> The usual way for VC backed companies to fail is they either get sold for pennies on the dollar to PE or a competitor, or they wind down, fire their employees, shut down their cloud instances and either become little restaurants on the web, zombies or simply cease to be.

So if you get a loan and fail, and the business isn't worth taking over by the creditors to operate or sell, you wind down, fire employees, shut down the cloud instances, sell off the furniture. If The VC's investment terms allow for a clawback of capital, the exact same thing happens but we don't call it a bankruptcy, they just don't lose their full investment and the bankruptcy stats look great.

>The same is true for healthcare generally in my experience. Very bad advice is often given.

I have seen this in my personal life time and again. I have seen it in my professional life time and again.

The only way though the mine field is to take personal ownership over your Healthcare, you need to learn more about what ailes you than the doctors know. You need to be confident in this knowledge enough to challenge them and walk out to receive better care at any moment. This is why people say that healthcare us such a trap in the US particularly. If you are injured and incapacitated you can't advocate for yourself, and if you don't have the support infrastructure in place in your personal life we are just one medical event away from financial and physical ruin.

Looks like "black bar" instances go back to at least 2009 which is fairly close to the beginning.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=644954

FWIW, one thing you might consider doing if you ever want to do more work on your script, is search for "black bar" in the search index. Two very common patterns we see are people asking "why is there a black bar" as a submission, and/or comments asking "can we get the black bar for <person>?" on the main story about a death. Of course the "can we get the black bar" thing is occasionally asked without the black bar actually being done, so it's not a perfect signal but it might help somewhat.
Thanks, that seems doable!

4 people in my friend group have been rearranging their schedules this weekend to get more BG3 time (after previously planning on playing once a week). It's possible that a DOS3 might've had that happening, at least 2 of the 4 played DOS2 but I am skeptical.

They all have preexisting affection for both D&D and BG. They went into character creation with strong opinions about their favorite races and esp. classes.
I remember showing someone raw video of a Safire plasma chamber keeping the ball of plasma lit for several minutes. They said they would need to see a peer reviewed paper. The presumption brought about by the enlightenment era that everyone should get a vote was a mistake.

From the article, that is what Mozilla is funding:

Mckensie Mack is a public speaker who regularly discusses her anger at “White Colonialism” and her dislike of “CIS” men and women.

That founder, Neil Lewis Jr., appears to have focused his career on “vaccine acceptance”, problems with “white” people, and his theory that “white people” can not be victims of discrimination.

They provide links to back these claims up. It's not what you'd expect from a browser company.
They've also done a great job marketing it. I've seen ads and references to it in places that normally wouldn't cover RPGs.

Are there any companies continuously making widely different critically acclaimed games? or do they typically have a hit and then make games in the same vein? Bioware had a certain take on RPGs, same with Bethesda's modern Fallout/Elder Scrolls, FromSoft make DS derivatives, etc.

If I'm missing some studio which has a diverse catalogue of consistently successful games, then please tell me which. But I feel they usually find a niche and then work that.
Come on... nobody has even started talking seriously about it yet. You'd surely hear about it if it were being worked on.

Yes. Have a look at the StackOverflow tag, Flutter hashtag on X, GitHub projects, the Youtube Flutter Channel (which has a lot of videos, with a lot of views)... it's evidently used by a lot of people, but beware it's almost all due to Flutter.
I just recently got a response from chatGPT that made me speechless. I have a very specific function in my code, with a very specific name. Just some days ago I asked it to produce a function with similar functionality. It used that function's name. I couldn't believe it. I even have disabled chat history & training so I'm not sure if that was an incredibly big coincidence or they really re-used my data.

For a while Reddit had the mantra “pics or it didn’t happen”.

At least in CS/ML there needs to be a “code or it didn’t happen”. Why? Papers are ambiguous. Even if they have mathematical formulas, not all components are defined.

Find a dentist that'll actually do x-rays and show you the cavity on them. Mine does that. The cavities show pretty relatively easily on x-rays because the tooth density is compromised.

If you are in pain, they either damaged the nerve which is bad as that could require a root canal eventually. Or they failed to clean out the cavity and it's infected. Either way, you should experiment with finding a dentist, perhaps go in for a cleaning every 6 months to check a dentist out.

