I'm pointing to the other comments. I also try to answer question in the last paragraph.

In _general_, science is a good investment. I don't agree that there have been poor investments in Spain. Do you have numbers or reports about that?

Most cases I know are that in Spain the Big Crisis cut investment and getting stable long-term fundship is almost imposible, which makes scientists' situation very unstable. And you need long-term investments in science to make returns.

> As an obvious example, the new accelerator CERN is pushing for will have an atrocious ROI, just like most money spent on space exploration.

It's not obvious to me. The LHC and space exploration have had huge indirect returns from the technology designed around it.

I find the biggest problem with jq is that the feedback loop is not tight enough. With this jq-repl the expression is evaluated at every keystroke.

Not sure why the NTT is treated as a completely opaque transform. It’s simply the algebraic equivalent of the Fourier transform (and it’s implemented with almost exactly the same algorithms). So you are transforming between the polynomial coefficients and its evaluations on a domain.

There was a notice for a while recently (just cleared when I checked again) about general API / service problems at OpenAI. Maybe that was the problem?

Its working for me (a little bit slower than last time I used it, and doing two instead of the four images on a request that it had done previously, and both with the same expanded (compared to the request) prompt, instead of each being a different prompt expansion, so I suspect recent usage levels may have resulted in some changes to the ChatGPT image generation configuration).
It’s pretty much free to integrate Lua into a game at this point. Anything that can consume a C runtime can embed Lua scripting into itself.

As such, we’ve been seeing it as a go to scripting environment for everything from Baldur’s Gate 1, to Warcraft III, to modern titles like Roblox.
That's true, but there's ongoing work about this to add some kind of plausible deniability to all transactions.
There's also privacy coins like Monero where this problem has been solved already. Many institutions then banned Monero, but they won't be able to ban all cryptocurrencies if they get on par with Monero's privacy protecting techniques.
By the same token then you must agree that all Israelis are responsible for the horrific conditions that have prevailed in Gaza for decades, as well as the settler violence in the west bank, and apartheid.

Which is obviously not true. To say otherwise and treat Israelis or Jews as a monolithic block is one of the classic anti-semitic tropes. So why is it different when it's the Palestinians?
> First, there are widely known techniques to beat AML. Criminals use them. Using them imposes costs. So you can reduce the profitability of crime, and therefore its frequency, without catching much crime directly.

This is only reasonable if the same measures don't also impose costs on innocent people, which is not the case.

And the value of doing this operates inversely with value: The crime you deter this way is the lowest value crime which is the easiest to deter through some other means, but the innocent people you most harm are the ones already at the margin who you don't want to deter/bankrupt, but you do.

Which damages the most competitive markets with businesses that were operating with the thinnest margins and forces them to consolidate into something that can absorb the compliance cost. The cost of inducing that kind of market consolidation is enormous -- as we've seen time and again.

> Secondly, one of the goals of AML regulations is to make it easy to construct a money laundering case against a criminal caught another way. This is kind of like putting Al Capone in jail for tax evasion. Tax evasion isn't why you want him in jail, it is just the thing you can convict him of. Prosecutors see value in these easy convictions.

Undoubtedly the lobby in favor of AML laws is lazy prosecutors who can't be bothered to prove their case honestly and would rather have a vague law that causes common behavior to be a chargeable violation. But that purposeful subversion of the rule of law isn't a legitimate reason even if it wasn't imposing major costs on innocent people.

JSONpath and jmespath are objectively worse than the jq language though, as you can only query, but jq also allows for very powerful transformations.

As for learning it, it's the same with any tool, key is repetition and regular use.

That's why you use monitor and alerting, so you notice degraded performances before the pods is crawling to a halt.

You need to do it anyway because a service might progressively need more resources as it's getting more traffic, even if you're not adding any other pod.

>my friends circle was composed of indians, malaysians, irish, italians, and chineses.

I used to live in the USA, and as a foreigner I too found an international circle like this to be the most enjoyable. It was easy to come by in the US though. Now I'm doing a PhD in Germany, and the research group is like this, however I've yet to find such group elsewhere, given I very recently got here and havent explored that much yet.

Do you think the natives are like that among themselves too? I'm surprised to hear this about NL. Shame.

how was your time in Germany and the UK if you dont mind me asking?
I use the new AI tool daily. Great fan. But I really could do without the patronizing messages that my requests do not comply to their high moral values. Man, I've got a work to do, if I can't use the work you produce for me, I won't use it.

