I fully agree with using Qubes, but I also think for most people in most cases that's akin to putting a bank vault door on the front of your house. I guess the question I would ask is: gun to your head you have a choice between running a random Setup.exe in Windows, a .sh/.deb/.rpm in linux, or a Flatpak. Which one are you choosing? 10/10 times I'm choosing the Flatpak myself. It might not be perfect, but it does seem better than most alternatives everyone uses all day every day.
Right.. They make $174k/year (except the few leadership roles) which was last increased in 2009 -- so roughly $130k equivalent based on the BLS inflation calculator..

To receive a congressional pension, you need 5 years of service (to be elected to 3 terms), the pension can't exceed 80% of your salary, and is based on the number of years of service.. There are ~280 prior members of congress collecting FERS pensions and the average collected was $41k/year in 2016.

It was much more difficult to use SharePoint, at least for us, as we were a small team and had no dedicated IT person. You could use SharePoint and OneNote, sure, but it wasn’t obvious how to create a group with all the docs/notes in one place. We had Teams up and running in a couple of days. Anyone now can create a SharePoint site through Teams. Super simple.

MS has released a native app for Teams by the way. Performance is much better. I’m not an advocate for MS, I’m just saying Teams is far more than a chat or video app.

I was using the GPT-4 base model for pairing when it launched, I'm sure it's still fine, but Code Interpreter I think is just a nice upgrade since it has a very full-featured VM and Python w/ several hundred libs built in, it is fairly smart about doing math or running code to answer questions, and you can upload datasets (and binaries, lol) for it to process so I consider it a strictly better version of ChatGPT. (Also, my assumption is that any tuning being done for the Code Interpreter model will be made towards it being a better programmer/logical thinker, which is all I care about for my CI use cases.)

So now it's a pyramid scheme?

A scam and a pyramid scheme are not synonyms. Toxic promotion culture is neither a scam nor a pyramid scheme.

A scam is where you pay for something yet do not receive the promised item. Nobody promised you a promotion at Google so it's not a scam.

A pyramid scheme is where an ever growing amount of low level newcomers pay for the returns of those on the top. When you're a low level newcomer at Google, you don't pay for the higher level employees. Google does. Nor does it require an exponentially growing amount of newcomers for the system to not collapse.

Then why comment? I'm not trying to be an ass, but this is literally the only comment you've made in this thread. The linked article is a Twitter thread. If you don't have Twitter, fine, move on to the next thing you can actually comment on.

Person A offers a reason why we may want to be slightly more skeptical than normal about this information. Person B suggests we can pretty easily look past that. Person C (you) injects themselves in the conversation simply to say that they can't add anything to the conversation. The closest example I can think of that is equally cringe-inducing is two people talking about a show and an unasked third party leaning in to add, "well, I don't have a television so I can't comment."
The WHO has global deaths at up to 30 million, most of which are in the staggering incrase of excess deaths the past 1.5 years. Then we have over 100 million with Long Covid officially and it's growing at a staggering rate too. In a lot of countries 1 in 5 have new Covid related health conditions.

It's a bit early to be calling it over given its hospitalising millions world wide every week, killings 100s of thousands and disabling millions still. It's a lot worsen than Flu by the numbers so far and it's still successfully raging.
This is an interesting strategy, I hope it continues to work for you!
Federation can help if you run the software yourself since your identity and your "content" are tied to your instance just like they are with email. As long as you keep it running and make sure the software is up to date with current federation standards you're more or less safe from all those hazards. If the developers of Bookwyrm grow out of their anti-capitalist phase and sell it to Amazon, get that family and realise there is more to life than chasing characters on a screen, get hit by the proverbial Bus or otherwise lose interest in maintaining the project you still have your "content" and identity which you can keep alive by either federating with other ActivityPub-enabled platforms - which will probably lead to a loss of functionality - or maintaining/getting someone to maintain the project for as long as there are interested users. All this stands and falls with the viability of ActivityPub, it will be interesting to see whether the concept pans out in the coming years.

> One thing that I have confirmed is while the abstract and intro talk about evaluating "code generation" as if GPT-4 code generation is getting worse, In is 3.3/Figure 4 it says they judge correctness only if it's passing raw code: "We call it directly executable if the online judge accepts the answer" not whether the code snippet is actually correct (!). The latest model outputs code as triple ticked in Markdown: "In June, however, they added extra triple quotes before and after the code snippet, rendering the code not executable." I mean, this is important if you're passing code directly into an API I suppose, but I don't think this should be properly extracted to judge code generation capability.

This seems to be saying that a completely torn ACL will actually reconnect if the knee is kept immobilized? I did my ACL and in the MRI it was just gone aside from a fuzzy puddle on top of my tibia, it'd be incredible if that could regrow.

