That depends on what the guilty men are doing...

Because the one innocent is usually a defender, whereas the guilty men are usually the attackers and to give the attackers an effective advantage in an arms race is a risky thing with unknown and potentially devastating outcomes.

In my own life (the live video example listed elsewhere) it would have meant that we probably would have had everything that we have today anyway, only maybe a little bit (not even that much, I'm aware of one other individual who was working on a similar concept who contacted me after our release) later.

Video conferencing, live streams in the browser without plug ins and so on all would have happened, for sure. But at least the massive mountain of abuse cases would not rest partially on my shoulders. And because I've been confronted with the direct evidence of the results of my creation for me that link is easy to make. But if you work on secure communications software you are probably not aware of the consequences.

In some organizations, including mine, toil is sometimes "reduced" by saying "not my problem" and push it to other teams. It sucks to be on the receiving end of it.

Research is never a sure thing, but ideally we'd push all areas of science equally. How many other areas of science have a $100B tool that may or may not reveal something interesting?

Why should high energy physics get priority over any other area?

It's the nature of high energy physics that the higher the energy the rarer the event. The standard model already explains our universe unbelievably accurately. Sure there are corner cases, and maybe, just maybe a LHC++ might give some evidence towards one model or another. But what happens if global warming, wars over fuel, lack of fertilizer, and lack of food makes it harder for humanity to survive let alone complete major science projects.

Renewable and/or carbon neutral energy in all it's forms seems pretty important these days compared to slightly reinforcing one physical model over another.

Maybe a fusion engine would let us explore the solar system enough to find planet 9, which might well be a black hole. That would open up particle energies well in excess of anything we could manage with LHC++.
We actually know how to solve that.

What we haven't figured out yet is who's the buyer.
I think people needs to put a bit of perspective on this :

the FCC is a project for the next 70 years. It is supposed to be operational after 2040 at the earliest if I recall correctly (20 years from now more or less), and to run for around 40 years.

So if you do a very simplistic calculation on the first 20 years : 100 B euros over 20 years over 20 countries (there is 23 member states into the CERN) it is 250 M euros / year / country. This is not even calculated on the over-all project time, on on the different steps that will be happening: first FCC as electron-positron collider and then much later FCC hadron-hadron collider.

And if you are really interested into the previewed outcomes (scientifically and new techs associated):

https://indico.cern.ch/event/1040535/timetable/#20220503.det...

You can take look at the European research communities symposium that just happened recently on the future of the research topics in Europe. There are a lot of information for FCC and so on.

> Today we have detectors and computing power that let us observe the natural experiment of the universe with a precision and diligence that would be impossible when LHC was commissioned.

Couldn't the LHC be upgraded then to take advantage of this? Sounds like a much cheaper option. But I'm not a physicist at all so I'm sure I'm oversimplifying.
I am all for spending money on scientific research but to justify large investments, it needs to yield something useful in practice. Otherwise it’s a form of philosophy, minus the societal impact.

XX century science has delivered plenty of practical applications. But is there any practical application to expect from another large Hadron collider? Wouldn’t that money be better used in bio science or something else?

I used to hesitate to call myself a senior dev, but I've come to realise it seems to be used just to refer to someone who can do their job without an excess amount of handholding.

Junior devs on the other hand tend to be developers with little to no experience with some of the core technologies used within the role. Typically they'll require some help from more senior devs to get up to speed.

I've been a developer for over 10 years at this point and I'm not really sure I feel like a senior dev. Every week I'm reminded how much I don't know. There's definitely a huge variance in the abilities of senior devs. Some of worked with are been terrible while others have been indispensable to the team. It's always bothered me that variance wasn't reflected in pay or title.
I agree globally. I'll keep my remarks to myself they're not crucial, but here's another example I've put to test many times and you can try every day:

Never wear outfits with more than 3 colors.

I have simplified my garderobe tremendously by choosing garments mostly of neutral colors and some of brighter colors.

By limiting to simple fabrics, I can match almost anything with anything else from my drawers and still have nice results.

