You will, if you can pay for them. Unfortunately, the number of entertainment or corporate IT dollars available is way way more than the number of research grant dollars, so your tools will probably be worse since less can be spent creating and maintaining them.

Alternatively, researchers can try to use the same digital tools that entertainment consumers or corporate knowledge workers use. They might be less suited, but can potentially make up for it with extra polish.
Is there a book out there on coaching people who are bad at 'finishing'?

I have sympathy for people who have been institutionally censored and I feel properly guilty when we are interrupting them. But some people just go on and on, and/or telegraph false finishes, then try to invoke the same kind of courtesy when they are cut off.
When we are on holidays, I like to chill on the beach and learn new programming languages, practice algorithms, reading books and taking notes with markdown and syncing these notes with git.

I don't want to take my MacBook because it's too expensive and the sand and water can get into the keyboard. Leaving it on the sun for hours is also a bad idea.

I took my wife's relatively old Android tablet (at least 5 yo), connected one of my cheaper Bluetooth keyboard. Then installed a terminal, git, vim, rust, dart. This setup lets me practice a little bit, I don't need to worry about stuff getting stolen (first, because it's not something people steal, and even if they did, I wouldn't really mind as the whole setup is less than 100 dollars).
You can think about this at the limits. You could turn off the system for days, weeks, months, or whole seasons and allow the house to drift with the ambient environment. Then, you turn it on and recover to the conditioned mode. This certainly uses less energy than if you maintained it for that whole duration. This is because the loss to environment tapers off. It does not keep losing and reach some absurd extreme beyond that of the environment. Reducing the interval for the drift does not fundamentally change this equation. At the other extreme, you can do what a normal thermostat does now. The system is turned off for minutes and allowed to drift until it is called back into action. All other time intervals in between exist on a continuum. The maximal losses are when you try to keep the constant comfort level.

As far as thermodynamics, you're always exchanging heat with the environment. Only the coefficients change with different insulation levels. And these losses correlate with the gradient between the inside and outside. When the gradient is zero, equilibrium means zero net heat transfer. When the house is allowed to drift towards the outside temperature, the total losses will be lower than if comfort were maintained through those same hours. The integral (sum) of these loss rates over time is your total energy loss and a good proxy for the total energy needed from the heating system to condition the space.

The whole tradeoff is about comfort and convenience to have the space conditioned when you want it and to have an appropriately sized system for the needed load. Whether oversized or undersized, equipment may not operate efficiently if asked to operate outside its designed load level and duty cycle. It can also become unreliable with the wrong duty cycle, i.e. a small unit asked to run too long and too frequently or a large unit asked to run too infrequently and for too short a duration each time.

That the equipment has to operate at a higher load during recovery does not imply that it actually uses more total energy in the daily cycle. That would only be true if the equipment is inefficient at the recovery load. An example where this is true would be a heatpump system with an auxiliary resistive heating element that engages in recovery. But, a gas furnace or a sufficiently large heatpump is likely more efficient in recovery since it is also working with a larger gradient until recovery is complete.

It is common for basic clock-based, programmable or smart thermostats to allow for daily drift to save energy. They use a more comfortable set point during morning and evening hours when occupants are most sensitive and then allow some drift towards ambient during midday and nighttime hours when occupants are less likely to notice. This is precisely to leverage this tradeoff to have less total energy losses per day. They don't completely turn off but vary the set point so that the building is kept within a range where the comfortable and efficient recovery is possible. Depending on the day, this might be equivalent to turning off or it might just reduce the duty cycle slightly.
That doesn’t make sense to me: why design it if it cannot / will not be tested to validate / demonstrate the value of their ‘algorithmicEngineering’?

How can one make any functional claims of value without some functional testing? What am I missing?
I run a website (https://mustad.io) that keeps track of the stats for matches on Final Fantasy Tactics Battleground (https://twitch.tv/fftbattleground). We have a channel on the stream's discord dedicated to development of various other tools for viewers.