This is going to end in the same way. You do something in game, that is totally innocent, and a pop-up will descend claiming you are a bad egg, and please stop doing this.

Oh, and while we are ranting. If you ask an AI for a recipe including glue and cleaning supplies. Don't be surprised the AI answers in the same vein as your playful request. The answer here is: don't ask for stupid things. The answer should not be: Let's lobotomize the net a bit further with another layer of RLHF.
Considering the average age of the car fleet in the US and Europe is around 12 years - that seems like a decent estimate.

Obviously there are many cars older than 12 years old on the road, but 80-90% of cars switching to electric within 10-15 years is not unrealistic if new sales are already 17% (and growing).

I recommend that you, for example, look into the very recent attack on the Russian Jabber service that was talked about here a lot a couple of weeks back.

Companies, doesn't even have to be the CA themselves, are very easy to coerce into doing the governments bidding, and it doesn't even have to be the entire company, just one person is enough, it's just a change in law that most outside of IT circles support, and it's already law in many, many places.

Like it or not, country level domains are already under the control of their respective country.

And PKI is enabling this coercion, it simply wouldn't be possible if we didn't place trust on these third parties, and place our trust in them all the time, that's a 3 months maximum wait.

As for "bootstrapping" trust, your first connection is always going to be about trust unless you have a side channel to provide you trust (basics of encrypted communications), so trusted CAs are in no way special here, I would much prefer if this trust was provided by say Debian, as it provides the software I'm running. I even much more trust a first connection validity vouched for by an actual government, especially say from Finland than I would trust one vouched for by just some random company.

As for tofu, you do realise attacking it requires capturing and changing ALL traffic, forever, to be effective, as as even though SSH doesn't do it, it's super easy to add forward secrecy to it with a signature update mechanism.

And once you have tofu, you are set. If you can compromise that channel you can also compromise PKI.

PKI is strictly worse than TOFU.

Random company CAs are strictly worse than governments themselves vouching for connections.

PKI is CIAs wet dream.

> Years in, how much do you think school long ago vs on-the-job experience informs behavior?

It's not medical school that makes the difference, it's residency, which is > 10,000 hours of on-the-job experience, more or less in an apprenticeship model.

Sure, a nurse can accumulate 10,000 hours of on-the-job experience experience as well, but it doesn't translate when that experience is doing a completely different set of tasks.

Working right next to each other doesn't change things. If a concert violinist and a concert pianist play in the same orchestra for 30 years, does that raise the concert pianist's violin ability to professional level?

I work with nurses every day. They ask questions about treatment plans that, if a resident with more than 3 months experience were to ask me the same question, I would have serious concerns. It's not because the nurses are stupid; it's because they don't have > 10,000 hours formulating treatment plans and (critically) being held accountable for those plans, as a residency graduate does. They see the recipes, but they don't understand how the ingredients are put together.
I'd argue that crafting interpreters is becoming dated as well. There are modern alternatives that could make the process a lot more streamline. Would love a rewrite!
I'm always open to discuss any security concerns, which are based on technology. However, you started here from the toxic biased comments. If my company is 3yo, I can't make it 10yo in one day, obviously, so there's no point to discuss it seriously. The age of the company is not an objective security criteria for an engineer, that's why I referred you to the CircleCI security breche.

Regarding the paper work, it's to be done yet. New company can't start from applying for ISO 9002. If you would like to discuss the technical security aspects of the solution (there are many), you're welcome to my DM or to the channel in Discord.
That is why talking is important. Get all (or a good sample of all) the people who are going to use your software and discuss a draft/UI mockup. Get them in the mood where they go wild and creative and spit out all kind of ideas. Rinse and repeat till you get a coherent picture and a list of likely additional requirements. Add potential future requirements that you could think of and keep them in the back of your mind. When everything is done you can offer those.

This might not catch all the surprise requirements, but it might catch the worst ones.

A sure way to get surprised is to do the opposite:

- don't talk to the people who use your software, but some middle-men

- just take the customers first idea as gospel and assume they disected the problem space themselves

- keep everything constrained and never let anybody get wild or crazy with ideas

- don't anticipate potential future requirements and don't let them influence your decisions ever

Of course those things don't come for free, but it is important to realize that the initial phase of a project is crucial also for the impression your shop will leave behind. If people feel they have been heared and had a chance to come to a shared understanding with you, they are less likely to view your software in an unfairly harsh light later on. They will remember this and will hire you for the next thing.
> assume ... there are TLDs that are both accessible and reasonably insulated from governmental privacy interference

Would be nice if the root servers delegated some TLDs to various experimental projects like blockchain-based name systems and OpenNIC and such (i.e. making domains under those TLDs resolvable for everyone).
Journals aren't intended to be pefect and only filled with papers that are never disputed or exposed as wrong.

