> In 1951, Mary Tsingou was an undergraduate studying mathematics and education at the University of Wisconsin when an instructor told her, “They’re looking for women mathematicians at Los Alamos.” The Korean War was on, and the Lab had found that hiring and training men as mathematicians was mostly futile because they were so often drafted. Faced with a job market that was particularly tough for female math teachers, Tsingou decided to apply. She landed the job, and on January 7, 1952, she moved to Los Alamos.

Imagine drafting mathematicians instead of sending them to the national security science laboratory at Los Almos!

> Upon being hired, Tsingou was flatly informed that she and the other young women would be paid less than men with the same skills and qualifications because “men were breadwinners and women were just supplementary.”

Imagine that being the standard.

> By today’s standards in the scientific community, Mary Tsingou would have been an author on the paper— she might have even been the first author, the person who contributed the most to the project. Among those who agree with the renaming of the problem is David Campbell, Professor of Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering at Boston University and former director of the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos.

It's good to see programmers given this recognition. In my experience these days most programmers can expect an author credit on a paper they wrote software for. Not sure about being first author though!
They went pretty far down the path toward building a new park in Virginia. I believe they even acquired land. In the end it failed because of intense regional opposition to it.

I like the general idea a lot: let sites say whether they're willing to be displayed this way. But two main disagreements:

* We can't reuse X-Frame-Options for this, because sites are already setting that without necessarily wanting to opt out of in-app browsers.

* I do think Apple and Google might be persuaded to require all IABs to respect this "I want my site to open in the user's default browser" directive, as an app store approval requirement. For example, their account security teams would likely be strongly in favor.

I do think Android's Custom Tabs and iOS' SFSafariViewController should still be allowed, however, since the embedding app can't exfiltrate site data, inject JS, etc.
Yes there are facts. I.e. there is a particle called electron, there is a Sun, Cosmic Microwave background, Milky Way galaxy. I'd say those are facts. But I do think the boundary what's a 'fact' vs model/theory dependent statement can be different among different people.

Remote working has been around forever. The pandemic opened the doors to a larger set of candidates. None if it changed human nature. There are people who do well on their own. I think most don’t.

I know someone who has had remote jobs for probably 35 years. How does he spend his time? Re-roofing his home, upgrading his bathrooms, fixing his cars, etc. Not working. And these are six figure jobs. Watching this first hand —for decades— has not made me a huge believer in remote work for everyone. Not sure how to define who does well and who does not.
I feel like I am in the extreme minority in that I pretty much never use an app for anything that already has a website. I just use the website on my phone.

The experience might be slightly worse, but I much prefer just staying in the browser on my phone for everything. Reddit, Twitter, the few times I log into Facebook, are all just using a browser. I just find it simpler, and I like when the interface is the same on my phone and desktop (which is why I use old Reddit)

Oh, it's possible, with significant limitations. It would just be such a huge pain in the ass that no one is going to do it, except for cryptobros trying to con people into playing their own awful games.
Start with rejecting the very premise. Look at who stands to gain from the various crises and realize most are manufactured. Now closer to 70 than I care to admit, I’ve seen decades of world ending predictions, all of which were fallacious but profitable for certain people, either in terms of money or power. That’s reality. It’s typically condemned, particularly by today’s gullible younger generations but it is reality all the same.
Isn't it odd that without the poor get poorer even though common sense tells you that a lack of growth shouldn't make you poorer?

Or think about it this way, when there is no growth left, you must actually get people to cooperate with each other and as far as I know we never learned how to do that.
to soften the carnauba wax in my shop I just took a heating element from an old stove and put a diode on one of the AC legs to halve the power. wax gets semi-solid so that it can be applied easily, but doesn't drip. I'm sure you could use an inductive hob to the same effect.

I wonder if that wouldn't solve the master link wear issue if you could wipe soft gobs of it on the chain instead of taking it out and submersing it completely.

I can fill 36 hours a week of my time better than anyone else can. If the money's equal and the time difference is that steep, I'll take the shorter time commitment.

To me, the issue and flaw with this argument, as with most computation-based theories about existence and consciousness, is that we like to conceive of computation in purely abstract terms. But it's been known since the 1940s that the concept of computation is founded on information theory, which is simply a restatement of parts of the laws of thermodynamics, which are derived from classical physics and applicable only in the macro world.

But we know that the universe is not classical in nature. So it seems to me that trying to use a classical-only approximation to do all the backfilling to a theory of the nature of existence must necessarily come up short. It feels "like butter scraped over too much bread."

