> It'll never happen, but if funding agencies like the NSF or NIH put strings on the funding like "100% must go to the PI awarded this grant" with accounting requirements, it would help remove some of the financial incentive.

From what I've seen in very limited searches, universities claim that the 30-60% overhead/administrative costs are to account for things like employee benefits, utility costs, building maintenance, and the like. The stated money pits all make sense to me, but I don't see how it actually comes up to those numbers.

Do you know if these costs are ever itemized by universities? That's probably a necessary first step before NSF/NIH would consider a rule to avoid paying opaque overhead costs. (Though I fear it would lead to absurd equipment rental fees or something of the sort. "You want to use a test tube? $3 per day per tube!")
Interesting. I just sent myself a test mail from and to an O365 account which included the URL of the article.

As the article claims, it doesn’t get delivered. Not even in the spam folder.

Other email between the same addresses goes through without problems.

EDIT: the Exchange admin center has the email quarantined with reason “malware”, discovered through “URL detonation reputation”.
> ...and if it was high enough concentration: imagine snorting, inhaling or injecting dish soap.

I'm worried enough imagining the soap doing to my insides the things it does to organic residue on my hands or dishes.
Sorry if it wasn't your intent, but this comes off as sarcastic/uncharitable. Why does offering plane tickets to spread out the load make it not a sanctuary city? The ends sound like a reasonable goal to me, even if the strategy might not work. The planes aren't bringing them back to their home countries. They aren't trying to get rid of all their migrants - they are just overloaded. They would in fact be helping even more migrants by not overloading societal infrastructure in one location.

No, it doesn't unfortunately. In a professional testing world, we'd normally just ask clients nicely to disable that for our testing. If you're testing something where you don't have a relationship with the developers, then Frida is my go-to tool to get around that. Although once you've disabled SSL pinning, you can use Pākiki to intercept the traffic itself.
The title highlighting the "skimming over" TOS seems a bit alarmist to me. I bet there are very rare CEOs who could even say that much.

As a result my "we don't like this guy so we'll talk up any minor negative thing we find" detectors start to go off. I think he just took money from the wrong people, kinda like Madoff.
It's a small Asian restaurant in a strip mall. They'd signed up with some Restaurant As A Service provider which handled the ordering, both remote and local. This put them in the position of an Uber driver - they were just gig workers for the app.
The current generation mostly have shared witheboards already I think (zoom, teams, etc).

To the extent that this is true, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them used routinely in any team or organisation I’ve worked with. I believe a large part of this is because no-one has yet found a way to use a keyboard and mouse as quickly/casually/effectively as good old pen and paper (or, in this case, marker and whiteboard). Given that so much of our work now happens remotely, I’m a little surprised that stylus-friendly devices haven’t caught on more.
They take it, but are they comfortable doing so? Or just have no better alternatives?

Most women I knew in those cities preferred riding with friends or a boyfriend, some even took taxis to avoid the metros at night if they couldn’t. But that was also a crapshoot, because some taxi drivers are even worse and then you definitely won’t have anyone else around.

Most moved out of the cities entirely when they got kids for ‘safety issues’, among other things. Like the logistical nightmare that is navigating the systems with kids and all their stuff. A few stayed and got cars.

Very few systems the public seems to consider generally safe enough to send kids unattended - Zurich, Tokyo, Singapore are the only ones that occur to me.

Tokyo has a serious subway groping issue though, fwiw.

Grifters - truly, such a comforting thing to say that ensures everyone will feel the apparent warm fuzzies you seem to have?

Notably, they left me alone after some eye contact, but seemed to have no issue harassing female parisians indefinitely while the cops ignored them. None of the women seemed surprised. None of them seemed happy about it either. I didn’t see any unsolicited touching though, so that’s good!

C’est la vie?
My favorite little bit about all this:

https://www.glamour.com/story/katalin-kariko-biontech-women-...

> In 2013—after enduring multiple professional setbacks, one denied grant after another, and a demotion at the institution to which she’d been devoted for decades—Katalin Karikó, Ph.D., walked out of her lab at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Medicine for the last time.

