get caught?"

Most people get caught because of some other issue. It could be that you needed a home repair, had guests over, etc and someone saw something and reported it. It could be that you're investigated for some other issue. It could be that someone posts something online or in a text and you're later investigated for something else.

Yes, there's a very small chance of getting caught doing a number of things if you do it right. Even the overall murder solve rate (which includes non-prosecutions for weak cases or lacking evidence) is only about 70% in the US, and I imagine that many of the ones caught don't do it "right". But it's the value proposition that matters. Is it worth making a couple of gallons of alcohol that I could legally purchase for a few hundred dollars or less when there's a small chance of me going to prison for years and owing tens of thousands in fines and fees? Remember, we don't have a justice system, but merely a legal system. They would not hesitate to ruin my life and my family over a few gallons of illegally produced liquor, as they've done it to others.

Technically you just need construction to outstrip people looking for homes.

One of the problems is people can move quite quickly from one side of a country to another, it's a matter of weeks. But from empty lot to new house is a matter of months at best, years at worst.
I want to add that even if I have not seen for many years any problems with Xorg, on a wide variety of hardware, that does not mean that there are no problems with Linux.

In my opinion, the worst hardware problems in Linux are usually with Bluetooth or with audio.

I have not encountered yet hardware problems that could not be solved in Linux (unlike for Windows Enterprise, where I have met unsolvable problems).

Nevertheless, in the case of Bluetooth and of audio, I have encountered frequent cases when the default configurations would not work and when finding how to make the right configuration was highly convoluted and unintuitive, so many hours could be lost with that.

Even so, the difficulties of installing Linux versus Windows, Android or Mac OS are just a myth.

Most users see that Windows and the other commercial operating systems just work, because they have been preinstalled by professionals on their computers.

When you are the professional who must install Windows on a new computer and when that computer happens to be slightly non-standard, which is the case for most embedded computers, installing Windows is usually much more difficult than installing Linux.

I have encountered cases when I had to work a week to succeed in making Windows have an acceptable performance on a computer on which Linux just worked from a live USB stick, without any problems.

I mean, every time is different in the sorts of companies/sector of the economy that fails. The large tech companies actually do have solid fundamentals. The dynamics of the business cycle remains the same though and some more speculative companies will fail (taking a look at the 6-month performance of Asana, Palantir, Zoom, etc makes me quite happy as a shorter).

This really happens, especially at big companies. The lack of logic in requiring a literal wet signature but then scanning and emailing the resulting document gets lost in the "but the policy says...". It's mostly been with compliance and security groups in my experience.

There is an idea floating around the econosphere that China helped build all this housing while raw materials were cheap. You will note as well that China also ended their one child policy in 2016. So it is possible that they were building houses for a population they knew they would need to house in the future.

Tons of tech stocks and valuations, especially the unprofitable ones, are down 50-66%. It definitely burst. Supply shortages, inflation, and the war provided a sanity check.

On the other hand, 2021 was the biggest venture year ever. Everyone made a ton of money in the stock market, and needed to do something with it. The returns on ventures mean that its now a real investment channel that is here to stay.
I discussed this with our realtor: forfeiting your full 3% earnest deposit is apparently rare. It’s not automatic, and when somebody backs out due to a non-contingent reason, it’s usually for a fraction of the full earnest deposit. (At least, that’s for the SF Bay Area.)

Yep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinert:

“As perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), all Fluorinert variants have an extremely high Global Warming Potential (GWP),[1] so should be used with caution”

That page also says

“Although Fluorinert was intended to be inert, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory discovered that the liquid cooling system of their Cray-2 supercomputers decomposed during extended service, producing some highly toxic perfluoroisobutene. Catalytic scrubbers were installed to remove this contaminant.”

Perfluoroisobutene is a schedule 2 substance, in the sense of the Chemical Weapons Convention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Schedule_2_substances_...), so it’s a substance that “can either be used as chemical weapons themselves or used in the manufacture of chemical weapons but that have small-scale applications outside of chemical warfare and so can be legitimately manufactured in small quantities”.

