>It's the problem that in academia, there are such pressures to publish and be first nowadays that many people will do anything to get ahead.

If you can not do honest work in academia you should leave and go work somewhere else.

Fraud is not the correct reaction to the problems of academia, as it actively hurts it even more. Nobody is forced to do academic research for a living, especially if you have a degree in physics.
I think it depends a lot on the scale of what you're trying to do, whether it's worth it or not to invest in OSS/DIY. If you're one person looking to do a "one off" task like organizing some of your own music, then you're correct that it's probably not worth it to invest time and effort into getting an open source model to do it for you. Just pay $0.50 and be done with it! But if you want to build an app that does that for people, and you want to host it for free/cheap, the costs could add up quickly. And especially if you are a company with a language task that will have lots of users--the up front R&D cost can definitely be worth it to save on costs of usage.
It must be a later ULTRIX thing, I've ran it on VAXen and it's a pretty good BSD-enhanced *NIX there. Did you ever run the earlier (3.x, 4.x) ULTRIX releases?

Why not? In the long run M2 is basically the same as inflation.
This may sound weird but I really don't understand the desire to seek and make contact with alien species.

Humanity is the alpha species on Earth and we slaughter billions of animals a year to feed our appetites, regardless of the animal's relative intelligence or ability to provide companionship to us.

Why do we expect a more intelligent alien species to look upon us any differently to how we look upon a cow/sheep/horse/dog/lobster/octopus and every other species eaten by humanity.

SEC approves new cyber reporting regulations for public companies
I feel like the UFO thing is fairly bipartisan, and also I don't think a particularly good distraction for anything, because nobody is paying much attention to it. Maybe it's a fun distraction for the congresspeople. I know if I was in congress, this would be the highlight of my week and I don't believe any of it.
Maybe send down a landing party or two and hang out with humans for a bit incognito. Knowing about us isn't the same as interacting with us. At least that's what I think.

As for actual communication, it's a tough question. My first contact education is based on TV and movies. Hopefully they have a procedure based on actual previous first contact experiences.
No, it's not. It's not the same thing at all. Money supply is not the same thing as inflation, which is why we have different terms for them.
New AI phishing tool FraudGPT tied to same group behind WormGPT
If you fine tune them to be task specific, they'll perform well. In my experience, this control loop is a better investment than "prompt engineering". (When I say task specific, I mean very task specific)

GPT4 over the API is too fine tuned, which constrains its behavior. It fails to capture nuance in instructions. When you have the bag of weights, you can actually control your model. Having actual control over the model, and understanding the infrastructure that it's running on helps you meet actual SLAs.

And it's cheaper, if you're not backed by infinite venture money.

Really? That reply triggers you and all you have to show for is a strawman about getting angry bc bombs?

The concept is that most negative day-to-day occurrences are not ill-intended so your anger is probably misguided. Putting this into practice can improve your quality of live.
Well yeah, but I was talking specifically about the French and Indian war and its aftermath when various Indian tribes still to some degree controlled a territory which was several times larger than the all 13 colonies put together.

They had to wait till independence to “complete it”.
Over many years I've come across several discussions about fast linkers and how compile times sped up so much by replacing one linker with a faster one, but I've never found out what about them makes them normally so slow. Can anyone shed some light please?
Grain alcohol is illegal in many states. California restricts alcohol to 60%, for example, so you won't be able to find it in any corporate place, though you can occasionally luck out and find a bottle in a small liquor store that doesn't mind selling pseudo-legal things.

Correct, which is why you can't add them and claim 43% efficiency total. If each side was 60% efficient, you wouldn't add them to 120%.
Hmmm, I don't know if that is a convincing argument. We have super advanced monitoring tools for web servers with armies of admins, yet websites go down all the time.
System Design Blueprint: The Ultimate Guide
On the other side of the problem is how modern applications waste screen real-estate with empty space, bloated menus, and poor typography. The application designers also need to adopt responsive layout to make sure the app provides the right amount of information using provided space.

I hope a deeper rethink can consider the user's end goal being task management rather than window management. Maybe something in the spirit of "Ctrl + Z" and "fg" can be helpful.
Alpha was my introduction to the term NUMA.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "typeclass dispatch is static"?

I believe typeclasse in Haskell at least are lowered to an array of method, i.e. a vtable, and (single) dispatch happens at runtime.

Ask HN: Have you used Arc Browser
> You can also manually tile windows. If there’s enough space, other windows are left in a mosaic layout. However, if there’s not enough space for this mosaic layout, you’re prompted to pick another window to tile alongside.

Oooh, that’s going to be a usability problem, because it introduces a special mode for answering the “prompt”. Most users will never know that this mode exists, just that the system behaves weirdly and half-maximizes a single window sometimes.

I see people today unknowingly or uncaringly invoking the window overview mode (sometimes called “Activities”), and then trying to, say, click a link in a visible browser window. They then become confused when the windows all zoom around, and the click they wanted is ignored.
Wouldn't the closed processes and underlying data severely limit communities such as OSM from using Overture Maps results for anything other than a validation of what OSM already knows from other sources?

