Good question. Rewards vary because: “Ethereum staking APR is mainly affected by the number of active validators that dilute staking rewards and by the network activity paying out more or less transaction fees, priority tips, and through MEV opportunities created.“
That quote is from this site:

But, if I were to assume a rate of 4%, compounding monthly, for 20 years. 32 could turn into 71. I got that number using this calculator:

https://www.mathportal.org/calculators/financial-calculators...

That’s not considering gas fees for the compounding transactions though. Nor the cost of running the server. But I guess it’s a rough guess.
Great post. Seeing similar with TikTok and DJI FUD
How people say never is beyond me because there is still between now and the supposed end of the universe around 30 billion years to go and we advanced so much just in the last 100.
It’s never been that arbitrary at YouTube though. Pretty easy to spot patterns. It’s very obvious that it’s a small motivated human group doing this, not just a faceless process protecting their profits using some hyper capitalist risk projection with advertisers, where the news cycle comes in and the outputs go out.
If your threat model includes someone breaking your encrypted communications X years from now, quantum resistance can be important. Signal markets itself as for reporters and whistleblowers who may have state-level adversaries.
Audio didn’t really catch on for journaling either; save podcasters. It’s reasonably easy to store for most of us on this platform. For most people it has the same search problem.

I used to take audio notes in the car, because it’s easy to do. But I never went back and listened. Maybe if it could be transcribed reasonably well it would work out. Some dictate to their phones quite a bit these days.

Yes, it’s a contrived example. But it’s not like this is some obscure thing that no go programmer has ever run into in practice. It’s something I’d wager almost everyone has encountered if they’ve used it longer than a year.

The shortest possible answer is that qubit states are modeled as two-dimensional vectors on the complex unit sphere. We arbitrarily designate two orthonormal vectors on this sphere as corresponding to classical states 0 and 1. If the qubit vector isn't in the 0 or 1 state, it's in some linear combination of them. This is called superposition. Since most people don't know what linear combination means, superposition is explained as "sort of both at the same time". Upon measurement the qubits are collapsed to 0 or 1 with some probability proportional to how close they are to the 0 and 1 states. The precise probabilities are given by something called the Born rule. I gave a longer talk aimed at computer scientists if you're interested beyond this explanation: https://youtu.be/F_Riqjdh2oM
Professional reputation is and has always mattered when engaging with large companies. Especially between 'media personalities' and media companies.
Phil style: track end and remaining. End doesn’t change. To allocate size, check if lesseq remaining and subtract from it. End minus remaining is the result (using the old value of remaining). Has two variants - one that burns an extra register but saves an instruction. Empirically, this one is fast enough that I just use it all the time.

Bmalloc style bump: independently subtract from remaining and add to bump. It’s more instructions but they are instruction level parallel.

Another friend’s bump style: have bump/end ptrs like usual. Fast path checks if size < end - bump. Then you add to bump like usual.

Note that instruction counts on these don’t matter so much on modern CPU’s. But dependency chain length does matter, a lot. Register usage matters only if you want to inline the allocator (and it’s not always beneficial to do it).
This may be confusing to those familiar with Google's libraries. The baseline is the Go BTree, which I personally never heard of until just now, not the C++ absl::btree_set. The benchmarks aren't directly comparable, but the C++ version also comes with good microbenchmark coverage.

This feels like such a non-news. They've pretty much created a language which is deliberately dumbed down to be 20 years behind other languages, then they are proud that they could speed it up with a feature that was fairly well-known almost 20 years ago.

Also the obsession with not providing tools for the programmer to use the stack, and rely on compiler internals to not heap-allocate everything.
CEE 7/7 is where it's at. Couple that with some future CEE socket standard to make all the best engineering in type-E and type-F standard (polarised connectors from E, and earth tabs on the outer rim from F, plus protective shutters), and it'd be perfect.

My impression has been that in the sciences, there are a significant number of people who get into a graduate program, just do what they are told by their adviser for a few years, get handed a PhD, land a job on the recommendation of their adviser, and spend the rest of their careers elaborating on what they did as a student.

