Almost all big university endowments follow the Yale Model[0] as they want asset diversification from the large allocation to market beta (total market index fund) and bonds. Most of the VC $ that funds startup salaries comes from people trying to diversify into other assets outside of the total US market.

The Arabic original of the slogan is, "min el-mayeh lil-mayeh, Falastin Arabiyeh" or in English "from the water to the water, an Arab Palestine". It's a clearly nationalistic slogan that goes well beyond equal treatment under law or human rights.

It does sound like an amazing project you did there.

You are also making a very good point with the surprising effort and equipment this can take. I ran into trouble just fixing something on a heatsink the other day. Turns out in addition to drill, drillbit and tapping set i really need something to keep the drill straight :)
The USA is metric but the units have a wrapper over them to mask it from US citizens.

Yeah, well... Just don't assume the doc/docx file you are working on with multiple revisions and comments and you are dutifully saving every 5 minutes will open next time you try loading it... Libreoffice will eat your document sooner or later if you edit a word file [0].

Switch to Libreoffice file format then convert to doc/docx then send back that doc/docx file.

[0] it's sneaky, basically Libreoffice will show you your edits and let you manipulate and modify the document as wish but what it saves into the file is corrupted and you will only notice it next time you open that file. Sometimes it's a mismatched tag in the internal xml representation (can be fixed), sometimes huge chunk of the doc will be missing (can't be fixed).

>Cycling is such a strange sport. It's like Formula 1 for rich fitness enthusiasts.

There's a really interesting cultural divide in that respect. In the heartlands of road cycling it was long viewed as a sport like boxing, a way for tough kids from bad neighbourhoods to make something of themselves. Like boxing, many of the sponsors and promoters were from the same sort of background - businessmen with opaque arrangements and friends in low places. The revenues brought in by the new global audience of middle-class, middle-aged men in lycra has professionalised and legitimised the sport to a significant extent, but there's still a strong undercurrent of the old days and the old ways.

Standing outside of that cultural context, the glamour is much more apparent than the grit. Roubaix looks quite scenic from a helicopter, but it's one of the poorest towns in France.
I have two use cases for something like these, that are both very first world problem-y I fully admit:

1) wearing in bed, with the lights off while my wife sleeps, to use my MacBook Pro as if I was at a desk with multiple big monitors in front of me

2) on an airplane, usually in the extra 6” of legroom BS seats, where I’d like to either do the same computing with multiple large fake monitors, or to watch a show or movie on something better than an iPad sized screen.

Anyone do either or both of these things? How does the AR work with a short depth of field (like the back of the seat of an airplane right in front of me”)?

Are these worth it? I love the form factor and concept

> Idaho has a small fraction of the population and diversity of those other places. Their challenges are significantly easier.

One of the states rayiner cited Idaho as outperforming is Delaware. Idaho does not have a "small fraction" of the population of Delaware, it has almost twice Delware's population

It is also unclear why, above a certain minimum, population in itself should make any significant difference to a jurisdiction's ability to provide a quality education. As population scales, other relevant factors (such as student and teacher numbers and size of budgets) should scale proportionately – and if they don't, then we've identified a relevant explanatory factor other than population.

Furthermore, Idaho is a lot more diverse than you seem to think it is. Only 80% of the state's population is non-Hispanic white; in K-12 public school enrolments, it is only 73%. [0] Deep red Idaho's schools outperform those of light blue Maine, despite the fact that Idaho has close to 40% more people, and significantly greater ethnic diversity (Maine's population is 92% non-Hispanic white)

It's not just between LibreOffice and Word. Up until at least Office 2016, .docx formatting would regularly break for me between Word versions or between Office for Windows/Mac. Admittedly, Microsoft has got better with this as of late, but the .odt format is much more solid.

I have a tape measure in mm and have absolutely no issue using it to measure things up to 5m in length. It’s trivial to convert in your head between mm, cm, and meters and record whatever unit makes the most sense. Or it’s also fine to just work in mm for largish objects - anyone with any experience with metric units should have no trouble visualizing a car, for example, that is 4,555 mm long. And car dimensions are routinely given in mm by manufacturers on websites, pamphlets, etc for use by the general public.

So I think mm should be just fine for a bookshelf, unless it’s 10+ meters long.

BTW I am an American who grew up using feet/inches, and am now a total metric system convert. I too grow tired of the endless snarky remarks every time someone uses a non-SI unit on the internet, but let’s not delude ourselves into thinking the US way (and other countries who still use non-SI units for certain applications, the US isn’t the only one although it is perhaps the worst offender) of doing things is somehow better. It’s just the convention that people are familiar with in the US.
Neurosurgery residency is very, very, very intense. Unfortunately not everyone finishes. When I was in medical school, I remember some general surgery residents quiting after falling asleep in the middle of an operation; another neurosurgery resident I rotated with was pretty miserable, I found out later he quit. I would have liked to be a neurosurgeon, but simply didn’t have the physical stamina.

