The problem is that for any sufficiently complex or advanced research there are enough variables to contend with that there are 1000s of ways to get "no repeatable result" and only a few to actually replicate. Knowing which variables need to be controlled is part of the expertise, training, and lore. Knowing when those variables are getting out of control and how to fix them early (knowing which knob or often combination of knobs are required) is yet more expertise and experience. This is true in physics, chemistry, biology, and electronic design. Getting a null result really is often simply a failure to properly run the experiment... and as a scientist it would be very easy to follow any documented "recipe" and fail to get the proper result in hundreds of different ways. That does not make one a great scientist. You can't even tell me every way it could be screwed up. I can always come up with a new one!

Programming is such a wonderfully controlled environment, it's digital, replicable, and _almost_ math-like. You can know the variables. You can trivially replicate a program, or dig down into the OS... but every physical experiment out there has much more common and worse problems than Spectre or Rowhammer waiting to destroy it. It's the cosmic rays.

Your equipment/materials/specimens gets contaminated or reacts or ages. Your ultrapure water isn't. There's a vibration that changes everything. Your calibration sample changes. Cleaning staff used a new cleaner. The AC turned on. Build your experiment to be impervious to all of these and everything else I can't think of... or use the intelligence of an expert. Get there faster, cheaper, and find better ways of doing it along the way.

You'ld be right to say that it should all be documented, but the problem is that you basically need to be an expert to even understand the variables and to those experts many variables are so obvious to control they wouldn't think of doing otherwise. To give concrete and extremely valuable examples in manufacturing: EUV systems for lithography, OLED deposition and patterning, Lithium battery electrode forming. You can have the very best and exquisitely designed equipment for manufacture and yet without experienced experts running the process (replicating the experiment day in and day out) it will go out of control and you will get garbage in a million ways. It's like amateurs playing chess against a master... where the master is the natural variation of the environment.

High value semi manufacturing is a great example of how hard it is. The processes are designed to be as simple as possible to replicate. You replicate every day as many times as possible. You have huge amounts of money and resources to succeed and sometimes you still fail. Getting to 10% yield/replication is a big step... getting to 50% maybe harder... then 90%... and higher. Novel science is often harder and there's much less money and the time to replicate could be months/result rather than 1000s of testable results/min.
Leaf's switch in and out of the B regen by shifting into drive a 2nd time - however they also have an "eco mode" switch on the steering wheel - if you normally drive with it on then pressing it does feel a lot like a shift up

You can't make decisions about "environmentalism" if you haven't decided on your goals. Reduce greenhouse gases? Reduce solid waste and microplastics? Reduce animal suffering? Preserve biodiversity and habitat? Give the social appearance of being "green"?

My imperfect personal tactic is to consume less of everything.

Refuse -> Reduce -> Reuse -> Recycle
It is but it is still an order of magnitude slower than the ram on the chip. You don't use ddr2 ram in your pc today, do you?
Point is, you don't actually know what science is out there, because there are many layers between you and "the science". So people who mess with the visible of science or for that matter with the funding so that the science might not even happen, can influence your perception of what is true.
The Germans came for the Nazis. The Weimar Republic was very much in favor of imprisoning them for their (detestable) ideals and proposals. The Nazis were able to parlay this persecution (and Weimar failures) into an increasing share of the electorate and eventually total control.
I’m getting NSFW warning. On the sample prompt provided by the app itself:

> Photo realistic oil painting of a baby wearing a bib sitting at a wooden table in front of an egg. Painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the style tof mona lisa (1519). The baby has a Laughing expression. Medium shot with a tilted frame. The person is to the left of the table. Warm lighting. Photorealism.

What do you mean by that?
Wow, I can't think of anything practically wrong with this.

I can think of plenty of reasons why it won't happen (notably the downward pressure on the candidate pipeline, which for a variety of reasons isn't an outcome research institutions don't want), but I'm wondering if the best place to apply the pressure would be the accreditation institutions and the Department of Education.