This is not necessarily bad, as there is a lot of drudge work that needs doing in science. The problem is the pressure to over-promote everything you do. The reality is that very few people, even among PhD's, have the capacity to do really original work. There was a study many years ago on the physics community that found that less than 10% of physicists published even one thing in their career that someone else found worth citing.

Those outlets existed because pre-NEMA there were competing parallel and tandem bladed plugs/sockets [1]. The plugs you saw were probably like examples 2 & 3 in that link. The parallel configuration became NEMA 5-15P and the tandem became NEMA 2-15P.

The NEMA 6 series is wider than the 5 series and the 6-15P probably won't fit in those old outlets, but the NEMA 2-15P would. . . if you could find one.

Completely anecdotally, I find this to be true. I do pre-clinical research (disclaimer: for a pharma company), and if you hand me a paper describing some research result in my field, it’s much more likely to reproduce in my hands if it’s from industry. I know from talking to my academic research friends that there are a ton of shortcuts, rotating inexperienced staff, and misaligned incentives. I’m not saying pharma is perfect, but in my experience, they’re more reproducible.

Fwiw, I do not know of any data in my realm which have been molded, cherry picked, intentionally misrepresented, falsified, or otherwise fake or flawed. I don’t work with clinical trial data, so if that were happening, it wouldn’t be on my desk.
I think the main difference is that traditionally, this gatekeeper function was "decentralized". That is, ABC, NBC, CBS, New York Times, The Atlantic, Baltimore Sun, etc. etc. etc. all made their own editorial decisions, and there were dozens – if not hundreds – of decisions being made, rather than just a small handful of them.

This is still true to some extent, but the distribution of stories relies a lot more on a small handful of companies. Previously the distribution (newspaper stands and the like) might also refuse to carry some issues they found particularly objectionably, but again, these decisions were "distributed" much more than it is today, and it didn't affect subscribers of the newspaper or magazine.

Not that the previous system was perfect either or always worked well, or didn't have their downsides, but it's not really the same, IMHO.
This will be 100x better before the first treatment hits human trials.

The FED thought it could fix housing prices by raising rates (yes, they did [1]). What they failed to realize is everybody is now so locked in with their sub-4% interest rates, the vast majority are happy to sit for the next 10-30 years. This is going to mess up the market for a long, long time. I say this as someone who was lucky to get one of those sub-4% rates, but now would like to move closer to my new job, but can't justify it.

The future is you either have a house or you don't and the down payment and monthly payments escape your income bracket or destroy it on a monthly basis. Nobody with a sub-4% is going to sell, the cat is out of the bag and its more profitable to hold that low of a rate longterm and rent it out than sell.

I wonder if you have enough self-awareness to notice why your behavior here might be considered bizarre. No, people who point out that your government routinely and brazenly backdoors equipment and software everyone uses (or rather, has forced upon them to use), while Chinese actions of this sort are evidenced to a lesser extent, and so the onus in justifying the use of that country's products is on the US at least as much as on China, are mostly not "wumao", nor whataboutists, nor anything of the sort. They're making an entirely sound argument an unbiased person would make given the context, you're just using those mind-killing political notions to dismiss a topic that offends your patriotic sensibilities.

Wumaos are low-paid grunts and sincere idiots who disingenuously downvote, report and post irrelevant nonsense regarding racist imperialist AmeriKKKa or legitimate Chinese clay/territorial waters/6000 years of peaceful history. This is very easy to see. You're free to suspect any interlocutor as being one, of course, but if that's your only retort, you'd do better not stooping to the level of an undeniable propagandist and instead conceding the object-level issue – or keeping silent.

It is not all that difficult to select or find an interesting scientific questions for which a Yes, a No, or even a Maybe is publishable and interesting. Two on my highest impact studies have been fun “No” studies—-

1. No, there is minimal or no numerical matching between populations of neurons in retina (ganglion cells) and populations of principal neurons in their CNS target (the thalamus). That demolished the plausible/attractive numerical matching hypothesis. I was trying valiantly to support it ;-)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14657177/

2. No, there is no strong coupling of volumes of different brain regions due to “developmental constraints” in brain growth patterns.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23011133/

That idea just struck me as silly from an evolutionary and comparative perspective. We were happy to call it into doubt.

