It should be noted that the scientists themselves, and particularly the top scientists, since the others are not as easily heard or listened to, have largely contributed to the development of this particular academic system in which the quality of one's work and academic decisions (recruitment, tenure, salary) are evaluated primarily, but not exclusively, by:

total number of publications, citations, grants obtained and their monetary values, number of students, impact factor of the journals in which the research was published, h-index, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and public visibility.

Did I miss anything?

For once, neither politicians nor administrators were responsible for a system of "perverse incentives," since these gray figures are not involved in either hiring or tenure decisions.

Case in point: one of the leading scientists in a field in which I dabble, and former chief scientist of The Nature Conservancy, routinely had his name on dozens of articles each year. Given the volume of his other academic commitments, at most he would be able to take a look at those papers, certainly he was not able to contribute meaningfully to (any of) them. So why does a top scientist, at the end of his career, whose place in the pecking order is established, still feel this need to have his name on papers to which he has contributed nothing, instead of taking a different path, in which he demonstrates, with facts, that unattainable "productivity" is not what scientists should aspire to?

Someone might say, "Well, maybe it's not him, but his students or collaborators who want his name, so they can say they published a paper with an important scientist." And why would they want to say that? To impress other scientists, the ones who will give them professorships, appointments, fellowships, etc.

> But I always trust people who are capable of expressing their own confidence levels more, because I can see that they've considered the topic more fully

You shouldn't since it makes you vulnerable to social manipulation and bullshitters. People know you think like this, so those who wants to manipulate will talk like an authority, which is why you see ChatGPT use a lot of hedging and fluff language like this, because it makes people trust what it says more. Don't fall for that, it is so easy to fake.

But sure, if you want to manipulate people you should speak like that since it makes them trust you more. But that has nothing to do with being wrong or not, since people don't view you as an authority if you don't speak like that and therefore don't trust you then that means it is the correct way to speak if you aren't sure.

You don't get tricked since I don't hedge my language, that is exactly what I want.

I was going to go this route till I found laravel has the same thing basically in filamentphp, I really just wanted a change from PHP so spent a month in wagtail really liked it but I feel I could get more done faster sticking to laravel.

I've tried to ditch laravel so many times, I really like sveltekit and the idea of plugging it into Postgrest or firebase or just use prisma, but I always end up back at laravel.

Wagtail almost had me because Django has a nice migration system but I don't like how it creates special tables for polymorphism and special sauce like for content types etc, in laravel I always know what the data schema is and there's no gotchas or unexpected things.
Thanks for this. In case anyone finds this in the future, note that after setting this, and running `brew install blah`, it will output "Running `brew update --auto-update`..." and then appear to hang. Just press ctrl+c and it will continue to installation.
Yeah I meant in addition to their own assets, hence the revenue stream. A standard setup like Unity has for their asset store.

Using unity as the example there are some crummy assets, but there's also some incredibly popular and well made assets, many used by AAA games.
The same argument came up in a big company, incidentally for the same use case, certificate store in a CA. This led to benchmarks, where OpenLDAP was significantly slower, like three orders of magnitudes. Databases have gotten really faster in the last couple of years while OpenLDAP has stagnated.

If you're "investing" in something like this you're a speculator. That's fine, adults can go to the casino if they please, but if you place a bet and lose you don't get to ask for your money back. You can also take a hundred thousand bucks in gold bullion home with you to stick under your mattress. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

But nobody is forcing anybody to do that. And if you don't, you could still use it as a currency without having to worry about what happens to risk tolerant speculators/idiots.

I would suggest neither in your position. I suggest trying a language like F#. F# started as with the idea of developing a language with OCaml like syntax and semantics for the .NET platform. Since then its evolved to being a mature, elegant and robust language. It can run on Windows and Linux.

Advantages over OCaml is I suspect a much larger footprint and the ability to tap into all of .NET (huge ecosystem). Plus your skills will be more portable than Haskell or OCaml.

Both Haskell and OCaml are exceptional languages but the ecosystem and market footprint is not great for either. Jane Street has done a lot to evangelize OCaml but it hasn't really moved the needle. Haskell is probably the most different being a lazy functional language. Definitely learn it but using it in real life will be harder.
dbt is just an orchestration tool. It uses SQL because that's what you need to pass to the target database. There is a python plugin if you prefer to use that for your models instead. Theoretically dbt could wrap any language your target system accepts. The actual configuration of the dbt runtime itself is done with yaml files.
Which provider offers such a cheap VPS?
As someone who writes for a living, I often say that there are two components to being a passable writer: a technical understanding of syntax, and exposure to the written word.

Syntax can be taught. When I was in school, I was taught sentence diagramming [1]. Learning to diagram sentences is akin to learning how to compute mathematical equations. At some point, teachers stopped teaching sentence diagramming (I suspect because it was too onerous on English teachers to effectively teach, and because it was too technically difficult for the lower end of students to learn). My wife, for example, who is vastly smarter than me, was never taught diagramming. Consequently her knowledge of English syntax is much worse than mine.