The correct answer is to be having regular discussions with your kids about what they're doing online, and occasionally log into their accounts, having access to their usernames so that you can do it, so that you know what they're up to.

Probably not as necessary once they're like 15 or so, but up that age do not let them be on there on their own. And, of course, make sure they know critical thinking and discuss everything that they see online with them instead of heavy-handedly barring them from it.

Teach them about the satanic panics of the 1970s. Teach them about social pressure, teach them about rationalism, show them some good old James randii.

I've seen some of this trend on discord. It is genuinely nasty and you should be keeping tabs on your kids.
>And since people have limited capacity to make lifestyle changes, we need them to focus that capacity where it will do the most good. Meat just isn't it - transporation, housing, energy - those are where it belongs.

Diet is actually one of the easiest things for people to change. You have to eat every day. And there is evidence this personal choice has affected markets. Walmart wouldn't be selling more soy milk, selling tempeh, producing their own plant-based cheese if it was just a non-impactful minority changing their habits. Even if it takes a year to change, it helps people understand they can do things that do help the environment.

Everything you describe - transportation, housing, energy are all things that take often decades to reform. Giving people something they can do right now to make a collective impact (however small the impact) is worthwhile. It brings a certain kind of spirituality to the movement - even if I can't switch to an EV or the bus takes too long or I rent, so I can't do energy efficient changes, I can still eat food that reduces my impact on the environment. I can eat with people who share environmentalist feelings. We can come to collective conclusions, like deciding to take the bus to go downtown tomorrow instead of driving. We can share emotions about our worry, but also our optimism for the future. When it comes time to demand systemic changes, we already have a well-organized cohort to proselytize for those changes.

I'll get downvoted into oblivion for this, but dozens of my old academic friends from Harvard are in on this grift. My old advisors own some of the largest enterprises in this 'sector', and all all these people (in private) regard quantum computing as a money grab. At best, as a way to fund research.

And that's it! The author of this article is 100% right. Markets are fully aware though, go ahead and try to short any publicly traded QC stock. You can't. There's no shares to borrow and no liquidity on puts...TRUST ME I"M TRYING TO :P

These enterprises will continue to offer regular old data analysis dressed-up with quantum storytelling as a prestige tool. That is also the business model of many many very large companies (consulting etc). So it's possible these companies might even do fine, but not because they will have a computational advantage-- Not with these platforms.
How does this work for GDPR & CCPA like rule regimes?
No, if you ask SD without a filter for a woman, it won't probably give you a naked woman. It is actually rather rare, but I don't see what's so horrible when it does happen.

When you go to a gallery you will see a lot of naked people. It's not a big deal.
> That and some sort of container story.

While off-topic for this thread, I don't think that's going to do what you expect. If you snapped your fingers and XNU suddenly had cgroups and other namespace trickery required to make containers operate, you'd still have the grave problem of "containers are not virtual machines" and thus an XNU container would only run Darwin binaries, so you're back to the old days of "run one exe locally, run another in prod"
I think your assertion that "losing business on a Saturday afternoon on a whim of an anonymous Cloudflare censor" is a legitimate concern is pure straw man - you're positing that there's this new censorship thing going on, and not only that but that it's so arbitrary that an "anonymous Cloudflare censor" could just take you offline.

That is why I'm saying you're full of shit.

Do real adults make ridiculous assertions about imaginary things and expect to be taken seriously?

It's telling that you're not all that secure about being believed about spending all that money with Verisign (which, personally, I think is a very bad choice, but you do you).
That doesn't seem a) particularly useful or b) like it was hard to do before.

I could easily gather a corpus of racist slogans, a corpus of racist images, and smash them together to get a few thousand racist memes. It would probably take less time than relying on an AI model to generate each one (which takes a few seconds to a few minutes each).

And it's not as though there aren't millions of actual racists out there spewing out racist content constantly anyway.

