When I worked for MDPI (please lower your pitchforks), we had a guideline, IIRC, that the reviewers of a paper were supposed to not be collaborators with each other, in addition to the usual requirement that they not be collaborators with the authors. ("Collaborators" meant coauthorship within five years ago). In principle, this means that if a citation was necessary and you were an author on it, you could hope that your co-reviewer(s) would recommend it.

In practice, reviewers did sometimes request citations of their own works. As an editor you could reject the whole review report, but you were on deadlines and quotas and you typically had a hard enough time finding reviewers anyway. In my experience, most of the practices that researchers gripe about in MDPI are results of onerous working conditions rather than any kind of laxity in the culture; everyone was regularly encouraged to be serious about scientific integrity and seek out the best reviewers, and practically all of the people I worked with were quite intelligent and concerned about doing a good job, but it was also an unspoken expectation to work after hours, Saturdays, to always be sending an email, etc; exhausted people make mistakes.
I really need to re-record that, I agree! I make a passing comment to replace them with real quotes, but at that point I guess the AI wouldn't have been all that helpful.
I dunno, I just do things because doing them is clearly a good deal for me. E.g. the amount of money the job will pay me at the end of the month is worth the amount of misery it causes. My "secret" is to have a very low cost of living, so basically every a monthly salary covers a year's worth of living expenses. And, every year at work is basically a decade shaved off of the total employment time (and a decade closer to early retirement).

With math like this, it's not that hard to motivate oneself. Which makes me think, if people are having a hard time motivating themselves do to things they ostensibly want to do, maybe doing them is not in their best interest (e.g. too risky, reward to far away, reward to small compared to equired effort, reward only monetary while other areas of live are badly neglected etc.). The friction in doing the thing may be your subconscious yelling at you: "wtf are you doing, stop, this isn't good for us".
You can even upgrade it to 128GB cheaply nowadays and run the much bigger models (LLaMA 65B 16bit).

I’m writing Haskell.

* Transpiling Haskell into JavaScript using GHCJS 8.10.7 requires more than 32GB RAM

* haskell-language-server uses about 40% (~26 GB) of my total memory after running for a day or so. Add a couple of REPL sessions and I’m over 32 GB.
Oh, I meant that we had it easy, not that the hiring process for other jobs looks similar.
It's not necessarily a questions of "need". Physicists are just measuring what protons ARE. Whether or not gluons and the strong force are necessary to form an object that looks like a proton is a separate point from what protons actually look like in our universe.

To your point on if such an arrangement would be possible or not ignoring the strong force, it would not. The "net-charge" viewed from the +2 quark would be repulsive, resulting in an unstable arrangement of matter, even if you could construct it in an equilibrium state it would be the unstable kind.
Super helpful - thanks!
I see that I struck a nerve when pointing out that this mythical 'defensive alliance' constantly wages wars on the territories of other countries :)

I'm so sorry.
My first beloved Chihuahua was similarly very expressive, but almost never barked. Lots of trembling, sneezing, some cute vocalizations while sneezing, growling, grumbling, stamping her feet, pointing with her eyes, but no barking... unless other dogs she affiliated with were barking.

I was so amused, I always used to praise her for it. I'd say

> That's right, baby! Good job!! That was a good, family bark!!!

Chihuahuas are wildly underrated dogs. :)
I was actually expecting the HN link to be it )
Under what circumstances would Finland be at war with Russia?

Lithuania is in NATO, so Russian conflict with any other NATO member drags Lithuania in.
I opt out every time - I've never used the scanners - and the delay has never been long enough to make me miss a flight.
nit: gluons aren't electrically charged. They carry strong charge.
No, there’s an underlying logic and underlying settings that are still accessible.

But transparently wrapped around that there’s a “good Clippy” who can teach, interpret, and orchestrate those settings with a CUI (conversational UI, pronounced “koo-ee”).
Appreciate it, would welcome your feedback after you've given it a spin. You can email me anytime at [first name] at type.ai.
Cool, thank you for sharing.

I am interested in simulators, especially in simulators of analogue circuits. Do you have any recommendations on where to start reading about algorithms that lie at the core of simulators?

Also, how was the experience developing such product with JS?

I don't think you are using a conventional definition of upper class, or that it is interchangeable with capital class. I also don't think these are the definitions for the Post you were responding to.

That said, I agree eight figures is about the right number for when a family would not have to work assuming that the capital assets are managed appropriately.