> knee immobilisation at 90° flexion in brace for 4 weeks, followed by progressive increases in range-of-motion until brace removal at 12 weeks

Compared with an ACL reconstruction with Gracilis tendon graft (the procedure I had), I wonder if complete immobilization for four weeks might do more damage than just having the surgery. I was limping but still loading up the leg as much as possible for four weeks after the accident and then off it for a week after surgery, and the muscle loss and general degredation was severe. It took months of physio and most of a year of exercise to rebuild back to ~95%. Taking 2-3 months to get weight back on it sounds light it could be worse overall.

I'm on a bunch of private torrent trackers where retention is excellent. Jackett is interfacing with those trackers and exposes a unified "Torznab" endpoint that Sonarr and Radarr use to autograb whatever I'm interested in. Those in turn send their match to qBittorrent and get notified when a download is finished, and hardlink (very important to save time and hard disk space) the result to a destination folder in a nicely organized fashion. That folder is observed by Jellyfin, which matches the name with The Movie DB to show cover images of shows and movies.

Cool, I like this!

I realized last year that I was investing too much time into sharing things on Twitter that I'd subsequently forget about or be unable to find.

Instead, I created a separate section on my personal blog for "notes" where the idea is to house content that I'd otherwise post to Twitter. It's been working well, and I like owning my own content rather than contributing it to another platform.

I'm especially glad for this change after seeing what's happened in the past few months with Twitter and Reddit. It's been unfortunate to see those platforms become so much more possessive of the content that their users generated. If you publish to your own platform, you're safe from that. At least until LLMs bury your platform in noise.

That kind of information should not be hosted on a website though, because if the website goes down you'd be losing all that tracking data, all those thoughts and all those plans.

> There's no way the "91% more time to read papers" figure applies equally to the median Chinese and median Indian scientist.

I'm also kind of shocked at the idea that language barriers cause greater barriers to reading a paper (91% time increase) than to writing one (51%) in a non-native language.

> That said, this article and paper don't really seem to provide any kind of solution, they just identify a problem. I don't really see what the scientific community can do about it?

Guessing at the authors' motivations—for me, although it's obvious in retrospect, if you had asked me yesterday "what are some barriers to non-native speakers of English entering the sciences?", I wouldn't necessarily have thought of the extra time to read and write papers, and just this spreading of awareness is a reasonable end in itself.

Beyond that, I think part of the point is to de-externalize the cost. Currently, native English speakers bear, or at least know that they are bearing, little to none of the cost of the difficulty others have accessing their work, and I think the hope is to force people to think consciously about what they could do. For example, in math, at least, there are journals and series that publish translations of non-English works into English, but I know of few that work the other way; that could be a major good, even if it is a daunting undertaking. If that's too much—as it surely is as an immediate solution—one thing that occurs to me is that perhaps there could be some sort of training for scientific writers in how to write more accessible English—where jargon is OK (since it's to be read by specialists), but "advanced" English constructs should be avoided when possible. tetris11 mentions elsethread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36787311) that Nature apparently does something like this.

In F# you have to order your source files and it sucks, hard. It's not typically considered a benefit but rather an unfortunate side effect of how F# works that you have to just live with.
The why of hooks is actually easy to explain, it's just that nobody does it.

A complex UI component will usually contain different aspects A, B and C. Each of these requires hooking into the component lifecycle in various ways.

In a class/interface-based system, you have to sprinkle parts of A/B/C around in each of the lifecycle methods. The only way to abstract and contain this is to make `<A>` `<B>` `<C>` subcomponents, which comes at a significant cost.

Hooks instead allow you to group the bindings to the component lifecycle by aspect instead. You end up making a `useA(…)` `useB(…)` and `useC(…)`, which can not only run directly inline, but can also pass values directly from one to the other, setting up a complex, unconditional reactive data flow in a handful lines of code.

In my experience when hooks go wrong it's for a few reasons:

- people don't understand how they should useMemo for derived state, and instead emulate the old way with useEffect/setState

- react doesn't have an official hook for stateful derived props (i.e. useMemo which has access to the previous value), which leads to a hundred adhoc solutions in every code base

- people order their components the wrong way, nesting a source of truth inside a component that needs to derive from it

- sometimes, the side-effect free rendering model is a poor fit (e.g. mouse gestures, timers) because there is no guarantee every event is followed by a render... it's much easier to just use idempotent state changes on mutable refs here and tell the react core team to stuff it.

By the way, OO pretty much always implies retained mode UI. What React does it bring the benefits of immediate mode UI to a mostly retained world, and this is where FP excels, because you can use optics/lenses/cursors and all that meta-data-manipulation goodness to deal with mutations.
