You need to write the paper on a topic. Physics/chemistry/frog jigging?
Papers submitted to a journal are written in a general paper format, with minor variances that the journal requires. Google 'how to write a scientific paper' and riffle through what the search returns, reading those and seeing how that looks in a published paper from the journal your paper that fits what you wrote will guide you.
Proof read your paper to get rid of all typos and grammos.
You are now ready to submit it, but first, if you know a PhD level expert on your paper's topic, approach him to act as a screen, to validate your work and conclusions as worth of being reviewed by that journal via their pool of referees. If the validator gives you thumbs down - ask why in detail? correct if possible or admit the paper is intrinsically unworthy of publication.
Normally, people get educated and in their final year write their degree paper, B,Sc, B.A, B.A.Sc, etc and in their 3rd and 4th years will have read a great deal in their degree topic, studied the math/chem/stats/physics to their year 3 or 4 and write their finals.
Now, have you done this? or is this a de novo paper?
I do not want to discourage you, there are Newton's yet unfound....
It really seemed that the issue was mostly "Unicode is really hard if you haven't thought _deeply_ about it" because application code, library and framework code, _and_ "system" Python code had to go through several iterations of "here's how to do it right" before something reasonable came out that solved issues for most / all stakeholders. And the Swift / Raku people are still sitting on the sidelines smiling, knowing that there are a lot more "lenses" to view text through that Python doesn't make easy (but neither does Haskell, JS, or Java, so there's good company in good-enough-for-now land).

SEC Sues Crypto Exchange Binance And CEO For Breaking US Securities Laws
Imagine you own a store. Every week 2 people come in. They talk and shop for a long time. You spend a lot of money showing them all the products and answering their questions. One of the two spends always buys a ton of stuff and the other one never buys anything. You realize you can save a lot of time and money by banning the other person since they never buy anything. Next week, neither of them come in.

Thats reddit. The people that use the first party app and click ads and make money do it because of the content created by both the first party and third party app users.
The old chestnut "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" referred specifically to USENET if I recall correctly; it is often mis-applied to the Internet itself or to other services. But it referred to the notion that since USENET servers just routed their stash of stories to any node that requested them, censorship was functionally a non-starter; if you (the node owner) wanted content that some other node owner was squelching, you could request it from another node.

But it turns out that model had some major flaws. Nowadays, one could say the 'net interprets lack of censorship as offensive and migrates away from it. If there's one thing the experiments after USENET (from Slashdot to Mastodon) suggest, it's that people on average want some control (and don't on average want the burden of being their own moderator for every damn bitstream that comes down the pipe).

Anyone who thinks AI is a threat is either a moron or an agent (agent of influence, power or state). As described in many initiated conversations, AI to date in it's most known form is a glorified autocomplete. Any ML-implementations are rudimentary but valuable.

One of the hardest proponents of "there's a 50% chance of AI will wipe out humanity" are right out not well. Tegmark, the one who uttered this is a real hoax. His "Future of Life Institute" also offered pro-nazi paper "Nya Dagbladet" 100 000 USD. Once uncovered by expo in Sweden (https://expo.se/2023/01/elon-musk-funded-nonprofit-run-mit-p...) the offer was retracted.

The venue, "Nya dagbladet" is connected to Russia and seems to be a broad spectrum investment into the far-right movement.
So they communicated to you that it's a combination of all the above. You're just being difficult for the sake of being difficult here.
Honestly, I hope they measured something.

However, looking at the app, the moderation decisions, the 'firing', and just about everything that the admins do, I know they haven't measured anything.

I've worked in enough BigCos, startups, middle sized, &c. companies to know that Reddit's management, like literally every other company's management, is just making stuff up on the fly and hoping it works. Because that's all that they have ever done.
The sub also needs to get big enough to get out of the "Facebook group" mentality, and have at least one competent mod that keeps it from turning into memes and shitposting.

It's a tricky balance. I've been in small (~sub 500) subreddits that are worse than larger ones just because the mods don't enforce any posting requirements.
Back in the day that those codebases were written, the 3rd party libraries did not exist or they were GPL. Everyone actually had to reimplement a linked-list library or macros in C. Nowadays you should probably fire anyone attempting to do that inhouse.
An excellent use-case of AI with Stack Overflow would be to integrate it and use existing questions and answers to help people solve problems. A terrible use would be to feed the answers back into the system, because it reduces both the value humans and eventually AI bring.