There are ways of estimating percentages of bad papers, just as there are ways of estimating subsets of other populations.

This is science working as intended - the good reproducable work advances on the strength of the good papers and the bad papers fall away from lack of follow on.
Two catches I could see:

* Great if you can do everything natively in Go, loses advantages and I suspect gets somewhat cumbersome if you have to shell out.

* Harder to inspect on target system. If I encounter a random shell script someone left on a server, I can read it; with a binary I'd have to hope I can find the source.

Otherwise... yeah, that seems reasonable, and if you're already good at Go, sensible.
> could exception handling be implemented with this?

Yes.

> if so would that make the exception handling proposal superfluous?

The exception handling proposal is a subset of this proposal. This proposal doesn't replace it, it completes it.
What's remarkable are polls that show Gazaoui's support of Hamas. Each time it goes bellow 30%, somehow Israel kill some people (90% triggered by Hamas attacks, but last time it was march and protests, which muddy the narrative, especially when a nurse get sniped), and Hamas get over 60% support.

And what's funny is that Hamas is the richest in the area. Hamas received more money in the Gaza strip, directly from the Qatar and under the supervision of the Israeli army than all NGO working in both Palestines. They still managed to have less popular support than Fatah. With 30 millions a month.
6 minutes seems awfully short, I havent practiced meditation for a long time but my sessions where 20, 30 or 60 minutes long, it takes time for the mind to settle down and to benefit fully from flowing consciousness.

"If you think that talking to a compassionate human is a core part of the banking experience, there are many banks in Iowa who will sell that service to you. If you simply want to access your money on your phone and have that almost always work, Cash App will happily operate as a front end over Lincoln Savings Bank to make that happen."

As someone living in Iowa, I can confirm this is true and also less effective. I bank at Chase because a straight forward "no" or clear process is so much more efficient and effective than a "nice person trying to help". People in Iowa hate that truth, but waste so much time listening and passing people around to solve a problem that should be resolved with a clear answer.
If you are talking about things like the garbage collection, yes, but this proposal is trivial to implement.

I do think I'm as good as someone could reasonably be at getting the actual devs the info they need and then getting the hell out of their way. I chalk it up to the study and note taking habits I myself have, since I often leave my side projects lying around for months at a time between donors.

Maybe that's why I ended up here. Maybe getting 5 folks like you from 10% to 12% coding time makes a bigger difference than adding my own 10% to the pile :(

What I could never understand is why limiting the scope of root certificates is not a standard feature? Why cannot I set a whitelist of domains for the specific root certificate and expect the connection to fail when this root is used for anything else?
There is a big gap between fantasy and reality, and you seem to be stuck in the abyss. "Understand the rhetoric" works in an infinite number of ways - your complete and immutable faith in your own glib hate-train is just one of them.
Just came back from Shanghai, same situation, BUT from talking to people there are three big reasons for that:

1. The government built the EV charger infrastructure so that even the remotest areas are covered, the chargers have one universal way to use them and you can't go far without seeing one

2. In big cities China made car registration much more expensive for non-EVs

3. Prices of EVs in china are much lower than anywhere in the world

None of these apply for Europe or US, and I am doutbful they can make a swift transition like China can.

I mean, if you have MFE prerequisites then sure. The prerequisites for modern financial engineering is having a good handle on probability theory and in particular stochastic calculus.

It would also depend on the program. Baruch is more for quant strats and wants to send people to option market makers/funds or to banks to sell derivatives. Something like Carnegie Mellon MSCF(Computational Finance) is more oriented to send people to Bridgewater or AQR, which run systematic strats(risk parity, factor, alternative risk premia, portable alpha, etc.).
All cultures have their variant. Its my belief that this primal instinct to consume those who achieve more than average is derived from our ancient history as cannibals.

This is often quoted advice, but like many things it’s only true in moderation. People who take it too literally come across like therapists or interviewers. Some people are not comfortable talking about themselves, and most well adjusted people don’t want to talk endlessly about themselves. A good conversation should usually be an exchange.