I think high value labor is the main path between lower class and middle class. High value labor plus smart investment of surplus capital gets families from middle class to high class. The path from high class to Capital class, as you call it is, primarily return on Capital management.

To get from Capital class to Kennedy class requires a significant windfall or luck, as you would expect for tail end of a Pareto distribution.

>From the base to the top end, controllers fail like crazy due to "stick drift." It's planned obsolescence.

Or maybe the technology to make it last forever doesn't exist or is prohibitively expensive? Blaming it on "planned obsolescence" makes as much sense as saying that batteries are "planned obsolescence" because they eventually wear out.
"somebody"
I was involved in some diligence when a prior company was considering an acquisition. The numbers they claimed vs the numbers we could trust from their various SaaSes were pretty fishy. It was a small deal - more like $1M. We didn't pursue them, they don't exist any longer.

The gap here was _huge_. If I was the JPM diligence team, I might have asked them for read-only access to their product analytics. They claimed something like 10K FAFSA applications/day. This should show up nicely in their analytics tools. Yes, they could fake these visits--but it would be much harder to fake that you're getting 10K visits from appropriate regions, at appropriate times of day, with appropriate dwell times, with appropriate distribution of completion rates.
And how good of an analogy is that ? On one hand there's something affecting a part of transportation (of course transportation directly or indirectly affects other things) and on the other something that will potentially affect every output of the human mind ?
So the merchant has to buy/rent a device. I expected it to be phone-to-phone for such wide acceptance.
Regarding mind control, yeah, that. Cambridge Analytica + tailored deepfakes scares the hell out of me. Imagine finding the most unstable individuals and deepfaking a video of all of their friends commanding them to buy coke. Or vote. Or kill.
It is? Maybe I live in a bubble of some sort, but the only worry I see about AI is how automating too many jobs too quickly will impact society. Personally I'm not worried about the Terminator scenario, both because I don't see AI going in that direction at all, but mainly because we won't be able to regulate what nation states do with AI in terms of defense. That may be a little pessimistic, but we can't even regulate what they do with Nuclear Weapons or who they go to war with, so we'll never be able to regulate what they do with AI.

the idea is simple: gpt4 + python + reactjs + PSQL + 2 evenings -> working demo.
Exactly... In other words, they say that they don't know whether this will get us to AGI.
Sorry, I worded it badly: I didn't mean other professions hire like this, only that we in software development lived in a microclimate where finding a decent job was easy. Now it's getting harder, I guess.
There is an international, widely-recognized standard alphabet for precisely specifying the pronunciation of things in arbitrary languages, and you are unsure of why it would be useful for people trying to figure out how to pronounce something? Visit the wiki page for each IPA symbol and there will be recordings and examples and you can learn how to read it instead of complaining that people are using the correct tool for the job. The real problem with the linked page is that it is only using IPA half the time...
I saw college students (not indian) fail to answer basic arithmetic questions like 50-13 stuff like that.

He meant they do basic calculations very fast with out a calculator.
The point about this being more generally available for tinkering is fair, and from my experiments and usage, I can state it is impressive as absolute hell. First, however, we need a discussion focused on how we manage work as industry groups on at least trying to manage the proliferation of the technologies.
EnTT is quite nice because it's more than just a ECS (if you want), it also includes libraries for a variety of other features like resource management. It's more of a "game engine" library, which is fantastic for projects that don't need to muck about in a "game studio" like Unity/Unreal (e.g. for games or simulations that don't require traditional level design).
You're going to have to be more specific at this point.
It's worse than that. You refer to the mythical "we" that is able to act coherently and make effective decisions about AI use. There is no such thing. The world is a set of competing individuals, countries, and corporations; each with its own interests, acting independently.

I don't think many people see this because the "mythical We" is used all the time. "If "we do this", "we must do that", as if all of humanity can act together coherently or ever has. People seldom think about how imaginary this viewpoint is.

Written statement and actual non-public statement are very different for all those religions you mention. If religion is opposing politics it’s only because it wants to be political power on their own…
The BRICS coalition, wherein India hates them, Russia is a dysfunctional colony, Brazil is on the wrong side of the planet and South Africa.. its not clear why it made the list. Sorry, when the USSR collapsed, you didn't get multipolar, you got unipolar.
This article is amusing because some countries don't have a good way of notifying institutions about deaths (like the SS death master file)...and there are lots of issues associated with dying (taxes, inheritance, loss of benefits, etc).

