The unofficial motto in academy: "cheat or perish"

but well... people gets what they asked for, so everybody should be happy with the current situation.

If cheaters have the money it means also that somebody has zero money. Is a double loss. This people simply pass over the other researchers and push them out of the road.
$1M/year sounds insane. In Finland at least top salaries for professors is about tenth of that. And I don't think any of the professors I know make much more, in Europe or North America.

Admin people like the principal may get obscene salaries (like 4 times the max professor salary) though.

As an academic, I think academics (including me) are paid too much. We need people who are interested in the science, not those who (pretend to) do it for money.
I agree with what you're saying but as a counterpoint, I was literally run over in my driveway by a guardian and almost died, and he was in a '90s Tacoma.

My saving grace was that the truck was so light that even at age five I managed to survive being crushed under one of the wheels thanks to my aluminum frame bike wrapping around my ribcage. Even a modern-day Tacoma is much larger and probably would have killed me.

I agree, the first day is usually trivial, that wasn't the case here. I also tried using regex but ended up implementing a much simpler solution using index() and rindex().
This is a really neat idea. Would love to have a similar view for llama like models. I’ve been working with Mistral 7B lately and it’s annoying how many small changes there are between it and llama. Having a view like this would be a good time saver.

I think I've found the upper limit on vacation time at my second job, it was 63 days (on a 5 day week).

I had to take like 45 of those (the rest way convertible into money). I usually like time off more than money, but I couldn't find the time to plan those 60+ days (and I also was obese and on a very bad ankle, so hiking and 'cheap' vacations were harder to plan :/)
Yeah, it's systemic. Faked fluorescence etc. Lots of photoshopped biotech.

I think it would be so ironic if advanced AI ended up simply teaching us new languages quickly instead of translating for us.
Existing ammonia transporters are having fuel cells added. Initially to run auxiliary power but with an obvious path to scale up to power the electric propulsion.
Even if it is extremely effective. This thing would need to blow up between 500 - 2000 drones (depending on drone cost, which is going down) to make itself worth the expense. Meanwhile such a vehicle might be something that can be shot down with some AA fire.

Also no areal vehicle can go on say 500 missions without maintenance, that price is going to only go up.

I cannot fathom the cost justification.

I've never done it, but apparently you can knock out the nodes with a long metal rod (like a piece of rebar or something) before the bamboo is completely dry, or after soaking or steaming it.
I'd argue it's worth it.

Some practical ideas, when allocating the money for research 30% or so has to be kept back for replication. Public science is mostly government funded. And the government could allocate X% percent of the budget for replication work. It sounds like a solvable problem to me.
Perhaps it could be verified using time delayed lensing experiments[1]?

>Respect to Apple, but internal ASIC teams is nothing new in a lot of the tech industry

It's not new indeed, but Apple was the first to turn custom in house chips into a major selling point. For example Samsung was vertically integrated for a long time, with their in-house Exynos chips and modems, yet they couldn't capitalize with that in their phones, as they often fell behind Qualcomm in CPU-GPU performance, modem reception and battery life.

Being vertically integrated is not enough if those parts you're making in house are mediocre and don't enhance the final product.

> Take electricity, lose nearly 50% of all your electric capacity spend converting to hydrogen,

Nothing needs to be converted (except transportation and mining costs, and costs of running the fueling stations) for geologic hydrogen. I made this clear with the first links. And there are economic synergies with also using geologic hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas in electricity generation and home heating.

> All with a vehicle that has a mini bomb on it, where if it does explode, even if it's extremely unlikely, you are burning with an invisible flame.

Hydrogen needs oxygen to "explode" in flames. There's a limit to how fast the oxygen in the air can mix with compressed hydrogen to fuel burning. The majority of the hydrogen is going to escape the area before interacting with oxygen. The autoignition temperature of hydrogen is 500C, so it would need a spark to burn. And that burning spark would need to both spread over the entire escaping hydrogen and also not be extinguished as the thousands of PSI of hydrogen rapidly equilibriate to 15 PSI (additionally, as anyone who has used an aerosol can knows, rapid decrease in pressure results in a rapid temperature drop, reducing the chance of autoignition).

And electricity has it's own issues as the cause of major fires (both from battery fires on the local scale and from downed power lines on the larger scale). Burying power lines is an expensive process. And for battery fires, unlike hydrogen, the fuel doesn't fly off into the upper atmosphere, but stays in place until it is all burned up. Yet people still buy battery powered transportation in large numbers.

