> Until grants explicitly grant money for an independent lab to reproduce the research they are paying for (effectively almost doubling the grant amount)

I think a lot of money would be saved by avoiding researchers to waste resources in dead ends, by trying to build upon results that can't be reproduced. So not exactly double.
I wish in the US women had this opportunity too. It's crazy that women are forced to work in the US because without a dual income, a family can't survive.

The F-16 is not used for CAS because it would be shot down by ground arms fire when the A-10 would continue flying, and flying the F-16 high enough to avoid ground arms fire made it lousy at CAS:

The F-22 is labelled as a multirole fighter. Its ability to handle other roles is limited, and its main role is not needed. You claimed that the F-35 is good at air superiority as a way of demonstrating its value, but the F-22's discontinuation demonstrated that a fighter for that role is not needed. Consequently, the F-35 theoretical competence in air superiority is not in any way an indicator of its value.

That said, the F-35's ability to handle all roles seems limited. It tries to be able to do so many roles that all of its competencies are handicapped. That is why it has criticism as being a jack of all trades. If it were multirole in the sense that the F-22 is multirole, it would not have that criticism. :/

I agree with you politically and spiritually.

However, Patrick Mackenzie is a person of the highest calibre (see, e.g., this: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-story-of-vaccinateca/).

There is a need for laws, and there is a need for laws that respect freedom. As of 2023, the details of how a freedom-respecting social system would work have only been scantily developed.

If men like patio11 aren't convinced by the pro-freedom case, why would anyone else be?

The libertarian movement has supported many bad actors. Cryptography has supported many evil acts. Libertarianism is not bad and cryptography is not evil; but no-one serious will follow us until we clean up our act.

Amazing project, and sorry to hear about your daughter. I wore a back brace from age 4 until ~10, when my scoliosis curvature took a turn for the worse. They did surgery on me back then (27-28 years ago now) and put a stainless steel (or titanium im not sure) rod on my spine and fused it. I've been stuck at 5'1" since age 11, and have had to deal with some teasing about my height, but otherwise I've been able to have a good career in software and tech.

I too believe in climate change, but there is an insane amount of FUD and missinfo supporting it. I have seen so many smart and detail oriented people become more skeptical over time due to sloppy facts or "well intended" lies.

The latest fad seems to be making claims are specific weather events are attributable to climate change using methods that would make any real statistician scream.

Yes. That's a good plan. Call it transformation and count the progress in percents :)

There are other things need to consider though.
Sunlight is important. While sleeping it must be dark, but when it's wake up time, you need light. So, if you cover your windows/ use a jealousy, you can stop with that. Or buy yourself a "light Alarm clock". The next thing is, it needs time. You have to consider, it's not just "my brain". It's rather all the hormones and stuff, which have to be changed. So be patient and try to enjoy you on your way of transformation :)

I just dont see how starlink makes money in the long term, without massive government subsidy like Iridium gets. Elon's seeming unwillingness to play nice with the federal government in regards to this harms Starlink's ongoing viability.

Technically, it's a pretty neat trick - architecturally, it works just like any cellular network, except the power is moving, not the subscriber.
Sorry, I mean, browsers today ship with a list of sites that specify a cert that must be in the chain for it to be considered valid, e.g., only trust a facebook.com cert if it's from XYZ CA.

Depending on the wording of the law, it seems like it could require browsers to ignore this requirement for government issued certificates, hence bypassing the cert pinning and allowing them to intercept traffic to e.g., Facebook.

I'm not sure how many sites do this, I think Google's own do, and maybe some of the other big names use it as well, but I'm not certain.
> There were decades where the temperate never rose.

What, you expect a perfect line without variation? Accumulating a lot of cumulative temperature increase is the signal we're looking for...

> The goal post keeps moving and we still aren't under water.

Significant sea level rise has always been decades out.

You look back to early 80's papers, and the consensus was that you'd get 13-55cm of sea level rise by 2025; we've gotten about 15cm (a bit above the low end of the range), but the current slope is now pretty close to the middle of the range.

Not pc98 but speaking of obscure(at least in the US) Japanese hardware it makes me think of the luna88k. And the only reason I know it exists is that there is an openbsd port for it. and as far as I can tell one single heroic individual who spends a couple days each release making sure it still compiles on the one single machine that is actually running luna88k openbsd. The couple of days being how long it takes to compile openbsd on 1992 hardware.

