> but because when something believed to be true for a long time is invalidated it can cause problems for a lot of other research that was built off those lies,

Most of the examples of flawed research (e.g. Thenaros; single-factor treatments of cancer/aging/neurodegeneration (e.g. Aβ*56, telomeres); those MMR vaccine claims in 1998) were known to be erroneous by experts in the field long before they were officially debunked.

Some of them have yet to be officially debunked (e.g. Sigmund Freud's theories of psychosexual development; the high-/low-functioning autism distinction; "ABA is harmless and curative"; Blanchard's typology; most use of revealed preference theory; "React is fast"), so many outsiders (e.g. people who decide who gets grant funding) still consider their advocates experts in their respective fields – but the claimed results are just so obviously wrong that they're ignored wherever you can get away with ignoring them.

Academic science is eventually correct, but sometimes it takes a long time getting there. Even so, you can usually tell the difference between "academia knows this" and "academia claims this but something went wrong": all the examples I've given are of the same, largely-social, phenomenon.
> Wolfram stumbled upon something quite profound that (from my perspective) is under appreciated by the majority of working physicists and mathematicians:
Computation arises from very simple axiomatic systems

I disagree that his work offers profound new insights or that it has gone underappreciated.

Many mathematicians have explored the connections between computation, logic and formal systems for decades. I also take issue with the assertion that physicists have somehow "forgotten" or failed to appreciate these ideas within computer science. Many physicists are well versed in computational and information-theoretic concepts. The idea that simple rules can give rise to complex emergent behaviors is far from a new revelation.

Furthermore, Wolfram does not give due credit to this rich body of prior work. He presents his perspectives as groundbreaking discoveries, without properly acknowledging similar perspectives developed by others. This is not how science works.
~10 watts into a dipole is plenty for both CW and modern data modes. SSB is harder but still doable. ARRL is right it probably limits its use for emergency interop, and I do support their proposal to keep the 100w limit. However, if the FCC goes with its original proposal I won't lose any sleep. Perhaps it can be a haven for QRP operations. The propagation on 60m is quite good day and night.
You’re right, but they degrade in a different way. Presuming you don’t abnormally damage it in some way, you’d only expect to get a few hundred plays out of a record before it starts to noticeably degrade. By 1000 plays you’d expect it to be very noticeably degraded.

They missed an opportunity to compare microdosing psychedelics like LSD with the amphetamine class stimulants. Many users report that psychedelics do have interesting cognitive effects related to enhanced creativity and making long-range connections between disparate subjects, though I'm not sure it would help with knapsack optimization.

As others note, the ADHD-type drugs just let you work longer without needing sleep, although the bill must eventually be paid with interest, which is why people who take a lot of stimulants tend to go through boom-bust cycles over time. Such drugs also have a kind of jangly nervous side effect which inhibits the creation of complex mental architectures of the kind that mathematicians rely on, so I'm not surprised by the study's results. They're more suited to rote learning (unfortunately common in today's academia) and repetitive tasks (factory work etc.).

I took a break from software to complete a masters degree in ecology a little while ago and loved it. So much potential for software to improve that field.

Saying Goodbye to OpenSubtitles.org API
This is a hard reality I am learning right now.

At my previous company I had an amazing team that was very intrinsically motivated, they needed me to generally protect them from politics, participate in planning, and stay out of the way. They delivered wonderful results and saved our employer a lot of money. I would have considered myself “an engineer focused leader”.

New spot has challenged my identity a lot. I was expecting to come in and essentially do the same and it turned out the culture and people are almost completely different. My team needs a lot of performance management and cajoling to stay focused and deliver. For the first year I tried to be understanding, lead gently, and avoid awkward conversations, but I suspect my team was savvy to this and has weaponize my empathy a bit. I am now stuck in an awkward situation where I need essentially change who I am to the team and I don’t totally know how to do that gracefully.

This is 100% a problem of my own making. I am still figuring out how far I want to personally adopt a more “company focused vs person focused” mindset.

The CRT effect makes a night-and-day difference. The art was not designed with perfect, crisp square pixels in mind at all. You can reproduce the effect in Dosbox with Auto-CRT; if you're so inclined, eXoDOS just released v6 a few weeks ago which bundles CRT shader configurations for every single game in the collection. Or if you know how to use ReShade.

Ironically, you would need something like an 8K display at 144Hz+ to fully reproduce the visual effect of a CRT, which basically doesn't exist yet. But even with just 4K the filters make a huge, huge difference.
NP-complete just means that it’s very difficult to verify that any solution is the best possible solution. It’s very easy to compare any two attempts at a solution. That’s what the researchers did, they saw that the knapsacks from the drugged attempts were worse than placebo
The problem is, just having TSMC not provide ICs for a couple of months would probably rip world economy apart. Yes, I think the west can absolutely pick up where TSMC right now is.

Isn't the point of doing that to get better results?

I mean, imagine if without drugs I can do a hard slog through the books for 6 hours before giving up; and with drugs I can spend 12 hours anxiously bouncing between tasks and feeling very busy; but I actually learn more by doing the former than the latter - nobody taking study drugs is hoping to spend twice as long for worse results.

After what.cd died, I used Google Play Music for a long time before Google discontinued the product. I stumbled around a bunch of streaming music services and have been disappointed ever since. Streaming services have a terrible UX. Some artists are completely missing from the services. I often find one of my favourite artists has released a new album, but I end up finding this from third party sources. Scrolling through the library is incredibly slow because of infinite scroll and no concept of a local library. Lyrics don't always work and if they do it's always presented in a big font with no way to change it. I could go on and on.