> That morning at the lab, Karikó’s old boss had come to see her off. She did not tell him what a terrible mistake he was making in letting her leave. She didn’t gloat about her future at BioNTech, a pharmaceuticals firm that millions now associate with lifesaving vaccines but was then a relative upstart in the field. Instead the woman who had bounced from department to department, with no tenure prospects and never earning over $60,000 a year, said with total confidence: “In the future, this lab will be a museum. Don’t touch it.”
The grant has restrictions on how the money can be used and the university takes a sizeable chunk of this (because they can). Then out of generosity and the pure kindness of their heart they might give you back a small chunk of that sum without the same restrictions.
Because nowadays a lot of people who works in marketing are not technical, not engineers, and they usually end up using sketchy tactics and sell lies that either put the technical people under pressure to deliver those claims or simply fail.
Any aircraft mechanics care to comment on this? I know lots of small privately owned aircraft are really really old. Like 50s or 60s or older. Is this going to screw up their fuel system gaskets and seals?
Sounds like you've stumbled into the wonderful world of machine-learning guided proof synthesis! While I don't think the full system you're describing has been built yet, many similar systems and pieces have. In terms of the initial phase of supervised learning on existing proofs to prove new ones, there's TacticToe (https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.00596), Tactician (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.00120.pdf), CoqGym/ASTactic (https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.09381), Proverbot9001 (https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.07794), and Diva (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3510003.3510138#sec-terms), among others. Most of these have some sort of language model within them, but if you're specifically looking for the LLM's that have been big recently, there's GPT-f (https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03393), Baldur (https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.04910), and COPRA (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04353), though currently these models don't seem as effective as the specialized non-LLM tools. In terms of using reinforcement learning to learn beyond human written proofs, there's TacticZero (https://openreview.net/forum?id=edmYVRkYZv), this paper from OpenAI (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.01344.pdf), rlCoP (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.07563), the HOList line of work (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.10006.pdf), and HyperTree Proof Search (https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.11491), as well as some in progress work I'm working on with a team at the University of Massachusetts.

>s SRE a byproduct of a bubble economy of easy money? Why not operate without the significant added expense of SRE teams?

I'm a SWE SRE. I think in some cases it is better to be folded into a team. In other cases, less so.

One SRE team can support many different dev teams, and often the dev teams are not at all focusing time on the very complicated infra/distributed systems aspect of their job, it's just not something that they worry about day to day.

So it makes sense to have an 'infra' that operates at a different granularity than specialized dev teams.

That may or may not need to be called SRE, or maybe it's an SRE SWE team, or maybe you just call it 'infrastructure' but at a certain scale you have more cross cutting concerns across teams where it's cheaper to split things out that way.

Encryption gets broken eventually as we get more compute power, and the current algorithms could have problems we're not yet aware of. IPFS requires every node to agree to your delete request (if I'm understanding it correctly).

What's stopping someone from just vacuuming all the data they can until codebreaking catches up with encryption?

Is there a way to remove malicious content? For example, if someone uses this to store some malware's payload and you don't want your project being used for that, what happens?

That said, IPFS is cool, and this project is a neat application of it
Wow this is really cool.

> The 75+ heads, all have steel seats.

No idea about 240z specifically, but at least things designed for sustained high performance (like aero engines) tend to use valve seats made from some wear and temperature resistant alloy like stellite or brightray.
Yeah. Mitchell Baker collects a lot of money for having achieved nothing. They should bring back Brendan Eich as CEO. Of course that's unrealistic.
This comment is "not even wrong".

I'm not sure how much more "alive" you expect something like pollen to be (or most allergens, which are usually proteins or protein fragments). Nobody is claiming that antibodies are binding to whole-cats or whole-dogs. They normally bind to protein, and sometimes to protein-coupled-with-small-molecules.

It's fairly notable for there to be Abs against synthetic molecules, even if PEG is technically organic, and a relatively large molecule.
Why do you single out Grammarly in the title of this post when other larger orgs are part of this. I have no relation to Grammarly and I appeal to your fairness. Perhaps “Large organizations making OAuth implementation mistakes” would be more appropriate.

Pretty much, and yet despite the marketing people are the ones who “earned” that reputation, they are still blaming it on the technical people, kind of ironic in OP post too.
It stirs great jealousy in me as well... but as they say, are we not all standing on the shoulders of giants? And if the new [whatever] is an improvement, does it matter if it came from a rich kid?

I haven't seen TiDB before - thanks for sharing. I honestly haven't spent tons of much time analyzing other databases (there are so many!) but I haven't seen much out there which tries to be "Firebase for OLAP" - that is, make it so easy that a developer who maybe doesn't have time to learn Clickhouse can be effective with it. That's the most important goal of this project: lower the barrier for people who need to use a columnar data structure to be able to do so [without thinking too much about it] and get back to solving their engineering problems.
It’s not laundering money in the criminal sense, it’s just removing restrictions and contractual limitations.

If I’m a grant giver, I want my money to go towards the consumables of research, not fund CapEx that can be used for someone else’s research. If I’m a lab, I want/need fancy and reusable equipment, which is excluded in the grant terms.

Some of the grant money goes to “university administration” (pick your term) because the university gets a cut. The university administration pays salaries, endowments, whatever with that money. They also buy that durable equipment that was excluded in the contract from their “general fund”, washing the connection to the original grant.

I'm having a hard time to articulate the exact position I'm defending. Possibly because I'm not actually all that sure of my own position, and I'm reacting more out of feelings than ratio.

Intellectual property is a bit strange, as it can be copied at zero cost and effort. If material goods could be duplicated for free we would have a decidedly different society, I think.

