You mean skynet terminator wintermute risk it seems, which doesn't exist and we have no pathway to. The analogy doesn't hold for matrix multiplication. It might be fun to pontificate about what could happen if we had something that is effectively now magic, but it's just a philosophy thought experiment with no bearing on reality.

Both versions have a 1080p screen for each eye, but when you plug them into the computer they anchor 3 virtual 1080p screen in front of you in AR. It's similar to if you had 3 monitors in front of you.

VCs don't invest in a company to make it last forever. They want their 10x return as soon as humanly possible. So they push companies to grow as fast as possible and then exit (ie. sell to the next bag holders). Their strategy is not steady 2x dividends from successful companies, it is multiple companies exploding at different times so they have a steady stream of 10x money bags falling from the sky.
They're weird because supposedly their processes and documentation predate many others. It's as if they're gradually becoming the soviet kremlin. Still good at all that secrecy stuff, but the actual processes behind that opaqueness increasingly more stubborn and clunky.

From the front page of the link: “The easiest way to avoid page curl in your images is to flatten the pages by pressing them against glass or acrylic. While there are some computer algorithms that can help dewarp the pages after capture, it is always more reliable to just capture flat pages in the first place.”
I've had the same issue with Linux. It's far from immune. I've also generally found it easier to recover a borked Windows install than a Linux one.

I had a P50 that I stuck three disks and 64GB memory in, it was great for VMware demos or testing out a full stack with Vagrant or Docker or whatever.
Yes, the Internet has created a real life Orwellian nightmare.
Hopefully it will never take hold, but I can see forcing individual episode purchases, or 'premium show' subscriptions (within an existing subscription) being a thing sadly.. Just have to look at twitch and subscribing to individual channels, can get expensive quickly. Yes, twitch is supporting individuals, but can see that model being adapted..

Is the uncaptured power completely gone during processing or does it remain embedded in the "nuclear waste"? It is not hard to imagine a future in which that waste gets mined to be put in a new reactor when the political/economic winds change.
I use it exclusively for paroosing/double-checking my changes and staging (especially individual hunks).
No, not at all. Given that people generally spend more time in cars than on planes, assuming that they spend the same time on each, as is tacit in treating per passenger hour risk as comparable to a lifetime risk, is flat out wrong. You'd need to know the expected total time or distance traveled by each mode.

It has a dose of realism:

> Despite this promise, the prospects for the expansion of nuclear energy remain decidedly dim in many parts of the world. The fundamental problem is cost. Other generation technologies have become cheaper in recent decades, while new nuclear plants have only become costlier.

I think this is realistic. Current cost of nuclear is unacceptably high. It's simply not competitive. It's a non-starter for commercial use. It can't be done without vast amounts of state support.

This might be a fixable problem. But it's going to require something more than just doing more of the same. And that's going to take a lot of time. This decade looks like it's mostly lost already. We maybe get a handful of new reactors online by the end of it. But if it's not under construction already, forget about it. And they'll likely be of the "oops we did it again" variety in terms time and cost budgets. It's not going to make a huge difference either way.

People have been talking about small reactors for ages. But those have yet to come online in meaningful numbers and are likely going to take a lot of time before they are being mass produced. We might be in the 2040s by the time that starts having any real impact. If ever. Meanwhile, renewables are coming online by the tens/hundreds of GW per year right now. Increasing every year. And yes there are some challenges with seasonal fluctuations in power output and weather related variations. All solvable with more renewables and storage. The bottom line is that mass production and deployment are working really well in that space.

The reality in the next few years is that there are more nuclear reactors heading for end of life than new ones are being built in many countries. Some of those might get an (expensive) overhaul and life extension. But not all of them.

I'm not against good solutions in this space. But it has to be at a more competitive cost. An order of magnitude at least.
They can do things that have the effect you describe, using broad and not 100% precise methods. But they can no longer explicitly "giv[e] Black and Latino students a boost."
Thanks for sharing a behind-the-curtain view on the history of your publications.

Thank you even more for publishing WebGazer and for following a "systems" approach in your research, when most people produce only papers. It's systems as research artifacts that encode the exact methods as described in the papers but in sufficient detail to be executable that drive innovation. Sadly, system papers are rather hard to publish, despite taking longer (software that is released needs to be much more polished than software that you are going to keep to yourself).
Not me - no point wasting time. I generally don't comment even if just downvote. I also try to avoid commenting on anything that I think is likely to get flagged. You are making a personal attack against me that is just plain wrong.

My comment here is off-topic sorry. comments on voting and flagging are definitely off-topic.
Awesome machine! Ask me how I know? :)

As for the power profiles issue, it's related to a problem in the BIOS that's resolved in the latest release. However, Lenovo tends not do a good job of getting these BIOSs up on LVFS timely, so you'll need to update the BIOS manually via Lenovo's website.

