I'm not an expert so a pinch of salt is warranted but:

When you give some one money with legally recognized conditions then the organization has to honor those conditions. e.g donate money to a charity and tell them that it is to be used purchasing pens then that is all that money can be used for.

So if I understand correctly the 'scheme' here is that Lab A applies for and receives a grant that has stipulation X. As part of this process a portion of that grant goes to the hosting university without that stipulation. The university is free to spend that money however they wish, including providing some funds to Lab A for things that they really need but were not provided for under the grant.
Right. they exist, but they aren't great. I'm not sure if it is solveable without a significant shift.

I have seen teams using these whiteboard tools to good effect, but they aren't used the way a whiteboard would be, typically.

Probably also helps that the materials in catalytic converters can be pretty valuable on the scrap market.
Good. Maybe we shouldn’t treat a billionaire fraudster with kiddie gloves.
My opinion, only slightly tongue-in-cheek, is that Twitter changing its prompt, in 2009, from the ‘small’ “What are you doing?” to the ‘big’ “What’s happening?” sowed the seeds of its change from the authentic and personal thing it was, to the katamari of sound and fury it is now.
I suspect myriad. Academic politics is messier than real-world politics. In the Dark Triad personality classification, Machiavellianism should be a job requirement for professors if they are to succeed in such a twisted climate (and, as it turns out, many meet that requirement). Bear in mind that academics are better at generalized problem solving than most people, so their attempts to find viable solutions to complex political problems tend to be either elaborate or manipulative.

Good people do exist in academia, but most of them have retired, and the rest put up with it. I have a general belief that, unlike the majority of careers, being a successful academic (and I can't underscore "academic" enough) requires a strong moral compass, historically oriented toward a "Divine Light of Truth" or God, which ever floats your boat. Such is not required in a grant-seeking paradigm.
In fairness to both Kagi and other commnters, it works great for the searches I make all day while working on my desktop. I would go so far as to say it is significantly better than other attempts at replacing Google (e.g. Neeva.) It just doesn't work so well for the searches I make after work when making plans or on my phone while out and about.
OpenAI leases office space in SF
LVT takes no consideration of the improvements done to the property, of course. Great for aligning taxation to the opportunity cost of the property, but I would think it would dramatically underestimate the value of cashing out of the property.
Assuming (as is most likely) that this is some kind of unintentional behavior of a spam filter, it really highlights the risk of depending on these few, huge centralized services for email.
45it/s (0.1~s per image) on 7900XTX here, so it's still one magnitude faster on GPU with a lot higher power draw than the macs. Doing 10x slower with non-tethered is quite nice outcome.
Playing with this a bit more, and it is very cool!

One thing I like is that it provides the source text, so you can verify whether the summary is accurate. Other engines just give you an answer, leaving you to verify accuracy on your own as a separate step. But I wonder which translation it uses?

Wondering if it has a bias toward any particular theology, I tried some controversial terms.

The program gave an accurate defense of the five points of calvinism, but when I asked about dispensationalism, the verses it gave were less relevant than I hoped. On the other hand, it did give relevant results for Arminianism. On predestination, however, it missed Romans 9 but instead returned passages from Ecclesiastes and Galatians 4.

Concerning Roman Catholic theology, it did not seem to know what the immaculate conception is, and instead wandered aimlessly. It did know what purgatory is, but I expected to see 1 Cor. 13 and instead it returned passages from Job and Ecclesiastes.

Concerning Orthodox theology, it did not seem to know what the word filioque means. This isn't a word found in the bible, but neither is calvinism nor trinity, which it did know. It also knew iconostasis, though I am not qualified to judge whether it explained it accurately.

I was impressed that it knows what a gift economy is; I don't think this is a term I would expect to see in a typical commentary.

It did not feel comfortable commenting on facebook, but when I asked about the internet, the summary explained that we should only be judged by God and not our friends, and also warned against adulturous women. It was more positive about an information superhighway, returning results about sharing knowledge and being honest.

Many, or even most, of the engines are indeed old designs. But e.g. Rotax offers certified version of some of its 900 series engines, which are a relatively new design, some with fuel injection, FADEC, etc.

If you didn't buy it then why should I compensate you?

Why should my previous houses height be your concern? Did you pay me for that?

If you had a view before for free why is it my problem that you don't now? You could have bought the land to guarantee it, why didn't you?

