eLife is a treasure. eLife isn't just another "reputable brand" in publishing; they're aiming for a better publishing model. Thus, fears like

> They worried it would diminish the prestige of a brand they’d worked hard to build

are disappointing to hear. eLife's good brand is a way to get their foot in the door, to change the system from within, but the dependence on good journal brands in the academic world is the primary reason that publishers are able to extort the academic world and lock the outcomes of publicly-funded research behind paywalls.

It's hard to not become the thing you set out to fight once you're in the system, but I appreciate that eLife and Eisen are still pushing to change it from within, and I hope they succeed, and that they overcome pushback from the vested interests.
I don't think there are any logical arguments against superdeterminism, except spirituality. Even non-super determinism and Penrose quantum consciousness just pushes the superdeterminism into a unobservable metaphysical corner.
Partway through the article the author reveals they are primarily angry about vaccines and masking, not surveillance. They also quote Ian Miles Cheong. This is an entrance to a far-right pipeline, whether the author intends that or not.

I find the complaint hypocritical, they're trying to "nudge" the readers themselves. Though I do agree with parts, the conspiratorial thinking made me lose interest in reading the whole thing.
> The problem is whoever controls the government and controls the news is also the one enforcing the laws.

I know that it is not as applicable today, but you should really look into the whole 'separation of powers' thing.

Why would they? It's cheap intelligence on their opponents. Bypasses those pesky constitution laws. Win-win.
Solution is force rake over of adjacent rurals and build good and cheap housings only for young couples and young families. The elderly will be forced to move to special old folks home away from you people. This is the only way to reverse Japanese ageing population. Having old people devalues the place and make it unproductive and stuck there. Then give a special work pass to foreign women such as those Philipines and Chinese to provide a base of young fertile women in the city to attract working men to look for brides. Any these women married Japanese men and having children will be granted with citizenship. It is doable. It is just too mamy old people blocking the solution...the only workable solution. Anything else, just frame my statement, will fail. See you in 25 years later and see how true my statements are.
It sort of does, it says that the water has to be within the limits that were used during operation, so you can go look up the management plan:

https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2116/ML21168A062.html

The limit given for tritium in liquid effluent is 0.00001 microcuries per milliliter.

That doesn't mean anything more to me than just stating that it has to be inline with the limits they used during operation.

They also dilute the effluent as they release it, so the water anything would be exposed to would be well below that.
So it probably would have been better to give them an excel-like frontend connected to an sql server?

I worked with someone who did this too. Would also commonly send screenshots of code we were discussing.

"Dude, I need to see this code in context, can't yous end me a link to the file / line in Github?"
I did it the other way around. I thought of an animal (house cat) and ChatGPT did the guessing. It got as far as civet cat, which I called a win.
I wouldn't say it so harshly but some people in the laravel ecosystem make too much noise at times.
Oh, that's a nice car analogy! (It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it :D)

... but on a bit more serious note, yes, this is an absolute hard question of how to provide "informed user experience". We all know that using phones, GPS, 4G networks, wikipedia, google translate, NFC payment, etc. makes us rely on them. We don't prepare for long trips, we don't even buy maps, nowadays I even forget to download the offline map.

All models are wrong, some are very useful. Picking the model that >> computers are mysterious and some apps "just work" and anything that doesn't work is "fuck that shit" << works for many people. (And if there's enough social pressure then suddenly even the most user-hostile UX becomes "just open that there, scroll for 10 minutes, tap on that small thing, fill out that form, wait until Zuckerberg personally approves in a few minutes, fill out that 30 CAPTCHA, yes, type your bank account number there, it's just how it works, and sure you can see the funny dancing Asian girls!".)

And ... sometimes people put their cat in the microwave, and open every and all malware, and ...

My Google-fu is failing me.
The product description goes into detail of how to produce a fake gold bar and how real their product appears, and even emphasizes that it passes common tests for authenticity - chemical, weight, resonance and even x-ray. "Our gold-plated tungsten bar and tungsten alloy golden bar are only for souvenir and decoration purpose". But, of course...
So I just spent 20 minutes of my life going down this rabbit hole, including the google doc.