In those countries they just don't report the death, sometimes for decades. I used to joke that the government should have a celebration of centenarians and see how many of them actually show up.

Pretty bad. Carmakers for instance occasionally fail to issue recalls for the same faults that they already have in the us.
To become a cop in the U.S in most places , there is already a low bar for entry. All one needs is a high school diploma (or ged) , no felony conviction and about 3 months training.

> How much time should a team be spending figuring out what the right thing to do is? Figuring out if the plan is still the right one?

Keep in mind that in most "jira-oriented" places (or probably all of them), that task isn't attributed to developers at all.

If you are doing this and development, like a healthy place, yes, 30% of the time evaluating your work sounds sane. But that evaluation time must not be interleaved with development time at all. Any interleaving will destroy the value of both tasks.
Probably means authorized by the IRS in some way, either as a stamp of approval or specifically authorized to use some sort of e-file api.
The TSA checks are ineffective, they fail detection 95% of the time [1]. That's a pretty good indication that it's security theater.

Personally, I'd expect the decrease to be mostly attributable to increased cockpit access security like locked reinforced doors.

One of the proposals out there (often posed as part of funding UBI - but not always) is to tax robots.

Should we tax robots? - https://news.mit.edu/2022/robot-tax-income-inequality-1221

> What if the U.S. placed a tax on robots? The concept has been publicly discussed by policy analysts, scholars, and Bill Gates (who favors the notion). Because robots can replace jobs, the idea goes, a stiff tax on them would give firms incentive to help retain workers, while also compensating for a dropoff in payroll taxes when robots are used. Thus far, South Korea has reduced incentives for firms to deploy robots; European Union policymakers, on the other hand, considered a robot tax but did not enact it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_tax

There is a lot of material out there both for and against taxing robots.
Second that.

Similar questions get posted pretty often in engineering subreddits and it's difficult to answer as robotics is so multi-disciplinary.

Very few people in this world are skilled enough in embedded programming, PCB design (motor control and sensors), materials and structures, dynamics and kinematics, controls and machine design (CAD, selecting manufacturing processes, selecting various COTS mechanical parts like actuators and bearings) to be a one-man-robot making orchestra.

Advice to OP: pick a specialization to start with, and focus on learning that while using pre-made parts for the rest. For example, buy a ready-made robotic arm and write path planning and controls software to operate it. Or build your own CNC router/pick-and-place/3D printer/pen plotter but use off the shelf/open-source electronics and firmware.

Once that's done, pick another specialty and move on to that if it interests you.
> Is it basically, “if you merge without our approval you can’t operate/sell here?”

That's exactly it.
I used to kid that I couldn't get a security clearance because I had relatives in Eastern Europe collecting social security for dead people.
I think the correct way to frame this is that a foolish person squandered their money (something that happens every day in every country) rather than a young, impressionable would-be victim got sucked in by predatory messaging.

Otherwise we have to close all
the Louis Vuitton stores.

They didn't get scammed, they just blew all their cash. Adults are allowed to do stupid things with their money, it's almost never a crime (nor a tragedy) when it happens.
I believe LLMs could generate limitless page reports.
Not a single prompt of course.

Use a generic summary and LLM indexing to feed context every time you want a subsection, if you want do not stop there use text to image to add drawings, you have 1000 pages thing.

Simple tool and intention relation.
Thank you for articulating all of this, I don't think I'd have been able to put it this well.
IMO China has very clear doctrine that should make it very easy to avoid war with them.

Taiwan is part of "One China". Violate that, expect war.

China isn't really an aggressor otherwise. Little border skirmishes with India but that is going to get sorted out eventually once they finally decide on a damn border together.

It's not like they are planning invasions of Japan, Philippines etc and not really relatable to either Ukraine currently or Poland in WWII.

To me it seems pretty clear that China is happy to win economically.

US really doesn't want that to happen so there is a good chance they start a war over Taiwan to prevent it.
I emailed this and another idea to jeff@amazon.com in 2017. The reply came 3 weeks later and consisted entirely of boilerplate 'thank you' followed by corporate fluff.

