The gross old shit only still exists because the entrenched industries have the ability to lobby for government subsidies. Imagine if people in the US had to actually pay full price for gas, or for their meat.
I read it as: "Instead of building one really expensive car to continue to explore in one direction let's build lots of cars and explore in all directions". To me that shows an attitude full of curiosity.

That sounds kind of like what every government dreams of - an institution you fund that does important scientific work and also generates a thriving ecosystem of private sector companies?

> But there is no way to interpret what it can do, in my mind

Would not you say instead that «model has learned /given statements about/ drug biochemistry at some significant level»? You say it yourself that it cannot «infer or speculate on mechanism from first biochemical and medical principles».

Students should not pass exams because they have memorized the book - they would be said to "have memorized the notions" and not to "have learned the matter". (We may note that, linguistically, 'learn' has a strong connotation of activity: it is "track chasing", so "investigating".)

> it embodies a theory of protein folding

This reminds me of the surprise researchers got from some AI (possibly even classical - simulated annealing?) produced models for microprocessors, where the "monstrous" (unordered) layout was discovered to have used important non-processing chunks of immediately unexplicable circuitry just for thermal properties and timing. The AI can come up to an effective solution, which can be theoretically very much not clean.
the collider itself lends itself to few directly tangible benefits, however the construction of the collider and analysis of the data is one of the largest innovation engines in the science world.

a prolific amount of software, engineering, and material science has come from CERN, as well spinning off numerous high-tech startups.
This is going to sound like fanboy talk. But both Mac and Windows tend to feel slower and slower over time, each upgrade somehow pushing your 'old hardware' to new limits.

On Linux it's often the opposite and a new update may even makes your old machine faster than it ever was.
Dot was used for performing vulnerability assessments on many biometric KYC vendors on 2022. The Verge covered this study in this article https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/18/23092964/deepfake-attack-...
I love these tiny decoders, even if their use cases are limited. To me this is as much art as it is programming.

For Javascript I ran into these two recently:

Tiny LZW(ish) encoder/decoder. The decoder is 141 bytes: https://gist.github.com/mr5z/d3b653ae9b82bb8c4c2501a06f3931c...

RegPack, a non-standard encoding, but an awesome approach for small chunks (1-4KByte is optimal) of self contained compressed code, using regular expressions for decoding: https://github.com/Siorki/RegPack

The USB-C port is also awesome for docking station setups. Just one cable to plug in for power and all peripherals. But for mobile use I definitely like to have the choice of magsafe.
I don't disagree that they own it, but I disagree that it's a bad movie. I actually found the movie largely enjoyable even without its real world context, but I acknowledge that this is a matter of personal taste.

The Wachowskis not being involved wouldn't have affected the movie's commercial success. There are plenty of examples of "franchises" being carried on by different directors even in directions the original director never intended and to still be successful.

What the Wachowskis did was take a story that had nothing left to tell and then make a movie about the experience of having to keep adding to that story, drive home the point of the original story and provide an ending to the story that is impossible to write around without discarding the source material and starting over (not that that stopped e.g. Star Wars Rise of Skywalker from doing pretty much this with The Last Jedi).

The Matrix is intrinsically anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian and queer. But much of its fanbase likes it entirely for cosmetic reasons (cool slomo fights and explosions and sunglasses). WB would have been entirely happy to cater to that crowd and would likely have gotten away with it. Instead the movie ended up amplifying those themes and alienating anyone who just wanted another film with cool slomo fights and explosions and sunglasses. And IMO they did it in an interesting way nevertheless.
But isn't that also exactly why the whole effort is a bit futile? If it takes this much effort to detect that an event is even happening, you end up describing something that only really happens in a lab situation and has not much relevance for the real world.

That said, LHC cost $4.75 billion that's pretty much nothing compared to the amount of money that gets thrown around in the tech world. So might still be worth it just for the fun of it, even if the discoveries don't have any direct application.
I'm not running my MBP 14" as hard as some other devs here, but it's been fantastic, and I've never encountered any slow down anywhere.

(Running intellij, pycharm, emacs, garageband, steam gaming)

The pang of FOMO now just after WWDC 2022 of seeing the M2 is understandable.

I had the same feeling.

But it's really just FOMO, if you can get by with your M1 mac (air or pro) there's no real need to run to the store and trade up.

There will always be an M3 or M4 by the time you're at a genuine upgrade cycle point.

As a portable computing solution, the biggest boon has been the battery life, lasting long enough to be truly portable without power outlet anxiety. This is absolutely a killer feature compared to other similar laptops.

Yes, that's a good analogy, it's pretty much the exact same situation, with the only difference that the government collects tax while DNS is in the hands of private corporations.

Imo there is a good argument for property tax if you view land as a somewhat public good. After all some wealthy family can and in some cases in the old world literally does own vast stretches of land for centuries. That's basically hereditary aristocracy, probably not the best political system we could come up with. So imposing a tax/rent on land ownership seems reasonable to me.