This is pretty remarkable. My intuition is that tech like this is the future of meat, not the current-gen "disguise a plant as meat" type of fake meat. Definitely looking forward to trying this out, and if it passes my taste test, would love to buy stock if they go public.
I'm skeptical there's any value being generated here then. Who are the customers? How do they know this fancy looking biological design is any good at all?

It's fine not to actually test fire it, but in that case prove it with simulations. Demonstrate that it's superior to existing designs, or at the very least that it's functional.
> You're not revolutionizing anything by proposing a migration to an even less ubiquitous protocol than HTTP or SSH.

I did not propose that. I didn't know git had a consensus mechanism built into it other than manual resolution of merge conflicts. A simple blockhain over https is easier for me than trying to get git to do something it wasn't designed to do (it works with files and repos, can you imagine having a commit+push+merge for every word edit in my example?) there are ready made libraries for this. The path of least resistance to acheive desires goals is what I would take. To each his own, blockhain can solve these problems outside of crypto.

Another big problem area is PKI as well. I'm sure you've seen stories about suspicious CAs, a distributed ledger of CA issuance and in the wild certificate observations is one legitimate goal that can be solved by blockhain (better than centralized CT logs that don't take ITW observations).
It's actually not a very valid take at all. It is VERY clearly not black I suggest your monitor is extremely poorly calibrated if it appears so. It not only isn't a crescent its not even a vaguely crescent shaped object.

Americans produce very good movies and TV shows! I'm specially fond of golden age (1930–1960s) movies, but also like more contemporaneous stuff.

I have been working on PlayStation 1 homebrew SDKs [1] and tools over the last year. Unlike other retro consoles - especially Nintendo consoles - the PS1 gets almost no attention at all; "PS1-style" games made using Unity or Unreal Engine seem to be decently popular, but nobody wants to bother with the real hardware anymore. Which is a shame, as the PS1 is a relatively simple platform which can be found for relatively cheap and offers a bare metal development experience reminiscent of modern 32-bit microcontrollers, with some interesting graphics and audio hardware thrown in. It is a platform unencumbered by the tile/sprite and storage limitations of the 8- and 16-bit eras, yet still limited enough to be a breeding ground for creativity and at the same time easily expandable with custom hardware through its integrated serial port and ISA-like parallel bus.

I think FHE is so powerful that we tend to let the cool possibilities distract from really practical and useful stuff that is possible today. Today, I think just the ability to do private lookups is, while super simple from an academic lens, could be really powerful. Plus, if it gets widely used, the underlying tech will mature, and then the more exotic stuff (multiple clients, more complex computations) becomes more realistic.

We're currently building a service that will let you do private lookups without needing to really mess with the underlying cryptography or schemes. You'll be able to use it to deliver even stronger privacy than E2EE ("E2EE+"?). For example, DNS that doesn't learn what you resolve (this is beyond something like DNS-over-HTTPS), or a messaging service that doesn't learn who you talk to.

As far as learning more, I wrote a blog post that tries to cover the basics of doing private lookups: https://blintzbase.com/posts/pir-and-fhe-from-scratch/.

The concept of DNS rebinding and DNS records pointing to a private/localhost IP address is particularly interesting and I remember when I first came across it in the wild. It's not exactly re-binding in the classic attack sense described in the article: some US sportsbooks make you download a geolocation service that verifies your location in order to place bets. The sportsbook's front end communicates with it through a DNS record pointing back to 127.0.0.1, and opens up a WebSocket to talk to the service. I imagine the WebSocket is used to bypass the same-origin policy but perhaps someone more knowledgeable can speak to that.
Locksport and tying knots are two skills I would love to develop but I don't get enough opportunity to use them to use the application of the skill as the driver. Probably need to find a community for each to see if that helps.

This is the flip size of the fuzzing approach that is called property testing. It's legit but involves unit test style manual creation of lots of tests for various components of the system, and a lot of specs of what are the contracts between components & aligning the property testing to those.

There are two wild species of sheep in North America, Dall and Bighorn. Hunting is usually restricted to adult males that have horns which make a full curl, i.e. 360 degrees. It takes approximately 8 years for them to mature to that point. They're rare but hunters find them every year.

