Imagine two scientists, Bob and Alice. Bob has spent the last 5 years examining a theory thoroughly. Now he can explain down to the last detail why the theory does not hold water, and why generations of researchers have been wrong about the issue. Unfortunately, he cannot offer an alternative, and nobody else can follow his long winded arguments anyway.

Meanwhile, Alice has spent the last 5 years making the best possible use of the flawed theory, and published a lot of original research. Sure, many of her publications are rubbish, but a few contain interesting results. Contrary to Bob, Alice can show actual results and has publications.

Who do you believe will remain in academia? And, according to public perception, will seem more like an actual scientist?
It's a good point; MOND isn't relativistic. It is just an effective model of galactic rotation.

A question for me is how dark matter theories can reproduce mondian dynamics naturally without each case requiring special tuning.

Or possibly there is a deeper theory of gravity that explains both mercury's precession and galactic rotation.
>News agencies have THEIR content posted on Facebook, giving it value, not the other way around.

> But the code in WIN87EM.DLL looks very much like the result of changes made in desperation until it worked somehow, even though the changes made little or no sense.

This is how the characters in Coding Machines realized something was up, assembly instructions involving carry bits that made no sense, that they later realized was how an AI writes code: https://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/coding-machines/

> It took us the rest of the afternoon to pick through the convoluted jump targets and decode four consecutive instructions. That snippet, it turns out, was finding the sign of an integer. Anyone else would have done a simple comparison and a jump to set the output register to -1, 0, or 1, but the four instructions were a mess of instructions that all either set the carry bit as a side-effect, or used it in an unorthodox way.

If you want to make something for fun, or you're doing embedded, it's a fine choice.

But if you're making the default "GUI for CRUD" style app and you use Rust: You either really really hate your employer, or you're in it for the fun more than you realize.

The amount of prior art and resources you're just tossing in the dumpster is insane. Take mobile: For a real product are you going to go and re-implement years of accessibility and internationalization, re-implement platform standard UI paradigms, and god knows what else just to be able to use a specialized framework in more niche language?

Combine that with the fact that hiring for Rust is going to be massively more expensive and painful than any default and you'll be at the point where you probably could have hired teams to do each platform natively.
Read a pretty dishartening article recently, about how offshore turbines reduce water oxygenation, and in turn probably have a negative effect on sea life. I guess there really is no free lunch.
"Serverless" is a jargon term, with a specific meaning — basically "all state is canonically durable in some external system, usually one rooted in a SAN-based managed object store like S3; there are no servers that keep durable state that must be managed, only object-store bills to pay and spot instances temporarily spun up to fetch and process the canonically-at-rest state."

(This kind of architecture is actually "serverless", but in a possibly-arcane sense to someone who doesn't admin these sorts of systems: it's "serverless" in that your QoS isn't bounded by any "scaling factor" proportional to some number of running servers. You don't have to think about how many "servers" — or "instances" or "pods" or "containers" or whatever-else — you have running. Especially, as a customer of a "serverless" SaaS, you will only get billed for the workloads you actually run, rather than for the underlying SaaS-backend-side servers that are being temporarily reserved to run those workloads.)

Snowflake and BigQuery are examples of serverless data warehouse systems. You do a query; servers get reserved from a pool (or spun up if the pool is empty); those servers stream your at-rest data from its canonically-at-rest storage form to answer your query.

In a serverless data warehouse, as long as you still have the same server spun up and serving your queries, it'll have the data it streamed to serve your previous queries in its local disk and memory caches, making further queries on the same data "hot." The more local scratch NVMe you give these instances, the more stuff they can keep "hot" in a session to accelerate follow-on queries or looping-over-the-dataset subqueries.

Looks great, but before it's too late I want to point out this is how the web looked like until about 1996 or 1998 at the latest maybe. After that, and even before CSS was fully available in browsers [1], image tiling was everywhere ie misusing the table element with image backgrounds. Tools such as DreamWeaver had this built in and it was a major selling point I believe.

Depends what you mean by "fail". The MBA is going to be perfectly happy with a profit margin even if the metacritic score is well within the yellow range. Plenty of rehashed sports games and even beloved but ultimately fairly lazy franchises like Pokémon and Sonic (most recently ticking that open world.. er, excuse me, zone box) seem to do fairly well from that point of view.
Fantasy scenario: Voters actually notice such "defend any half-wit thuggery, so long as the perp's have badges" behavior by elected officials, and reliably punish offenders at the ballot box.

