right, every other media company like the NY Times, Britannica, Guardian, do the following

Pay writers

Offer legal protection against defamation lawsuits

Now I ask why Wikimedia does neither? It seems a lot like basically just another Section 230 exploitation tech company, where all liability is shifted to users (editors / content creators), so its not really a media company. This does I think make it more like Facebook, Youtube, Insta, TwitterX, etc, because it is not in the business of content, it is in the business of watch-time or engagement or whatever.

Now people say "well Wikipedia writers dont get paid they are volunteers its very important" -> what this actually ends up in, in real life, is that public figures and corporations pay people to monitor and edit their Wikipedia articles on the down low. So Wikipedia writers do, in fact, get paid. They are just being paid by the subject they are writing about rather than by the media organization hosting / publishing the content. It's not overt but it's also not that hard to research if you really wanted to. And it's something no reputable media organization in the world would allow. (edited many times)
There are cases in MISRA's problem domain where the software watchdog is part of the same program, and fully crashing that program is a different, more severe error than alternatives.
It's depressing how common these "summarize a Twitter argument" news articles have become.

The post includes a tiny bit of original reporting at the end, but that's mostly a perfunctory nod to to journalistic integrity (gotta at least ask the other party for a statement!). The author has nothing useful to contribute to the discussion, so they instead put their effort into studiously recording the like counts on each of the quoted tweets.
I question your assumption that most people who bring this up are people invested in MCF or various private companies.

I think for most people, the question isn't between this fusion and that fusion, it's about fusion and anything else.

We haven't yet been able to get useable energy out of fusion. It may be wonderful if we could, but at the moment, every dollar spent on fusion is a dollar not spent on building more solar panels and wind turbines.

If it really is the case that it will not be possible to power the world without fusion, then that might be money well invested, but it's quite possible that we should just be putting everything into existing renewable technologies.
> There’s only two camps, investors and gamers.

It's not that black and white. I used to play the game in the mid nineties. The most expensive card I bought back then I paid the equivalent of 5 EUR (the Euro didn't even exist yet) because I needed it for a deck but that card came out before I started playing.

I'm not an investor in MtG cards. But my collection went up in value. Nothing crazy (I don't have any of the "power nines") but with 28 dual lands, the most valuable card from Legends (The Tabernacle At Pendrell Vale) and the most valuable card from Arabian Night (Bazaar of Baghdad) and a few others, I'm sitting easily on 20 K EUR atm.

I didn't do it on purpose: I simply never got rid of my cards, not paying attention to the price. I just like my old cards and they bring me back memories when I look at them.

I'm take it I'm in a third category: nostalgic people who simply like their very own (and very old) cards.
Depends on the company. Meta vests quarterly.
However, whatever the situation was before, the DOE recently made fusion power research officially part of their mission.

Just because someone does something because they find satisfaction in it or they enjoy doing it does not make it right to exploit their work for huge personal gain and especially when none of that will ever go back to the people who did the actual work.

Yes, there is no evidence. The point I was trying to make is that gathering that evidence and knowing what is happening is important. It's not enough to just assume any drop in deaths is automatically better than previously, when what we're talking about is a drastic change in how the overall system operates.

Im not arguing that autonomous cars will be worse, I'm just arguing there is the possibility for them to be worse in non-obvious ways, and you prior arguments seemed to ignore that. We should not be so blinded by a single metric that we fail to understand what's really going on. To are many cases of that in technological advances, legislative change, and societal shifts, that we aren't aware of until long after the additional damage has been done.
Exactly! Strap it on anyone who has to work with children to see if they ever have any untoward thoughts.... Then move on to everyone else.
Yes, the volunteers should be happy with the self-satisfaction of helping the more important classes of our society attain their dreams of becoming multi-millionaires. God forbid that the actual revenues be shared with the actual content creators!
Exceptions are not a sane way to handle many error conditions either. Predictably and efficiently handling fatal error conditions will require custom handling code regardless. For many types of software, the downsides of exceptions are not offset by a corresponding benefit in real reliable systems. I’ve worked on systems that work both ways and I have a hard time recommending exception use.