I suspect many of the comments are being made by damn fine programmers who know right from wrong ;-) a la Dijkstra. But in biology and clinical research, defining right and wrong is an ill-defined problem with lots of barely tangible and invisible confounders.

We should still demand well designed, implemented, and analyzed experimental or observational data sets.

However, that alone is not nearly enough to ensure meaningful and generalizable results. The meta-analyses were supposed to help at this level for clinical trials but have been gamed by bad actors with career objective that don’t consider patient outcomes even a bit.

Highlighting the problem is a huge step forward and it looks like AI may provide some near-future help along with more complete data release requirements.

Missing from this is the seemingly broad expectation on the part of developers that you can't count on Google to not toss your investment in the trash as they are not in for the long haul with their products. Stadia as a product lasted less time than it can take to develop some of the games they wanted on it.
Interesting article but it feels like the author may be conflating "explosion" with "singularity". An explosion does not imply infinite growth but, instead, a sudden large burst of growth.
While there’s no reason to believe some broad conspiracy exists, it’d be hilariously ridiculous to assume that the folks at YouTube are unaware of the power they have to influence the zeitgeist. If some number of them act to advance their individual worldview through their enforcement of policy (is there any doubt that this happens?), then it is perfectly reasonable to say that YouTube, as a result of the conscious or unconscious biases of its decision makers, advances a worldview (though perhaps not a specific narrative).

That’s mostly the case — the line between ML and statistics is blurry. However the concerns of a practitioner of machine learning and a practitioner of statistics can be different. The ML community has a greater interest in stuff like “can I come up with a procedure to learn this thing.” Lots of practitioners don’t care about why something works as long as it works (a theorist can figure it out later).

A statistician might be more concerned with getting the modeling assumptions right and applying methods in a more rigorous manner. They might not push the envelope as much in terms of application, but that’s because they have a higher standard they hold themselves to.

However, this line is incredibly blurry and there’s plenty of more detailed write ups by people who have spent time in both communities (I have a bit of bias in that my exposure is primarily to the ML community). There are people that do applied work and theoretical work in both communities and there are good and bad practitioners in both communities.
Neh, but in this case its the platform itself that is doing the boycotting, not the individuals choice.

That you will never succeed, because the AIs are already better. Because you are too simple. And they can calculate what you will do for all eternity. Because the AIs can simply hold out a false carrot, and then all humanity falls toward the event horizon. Wealth for the wealthy, celebrity for the celebrity. Run toward the carrot and backstab those in front of you. That you were born into Westworld.

That the botnets integrated generative AI the minute it became available. That all other beliefs are foolish. That all the corporations already had AI, and already integrated those ideas a long time ago. 30 years of "maybe AI someday"? Then they all release in a couple months?

Lionel Fanthorpe legendarily wrote a book every weekend, but he is also legendarily one of the worst writers of all time.
At least in pre-clinical research, there’s also a mechanism by which regulatory agencies can sometimes force industry to pay for replication studies. It’s a little complicated, because sometimes there aren’t many groups who can reliably do the study, and clinical trials are so expensive and time-consuming to run, it would be difficult to do at that scale. Rodent studies are generally under $1M and monkey studies are generally under $5M (up a lot recently). Clinical trials are in the hundreds of millions of dollars and take years to run.

> Another way of seeing it is that "40% of the code became imaginary", in the sense that you have to figure out what the macro is expanding to.

The compiler does lots of internal 'expansion' steps in all kinds of different internal formats to spit out machine code at the end. We typically wonder what all those intermediate steps are.

Why should we suddenly care, just because one of those internal formats can be interpreted as being compatible with an earlier version of the Go language? (I don't say, that the internal format _is_ the Go language, because I doubt their internal representation looks like the bytes you have in your .go file.)
