>Has theoretical physics advanced enough now that such pen and paper discoveries are all but over

There are plenty of theories generated by theoretical physicists using pen and paper. The problem is that we can't reach the energy scales necessary to test those theories.

>What if a $1 trillion collider is needed to continue making progress?

That's the problem with colliders now. We don't actually know if there are any interesting physics happening at energy scales that are within human reach. Maybe the next 'interesting' threshold can only come about from a galaxy-size collider - so $1 trillion collider isn't going to do squat for you.

>Should we just ... give up on particle physics?

I think we did. There was an article recently about how a next-gen collider to replace the LHC will cost on the order of $100 billion. No one is going to spend that kind of money, so we're done with collider physics for the next few decades.
> Nobody on my teams would say I micromanage them

Perhaps that's b/c you are apparently in a position to get rid of people who "go AWOL" despite maintaining "a large degree of autonomy".

If autonomy is prefixed on "within a framework of shared goals and shared values" then why do you think individuals can't do work based on their own conception of those shared goals/values, rather than requiring signoff first? Autonomy is being able to make (and execute) decisions on your own (possibly based on shared information/value/etc) - requiring signoff is not autonomy, it's merely the ability to participate in decision making.
Saying 'but there are some innovative indie games' is not a good approach to this problem. The talent pool is not unlimited and this AAA money factory kinds are suck up most of them, squeeze out most of the resources from the industry, deliver almost zero artistic value in return and makes these innovative titles the exception instead of the norm. They have been poisoning the industry for decades, but you say, it's all fine, and we will all end up like the mobile games industry
The lack of almost any permanent positions aside from full professorships in the German research landscape is truly ridiculous. What does that get you?

Clock speeds stopped increasing exponentially in the mid 2000s[1].

Transistor density keeps increasing exponentially.

Cost to build a new fab keeps increasing exponentially.

The number of leading edge fab companies might have stopped decreasing exponentially, but since we're down to 3 it's hard to tell.

[1] Frequency wasn't mentioned in Moore's 1965 paper but the phrase "Moore's Law" wasn't coined until 1975 after Dennard published his results and the phrase has historically always been ambiguous as to exactly what was doubling periodically when Dennard Scaling still held.

Your comment presumes that only a persons quality of life as an adult is important, which is a take I don’t think is defensible.
Make it make sense. Offer Postdocs an actual career path not based on broken tenure and disposable adjunct professor roles, with hundreds if not thousands of applicants. Why would someone, with any field of study, be a "scum of the earth" post doc for 1/5th the salary and double the hours required as a junior python developer role? Moreso, post doc'ing for the wrong professor can ruin your career, why risk that either?

If the pay isn't good, the culture and work should be. In academia, that's almost never true. I couldn't support my family, nor ironically pay my families student loan payments as a post-doc, the decision was an easy one to make... But if I were really doing it for the love, the love isn't there.

You might think "oh here's an industry person who doesn't like academia", wrong. I loved research, writing papers, teaching people stuff, forming collaborations, etc. Just can't make it survivable financially or psychologically.

I feel like a more appropriate name would be “write first, then build”. “Documentation” reminds the product managers and engineers of corporate-y documents like release notes.

Intel’s marketing dept was so cool in 90’s. Blue man group, bunny suit commercials, the jingle, Pentium ads. Even the USB inventor rockstar commercial was super cool in mid 2000’s.

Things went downhill after Paul Otellini left and BK was brought it. Paul missed the mark on mobile chips, but BK is the reason for Intel’s malaise in last 10 years. He destroyed the company much the same way that HP exec gutted out the company in early 2000’s.

I miss Pentium. What a cool name. I heard Marketing folks did an internal survey and it was suggested by an employee. Good judgement and brand acumen.

... I've got to say, you probably work for someone who is. It sounds like you're a decent human being and that's great--we need more of those--but the entire point of corporate capitalism (although this behavior exists in ostensibly noncapitalist organizations, too) is exploitation. Do you think CEOs care about whether they destroy the careers of people under them?

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, and there's no ethical production either, but ultimately, we have to survive.
This statement might be more poignant than you think, there's an interesting video here comparing Marvel with Star Wars and James Bond in terms of how memorable any of the music is, because it's almost all cookie cutter:

I think all the points here have value, I've definitely played some really good games recently including some that were mentioned above, but I definitely think there's a general risk averseness because AAA game studios are too big to experiment so a lot of games are rehashed sequels or incremental "improvements" (as in the movie industry or whatever's in the music charts).

I'd put some of the blame of this on the outcome bias, things are judged on whether the outcome was favourable (e.g. profit) not whether it was the right decision (e.g. let's try something different with novelty, but riskier).

As Julia Galef covers in one of her podcasts (will have to find the link), the exec that tries something risky might get a promotion if it succeeds and get sacked if it doesn't as opposed to getting promoted from suggesting something novel regardless of whether it worked. See also "No one ever got fired for choosing IBM".

How many films that get critical reception now, got poor/indifferent reviews initially because they were just too experimental/novel for the time, e.g. Original Blade Runner. What will people think in 10, 20, 50 years about Marvel films.
This is clickbait to someone in particle physics?