Really it is very inspiring.

Completely agree doesn't change misappropriation.

But his misappropriation came out ahead, instead of "blowing it".

So in the end, probably no lesson was learned.
People keep pointing that out as a counterargument but it's really suspicious when F-35A availability rates drops below that of an F-22 Raptor after only a few years and the annual flying hours for a five year old F-35A drops to that of a 15 year old F-22.

Those metrics might make sense for an F-35C with VTOL but the USAF workhorse variant performing worse than our air superiority fighter? That's shit and we shouldn't be trying to paper it over with "it takes time to work up planes to full capacity." F-35s were supposed to be better because the maintenance burden of the F-22 was too much.

The F-22 entered production in 2001 and Lockheed delivered the last one in 2012 while the F-35 entered production in 2006, so we're way past acceptable teething problems in both platforms.

I just had JLCPCB and OshPark race to get me a board: I used the default jlcpcb settings and all the expedited settings for oshpark.

JLCPCB started making the board in less than a day, was done in two days, and mailed it to me in 3 more days (DHL delivered it a day earlier than expected). They had it in the mail to me before oshpark even sent my design to the fab (which then took a week to make the part). And oshpark was much more expensive (5X for 3 simple 2-layer boards).

I could see getting into a week-cycle (design board over weekend, send to jlcpcb sunday night, get results friday for testing), and then just read Hacker News in the down time.
LLMs are building blocks on the path to AGI. Can you even ask your cat any question you can ask chatGPT?

From what I read about "climate gate", I took home:

The "data manipulation" was the use of standard data analysis tactics on genuine data. Yes, everyone "used the same data" because the data was good. The data analysis was also fine, it's just that a bunch of partisans saw the word "trick" and thought "lie".

> The excitement of novel reading is akin to intoxication. When it subsides, it leaves the mind collapsed and imbecile, without the capacity or the inclination for active exertion. I question, whether the confessions of an opium-eater exhibit more striking evidences of the pernicious influence of that stimulating drug on the physical system, than the experience of an habitual novel reader can furnish of the injurious effects, produced on his mental organization by the constant perusal of works of fiction.
Yeah, but ideally all of those features should be "native" features of the cryptosystem, such that they're all just as zero-trust as the core stuff the cryptosystem does with its gas currency.

The problem is that developers see "this cryptosystem supports smart contracts" and interpret it as "this is a Turing-machine substrate which I can use to deploy effectively centralized / trust-us infrastructure, but then turn around and market it as being decentralized and zero-trust."

If a cryptosystem supports "smart contracts", ideally they should be restricted to only to serve as an interface for extending the deployed cryptosystem with additional decentralized / zero-trust features. Sadly, it's impossible to have a compiler determine whether your code is decentralized / zero-trust.
That’s pretty awesome, i hope to corroborate that information
Korean Smartphones Have Mandatory Shutter Sounds, 8 in 10 Want It Muted
People don't understand the role of the F-35. It's the blingy first one in during the pivotal moment of gaining air superiority. Just because the F-35 exists doesn't mean we are ditching all other aircraft. Once the skies are clear you can use literally anything else for CAS. Helicopters, gunships, etc.
The premise is not "always"... if anything, the premise is rathar that in this case it produces better outcome for the costomers?

Also, the mechanism is explicitly outlined (of cause very briefly) in the comment, so no need to resolve to premises. If you do have something concrete to counteract and add for the discussion, that would be awesome!
The F-35 only became operational in July of 2015. It's still a new plane going through teething problems. A lot of the issues are being addressed in later variants. The latest blocks are vast improvements.

That being said, I suspect the plane was designed to do too much. It doesn't surprise me that said teething problems are more than other aircraft designs, but this really should have been 3 different planes, or at least the F-35B should have been. But there really should be a separate stealthy plane dedicated to close air support that would not need to be as stealthy as the better stealth planes should have already achieved air superiority.

I may also add that the F-15 itself received a lot of controversy when it was first released. It was seen as a poorer dog fighter and that it's "overpowered" radar was unnecessary, but it's gone on to be very successful in all its engagements. Then the same critics lost their shit when they made the strike eagle version.
The Light L16 Camera Delivered Too Little, Too Late, for Too Much Money
This is actually one of the points I disagree with the author. I mentioned in the previous story about ansel that I really like lightzone, which unfortunately has not seen much attention (the project site has been taken over by a squatter so you can only place is currently the GitHub page).