I don't know much about them or how their behavior differs from domestic flocks. But in the wild they do have social structures and they butt heads to challenge each other. Like most social mammals, leaders provide direction and protection.

I feel like this has been a long journey but I think at this point I grok the fundamental differences.

- I know that what trans folks experience with dysphoria isn't "hurt feelings" and is a medical issue more akin to triggering someone's PTSD.

- I view the absolute bare minimum of what is required for acceptance of trans women is using their names, pronouns, treating them as you would cisgender women in all situations not directly related to medical care where chromosomal differences are relevant, recognizing dysphoria as a medical condition, and providing them access to the medically necessary healthcare of medical transition in the same manner as any other medical treatment.

If there was a treatment that could alter a trans person's brain chemistry so they would no longer feel dysphoria it would without question be deemed medically necessary and covered. I view medical transition as the same thing.

And if you oppose any of those things that is opposing trans people since every single one is fundamentally necessary for trans people to exist in society. I would think you mad if you tried to argue that a law banning two people of the same sex from having sex was not opposing gay people and that it was enough to simply view them as people instead of monsters.

- I view fighting for the usage of the word man and woman that is consistent with the medical community (yes I know you disagree with that bit) as convincing people to include trans men and women when using those words so that the meaning changes, not telling people that they have to. You are under no obligation to accept trans women, but in my view calling them women is a prerequisite to that.

It's great that you're now not shunning them from polite society, locking them up in mental institutions, or lynching them but that alone doesn't constitute acceptance. I view what you're doing the same way I would view someone who said they "accepted black people" but were insistent that they were "black people" not "people" because the overwhelming majority believed that "people" means humans of white skin.

Also lol at SF or Seattle. I live in a deep red state.
The average user's probably got their SSN, DoB, address, full name, employment history, credit card track 2's, passport details, and more spread across multiple breaches, being sold across multiple darkweb markets, precisely because they have zero regard for privacy.

Suggesting that usage of GrapheneOS is "LARP"ing a "paranoid" opsec level is dismissive of the very-real threats facing domestic abuse victims, whistleblowers, journalists & political activists/dissidents in repressive, authoritarian regimes, and countless others.

Just because you live in a safe, privacy-respecting, liberal democracy doesn't mean everyone else does, and it absolutely isn't reasonable justification to demean those who don't by painting them as irrationally paranoid. That's gaslighting real victims who actually have to be concerned about these companies handing out their data to countries that will put them through, in extreme cases, excruciating torture, before killing them or imprisoning them for life.

Not everyone is lucky enough to live your life, so stop assuming your threat model is automatically the "right" one for everyone else, and that any more intensive threat models than yours are inherently "irrational", "unrealistic", or "paranoid".

Yeah, we think private lookup could make distributed retrieval protocols like IPFS, BitTorrent, etc significantly more private. Currently, they are in some ways much worse from a privacy perspective than centralized alternatives, since they involve broadcasting information about each retrieval to a large number of peers; the ability to do private lookups could really help fix this.

I’ve tried a lot of apps like this over the years. Two main things I’ve struggled with with all of them:

1) none seem to handle multiple calendars well. I have a personal calendar, a work calendar, and a side project calendar, I want them all to be independent, have tasks blocked out on them, etc, but still be aware of each other. So for example, I want to schedule a doctor’s appointment on my personal and have my other calendars mirror that time block, but scrub the details/make it generic. Super specific idea obviously, but if I don’t have it I have so much manual overhead aligning everything that I just give up and do it by hand.

2) they are all dogshit slow (not sure about this one, haven’t tried it). The combo of electron apps and what I guess is just calendar synchronization latency makes them have surprise ux patterns and overall just shitty experience in general.

A third thing is that I really enjoy planning my life with a kanban, and executing my day from a todo list (scheduled). That’s hard to nail.

Last: my notes live separately (as most people’s do I’ve seen anecdotally).

I hope someone can really succeed in this space because time blocking is so powerful, but nothing has fit my lifestyle quite right yet unfortunately."
