How do you reconcile the belief in the present system with the right of scientists (and other researchers) to sell their productive labor? The majority of academics are not meaningfully compensated for research and writing up research, instead relying on teaching for income.

A lot of the papers on SciHub are uploaded by the authors, because they aren't doing the research for the paltry royalties they receive.
I just don't understand why a company would take all its most important information and just punch it all up into a third party web site. Somebody could buy Slack, change the user agreement, and sell everybody's treasured secrets. It could be hacked. Subtle changes could be introduced ahead of a law suit. When (not IF) this happens I hope we don't have to hear a bunch of whining from users on this site who never saw it coming.

It's one of the most baffling things to me about modern corporate IT practices.
Scientists don’t get paid when people buy their journal articles - that money is kept in it‘s entirety by the publishers. What Sci Hub (https://sci.hubg.org) does is make research that has for the most part already been paid for by tax payers available to the public. I recommend reading about Plan S if you are interested in how this is being solves on the legislative side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_S
Sure, for 5 years maximum or a certain amount of profit made, whichever comes first.
This is neat, I'm going to try using it on some searches tonight. I have two pieces of immediate feedback:

- I need a date range option. I'm searching for something about a piece of software and getting answers from around 2011, so far out of date that it's useless.

- Really need some padding on the left side of the page ;)
And before we had moving 2D graphics in the form of movies and video games we had text descriptions of action with the occasional illustration or even (much later) photograph, which allowed people to build not only deep stories but rich worlds that have caused entire generations of people to enter what amounts to a shared hallucination (maybe more reminiscent of Vurt than Snow Crash). If only there were some way to use networked computers to allow users to navigate a world written by such authors... imagine how egalitarian that could be, without the large production budgets of 3D modelling and graphic artists enforcing large barriers to entry for aspiring contributors! Alas, no such future could ever be possible for The Metaverse--and it is almost ridiculous to imagine such--as the birth of The Internet in the same year as Nintendo invented the modern computer has guaranteed that no one, anywhere, has any interest in reading anything.
I liked the Teams video calls.

But did you ever try to search for a message in a conversation, and have it give you just the message you wanted, without any surrounding context? Or have you ever tried to scroll through chat history, only for it to lazy-load 10 messages at a time, making you spend 5 minutes scrolling constantly to find a conversation from a few months ago?

Teams would even lose my messages completely from time to time. It was honestly hard to believe how janky it was.
I do that with my teams. I have a technique where I turn existing code bases into literate programs. Largest I ever did this on was around 250k SLOC, but that didn't take me too long (you get fast with it if you practice). The result was a set of documents that I turned into presentations and diagrams (better than autogenerated ones) on the system to share with the team.

I'll be doing that with one part of our system starting tomorrow, actually, because no one understands it and everyone is afraid of it (there is one automated test which is a massive end-to-end test that exercises, theoretically, every capability and takes 2 hours or so to run).

The underlying code and repo are unaltered, this is a collection of org files that sit in tandem. I run org-tangle to verify that I haven't actually altered the code in my various adjustments to the literate program version. So people still see their regular cpp or whatever files and don't have to learn the tools I use (though I share if they ask, no one has ever asked). But they get the benefit of understanding the programs better.

EDIT: By "didn't take me too long", it still took a few weeks. But it was a new-to-us system that the original contractor provided sans tests (there were directories and references to numerous automated tests that we weren't given and they wouldn't provide) and with useless auto-generated UML diagrams as "documentation". But a few focused weeks was probably a lot better than a few years of confusion and frustration.
I'm not sure, that's not my area of expertise! I think it's pretty well-replicated that IQ is more predicted by genetics than any other factor; however, my understanding is that variation in IQ within an ethnic population is much greater than variation between populations. If a population mean is significantly different from others (which appears to be the case with Ashkenazi Jews and Asians), I'd expect the effect to be primarily environmental, not genetic.

I don't know enough about the inheritance of intelligence to be sure of this at all, though.

In the quest to preserve human conciousness, I consider this a sister project with Musk's move to Mars and as I tweeted before one of biggest contributions to humanity worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize.

Since there's no planet B and also no planet A sooner than later, we should put ourselves in the position to be able to move to a terraformed Mars or in temporary Dyson spheres as soon as possible.

These types of projects ("Shoulders of giants" all the way down) make me hopeful for the future of humanity.

Thank you Alexandra Elbakyan!

The biggest problem with Teams is everything outside of chat/video that it tries to do.

Did you know Teams had apps? Inside of it?!

90% of the problems I encounter with Teams (bad UX, crashing, freezing, corrupted sessions) would be removed if they deleted every feature outside of chat/video and more loosely coupled themselves to Office365/Exchange.
I think the Linux thing is machine dependent. I used a Dell Latitude something-or-other (7490? idk) for about 3 years, but it was the version that shipped with Ubuntu. Rock solid on Slack, and Teams mostly just had company-wide issues for us. But my colleague with the same model laptop and same Ubuntu version had no end to trouble with both Slack and Teams - turns out, the Windows version of the laptop had different internals and it struggled mightily. It was mostly GPU issues. Just thought that was interesting, mine is probably not a useful anecdote.

