[..] we do not have a fixed pot of money that we sit down and say, “What is the best way we can spend this on research?”

It’s not like there’s a fixed number of dollars and we say, “Okay, biology gets so many and chemistry gets so many, and particle physics gets so many.” This is a lesson that has been beaten home over and over again when we’ve had an expensive science project that people have campaigned against on the theory that the money could be better spent elsewhere, and the project gets cancelled, and guess what, the money does not get spent on science at all ’cause there’s no rule that the amount of money spent on science has to be fixed

I understand what arbitrage is. I was arbitraging Bitcoin between Brazilian and American exchanges in 2012 already.

My point in saying that there is no "arbitrage" is that you won't make any money if you offer 5% to people and expect to make more than that. Could you perhaps do with a little less pedantry and understand the overall message, or are you going to continue with needless pontification? It's late where I am and I would like to go to sleep.
Sure but I can see why “NSFW” doesn’t necessarily mean “things that can upset people” or “everything undesirable.”

For instance, it’s a perfectly reasonable thing for a table to go “we don’t want romance in this campaign.” I’m not saying that’s a game I want to play, I for one enjoy a good love story and I’m always rooting for my character to fall in love, but if that’s the story the group wants to tell…well, they don’t have to! It’s all about communicating that at the top and everybody agreeing, or identifying something during the game and having an open discussion. Odds are unless you’re truly with a group of random people that you’ll find a game that works for everyone.

> This might be true, but it's really really hard for someone who doesn't work with them day-to-day to distinguish.

It's really not (in mathematics, the field under discussion). It's not hard to look at the CV of a graduating PhD student in math and tell whether they're a semi-reasonable candidate for the Clay Fellowship, or the other fellowships listed above.

Among the small group who makes that cut, of course you need to rely on letters of recommendation, expert assessments, and so on. But the initial cut is fairly straightforward.

> Top 0.1% hackers are so confident in their ability to find more and deadlier exploits at will, they don't hoard as it's beneath them.

Or they probably see it as leverage for a job with a company at some point in the future. Or an achievement they can put on their resume or show the world.

I might be wrong in assuming this, but I take it that you believe the disclosures of these top tier hackers are a result of an altruistic benevolence. If so, I think you're describing a soul rarer than the Loch Ness Monster. The best hackers do zero-day work because they love it and it pays (in cash, achievement, fame, etc.). If it doesn't pay, they'll probably find some other way of getting their kick upto and including trading exploits or data for cash.

Even the hacker who saved the net from Mirai all those years ago sold exploits.

This was even worse than the headline made it sound.

If you had `unattended-upgrades` running and had the "automatic reboot" option enabled, then all your Ubuntu 20.04 servers running Docker would reboot themselves and not come back up.

First, the bug was in a security branch. Second, it wasn't just the containers that crashed. If you booted containers on boot via Docker, then the host OS kernel-panicked and crashed at boot, since the containers share the kernel with the host.

At that point, you can't SSH in and have to follow the procedure for restoring from backup or re-mounting the root volume on an alternate house to revert the kernel version being run.

And then of course if you revert the kernel upgrade, you were once again vulnerable to whatever problem the security update was fixing...
I'm not a low level expert, but I keep seeing mention of bugs related to memory access which have potentially severe security implications and I wonder what benefits of whatever C Language dialect is worth this type of risk.

If Rust or Haskell really make these issues far less prevalent, why not use them? Genuine question, I know nothing is so simple.

Looks like the name “CRYSTALS-KYBER” is a Star Wars reference (kyber crystals). At least one of the authors of CRYSTALS-KYBER (Peter Schwabe) published an earlier PQC algorithm called “NewHope”, another Star Wars reference.

