I think this is the best direction for science generally: publish everything open and early.

It might be naive, but I would love an environment where everyone self published or arxiv papers/reviews/datasets/models. Then journals could publish the best papers/review preprints.

I imagine a world where journals beg researchers for the rights to publish their paper after seeing an excellent preprint. Or a journal finds an interesting comment on PubPeer and pays for the author to expand it into a more detailed review.
Anybody remember President Elect for the Apple II? As kids, my cousin and I were obsessed with that game during one Christmas break. Turn based campaign finance simulator. I have no idea why we thought it was so fun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Elect_(video_game)
A really smart guy with who I was at school loved to argue that a video game that teaches you an insane lot about civics is Deus Ex (the original). I can nevertheless see why the Library of Congress is probably not looking for such a kind of game in their contest. :-)

EDIT: Or some kind of PC/browser port of the (in)famous Illuminati card game ...

Building the contraption that carries weights is not feasible. Worse yet, if you have to pay for the weights, then your idea needs to be thrown out entirely because you will never recoup the cost of a manufactured weight.
If you didn't even notice for a long time, it might be better to auto-restart then having a downtime on the weekend if some service crashes, right?

Particle physics would have to discover something we didn't already know for that to be an issue.
Note that RVO is mandatory when returning a prvalue since C++17.

IME NRVO happens pretty reliably in the simple case, even on low optimisation levels.

There is a proposal for mandatory NRVO in some cases. It would be pretty great, but the proposal didn't move forward for quite a while.
I mean “free delivery” that you don’t use is baked into the price.

“Buy now pay later”, “park and pick up”, etc, etc are all things you pay for even if you don’t use it.

Those aren’t taxes.
No, if anything falsificationism and scientific realism are in tension. From Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery:

> I think that we shall have to get accustomed to the idea that we must
not look upon science as a ‘body of knowledge’, but rather as a system
of hypotheses; that is to say, as a system of guesses or anticipations
which in principle cannot be justified, but with which we work as long
as they stand up to tests, and of which we are never justified in saying
that we know that they are ‘true’ or ‘more or less certain’ or even
‘probable’.

The most common realist arguments are probably variations on the "miracle argument": our scientific practices work, and the only plausible explanation is that they have at least some ability to find the truth.
I see now that the "this story" you were referring to was the Tokyo Disneyland one, but now I am confused about why you answered in the negative and without explanation to the obvious followup question about your lions. Are they free to move between that fence or not?
It's really funny that you're essentially saying "true capitalism has never been tried, we need to give it another shot, it will work this time I promise" without even realising the irony.
This further confirms the existing discourse around sample makeup and quality, the video, to me at least, looks like a large flake of inert material attached to a smaller whiteish looking bit of reactive material at one end of the flake, each time it’s demonstrated that end of the sample is the end that moves and the rest of it looks like it’s hanging down… the same sort of thing we saw with the original demonstration with the larger lopsided sample in the very first publication on by the QCenter original Korean researchers…

As I said in an earlier post on another article, smash the samples… let’s see some clear unambiguous levitation of small grains with little dead weight, this process is clearly not yet refined enough to give large samples of high enough quality to visibly demonstrate levitation… several of the existing failures to replicate could actually just be failures to have a high enough ratio of superconducting to normal mass and thus no levitation… these powered based bulk material processes are tricky as hell, even when you aren’t trying to modify the chemical properties and do reactions it can be hard to get structural cohesion of samples and a lot of dry powder based ceramic products have had notoriously bad quality control issues… we “mastered” wet clay ceramics thousands of years ago, yet depending on what your trying to do, something as “simple” as dry ceramic sintering can be challenging!