Perhaps Overture Maps has used impressively accurate satellite imagery tracing to detect the demolition and rebuild of a structure somewhere in Sudan, and can output a new polygon. No OSM mapper is setting foot in Sudan, and recent satellite imagery for the area is not available through companies that share such data for OSM use.

The issue for an OSM mapper who sees the conflict between OSM (with the old building) and Overture Maps (with the new building) is they don't have any information to know which result is accurate. Is OSM just out of date? Has Overture Maps produced the result from outdated satellite imagery and OSM is more up-to-date? Is the result form Overture Maps the result of a mistake in an automated tracing algorithm?

Implicit promise. I know the TOS doesn't promise it - it never does, anywhere.
Still, there's an expectation that the account is yours, not a plaything for the owner's whims. And there's an expectation that "for any or no reason" means something more than no reason.

And, yeah, "a verbal promise is worth the paper it's written on" (that is, none). And this wasn't even a verbal promise. Still, I maintain that the expectation really exists, and that companies like exTwitter are perfectly well aware that it exists. That's why doing this is a jerk move.

They do.
So you're upset about that decision. Fair enough! I can't think of any regulatory agency that hasn't made a decision I thought was terrible at some point or another.

But that doesn't mean that what they do, big picture, is pointless.
It's intriguing to hear how you connected this phenomenon to under-stimulation, where your social reclusiveness and lack of engaging activities at school may have led your brain to compensate by creating vivid imaginary scenarios and people.

Daydreaming, to some extent, is a natural and common human experience, and it can serve various functions, such as providing an escape from the mundane or offering a way to process emotions and desires. Your account sheds light on how changes in our environment and daily life can impact the frequency and intensity of daydreaming.
You may be right that it's a distraction, but man you are shoehorning this into your preconceptions. UFOs are a generally interesting topic, long before any of:

>If you had to take a guess why theyre pitching wild this year between the hunter biden witch hunt and aliens, chances are good its because their scorched earth policies on sex, gender, and womens health are widely viewed as incredibly unpopular and a single legislator in their party --Tommy Tuberville-- has been outed as stonewalling more than 230 military promotions in order to push, surprise, more LGBTQ+ culture war.
We also call this idea "continuous native generation". So glad to hear it is working well for you!
seems neat, but: how often do you launch a program that defaults to having a teeny-tiny window, like shown here?
OpenStreetMap is community of people creating fully open map database. From roads, shops and rivers to tourism attractions, hiking routes and hospitals, with all kind of detail. Anyone can contribute (and as someone quite involved in OSM: if you want to map something, especially area near you: you are welcome!).

Overture is a new group of companies releasing some datasets on open licenses, but methods used to create them remain proprietary. Some of released data is theirs, many datasets are repackaged OpenStreetMap data.
My concern here is that if these testimonies can’t be linked to evidence, the entire subject will be once again be discredited, goodwill from legislators will evaporate and the status quo will remain - that being UAPs being genuine alien devices or no.

The part that never adds up to me is the complete lack of concrete evidence in the open (when there is ubiquitous technology for detection in the hands of the public), or the implied astonishing competence of governments and agencies cooperating internationally to keep alien intelligence hidden. We couldn't prevent a pandemic, have lost nuclear weapons and are watching the planet die due to carbon emissions… yet somehow the alien-intelligence-suppression-network works?

> You get small piece of debris on a camera moving at mach 1 and it's going to look like something is moving at mach 1 with you, and somehow magically keeping up in strange ways before "zooming off" when it falls off the camera.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but the testimonies provided under oath today do not match your description of a piece of debris on a camera/sensor. If you have not already watched the hearing I would recommend it.

> MANY of these supposed UFO sightings boil down to such situations, and techs have verified that multiple times, but that gets ignored.

Source(s)? I would love to read more about techs who have talked about these events.

I don't think humans have had contact with extra terrestrials yet. This is just conspiracies fuelling debates.
Pretty much.

My tastes have changed during adulthood - I've very much expanded tastes. Less rap, less grunge, more jazz and alternative metal. I like folks using traditional instruments in modern music (some metal is good for that) and I like folks mixing genres (electroswing, for instance). I try for more recent music (last 10 years or something), but I'll listen to whatever I find interesting. After all, there is a good deal of music that just wasn't available to me 15 to 25 years ago that is easy to find now.
extraordinary claims…

far, far more likely UFOs/UAPs are an elaborate psyop than an advanced civilization that has figured out how to make it here but not figured out how not to crash.
There is a great poem call "If" by Rudyard Kipling. I feel it defines pretty well the traits of a happy person.
I think aliens exist, just not on earth. There's too much out there for this not to be true.