And “CRYSTALS-DILITHIUM” is, obviously, a Star Trek reference. :)

It doesn't matter. USDC promises 1:1 backing of dollars for cash or "cash-like instruments". If they are not able to not attest this and they minted more USDC than they should, they are breaching this promise.
> to buy a car which produces less carbon

Even if carbon reduction were the only reason to buy the car, this would probably still make sense. If you're able to use it nearly 100% as an EV (which most people can do), and your home energy is renewable, then you're going to reduce your carbon footprint.

But the reality is that most people are buying it for convenience and/or novelty, not reducing carbon.

I own one and am fully aware that the car can't become carbon negative until well into its lifespan just because of the carbon required to produce its battery. The most eco-friendly purchase for us would've been... not buying a car at all.
cperciva's criticism of this process is, as I understand it, that the grants they give are too short, and that this, together with the selection criteria, creates a too-strong incentive to pursue short-term, low-risk results.
Forgot to mention the best part - as far as I could tell, the package maintainer basically was upstream at the time. (I think both might have been maintained by Poettering himself, but it was a long time ago.) So in order for patches not to make it upstream the same person had to decide that it was important enough to diverge from the upstream release but not important enough to fix for everyone else. Oh, and one of the times I ran into this involved a seemingly really easy to reproduce crash (at startup, if I recall correctly) in a released upstream version...
When I saw the keywords in these posts it reminded me of a job I interviewed for. This was in 1991 and the state of the art was to plot iso-dose contours on top of X-ray images, presumably using facts about the beam and the tissues at hand. The plan was to evolve from there to 3D images, possibly rendering these planing data in arbitrary orientations in real time. The link provided above discusses tattooing the patient for future reference and other things, using a machine that was 'similar' to the beam machine but without the beam itself. So it is good to see that planning has moved on in 30 years.
This is not correct. There is a fixed annual amount and it is partitioned by policy and earmarks.
This is good information. On one of my other blog posts, I talk about what different types of memory look like under this viewer. https://justine.lol/sizetricks/#look It should give you the basic idea of how to interpret what you see under this intuitive display.

I'm violently average.

That's fantastic; I enjoyed the presentation. It's pretty revealing.

Also the computer thinks i'm a 6.9 but also decided i was 6 years older than i actually am. What a wonderfully well executed demo.

It makes me question how computers handle attraction vs. age. I know from personal experience that I will think someone older is more attractive if they wear their age better. I consider myself a 3-4 but that's knowing my age, could there be a case where the perceived age affects the perceived beauty?
Game is getting a lot of had press, and for good reason. It's extremely predatory, but it's a huge IP and so it is expected for it to be making a lot of money.

Hi, this is my project, though I wasn't expecting to see it here just now. I gave some quick (probably too quick) answers below, and I'm happy to try to answer further questions anyone might have. It's a bit of a strange problem domain so might be hard to orient to what's even going on here if you're not already somewhat familiar. I have to step away for a little while now, but I'll check in later and try to address any questions/comments that emerge in the meantime.

> the bizarre solution panpsychism proposes to the problem of how to fit consciousness into the natural world is completely unnecessary

This line highlights the core difference between panpsychists and their critics.

Personally, I think panpsychism is an elegant, simple, and natural solution to the Hard Problem. It strikes me as having a strong prior probability, i.e. if you were describing a hypothetical universe to me, I'd put the odds of "everything in the universe is capable of perception" at something like 50/50.

Critics seem to think this is bizarre, and put it in the bucket of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". I understand why, but I disagree. I think this is yet another example of anthropocentric thought, which has continually fallen to more inclusive models (e.g. heliocentrism and evolution)
Also not a bad reason to wait. If it's not important enough for them to iterate on to make better/cheaper because it's still selling, it might be better to skip for most people.

Thankfully, I've only heard good things about the steam deck, so hopefully they'll fix whatever hardware/manufacturing problems they might find and make changes to make it better.

Barring that, I hear it's popular enough that there will probably be third party "equivalent" hardware soon, and maybe they would see it as profitable enough to iterate and make better if valve for some reason doesn't.
I think they have kept the Touch Bar in the 13", as well as the old design, for the small minority of people that like the Touch Bar and/or don't like the more squared look of the new laptops.