Anyway, I may be digressing because the point wasn't even if it's good or bad, just that it isn't ownership in the way people generally understand the term. With DNS I find it personally questionable why it's in private hands if we as a society have decided to impose a tax/rent. It used to be public afaik, it's a bit like privatizing the water supply. I think most people would be against it if they know how the internet works. They simply never noticed it even happened.
I’m a bit confused here. You can pick what colours to use? https://www.prepressure.com/library/file-formats/gif The gotcha is you’re limited to a small number of colours, unless you apply dithering to increase that slightly.

Whatever you do, don’t use “web safe” colours as that refers to a time (in the late 90s) when not all monitors could display more than 256 colours (if I recall correctly, due to graphics cards and operating system settings), and Windows and Mac disagreed slightly, resulting in 216 “web safe” colours.

But you’ve always been able to pick the colours a gif uses and these days perceptual modes exist to try and simulate the colours better with dithering.

And this has nothing to do with the original post.

I think it is telling that most of the tools on this website (and in similar collections I have seen) are diagrammatic in nature. Diagrams might have been the most important “tools for thought” since our ancestors invented lists, tables, calendars and maps, long before recent note-taking app startups used this expression for their marketing purposes (which is absolutely fair and I am always happy to see when thinking tools become more popular outside of business/science contexts).

I think it has something to do with how intertwined structure is with diagrammatic representation. Models as well as systems are all about structure, which is why you often see them represented in diagrams (and if you don’t, you may still think about them in diagrammatic terms). And yet, historically diagrams have often been neglected in science until very recently.

I believe digital tools are still missing a lot of their potential as thinking tools because of how text-centric they are. I don’t suggest that it could have been different, given technical constraints and demands, but maybe computers would aid our thinking much more if they would actually allow us to more freely and intelligently draw diagrams. Ivan Sutherlands Sketchpad was a great step in that direction (I am sure most of you have seen it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad) and more recently the work of Bret Victor (http://worrydream.com/MediaForThinkingTheUnthinkable/). But in many regards I believe that paper is still superior to what we have done so far.
Your criticism applies to basically all STEM research. Personally I like progress.

When KubeCon in Spain was announced we had half of San Francisco complaining on Twitter until they reintroduced masks (against local regulations), damaging the event for the rest of us.

Now the same crowd are up in arms with fake moral outrage and myths about Dubai.

Anyone attempting anything in life should avoid Twitter. It’s a negative, unrepresentative cesspit.

As a part time resident, I think Dubai is a great choice for all of the reasons they state, and it’s nice to see big conferences going there.
Knee-jerk ramble ahead...

I didn't watch the keynote, I just scanned the first page of hype on the website. The _only_ think I want is multiple points on my maps. I don't even have iOS15 yet and see nothing compelling about this release.

I've become "too old for this stuff"... and also too afraid of behemoth companies owning my life.

Can we have the old Apple back, please? Their tools were appealing, fun to use and stayed out of your way. Today's Apple looks slimy, creepy and overwhelming. And I actually trust them more than others to live up to the privacy and care promises they make.. they seem to do better than others. I just don't want them doing it in the first place.

I do too. Unfortunately these relics show what the old internet would be today. *.eu.org is mostly populated by scammers.

Building a new internet that starts from where the old internet ended and makes internet work again like old internet is what we need. You need reputation control and propagation etc.
For serendipity to work its magic you need to be able to explore the solution space. In high energy physics that usually means putting more energy into a system, as (naively said) that will increase the amount of stuff that will happen. So I'm all for building bigger and bigger accelerators, even if they cost trillions of dollars to make, as we have only explored a tiny piece of the energy scale so far, and we're pretty sure very interesting stuff happens at higher scales (ultimately, grand unification of all forces).

Also, there's a mutual relationship between theory and experiment in physics. The LHC was well motivated by theoretical predictions (most notably the Higgs boson) that needed experimental verification. In physics you have to put your theories to the test, otherwise they're not worth much. Each experimental result is like a nail that fixes a part of your theory space (by excluding possible alternative theories), and that then allows you to explore the space further with greater confidence. Hence the more nails, the better.
> It's very obvious in the NEXT screen that you can configure RAM.

That is the whole point and I said that already...

If you look through this thread you see quite a few peopke thinking you can only get 8gb of ram because the only two models shown feature 8gb and no text next to that indicating otherwise. Only if you think that apple might be lying, you go to the next page and see that they offer more than 8.

No, scroll down a lot and then it is hidden in the fluff text. Great, doesn't change that it is missing in the central place people actually look at.

All the "well technically you can find out by jumping through these hoops" does not change that this is bad UX.

The Azure DP-203 from Microsoft will assist you in comprehending the data generated by your IT infrastructure on a daily basis. Every day, A typical IT organization generates a lot of data every day, which is why it's important to have a team of people who can integrate, transform, and consolidate data from various structured and unstructured systems into structures that can be used to generate analytics solutions.