Exposure can’t be taught. You have to read and continue reading. The more someone reads, the broader their exposure. Reading is the best way to increase your vocabulary and learn about different use cases for words. The best writers are avid readers.[2]

If we want to create a generation of better writers we should restructure our English classes. More sentence diagramming and more assigned reading. My guess is there isn’t really an appetite to make English more rigorous. Unlike math, where there are different levels of math offered in school, English is pretty much one-size-fits-all until college.

[2]: I’m not suggesting that I’m among the best writers, and I disclaim any errors on this social media post. Even people paid to write can and do make dumb mistakes. That’s why God created editors.
They struggle in large part because they aren’t being taught to do that either.
That's true, I remember starting applications and running to grab a snack from the fridge while they loaded. It was not unusual to have to be careful while using certain applications to not overwhelm them with work or they'd run out of memory and crash or freeze. I recall reading a discussion specifically on this point, suggesting ways that software should elegantly handle user input to avoid this problem instead of blaming the user for being too aggressive.

90% of writing in highschool is some form of literaray analysis or book report. its next to useless unless your dream is to be a critic.

90% of what makes money in the real world from a writing perspective comes down to persuasion and narrative. most schools don't even try to teach students either of these. the few that do, do so as electives or a very small subset of useful skills among years of tuition in useless literary masterbation.
> is a real issue with local development using certain web features.

Is it? I thought browsers treat localhost/127.0.0.* specifically as if it were served over https, even if it isn't - otherwise, you could basically forget developing anything locally.

Is there any feature which doesn't treat localhost as a secure origin?

I figure you can always buy a hostname, get a cert using the DNS-01 challenge, then resolve the domain to 127.0.0.1 though - or getting back to the OP and running a custom CA.
I grew up in a blue collar neighborhood in the US Midwest, and I went to mediocre public schools. But even so, I learned to write very well. We were taught sentence structure through diagramming in 9th grade; and then we spent the rest of high school writing book reports, term/research papers, and essays. Is this not common in other US school systems?
Let me take a tangent to this, a couple of decades ago I was using Delphi and it was marvellous. A couple of years ago I tried to do some equivalent front-end building backed by a database, in Visual Studio and it was a bloody nightmare. Complexity beyond my understanding, little or no documentation, the automatically generated code was broken... It cost me several days and then I gave up.

So anyone saying that modern software is slower because it does more, better - well then I give you Visual Studio as proof that's not always true.
For sure. The first time I used it I doubted I had used it correctly because I could not believe it had actually grepped through all the ~34k files in my Rails app in under 30 ms.
I am not too much of an expert on enterprise hardware, but those are PCIe interface. I don’t know how possible it is to rack up 24 of those in a single server (you would run out of lanes).

This is something more similar to what is in those Dell servers (and there are 24 of them):

https://www.newegg.com/p/0N7-0133-00003

There is certainly a markup with Dell, but it’s sort of like a cloud vendor - pay for the warranty and service, and be (somewhat) hands off if something breaks.
For list comprehension, we have (C++23): `std::ranges::to<std::vector>(items | std::views::filter(shouldInclude) | std::views::transform(f))` it’s not quite `[f(x) for x in items if shouldInclude(x)]` but it’s the same idea.
Not necessarily. “Spelled” as the passive participle is the Oxford spelling. (Oxford spelling uses “spelt” for the active past tense form only.)
It's not like these needs can't be anticipated. The wiring problem can be solved by running conduit, or at least making fishing easy. As for the heating, the basic problem of pushing around hot air or hot water just isn't going to change, regardless of the details of how it's accomplished.

My point is that it's possible to build a house with with a lasting structure that can be updated for new technologies as they arise relatively easily, but we don't do that because the home building industry is overrun with corner cutting.

If you visit old houses (pre-war) you can see that the general quality of the construction is just considerably higher than the crackerjack boxes we've been erecting since the '50s. Sure, there is an element of survivorship bias, and some of the legacy stuff is ugly to deal with (lead paint, asbestos, horsehair, and knob and tube, I'm looking at you), but overall they were built to last in a way that new construction today just isn't.
Lodash is a great library. It's something I wind up using a little bit of on almost every project I work on.

However, as JavaScript has become better and better, I use Lodash less and less. Every time I catch myself using it, I make sure to go see if there's a built-in for what I'm trying to do. I also find myself commenting on PRs with links to "you don't need Lodash for this" quite often.

I still hope this isn't a sign they are stepping away from the project.

Wow, I would have to sit down and think for a bit in order to come up with something I disagree with more than this. Being able to write well is a golden ticket to getting things you want, especially economic opportunities. If you can communicate well, people will trust you with important, valuable things. If you aren’t writing, you’re not thinking as well as you could be, and therefore not communicating as well as you could be.