Look, for all I know Gigamic is just waiting for someone to come along and make chess.com for Quoridor, and you're the guy to do it.

But I think your ignorance of the hobbyist game market is revealed a bit here already (not having full context for BGA, not knowing if Gigamic still owns it - they certainly do and had a booth at Essen this year like they do every year) - and you're vastly overestimating not just Quoridor's popularity but the size of the entire market for non-chess/go/tables/poker games. And I don't just mean financially - dozens of variants are no good if there are barely enough players to match dozens of games to begin with.

Did you try contacting BGA to see if you could get the Studio files for Quoridor?
I agree but I also think its more complicated than either hatred or love. Conversion therapy is, I think many people would agree, a form of hatred on gay people. But a parent trying to force their child to be straight would argue they love them dearly and that, if the parent was gay, they would happily undergo therapy to become straight and normal, so they are also empathetic. It's hard to argue about empathy and hatred and care when logic is twisted like this.

I mainly used it because it brought some sanity to the whole Javascript landscape, especially at the time where many frontend libraries were pretty immature.

Never really used it for anything because as a Javascript transpiler though.

Git is decentralized. Ticketing systems and mailing lists as found on SourceHut and many other forges aren’t.

And if SourceHut disappears, what would you do with the repository? You’d upload it to a new forge, but how would you tell users where to find it, how would the users know this is the original source and not a hostile fork? It’s better to pick a stable, trustworthy. and 21st-century place like GitHub or GitLab instead of SourceHut.

Sometimes. Imagine if this is being used to generate something like a DOI or other catalog number for some data or physical artifact. As research scales up, the size of these identifiers also benefits from a more compact encoding.

These kinds of IDs might be printed in a research paper (perhaps in a figure caption or bibliography/reference entry). Then, someone might be reading this from a printed copy of the paper rather than a PDF with a link in it.

Or, researchers might be verbally referencing a particular item during some meeting. It might be recognizable among some peers actively working with the same artifacts, but might also need to be typed back into some search form to get back to online metadata etc.

Another place the same identifier might be is on a printed label for physical artifacts in an archive. Of course, you might also want something like a 2D barcode for scanning, but it is helpful to have something human readable.

Two faculties are listed and the phrase implies the good working order of both.

This then leads to the conclusion that the meaning is “reason alone can not determine all decisions”.

Now a mind in good working order may be confronted with a matter that his or her heart of good working order is objecting to. This phrase reminds us to listen to our heart in these cases.
This thread has some debate about whether thinking or feelings lead to the bad mindsets that nurture bad behavior.

For me, bad mindsets typically arise after some thinking. Often effortlessly.

Conversely, my best mindsets happen after being engaged in a positive effort and/or being in a safe, enriching environment. In these conditions, my better self just forms, seemingly without me exercising any will.
I actually admire G. W. Bush's speed of thought here... most people wouldn't be able to stop before delivering, by their own words, a perfectly recorded media bite of "shame on me"... that would've been played non stop ever since.

Instead he was able to stop and deliver an iconic line that is quoted ever since to make fun of him.
>The Java Stingaree (Urolophus javanicus) was known only from a single specimen collected in 1862 from a fish market in Jakarta, Indonesia.

>The team conducted new modeling encompassing all available information on the species which has revealed the Java Stingaree as extinct.

[...]

>CDU's Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods Senior Research Fellow Dr. Peter Kyne said there are over 120 Critically Endangered marine fishes in the world and that the loss of the Java Stingaree is a tipping point for marine biodiversity.

I'm no marine biologist, but this reads like a highly motivated conclusion.
Offering a new payment service with different semantics to all existing ones is not only a tech/backend change, though.

The real-time aspect of FedNow has liquidity implications; the fact that it (optionally?) allows outbound push payments for consumers at a much cheaper rate than wires makes means that automated fraud prevention becomes a priority.