As a result, there is a significant gap between the demand and supply for Data Engineers. According to various surveys, The average salary of a Data Engineer is $116,591 per year, which is much higher than the national average of $44,564. As a result, Data Engineers earn 261% more than the average American.
There are numerous online platforms that offer Microsoft Azure DP 203 Certification but I would suggest you if you want to enhance your knowledge of Azure and attain the highest standards then SkillUp Online will be the best place to start with.

You're missing the second part of his argument. Serendipitous discoveries can come from anywhere, so it does make sense to pay attention to cost. Which would you think would be a better bet for a random win, 100k separate experiments, or just one large experiment that's a scaled up version of something we already have?

If you say the second, you have severe scope neglect: 100k is a huge number.

Of course, one expensive experiment may be the right call in some situations, but only if you have good reason to think it'll pay off. Either because you're certain it will, or because the expected utility of unknown results is larger than the cost (expected utility being probability times value). This very much isn't the case here.
> The "obsession" is with having a good common platform for development. Powered by some of the fastest rendering engines on the planet, some of the fastest language runtimes out there.

Nothing in this sentence applies to web browsers. The rendering in browsers is abysmally slow and extremely inefficient due to the way DOM is structured and rendered on-screen.

> Webapps like VSCode run stupid fast

Sure, if you're a trillion-dollar corporation with thousands of man-hours dedicated to a single app, then sure, you can have a decent app. However, the whole story of VS Code is the story of fighting against its browser origins. You could, for example, read up on how they tried to make the terminal in VS Code fast.

Thank you, your outraged reaction has entirely proved the point I was
making about identification and its effects. Change is coming, whether
you like it or not. The greatest obstacles are probably not technical,
but psychological. It's coming for reasons of ecological fact, not
because anyone wants to subject others to meritless restrictions. (As
if one guy on the internet had that power.)

And people will adapt to it, because that's what we've been doing for
hundreds of thousands of years. That's not ugly, it's beautiful. It's
beautiful that humans are adaptable, resilient and inventive.

Exactly.

Microsoft makes so completely bonkers amounts of money just from Windows and Office that they can use it to prop up other branches of their business that aren't generating profit yet.
Probably because highways are almost always public projects, funded by taxpayer money. There is little incentive to be efficient and cost effective.

Good point with secondary benefits being equal.
You're kidding right? For one thing, these statistical odds do nothing to change the tragedy of death or disappearance for the families of any of those people. Secondly, the numbers don't include unreported murders and disappearances.

Even if you still try to minimize these factors with dry presentation of statistical odds with these additional causes of death/disappearance included, remember that certain activities dramatically increase the odds of being a victim. These activities are far from strange things. They include things like frequent travel, driving or travelling alone, especially at night, walking certain areas at certain times and so forth. The dangers are very real and affect people's behavior in many unfortunate ways that don't easily show up in a trite statistical summary.

I'm not trying to be dramatic. over 120 million people in the country live their lives every day and millions of them still do lots of interesting recreational things, but there is a shadow across much of what in other places would be much safer.
The web was created to share text documents with a few images here and there among the text.

That's it.

Sure, users benefit from rich apps. The web isn't a suitable platform for rich apps and will hardly ever be.
Yeah, it might be a non competitive investment for private investors because of the high risk compared to the low return or because the benefits are only seen years down the line, so results in a low annualized rate (you need to do it via nth root, not via dividing the returns by n). So governments do that investment instead. As a government you see things differently. Unless it goes abroad, the money is never gone, but is just going circles in your economy. If there is an added benefit of improvements decades down the line, even better.
I have started calculating things in LHCs.

The LHC is a massive machine with advanced technologies, took a decade to design and build, involving 10k scientists and the international community, and cost $9B.

- Squadron of F-35 aircraft: ~0.2 LHCs
- JWT: 1.1 LHCs
- ITER: >2 LHCs
- Elon Musk's wealth: 24 LHCs
- Microsoft's market cap: 30 LHCs
- US annual military budget: 90 LHCs
- US national debt: 3389 LHCs

Given the bizarrely huge numbers casually throw around nowadays, I think it's useful to keep some perspective.

I think (though not 100% sure) that covers all prescriptions too, not just those to manage diabetes.
I'm just a layman who loves physics, but this article does make a point. The LHC was built to definitively prove or disapprove existing theoretical models, like the Higgs boson. If the exponential increasing of cost of the LHC++ can't even promise new proofs or discoveries, then isn't that money better spent on other scientific experiments that will advance science? I'd have no problem with Europe spending that money on the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), or many other projects.

Still a little confused with Stage Manager, but thinking about it as a replacement/enhancement for Spaces makes it seem a lot more interesting and useful.

Even though Spaces is an awesome idea, I find it very inconvenient to use even with 4-finger swiping. Perhaps it's the lack of visual cues that is the issue for me. And I find that most of the left/right real-estate on my screen wasted anyways, so this might be something I can actually use.

Anything that can be created, will be created. However, that doesn't free you from all moral culpability. If you create something, make it freely accessible and easy to use, then I think you are partly responsible for its misuse.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't have created this, or that they don't have the right to release it. But to create it, release it, and then pretend that any misuse was entirely separate to you is at best naive.
