Completely insane. I found recently when I tried to make a new twitter account to tweet at a local customer support account that I was immediately suspended. I didn't post anything incendiary or rude.

My theory is that a lot of these sites have become so saturated that most people who are going to sign up already have, and the vast majority of new signups are all spam accounts. So the companies respond by making it more and more difficult to make a new account. The irony is that there is almost certainly another team at the company, if not multiple, dedicated to getting new user signups.
> You still have to deposit the e-beam resist while keeping the wafers extremely clean. This is non-trivial.

True, but this is more or less the same process for e-beam and photolithography (as I understand it). I don’t see a fundamental reason why one couldn’t replace one ASML EUV machine with, say, 1000 e-beam machines and run them all in parallel. You would need the e-beam machines to be extremely reliable, but they’re conceptually simple devices and this should be possible.

(With vague ballpark numbers from the Internet, an EUV machine appears to be about 10k times as expensive as a SEM. Building 10k e-beam machines at the same cost as one Alibaba SEM would be an interesting challenge, and there would be factors pushing the price in both directions.)
OP here. Happy to share any details as I deal with the hug-of-death...

Interesting table - very easy to see which fats are the worst. It's a pity they don't include animal fat in there but I guess it's all from an Indian context. Coconut seems like a good option but it can still go rancid if you don't refrigerate it.
Some the early citations [2 &3] are not the best quality as they are based on questionaries. In the Minnesota Coronary Experiment which involved 9400 institutional participants eating controlled meals they found that cutting saturated fat can reduce blood cholesterol but that doesn't actually make one live longer. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/records-found-in-...
I doubt they’re doing anything super clever with examining access to memory regions. From the way they use the word ‘honeypot’ and other comments here about cheating software setting team vision flags, I suspect they simply noticed some of their internal functions were commonly being used by cheating software. From there it’s simple: duplicate those functions, add “_legit” suffixes, find/replace all use of those functions in your code with the _legit-suffixed version, and add logging to the original function without breaking its functionality. You can even formally prove that the original function will never be called by legitimate clients with dead code analysis. Cheating software will go on using the original functions because they still work, not realizing that the core game logic functions they were using have suddenly become dead code with logging.
Wait until you see the Windows 11 “widgets”. It’s basically doom scrolling as a non-optional feature.
It's a long way around but I think/believe we'll have some general purpose computing/systems research wins, that start to expose some computing as fun, interesting, casual, and from there we'll see a budding "heh, neat" attitude.

The atmosphere around computing had gotten hypersaturated by the intense capital flows & software heavy-industries that have built up. Serving the industrial need has been an overehelming priority. And it's really outshadowed much of the fart around & make fun stuff element that made it a scene of interest for so long.

I continue to tend to believe there's a ton of looming change in what computing will be when it grows up more. While most of that work gets concentrated in refinement & iteration & support of heavy-industrial software, we also keep finding/stumbling on stupendously more straightforward ways of doing things (react components/vdom, then hoc, then hooks). The ability of very small ideas to more capably express computing has enormous implications.

The web is interesting here because the page is a bit of a canvas, resculptable by anyone knowing a little introductory javascript+html+css. Whatever innovation computing has, ultimately most of it strongly contrasts, is esoteric, no matter how useful it could be. Almost all the work is sent through an extremely small funnel where a handful of people are at all familiar with the system. For bigger libraries, it might be hundreds. It's bad that most works are obscure & inaccessible, but worse, most software being opaque means rven though it's everywhere around us, we never can learn it. The world is obscure, it's mechanism happening at nanoscale levels we cant get to & which are still down-compiled assembly codes with most of the meaning wiped away.

Computing needs a kick towards extropic ends. Creativity will re-emerge, but only if there's an exosystem or ecosystem of computing, and right now we are small isolated islands, producing appliances, fixed systems, not computing software. Somewhere computing has to start letting users back in.
Varangian guard was not really a elite guard unit. Varangian guard were stationed all around the empire and were more like a normal part of the military.

In the sources they show up just as often fighting in battles where the emperor was there and when he was not.

The did protect him on campaign, but that might just be because the were the primary infantry arm.

Some people think of them like the Praetorian guard, but that isn't really accurate.
That's not exactly what I mean by serious. I only play games for fun and don't consider anything that occurs in said games important to my life. But I am not going to spend the time playing something that has cheaters as it reduces the value of the experience to nothing for me.