Some of these are HoA restrictions which were shared covenants agreed upon in the past but we really need to reconsider the efficacy of allowing those to be enforceable.

Why is it up to a group of people who are all dead how tall a house I can build?

Very infrequently are people making housing decisions based on such covenants and pricing ignores them.

However when NIMBY comes up suddenly people want to be compensated for what they didn't pay for, didn't require as a stipulation of the property purchase, and weren't party to the original agreement.

1) Not sure how we can take Madoff's ponzi to the level of "he just took money from the wrong people".

2) TOS in financial sectors are generally very well thought out and would not surprise me at the startup level that executive leadership should have a solid understanding of what it does. In this case the TOS in question would allow/disallow FTX the exchange from lending money to sister org Alameda. This seems like a pretty crucial thing that the CEO, SBF, should know.

>Bosnians can refer to themselves in various ways. They have identified as Bosnians, Bosniaks (depending on the extent of their territorial claims), Turks, Muslims, Bogomils, and more over time. I don't particularly mind; believe in whatever you wish. However, it's somewhat ironic to instruct others to learn history when your own identity only stabilized around 20 years ago.

Bosnians speak of themselves as Bosnians, that's it. Bosnians have been in Bosnia from time immemorial, as long as there were people in Bosnia they called themselves Bosnians.

>No one, except for you, has mentioned 'dobri.'
'Dobri' meaning 'good', is what Bosnians were described by others and still do.

Usability and performance (for example when deployed on lower-end customer machines) are two major ones. Admittedly they have been getting better over time.

It's also not uncommon to have sites behave a bit differently when running via Burp, so given it's not open source, it can be hard to diagnose/debug what's going on.
Setting aside that some physical media does come with a digital download/digital code/whatever, or that you can just purchase digital media direct, or that you can just use use a streaming service on your phone/tablet, if you look at the top of this thread, we're talking about "moral justification" for piracy.

This is a great diverging discussion about the "censorship" and the commenting style in public forums. Let me add something: when I was writing the original comment that started all this, I wanted it to be funny, catchy, snarky, and karma-point-worthy. So, I decided to put a swear word as a stylistic choice. Then, to add some extra to the short comment, I decided to poke fun at the whole FCC bleeping regulation. Here, I will warmly recommend a book dedicated to bleeping over the seven "unspeakable words": the famous Steven Pinker's famous book "The Stuff of Thought".

Now, about the number of asterisks: I really didn't think that much about this, I kind of think I counted the right number of letters, but then there is no caret overwrite mode in the bleeping browser, which is yet another story...

> When I first saw a commercial install made of random Amazon modules, I thought "They shoulda made a PCB" and I had all these ideas.... but then I realized that when the random Amazon modules breaks, I can swap it in a few minutes, and fix it later if I want.

I can see this, and I've definitely created custom circuit boards for devices that I only need one of & would be straightforward to build with random modules.

But at the same time, for a commercial product or a product where quantities of > 10 exist, making a circuit board makes a lot of sense, introduces a lot of reliability and saves significant cost. It's really not hard anymore to make a PCB, and there's so much opportunity for error & poor connections when assembling things from Amazon crap.
Everyone thinks their research is important, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Not every chair, board, or panel can fully understand every topic, especially when it's highly specialized, much less predict its impact.

So often, people feel like they're being neglected when they're just not visible because they haven't communicated something to an audience they either don't recognize or don't value. They often write grants that don't explain the value of their work in a way that can be presented to people who don't already understand the value of the subject.

And if they're already pessimistic about support, they won't ask for support. If they're too focused on their work and not paying attention to the new hires, they won't realize they need to talk to their department about which faculty are using which labs this semester. In general, even when faculty talk to each other, they aren't always listening - at least not beyond anything that might directly be of interest to them.

And rarely does anyone ask, "How does all of this work, anyway?"

In a way, you're seeing the system working. Despite Karikó being unhappy with Penn State, she was able to perform and carry out research that did not prove critical until a global pandemic, her research was able to be located, accessed, and used, and she was subsequently recognized for it.

We can't reward potential. It's unfortunate that she felt unsupported by her department, but she did have personal advocates who helped to advance her, and she certainly wasn't the only researcher at Penn State - was she treated any differently to them?

And being blunt, if it were obvious that her research was valuable, wouldn't it have already been done by others, making this story pointless? Is it possible to be recognized for being a hidden gem before you're found?