Our first encounter with extraterrestrial life will probably be microbes, exciting but not exactly little green men from X-Files.
CPI is a terribly gamed metric. Due to hedonic adjustment and poor weighting it’s not really clear it tracks well to anything. That is to say that the detailed level inputs are really good but the end product is manipulated.
I agree. But there are a lot of places in the US that check 90% of those boxes at a fraction of the cost of the Bay Area. There are a lot of great second-tier cities that are very welcoming to people of color.

Were they so adversely affected? Doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny. Why is south Africa which was the most heavily colonized part of Africa not any worse off than Ethiopia which wasn't colonized? Why are the different countries in south America so different economically today even though they were mostly colonized by the same regime?

Also take Ireland, which is now richer than it's colonizer.
I see damage control has started to appear...

The frog boils very slowly.

This from an industry that broke a zillion scripts as part of renaming git master to git main on the basis that the first name is somehow hateful.

That was the actions of a small group of extremists, and there was widespread opposition to it too.

Spinning the opposition as "hate" seems rather popular these days, and it's not wrong: We hate what Big Tech has done and is continuing to do to our freedoms and it's about time we released all of our rage on our oppressors.
Ignoring the problem of convincing legal team that linker license doesn't affect it's output, there is the problem of including the linker in prepackaged toolchains - like the ones part of Visual Studio, Xcode, Android studio or embedded toolchains provided by hardware vendors. In some of those cases you might still get away with AGPL, but it will require putting in some effort to comply with license since in those cases the linker itself is redistributed. It's no secret that Apple is avoiding GPL as much as they can, with many of commandline tools they provide either being BSD versions or very old GPL2 versions.

> AGPL would only restrict deploying a privately modified linker via a network service which isn't a realistic scenario for a basic dev tool.

Interacting with linker over network service may sound weird, but it's not that uncommon. For example Unity offers Cloud build service for their engine which means indirectly interacting with Android and iOS toolchains. All major cloud providers are making solutions where the development tools and libraries are tightly integrated with their cloud service in attempts to make it harder migrating your project away from them. Regular CI/CD service providers are including the most popular development tools in their default environment, both to simplify the development process and also so that they can better cache them thus saving network costs and speeding up builds compared to each customer downloading the toolchain manually. There was also a period where multiple companies where pushing a remote dev environment as a solution to minimize the hassle of having each developer setup things locally thus improving onboarding speed, ensuring everyone is working in the same environment and also simplifying work for company wide IT management.

In many of those cases there might be 2 or even 3 companies repackaging and redistributing between the original software (linker) author and final user (programmer).

Even in the land of open source things aren't that simple. Not sure if it's still a thing but there was a period when FreeBSD was trying to remove GPL from it's base packages.
I find it perplexing that some people can accept the 2-million-year recovery time for coral reefs, yet outraged due to Chernobyl's 24,110-year recovery [1]. If we had switched to nuclear we would be in much better shape.

Another fun conspiracy theory.

The BLS actually publishes a CPI analysis based on a consistent series without adjustments called R-CPI-U-RS. The difference between CPI-U and R-CPI-U-RS is like 0.8% IIRC [1].

By all means, prove yourself wrong. You can dig up some old newspaper ads from the 70s. None of this is something you can't calculate at home.

> That is to say that the detailed level inputs are really good but the end product is manipulated.

All the details, data and weightings are published. Are there some you specifically disagree with?

Wrong. For one, solidarity strikes are extremely illegal in the US, which neuters the ability of working people to affect their own political circumstances. Also, the US congress is always prepared to wage violence to end a strike. However, in the case of an actor strike rather than a railroad strike, they should be expected to support the studios' ability to wait out the strike instead.

Mostly that right now is a very interesting time for Grusch to claim that US government rules on document classification are inviolable, even when the stakes would be proving human contact with extraterrestrials.
Complexity left to right may have gone down, but top to bottom has gone up. In a DAW people add way more tracks than ever and add all kinds of detail/texture/layers the weren't possible before so yeah, people search out the new and novel to experiment/have fun with. That happens all the time in music. No one used distorted electric guitars in music then all of the sudden music was over saturated in it. Just because you might not understand/recognize the current complexity doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Your ideal is a great one, it's not really how things work in reality.

The issue is not one of public opinion, which is largely irrelevant and trivially reshaped - it's about pissing off the political establishment. Masking was never particularly taboo and the official position itself flip-flopped and was relatively open to constructive dialogue. But the lab leak was extremely taboo because this was at a time when the US still adamant that a lab leak was impossible, probably because we were actively involved in it. So you're pissing off the US political establishment, to say nothing of China. Oh, and the guy who's trying to decide whether or not to finalize the multi million dollar grant he's about to send you.

Especially (and unfortunately) in academia, you just don't get far without knowing how to play these stupid and ultimately socially destructive games.
Unfortunately, there was no revealing testimony or subpoenas. If they're serious about getting to the truth about UFOs, let's see them bring in the leads of the Pentagon and force them to testify. But they aren't serious. It's a joke of a hearing.

There are so many serious people saying basically the same things for years - at a great cost for their careers, that it would be really surprising that there’s really nothing.