They had configurable execution order and masks well ahead of everyone else (back when lightzone was still commercial) and the interface was always straight forward. Some things are just much easier to achieve with reconfigurable orders. For example desaturating an image and then adjusting the contrast curve of the black and white photo. I just tried that in ansel and you can't do it because the desaturation is done after the tone mapper. You can probably achieve the same result but it's just more difficult.

I find that darktable (and ansel as well) suffer from too many modules touching the same fundamental things. E.g. There seem to be several modules that adjust the color calibration white balance, exposure. So I have seen multiple times that I get a very bad initial look, but I can't fix it easily with e.g. the white balance without turning those other modules off.
How to electrify your life when you rent
Buying physical magazines in this era seems a bit archaic. One aspect that I like about the slow release schedule is that it forces the editors to only include things which are really important or relevant, rather than having to pad with news that will be forgotten in a couple days.

I think Washington Post is doing the best job at reaching younger audiences with their TikTok shorts. They make short sketches of current events, which the viewer can follow up on if the story catches their interest. You have to meet young people where they're at while respecting the medium.

Maybe a fun remix would be to make short and silly animations detailing current events.

Another attempt at reaching younger audiences: there are some egirls that act really over the top anime kawaii uwu while dropping political facts. It's a bit cringe inducing, but appears to be effective at getting people's attention. Admittedly I'm not sure if this form of informational dissemination will remain viable in the long term or if it'll lose potency once the novelty wears off.
Just responding to say thank you, because I think you articulated the point I was trying to make better than I could.
I'm surprised that you're surprised.

Southern Christianity has always reached deep into secular politics and government. The entire Southern Baptist religion was founded to protect slavery, which certainly isn't an imperative from scripture.

I believe you that things are changing and perhaps becoming less subtle, but there never was a strong connection between Christian scripture and the behavior of Southern Christians.

> The latest fad seems to be making claims are specific weather events

I read these same news articles, and usually they're quoting a scientist saying that no specific "weather event" can be attributed to climate change, but that a general increase in severity or fluctuations between extremes is likely the result of climate change.

Why the heck do supposedly "smart and detail oriented" people pay more attention to scare quotes from journalists and policy makers than to nuanced quotes from actual scientists?

https://eapsweb.mit.edu/news/2019/historical-climate-models-...

> Climate impacts are nuanced and are experienced at smaller, regional scales, for which different models often still disagree. This is because different models may contain slightly different characterizations of the Earth’s physics, particularly small-scale features that do not last long but can make a big impact, like clouds. These slight differences in calculations, when spread over time and space, have the potential to cancel out or amplify other climate effects.

> The results from this paper increase our confidence in climate models in that they have accurately projected the most basic climate metric through history: global warming. By many measures, today’s climate models are much more useful and skillful than the historical models reviewed here. This adds to our confidence in today’s state-of-the-art model projections, which climate scientists will continue to improve upon and use to pin down the specifics of climate change’s effects.

You’re absolutely right! It feels like an appeal to emotion more than any academic revelation. And the “rigor and honesty are not in doubt” part… really the conclusion of that episode was the beginning of the end of “trust the science!” for me.

I think the saying is “don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining”. Since then things have only gotten worse. In the climate industry you publish or you starve and you can only publish if your paper agrees with the “narrative” not where science leads you.

And computer scientists like myself are told computer models are the gold standard of climate prediction but I know that’s technically absurd!

Computers are complete garbage at predicting! Even things you have control over! It’s just math, it’s not magic. You would have to disbelieve the domain of math “chaos” which was founded based on climate studies!

When I point that out I’m told I just am not smart enough to understand, and neither is anyone in the debate stage, we just need to trust the science.

We’re well into emperor’s new clothes territory and anyone pointing this out is not debated with but given a high tech lynching.

This really is the dark age of science. I would love for someone to explain to me the usefulness of climate models that are always wrong, that require constant variable clamps and run out of control without exception.

Reviewing climate model code should give anyone a great deal of concern that anything is derivative of that garbage.