It works incredibly well.
> to justify large investment it needs to yield something useful in practice

The really important scientific work doesn't follow this rule and demanding it does is short-sighted. Perhaps worse, it's refusing to learn from plenty of historical examples where you can see the work yielded nothing of immediate use but was still very important (that is to say, society would look vastly different without it). In a sense, it's this kind of goal-oriented thinking that led society to the mess that it has become in the last 15 years.
How about thinking about this on a grander scale / in the open - and just have more and even larger “industrial subsidy schemes”? Wouldn’t you like to work on another BIG SCIENCE project that tries to find answers to something that seems more worthwhile (to you)?
More cyclists are being killed by cars. Advocates say US streets are the problem
Isn't this a reason to understand more about the climate though? How big cuts are needed, and how fast? What is the consequence of leaving those cuts an extra 10 years? What if we put our energy into cutting methane now and leave CO2 for later? Does black carbon matter in the long term? What amount of warming is acceptable?

These are the kind of questions we need answers to. Just saying 'we need to stop all emissions today' is not good enough. There is always a trade-off and we need to work out where this lies.
except there are terrains where a car won't do and you need a giant expensive off-road vehicle.

Well, as mentioned, I've yet to find something that can replace Maud without sacrificing it's advantages (in-code inheritance, code-sharing and compile-time type-safety).

So even if it's not the "optimal approach" as you title it, it's the ergonomic approach for me because it doesn't get in my way.

In any case this is not how science works, you do theoretical physics by publishing in peer reviewed journals and your peers decide whether what you are doing is worthwhile or not. Both Smolin and Hossenfelder have been somewhat successful in doing so themselves, but Hossenfelder specifically didn’t manage to secure a professorship for various reasons and I am sure she has some axe to grind (again probably partially justified, partially not).
I think it is market dominance/monopoly that gives the big revenue per head rather than lack of toil.

So, if we take your naive take to its logical conclusion; The Apache Foundation should be considered partly responsible for all the malware distributed via their http software?

I think abstracting ipmitool is nice but it's just a building block. The real killer is when you put it all together - recognizing a system is down, and bringing it back up automatically despite having no working OS. It might require using ipmitool. But it might also require clearing state in a provisioning system via an HTTP call. Or sending some keystrokes.

It's about moving beyond manual recovery when no OS is present.
I have fallen into the same type of situation where FB was insisting for me to upload my ID. I tried to appeal but I was getting back generic responses, and as a result I gave up using FB. And I missed nothing, even though I had many real friends out there who are only on FB - me leaving made them to open accounts elsewhere so we can keep in touch.

When I signed up for FB account many years ago there was no requirement for the account to provide real details about myself, and indeed everyone was using pseudonyms (at least in my circles). And it was OK, since we all knew who is who and we did not need FB to know who is who (I guess they still could link bits of information and fingerprints of our browsers to learn our real identities).

How would the blockchain saying that you "own" a domain make you own it more than currently?

It is impossible for the blockchain to prove anything about anything that originates from outside of that particular blockchain.

This is the reason why wanting to apply blockchain to everything such as land ownership is laughable and shows how little blockchain fanatics understand about the very technology they praise.

I recently bought the film Contact as it's my favourite film.

But I don't usually buy film or music and I use Spotify. So the advertless model works with me.

When it comes to seeing if you want to buy something that's pretty difficult. I like the bandcamp model of Pay what you want, so you can try someone's music and if you like it you can give them money to reward them. Spotify has PayPal links on artists pages.

What I want is an all you can eat subscription where I can direct what content gets created. So I would be responsible for the content that is produced as I funded it.

I am somewhat skeptical of the claim that "one of the best things a mid/low performing company can do is to reduce toil". It feels that this principle is dependent on the context to the extent of not being useful guidance anymore.

For instance, if the company is pre-product-market fit reducing toil seems like the wrong investment; doing stuff manually can be the way to go until you find what works (unless the effort investment in toil reduction is trivial).

If the company has reached something approximating product-market fit, reducing toil still ought to be weighed against the other priorities. That (as all technical debt reduction) can do wonders to productivity, but alternatives (e.g. pushing for a new feature) may as well be the better call.
The EU has a standard format (although not really machine readable) that is called EuroPass [0].

