Thanks a lot for asking this. I have been thinking about a similar jump but never found much resources to do so (mostly checking the job boards of every related company I find in my news feed; not very optimal :). Now I have way more to peruse. I just hope I can find more Europe centric sites (so far much has been USA leaning).
TL;DR "all my friends are here" becomes less of a lock-in factor with TikTok-like model (as social graph becomes unimportant). If others follow suit, losing lock-in advantage might encourage competitors in the industry.
I think I need to be more long form because people are getting the wrong idea. Desalination from seawater is almost never required, brackish sources are more common. For this multistage flash distillation is the cheapest option, reverse osmosis next. Even then most people could recycle grey water rather than run desalination. A sand filter works for this.
These types of gizmo based approaches just strike me as incredibly naive as to the underlying causes of problems with water supply. More than naive, patronising. People in poor countries aren't stupid.
Thanks for the kind words. Slowly going into the water is my approach as well, but sometimes it just gets to me. My learning projects die on the hill, because of the frustration I have on the job with these techniques. Plus, overwhelming ecosystem.

About my regex problem: This is a structual mess. JSON/XML with HTML code in the data fields. We process them and send them to multiple job boards. Our clients mainly use HRM software or some CMS, some of which are only able to spit out whatever HTML is displayed on their career sites. This code often does not even have classes or IDs. Most of the times we are dangling together whatever is between two headlines, praying those won't change. But they do, because the recruiters put fields, where they not belong. I call myself code cleaner, not web dev nowadays. We are not able to use APIs, because the receiving job boards either don't offer one, the client doesn't, or it's just not worth it financially.

I will take a step back and reevaluate my situation.
I've used Python, C#, Java, JavaScript and PHP, and in my experience Python is the most unpredictable of these languages. Just to name a few:
- mutable default arguments
- late binding closures
- typings that are purely documentation instead of being enforced

Labeling these things as "gotchas" doesn't make them predictable imo.
The supply-chain attack is a self-inflicted attack if you're Googling a library and copy-pasting it as a Git dependency without so much as a glance at any of the numerous indicators that are screaming at you that it's untrustworthy.

It seemed pretty clear to me that GGP misunderstood this as malicious code being inserted into existing trusted repositories, which is a common misunderstanding in the rest of the comments, and seems to be encouraged by the poor wording of the tweets.
More hysteria based on models. We saw with covid how unreliable and destructive this new form of crystal ball reading. Falsifiable and thus pseudo science.

The comment isn't true because political dysfunction is only the proximate cause but a lack of cheap decentralized technology is also a cause. The problem can be solved either politically via functioning government, or technologically via innovations like this. It is therefore both a political and technological problem. Saying it's just a political problem isn't accurate.

Had to look them up and you are correct. Will take a look at ads now.

Perhaps you are in some advertising group with your friend and see it because he bought them. This could have been associated by him being a contact. Could also be another app that has access to your contact list that shares ad agencies with reddit.
What is your opinion on the current post-truth politics backed by ubiquitous social media?

I am at a loss when figuring out how to even work towards meaningful change in an environment where that messages are viewed / liked / shared is the only important thing, and the relation of that message to physical reality is completely irrelevant.

And I have the feeling that in general, software is part of the problem, not the solution :-(
> There are already some predictions that water scarcity problem will get worse

That's putting it mildly. I recommend the book "When the Rivers Run Dry" if you feel like you don't have enough reasons to despair.
Not every book is worth reading, nor is every book filled with brand new ideas. Most books center around a single idea with the meat of the text trying to convince the reader that the idea is correct.

I wish every book listed just the ideas so I could decide if it's worth my time to read it or not.

That's why I appreciate people like Sivers who take notes and share them publicly. I also appreciate books with less clever chapter titles so I can more easily figure out the ideas without reading cover to cover.

The blunt fact is that the vast majority of positive news is purely the result of PR organizations. In this case, MIT has a fairly good PR team. So what happen is the MIT PR org just monitors what papers MIT researchers are submitting to journals or presenting at conferences. Then the PR org gets in touch with the researchers and writes up a more accessible version of the paper on MIT News along with a press release. Then the PR guys go round to a series of their contacts in the media - places like FreeThink, Futurism, Insider, etc. They'll send out a press release which does 99% of the work writing up the article including choice quotes from the author and make themselves available for Q&A etc. Seeing this as an easy way to fill space on their website the reporters just basically copy and paste it onto their website, maybe punch it up a bit, put the website's specific spin on it etc.

What this whole process doesn't involve is anyone saying "Hang on, is this actually an important or interesting story". Does this invention move forward the cutting edge of desalination? Probably not. But it does boost MIT's reputation. Which is what this article is for.

MIT isn't more innovative than other institutions necessarily, but they are spending much more effort advertising their innovations.
Keep in mind that posting translations of English articles, especially uncredited, is easy karma for Russian (and adjacent) native speakers who also know English.