Yes, there is, barring context that maked it fair use (which is an exception that applies to things that would otherwise be violations), this is a fixed exact copy in an alternative form jist as much as a .zip or a lossless .png converted from the .jpg would be, and violates exclusive rights in copyright.

> Anyone can go to the Disney website and get those same 1s and 0s.

That’s an argument against damages, not against it being unauthorized copying.
https://www.pingcap.com/blog/rust-compilation-model-calamity... is a good overview. In general it varies depending on the crate but we track the performance at https://perf.rust-lang.org/ - if you look at cargo, for example, over 60% of the time is spent in codegen through LLVM: https://perf.rust-lang.org/detailed-query.html?commit=222d1f...
For producing electronics you can certainly contract out the design and manufacturing of boards. There's countless freelancers and entire contract design companies.

From there, it depends heavily on the number of units you want to produce.

For a couple hundred units per year, you're assembling things by hand. PCBs are shipped in complete, you put them in the case, test, package, ship. Cases will probably be 3D printed, which you can either do at home or contract out to a 3D print company. Designs can also be contracted out.

In the low thousands you'll be looking at having things hand assembled in a factory somewhere. Your housings and components are shipped to the assembly house, they do the manual labor of assembly, programming, and testing depending on how much you spend.

At this level, injection molded housings become more economical than printed, at the cost of a big upfront investment.

From there, you're into industrial quantities and I personally don't know how to get there, so good luck!

If you're really serious and have the money to front it, find a design consultancy. Their entire business is assembling and renting teams of skilled engineers to solve these problems for you. Or, build a startup company and hire a couple of nerds in a garage.

The root of your question is "how do I do this thing without all the skills?" and the answer is to just hire people with skills.
First time I've ever said this on HN, but just this once...

All you have to do is see the long list of failures to see that the general population is the one to be always shafted .. see the subprime mortgage failure, enron scandal, credit crisis that brought down Lehman just in the near past.

Institutions often reward publication in more impactful journals, and careers are built on your publication history.

Journals also often require that you assign copyright to them and restrict your ability to publish in more accessible places.
Agreed. If anyone feels some kind of way about you leaving a Slack channel, parent's company is using it wrong.

I'd kinda guess parent's corporate culture also tends to accrete huge email CC lists? As that's the same human problem: add, but never remove.

And also, Slack search by default is global: you don't have to be in a channel to get a search hit.

I don't know what to say but re-read my comments. You are clearly not understanding them.

Or, if you'd like, point out exactly (meaning quote) what statement I made which is contradicted by that comment.
It is weird that this answer was downvoted. I agree. What a great page!
There's a reason your being down-voted, and its not a hive mind, or a conspiracy, or a personal grudge against you. That's simply what it is like to be "wrong". Saying what you said is just playing the victim card.
The potential conflict is that people might think/perceive DD to still be out to harm this project given their previous request for the author to stop development. Anything that might be regular code review or discussion for "why did you choose this approach" could be seen as sabotage on this super public issue.
I wonder if we can use the vector representations from the inner layers of LLMs to create some kind of semantic code and text analysis tools. Maybe such a tool can highlight salient areas, and tag regions of code as "boilerplate", "standard idiom in this language", "business logic", "performance optimization", et alia.

As for taking notes, is there a IDE (or better yet a Vim plugin) that lets me annotate specific lines or regions with my own notes and comments? Or even annotate functions and classes that way, so I can see those comments in a pop-up box whenever I hover over an annotated function.

> The general debate has become extremely irrational, to the point that your intent is all that matters.

Worse: if your intent is to externalize costs onto everyone else, that's fine and dandy, but if your intent is to fix those externalities then you're the asshole, because reasons.

It does seem to be a common thread - not just on HN, but HN does attract entrepreneurs and aspirants thereof, who in turn tend to skew religiously capitalist, so it's unsurprising that it's a bit more pronounced here. The sort of attitude on display transcends climate denialism and jumps straight to what seems to be climate hostility: "I have a God-given right to harm everyone around me to make a quick buck and fuck you for daring to do anything about it".

The reaction to geoengineering is consistent with reaction to ecoactivism: hostile, and demonstrating an absense of self-awareness. Yes, geoengineers and ecoactivists alike can be misguided sometimes; no, that does not mean they're in any way the "bad guys" for daring to at least try to do something about the Cult of Capital destroying the Earth in the name of the Holy Profit.
>"But maybe that's fine."