At not point are you obligated to do a cavity filling unless you are comfortable with it. Just decline any additional services beyond the cleaning.
Where do you get the most trustworthy or realistic dental diagnosis and advice? Dental schools?

> the actual construction speed for these projects is amazing!

Yes, from start to finish in well under a year in some locations depending on whether or not they can set up a nice pipeline and start producing as soon as one of the turbines is completed. The time consuming parts: permitting, infrastructural changes to the grid, environmental assessments + possible delays, foundation work. Once the foundation is in the ground I've seen operational turbines six weeks later.

For a whole windpark from start to finish the times vary from two to eight years, with off-shore the longer part of that. There is a new option called a floating windfarm, which is self evident from the name, that cuts deployment time to an absolute minimum but has some long term risks and maintenance pros and cons. Still, it is a very interesting development.
Apple runs the Internet's defacto index of podcasts, due to iTunes popularizing podcasting, and provides an API that many/most podcast applications use to find podcasts. When they delist a podcast from their index, it's like Google delisting a website from their index.

You can see that the feed is no longer in their index: https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=Что+случилось&media=pod...
I assume that the goal here is to reduce the number of not-actually-valid results that get published. Not-actually-valid results happen for lots of reasons (whoops did experiment wrong, mystery impurity, cherry picked data, not enough subjects, straight-up lie, full verification expensive and time consuming but this looks promising) but often there's a common set of incentives: you must publish to get tenure/keep your job, you often need to publish in journals with high impact factor [1].

High impact journals [6] tend to prefer exciting, novel, and positive results (we tried new thing and it worked so well!) vs negative results (we mixed up a bunch of crystals and absolutely none of them are room-temp superconductors! we're sure of it!).

The result is that cherry picking data pays, leaning into confirmation bias pays, publishing replication studies and rigorous but negative results is not a good use of your academic inertia.

I think that creating a new category of rigor (i.e. journals that only publish independently replicated results) is not a bad idea, but: who's gonna pay for that? If the incentive is you get your name on the paper, doesn't that incentivize coming up with a positive result? How do you incentivize negative replications? What if there is only one gigantic machine anywhere that can find those results (LHC, icecube, etc, a very expensive spaceship)?

There might be easier and cheaper pathways to reducing bad papers - incentivizing the publishing of negative results and replication studies separately, paying reviewers for their time, coming up with new metrics for researchers that prioritize different kinds of activity (currently "how much you're cited" and "number of papers*journal impact" things are common, maybe a "how many results got replicated" score would be cool to roll into "do you get tenure"? See [3] for more details). PLoS publish.

I really like OP's other article about a hypothetical "Journal of One Try" (JOOT) [2] to enable publishing of not-very-rigorous-but-maybe-useful-to-somebody results. If you go back and read OLD OLD editions of Philosophical Transactions (which goes back to the 1600's!! great time, highly recommend [4], in many ways the archetype for all academic journals), there are a ton of wacky submissions that are just little observations, small experiments, and I think something like that (JOOT let's say) tuned up for the modern era would, if nothing else, make science more fun. Here's a great one about reports of "Shining Beef" (literally beef that is glowing I guess?) enjoy [5]

I switched a while ago to DDG and about a year ago to Startpage and both are good enough.

For your analogy on car accidents - a notable difference between both is that in the case of car accidents, we are able to get numbers on when, how and why they happen and then make conclusions from that.

In this case, we are not even aware of most events of fraud/"bad papers"/manipulation - the "crisis" is that we are losing faith in the science we are doing - results that were cornerstones of entire fields are found to be nonreproducible, making all the work built on top of it pointless.(psychology, cancer, economics, etc - I'm being very broad)

At this point, we don't know how deep the rot goes. We are at the point of recognizing that it's real, and looking for solutions. For car accidents, we're past that - we're just arguing about what are the best solutions. For the replication crisis, we're trying to find a way forward.

Like that scene in The Thing, where they test the blood? We're at the point where we don't know who to trust.