Good point - there's nothing in Substack that's specific to journalism - it is a platform for presenting text and basic media with a date attached, really.

The most prominent figures on there are journalists or ex-journalists however.

It is a bit like Twitch - it doesn't have to be for gamers, but since 99% of the streamers and 99% of the watchers are interested in games when they go there, it is what it is.

As for doing journalism - there is no incentive to do good work in just about every field. Sad face shrug.

Despite using quaternions all the time as a game developer, I’ve never really taken the time to fully understand them mathematically.

The article is pretty embarrassing for the NYT and also a good example of why people are abandoning the old media. The top talks and talks about it being dominated by white men.

Then further down the article, they list the top sellers: "The most successful is the history professor Heather Cox Richardson, who has more than a million paid and unpaid subscribers. Other notable writers include the knighted novelist Salman Rushdie, the punk poet laureate Patti Smith and the Eisner-winning comic book writer James Tynion IV."

How many of this list is white and male?

Yeh this was my initial concern with optical silhouette classification. The altitude and targets are quite small (and rapidly moving). I've thought about using optical flow analysis to track wingbeat frequency etc as I feel this might be a little simpler to acquire.

On wingbeat frequency I'm very curious to play around with mmWave doppler radar (there's some RF on chip stuff around), emitting a relatively isotropic signal might allow for a pretty wide field of view and I imagine you'd get a pretty reasonable wingbeat signal.

Human beings are like plants that must be watered. Our difference is that our “soil” is our blood, and to get it “dry” to absorb more water means two things:
Changing the level of salinity to allow more water via osmosis, and altering the composition of neurally-reactive cations and anions.

Nothing is better than sprawling outwards. Most of the white collar jobs can be done remotely , so commute is not needed. Most of groceries and other stuff can be delivered. A truck doing 100 deliveries is surely less traffic than everyone going to the supermarkets. And most importantly with sprawling outwards citizens can enjoy the outdoors and take care of their health. And even more importantly high density of population leads to increased crime , encourage homelessness and provide all sorts of administrative nightmares.I would say we have reached a technological inflection point where we at at last free to spread out and yet stay connected. Let us embrace it. This is the future. This is the way.

I feel like we should kill 2 birds with one stone: Bats and bat guano.

Guano used to be mined for gunpowder, to the point where the US annexed a few islands after the Guano Islands Act of 1856. If bat guano is usable as fertilizer, we could design some basic guano-collecting bat shelters that act like an automatic litterbox for cats.

The bats get a home, and the equivalent of a flush-toilet, while we get bats, less bugs, and plenty of batshit ideas.

>>>It would be a very sad state of affairs if NATO basically used the Ukrainians to soak up as much damage as the Russians can inflict in order to weaken it

No one will openly state it but I'm confident this is the perspective in the US's halls of power. It's possibly the only thing the CIA and State Department have done right in the past ~25 years, and I think it's more a stroke of luck that the Russian military is surprisingly-incompetent than anything deliberate on our part. If Russia had performed as expected, this war would have been over in 72hrs and we'd be making excuses just like we did when our Afghan house of cards folded.

>>>Don't know that they have the man power for that

Manpower isn't the problem. They don't have the munitions or the logistics to pull off such grand operational maneuvers. And moving large conventional forces into Russia itself would be a hugely destabilizing escalation. It would give Putin an excuse to actually mobilize his reserves, and give stronger justification for employment of tactical nuclear weapons (which people are already concerned he might use).
They didn't necessarily choose it for the merits of the service. There's no all-things-equal decision on features, model, or viability that the rest of us make when one throws significant money at you and the others don't.

But then people who don't know or understand this yet might subscribe to one of these paid contributors and think, gee, Substack must be a great platform because Famous McBrain writes on it, as opposed to the subtly more accurate point that Substack's _money_ must be great because Famous McBrain took it.