> There is no infrastructure, no desire by consumers, no feasible way to implement, no one to realistically invest in the infrastructure.

Initial infrastructure already exists for alternate fuel fleets of waste trucks and the like. It can grow from there. It's feasible to implement as people already are implementing it, and to an extent can share lines already used by natural gas, the investments have already started (from the government and from automotive and energy companies, such as the energy company in my earlier link).

You seem to be abusing exponential notation there. Halfway between 0 and 4.4 * 10^26 is 2.2 * 10^26, quite a bit larger than a cell. Halfway from Planck length should be just about the same given it's indistinguishable from 0 on that large of a scale. Even if you wanted to use logarithmic scaling, half of 4.4 * 10^26 would 4.4 * 10^13. Negative exponents are fractional. The Planck length isn't actually a negative number.
I interviewed somebody recently for a podcast who is a big AoC fan. His biggest reason is that, if you're learning a new language it's a great way to put it through its paces. He tries to learn a new language every year doing AoC.

Show HN: I made feature-rich and free VS Code extension to use GPT-3/4 (PaLM2)
Hey HN,

I am a software engineer and solopreneur who has recently been delivering a bunch of apps.

While coding, at the beginning of the year, I developed my own VS Code extension, which I've been using for coding tasks and assistance from top AI models like GPT-3/4 and Google PaLM2.

After a while, I realized it would be good to publish it, so I integrated it into an existing SaaS, which I had previously launched, named SnippetHub, and the extension is called SnippetHub Lens AI.

Why Lens AI? Well, because one of the unique features is that you can create as many CodeLenses as you want, for which you can define custom AI instructions and target points in code, so you will have a little clickable links (CodeLens) above target points (methods/classes/variables...).
The result is that you have a pre-defined AI buddies which you trigger on a piece of code and do some AI magic, with just one click.

In addition, it has other features such as AI Chat, setting selected code as AI Chat context and similar.
I am currently working on the AI Test Storm feature, which will have a separate view in VS Code, where you will be able to use top AI models to generate tests for your code, for different cases.

The extension is completely free for AI chatting and 1 AI Lens, with your own OpenAI API key.
Just register on SnippetHub, log in from VS Code and you can use it.

I would love to hear your feedback, both positive and negative.

You are making the assumption that the app is the real app and that the app is under the control of the user. Both may turn out not to be the case so 'hostile' would seem to me to be the only proper classification unless the communications have ways of verifying that either of the above scenarios is not in play. Better safe than sorry with this stuff.

Not trying to disparage but: how is Inferno a complete break from Plan9 ? I mean there's some fundamentally breaking changes (it's just(TM) a VM, the language is brand new) but I don't feel like they're the kind of changes that revolutionized the way we do computing compared to Plan9, the way Plan9 did over Unix.

Now of course that doesn't mean Inferno doesn't have its own merits: limbo is a probably an important step towards the kind of programing that Go enables
In this case, hideous because of the overloading of =. But in general it's just an ugly inconsistent mess of a language. It can't decide if it's supposed to be expressive and read like English (begin, end, rescue, unless, etc) or needlessly terse by omitting random vowels (elsif, strftime, uniq). And then there's the utter mess that large codebases get into with metaprogramming.

Clawhammer is a ton of fun! Because you’re already a musician maybe you know this already but my standard advice to new players is to play with tolerant others as soon as you are able to keep time through chords. It helps you keep solid time, feel the groove, let go of mistakes, and it fuels the drive to improve. Maybe you’ll be one of the folks playing at your neighbourhood bar inspiring the next banjo player!

I think much less than less for most practical purposes.
Never seen that in Duolingo. It starts with the basics and phrases, not random useless vocabulary.
Beautiful analysis by Michael Brendan Dougherty: “MacGowan was able, as an Irish-Londoner, to take Irish music in hand with a joy, pride, and inventiveness that seemed impossible for the native Irish who either revered their musical tradition too much to experiment with it, or disdained it as a kind of false Paddyism.”
I just have a gigantic feeling of loss. So many huge ecosystems, so many of the things we things we grew up with reading about in books and seeing in those beautiful Attenborough narrated documentaries are just coming to an end, forever. Replaced by the same human sprawl as everywhere.

What car are you driving that has pneumatic steering?

Also, in my experience driving cars with unassisted steering, it's steering at parking speeds that is difficult, steering at speeds above about 10 mph is fairly easy.
Counter-drone warfare is going to be huge over the next couple decades, so this is very interesting to see.