Information theory also establishes that any information state must correspond directly to a physical state, so it seems to me most likely that all our concepts of mathematics are not communions with the mind of God, but projections of some aspect of the physical functioning of our brains. And since our brains are products of a non-classical universe, the classical nature of our concepts of computation represents some sort of essential reduction of complexity; just like our brains reduce the complexity of our sensory inputs to produce a model of the world sensible enough for us to act on. Trying to employ that reduced-complexity model to account for the nature of existence itself is necessarily forced and futile in my view, like trying to explain the nature of a reflection in a mirror as an alternate dimension.

It reminds me of how Frank Tipler pointed out that Nietzsche's theories of physics and his concept of eternal return were in fact formally correct, or would be if the universe were classical in nature. But the universe is non-classical, and thus there were surprises in 20th century calculations of the nature and destiny of the universe.

Until there are full non-classical theories of physics and of computation, I think we as well will need to expect surprises in conceptions of how existence came about.
"So the Hyperloop, for example, he admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even though he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project and to get in the way of that actually succeeding."

In recent years, Samsung phones sold in the U.S. generally have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked, so it's not possible to flash other OSes onto them.[1] The Samsung devices that can be bootloader-unlocked tend not to be mod-friendly. For example, Samsung phones permanently disable the Knox security feature when the bootloader is unlocked, and it is not restored even if the bootloader is relocked after a factory reset.[2]

> * DM particle haven't yet been found.

The stories we like to tell require dark matter. Otherwise our stories are wrong

We have a lot of stories using dark matter. We really like it

> * It is possible there is some theory that somehow explains everything without the need of dark matter, but it doesn't exist (now), and very likely it would work effectively like dark matter. Without such theory, claiming DM doesn't exist is simply stupid IMO.

Our stories are just stories but it is all we have

> * There are a few cases where you can find tensions with the existing DM based paradigm.

Our stories are not internally consistent.

> * A final point. Even Modified Newtonian Dynamics theories require DM, because without it you cannot form enough structure early in the universe (as dark matter start to collapse earlier) and is essential to reproduce the amount of structure we see in the cosmic microwave background.

We really like stories with dark matter

I love Astrophysics! Pure math with constraints. Do not confuse it with reality
I also think that there is no reason to assume that AI wouldn't be intelligent enough to hide their attempts to gain more real world control. Every human hacker knows that he has to hide his computer virus but we seem to think that an AI would storm through the interwebs like rambo and start switching on missile silos.
Obviously for now all of this is impossible but lets say we do develop a human-like AI and it runs on cloud computers. Surely it has some disk access, surely it has some freedom to read and ingest new information. Even if it has no disk access, it certainly has network access. I have seen people post crazy projects where they use DNS as a storage system. I don't think it's so absurd to think that an AI finds a way to hide their progress. Why exactly can't it store shell scripts somewhere, learn and even eventually prompt users to execute some shell commands? It's hard enough to secure things against human attackers, imagine an AI that has instant knowledge of all CVEs and can generate shell code to exploit it.
Disney+ in Australia definitely doesn’t do that.
Spread spectrum methods are not magic, they do not manufacture new spectrum. As you get a larger number of simultaneous spread spectrum users the apparent "noise floor" (actually other spread spectrum transmissions) becomes higher and higher until the achievable data rate approaches zero. This isn't to say that the use of spread spectrum methods doesn't have benefits, but it doesn't change the fundamental concepts. Bluetooth, for example, uses FHSS but will still suffer from contention in very noisy environments.

> And then, as I said, the Cray computers came along. They started with 150K of memory, or something like that, and everybody thought, “Boy, those are really [advanced]!” But even those, a lot of times, had problems on weekends. We’d have people run our problems, and we’d sign up for four or five hours for the problem to run, to get some results. Probably it wouldn’t even finish, and they dumped the data onto a tape, and the next weekend—because a lot of times long problems would not be run except on weekends—you would pick it up. Also, for your own sake, when you were running your problem, after an hour or two you would dump it—because in case the machine went down, you lost [your interim results]

once AMD releases their 'c' cores, one might argue that SMT is no longer worth the additional complexity.
>Moreover, your fear doesn’t give you the right to impose that choice on me.

You will have to explain how reducing growth dependence reduces agency. If anything, one could argue that there is no such thing as agency with growth dependence.
No, growth can’t go forever, but how far can it go? Obviously your trillion galaxies is absurd, but there’s a lot of room between absurd scenarios and where we are now.

But ultimately that does just push back the question of how to deal with flattening of the curve. Even if we settled the whole solar system ala The Expanse, then what? Solar system scale Japanese style stagnation?

I think non-platform browsers also use the same engine and webview, so if the platform implements "honor X-Frame-Options", won't it essentially lock out third party browsers? Like I won't be able to use Firefox Focus.