As a person that looks at stackoverflow answers, it's also awful to see the long-winded AI answers. If there's mistakes in the answers, there's no way to get the submitter to make changes because they likely didn't understand it in the first place.

There's ways to do it correctly, but inexperienced developers opening chatgpt and blindly copying answers to harvest karma isn't it.

Pixar is struggling. Unclear how much is related to Disney+ strategy (where they release via Disney+ rather than in theatres) and Covid restrictions, but its recent releases have struggled financially (numbers from Wikipedia):

* Onward - $140M

* Soul - $120M

* Luca - $50M

* Turning Red - $20M

* Lightyear - $226M

It used to be that Pixar films regularly got past $1B in revenue. This new reality where they gross very little is strange. And this new reality likely means that Pixar has to reduce costs.
The bottlenecks in Rust builds arent't type checking/borrow checking. It's things like macro expansion, module resolution and compilation, codegen from LLVM IR, and linking. Some of these things have workarounds like sccache, using mold instead of the system linker, etc but others are problems that not only remain unsolved but are actively getting worse in the ecosystem.
Is there a reason why you want to use ChatGPT for translation, rather than a purpose-made translation AI such as DeepL?

Ask HN: Could Golang have features similar to ASP.Net Core’s Blazor framework
Recently, I’ve dived back into the world of Asp.Net and I’ve been using Blazor [0].

Having built a few apps with it, I can see the value of having a strongly typed language on both the frontend and backend, as well as having the markup files and code being in the same file.

I’m now wondering what would be required to have something similar in Golang?

> A ceasefire comes at the cost of all Ukrainian lives in the territory that Russia has already invaded.

Based on what? These are mostly the ethnical Russian in eastern Ukraine. Anyone who didn't like Russia has long left before the territory could be taken. Many of these people even have relatives in Russia.

Now why do you assume Russia will simply exterminate any living being in the territories it just taken?

> Additionally all a ceasefire does is allow Russia to build up its forces again and invade in the future.

Why do you assume Ukraine has to sit waiting without doing anything in the meantime? Ukraine can build up forces as much as Russia can. Ukraine could join NATO as well. There are countless solutions to your problem that don't require any lives to be sacrificed for it.

this was the most non-news layoff I've seen in some time and I don't understand why we are pretending it is a conversation piece, especially with this title.

Those early podcasts are amazing.

The discussion of "How do I move the turtle in LOGO?" [1] is where Stackoverflow became what it is rather than what it could have been.

They were hard to find ten years ago when I listened to them. Maybe they are still around somewhere, but they were obscured by SEO last time I tried finding them a couple of years ago.

Anyway, Joel lost and so did we all.

> I couldn't do stage 2 on my laptop because that involves chrooting into the install and unfortunately my laptop isn't powerpc.

For people doing similar projects, you can use qemu in user mode to work around this. I believe the relevant Debian package is qemu-user-static. With it, you can execute binaries from foreign architectures as if they're native, with software translation doing all the hard work for you. Think Rosetta (not Rosetta2) but on Linux and supporting a wide variety of hardware.

Install the package, copy /usr/bin/qemu-<target architecture>-static to the /usr/bin folder in your chroot and you should be able to chroot into the foreign system!

I've used this to analyze some ARM binaries pulled from a router and it works surprisingly effective. Applications may fail because of the version inconsistencies between the daemons running on your OS and the old versions the chroot expects, but for basic tools it should Just Work, really.

There was a magic period of time lasting about a decade when internet search Just Worked. If it was on the public web Google would find it. Search worked so well I took it for granted.

Today I avoid Google search at all costs, and use it mainly to find Wikipedia pages or to search Reddit.

The Googlers blame SEO and there is some truth to that; but Google has on retainer a huge stable of the world’s best-paid engineers, and still couldn’t be bothered to invest in their flagship service.

I don't get this problem. Google search doesn't give you answers, it's not reliable, and you still have to double check the answers your.

Actually, that’s perilously close to the situation facing academics today. Contingent (also called adjunct) faculty are responsible for more and more collegiate instruction. Indeed, tenured professors are a shrinking proportion of the university’s teaching personnel.

Does this mean that academics have suffered from universities emphasis on leaving scientists to do science, instead of focusing on teaching?
What industry are you in, and how long have you been at it? I tend to think the parent post is objectively correct after 25 years of doing everything computer related.
Nobody is literally referring to the concept of property ownership though, since that's not really what this is about.