I ended up becoming a radiologist. Never heard a radiology resident quiting, although have seen a few residents get kicked out for mental issues or gross incompetence.
I'm not sure what's kind of of operations could be done by "dragging branches around", but in GitKraken
Yeah, I don't get it either. I buy the least fancy iPhone I can, keep it until it dies, then buy the next entry level iPhone. I turn everything off: Safari, podcasts, all sounds and notifications, games, even the camera. Recently I've enabled lock down mode. I use it for SMS, phone calls, 2FA, and for navigation. That's it. I don't understand the need for all of the apps.

I've actually been waiting for something similar - basically some kind of LLM-powered auto-reviewer that checks whether the documentation and the code are in sync on commit.

I used a Palm Treo from the time they came out until the Sprint-T-Mobile merge. So almost 20 years. Loved the little buttons because I lost the tips of my fingers and being able to write notes with the stylus. (My hand writing now looks like Graffiti on paper. I can read it, but nobody else can) I’d buy Treos on EBay for about $25 stick them in a drawer and swap when one died.

I have three apps, Dunkin and Wawa to preorder breakfast, and Waze. I’d love to find a phone with buttons again.
This. LibreOffice once erased all the footnotes in an article I was editing as a .docx. Never had such problems with .odt.
I guess I was factoring in how much more effective an SLBM is (in stealth of platform, short flight time, and therefore accuracy) vs something that has to fly a thousand KM with plenty of time to prep your own response. But yeah no doubt the platform makes it more expensive.

As good as ICBM MIRVs are and assuming a minor nuclear war is as bad as a bit one, if I had to choose to reduce capability on a tighter budget I'd make it about that. The fear of the unpredictability and small response times via having it potentially parked next door adds to the deterrence.
It's a bit different since the industrial revolution, and specifically in the 20th century.

There were periods of time where technology remained relatively static for hundreds of years and all that was required as practice and the generational transfer of knowledge.

Now we can go through several revolutions in a single individuals generation with the relics of several generations past still in implementation and no one really sure of how they work/how to make them work.

> I don’t (and I don’t think this is unusual) mean by ‘equal opportunity’ that everyone should be just e.g. allowed to be a pro athlete or artist simply because they decide to do so. I mean that they should have the same opportunities to do it if their innate talents mean that they could do it.

If so, then the term "equal opportunity" is a lie. One could also claim that our world already provides equal opportunity, as long as your parents are rich enough, and it would be just as accurate.

Hey Rafi,

Isn't your repository at https://github.com/rafic20/folderbase missing the PHP file? Or am I looking at the wrong place?
>Sure it does. Code by default is usable by anyone. A registry of copywritten code would appear which we could easily cross-reference.

Having an easily accessible registry of copyrighted code would make it easy to "patent troll" any open source projects.

The reverse is also true, but open source projects have much less money to dedicate to legal battles.
This is not correct. You can get an LLM to improve reasoning through iteration and interrogation. By changing the content in its context window you can evolve a conversation quite nicely and get elaborated explanations, reversals of opinions, etc.

Apple doesn’t come out and say how many years of OS updates its phones will receive, but the first-generation iPhone SE from 2016 is able to run the latest iOS 15."

> Did anyone notice that the author talks about scams and cons, but when it actually comes to a list of examples the majority are actually about plagiarism?

It’s an article on a .edu written in the wake of one of the highest profile academic plagiarism scandals in a long time (Claudine Gay). It’s not an article targeted at general audiences, you have to read it in context.

The Claudine Gay plagiarism scandal has been difficult for academia because there were many reactionary responses trying to defend her, but after further investigation people are realizing that her plagiarism was something that would have gotten any average student in severe disciplinary trouble. This has refueled the conversation about everything from plagiarism to falsified data that has become a worrying trend in academia: People are getting duped at worryingly high rates and the initial response to uncovering the academic fraud is to deny and defend.

>If plagiarizing is bad because the copied info might be wrong, then original research is bad because it might be wrong.

No, that's not what I wrote at all. Original honest research might be wrong and that's completely fine and understood, that's the entire point of replication! But if someone lies and says they've independently replicated it when they just plagiarized that's fraud and wrong. Telling the world original research has been replicated when it hasn't been is different then a tentative first result. Depending on the area nobody else may then attempt replication for awhile, assuming it's already been done and instead waste resources trying to build upon it only to later discover it was wrong. The original team has also been robbed of independent review they may have otherwise gotten, and themselves move on only to much later have the rug pulled out from under them. Depending on the nature of what caused the original research to be incorrect it may have further ripple effects. Say some piece of equipment or new instrument has some subtle flaw that a true replication attempt would have discovered, but instead it then keeps getting used and causing other experiments to go off.

And this is all in the generous case where the plagiarist does at least pretend to have the same result as what they're copying, vs hacking it into something else and generating total garbage completely.

