Not a billionaire, but of course this would be great. Are there good suggestions on how to do that without paying the university overhead AND being tax advantaged ?

I cannot just go and give Professor X $10K to do this research and claim a tax writeoff.

Are there existing nonprofits who do this ?

Are there Howtos on setting up such nonprofits ?

Genuinely interested. Not just for academia, even for open source. I can donate to the FSF, but if I want more people improving/maintaining emacs or vim and those people get paid for it, that's probably not the way, as the FSF does not do this sort of thing, I believe.

I have such immense disdain for Capital One and MasterCard for how they implement 3DS.

I have been in Germany for 6 weeks. I have spent thousands of dollars between flights, train tickets, and hotels. Guess what I have to do every, single, time I buy a 3EUR train ticket? Receive an SMS on my American cellphone number.

Their "solution" is to have a family member in the US add their number to my account, wake up in the middle of the night and relay TOTP codes to me. FOR A 3EUR TRAIN TICKET. Multiple times a day. From the same damn train company.

I'm willing to pay $1000 yearly fee for a competent credit card company that sends me TOTPs over Email (just like they send me charges [but of course, not refunds/canceled-authorizations]). Or let's me use a Security Key.

The funny thing is, they happily text these codes to VOIP SMS numbers, which I can (and do) route to my email anyway.

It's abusrd that my Xbox account is both more secure and less annoying to use than my credit card. Again, for a 3EUR train ticket. I feel like we're slowly entering this dystopia Kafque-esk nightmare, and yet, as always, there's people in the comments here insisting this is fine, or that I deserve it.

I'm going to assume the people saying "use cash" have never set foot into the real world. Yes, let me put cash into the non-existent train ticket machines, or to the non-existent train attendants. In the 3 minutes I have before my train comes.
Absolutely. The HDMI port on the 2021 models doesn’t even support 4K60 at 10 bit (HDR); the USB-C/TB/DisplayPort ports can supply much more.

They could have fit two in the space of the HDMI port!

At least on the 2023 models the native HDMI port can do something that’s not possible using adapters yet (i.e. output HDMI VRR, which is somewhat important if Apple really wants to make gaming on macOS a thing).
Intel doesn't think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market
Yeah, I witnessed this as well.

macOS too, at least previous version (not sure if still). I know this from installing a Pineapple (which has the same feature [1]) and seeing my SSID from home in it while the machine was at that point connected to wired, and not at home at all. This was approx 4 years ago, a few months before Covid pandemic.

Either way, don't have Auto Join on. And, wired as much as possible. I guess in some point in future we only end up using mmWave and no more 2.4 GHz.

[1] Nowadays you can do this too with a Flipper Zero e.g. with wlan dev board.

Because most of the peerages automatically extinguish in certain situations (e.g. no male heir, no heir at all, or sometimes if their holder is King / Queen), they will gradually die out over a long period. This is also a sign that they're not a modern (or even modernised) institution.

Chrome-based Edge really was a good browser. But they have loaded it up with so much junk now. You have to disable so many things to get it to a usable state.

Although, I did discover it is more efficient on low-end hardware than other browsers. I recently had to make an emergency laptop purchase on vacation. I picked up a cheap laptop with a Celeron CPU and 4GB Ram. Firefox was incredibly slow and almost unusable. I switched to Edge and it performed significantly better and used less RAM. I really was amazed at how much better it performed.
I think I feel the same way. I would absolutely love to be able to look at a graph of my blood pressure over time, but it would probably be terrible if I could see it realtime on my wrist.

In some European countries, PhD students are paid a salary equivalent to a middle-class income in that country, and PhD slots are already few. Nevertheless, even there there is the same grant culture that everyone is complaining about here. I don’t see how the three things you propose would fix things.
On the Basher/Swooper working style, I believe there value for each type to incorporate a little of the other type. Through most of my education, I was a Basher. I didn't write drafts, I wrote start to finish, but it was never as good as I'd wished.

Later in life I began to deliberately practice some of the Swooper techniques, and my writing got more satisfying.

It's possible the difference is somewhat generational as well, because the Basher style is suitable for writing with the somewhat cranky typewriter on paper, because rework is harder. Today, it's almost trivial to mix and mash our writing because all it takes is ctrl-C ctrl-V.

Unless you're William S. Burrows, in which case, just don't get too near me with those scissors. https://www.faena.com/aleph/cut-up-the-creative-technique-us...