I've found my HRV (measured by a Garmin watch) directly correlates with my anxiety levels. So much so, that I use it as a marker to check in with myself, because stress and anxiety can quietly creep up ... but my HRV status is always reflective.

It's magic. Like having an accurate anxiety metric, even if the anxiety is purely unconscious.
I think this in near-inevitable in any org or federation of orgs of people with more than a few hundred people involved (wild-ass-guess, substitute your own).

Once you have too much scale for a few people to truly know what's going on, all that's left to keep people working on the right incentives is trust, and inevitably you'll have some bad actors at some point, and after that you put in some metrics and then it gets worse cause even good actors pursuing those metrics may have gone off the rails.

The only places I've seen avoid it moderately successfully have had exceptional people managers, like 1-in-100/1000 level, to minimize the appeal of playing the game instead of doing the work.
Public Discussion of CommScope CA Inclusion Request
I’ve been really excited about this paper since I went to the presentation at SIGMOD for it. I think the key innovation here is that it’s the first open standard for a format that’s just a simple combination of lightweight encodings. As far as I’m aware, most columnar DBMS already have storage like this, so it’s not very novel from a technical perspective.

However, the data science/big data world has been bogged down by inefficient, clunky formats like Parquet for quite a while and so I applaud any steps towards bridging the gap between the two worlds.
I'm not sure what blue vs red is, in this context, but I can't tell if the frustration is because your colleague thinks you're asking because you don't understand docker, or because you question their understanding of docker.

> In terms of unmodified diffusers, you mean fine tuned to whatever they are working on?

No, people hack non-default augmentations onto the vanilla diffusers (or SAI) pipe to increase speed or increase quality. Some examples included the channels last memory format, downsampling some stages to FP16, TomeSD, self attention, and some more user-guided augmentations like controlnet or tiled diffusion.

"alternate" runtimes like the ones available via torch.compile or AITemplate provide some pretty massive speed gains (~2x) if you need them, but are less common since they are hard to install and HF diffusers only (where most of the SD community uses the original SAI implementation).

Just as an example implementation, VoltaML is quite speedy out-of-the-box, with most of the sane optimizations already implemented, though its missing some features (like tiled diffusion/area prompting) that the SAI based pipelines have: https://github.com/VoltaML/voltaML-fast-stable-diffusion

> Instead of lending directly, the big banks worked through powerful industry players. They enlisted large fleet owners and brokers — especially Neil Greenbaum, Richard Chipman, Savas Konstantinides, Roman Sapino and Basil Messados — to use the banks’ money to lend to medallion buyers. In return, the owners and brokers received a cut of the monthly payments and sometimes an additional fee.

The big players knew what was happening, they exploited individual drivers to quickly offload their liability. They weren't directly exposing themselves to the risk.

When prices collapsed PE swooped in and bought them outright.
Toy examples struggle here because if things are simple it is much cleverer to use multiple queries from a real programming language that can be debugged. Recursion in SQL is more challenging to debug than a loop in a language with flow control. And if the problem isn't a toy problem, trying to solve it with Postgres as the graph engine is probably going to open up a new can of worms that need to be dealt with.

It takes a strange situation for Postgres' recursion features to be a good idea. All 3 solutions would be red flags to me if I saw them in a real codebase - and accompanied by of a large number of other unmaintainable SQL functions. This is the fast way to turn a small for loop into a week of Senior Dev billable hours. Someday I'll see an exception to that rule of thumb, so far no luck.
I think its less to do with writing per se then general educational apathy/mediocrity/low bars. It's not like students can't do it, it's that they are not required to.

The other thing I'd point out is that the spectrum is just so broad when it comes to educational quality in the United States. There is a big difference between going to Thomas Jefferson or Stuyvesant and the local public high school in some rural town or inner city with a 12% graduation rate...

Interesting analogy with pottery. I see that an important academic practice that does scale like vases is structuring your research in easily publishable way. As a beginner (typically a young highly motivated idealistic student — who else would want to go to academia in the first place?), you can start with good research idea and important results and no understanding of academic world, but struggle to get accepted anywhere decent because you didn't follow all unwritten rules, and as you get experience, you learn the rules of the game and plan your work to contain many low-risk "least publishable units" to build your reputation. So yes, "a lot of unimportant papers".

Many interesting papers nowadays come from commercial R&D departments, like MS Research, because unimportant papers probably don't move your main KPIs (which would be "a lot of patents" AFAIU), and only interesting results improve the image of the company and serve as good marketing material.

> The writing has to be about a topic for which the evaluator and the writer have a common level of understanding. This means that post-modern literary analysis is useless for teaching writing.

In practice, you're simply criticized for not discussing the context and structure through which you view the work. Arguably that's what critical theory is as opposed to other frameworks of criticism, namely structural theories like marxist and many tracks of feminist thought. Not only is this not a problem at all in practice, it isn't really relevant to the topic at hand because "postmodern literary analysis" doesn't generally exist at the high school and survey level.