There are several games like this in the "Zachtronics" genre, like Shenzen I/O or Exapunks. They revolve around programming puzzles, often with very low level languages or with other constraints. They can be a lot of fun, especially because there is often a real sense of progress. The story evolves after each puzzle you solve, instead of just "there is another ticket waiting for you in JIRA" style tedium that a programming job can be like.
> This is astonishing entitlement. No, just because you used something for fun does not mean the owner can't start using it differently.

If your logic is "the university is the owner and can do whatever they like", pretty soon students will be living in pods like one of those Japanese hotels. The university supposedly has the welfare of its students as one of its priorities (and gets tax breaks and donations on that basis).

At the very least people applying to universities on the strength of their reputation deserve to know the extent to which Stanford has destroyed the student experience that built that reputation.

Yes it would. You can say that water in a drought would be a bigger expense and only allocated to the highest priority uses, but per this thread they apparently found it worthwhile to keep the golf course sprinklers running.

Expanding the acronym for non-academia, ABD is "all but dissertation". After the first 2-3 years of a PhD program, the coursework is finished, you're into mostly independent research, and so you've completed "all but dissertation". This is a nebulous time that could be as short as 1-2 years, and could be as long as 5-10 years. The shorter durations tend to be in the sciences, and the longer durations in the humanities.

Because the duration is so dependent on the program, and the only end is when the advisor agrees that sufficient work has been done to merit a PhD, it can stretch on without much hope in sight.
You are mischaracterize what's happening entirely. The article is not whining and it's not claiming that this is somehow shaking the foundations of science. But we are potentially in the middle (or even at the end) of a monumental shift inside physics. Particle physics produced fantastic discoveries over the second half of the twentieth century and it might just have hit a major major wall (or in the lingo of the field, encountered a desert) where we can not expect new discoveries in the next decades or centuries.

If that's so it will mean a major restructuring of the field of physics. It has vast implications for researchers that chose what to work on or whom to fund. Yes it's all part of research, but the flavor and type of research in one of the most prominent fields of science is undergoing a massive shift. That's news that's well suited for a publication called Science. And it reflects genuine scientific debate that's been going on for more than a decade on the inside.

Correct, but if you look at the MLS in general, they have a lot of teams in under-served cities.

There's a lot of people in NYC, so even niche things can be popular enough to be a good idea. B. MLS has a lot of well-liked teams that aren't in major areas.

I don't know if those things you ask are in Haskell specifically, but what I do know is that Haskell concurrency is pretty much best in class. You get channels (Control.Concurrent.Chan is in the stdlib), STM, green threads (forkIO). You can also get stuff like async (from the async library) or streamly (even higher level than traditional async). I'm not 100% sure if you can push insane speeds with it (even though Haskell is really fast, it's just very tricky to optimize correctly) like you can with Rust, but the developer experience on concurrency is just through the roof, imho (dare I say even better than rust). STM is just the best kind of magic.
It is for you to make them.

Why require automated validation?

In the real world, most tasks output as inputs to other tasks by other people. And those downstream people perform validation of incoming work.

Pretty much all these arguments boil down to "yeah, but Bitcoin wouldn't be worth as much if X happened".

I don't think you'd find anyone to disagree with you.

There are absolutely drawbacks and tradeoffs. If Bitcoin becomes banned/regulated by a significant number of countries it will still perform exactly as it is doing so today in those conditions. It just might be "worth" 1/100th of what it is today.

If you take "price speculation" out of the picture, I think your rebuttals here are entirely invalidated.

What I'm tired of is articles like these that try to make out the video game development past as some artistic endeavor, when it was almost entirely geeks fucking around with things they found fun. There is far more "art" in games these days, which I think is cool. We have a lot more innovation and design exploration, it's just that the major categories have been explored heavily. Plus people that want innovation have developed very niche tastes which means to mean that niche you have like a few hundred people as a market.

Additionally, this "what happened to game design" is a refrain I've literally heard every year for 30+ years now. Here's the thing: if you have fun with a game, most of the time you want to keep playing that game. I just finished Mad Max (late to it!) and it was awesome, and I want to just keep playing it, but there is nothing else in there except finding the few % of places that I didn't completely explore before. But I'd kill to have a DLC for it or a Mad Max 2 that is just more of the same.

There is far, far more exploration and experimentation now than ever, and if you think otherwise, you are looking at the past through rose tinted glasses.

> Leave academia and find a company who will fund your work.

This is the weakness in your argument. Not all of science is interesting to the private sector.

I worked for a large company once that in the past had large labs for researching charge transfer and other fundamental physics. When I toured those labs, they were all empty, with broken and unused machines.

I know this site focuses on computers and tech. But there is a large world of scientific disciplines out there that just aren’t useful to business. But useful to society as a whole.

Lastly, postdocs typically make ~50-55kk in my neck of the woods. Underpaid, maybe depending on the field. But far from “broke”. Thats around the starting salary of school teachers and many other professions.