With it being stateless, I was referring to just the part where I wanted to point out the difference: file handles are stateless, while FUSE's equivalent (nodeids) are stateful.

Regardless of whether it's an in-memory or persistent solution, the problem remains: fuse-t has little choice but to leak resources of the underlying FUSE file system, as there is no valid point in time in which you can issue FORGET operations. This means that any file system with some form of churn rate will leak memory.

Also note that delegation is effectively optional. If a server simply always replies with OPEN_DELEGATE_NONE, the client has to interact with the file as if it's stored remotely.

There is no need to implement SEQUENCE, by the way. macOS implements NFSv4.0, while SEQUENCE is part of NFSv4.1 and later.
> The lurch when the transmission shifted during launch was too hard on the transmission, and many of them broke under warranty. Tesla had to replace many transmissions. It was easier to fix the problem on the electric side than the gear side.

Seems to me this was more a problem with Teslas build quality or design, because the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT have a two speed gearbox. From when I drove the e-tron GT this shifting was almost completely imperceptible, no lurching of any kind even when launching it in sport mode. If you're driving in anything other than sport mode the car will spend most of its time in second gear anyways, not even using it from a standstill.
We (as a society) might start with assigning more value to reproduction in general. There is an implicit assumption that reproduction and verification (or falsification) of published results is somehow not worthy of time and attention.
You are changing the topic with photoshop and VS, I or no one else on this thread claimed they should be web apps. PDF like say word and excel documents can be made to write applications.

With classic html, you can do similar things as with PDF but it was used to write anything from IRC clients, school exams, games and a lot more. Like PDF, it contained support for scripts to allow applications not mere documents to be implemented but unlike PDF it was especially made for the web.

People did implement full fledged apps in plain html powered by powerful server side languages like php or jsp. The trend of doing a lot of heavy lifting in clients is fairly modern after clients were able to handle such workloads and internet speeds were not a deterrent. For clienr capabilities of the time, html was very much meant to implement apps in the browser with all the heavi lifiting done on the server side because pentium 1 with 500mb ram,dialup and windows 98 can't do modern types of apps even with flash well.
Another parallel to these tensions between free speech, commercial responsibilities and rights is a kind of tension between the ability to be anonymous on the internet (on social networks especially) and the inability to track down dangerous things on social networks and/or prevent them. But - it's not just about anonymity in lies or persuasiveness on the internet.

I love being able to be anonymous or pseudo-anonymous on the internet. At the same time, the ability of people to persuade others of dangerous, destructive lies on social networks is terrible for society. It's not just the us of course, there have been multiple other countries where people were persuaded to attack the 'other' minority group or religion or whatever because they were secretly attacking them.

I'm in the us and social media has destroyed the ability to have some basic agreement on what has happened in the world (such as the issues of the election in 2020). But it's not just social media. It's certain conservative news outlets that push these lies, persuasively!

And I don't know what to do about these problems. I honestly don't see how we as humans will develop a better ability to study what happens and get to a basic understanding of reality - even in the face of conflicting information. My own dad was an EE and a cfo of a billion dollar a year company and now he's fallen into the sway of a certain american network's lies and racial animus. Maybe he was always sympathetic to these views.
I’ve read some hilariously out-of-touch comments on this site, but this might take the cake. You know what else happens on a monthly basis? Normal paychecks.

Only some ivory tower conservative could believe people on welfare or disability are throwing money at tech nerd services to bring them down. What an incredible victim complex.

REPowerEU: A plan to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition

What does conflict in Ukraine mean for UK energy?

https://eciu.net/analysis/briefings/uk-energy-policies-and-p...

> Despite not importing much Russian gas directly, a drop in global supply – Russia is the second largest gas producer (17% of global output in 2020) – will affect the international gas markets that impact the UK.

> As a result, bills in the UK (and likely globally) will soar because of conflict in Ukraine, potentially up to £3,000 in October 2022, (a £600 increase from previously expected levels). However, some doubt that bills will get this high as there are still significant data gaps needed to forecast future bill levels.