Right. I want to know how much money this initiative could possibly save, especially in comparison to the scale of their revenue/profitability/spending on other things. It seems like they don't consider the well being of workers and how mistreating them will impact the well being of their company. People thinking along these lines should not be leading these trillion dollar companies.

Anecdata, but I've owned a pet cockatiel for just over 20 years. He lives in a cage about 10-15 feet from the kitchen where we have never ceased using nonstick cookware. We're just careful not to let pans overheat, and careful to take the bird to another room when we are using a new pan for the first time.
I'm more of a firmware guy, myself, although I've done some PCB design and a fair bit of hardware debugging. My startup experience has been in the oil industry at companies with fewer than 5 people.

I don't have actual data backing me up. It seems low to me because I have gotten the following impressions, some of which may be wrong:

* San Francisco is one of the most expensive cities in the world.

* Startups in Silicon Valley routinely receive tens of millions of dollars in funding despite having questionable business plans, conflicts of interest, and mentally-unstable founders.

* Even SWEs who just graduated from college can get upwards of $150k/year at major tech companies, even if they spend most of their time just copying and pasting from Stack Overflow.

* Good electronics engineers are rarer than good SWEs. Good electronics engineers who can also design high-precision machines are extremely rare, and the ones with semiconductor experience are probably earning big salaries at large companies.

* Hardware development is much more expensive than software development. In particular, hardware design errors can be much more expensive to fix.

* Getting a new manufacturing process up and running is a lengthy and capital-intensive task. Creating a totally new kind of manufacturing process to "disrupt" an established, competitive industry could charitably be described as "high-risk".

* Hardware startups rarely make it big, and the ones that do seem to be associated with trendy software stuff like crypto, AI, and quantum computing.

To summarize, a startup that's going to be spending a lot of money on hardware development in a very expensive city wants an experienced engineer with a specific and unusually-large skillset, and they're offering a salary that barely competes with an entry-level SWE job along with some high-risk stock options.

As another comment said, it sounds like they want someone who will treat this as more of a hobby than a job. Which is fine, but I feel like the proper job title for that is "independently-wealthy cofounder", not "hardware engineer". (Alternately, I've heard that highly-specific job offers can be used as an excuse to get an H-1B visa -- maybe they're looking to hire someone from Taiwan. Or maybe I'm just being cynical.)

I addressed it in the last post. Let me try and explain it in simpler, easier to understand steps that doesn't force you to use critical thinking. SBF was breaking the law and he knew it. He wanted a get out of jail free card so he went and donated money to politicians/groups willing to help. His behavior shows that he was willing to find politicians that he thought may be able to help him down the line. The donation records show the left appears to be the side more willing to do this as that is where 2x more money went.

Again you insult me rather than having a discussion.

> "Going by these numbers, roughly one in 1,000 papers gets retracted [..] that something more like one in 50 papers has results which are unreliable because of fabrication, plagiarism or serious errors."

I'd say these are underestimates. Let me add that 80%+ of papers are useless. The only "value" they provide is to the person getting academically promoted and/or building their publishing portfolio/cred.
It's pretty amusing that smart people would think that sigma algebra and the concept of space, let alone equivalent space and random variables in the language of sigma algebra, were "intuitive" in a Prob 101 tutorial.

UK's per-capita GDP displays the exact same pattern as France and Italy: growth until 2007, the bubble popping in 2008, and instead of a recovery, slow decline thereafter.

The author Paolo Bacigalupi has a great sci-fi story set in the Gulf Coast of the near future, centering on a teenage boy who works as the titular Ship Breaker [1].

Even though it is technically “young adult” fiction, I found plenty to enjoy for this middle-aged reader.

His novel The Water Knife is also excellent and more “grown up.”

The other issue is that metal-air batteries go by another name: fuel cells. You are power-gated by how much oxygen you can deliver to the battery. As a result, metal-air batteries/fuel cells are either very slow to discharge, or have big air pumps to have decent performance.

And of course, they will release oxygen if you try to charge them, which implies a way of rapidly expelling air when charging up quickly. Many past attempts avoid this problem by "mechanically" charge up the battery, meaning literally swapping out the spent chemicals with new ones. This of course require an auxiliary battery if you want regenerative braking or the ability to electrically charge.

And of course, the real catch is that we've already invented the metal-air battery in a practical way: hydrogen fuel cells. The big advantage with them is that mechanically recharging is very straightforward compared to other mechanisms. All other attempts are basically reinventing the wheel or have a very specific niche in mind.