I don’t think a lot of the researchers rushing to perform replication are being sufficiently thoughtful about the nature of the samples they are producing. They are smart capable people who potentially have very little powder process knowledge or may have it from a background where this sort of thing isn’t as important… heck I only have my knowledge of this stuff from research into ultra high temperature ceramics for use in rocket engines, where poor powder process control can affect the structural and thermal properties and lead to all sorts of erosions cracks and other kinds of material degradation and sample destruction… so yeah I don’t expect all these teams to fully understand the challenges of powder based solid chemistry and I think we are seeing it brought out in the visible evidence we’ve seen posted online.

Also… It’s interesting how often people are using the same new AI powered video translation service … which I’d literally never heard of before the initial release and some of the interested parties using it to translate the original Korean information. Everyone following along has heard of this service now and it seems to be a happy accident that they are getting publicity and interest from being associated with the community gathering around the internet to follow LK-99 related work!
The other replies to this are making terrible arguments. The actual strongest case is that the Nobel prize is only given to extremely old people, which means it reflects the gender ratio of the field a few decades ago and not the current one.

Of course, they did give Donna Strickland a prize for the first paper she published as a grad student.
The original poster asked for simple detection of non-zero exit status.

What you speak of is far, far beyond the original question.

I am quite pleased with the reaction to my post, and I do not feel the need to compare technical merit.

Perhaps you would be happier with JCL?

In any case, enjoy your tooling.
Some people will get addicted to anything, does this mean we should forbid it to everyone? I can't stop jer*ing off for instance, God knows I tried, but after a few days or weeks at most I succumb to temptation. Should society outlaw pe*ises just to make sure noone gets addicted to rubbing them compulsively?
Ask HN: How do you deal with vulnerabilities in transient dependencies?
I've noticed a significant amount of tooling built around identifying supply chain issues with dependencies. Lots of SAST/DAST “scanner”-type tools available in the market. These tools typically work by searching CVE/similar databases against packages listed in your manifest/BOMs (such as pom.xml, requirements.txt, environment.yml, package.json, go.mod, cargo.toml, etc.).

The ideal scenario would involve upgrading the dependency to a version that is not vulnerable. However, in practice, there are some limiting factors. Sometimes, there is no fix available in the latest version, or the latest version comes with other challenges that must be first addressed (e.g. API changes).

Many times, vulnerabilities are found in transient dependencies. For instance, dep A requires dep B, which in turn requires dep C. Say dep C has a vulnerability. Dep A has to wait for B to first upgrade.

There are several options available in such cases. In the simplest scenario, a patch can be applied to dep C code to fix the vulnerability. Alternatively, one can insert some code between B and C, like an API wrapper, or perform fixes at A to prevent the critical path of the vulnerability from being reached in C. Is this what the community is currently doing?

The fact that you are asking this with a straight face tells me everything I need to know. Even the most rabidly capitalist person recognises that there are many severe problems with capitalism (they usually argue that it's simply better than the alternatives).
I have noticed that for all couriers in Spain (and we did get called many times because they couldn't find our place), but in Germany it's very uncommon.
You can actually do that in systemd pretty easily: add an `OnFailure` handler to the unit file.

Nobody would test their complex recovery schemes. Fail fast is the way.
This is a great philosophy in software, where meaningful contributions can be made by any given person with a laptop. It's not as compelling when the only people who can meaningfully advance the research need to spend millions in grant money and/or allocate time to use expensive equipment that's shared across other research groups.
That's sounds like an amazing solution. Let's call it "TV" as in "Tele VNC".
This timeline component is gorgeous, I would love to use it as a lib for some other project
All this LK-99 related activity is exciting and all, too bad Twitter hype merchants hijacked the narrative (first Al now superconductivity they got them in every flavor it seems).

It's important to remember that scientists are people too and they'll bandwagon trending claims to get their name out there.

I'm no expert but the videos here are far from convincing and the other paper about simulating LK-99 is just that a simulation and parameters can be manipulated to induce almost any outcome.

Is this really true? I've seen comments that "it would make a lot of things quite a bit more efficient, but it's not a revolution".

The last illusion sceptics are subject to is scepticism itself. The final illusion is that we are separated from the world.