An interesting aspect of this is that gaming notebooks/laptops already outsell gaming desktops by ~2:1¹, and that ratio will grow as desktops continue to become niche devices.

I like your estimate, but I think it's on the conservative side by at least a couple of years. The migration from x86 to ARM will be slow until it isn't.

I am an EA of long standing, though not very active on the movement side of things. I think SBF is a big deal, at least in so far as it prominently exposed a moral weakness in the movement. A heavy use of Bayes' rule coupled with a focus on the best uses of dollars led in my eyes to SBF being seen less as a successful EA celebrity and more of a moral exemplar. We're trying to effectively improve the world! SBF has developed a magic money printing machine which will make the world awesomely better by generating dollars for EA causes! Earn-To-Give proven the best strategy because of unlimited upside risk! We should be more like SBF!

I had two problems with this: firstly that a movement focusing on extracting money from the megarich rather than 10% tithes from the public more generally may potentially generate more cash (good!) but will probably do so most effectively with thought leadership and fundraising teams and donor care and castles for conferences of important people. This loses a distinctive simplicity and non-heirarchy that feels important.

The second is that I had much less sympathy with the 'longtermism' sub-sect than SBF and many of the richer and increasingly more prominent Californian types do[0]. And that the Good Old-Fashioned EA focus on cheap but unglamorous interventions on malaria, cash transfers etc. were being increasingly overshadowed in the public eye.

So I don't think it reflects badly on EAs that SBF turned out to be shady (as you say, all groups have a worst member). But it should prompt some awkward questions about the extent that the movement was taken in by the smoke-and-mirrors act. And ideally a reconsideration about whether chasing the money and interests of SBF-types is the right direction for the movement.

[0]: I find it suspicious that the equations demonstrating the infinite importance of fairly recherché concerns on the specifics of AI safety, for example, just happen to line up with the research interests of some EA-adjacent people. That suggests people aren't discounting sufficiently for their own group biases.
Microsoft bundled their browser with the OS yet chrome/chromium is the largest browser by market share. People spent 5 minutes downloading and installing another browser. Switching search engines takes 20 seconds. How does defaulting a search engine harm users? Do you users pay more money? Are Google search inferior to other search engines?

Also what happens to Firefox if they can only charge a nominal fee for search engines priority? That is 90% of their revenue.

The way to beat google's search dominance is to build a better search engine. Bing could beat them today if "Browse by bing" didn't take 30+ seconds to get you results. It is vastly superior at finding answers than google search.

These are generally good tips for visual balance and legibility, but also keep in mind that the main purpose of a diagram is to promote understanding. Visual qualities like symmetry, alignment, relative shape and size imply relationships between nodes, like whether two systems have similar roles, capacity or importance.

In one of their examples, there's an "unplanned" node that's placed awkwardly on far side; but maybe that's actually helpful to know! Maybe it's an ugly hack and should stay over there until it's better integrated into the core design.

So just make sure the diagram is helpful and accurate first and foremost, then worry about tidying things up. And maybe leave some of the imperfect parts looking a bit more imperfect...

It's also not actually true.

The NIH themselves is fine with you buying computers that directly support the "aims" of the grant (e.g., data analysis). They don't want you buying "general" office equipment off a grant.

However, most universities are touchy about this and default-deny all computer purchases unless you yell the chapter and verse of the regs at them (which I have now done several times).

I run a similar API program for an IoT Manufacturer. Our API is public.

I have a lot of thoughts about this.

Supporting things like this is a mixed bag IMO.

This group (especially Home Assistant) are very technical, hands on, and engaged.

I'm a one man team (soon to be two). Between the "big guys" Alexa, Google, SmartThings, HomeKit, Paying Customers (RMR) it's hard to dedicate time to support what in my world are enthusiast projects outside of simply providing the API developer portal.

On the other side, it's really fun to work with these groups. I just usually run out of time.

The dark side of these integrations is they can be really badly implemented, and possibly misused. I've had to make pull requests to more than one "scraped" API integration because it was sending tons of bad traffic and/or creating unintended results for end-users.

It is mostly a manpower problem to police, and in extreme cases like a garage door being left open/not closing becomes a liability (no matter what your API agreement says).

That being said, our public API has been a net good. We've promoted some real quality partnerships off organic visitors to the website (or my linkedin).