Full disclosure: one of my research areas in university was adolescents, and working exactly with these types of studies.

Anyways, the main theme which keeps coming back in this material is that the actual change begain in the EARLY 2010s, which is exactly what I'm saying. My assumption is that basically as social media started to focus more on visual content (photos and videos), people started getting weird feedback about how awesome everyone ELSE was, but you were not. Etc.

Keep in mind that teens are notoriously hard to study, and alot of this material is self reported. Many teens are basically always depressed and suicidal, and or become so for some small reasons such as the results of a report card or other such factor. This is why they are a higher risk group for this sort of stuff than say the average adult. At the same time you can't really shelter them too much, because it's the experiences they gain in adolescence that allow them to build their life toolkit.

Also keep in mind this is just US teens. The rest of the world is -- well -- the rest of the world, so the data cannot really be extrapolated to more than this country.
'We Never Thought a Bank So Successful Could Collapse So Fast'

Python already uses the "t" character with a very different meaning: opening in text mode.
As I explained, it's been in use since the 1930s and is still widely used in the black community in the US in the same sense today. The sense in which raspberry1337 used it was, precisely, abuse of language as a rhetorical device. Probably not deliberately, hence I tried to explain the historical and current cultural context.
As machines get smarter, humans get dumber. At this rate, we're all going to be begging to consume only machine generated content in five years.
It's also obscure what really gets sent to Microsoft, and what not. There was a Linux based OS that warned the user at every single application trying to phone the internet[1], even Gnome Calculator.

It'd be interesting if you'd give arguments for why you think it's not a solution.

> As a consequence, they too have become a half-repository, but at least one with a certain entry barrier.

eLife will still have an entry barrier, but passing that barrier doesn't give you access to publication, but to a positive rating in the assessment of the significance and rigour. In other words, it will still perform the function of highlighting potentially relevant research, but it doesn't block non-highlighted research from being accessible.

Colorful coding, to the point David Fowler has been looking how to improve the status quo.
Tungsten and gold have a comparable density. This company sells realistic looking, fake gold bars, that are supposed to pass typical tests as well. They are advertising them for e.g. as a prop for trade fares and such. Whoever would need a prop at a trade fare to pass a chemical test is anyone's guess...

Yes, fake gold bars like this have obviously already been used for fraud, e.g. of the top of my head: in 2016 a then-18-year-old in Göttingen sold 259 fake bars to a local bank for a total of ~300k Euro until somebody realized it. [1](German)

Retrocausality is like time being cooked spaghetti instead of dry. Or even macaroni. The world line is not "parallel" to the time line. Like the One Electon Universe idea ofositrons as time-reversed electrons.
The article doesn't define time travel precisely, but presumably they mean discretely jumping ahead or back without passing through interventing moments.
It's so bizarre how all the computers at my work have clickbait on the start menu. That's windows 10, so admin could disable it I think, but defaults tend to stick.
In your examples you are explicitly handling the async nature of foo(). So you acknowedlge that there is a difference and you even use specific syntax to deal with it.

The question is rather: is it possible to remove the await and just automatically rewrite every program to use await where necessary?

And the answer is no, because with only sync functions you have the guarantee that if your thread crashes, every code immediately stops executing. Not so with async functions. Once they are run there is a chance that your own thread crashes but some other thread keeps executing more code, at least for some time, potentially executing side effects.

It cannot be automatically decided if this is okay or not. Or to turn it around: the behaviour of a program that automatically awaits async functions (which formerly where sync) can be different.
Listen, I'm all for tech innovation, but we need regulation asap. This new wave of "AI" is going to be really dangerous if we don't deal with it early on. What's to stop a pedo from grabbing this tech start creating despicable things with it? Rapists? Scammers?