I definitely agree that defining intelligence as what humans do is a problematic practice. I guess I just wanted to nit pick a little.

There's definitely a lot of "it's not real intelligence because it's not human intelligence" going around these days. Doesn't seem like it's going anywhere useful though.

Great! Building out low carbon things like wind, solar, hydro, nuclear all help reduce air pollution and CO₂ emissions. What's your point?
Yes, and some academics have altruistic hearts of gold. (I used to assume they were all like that, and that was half the reason I wanted to be a professor, thinking of the university as a testbed or incubator for a better world.)

As an exercise to flesh out the space of possible reasons for behavior that seems misaligned with academic ideals, you can also imagine different characteristics and profiles of some hypothetical academics: selfish self-interest and a touch of ethical flexibility (that might've given them an edge to get to the position of influence), arrogance (from the position or other reasons), personal relationships (these are colleagues, often friends, sometimes more), group solidarity, normal human biases, funding politics, being beholden to organizations that are cynical or misaligned with what a good academic would do.

Realtime collab apps tend to kill their competitors without realtime collab. See Figma: slightly worse UX and performance compared to Sketch, easily killed Sketch. How did Notion penetrate the competitive docs/wiki market? Much more collaborative than the incumbent Confluence (now confluence is iterating on realtime collab to remain relevant).

Realtime is becoming table stakes in any online collab system. I think code is the exception, not the rule, because it’s 100x more brittle than prose or pixels that need to convey approximate meaning to humans.

You can implement realtime without using CRDT/OT, Notion is paragraph-by-paragraph last write wins, no fancy algo, but mostly good enough to remain competitive.

It took more than a supreme court ruling to end Segregation in southern schools. It took some boots on the ground.
China is barely building nuclear power plants anymore. China added more wind and solar the past nine months than all of its nuclear reactors under construction will provide. Yes, that includes capacity factor.

Which confirms your statement, they are a practical people. They have despite much lower labor costs than in the western world and a dictatorial safety and decision making culture come to the conclusion that renewables will power the vast majority of the grid.

Well, if you're using an old Windows 10 installer (my assumption), yeah, that's just how it goes. Like, if you're starting at Win 10 1909, that's like upgrading Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. Start with an updated installer and you'll have a better time.
Serious question, do you think women should be in the workplace? Wouldn’t they be “better off” in your view as a wife of a man who works, rather than earn their own living?

To me, this is just like hearing about the gender pay gap and responding by saying they should just get married and become a housewife instead.
Yes, the only hard rule in my department is having a minimum of 50 pages, the idea that 100 pages is not enough came from the scientists applying their own experiences from years ago. Technically there was nothing they could do about her thesis having fewer pages, but as inexperienced students, it's obviously a little scary when people you look up to sound concerned (since academia is full of all sorts of unproductive and unstated expectations).

A friend at another department only had a minimum requirement of 5 pages, and his thesis ended up being just a collection of his publications.
No. Actual VAX died shortly after Alpha became a thing, and Alpha died when Itanium came along. OpenVMS was ported to Itanium around 2010/2011, but HP shifted to x86-64 around 2015 as Itanium sales began to quickly drop. At this point, there’s x86-64, ARM, RISC-V in the west, with Itanium’s cousin Elbrus in Russia and some MIPS stuff in China. IBM still makes and sells POWER, but it’s a niche of a niche market.

If someone managed to make Alpha or VAX come back, he/she might end up sued into oblivion by HPE… and then possibly hired by them.
My cat seems to be doing the exact opposite: removing random objects from desks and shelves, and leaving them in random unreachable corners.
IIRC the SAT added this several years ago. It gave students more points based on zip code, and perhaps some other factors. They got some blowback at first, but modified it and I believe it still exists. But it's separate from your "regular" SAT score, which is what everyone talks about. My theory is that the UC system might create a test where the adversity score is baked in, and you have no way to disaggregate it.

Now we get Microsoft delivered bloat and unwanted, pre-installed software. They'll even automatically install all the OEM junk when updating a fresh W10/11 install with a clean USB stick made from the MS iso. That didn't happen with a fresh XP install with a non-OEM disc.
Any competent machinist can make that.

I notice that you have been working on this for a while [1] and announced a couple of modules last year so I expect you have already validated the concept with a bunch of users.

I can see the issue with larger corporations having an easier time protecting works they create, I think a system where registration is simple would solve most of the issues. Patent applications are a complex process and I don't think we should base any new copyright system on that. We have the tools today to improve the registration system.