In theory, every voter who claims to be pro-women's rights, or pro-civil rights, or liberal, or ... should be eager to make this fantasy come true.

In practice... Hahahaha!!! Yeah, right.

So - why the huge gulf? Could it be that the great majority of voters claiming such moral cred are just Performative Activists, who don't actually give a crap?
I don't know how far that extends, particularly to individual consumers.
I feel like we ought to have progressive taxation on corporations: the larger you are, the more you get taxed. This would act as a general purpose biasing of the economy in favour of smaller companies and more competition.

I understand these CEOs might think this way (although I'm not sure if all do, and for sure most have a mix of different reasons), but there is a fault in this reasoning in the sense that working remotely is not in any way novel. I had been working in an international team delivering decent quality code for years that brought my company tons of money long before the pandemic. So you might say these CEOs are afraid of what is new for them, not in general.

Moreover, this line of reasoning completely ignores the influence of employee satisfaction on productivity. They had something they valued a lot, now you take it away. I witnessed it several times and every time CEOs did that, productivity plummeted significantly and people were starting to take photos for LinkedIn.

Ah, I see gotcha, thanks. Makes sense--I only vaguely remember what the Android SMS app landscape was like before I was forced to switch to Android Messages, but it felt like messages were stored in an external service/database. Like, my phone could be off, and I could use a web app to text. However, after reading your comment, I realize that may have been the case for me because I had Google Fi for a while.
People always default to whatever the new thing is being somewhat magical. Radiation as a medical cure all didn’t age particularly well, but it’s not like the same people are falling into the trap. It’s been common across many generations and cultures, I doubt it’s going to change any time soon.

Medical tourism is totally a thing, but it's harder when you don't know the other country's culture and/or language and can't tell a good doctor apart from a bad one.

It's a lot easier when you have family and referrals in the other country who can point you at a trusted source.

Just like most outsourcing, I suppose.
Why the whataboutism? They both have flaws. By iMessage blocking, you surely knew that I didn't mean just interoperability via SMS. If Apple adopted RCS or some other such standard, Android users and iPhone users could talk without having a degraded experience on either side. Apple executives literally admitted that not expanding iMessage ensured that people would continue to buy iPhones:

Sum types are still a poor error handling strategy compared to exceptions, which actually implement the most common error handling pattern automatically for you (add context and bubble up). Having the language treat errors as regular values fails to separate these fundamentally different paths through the code. It also makes the programmer re-implement the same code pattern over and over again.

This cost may be necessary in manual memory management languages, where the vast majority of functions have to do some cleanup. There, having multiple exit points from a function through exceptions (or through early return statements) makes it harder to make sure all resources are properly cleaned up (especially when the cleanup of one resource can itself throw an error).

But in managed memory languages, there's just no reason to manually re-implement this pattern, either through Go style regular values or through sum types. And note that the Result monad is not a good substitute for exceptions, as it doesn't actually add the necessary context of what the code was doing when it hit an error case.

Sure, but fortunately we have competition and as long as there are companies willing to hire remote workers, they will have a strong advantage over those who don't, and employees will have a choice.
It’s called “comfort noise,” and was an option in Lync/Skype for Business. A lot of users being switched from desk phones, especially older ones who still primarily used landlines at home, found themselves wondering if their conversation partner was still on the line without it.
Doesn't work by design, because of Final Offer Arbitration baked into the solution. FB and news cartel are expected to enter negotiations and at the end set their respective "final" best offers and government gets to choose one of them that will take effect. Everyone knows what will happen.

The only winning move is not to play.
I wouldn't say it's a scam, but yes it is in many cases just pre-paid expenses. If all you need is cleanings and periodic x-rays, it might end up a wash against the cost of premiums.

I recently went through a transition from employer-provided group dental insurance, to the basic Medicare Advantage dental offered through Kaiser, and had to pay out of pocket for some major work that couldn't wait (root canal). Since then I have found an affiliation-based group plan that costs a little more but results in much lower amounts charged by the dentist for non-routine work. The quality of the dentists in the network is much higher, in my limited experience.

I think you are thinking in terms of there were 'only two state wide catastrophic failures that took down entire grid and became national news so I remember them'.