I'm now transitioning to my own curated music library and I'm currently running Navidrome on my home NAS. It has a Subsonic API that I use with Strawberry, a player which is reminiscent of Amarok - my favourite music player ever. New releases are tracked by Muspy. I subscribe to a bunch of blogs and subreddits to discover new music. Works well for me but I imagine it's not for everyone.

Being from the midwest, I have had sweet breads and blood sausage, both, but never, ever, ever anywhere close to as good as at the Jewel.

I’ve some some but they definitely got quieter after the war crimes became public and especially when the Trump-wing of the Republican staked out that position loudly enough that they couldn’t ignore it. Some of them were tankies[1] but most were aligned with the American Green Party, and definitely consider themselves leftists even though their primary function is helping right-wingers get elected. Most of what I saw was conspiratorial: laundered talking points about how Ukraine’s leaders are corrupt and in league with bankers and Biden, the atrocities were exaggerated or faked, etc. This was never more than a quickly-rejected fringe anywhere I’ve seen it but it was definitely real and in a couple of cases from people who’d been there for a long time so I don’t think it was some kind of troll operation — more like how GamerGate had a few communities saying “I knew he was always a bit weird and edgy but I didn’t realize just how deeply he hated women”.

I guess. I think of it more like overriding an existing thing with another for a given scope/time/test, whereas this is providing an implementation for a thing which exists only as a stub.

Maybe it 'counts', I'm not meaning to be picky about the term, my point is more like even if this works by monkeypatching, I wouldn't personally use the term for the product which does something else by those means, if that makes sense? MonkeyLLM or MonkAIpatch or something, sure.

The other comment with a 'list comprehension' example puts it well I think.

(Seeing as you asked for name suggestions elsewhere, I think I prefer the 'stub' theme: Stubby, StubAI, Stubmonkey if you like monkeys/wanted an easier logo, something like that.)

As you say, can openers came along relatively late in the game (patented in the 1850s).

ADHD !=dumb but it does make you terrible at studying a broad range of subject's you aren't interested in.
I take ADHD meds and find that it definitely dulls my thinking and creative problem solving, but it at least gives me the motivation to actually write code vs. do nothing.

Ideally, I’d have unmedicated days where I just sit and think through problems, and then medicated days where I’d work on the actual implementation. Unfortunately, I just spend all of my time on HN and youtube on my unmedicated days.
Realistically I think the only way to create verifiably-human-made digital content is basically a end to end chain of trusted computing DRM from keyboard or camera lens to final product, which seems dystopian in its own way, impractical, and a high value target for people to try to bypass.
> the data gets written only once

This is essentially never true. It _could_ be true if you disabled many safety features in an RDBMS, but you then lose ACID guarantees.

MySQL (with InnoDB), for example, undergoes the following for an INSERT/UPDATE:

1. Write current state of pages to the undo log

2. Write changes to the buffer pool

3. Write changes to the redo log

4. Write changes to the binary log

5. Write changes to the double write buffer

6. Write changes to disk

There are a dizzying amount of variables affecting each of those, including delays, maximum allowable size, sync/async flushing, outright disabling of some steps (most commonly the double write buffer – which is only safe for CoW filesystems like ZFS – but you can also disable the redo log if you really want to), etc.

To your point of writes to disk, most (all?) of the disk writes are batched. Even if InnoDB wasn't doing so, the kernel can and will batch writes on its own.

> so there is never a time when the database can be inconsistent

If the hardware suffers a failure during a write, inconsistency can occur. This is precisely why the double write buffer (for InnoDB) and full page writes (for Postgres) exist. Also, the hardware usually reports back that it's flushed before it's actually done durably written it. If you have SSDs with Power Loss Protection capacitors, this isn't a problem, but no consumer drives that I'm aware of have those.

> downside with many storage engines is that an entire row must be read and rewritten

Actually, it can be even worse than this: if you're using UUIDv4 (or anything else random) as your PK, any UPDATE on more than one row is going to touch _a lot_ of pages. All of those pages have to be written out. This affects not only RDBMS with clustered indices (InnoDB, SQL Server) but also Postgres due to its WAL. Changing one byte can result in a 16 KiB (InnoDB) or 8 KiB (Postgres) write, which is quite a bit of amplification.
Soulseek still exists and works well.
With an automatic system, what will actually happen is even more algorithmic bureaucracy, and real people being banned for false positives or for using any ML-assisted techniques at all. These algorithms are snake oil, there's simply no real way to detect it reliably. Youtube is enough of a dumpster fire already and its automated systems are being exploited left and right.

Don't make any mistakes, this requirement is meant to cover Youtube's ass, not to do anything useful to you. How it will be enforced is entirely up to them. I suspect it will be much closer to "occasionally banning someone to appease the outraged crowd" rather than to "algorithmic banhammer".

> Most of today's popular music is heavily computer based.

Hence my worry that I am gatekeeping.

For example in 2007, making good sounding music required at least a studio. If you wanted to record 4 microphones at the same time, you needed expensive hardware.

Doing any kind of music editing required a huge machine and expensive software with expensive plugins.

Now I can mix and apply effects in real time to 24 tracks and have a video reference. With this I can add a track by humming out a line.

I'm less worried about "music like they used too" modern music has always, and will always be shit, according to old people.