Drone warfare right now is small in numbers and small in range, because of limitations around the technology — even so it is having a ton of impact on the ground in Ukraine.

A good analog might be early World War 1: planes were incredible scouts and they were occasionally disruptive to troops, but it wasn't really practical to deploy them in large, coordinated formations, fit them with heavy payloads, or use them out over the oceans. By World War 2 that entire calculus had changed, with horrifying results for all combatants.

Right now an American carrier group might be vulnerable in littoral (shoreline) combat to drones, but retreating even a few dozen miles offshore would be enough distance to dampen the threat — drones just don't have the range and anti-jamming to be useful on the scale of hundreds or thousands of miles.

In 15 years though? 10x the range, the speed, the numbers, and potentially outfit a carrier ship specifically for deploying drones en masse. Play the same scenario out underwater with "drone carrier submarines".

The key question for all American military commanders and defense contractors to answer: how do you shoot down 1,000 drones without losing a ship?

His little startup succeeded in getting many millions of dollars of VC money poured into Drupal, and it’s actually a really good way to build a serious website now, for a particular niche. It’s not for SPAs, and it’s not for non-developer hobbyists, but it’s the best way I know of to build a performant content-heavy multilingual website. You have to be willing to a) write code and b) learn an extensive framework. Lots of people only want to do one or the other of those things, so it’s not for them.

Another option when using regex would be to use the lookahead[0] operator (as long as supported, which is the case for the python re module)

(?=(one|two|three|[...]))

would return `["two", "one"]` for the input string `twone` since the lookahead operator doesn't consume the next character.

I'm asking. Isn't there a trade off here?

The specialized apps do a better job, but take longer to parse, or is it just a PITA for no reason?
To me the key functionally for any language learning app is giving you feedback on your pronunciation and general understanding. I’ve been using Duolingo to learn Mandarin and when I try to speak to anyone it’s difficult for them to understand me, because my pronunciation is all wrong. The app is just feeding info to me one way, and I can try my best to recreate what I’m hearing, but there’s no way to know if I’m messing it up. They do have a speaking feature but it doesn’t work very well, certainly not to the same level as speaking with a real person who is fluent in the language and having them correct you.
I'm being kind of tongue in cheek because I understand that this is for just making things really easy and ComfyUI is a node based editor that most people would have trouble with. But the best UI for local SD generation that the community is using is https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI
We don’t actually know that it’s true, that was a rumor from a somewhat spotty source.

It also seems very unlikely. That would get Apple out of having to deal with Qualcomm and paying them so much.

Peer review can't catch manipulated data. Replication studies do, that's a whole separate concern.

I work in a remote first company with a few thousand employees and the jobs are not moving to Poland but to Canada.

Seems like there will always be latency, because it's not possible to easily stream over languages that have different structure. You need to wait a bit before you can start faithfully translating the meaning.

They also mention it in one of the videos about the streaming variant of their translator. But I guess 2s delay or what they mention is close enough for practical purposes.

I feel like for personal relationships where true real-time is required, having a computer intermediary would be weird anyway and you have to learn the language, at least for the time being and as long as personal relationships are still relevant (in the post-AI world they might not be).

Show HN: A Newsfeed Just for News
Hi HN --

I'm one of the cofounders of Forth, a news feed for news. (https://www.forth.news)

The idea is pretty simple -- scroll through a news feed like you would on a social site, but keep it just to news. Avoid disinformation, propaganda, etc, but keep the brevity and variety of sources/verticals, and curate your own feed by following topics, journalists, or organizations.

All of the posts on the site come from real journalists. They are who they say they are.

I know journalists are not always held in the highest regard on this site, but I will point out -- their livelihoods come from a reputation for accuracy. Sure, humans get things wrong, but a responsible journalist check out a story before posting, and will correct the record if they make a mistake. That's what we expect, and it's listed right in our Editorial Policy. (https://www.forth.news/docs/editorial)

Please let me know what you think, and if you find this helpful.

This doesn’t scale. Sometimes only a small number of labs have the equipment needed to run an experiment, let alone the training on the equipment to do what needs to be done. This equipment can cost millions. Even if the results are correct, experimental science is very finicky by its very nature. Getting an experiment to work can take months.

Which works if the work is predictable. If you’re in a dynamic environment, that’s not possible. Hence, agility.