I also think that some compromise needs to be made. Saying that all small, independent artists would be "massively more screwed" doesn't give them much credit. Having their work protected and documented as such should give them more protections if someone infringes on their work. A fast and simple process can be designed to allow everyone to register their works without limiting it to large corporations.
> I'd prefer something like "The purpose of PhD programs is to advance the field".

If you read Wikipedia under 'Doctor of Philosophy', you will find that a Ph.D. was once more of a prestigious title you got after doing the scholarship:

"The first higher doctorate in the modern sense was Durham University's DSc, introduced in 1882. This was soon followed by other universities, including the University of Cambridge establishing its ScD in the same year and the University of London transforming its DSc into a research degree in 1885. These were, however, very advanced degrees, rather than research-training degrees at the PhD level—Harold Jeffreys said that getting a Cambridge ScD was "more or less equivalent to being proposed for the Royal Society."

It is still possible to get a doctorate in this manner. Please see wikipedia under 'Doctor of Philosophy by publication'.

"A Doctor of Philosophy by publication (also known as a Ph.D. by Published Work, PhD by portfolio or Ph.D. under Special Regulation) is a manner of awarding a Ph.D. degree offered by some universities in which a series of articles usually with a common theme are published in scholarly, peer-reviewed journals to meet the requirements for the degree, in lieu of presentation of a final dissertation. Many PhD by Publication programs require the submission of a formal thesis and a viva voce."

It is offered in several countries in Europe. The wikipedia entry is incomplete: it is not just offered in the UK.

Furthermore, it is relatively common to get advanced degrees from well known universities (e.g., Harvard) without having an undergraduate degree.
My current customer has this workflow:
1. The person or someone else raises an request for an account(some users have up to 3 accounts for security reasons);
2. An certain amount of people approves it
3. The system adds the account to an group.
all the systems can look up the account and the groups he is a member of in the AD.
This also works for applications that don't authenticate themselfs over ldap, like SAML or OAuth, since the sso is configured to relay the groups.

Inequality != poverty.

You think if there was a society of 90 millionaires and 10 billionaires, people would be complaining about inequality? Of course not, because the real problem is what people can afford, and what the base standard of living is. That has nothing to do with inequality (unless those at the top are putting their thumb on the scale somehow, by buying up real estate and not using it, for instance).

Nearly three times the number of papers published by Claudine Gay. Why isn't he President of Harvard?
Good question. Perhaps depends on the type of warning shot. Plenty of media has an anti-tech bend and will publicize warning shots if they see them -- and they do this already with near term risks, such as facial recognition.

If the warning shot is from an internal red team, then higher likelihood that it isn't reported. To address that I think we need to continue to improve the culture around safety, so that we increase the odds that a person on or close to that red team blows the whistle if we're stepping toward undisclosed disaster.

I think the bigger risk isn't that we don't hear the warning shots though. It's that we don't get the warning shots, or we get them far too late. Or, perhaps more likely, we get them but are already set on some inexorable path due to competitive pressure. And a million other "or's".

Chinese can make huge investment mistakes also, and due to the nature of their economic system, they can keep on the wrong side for years, if not decades (read about their massive real state bubble). The economy of the US is quicker to discover investment mistakes and adapt.

This doesn't mean nuclear is a mistake per se, but if the central government decides nuclear is practical, and it turns out they are wrong, it's very probable they keep building them and then some well after they are costing more money than they produce. In the US the investors would go bankrupt, and the plant development abandoned.
China is also building enough renewable power than their grid expansion rate leading to a structural decline in CO2 emissions [1]. At the same time the utilization factors of the coal plants reduce each year.

This is driven purely by economic factors, for the first time since the discovery of fossil fuels, except the blip where we dammed up pretty much every single river globally to provide hydropower, we have in renewables have found a new cheaper energy source.

Renewables are cheap energy.

Henry Ford is reputed to have said that if he had asked what people wanted, they would have said faster horses.

I feel that nuclear proponents are stuck arguing for "faster horses". For the last 300 years or so, humans have harnessed energy by finding a heat source (initially burning wood, then coal, then oil/gas) and boiling a tank of water to produce steam, the pressure of which can be turned into useful mencanical energy. By adding generator, we electrified the world. Nuclear, whether fission or even fusion may be a "faster horse" - hotter cheaper fuel - but it just replaces the heat source - the rest is still largely steam-age technology.

Solar and wind on the other hand bypass generating heat completely and in solar's case, bypass even the mechanical aspect. Furthermore, their cost is determined by the cost of mass manufacture, not the supply of coal or relatively rare radioactive fuels, nor the construction of complex large plant. This is the revolution and this is why all thermal based generation is in a death spiral (although natural gas will survive longer than the rest) while solar and wind generation is growing literally exponentially.