My other idea was to allow the buyer to customize the shipping box's dimensions (at a slight increase in price) to allow them to reuse it. Whenever you need a certain size cardboard box, you just get it delivered as your next order.
Doesn't the whoshiring threads get filled out throughout the week. Shouldn't a better analysis be done this weekend?
And to extend that a bit for the OP also read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming_in_the_pu... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_tape and similar literature for the "interface" with a computer. No "terminal" required :)
IC fabs don't export their water.
I suppose that's true, but at the same time any paperclip-maximizing human corporation is implicitly aligned, at least to some degree, with goals of maintaining certain conditions for human survival, for the sake of their shareholders and their employees' productivity. Although I'll accept that they can still get trapped in a Prisoner's Dilemma of bad incentives, or produce externalities that might be dangerous to humans, I think they'll at least only do that where the harm is controversial and indirect enough that the corporation can convince themselves the profit is worth it. With an AI superintelligence, there's a risk that destroying human life is an instrumental goal on the path towards paperclip production. That also comes with a risk that the AI might become powerful enough that government loses its monopoly on violence, which creates a big increase in the space of options for, say, paperclip factory zoning.

Even if someone maniacal and heartless like Kim Jong-Un set out to use an AI superweapon to take over the entire world, and succeeded, I don't expect them wiping out all their human subjects on purpose. Because what would be the point in ruling an empire of machines? You can get most of that from a video game. Whereas an AI would likely have no qualms in getting rid of the humans as dead weight.
Sure, but that safety net runs out. And once it runs out with nothing established beyond it, the "shithead" is SOL.
They are all of their primary resource trading partners. It's not a military alliance and it doesn't need to be. It's a trade alliance that works for all parties (at this time).
It really does fly in the face of "corporate personhood" in a way that allows a kind of slavery over those persons.
My impression is that 80’s and 90’s lobbyists were too occupied fighting the EPA to engage the Bureau of Consumer Protection. Maybe the reverse happened in Europe? And now Europe is fixated on the privacy angle of CP.
We have very little storage and the grids require electricity generation from something. With lots of HVDC connections we could conceivably move enormous amounts of electricity around on a continental scale and thereby reduce the need for storage. That would be great...

...but it still won't be enough. We need something that can produce power when renewables can't.
I love clojure. The boss ask for a jar file. I give him a jar file with clojure in it.
Insensitive High Explosives
Interesting tidbit on nuclear weapons safety and high explosives that are largely non-flammable and difficult to detonate:

"Following the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash and the 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash, concerns were raised by accident investigators about the high explosive used in the nuclear devices, which had detonated on impact. Efforts were started to find an explosive that was stable enough to withstand the forces involved in an aircraft accident."

"The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory developed the 'Susan Test' – a standard test designed to simulate an aircraft accident by squeezing and nipping explosive material between metal surfaces of a test projectile. Following experiments with this device, the Los Alamos National Laboratory developed a new safer type of explosive, called insensitive high explosive (IHE), for use in U.S. nuclear weapons."

"IHE explosives can withstand impacts up to 1,500 feet per second (460 m/s), as opposed to conventional HE, which will detonate at only 100 feet per second (30 m/s)."
Well, "extremely cheap" shipping then. I had that 13.18€ Amazon.de book pre-ordered on Book Depository for 14.00€. So the Amazon.de delivery is 12 times the cost of the Book Depository shipping cost.

Had to order it from a local retailer instead since it releases in June, where it cost me 16.10€ with shipping.
Redneck dog meme: If we wuz descended from wolves, how are there still wolves?

(I'm just teasing, as you were.)
Most developers at Google, the rest of FAANG, startups, etc. get a big part of their compensation as stock. They _are_ shareholders and profiting handsomely from it so of course they're firmly aligned with the pro-shareholder, pro-corporate viewpoint.

Yet, somehow, people are failing to understand this and attributing it to propaganda? To tweak the parent poster's words, the fact that so many commenters fail to realize that is an absolutely fascinating study in how common ignorance is of how people's bread is buttered, even their own.
Those numbers seem low. I don’t doubt that’s what was quoted, but I don’t think they were fairly calculated. For example, a lot of times the greenhouse gases used in refining materials used to make panels are not included, on the assumption that they will be recycled. Turns out recycling is not economically worthwhile (mostly because of these externalized costs). But that’s most of the greenhouse gas emissions: turning silicon dioxide into pure silicon using coal.

Regardless it’s apples to oranges. You are comparing your solar output to the mix of fossil fuel power the grid supplies. But a small modular reactor would be a carbon-zero power source.