I personally hate that template as it gives zero clues on the creativity of the candidate. On top of that, it's already kind of boring to screen 50+ CVs, let alone if they are all the same.

I personally think creativity plays a role on the candidate evaluation, because creating a document is a skill that is a must have in our field.

If the CV isn't structured, contains spelling mistakes (yes, really) or shows you have no clue on how to use a text-processing software, then it's already a negative point for said candidate (IMHO).

Having a machine readable CV would be interesting, but IMHO it should be somehow embedded in the CV itself, so that you can have both creativity and machine readability.

Also worth noting that companies like LinkedIn are already pretty good at parsing the data on your CV (or provide already a "machine readable CV", although not open).

> I’ve read some Julia source and its an awful experience trying to figure out what method is actually going to get executed because of multiple dispatch.

I totally get where you're coming from, as this is how I felt when I started out exploring Julia code. In previous languages, I preferred to use the simple tools I was familiar with (my editor and ack/ag/rg) to explore code, but that workflow was a frustrating no-go in Julia. The usual alternative in those languages was to change my entire coding experience with an IDE, or to accept some (slight) additional complexity with things like ctags. In Julia, neither of those is necessary, as the inbuilt tools like @which, @edit, methods(), and methodswith() do a good job of providing a non-intrusive, simple alternate set of tools. (Shoutout to the InteractiveCodeSearch.jl package too, which provides a nice interactive interface over these that sometimes comes in handy.)

Now, generated functions and @eval-ed functions, those are a bane of readability when you're new to the code. Thankfully, those are rare enough and usually in deep enough parts of the code that this does not pose a significant problem.

The problem I have is that a 16GB machine from 10 years ago will still work better for certain tasks than an 8GB machine today. Memory capacity is still a fundamental bottleneck for certain workloads even with faster storage, processing, etc. And desktop software is generally getting more memory intensive rather than less.
They sued using the argument that the manufacturer’s advertising violated Connecticut consumer law.

That’s not remotely the same thing as holding a creator liable for the misuse of his work by unrelated third-parties.

Frankly, the illiberal push towards “ban everything that could be misused” is disheartening, especially when we see it applied to a speech-based tool like this one.
Did you get an answer?
Right. But as you implicitly note, it's a work-around ("escape hatch"), not a feature.

eg. Unix had processes from day 1, but threads were added (with significant effort) because threads are a better abstraction for addressing lot of problems. Especially so when your CPU has lots of cores.

The work to make multiprocessing better is certainly useful, and valuable, but it's still a work-around.
> and then everyone squats the A/AAAA address records by default, effectively denying them for any other purpose.

Can you clearly and lucidly explain what you mean here? How is HTTP "denying" A records from pointing people to servers being used for other protocols?
I'm not saying it's right or the most effective option, but I believe it would be trivial to justify: it's easier to organise something in a group if everyone's available at the same time. I'm the only person in the team working 4 day week and even that was a bit awkward in planning. (still totally worth it)
For me, the word "transpiler" has the connotation that it would translate more or less directly from one language to another, without going very deep.

If the code is transformed fully down into intermediate representation (such as LLVM-IR or graph form), processed in that form and then transformed from that into a target language (be it machine language or something else), then it is "compilation".
And local powers can be dismantled, or see part of its territory being annexed by an other sovereign power. As we say, nothing lasts forever.

In that regard, ownership is more like "sizing the window in a large enough shape so that all stakeholders are convinced that it will never be required to put special attention on it again, despite ineluctable changes".

Maybe privileges, responsibilities and liability are less delusional terms for that matter.

True, however printed money's not free free, it devalues all money so it's sort of a backdoor tax. Assuming that there is an upper bound on a nation's science budget (and in practice, there is), then the article makes a valid point - particle colliders have diminishing returns as it stands right now, and that money might be better spent on thousands of smaller studies.

Forward thinking nations would take this approach, a single discovery in just one of these studies might unlock a huge amount of scientific, commercial or industrial value, and casting the net wide gives the greatest chance of making that discovery.