Going back to the example of the furniture maker. If I just copy his designs roughly but procure the wood myself, learn woodworking, put in the work to saw, sand and hammer the wood into shape, would I be in the clear? What if I copy it by carefully measuring all his dimensions? What is the difference to the furniture maker if I just magically copy his furniture instead of toiling in my workshop to recreate it?

I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure if I really agree with it. If everyone just copies everything at zero cost, no-one would make any money. But on the other hand I would never have bought any furniture from the craftsman anyway, so where is the harm?

It's a conundrum. At least for me...
For now, until content farms of chatgpt-style comments and upvotes network together.
TIL, thanks for the info
To your first two questions- I hope that with some education and hard work I'll be equipped to confidently respond! :) I thought React was a common front-end and Node.js a common backend? Perhaps that tells you just how little I know!

I used those examples based on the features I'll need in my application (webcam capture, onscreen drawing canvas, screen-capture of the sessions, storing and sending the result via email or text). I figure I'll need some front end, some back end, and some database. Again, I'm probably just revealing my own ignorance here.
I think ARM (or at least ARM64) does the trap thing too.
Once you've replaced those valve seats with hardened ones, you don't have to worry about adding lead substitute in every fill up. You do still have to worry about getting the right oil additives though, as the old flat tappet engines need more zinc than modern oil blends have in them. Ethanol in the gas is also a concern, but any conscientious classic car owner has hopefully replaced all the rubber and plastic bits in the fuel system to ethanol safe ones.

I would like to provide two quick examples.

Google Chrome is not the default browser on windows, isn’t even installed yet commands > 60% market share worldwide across all platforms, likely higher on windows.

Google Maps on iPhone has reportedly 70% market share, doesn’t come even installed.

This is not to say buying defaults is a good thing, but the premise that being default automatically commands usage and people don’t switch from default would be incorrect in these glaring examples.
This is awesome! It only takes a few minutes to get installed and running. On my M2 mac, it generates sequential images in about a second when using the continuous flag. For a single image, it takes about 20 seconds to generate due to the initial script loading time (loading the model into memory?).

I know what I'll be doing this weekend... generating artwork for my 9 yo kid's video game in Game Maker Studio!

Does anyone know any quick hacks to the python code to sequentially prompt the user for input without purging the model from memory?

Wayland has basically nothing anyone would use its merely a specification for each window manager to write their own implementation of X AND a window manager. 15 years in there is now a library or two to make it easier but its still none the less writing X + wm.

No, but yes.

They're not paying Ford for putting a Michelin tire on the vehicle, but they are likely getting an above "volume order" discount.

Similar to Search engines, how often do you hear about people changing the brand of tire on their vehicle? How often is it just "I bought another of what I already had"?

Cultural attachment to buildings there seems limited to traditional buildings (shrines, temples, etc), with the dominant attitude towards modern buildings being much more utilitarian.

In the US we don’t have much in the way of old/storied buildings, especially in the western half of the country. Maybe that’s responsible for disproportionate attachment to modern buildings.

You are correct. I suppose it is a lot more nuanced.

I believe a sound argument for copyright/DMCA would require:

1. Arguments to be made for the social utility in laws enabling such business models to exist, and

2. ethical considerations that come into play when said laws are violated (for example, a creator operating under the assumption of those laws being followed loses out on revenue when those laws are broken)

I still think there are cases to be made for both of these claims, but this might be one reason why the two sides are so at odds with each other.

Yes. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-aliens-legally-united-st...

But some of the restrictions may be on how the constitution was worded. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," implies that that person has an interest in the United States, instead of being a visitor. So only nonimmigrant visa aliens have a hard time, but there are exceptions.

Even so, law that exists does not imply that it is correct or just with other laws. The AI tool in the article or some of the restrictions are up for debate on their legality. The same way why people debate gun restrictions on their constitutionality.

This includes the IPCC report, which is fairly significant if you're a climate researcher:

> No organisation using Microsoft email services can currently send the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report of Working Group 3 as an attachment to anyone else (newclimate dot org URL appears 11 times in the report). The same applies to hundreds of other relevant scientific papers and reports from any organisations, where NewClimate URLs appear on the reference lists.

I've played around with a similar idea with a less attractive UI, using Vim or Emacs.

With sufficient adjustments, you can reduce the GUI versions of Vim or Emacs to a single line of text. That way you can just write, but can't see what you've written one it's left that line, until you expand the window to see the full document.

It gives a good sense of flow, although I find that if I'm just forcing myself to write and push forward, it's easy to get into a situation where I'm just pushing text, and not really enforcing any kind of structure on my thoughts.

It's useful to get me into a mode where I'm thinking about new stuff, but I have to be ok with producing a lot of noise that I have to sift back though. Eventually that sifting starts to wear me out.

If 90% percent of everything I write is crap, sorting back through to find the 10% that's good and useful, is more effort than I can make myself keep doing on a regular basis.