Otherwise, especially with the advent of the M2 Macbook Air, I don't see a logical reason why one would want to buy the 13" Pro laptop.
I think you're both quite right that we're not likely to find much in this subdivision. It seems to me that the people who want to detect more particles are not driven by a desire to explain reality itself. No, I think the research is done in the hopes of cataloguing particles that could be useful, as other comments have said.

Is there a way to even begin to assess the likelihood that research on esoteric subatomic particles is going yield useful results for energy, health care, or transportationn? Or are we just digging away ad nauseum with zero idea if the next rock contains some precious ore?
> The other obstacle is that any optimization is considered evil anyway

What? By whom? With all due respect to whoever told you that, no, no, and definitely no. Are you referring to Knuth’s famous quote, or something else? Knuth was advocating for optimization, not against it. He did tangentially and jokingly warn against premature optimization when writing software, but either way, neither using a GPU nor making architectural decisions counts as premature optimization unless you do it without thinking about your problem at all (and in that case, using a CPU is also premature optimization). Using a GPU is no different from using a faster CPU as a hardware solution to a compute problem, if you are doing SIMD-compatible work, and the GPU will be lots less expensive in terms of flops. Plus using the GPU they already have is loads cheaper for the users than buying a faster CPU.

> because they would be more or less infeasible, not just slower, with just CPU.

That’s a strange way to frame it. It’s infeasible because it’s slower, so much slower people can’t tolerate it. This is precisely why people should and do look to GPGPU for math and compute intensive applications.

I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone cites Facebook here. Nobody is forcing you to download the Facebook app. It's perfectly usable inside a web browser, nevermind the fact that a sideloaded version of Facebook could still leverage the same security benefits provided by iOS' sandboxing model. At this point you're basically arguing that Apple should be the one who dictates what privacy should look like... which isn't the case. If you feel strongly that Facebook's data collection should be regulated more closely, you should take it up with local legislation. That's how systematic improvements like this EU bill get drafted, and it's how we force big companies to play fair instead of expecting other privately held businesses to hold them in check. That's not how antitrust action works.

Ok, but that doesn't change the answer to your question, which you'll find at the link I provided.
The crypto boom was founded on gambling. The natural next step was to build DeFi but it didn't catch on fast enough and eclipse it's degenerate gambling history. DeFi still depends on CeFi for it's value. In fact let's agree not to call it DeFi anymore since it's a misnomer. Let's just call it cryptotech.

I think there's room for some amazing cryptotech to emerge from the rubble. But it won't look like anything we've seen in the last decade. Guys like SBF are super savvy about the markets, but there needs to be a mass appeal application for cryptotech to be truly successful.
What makes this specific to JavaScript? It applies to all open source.
Sure. If that 1 expert bothered to post a falsifiable prediction like “x% likely this’ll happen by year y”, the rest of us could read their argument and update our predictions.

Unfortunately that’s pretty uncommon so everyone has to go by base rates (crypto algorithms seem to last x years historically) and vague guesses (quantum computer capabilities seem to be doubling every x years so I dunno maybe enough qbits by 2050)
>Lithium is mostly sourced from Australia[1].

Thats likely to change.. its only mostly sourced here because we have the skills and infrastructure AND its fairly easy to get to.

the industry is already looking at many other places around the world that have easy to get to resource bodies but not the skills and infrastructure. Those last two are very easy to transfer and build. Lithium mining also wont slow down if Hydrogen goes gangbusters (I'm bullish on Hydrogen)...

I use none of those tools mentioned but have tried different flavors of them. macOS has also felt pretty baked for years. I mostly use a mac today the same way I have for the last 15 years. Every improvement in productivity or moment of delight has largely been around search: I type a word into spotlight, or Photos.app, or a web browser and get what I want pretty much instantly.
