> Most scientists cannot even reproduce their own results. It's common to use things like manual Jupyter notebooks, unlabeled CSVs, and a bunch of disorganized data files, in a one-off process that a scientist manually summarizes to produce a paper.

The only way to get that under control is if universities had a career track of data scientists and programmers, basically a shared resource pool of specialists that all researchers could use. But most US universities seem to prefer to "invest" their endowments into professional athlete teams.

> That 16-bit payload length is actually written somewhere else, as bytes 3 and 4 of Buffer.allocUnsafe()’s global pool. These bytes may well be part of another active buffer, and thus we also stand a good chance of corrupting data elsewhere.

No kidding.
It's a camera in the general sense of "result is a image" but not a camera in the sense of capturing physical properties of our world and convert it into bytes/pixels/analog film.

I guess it's a "camera" as much as 3D software has "cameras" for controlling what the viewport is pointing towards.
If you're a new California homeowner, I recommend you never look up what others on your street pay in property tax.
I know what I'm about to say is against the grain, but access/privilege can be obtained by the best and brightest regardless of the circumstances. That's really the only sure way to find them.

The common person doesn't see all the opportunities and stays right where they came from and that's not really who we should be elevating in my opinion. Of course someone born with privilege would naively feel guilty that others weren't born with it, but that completely misunderstands what privilege is. If someone born into privilege feels guilty, it's probably because they don't deserve it, and I'm speaking as someone who wasn't born with much. I think I'm just barely above average enough to get away from the crap I came from.

There I said it.
Yes, you just have to join a certain private tracker that makes you wait for an interview. Then, once you're in, you have to seed for a bunch of time or fulfill requests that others have. Once you have gained enough reputation (which will be tracked with some weird point system), you are given access to a forum where people give out invites to their cooler secret clubs. Rinse and repeat this a couple of times and you can be in the cool kids club private trackers.
Thank you for the comment. I see what you mean and by no means my point is dismissive of the potential threats of AGI gone rogue. By the way, I didn't say "AI is good". I said that it would change the world the most.

Whether that involves the current humanity's status-quo or not, I'm not sure. I would even say that given where the world is heading right now, I would love to try and take a shot at some form of AGI governing us (making decisions etc) and establishing the world order. I'm not sure we can escape this future unless we go back into the medieval era.

In general, I guess I'm an optimist at heart and I'm more focused on the amazing things we would be able to do with the infinite compute and infinite resources rather than the doomsday scenario, but I'm supportive of thinking of both.

This article doesn't make much sense to me. How are people who respond to your anecdote about being robbed with powerless indifference "ignoring" the problem?

They have 100,000 employees pretending to work on the past.

They have no leadership at the top. Nobody that can steer the ship to the next land (or even anybody that has a map). Who is actively working at Alphabet that has the authority to kill Google search through self-cannibalization? Absolutely nobody. They're screwed accordingly. It takes an enormous level of authority (think: Steve Jobs) and leadership to even considering intentionally putting at risk a $200 billion sales product. The trick of course is that it's already at great risk.

They don't know what to do, so they're particularly reactive. It has been that way for a long time though, it's just that Google search was never under serious threat previously, so it didn't really matter as a terminal risk if they failed (eg with their social network efforts; their social networks were reactive).

It's somewhat similar to watching Microsoft under Ballmer and how they lacked direction, didn't know what to do, and were too reactive. You can tell when a giant entity like Google is wandering aimlessly.
> Also, there is a societal cost in that bad research can get picked up and believed by people, like the anti-vax crowd. Or, bad research can be used to push an agenda, like anti-climate change.

Responsible media would act as a gatekeeper. The problem is, most media utterly gutted scientific journalists for more profit, so they completely lack the basis to evaluate and supply context on research. Others, particularly boulevard media, willfully ignore any kind of ethics for clicks.

On top of that comes a general media illiteracy and media distrust that makes it even harder to combat because there's an awful lot of media that thrives on intentionally pushing crap to people.

The incentives of paid peer review would not be easy to get right. Especially if you want the compensation to be high enough that it would actually be an incentive to the reviewer.

Many universities limit the number of hours their faculty can commit to paid external activities. Paid peer review would be one of those activities, and it would have to compete against other activities. Such as consulting, which can be very lucrative in some fields.