My favorite example of this is that China is arguably leading the world in AI research (at least by shitty metrics such as number of papers), yet research from there very rarely shows up on HN.

It feels like any topic on here is skewed by a factor of three towards the west, and a factor of ten towards the US. You could get the impression that 80% of the world population are doing nothing of relevance.
Thanks, I just needed the hint to take a step back and reevaluate.

Having a wiki is a good tip, I already have started to maintain a small database with snippets I use often. But it's just that. My next focus will be having a project which does not have to many features. Baby steps it is.
also, any inputs on automating the process of capturing leads with some free tools?
Good question, no there is no difference for elliptic curves, which you can think of as 1-dimensional geometric objects (curves) which posses group structure. A good map in this category should respect the geometry (be a so called rational map, ie defined by polynomials in a suitable coordinate system) and the group structure. Interestingly all these maps are either constant (map everything to 0) or surjective.

For higher dimensional geometric groups (abelian surfaces etc) one usually wants to make a distinction and calls the surjective homomorphisms with finite preimage isogenies.
But theres a huge information load that could be mined to gain more awareness of words both in and not in the transcript, ideally.
> [...] how about the US government put a firm privacy policy that forbids TikTok, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter and co from collecting excessive data on users

You'll mostly get the data during a an inflated economy, but it's still good to know which companies are screwing you over so that you can take your business to someone who didn't when the economy settles back down.

I doubt losing my business will cause anyone willing to price gouge to change their practices, but who knows what other evil things that kind of company will do to exploit you so I'll feel even better supporting a business that didn't go out of their way to take advantage of people who are struggling.
I'm non American as well, I get what you mean, the hysteria can sometimes be tiring. And the hypocritical it's-only-okay-when-we-do-it exceptionalism is maddening.

However, you shouldn't put too much weight on the absence of proof for Chinese invasion of your privacy. China is an authoritarian regime, what this translates to in practice is that, while a "democracy" like the US or a European country will spy on you and violate both your and its own citizens rights, it can be caught and its PR will then cry and act really sorry (for whatever good this does), while a regime like China or Russia will brutally lock away or assassinate anyone digging dirt, and in the rare case they do get caught they will just smirk smugly and ask you what you're going to do about it. Both of those options suck, I know, a sane man will get far away from both of them, but one of them is strictly worse than the other in a very clear sense.

>I'm not really sure what the People's Liberation Army will do with all my cat videos

Why, they are going to breed feline supurr-soldiers and subjugate your people with them off course. Meowahahaha.

Jokes aside, you're underselling the amount of power they have over you. Just off the top of my head, and I'm not remotely knowledgeable in security, smartphones put geotags and timestamps in photos and videos. The PLA and their friends are probably not interested in your Mr.ButterMeow, but they are interested in where you live and when you are glued to an app that monopolises your attention. What are they going to do with this ? I don't know, but it can't be a good thing.

There is such a thing as a "I don't have anything to hide" fallacy, it's a fallacy because (1) you don't know your attacker's mind, anything you do could be something you would very much want to hide if you only knew what your attacker intends to do with it (2) Rights are defended on principle, if I broke into your home and stole all the garbage, then that is still a violation of your rights, even if 0 harm or even negative harm was done. A principle is like an algorithm, it has to be followed to the letter even if the circumstances are amenable to a special shortcut.
I can wholeheartedly recommend it if you have an older printer - I recently upgraded my ancient Prusa clone to it, and it’s as if I got a completely new printer: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/07/09/1230

My shopping list for a new 3D printer now includes some form of Klipper compatibility (or upgradeability), which is harder than it seems given the penchant for cost-cutting and use of custom control boards (many of which now use semi-private forks of Marlin firmware that seldom get published or upgraded).

My understanding is that it's a template and you bring your own batteries, applying it differently depending on your organization.

That's why the focus on certifications is absurd, imho, not Agile itself.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity: https://www.ycombinator.com/documents
That is interesting: yes, it is true. That's why you see these endless (poor) re-inventions of the wheel. If the state of the art would at least be commonly known and well communicated we could avoid some of that. Not all of it because another mantra is that re-inventing something (poorly) is a useful exercise. I agree with that on principle if you then end up using the blessed version in your actual work but more often than not it is the homebrew and rickety version that the whole house of cards will then end up depending on.

I'm using a Logitech MX Master 3, and it comes with the "Logi Options+" to configure the mouse. I'm super frustrated with the cranky and slow app. It updates every other day and crashes often.