Oh I think it's more than fine :)

Your goal wasn't to write a C++ or Python app it's was to create almost everything from first principles. I also don't think anyone would doubt your abilities after reading this post. You could link to the article in the repo. I think it's speaks for itself. My first thought when I read the article was "Wow, this is great." I've read it twice now. Thank you for sharing.
You only need FCC certification if you design radio circuits yourself. You can just use off the shelf modules which carry their own certification. Some are plenty small enough to include in a wearable.
Sounds like a lack of accountability. Heads must roll.
When you self represent you implicitly cannot sue for malpractice. The AI bot isn't self representation, it's representation in everything but name and liability which the explicitly disclaim. You can characterize it however you want but its just facially the unlicensed practice of law. If someone wants to ask ChatGPT legal questions and dig their own grave, that's entirely difference from a business that purports to offer legal advice but just disclaims any responsibility therefrom. Frankly, I don't know what's so confusing about that to you.

I tried out the HoloLens. It was pretty cool. A little bulky, but pretty well balanced. I could definitely see this being useful in industrial repair settings.

I'm also pretty excited about the next generation Google Glass with real time language translation. That seems like it would be awesome for international travel.

I have no real interest in it for gaming though. And VR is unappealing compared to AR.

Yup, I'm a 'normie' and I just sent my third project this week to JLCPCB. Paid less than 100USD for PCB production, assembly, and shipping.

After a few back and forths on a given board to iron out any kinks, I have a set of design files they (or anyone) can produce in any quantity for a reasonable price.

The hardest part for me now is mass-producing custom enclosures... I can design an enclosure and get it 3D printed easily enough, but I often stumble trying to make it ready for injection molding (geometry is usually too complex... and draft angles...) I've found a happy medium by using off-the-shelf enclosures and following the manufacturer's guidelines for how to fit the PCB inside.

But sometimes you need something a little smaller/cheaper/blue-er...

I used to teach a "Transform your Arduino Prototype into a Mass-Market Product" workshop :) I suggest starting with creating a PCB https://learn.adafruit.com/making-pcbs-with-oshpark-and-eagl... .

Be careful when wishing for absolutes. Editors serve a vital role as the first line of defence against BS publications. They are vital gatekeepers and separate the wheat from the chaff.

The problem is the likes of Elsevier and their outrageous profit margins.

The NIH and the CDC have objectively failed, on pure data. Autism rates were 1 in 2500 in 1980, now 1 in 44. Peanut allergies have tripled. Autoimmune diseases are up 50-100%. Obesity rates have tripled in past 50 years.

At this point, it's either complete incompetence by health regulators, or malice. There are clearly environmental factors at play!
- Academics resign en masse from journal boards for whom they perform unpaid labor and form their own lightweight nonprofit groups.

- The purpose of these nonprofit groups is to select submissions for peer review and acceptance to their "journal".

- The "journal" can be simply a website with a list of links to the arXiv. Hosting and serving the articles is optional.

Versions of this plan have already been successfully executed by academics, perhaps most famously in the editorial revolts against Elsevier's topology journals [1]. The associated nonprofits continue to operate the new open access journals successfully [2,3]. These organizations don't just outsource to arXiv, but you could if you were a group of busy academics who wanted to keep it as simple and lightweight as possible.

Universities expect you to have publications in peer-reviewed journals. In many fields there aren't alternatives to for-profit journals, and in fields which do have alternatives, many academics don't know the alternatives exist.

When working in a big unfamiliar code base, I:

* have a goal to do something like, save some image data for example

* just dig around trying to find where the right place is to get the data I need

* hack in code to see if I can get the damn thing to work at all

* once its working, try to do do it neatly if I can

* don't worry too much about not understanding everything - it can take months to work out how a system works. This only comes through doing lots and lots of iterations of hacking in little fixes and along the way learning what you can

I pondered on this for a while, unsure if my memory was false. Then I switched to Kagi and it felt like Google 15 years ago. I was served the content I was looking for, not the content Google wants me to look at. It's not perfect, but 9/10 cases (and I do 50+ searches a day) it's great, and validates my perception of the quality of Google going down (or less cynically, the likelihood that Google is optimising for the general public, and I'm an outlier).
> it's terrible when people need information from you

I'd challenge this.

IMHO, Slack is pretty decent if one instills 3 rules in corporate culture.

#1 - No DMs. Talk about all work in an open channel. Radical transparency will also make you a better company.

#2 - Keep replies on the same topic in threads. I.e. don't use it like IRC. Conversely, don't put unrelated replies in a thread.

#3 - Post-back end solutions/resolutions. A thread should NEVER end with "I'll DM you" or "Let's talk about this offline"

If these are followed, at some point you reach critical mass, where "question someone wants to ask you" is discoverable in your history.
+1 for UU. I'm not formally a member, but as far as churches go it's one of the few that I know of that atheist me might be able to tolerate.

Also Unity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Church . 'Unity describes itself as "for people who might call themselves spiritual but not religious."' If you ever are in the KC area, Unity Village is a nice place to visit, the church has a beautiful campus there.