In other words, when you can charge $10-30 for an outgoing (and often incoming!) wire, that pays for the liquidity and manual fraud reviews (during business hours only). At roughly $0, those economics change significantly.
Even if pedigree collapse becomes endogamy, repeatedly occuring over many generation, the introduction of only one migrant per generation is sufficient gene flow to counteract the diversifying effects of genetic drift in a metapopulation.

It is one of the reasons why 90% of human genetic diversity is within groups and only 10% is between groups.

This being Finnish, one of the most isolated groups in Europe, what differs between me and someone also from Finnish descent is a similar quantity as what differs from say an indigenous Australian.

Humans are freakishly homogeneous compared to most species, with chimpanzees living on different sides of a river having more genetic diversity that the entirety of the human population.

Obviously historical low numbers of individuals at some point accounts for a lot of that, but cross deme gene flow even in fairly low rates is part why it is still true.

Here is a fairly accessible explanation of the above.

While I don't know if you are familiar with this, many people have the infinite population models in their head and the more realistic finite case can be counterintuitive.

How many times has your life or someone close to you in your life not died from something they would have died of 100yrs ago? If you're happy medical tech saved their lives then you're arguably for life extension because all it really means is saving more lives from more things that kill them.

Yeah, it didn't affect the drive train, and it was also quite quick - less than a minute between when the screen went dark and when it had finished rebooting and sent notifications that an update had been installed. So presumably just an infotainment update as you said; I didn't try to dig into exactly what the update included though.
You know what also raises inflation and interest rates? Price gouging.

ICF: Inertial Confinement Fusion

MCF: Magnetic Confinement Fusion

CFS is Commonwealth Fusion Systems - https://cfs.energy/

Q is the ratio between energy in and out in a fusion system. Q > 1 is the holy grail, which implies we have more energy out of the fusion system than in. CFS is aiming for Q 11 in its prototype reactor.

SPARC is the "Smallest Possible" ARC I believe. It's their prototype reactor that they're working on that uses magnetic fields through superconductors to contain Hydrogen as it heats up into plasma and goes through the fusion process.

ARC is the 400MW reactor that will be produced (aimed for within a decade) if SPARC succeeds - it's the scaled-out version of SPARC.

It has an impressive set of people working on it (ex-SpaceX).

And yes, ARC is named after the Iron Man reactor.

Yup, 7 days a week with my grandfather. I'm 44 now, he's 96 and still going strong but without the farm since he got too old to run it and simply retired.

But yeah, 7 days a week I'd tend to the turkeys, cattle, dig potatoes, pick tomatoes (we grew a lot of vegetables) , cut hay, rake hay, fluff hay, etc. Being 7 years old on a tractor cutting hay all day was extremely fun. We'd also make the square bales of hay and being 7 or 8, I wasn't strong enough to lift them, so I'd drive the truck with a trailer and my grandfather would be behind loading the square bales. We'd do this for hours in the heat (I had the easy part), he had pure raw strength. We had almost 200 acres of land.
Oh man, lots of thoughts upon reading this article.

>Once your design library is connected to code and AI is smart enough to build ad-hoc interfaces on the fly, the designer's role as an intermediary becomes less important.

This is important, but only because it filters out the bad companies/PMs from the good ones. Sure, you can have an AI generate an interface, but is it the one that your customers need? Is it going to ask your customers whether the information that's shown is needed, is it going to get follow up feedback once it's released?

>Ongoing layoffs and market instability have reduced the bargaining power that many designers wielded in the previous decade—and have cast a light on the transactional aspect of our work.

Designers have convinced themselves that they had bargaining power, and I say this as a designer. We've told ourselves that we fought for a seat at the table, but haven't been able to keep it, and many times once we get it we've failed to convince businesses that we're delivering value due to not being able to speak businesses language. Also, our work has almost always been transactional; we deliver screens, user flows, other deliverables, and we get paid. For too long, the concept of "empathy" has put blinders on a lot of people to the fact that this is just another job.

> if you’re looking for a new position, it might be time to look beyond the stereotypical career in Big Tech; plenty of other kinds of companies, industries, and problem spaces can benefit from strong designers.