We’re made to feel that work has an intrinsic moral value, no matter how (cont)
I have a good friend who is a hygienist for two dentists. One is completely inept and the other an outright scammer.

The inept guy generates business by doing such a poor job with fillings that crowns and root canals are always eventually needed. And he does such a poor job with those that bridges and implants are then needed. He's a master bullshitter and most patients trust him (a few catch on, and a few have sued). My friend keeps records for the lawsuits, covers her own butt, and discreetly encourages some patients to go elsewhere.

The fraudster puts everyone on "perio" schedules (cleanings every 3 months instead of 6) whether they need it or not. And also bills insurance for treatment he didn't do. His actual dental skills are decent, however.

We laypeople assume we can trust these "experts" with degrees and white coats when we really have no clue if what they're doing is legit.

Next time you get your teeth cleaned, ask the hygienist if they themselves (or their family -- kids, parents) use the dentist you're about to see. My friends says that this is the question with the most valuable answer. She wouldn't let either guy within 100 miles of her teeth or her kids' and will happily tell people where she goes if they ask.

This is assuming the hygienist isn't crooked too. In the US, hygienists are typically paid hourly but with "production" bonuses, meaning they get a cut of the dentists fees for treatment beyond cleaning. So beware that they're incentivized to do more treatment than necessary too. In my friend's case, the bonuses are a small %, so it's not a huge incentive.

She stays because they pay well, give her the hours she needs as a single mom, and likes her co-workers. But the patient care and outcomes do take moral toll on her.

Also, thinking of this a bit more. I must admit, if my business plan was to clone Red Hat’s srpm repos and rebuild them (overly simplified), then losing access to Red Hat’s srpm repos would cause a lot of emotions.

In no country is it true that 5% of young adults have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The Pew Research article that you linked only looks at how people identify themselves.
> that looks suspiciously like what an ad would say ... fake comparison sites pretending to be genuine content.

This is already a thing under Google's system: if a result isn't an ad-ridden mess, it's content marketing trying to sell an adjacent product.

You haven't addressed the conflict of interest that Google has as the largest vendor of ads on the internet. Right now, Kagi's sole job is to help me find what I'm looking for. If SEO started to game their current algorithm, the incentive would be for Kagi to improve their algorithm and win the meta game. If they fail to do so, their payments will dry up as people look for an engine that will.

Google has no such incentive. If their algorithms consistently drive traffic to pages that have their ads on them, Google is incentivized to keep that traffic flowing, regardless of how SEO'd the content is. The user isn't Google's customer, the advertiser is.
Mechanisms like this are why I hate evolution as taught in K-12. The basic model (random mutations + selection of the fittest + sexual intermixing) is not just oversimplified, but oversimplified to the point of being wrong on many levels.

(It's not just the way DNA can jump between species; there's are many other mechanisms, such as evidence of rates of mutation changing during major changes like ice ages, dynamics of sexual partner selection, etc.).

Combined, those have deep implications, but outside of the scope of a HN post.

And: Seeing rational thinking as a layer serving the primitive needs vs an independent process capable of overriding them explains a lot.

All our choices occur in the emotional centers of our brain (in his lectures George Lakoff often mentions research showing that brain injury in emotional centers erase the ability to choose / have a preference).

The layer of rationalization deceives us into believing we somehow made an independent choice.

It's just a matter of mirroring the kernel, and since the kernels are learned I don't really see the big deal. I guess the usage of the term convolution comes from image processing and other DSP where it used to be actual convolution, and now the operation is basically the same even if you might not even care about the actual values in each kernel.

Alphabet in the US would just spin off 3 "competitors" and be done. All 4 would then be subsidiaries of the holding company and they still collect the money. Of course this can't happen in India, because there would be political repercussions unless it was was an Indian firm connected to the government.

To change this takes real political will and a recognition of who the beneficiaries of the current systems are. It's not simple in any remotely democratic system with rule of law.

We do have the FTC which can enforce antitrust (when the executive branch doesn't interfere) and force various requirements (like the auctioning of ad terms be separated from the business of marketing ads, and the collection of search data) on different parts of the company.

(edit: Oops, I must remember to only discuss US politics with any realism. Reference to any other country's corruption/politics must only be with the highest reverence, deference, and awe.)