Water under the bridge but Microsoft takes compatibility very seriously and provides tools for you to write your own compatibility patches:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ask-the-performance-t...
Every single case of plagiarism can be fixed with some combination of quotation marks, proper citations, and rephrasing of relevant text. It is never a claim to have independently reproduced a result.

If a scientist claims to have independently reproduced an experimental result - and they haven't - that is outright fraud. It doesn't matter if they describe that experiment in original words, with proper citations and quotation marks/blocks.

> The problem with Windows isn't backwards compatibility, the problem is that Windows 11 is Windows XP with lots of cruft added on top over the decades.

It is not only cruft but also:

1 - Security. Lots of stuff that doesn't work it is because of features that couldn't be made secure and had to be removed from windows.

2 - Developers that used undocumented behavior that ended up being removed in modern windows versions, a lot of times because of the first item. Being undocumented behavior, it is a lot more probable that WINE doesn't implement it. And sometimes this was not a fault of the developer, but from a particular development environment and framework he used.
The enterprise edition of 22H2 is probably a better bet compatibility wise atm.

The obvious error to your “obvious” solution is that some areas are already low-trust, and thus without removing that low-trust culture/the low-trust individuals there is simply no possible way to change it. Manhattan has had a reputation of being low-trust for longer than I’ve been alive, and that only continues to prove itself. L.A., Detroit, Chicago, really any major city are all low-trust environments. This may not be the whole of the US geographically, however it certainly is from a population perspective.

These situations reveal the true preference toward status over accuracy: People would rather make an effort to preserve their status than to admit having made a mistake.

There are domains where playing games like this will cause you to lose even more status.

However, there are other domains where being loud and denying reality can actually preserve your status: If people are too tired, afraid, or avoidant to challenge the denial then eventually it becomes more or less accepted fact. This is a common feature of toxic work environments, where denying facts or trying to dictate reality can actually work in someone’s favor because the cost of disagreeing with that person is too high.

You see this in bad CEOs who get caught in scandals and then think they can talk their way out of it by writing flowery statements and going on social media to respin the story. These tactics work when you’re preaching to people whose jobs depend on accepting the things you tell them, but they fall apart in the court of public opinion where people have nothing to lose by doubting you.
Oh, cool. This is the first time I've encountered anyone else mentioning hand decompilation of x86-64 instructions. I spent some time doing that with small binaries a while back. The original motivation was SmithForth[0].

For those interested in this kind of thing, here are some useful resources I've stumbled upon:

- x86 Instruction and Opcode Reference: http://ref.x86asm.net/

Probably the best reference for navigating opcodes. It's extreme detail gives a good sense of x86 ISA nuances.

- Intel XED: https://intelxed.github.io/

An library and CLI tool for encoding and decoding instructions between hex and their mnemonics. This tool gave me a fun side quest, sending upstream a patch to make the build reproducible.

- Intel Software Developer Manuals

It takes a little bit of time to get into the groove with these, but the first chapters of each volume contain excellent high-level explanations of the different moving pieces in modern x86 chips.

- Agner Fog's optimization resources: https://www.agner.org/optimize/

Excellent resource for going beyond the ISA and understanding microarchitectural details.

Anyway, I'm still quite green, but if anyone's interested in chatting about this kind of thing, feel free to ping me. Email should be in my profile description.

"The political difficulty with handling CO2 appropriately is orthogonal to whether it's bad."

I think rational-reasonable people, who are usually the most competent and resourceful - aside from industrial complexes with wealth and willingness to do bad in order to achieve regulatory capture to selfishly benefit themselves - will and are landing on that CO2 is an issue to address but how urgent and how close to castrophou we are is the question, but that also then has to be balanced by how harmful could or will the response be to it, e.g. increasing energy costs by adding a CO2 tax will then kill off how many millions around the world, slow how many more millions from getting out of poverty sooner, and how much natural forest environment gets destroyed from people now needing to cut down forests unsustainably because they need a cheap fuel for heating and cooking?

The issue is "armchair" conversations like this, where most people aren't accounting for or factoring everything necessary for a balanced approach - and there seems to be a big ideological divide and vast amount of teaching to happen, whether people are even calm enough to be willing to listen - or if they're fixed and avoidant, succumbing to whatever hysteria and fear mongering propaganda that they may have been misled by (not to claim everything they believe is false).

A bigger threat in my eyes are authoritarians who want to use climate alarmism to manufacture consent to implement further authoritarian-lockdown type policy.

I don't really care that you call me racist (that term has long ago ceased to mean anything other than "I don't like what you say"), and your use of conservative as a slur will be familiar to anyone following political discussions on Reddit or Mastodon.

It's rather disappointing that on HN, where members regularly congratulate themselves on being able to examine viewpoints on their merits alone, you have chosen to drag this conversation into the mud with personal attacks. I will not engage in such behavior myself, and this pretty much concludes the matter for me.