Next.js 14: Turbopack Isn't Turbopacking
Fellow Basher here. I’ve heard the advice to “just get it all on the page and edit later” so many times and it has never really made sense to me. I write something like Shlemiel the painter’s algorithm from this old Joel on Software article [0]. Write a bit, reread everything, tweak, write some more, reread everything again, tweak. The re-reading cycles aren’t always back to the very beginning, sometimes it’s just the current paragraph or sentence. But I’d definitely say I edit as I go. I’ve tried not doing this, but I never get very far with that before it starts to stress me out that the writing isn’t coming out right.

And then afterwards, read the thing another 50 times just in case, especially if it’s an email.

And they get paid way less than a Pharmacist does. Some of the nurses that I have met who helped me take care of my father, and the ones who help take care of my grandmother now are some of the most patient, amazing people I have ever met in my life. I don't know how they do it, dealing with cranky-ass people all the time, working long shifts... and here I sit on a computer all day, in my own house, drinking coffee, listening to music, making way more than them. It's kinda fucked up.
> That doesn't seem true, I can easily imagine an app that's based on Firefox but can still cause a WebKit page to open, you just need a system API that uses WebKit.

It's still not using two different browser engines for the same purpose. This is no different than having two different apps that each use a different browser engine. The attacker needs the app to be using the exploitable browser engine in the context where they can deliver an attack payload, not in some other context.

You can also improve this situation for system APIs by making the API open the page using the user's default browser instead of one hard-coded by the system or the app.

> That's not how the app update lifecycle works, they're all independent. (Otherwise they'd break a lot more easily.)

Breakage isn't common when systems implement this properly. When you get the new version of libssl from apt, all the packages that depend on it get updated and it's unusual for any of them to break.
Bitcoiners argue that you need to count the cost of the US military in that calculation, as the force which ultimately secures the value of the US dollar. You can't carve out "printing money" as the only impact.

Professors - particularly newly hired ones, need to spend almost all their time selling. Between that and teaching courses, they have little time for research. That's off loaded to their grad students.

When I was in grad school, the refrain of "I'm not going to become a professor because I actually want to do research" is common. They usually try to go to national labs, etc instead.

No, because there needs to be Starlink receivers on the ground and Gaza is still under a brutal Israeli siege with nothing coming in or out. They also don’t have the regular power to run a receiver.

I think a bigger “legitimate” factor is craft culture.

Because of the industry’s recent rapid growth wave, the approach experienced older developers take to the craft is often very different than what’s trendy among younger developers and teams where they dominate, and there’s easily a clash where both think the others’ approach is totally bonkers and a red flag.

Somebody seeking a job may know or believe they can adapt, but the hiring team just sees an outsider and assumes the outsider doesn’t know how to do things “right”.

This applies to skilled young developers trying to break into “old school” teams in defense/enterprise/industrial/etc as much as to older developers trying to keep up with youth-dominated FAANG and imitators, but it’s tolerated in the former but can get labelled as ageism in the latter.
I feel like the current administration could have handled things in such a way as to not look so... eager for blood?

And sure, neither side is an angel but not supporting genocide or terrorism either way and supporting a ceasefire or at least condemning the violence on both sides is a legitimate stance to take and the US didn't even go that far.
These things are kind of orthogonal. OpenBSD maybe gets there eventually.

OpenBSD is like a very hardened safe, made of steel and huge bolts and locks. Very polished, very smooth and hard surface.

MAC/RBAC is like having security officers, interviews, checking of IDs, filling in forms and getting an OK from ones boss before performing work someplace in the building and so on.

Both these things can be good. But OpenBSD was always about making a small system as hardened as possible. Evidently, they aren't completely done yet with making the core as hardened as possible.

Windows has great architecture, but lacks instead severerly this hardness which OpenBSD possesses. What use is MAC/RBAC if someone can gain kernel access with a 0 day exploit?
I was at a talk at 3Com by an MIT professor that Metcalfe knew. He made the old joke that "academic politics are so vicious because nothing's at stake."

The prof said, "that depends on whether you consider reputation 'nothing'. "

So there you have your reason: anyone whose livelihood depends solely on the good opinion of others is likely to have low moral standards.
It was given back to the original developer. But nobody is willing to invest in getting it to market.

My friend had never written anything more than an Excel formula a few months ago and now he's using GPT-4 to write very nontrivial Python applications and automate large parts of his job.

I (having 30 years experience as a professional Software Developer^TM) am begging him to teach me his techniques.

Now that you mention it, I met him and we became friends in large part due to his communications abilities.
The absence of LCP reporting doesn’t affect your ability to build a website that works in Safari. My suggestion is to stop embedding eighteen third party performance metric platforms and your website will be faster than any of those platforms could ever make it.