A map between algebraic curves is defined by polynomials. That the map is defined over K means you can find a coordinate system such that the equations of the curves and the equations of the morphisms have coefficients in K and not some larger ring, eg the complex numbers or a large extension field of F_p(field of p elements)
That is too simplified. At least the part about the right to delete the data. In my understanding it is not legal to keep all data because a user paid for a service. In German law you are required to keep the data for the invoice. But I am not a lawyer.
So you make a brilliant AGI, it points out the obvious -- we should stop consumerism and lower rich countries' standard of living before physics forces us to. How then does it get any political power to achieve that? It won't be taken more seriously than any individual human.
350.org
Yes. Systems in the real world are supposed to have common sense. That's why we have judges to decide if it was clearly an error, and people taking advantage of $0.00 should have known this, and therefore acted with malice.

Only cryptocurrencies are trying to have it both ways. They boast that big bad governments can't touch their money scheme, until someone finds a loophole in the code-is-law. Then suddenly law is law again.
MIT could pony up the $4 it would allegedly cost to build the family-sized device and demo it, proving it’s longevity, if it’s that simple ?

All I’m seeing here is a petri dish sized experiment wrapped in a press release.
I'd believe that, frequently when looking for information on some obscure topics in AI, I run into papers or blog posts with Chinese authorship.
It'd be practically impossible to enforce the 'privacy' concerns, because the data is so vast and accessible to CCP entities employed by ByteDance. I mean, they literally pay CCP members to promote government policy agenda within the company.

As for trade - FB, Google etc. - none of it is even allowed in China. So purely from a 'trade parity' basis, Chinese social apps simply should not be allowed in the US. If we can't have apps 'there' then our policy should be 'tit for tat' and do the same thing our side.
Rant/Starts

Search is censored in a commercial and politically correct way. Started to happen in early 2020, to fight "conspiracy" COVID theories, which after a year become somewhat legitimate questions (still unanswered).

Search is censored again now because "Russian propaganda".
Tell me what you want, but the reality is that we are all doomed to follow politically correct decisions of the elitist's agenda. This is the future which we will live from now on.

Internet is tied to the masses. Internet is the "reality" for many people. It is like a TV Programming in the 60-70. I don't like Telegram, but I have a complete picture of the events because of the countless channels, which give a completely chaotic and hard to control information bits.
In a way, Russia has no serious investment in the tech and "information narrative" machine.

Some people still believe that Ukraine (which before this, everyone agreed upon "is the most corrupt country in European continent") is winning on the battlefield.

I am amazed how easy it was for everyone to accept cancelling not Putin's regime, but everything Russia related. From food to classical music. And I am ashamed of the Western media, which has conformed to political correctness and sensationalism. There is no investigative journalism. Under the old "Cold War" narrative, we again find ourselves in a pit of disinformation. And the big tech companies are the main outlet for this dystopian future in which people must conform and obey the new Gods without the option of questioning the powers that be.

Why not optimize for profit in the meantime? It is only logical.

Ergonomic seating and table. In Germany there's is a law that forces employers to buy ergonomic stuff.

Agreed, but it might indicate us wether we should take the answer with a …pinch of salt.
I had a look at your job postings being located in the DACH region myself but I must admit I’m surprised you find anybody willing to work for the salaries listed.

I get that you’re not competing with FAANG salaries and kudos for mentioning them upfront but sub 50k gross would not even convince newly grads, let alone senior engineers where I live. We pay almost twice this and are having serious trouble hiring remote or local.
> Just make one rule for all.

This is the correct solution of winning the moral high ground.

What Russia has been doing for several decades (see Yuri Bezmenov [1])
is leveraging the "west's" inner discontent. Every time a Watergate or
Snowden happens it's a gift to them. It exposes our 'hypocrisy', and
failure to live up to our own democratic standards. That fuels the
narrative of the western nations as corrupt.

We're in a bind because the kind of medicine that would fight the even
more sophisticated Chinese tactics now would also hurt our own
corporations and agencies. But we must take it. Targeted advertising
and domestic surveillance must go if our values are to survive in the
world.

I'd be shocked if even one country does it in a meaningful way. It's just so contrary to human nature.

I think the only thing that can save us short-term is technology. Inventing and implementing new gizmos is something we're actually good at. Long-term we're probably screwed anyway, because we'll eventually disturb the biological systems on the Earth too much (either via pollution, ocean acidification, killing biodiversity, soil depletion etc.), and they're way too immense and complex for us to fix. People forget that we're part of Earth's ecosystem, but if we disturb it too much we'll be reminded of it either via plagues (we got a taste of it already) and/or famines.
Things I've seen happen the last decade or so:

* A data centre got flooded

* Another data centre caught fire

* One provider went bankrupt

* One provider discontinued the product with a week's notice

* Another provider terminated the account because they thought the account was fraudulent

You cannot build your business based on the assumption that one provider will always be there for you and at the price level you are comfortable with. At some point somehing will happen, and when it does you're screwed if you don't have a plan for switching providers.
Also I'm missing all the cool space stuff they could be doing and must be doing. It really is untapped market.