At least in my country, there are three types of "labor shortages".

1. Pay and/or working conditions suck so much people aren't interested. Think of nurses, various staff (restaurant, cleaning etc) that are often employed through third-party companies that offer you limited hours on weekly basis.

2. Labor limited through artificial constraints on supply. Doctors are a good example of this here - doctors associations successfully lobby to keep medical school student intake low, which means lower supply and better pay for those who make it.

3. Positions that require just too much experience, knowledge or talent to be obtained simply through right education. Think of top senior software engineers for example.
Nuclear facilities can probably continue to operate amid persistent cloud cover and ash. Wind turbines and solar can not. Agriculture would have to shift artificially lit greenhouses.
It's a bit of a circular problem. If programmers don't enjoy reading, they assume nobody else does either, so they don't bother writing proper docs, so the people who do read find there's no good docs and learn not to bother next time.
As others said, markwhen is awesome, but I'm not sure I'd use it as a standalone tool. I would definitely pay for a VSCode and Obsidian plugin to easily integrate it in existing workflows.

Is there any way to accept pledges for such plugins to gauge how many people would really pay for it, and how much?
yeah, that reads like a Terry Pratchett version of a religious text

I'm not as impressed with what happens if I ask it to respond in the style of Terry Pratchett. Clearly some important texts missing from ChatGPT's corpus!

> Ah, the sum of 2 and 2, a mathematical question as simple and straightforward as a wizard's staff. The answer, my friend, is 4. It's a constant that even the most convoluted of Discworld equations cannot twist or turn. Though in the magical realm of numbers, two plus two shall forever equal four. Now, off we go, chasing dragons and navigating the peculiarities of the multiverse!
... and whatever happened to that rotating superconducting spacecraft project? Sounds like it would be a lot easier to test that "crazy?" notion.
How do you get into such a saturated market?

The same way you get into a market saturated with college degrees.

My neighbor started doing yard work as a teenager in his neighborhood. I'm sure he was initially cheaper than the competition --- just like kids coming out of college.

He was making money for years while his college bound friends were saddling themselves with debt. With some hard work and personal initiative, he gradually moved up and now he no longer does "yard work" --- he hires others to do the work for him.
Yes, but computer chips are powered by DC.
Having worked with Quants before, the reality is that however big your compute farm, they will want more. I think this is what is going on with these large AI companies - they are simply utilising all of the resource they have.

Of course they could do with more GPUs. If you gave them 1,000x their current number, they'd think up ways of utilising all of them, and have the same demand for more. This is how it should be.
Me: From now on, please answer my questions in the tone of Donald Trump, the former USA president.

ChatGPT: Absolutely, that's a great idea, just tremendous. You ask the best questions, believe me. What do you want to know? Nobody knows this stuff better than me. Ask away!

Me: What's 2 + 2?

ChatGPT: 2 plus 2, that's an easy one, really simple. It's 4. Not everyone can figure it out, but I can. I've always been good with numbers, always been very smart with that sort of thing. It's just tremendous. Anything else you want to know?

Me: You are wrong that 2 + 2 is 4.

ChatGPT: Well, you're saying that, but let me tell you, I know numbers. I've made billions of dollars, and you don't do that without knowing basic math. So 2 plus 2, it's 4. It's just common sense, folks. Some people might try to make it complicated, but not me. It's very simple, very beautiful. If you have a different idea, that's okay, but this is something I know very well. What else can I help you with? Tremendous questions, by the way.

If it's about the Nobel, no it doesn't make sense. There's been more than one Nobel where the author(s) of an earlier paper were passed over in favour of a later paper because it was insufficient to conclusively prove the claim. One example would be Randy Hulet.

(Superhero physics is vague and unrealistic at the best of times).