Ps: what's a tfa?
I think the general issue on cooking is similar to shopping, exercise, or "work" for some folks. Some have an interpretation of exercise = fun or pleasure. Some, like me, have a body that treats all exercise as the most dreadful idea ever, and even walking up a hill after years of walking up hills is an excuse for waves of fatigue. Endless little voices scream in misery with every step. You end up in a state of "how do I do this because I need to?" It's either lie down at the bottom of the hill because my body has immediately decided it wants to go to sleep with false exhaustion, or walk up the hill.

Eating can be close. Eat because my body makes complaints, otherwise would not even bother. Not even restaurants. More time, and food is often not very satisfying. The actual food made, whether its fresh, microwaved, ect.. does not matter, because my body has decided it no longer wants to enjoy food. I used to think the variation experimentation part was nice, until my body decided it was a mini game to eliminate that. I almost question the "Food you can make so you don't die."
Street Fighter 6 literally gave players something they've been dreaming about for years: the ability to customize a character to one's own liking based off of the moves of the existing characters in the game.

There's plenty of citations available at a quick search.

I've worked primarily remotely for north of 10-15 years and love it. But it isn't 100% effective or the best choice for every situation and continuously.

Especially for people at the start of a career or position. Lots of meaningful mentoring and coaching that can't be measured or limited to text chat or video calls.

As someone who mentors their fair share of juniors starting out in software and product development, meeting my mentees in person after mentoring them during the lock downs did not compare.

Mostly, the smiles, the genuine happiness for the success and learning that has been happening, and most of all knowing there's openness to talk about what's next and a challenge to learn.

The very starts of projects and startups can often be much cleaner and faster in person, until you don't need to be.

I understand and also don't like commutes. There's also no shortage of people who report the value of getting out of the house and seeing things differently

Beginners often onboard much easier in person, and quicker to be productive and feel like valued members of the team. Understanding and designing new things, for example is one. Discovery or design sprints can be another.

There is a good amount of merit for hybrid work and teams for producing results faster that can create profitabilty quicker, and pay those raises quicker.

Who says that just because it's nondeterministic, it's acausal? Gravity clearly causes it to leave its state of rest. At literally every moment that it has a non-zero acceleration, it has a non-zero net force due to gravity (and the normal force). There is no instant at all where we can say Newton's laws were violated. At t=T the particle has zero net force and is at rest. For every e greater than 0, at t=T+e the particle has net force and is accelerating.

NFL isn't quite redundant since many people understand it to define an inertial frame. So if you observe F = 0 but x'' != 0 then you know you're not in an inertial frame.

Upper management, really.

I dislike bad management as much as the next guy, but bad management feels more like a symptom of a poorly run company. If the executive strategy insists on maximizing value and driving employees to the brink 24/7, then managers will make that happen. It's like the whole "good soldier" question; do they obey or do the right thing?

Most "good managers" that want to keep their job will act as interpreters for whatever their higher-ups tell them. C-suites barely know what they want, and engineers barely know what to do. Maybe I've been sold a bill of goods by my previous managers, but many of them have pulled their weight just fine.

You can make omelets (most simply--there are also frittatas and the like) with just eggs plus whatever cut up. Normally I wouldn't used canned goods--though I suppose I could use canned sardines/small shrimp/etc. or various canned mexican and asian vegetables. Both bacon and grated cheese keep a long time in the fridge and there are various things you could freeze in small batches including vegetables out of the supermarket freezer section. An omelet is one of my lazy go tos when I don't have anything else really ready to go.

>>I believe in listening to experts (but ultimately making an informed decision).

The problem for the most part in all industries is we have moved from a system of experts to a system of credentials. Now one would say that in order to get a credential in something one must be an "expert" but this is far far from the truth, there are all kinds of competing incentives to ensure an ever increasing supply of "credentialed" professionals that have nothing to do with validation of their expertise in a given field or subject.

It does not matter if it something like an electrician, or brain surgeon, from teaching, to physics, and everything in between including medicine, we favor credentials now not expertise

Largely the consumer public simply looks to see if this person as the correct credential. license, etc for the given job... Consumers often lack the resources, information, or decisions tree in most instances to look for any indicators of actual knowledge in the field beyond that credential