There's always been design jobs outside of Big Tech, but people didn't want to work there because it wasn't prestigious enough.

OpenAI/Weak-to-Strong
Why do so many people think the economy is in a healthy position? Strong performance now means nothing. e.g., Department Store Sales 3-month average was $17B in 2008 and is now down to under $11B. It's a bloodbath. It has been steadily trending down since 2008.

"Bill Ackman warns economy will fall off a cliff if the Fed doesn't hurry and cut rates"

The Fed isn't going to cut rates for years. They're refusing to blink. These are Volcker-sized balls on JPow.

Any rallying now is squeezing blood from the stone. Any massive layoffs, sales, mergers, bankruptcies, or consolidations is hedging for the unavoidable cliff.

These are just smart, safe moves by corporations -- getting their affairs in order, per se.

And now the workers are going to suffer because they didn't organize labor when the economy was booming and they weren't feeling the pinch. Hopefully they learn this time and don't let the unions weaken if they want to avoid being battered and left for a cheaper workforce or replaced with automation.
A Swedish cousin of my father managed to do extensive research of portions of our family tree, so I know a branch of my lineage back 12 generations, to about 1505. Unfortunately, none of the recent generations appear to have any interest in knowing about their background at all.

that's the tape market I mentioned. agreed, tape doesn't fit the personal market, but it totally dominates anywhere that has scale.

the question is: what counts as reliable? if PLC is good for 50 erasures, are you really comfortable with that? it's going to cost more than half of QLC, I assure you...

the interesting thing about flash is that people want to use the speed. which means they put in places that have a high content-mutation rate. if it's just personal stuff - mostly cold, little mutation - that's fine but not the main market.
This sort of populist bullshit is part of the problem we’re dealing with.
How exactly is it manipulative?
> Often we're talking about avoiding one db query per request in an application that is nowhere near any database-imposed bottlenecks.

The reason you avoid the db query isn't about trying to keep the db from being overloaded, it's that you can handle the request far away from the DB without needing to wait for the latency of hitting the DB.

Which is also still a complete premature and unnecessary optimization for most people. And then someone realizes their use case requires revocation so they add a DB check anyways.

Glad you have a job and stable employment! When I think of who Amazon has "ground into dust," it's not Microsoft and Google. It's Barnes & Noble, Borders, Waldenbooks, hundreds of thousands of small independent bookstores, small businesses that once worried about Walmart moving into the neighborhood now contending with the omnipresence of Amazon. Some of them adapt, yes. Some were going to close anyway, of course. But you can't deny that retail looks a lot different now than it did ten years ago, and most of that is because of Amazon.
>It may be wonderful if we could, but at the moment, every dollar spent on fusion is a dollar not spent on building more solar panels and wind turbines.

You care to back your armchairing with data? I'll bet you 100usd that it's a pittance compared to what goes into solar and wind turbines world wide. This point is not salient.

>I think for most people, the question isn't between this fusion and that fusion, it's about fusion and anything else.

That's a more valid point. The point for ICF is the potential, this is a sure push in the direction of "this actually has potential," justifying more research, not that we'll have a power plant in 5 years. There isn't this antagonism towards other aspirational research like superconductors or quantum computers.
What’s the point of explicitly assigning “accountability” to a client? They aren’t answerable to you so there’s no practical outcome to them being declared accountable. Why not just define the tasks they are responsible for and leave it at that?

As stated, the connection is "friend of".

I suppose since friendship is difficult to define, it can probably be restated to "has had a 1:1 conversation with" or something similar.
If you have five different goals and only need to hit three of them, you're incentivized to focus all efforts on the three easiest ones, and ignore the other two entirely. Or if you only need to hit 80% of each, to go for all low-hanging fruit until hitting 80%, then shift focus.

Non-cynical colleagues will act in as much good faith as they believe the manager is doing when setting the goals. But Goodhart's law lurks everywhere.
I think its a not unreasonable measure of how the mob feels about the issue.

I think a high brow discussion of leadership salaries is a lot less interesting that the ever expanding gap between people working in tech and everybody else.