> Energy efficiency is an obvious near term step, as it could reduce the UK’s total gas demand by 7-8% and imports by 15% while delivering bill savings to households.

On Africa:

if they don't have the energy now, they need to build it. What is the cheapest available source of new energy? What is the best way to make that energy go furthest? None of these basics things are discussed, because tha article wants to shill for fossil fuels, and actively make these problems worse in Europe and Africa.

The last time our family played it became frustrating: one team being unable to even get their car rolling off the starting line — waiting, waiting for the magic cards to fix a flat, get a green light, etc. The opposing team had wonderful hands and were ruthless.

I kept thinking that there's a fun game in here, but not with the current rules/deck. I think a driving game should have more driving ... less sitting around broken down. It was more fun when both teams were rolling along in the race, trying to inch past one another with the milestone cards.

The majority of covid deaths would be toward the elderly range.

Almost every soldier death would be 18-25. I suspect the civilian would lean older but I don’t think it would entirely offset it.

Go docs are pretty terse and lifeless, agreed.

Here's an example of Elixir docs: https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html

Note the layout, the amount of prose to introduce a module and the function documentation that is not limited to just a quick line but often has multiple examples and tries quite hard to be clear and extensive.

There is no reason Rust docs couldn't be that good, but the example has to come from the top: improve the std docs, and everything will follow suit.

In that case, you're going to run into the same problem that happens with any organizational naming: names aren't stable. Reorgs happen. Buyouts happen. Rebranding happens. Even people's names change. Anyone who has ever worked at a moderately-sized company that got bought or renamed, knows the hell of The Renaming. And there's always things left out. Are you going to go through and change all package names in your code? Or are you going to be left with a fragile bit of tribal knowledge or obscure documentation explaining what "oldname" means everywhere?

And don't even get me started on auth checks and someone spoofing the system because something still accepts the old identifier long after the original owner gave it up and some malicious party grabs it.

That's the equivalent of saying "I will not be letting my children near the internet"
The only person who has claimed KF lead to their supposed suicide is Near/byuu after he attempted to extort the site into removing his thread. But we know he didn't kill himself as he lives in Japan and the state department releases a report every six months about the deaths of Americans overseas. It's been over a year, there have been two reports, and neither had any suicides in Japan, and the Japanese government is no slouch when it comes to paperwork. The only evidence that was ever given was a picture of an urn with byuu's name on it posted by a friend living in Hong Kong.

Nonetheless this has not stopped journalists from reporting it as fact so they can create via citeogenesis a bloody shirt to wave and justify campaigns against the KiwiFarms.

That could be quite costly depending on the wiring locations in the unit and the total current capacity available. Personally as a renter in this situation I'd be pretty reluctant to pay for this unless its going to be saving me enough on gas to offset most of it. I guess if you really plan on a long term rental it might make more sense.
Solar and wind have so far not been nearly adequate to charge existing EVs, let alone what would be necessary if we all converted to EVs.

Given the reluctance to expand nuclear power, we're going to be charging EVs with fossil fuels for a long time.
I also read a lot of the kiwifarms thread after this latest news, and it seems like there are a lot of trans people on that thread, so at least a slice of the trans community disagrees. This may be a popular position among trans activists and the Twitter crowd, though.
I have a bunch of stuff I wish I could easily digitize and throw away the originals. But, aside from doing a few selective things, the effort to en masse digitize and add enough metadata so I could actually find stuff isn't worth the return.
It’s not cool. Even people who use PHP every day don’t want to admit it because it’s not considered leading edge. It’s a workhorse language with a mature ecosystem, good documentation, and huge community, great for putting web sites together. It also gets used by a lot of newbs who write bad code, and the language gets blamed for that.
This is just civilized society finally catching up with criminals on the internet, the internet as a tolerant forum for information exchange and discussion was lost as soon as serious money got involved.