Does Google know what AI is – or is the default blogger theme garbage?
Few things make me drop my coffee in shock - but I'm using Google Blogger on a default theme and writing about AI. AdSense rejected my site because "content is unnecessarily difficult or frustrating to navigate or interact with." I don't even know what I can CHANGE!! It's AI, of course, it's going to be "confusing"!!! You'd think Google would know what AI is! I'm using the DEFAULT BLOGGER THEME, so if the message is about the "layout," that's on Google!

My recommendation for every PHP projects that uses external libraries is to use your own wrapper function/class to minimize contamination of the project.

If you use a framework then try to write all your own code outside of the framework and pass in all needed framework data as arguments to your own classes/functions.
> So I don't think accepting everything would be ideal, but I'm more than happy to try.

An important caveat is that this experience isn't accepting everything; it's publishing everything (or at least, everything that satisfies the desk check and is sent out for peer review). The whole point is separating evaluation from publication; they'll still distinguish works that they think are significant and rigorous from those they do not, but all works will be accessible. That's the mental shift they're trying to make happen.

Hold up we're talking about Nix not Rust !

(yeah sorry couldn't resist, I know this is probably misleading)
I have been exploring nix for the past few months and my experience with nix has been both exhilarating and frustrating, simultaneously. On one hand, I find it hard to imagine not using nix now, but on the other hand, I hesitate to recommend it to other colleagues due to its steep learning curve, ux issues and potential for footguns.

I sincerely hope that nix community improves the UX to make it more accessible to new users. Though for those willing to invest time in learning it, nix is extremely useful and highly recommended.

I think the difference in the material of both is quite stark too.

Fowler's books are very descriptive, Refactoring is clearly a list of strategies. And there's even conflicting advice, since it's meant to be a catalog rather than a rule book.

Clean Code on the other hand is very prescriptive.

Not that it matters, the people that wrote the GoF Patterns book have been saying for years that their book is descriptive but very few people hear it.

1 Reason Why Current Music Doesn't Suck:

- I like it

More seriously, I've been listening a lot to the mainstream pop songs on the radio during my car commute, and I don't know which carefully crafted formulas and laboratories those songs come from, but they're in sync with what my brain perceives as "good music" quite incredibly.

I genuinely enjoy listening to them.
Strategies for inclusion and diversity in Tech teams

But that's not really different from boring low-volume high-margin retail. Let's say a car dealership. Or basically consumer banking for anyone without a biweekly/monthly income. Or anyone who goes on vacation. Let's say I open a bank account, put my savings there and go on a long unpaid leave and spend a lot of it.

Banks are just picky, because they can be (and because regulation makes it hard to have a boring bank, so there's no competition). Because banks still don't understand the business they are in (because they can be dumb, because regulation, etc), as the Hashicorp story illustrates.

People want dumb banks, but banks make money buy upselling shit to people. So banks are basically evil MLM machines instead of trusted/trustable financial partners for people. (Because the people who actually need financial support will get taken advantage of in less time than it takes me to type this. And those who don't need it are constantly annoyed by the scam machine. Rightfully.)

And, ridiculously, Chase spent time and effort educating tellers in case the next startup ends up opening an account at them ... instead of making sure that they provide a good service so that founders choose them.

And that story is perfect. Everything went as expected. Nobody bothered the startup. Yes, closing the account was harder than imagined, because they were impatient, still they got it done in 2 days.
No, that would turn it into a fully blown thin client.

What is the point of having half a TB of storage, however many gigs of RAM, lidar, radar, sonar, and the best processor architecture money can buy to render a glorified, interactive video?

I can't read the article because it's down, but if you're listening to crappy music, that's all on you. We're no longer limited to the music that's on the radio, nor to the music that can be found in a record store, nor to the music with recording industry contracts. Music discovery has never been easier.

Where exactly might the free will be, then?

Compatibilism is a fancy way of saying "free will so much does not exist that what determists call free will isn't even a valid definition to use as a starting point for investigating an answer." It's not an answer to the question, it's a denial of it.

Another, simpler interpretation of Compatibilism is "if free will doesn't exist, then believing it exists or not has 0 effect on anything, because our beliefs are predetermined, and so at human scales the answers Yes and No are equivalent in all observable ways".
