In the US we have a thesis proposal as well. However something I've learned is that no five-page document, no matter how well considered, can ever determine the optimal strategy for how to spend a 4-5 year slice of your research life. The whole point of research is to learn new things: new things sometimes imply changing direction.

> Yes, people have stated that 'the kids will be fine' quite consistently. Also, all costs other than deaths have been underplayed by people in favour of lockdowns. Memory-holing this is literally insane (where insane = disconnected from reality).

Perhaps this hinges on your definition of "fine" - will most of these children become functional well adjusted adults? Sure, people can weather far worse things than this. But will they be set back on their education? Unquestionably.

As a parent of an elementary school child, I can tell you that if "people" were saying schools closures were of no consequence, they were idiots or charlatans. From the beginning it was obvious that a "remote only" learning plan for kids this age was going to be terrible, and it would exacerbate any underlying inequality that was already in place.

"People" can and do state absolute nonsense all the time, so the fact that "people have stated" something dumb is, on its own, a useless data point. The more useful question is whether these people who were making bold claims that there would be no harm successfully manipulated public policy.

One of the problems with enterprise workflows is putting everything together. Workflows are already cacophonous. A cacophony of cacophonies is madness.
To me in the UK, "fire" generally refers to letting someone go because of incompetence, bad behaviour, or whatever - the role will still exist but the individual is let go. In which case you're entitled to whatever your contract says, which is probably "stop now and we'll pay off your notice period". Whereas layoffs and redundancies mean the roles are disappearing, the individuals being a side-effect (indeed, you aren't legally allowed to target individuals AIUI. Happy to be corrected on this, though)

I've never been fired, but I have been made redundant twice. Both times I'd not been in the role longer than 2 years which meant I was legally entitled to fuck all. First time, that's exactly what I got. Second time, the company was laying off such a significant proportion of staff that they were mandated to negotiate with those affected and come to an agreement about notice, pay, etc. They came with an OK offer; the employees requested a lot more; the company met us half way. Being entitled to nothing, I was very happy with what I ended up taking home :)

> The easiest way to understand 100,000 concurrent threads is by making all 100,000 threads do the same thing and execute the same code.

If all your threads are off doing different things at different times, and executing different sets of code, you might have problems understanding your algorithm.

Its a restriction for sure, but it does lead to far simpler "thinking". There's still a very rich space of parallel algorithms that can be explored within this restricted space.

In effect: you probably *don't* want to write general-purpose "desynchronized" code unless you really have to. Keeping all 100,000 threads synchronized and in roughly the same spot of code really makes your brain think a lot easier.

Thanks for this perspective. I am one of these mismatched PhD students. When I entered 6 years ago, no professors in my department had time to advise me. The professor for whom I was a GTA took pity on me after two years of rejection, and now serves as my committee chair despite having little to no expertise in my field. I am coadvised through a different department, but again, my coadvisor has little overlap with my interests. I am nearing completion, but stumbling over the lack of support, technical leadership, and community of practice. I am unconvinced that my proposed dissertation is meritorious or valuable in any way, but the only advise my advisors can give is “persist and finish quickly” because I am more expert than both of them. Defending feels like a gamble. The bitterness that comes from poor-fit advising is real, even when both advisors are earnestly doing their best. I wish I had learned this lesson sooner and quit with a master’s when I had the chance.

What about that demonstrates a fundamental change in humanity, or specifically, a reduction in the overproduction or overconsumption of goods?

> Also the last 10.000 years never happened.

Do you have 10k years to spare?

If anything, I’d argue that most of our contemporary problems are a result of our fundamental nature failing to adapt to the new environment — and new problems — that we’ve created over the past 10,000 years.

Spending all that money on a failed campaign doesn't seem like a very effective use of that money.

On top of that, running in a primary against a candidate that they admit is "well-qualified" doesn't seem very consequentialist to me. It has a lot of negative outcomes for the winning candidate. They spend their time messaging against the loser, instead of focusing on winning the general election.

That district has a slight Democratic lean. If they lose the general election, any degree of fault that stems from having spent money against the winner will have gone directly against their apparent goal.

This is my concern with the Effective Altruism movement in general. It's prone to the kinds of errors smart people make, believing that they're smarter and better-informed than they are. It's not that consequentialism is bad, but that if you don't understand the consequences, you will make things worse instead of better.

They supported a candidate they describe as a "political neophyte". Politics is a domain of knowledge, just like programming or crypto or anything else. You can't just slip into it by being smart and skip the parts where you know who the players are, what rules they're playing by, and what's actually at stake.

Effective Altruism might do best to follow their own advice: find an expert and do what they say, rather than believing that you can do better without experience. If they don't think that applies to politics, perhaps they should stick to domains that they know better.

Criticizing in a vague way is a great way to make a broader point if people already agree with you.