Maybe the app review process can catch this behaviour instead? ... That way, it can be permitted for browsers but not for apps with embed a webview? That might work for iOS where reviews are strict, but no idea whether it would on Android.
I believe 99.99% of new discoveries in astrophysics create more problems for cosmic models than they had before. Pluto shocked the scientific world in 2015 when we got up close photos of what was supposed to be a cold frozen stone, being so small and so far from the sun, but it's still geologically active, something no model could account for at the time, nor since afaik.
Because my frame of reference is being early or maybe early-mid career, where you can't possibly have the necessary experience to be 'best' without working significantly more than 40 hours weekly, and from my perspective most of getting there in the future follows that path too. I'm not discounting that some top engineers could exist outside of working a lot, but for most people the path to that distinction is a lot of work, and in most places that lot of work gets done outside of the hours when people are distracting you with meetings and small talk, which means not stopping at 40 hours weekly.

Having said all that, I don't discount the possibility of work life balance in the 60-80 hour range, but that's a whole separate skillset.
I have the same issue. Frustrating stuff.

Do only famous people matter? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
Exactly. Look at the starlink coverage map (https://www.starlink.com/map). Nearly the entire east of the US is "waitlist" aka at capacity. This is basically exactly what I predicted would happen - starlink is beyond awesome as a way to get internet but really suffers from lack of capacity "at scale".

Keep in mind too that each year average internet consumption rises so the existing sats can service fewer and fewer users.

I am personally surprised they have reached capacity so quickly - I thought they would have fit more users per sat on by aggressive traffic shaping/data caps.

Starlink will only be a niche service imo, FTTH/cellular will continue to roll out to more and more rural locations. It's a great niche service but the capacity really constrains it.

I also wonder how long SpaceX can afford all these falcon launches for starlink. I think the plan was spaceship would do huge deploys at a way lower cost per sat, which would increase capacity much quicker. But it seems spaceship is understandably delayed?

I was with you until that part. Having to write .NET and on Windows is just too much.
Wat... "Like" implies preference. You're using the word "story" to imply someone pulled it out of their imagination. What they said was "we currently have no plausible theories that doesn't require dark matter". These theories have to be consistent with other theories and observations.
That's bullshit and you're gonna scare the shit out of any junior Amazonian reading this unnecessarily. Obviously nothing is TRULY anonymous - at the end of the day there is a super secured database that HR can go into if there is a need. The data is there much in the same way that every email you send is discoverable in a lawsuit. Or if you get fired and bring a USB key and copy all your data they'll get it. Nothing you do on a work computer is truly private.

But that doesn't mean anyone's manager has access to some secret dashboard to get any of this data or is able to view it on demand. Short of a serious legal case it just won't be relevant.

Noone's manager has access to individual answers and neither does anyone in their org chart.By default, week-over-week, that connections information is private.

What actually (probably) happened is your team's scores were shitty and somewhere up in your org chart noticed and started giving your manager shit to improve them. Then they went in and decided to use their best guesses about who voted for what to start harassing people to figure out how to improve things.

They absolutely epitomized Goodhart's law and they got the result they wanted - you stopped giving a shit and voted for whatever got them off your back.

That sucks but thats not how it is on most teams. Every team I've been on used this data bi-weekly or monthly to have an honest review of what we're doing well and where we need to improve. Nobody gets picked on. If there is a clear outlier where one person was unhappy we don't try to find out why but I (as a senior leader) try to be vocally self-critical and try to come up with multiple guesses and/or reasons for why they might have said that, and what could be done about different root causes. (TO not force whoever was the outlier to speak up).

Your manager sounds like an idiot/asshole, but the least I can say from looking up your name is at least your former manager isn't managing anyone anymore!
That's literally the stunt here, airing a bunch of silly and/or obscure "sports" in character as The Ocho for a week.
There is an obvious way out. Increase immigration. The US does this well. Why doesn't Japan? Because of racism and xenophobia. No one talks about it (wouldn't be surprised if I got downvoted for mentioning it) but Japan is mad racist. They do not like foreigners.

You can certainly say you won't vote to convinct under any circumstances during voir dire.

It's not illegal in any way. It won't get you thrown in jail for contempt. It is probably protected by the first ammendment to say so. It will get you excluded from the jury.

People do it all the time, in fact.

The exact standard questions asked of jurors in voir dire vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but usually include some variation of if there any religious, philosophical, or ethical reasons you could not convict (or not acquit) generally.

I mean, imagine if you had philosophical, ethical, or reliigous reasons you couldn't convict under any circumstances and you wound up on the jury anyway! If you didn't tell the court this when asked and wound up on the jury cause you lied about it... you probably still wouldn't actually be considered in contempt, but it'd be bad.