I work in this field too and I’ve heard it all before — and 99% of it is bullshit. Web performance is a solved problem and has been for a decade, unless you build some ridiculous Rube Goldberg machine of libraries atop libraries.

But contrary to legend, it appears that said scroll did not represent the first draft, but the final product of numerous editing iteration.

You're probably right, and this underscores the point even more as it means it pays even more than $5.90/user/year, and gets even more ad revenue than $47.30/user/year.

> because you don't pay the hospital large amount ahead, and when it's time there's not enough time to wire the money.

This was their justification against wire transfers. Obviously I don't know how the accounts receivable department works in Indian hospitals because I've never been to India let alone a hospital there, but this strikes me as unusual. A couple days delay to pay large sums of money seems more than reasonable.

>How many years until cops use drones and very fast robotic dogs to chase and apprehend people?

I'd go farther than that. I'd wager that within 10 years, someone will have been shot by a mostly autonomous drone operated by a police unit somewhere. An operator will have had a approve the shot. We are probably 20-30 years from fully autonomous takedown of terrorists.
There are a few devices that are cleared for cufflessly measuring bp, but that’s only been in the past few years.

Anything worn on the wrist is going to be sensitive to noise either from motion or from varying amounts of light getting to the ppg sensor.

It’s not a game changer yet. Partly because of those problems, partly because there aren’t established norms for what to do with more bp data.

All that’s getting better though, I think it’ll make a difference in the next 5-10y.
Not the same (it’s a debit card), but when Schwab locked my debit card after I tried to buy a transport pass in Poland, a quick phone call got me a human who apologized, put a travel alert on my account, and gave me $50 for the inconvenience.

Yes. To clarify, it's completely reasonable to pay someone working 30 hours a week less, it's even okay to pay them less per hour. Make an offer!

A problem is that almost nobody will offer any salary at all to a nurse willing to work 30 hours per week. It's a testament to the flexibility of our market, or the lack thereof.

If a nurse is willing to perform 30 hours of skilled labor and our economy cannot extract any value from that, what does that say about our economy?
It's garbage, yes, but all these companies overhired for years and it was a no-brainer that they all needed to fix that. Hard to criticize that decision in principle. Though the execution of it seemed like a clown show.

The next step in the arms race is to provide hosted ad blocking, where the action happens (however nested) in a headless server and an AI looks it over and relays only the stuff that looks like content into a cleaned up session for the user. It would eventually start looking like a CDN where the ad blocker caches the content so it doesn't have to bother contacting the underlying site so often.

I would pay for such a service.
Yeah. Reminds me of Microsoft people saying the iPhone isn't going anywhere in 2007.

I'm still running a 2010 MacBook Pro because I wasn't ever going to upgrade when the only options were still Intel. ARM just makes the most sense right now, whether running macOS or BSD.

Even if I wanted or needed x86, I can't think of a single reason why I'd ever choose Intel over AMD. Intel can play their games of costing 300 watts to get a few percent higher framerates in games, but I'm more than happy to have something that's slightly slower and takes a non-trivial amount less power.
I get a lot of mileage out of ChatGPT just treating it like an intern who turns around work instantly. You don't expect interns to write perfect code, but they can save you a ton of time if you set them loose on the right problems.

For any relatively simple task I can say "Write a Python script to do X" and it will almost always spit out working code, even if it has subtle mistakes. Fixing mistakes is fine and part of the process. I don't have to read StackOverflow posts saying "Do you really want to do X?", or sift through documentation that follows the author's approach of how they want to introduce the material but doesn't directly address my question.

> Deliver your site only to the "inner browser" (that the user has no control over because it's heavily obfuscated and tricked-out with anti-debugging code) and you eliminate all ad blockers. Throw some DNS-over-HTTPS w/ certificate pinning in for good measure and you kill DNS-based ad blockers too.

I'm confused how the "inner browser" meaningfully helps you accomplish this. How is this any easier or more effective than just having a website that hosts its own advertising assets (or proxies them) and obfuscates/randomizes its DOM structure to make ads difficult to target with simplistic ad-blocking rules?
I got an Apple Card, tried buying NextDNS with it, it declined for fraud detection 9 times over a few weeks(and I manually and immediately approved the transaction after each one and also called them around the 4th time). I asked Goldman sacks , they said NextDNS is not ESG enough or some such trash.

Yeah, I think we should be worried.

i think it had a corp dns label but i'm fuzzy on that. yes it could've been a prod instance which would mean you'd need to go to panic room in case corp was down but maybe that was the intention.