If they don't, then it's completely unconvincing because it doesn't actually provide any new information.

So if the goal is to gripe to other people who "get it", then sure, vague criticisms are great.

If the goal is to convince people that something is an issue, then all vague criticisms do is establish what your opinion is; they fail to actually provide information that could (justifiably) convince anyone.

At best, they can convince someone to be interested enough to look into it on their own.

Where is the money going? As usual in the US, not to the people doing the work.
I can't speak to the "by law" part. But many universities, including two that I have experience with, consider the PhD stipend to be compensation for a part time job (RA/TA), accounting for 20 hours of the student's time, with the idea that the remaining 20 hours are to be devoted to taking classes. And during the summer, when a student may not be taking classes, a student may receive a full 40 hours' worth of compensation.
Medical schools usually have separated funding sources too. Many professors are in fact practicing medicine in their field.

In the real world, crimes have very specific definitions. Most are physical, in fact.

For example, robbery is when, with intent to commit theft, you take property by force.

Anything else is not robbery.

Theft by taking is: when a person unlawfully takes or, being in lawful possession thereof, unlawfully appropriates any property of another with the intention of depriving him of the property, regardless of the manner in which property is taken or appropriated.

(The above is georgia, robbery/theft/etc are state crimes so defintions vary a bit)

Again, it requires doing so unlawfully (or converting unlawfully).

If doing what this person did isn't unlawful in the real world, it's not theft, it's not robbery, it's not anything.

So you have to find a crime that actually matches what happened.

It's not wire fraud - that would require " false statement, promise, or misrepresentation in order obtain money or something of value from someone else."

etc

So what crime do you believe this actually is?

That assumption of politeness and civility was well on its way out around 1998.

Now all the people who insisted the Greens had been co-opted by Big Oil will be completely silent about their having now been co-opted by Big Nuke. But Big Oil/Gas/Coal loves new nuke projects; each represents a decade or more of still buying fossil fuels, instead of incrementallly displacing fossil with renewables.

What this really means is probably that their position is moot, because no new nukes are planned or likely.

Delays and cost overruns on a nuke construction project are, for many stakeholders, the whole point of the project. Actually beginning to deliver power to the grid is the end of their income stream, thus to be fought tooth and nail. The larger a project is, the more stakeholders it usually needs, and thus the more active participants who do not want it delivered. The prevalence of this dynamic varies from place to place; it has long been dominant in the US, not just for nuke projects, but for urban tunnels and other big public works projects.
The good paying jobs are focused on where there is a high return on capital (or at least perceived to be a high return).

The sad thing is that people start to think of returns to capital as « societal value » when the two are independent variables
> effective compensation well above 75k per year

What are you even talking about? Are you counting the bullshit known as “tuition” in the compensation? PhD candidates are really employees, not students.

Even a Princeton postdoc’s comp doesn’t reach 75k. A bit more than 50k actually in the physics department (might have risen a bit in the past few years, not sure).

Read the article! It's a suprisingly balanced, thoughtful take on the job of cs lecturer at Berkeley.

In particular, the author mentions important issues like cheating, "grade grubbing" (and its primary cause), managing the 100 employees, associated with the course, and revising materials (which I was very suprised to find out that an adjunct would be in charge of!).

(In contrast to the discussion here, which when I read it focused solely on the compensation aspect. Look for something else in the piece! There's more there than money.)

Perhaps the research group and the culture plays a part on people taking out a good experience out of the PhD. The problem is to find the right place at the right time for you, matching your interests, and having people pursuing research with a reasonable amount of ego (note that I didn't say 'no ego').

Or it might not.

Thats the root of the problem. The administrators are the people coming up with the metrics and arguments to justify their own existence.

I’m sure many of them believe they’re making a positive contribution, and the situation is more complex and tragic than just “these are the baddies” type arguments suggest, but there’s still an accountability problem that needs to be reckoned with.

I don't accept either side of the argument as true, my point is simply that telling someone to keep their story to themselves unless they can present an argument that satisfies a scientific standard is missing the point being made. People make arguments that are purposely vague to avoid causing undue harm both to themselves and, believe it or not, to the people they are accusing. Usually you do this because you're not interested in bringing to light the specifics of one particular instance as if this is an isolated case, but rather to let others who may find themselves in a similar circumstance know that they aren't alone.

There is a comment against that video by user jem780 that claims to quote an Australian academic to counter the argument that there are inadequate uranium reserves.

When I was watching the video, that argument reminded me of the Peak Oil campaign from about twenty years ago. This claimed that the world had reached a point where the amount of oil available would be in decline going forward, and claiming that this justified major changes. At the time, this Peak Oil claim got a lot of sympathetic coverage in mainstream media. Oil production has been healthy in the years since, and technology changes have opened up new reserves.