Of course I literally "own" a device that I buy, but if the vendor forces me to agree to a ToS and EULA to be allowed (legally, thanks to DMCA) to use the product as advertised and can lock me out at any time, it's truly ownership in name only.

This is about fancy footwork using technological measures to diminish consumer rights and consumer choice without literally violating any law. The law has not caught up to this, but the writing is certainly on the wall.

> I accidentally found this vulnerability that when you remote login into a Mac using Screen Sharing

> Did you expect someone next to your machine to see everything you do

The “Sharing” part of “Screen Sharing” seems to imply that, doesn’t it?

> and be able to take control when you remote into it?

That’s more surprising. I think the main issue is that, if you start it remotely, the distinction between screen sharing and Remote Desktop isn’t obvious.

Edit: Apple’s support page (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh14066) only mentions initiating screen sharing from the computer whose screen is being shared, and is clear about the reverse:

“While your screen is being shared, the user of the other Mac sees what’s on your screen and can open, move and close files and windows, open apps, and even restart your Mac.“
Some funding happens through the university, but an increasingly large part of it is gathered through external grants, most often financed through the government. My understanding is that the author argue that when external grants make up most of the funding, universities are just overhead for the scientists. The scientists will still be funded by the government or other grant agencies, but not be employed by a university. In other words, a different way of organizing research.

I don't say I necessarily agree with that position. it would have large implications on how advanced degrees are given, which is part of why the government pay for research in addition to the science output. There for sure are other things that must be handled differently in society as well, but that's the argument as I understand it. To some extent government labs as well as private research organizations to some extent do research outside of universities already, but most science happens inside universities and is combined with education.
Lightyear was so bad at so many levels. I think it's expected for you to step down after such a flop. I'm pretty sure she fought for a lot of Lightyear stuff to be included in the final release. The risk didn't pay off...such is life!
A lot of the new best practices of c++11 were already being developed and advocated for years before C++11. There was a part of the community that was focused on RAII, smart pointers, etc. Even lambdas had their beginnings in functors.

I think the difference is a lot of people were ignoring these trends in their c++ use, and were slightly blindsided when the standard appeared to endorse them.
> Having done great work in the past is not enough to incentivize others to keep you around.

Happening to have a backup copy in your house 25 years ago doesn't justify your current role of being good at losing the company millions of dollars. Disney and Pixar have had a series of movies that in the main have had bad production and writing decisions attached to them, so even though the technical delivery (e.g. animation; music) and performances are generally very good, they are just boring. A lot of the spark seems to have gone.

If you watch the latest Disney or Pixar movies and compare it with something like the Arcane TV series, which is unbelievably beautifully animated and extremely well written, it's night and day. The talent that led Pixar has fizzled or been replaced over the years, and they can't pay people a fortune to lose them money forever.

How could there not be a minimum risk score in a situation like this where none of the countries even match up...
You’re generally not compressing water or hydraulic fluid because they’re not very compressible. (Although I think many hydraulic fluids are actually more compressible than water, but still barely compressible. They’re used for other reasons. The ideal hydraulic fluid for most applications is entirely incompressible.)

But systems using hydraulic fluid to carry power have something that keeps it pressurized as it moves: that is, something that can supply power. Often very large amounts of power. (So do water pipes that have some form of supply, of course, but the pressures are much lower.)

So if you pressurize fluid in a pipe, you are storing some energy in the compressed fluid. You may also have a lot of energy stored or power available in some other component of the system.

In any event, the type of injury you’re describing seems like more of a velocity issue. When you allow fluid to escape from a high pressure environment to a low pressure environment through an opening that doesn’t have a whole lot of friction, the stored energy converts to kinetic energy. Some basic physics says that a small volume V of fluid has potential energy PV and mass rho * V. Conservation of energy says that, when that potential energy is gone (the fluid escapes), it has the same energy, but now it’s 1/2 m v^2. You can solve for velocity, which scales like sqrt(P).

(The real story is more complicated. Pressure in fast-moving things is a bit messy due to Bernoulli’s Law, and different disciplines use annoyingly different terminology. Static pressure, total pressure, stagnation pressure, just plain old pressure, oh my!)

Water (or air) jetting out of a hose through a tiny hole at even 100 psi is not likely to inject itself into a person.