So maybe you have to pay $10k peer review fee when you submit a paper. And then it gets rejected after the first round of reviews, because you aimed too high or the editor and the reviewers just didn't like the topic. You resubmit to another journal and pay another $10k. After a couple of additional rounds of reviews ($5k each), the journal seems to be interested in publishing the paper. But reviewer 2 wants you to cite some of their papers that are not really that relevant. Do you agree, or do you argue against and risk another round of reviews (another $5k)? Or maybe you get the feeling that reviewer 3 is stalling the process with superficial requirements, as they get easy money from the reviews.

Except that most academics can't afford that. American academics are massively overpaid by global standards, and peer review would naturally be outsourced to developing countries, where the expectations of pay are more reasonable. Many of the academics there are reputable, after all. Unfortunately the institutional culture is often more problematic, and corruption also tends to be more prevalent. Do we really want to let those institutions shape the practices of science worldwide?

One of the unfortunate features of capitalism is that being a middleman is more profitable than doing the actual work. Instead of a system where you pay $x for reviews, we could end up with one where you pay $1.1x to a middleman, who then pays $0.8x for the reviews. The middlemen get even richer than in the current system, because there is more money in publishing than there used to be.
Are you saying that there are not supermarkets with basic wholesome ingredients from which to make healthy meals in the United States?

Yeah, I'm also surprised that folks here seem so pessimistic about building a community that supports each other. It's not a political stance, to help your neighbor.

Maybe "the library" concept reeks too much of socialism for the average individualistic American.

But the tool library near me is a group of old guys who volunteer to run it out of a church basement. No faceless Other, just a community of people who want to work with others and put in the work to keep it going.
I believe you can start the second engine without stopping the first engine, then initiate separation and cut fuel to the first stage engines. A number of rockets feature this design and have a way for the rocket exhaust gas to pass to the outside of the hull before separation occurs.

> Why were the death camps in Poland and not Germany?

Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Oranienburg, Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen...

You can argue about the semantics (i.e., death camps versus concentration camps), but massive executions happened in both, and some of these were established throughout Germany almost immediately after the regime change in 1933.

That said, see the points below about Holocaust.
Most people have the wrond idea about what publication is, too. For almost all papers, for almost all readers, it doesn't matter if results are correct. It's just part of the game of academia. If you need to build something based on a paper, and you need it to work correctly (so, outside of public policy or macroeconomics), you need to do the work yourself.

But if you just want to cite the work and write your own paper on top of it, go ahead.

Someone on Reddit suggested that if you see someone fall over board, one group of people should keep their eyes 100% on where the person is, not looking away for even a split second. Meanwhile, another group of people should start throwing things over board. The moar things floating in the water close to where the person fell over board the better. Those items can help improve chances of finding the spot where the person was lost, and also the items might float in the currents in similar directions that the person might.

Someone also pointed out that often times there are a lot of fishes following the ship, and sometimes even sharks! If they are unlucky there might be sharks in the water :(

But if you convert that Java to Kotlin it'll get vastly shorter, whilst still being semantically the same. OOP doesn't have to mean verbosity. Java chose that path to keep the language simple, like how Go is also very verbose but simple (Kotlin is more concise but more complex).

You will look spindly if you remain sedentary and eat fewer calories, yes. Importantly, you can eat the same amount of food if you eat things that aren't laced with sugar and have higher fiber content. This is a good rule of thumb for cutting the excess calories when you're first starting out.

The trick is to metabolize the food you eat. You do that with exercise, primarily cardio. Then your body's new homeostatic program also involves "supporting the frame of the body during physical movement" and you begin to develop some muscle, preventing the emaciated look.
For a substantial amount of Americans that is exactly what is happening.

UWP never required AOT, it was an opt-in performance boost (that has since been rebuilt to support all of .NET in ".NET Native").

Today's post-UWP C#/WinRT bindings don't require AOT either.

Beyond WinRT, .NET (Core) has supported all the raw COM, including COM component hosting since at least .NET Core 3.0. It's Windows-Only, of course, to use that, but that should go without saying. It's mostly backwards compatible with the old .NET Fx 1.0 ways of doing COM and a lot of the old code still "just works". .NET has proven that with .NET 5+ and all the many ways it (again) supports raw Win32 fun in the classic WinForms ways. (And all the ways that even .NET Fx 1.0 code has a compatibility path into .NET 5.)

It would have been nice if Windows had stronger embraced .NET, but WinRT is still closer to .NET in spirit than old raw COM anyway.
Your question is unclear. Do you really mean the protocol, which is also implemented in alternatives like MinIO, or the AWS service?