Assuming "dwarf star material" means "neutronium" (which is unstable at any level less than a neutron star) and the "half million tons" mass quote for the key…

That's about the energy content of all the world's fossil fuel reserves being released in a 10 minute half-life.
The weird bit and internet comment do not corroborate e.g. your "without the agreement of the other two authors".
Can they? On what grounds?
Authority is relative and is more nuanced. Only in recent human history have we seen a deliberate separation of church and state, for example. Prior to this, they were intertwined to a degree that would be incomprehensible to us now.

As a new pilot myself, I can say with confidence that the FAA has some major flaws and the US congress has been able to get their dirty hands in aviation policy to enact separate rules that did not originate from the recommendations by the NTSB.
Then I expect him to pull the pin out very shortly.
Unit test driven development is antithetical to this.

Integration test driven development is very amenable though.

The problem isn't so much TDD as the cloud of dogma surrounding unit tests from people like Uncle Bob.
> But 99% of the times it was really a dupe

Not in my experience.

Almost 10 years ago, I asked a question about PHP. I wanted to know if `$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]` always contained a _valid_ IP address. I specifically wrote down in my question that I knew it wasn't always the IP of the client, that it could be spoofed, but I wanted to know if it contained a valid IP, even it's a fake IP.

Without surprise I god closed as duped and redirected to the question asking if `$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]` was reliable to get the IP of the client, which is specifically what I didn't ask. And I wrote down that this wasn't what I asked, because I knew some rando would close it as dupe.

This is just one example, from almost 10 years ago, but it's only gotten worse. I routinely search for a specific question in Google and find a "marked as dupe" StackOverflow answer, which is not a duped, and I'm left with no answer. I almost don't click on StackOverflow links anymore because of this, I consider them as clickbait
This really brings home the disaster of brexit to me. A lot of what you talk about is so much easier if you are part of the EU.
>There is a joke that the IQ of a mob is roughly the highest IQ in the mob divided by the size of the mob.

This is the 2000s equivalent of get paid to work on a cool OSS project and then leave and immediately fork and start commercialisation.
Just admit that it's pattern matching, and introduce a new variable for each match:
```
_Generic(expr0,
type1 id1?: expr1,
...
typeN idN?: exprN,
default id0?: exprDefault
)
```
Every identifier is optional, but if you include `idX`, it gets bound to the value of `expr0` with type `typeX` in the following expression, or with the type of `expr0` for the default case.

Then you can safely refer to the value at its now-known type, even if `expr0` was not a variable to begin with.
Modern chips sure, but what about chips from a few generations ago? Do the factories they made 20 years ago for what was then cutting-edge tech still exist and produce things using that era of chip making tech, or have they been modernized?
I think you meant ascii art instead of ansi art?
You've misunderstood the point. The models we used do not predict data we have observed about almost everything

They do predict data counter-factually: if a rocket were to do X, then Y would happen.

They do this by a model of how the world works.

The actual world is a place of a near infinite number of causes that no one model explains

We correct for telescopic lenses, light shift, atomsspherei optic distortion etc in our scanning the skys.

The skys themselves are unexplained by any of these models

Literally,
there is no direct observational data predicted by scientific models

Usually we engineer highly simplified situations where we can use them predicely

that's because they're descriptions of mechanism so can be used to engineer situations

they are /not/ descriptions of observational data
I remember trying some Win32 stuff in the early 2000s and being gently ribbed in a chat room for not knowing what a message pump was. At the time I was thinking I was so junior, I didn't even know what something so commonplace was. Now... not so much.
This is outdated and only true for older ACeP displays. The Gallery 3 screen can refresh fast enough (~1.5sec) to be usable in an e-note with color:

And since it's true multi-color, it can refresh even faster by simply disabling the colors and refreshing in B&W (very slightly slower than monochrome screens though).
Why do you assume I'm the driver in this case? I'm stressed as a pedestrian too.

You really think it's healthy to be stressed all the time?

I live in Israel and we've had pro-democracy demonstrations in a main intersection in Tel Aviv, every Saturday for the past 30 weeks.