You're seeing this everywhere. Chicago, Philadelphia, and so on - although the problem may be worse in San Francisco. Cities are struggling in the post-pandemic era as the rising cost of living due to inflation in food and other essentials has driven more criminal activity, mostly around theft. This is happening at the same time where many cities are also trying more progressive, reform-based approaches to policing and charging criminals.

If the only risk for stealing the author's scooter will be I get briefly detained and released the next day to await my trial, what's stopping me from stealing a different scooter every night? Even if I get caught 50% of the time, I'm making money the other 50% of the nights.

A lot of city residents need to come to terms with the fact that some of these progressive criminal justice reforms may need to be adjusted a bit, given that we now have years of evidence of their effects. Otherwise, you're going to drive every law abiding, tax paying citizen out of these cities.
Even my self-proclaimed liberal friends admit NPR has a left-leaning bias. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Seriously, screw Germany here. The way they oppressively Gestapo your internet traffic just to catch you downloading an mp3 to treat you like criminal menace, is unheard of in the rest of Europe.

Can't believe the so called "privacy conscious" German public are okay with this invasiveness of their internet privacy when they're the only EU country as hardcore on this "issue".

If only they would invest as much resources in digital innovation as they do in catching people download a DVD rip, Germany would rule the tech world.
Canada has relatively lenient copyright laws/enforcement. It's likely that Google sees no legal need to honor DMCA-style takedown notices in Canada.

Here's a guide to the legal status of torrents here with broad categories, from most lenient to most strict (caution VPN spam):

Interesting to note that downloading copyrighted content for personal use is explicitly legal (not just overlooked) in Spain, Switzerland, and Poland.

This was also an issue I had, but there is actually very good support for this hidden by an invisible feature. Simply add an `*@domain` as your email address identity. When you select that as your from address the fastmail UI gives you an input box to use whatever email you want, you don't need to make a new identity each time. For lookup, I just use my password manager.
Oh no quite the contrary, I think we agree! :) Sorry, my comments on Vital came off differently based on the context of the paragraph. My guess is the GP's comment on being made to feel uncomfortable happened at MetroRock – it would be really ironic for a Vital person to say something unwelcoming towards tech, because techies are such a big component of their community. :)

By "strange", I meant that it's not a "typical"/"traditional" climbing gym – in that it's explicitly aimed at the top of market with their pricing, network, and amenities. Although, to be fair, it's a literally-dying breed in NYC so there isn't much to compare it to, locally.

I was saying I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable there if I were self-conscious of appearances, because it's a relatively affluent milieu and setting. I do personally feel comfortable there myself, was just trying to empathize.

Happy to see there's meetups – it's a great place for that sort of thing.
Yeah that makes sense for some products/companies. It just seems short sighted for OpenAI when they could be solidifying a customer base right now. If they actually degrade the product in the name of "tuning" people will just be more inclined to try alternatives like Bard. An enterprise package could've been a good excuse for them to raise prices too.

Maybe their partnership with Microsoft changes the dynamics of how they handle their direct products though.
I think this would work, question is what’s the market and does the product fit? If there’s a (potential) user base I’ll jump in a build with ya!
It wasn’t really an anti-crypto diatribe. It’s useful to know where authors are coming from when evaluating what they say, and somebody who puts Blockchain in the same league as mobile phones clearly isn’t thinking clearly. They’re obviously caught up in some echo chamber.

I don’t know, maybe Blockchain and/or crypto will be widely used one day, but it’s been around for quite a while now and so far it’s been nothing other than speculative gambling. It hasn’t really changed life for most people, other than maybe them having won or lost some money on it. It’s not exactly a ubiquitous technology that most people use every day. The internet and mobile phones impact all of our lives daily, even if we somehow opt out of them. NFTs don’t. It’s more akin to the advent of online poker than an iPhone currently, and hardly a once in a decade world changing tech.

And that’s sort of the point with LLMs too, it’s so new we don’t know if it’s going to be mobile devices or Bitcoin yet. I’m inclined to think the former too, but it’ll take time to tell.

Is there anything worth blogging about here? The linked article is more interesting.

This person spent a few weekends in SF a decade ago and doesn't recognize their "once-beloved city".
No, most people move to a city for a job - not because they think the average person that lives there is some aspirational target.

SF had an abundance of jobs that paid a boat load of money, and people moved there to take those jobs.

Not because it's close to Muir Woods and has the best weather in the world, and the people at cafes wear cool t-shirts (although nearly everyone who moves to SF tries their hardest to convince themselves this is the real reason, not the job and the money).
