>isn't really research productivity (though it would be a happy byproduct)

Or the goal is research productivity and citation gaming is just the unhappy byproduct. Yes some motivated actors to playup PRC capabilities (ASPI/US think tanks) exist, but unless you think every western index on science and innovation, controlled for quality of citations (like Nature) are incentivized/coordinated to carry water for PRC's massive increase in research productivity in the last few years, then the parsimonious answer is PRC research productivity has gotten really good and world leading in some domains.

Which should not be surprising because what OP fails to understand incentivizing citation gaming is a smart way to incentivize output, FAST, and at PRC scale output quantity has quality of it's own. If system spams research, and start off with only 2/10 good research, but leader is 3/5 good research, then PRC has nearly caught up. Refine to 3/10 and there's parity. Refine system to 4/10 and PRC leads. Emphasis being fast because PRC started focusing on seriously improving tertiary and R&D/S&T ~10 years ago and the goal was to develop capabilites fast by customary overproduction. You don't get that by slow careful growth, you do that by incentivizing easy KPIs everyone in sector can coordinate around and the product of said KPI is ENOUGH good research after byproduct of citation gaiming. Having a bunch of chaff leftover to get wheat is the point.

We're not going to use Biscuits. The "single root symmetric key" thing is a systems design challenge for us, not a cryptographic one: we simply isolate the key handling on a software-HSM-like verifier service, running on dedicated hardware. If you're coding authz logic for Fly.io's platform code, your experience will be that you can manipulate and check Macaroon caveats without ever having access to the keys themselves, because we split Macaroon-checking into "verification" and "caveat clearing".

The threats in this design that would force us to do abrupt key rotations and mass token invalidation are thus pretty much the same as the ones we'd face with Biscuits; the "trusted code base" of key-handling code is comparably small.

Maybe I misunderstand your argument. I thought your main point was that pay may be high despite demand being low, and vice versa. I'm sure there are exceptional cases where this is true, but the examples you provided illustrate something very much counter to your point.

In your examples, pay and demand are low for all three professions, chemists, child care workers, and astronomers, according to the BoL.

Pre-rendered CGI has the benefit of time. You can spend more processing power rendering light and effects via ray tracing or more computationally expensive rendering methods. It can take several seconds to render each frame because you only have to do it once. Real time rendering requires trade-offs, and only recently did real time ray tracing for light, shadows, and reflections become possible. Compare a game using traditional rendering (using PBR techniques and a light function called the BRDF) to a game using full ray tracing, and you'll find the ray traced game to be more realistic. With PBR and the BRDF, all code is a kind of approximation for what the scene would look like based on our understanding of science. With Ray tracing, it's closer to a physical simulation of light.

Additionally, movies are usually recorded in 24-30fps, while games are rendered at 60-120-240 FPS. People who are not used to 60FPS can find the smoothness jarring (I certainly don't like watching 60fps scenes in movies, but regularly play games rendered at 60hz)

Sequencing DNA with nanopores: Troubles and biases
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8486125/

Based on what I'm seeing from 23andMe's website they only do genotyping, not sequencing.

https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/227968028...

"23andMe uses genotyping, not sequencing, to analyze your DNA. Sequencing technology has not yet progressed to the point where it is feasible to sequence an entire person’s genome quickly and cheaply enough to keep costs down for consumers. It took the Human Genome Project, a consortium of multiple research labs, over 10 years to sequence the whole genomes of just a few individuals."

Edit:

I guess they started providing whole exome sequencing, but I can't find information about what depth they're doing it at.

The foundation of simulation theory relies on a quantitative probability argument. It says by extremely high probability we live in a simulation. This is the logic that is hard to dispute. Your arguments here are not addressing that.

Weirdly it sort of relies on moores law. Just look it up. If you want to refute the theory you need to attack the main argument. The main argument sounds wrong but at the same time is hard to logically unjustify.
Very fun!

I'm seeing tons of slowdown when I try to merge things like "Sagitarius" and "Archer" and "Storm" and "Centaur". I guess this is the nature of the build, but I'm at least a little surprised it's hitting this kind of performance issue after only tens of objects.

Anyway, all of that aside, I'm having a lot of fun seeing what emerges from the combinations and I love that the wackier the merge result, the more fun it is to try it against all of the previous objects. Quite an addicting little loop! Great job!
It would have been a bad thing for consumers, which is why it's good that it was blocked by regulators. I don't believe it's always the case that an acquisition of a competitor by a large company is a bad thing, but it would have been in this one for sure.

The only problem is that it ruined my optimism about Figma's leadership and direction without actually changing the status quo at all.
Well it is obviously a bad thing, and goes to the heart of antitrust. US regulators understood this clearly all the way up until Reagan, and his DOJ instituted a paradigm shift that let companies get away with obliterating their competition through acquisitions - instead of assessing whether companies could compete in a healthy market, the focus became solely the impact on consumers. That’s why, under this new-ish paradigm, Amazon is fine, because prices are kept low through monopolistic and monopsonistic effects. The EU has a better enforcement paradigm that says a healthy economy can only exist where new market entrants can also earn a living, even if it means consumer prices aren’t the lowest they could possibly be.
Dall-E and Whisper are both impressive on their own; neither are LLMs.
Real time rendering limits the resources (CPU/GPU available) compared to re-rendered stuff (movies, TV shows, pre-rendered cut scenes). This puts a limit on the complexity of the models or environments in the scene, which makes it look less real.
I have no hopes that Broadcom will do anything beneficial with VMWare - only adjust product offerings to continue to suck as much revenue out of large companies who are slow to change things like virtualization technologies.

Broadcom bought Symantec a few years back and our Symantec Endpoint Security licenses expired - we ended up moving to another solution because we couldn't get ahold of anybody from Symantec to renew our license even after contacting them a month in advance - even our distributor couldn't get in touch with anyone from Symantec.

Broadcom sucks companies up and wrings every possible profit avenue dry and moves on to the next.

Yes, although PyPI doesn't currently do much attenuation or delegation with them (this is largely my fault, since I didn't fully understand their power when picking them for the implementation).

That's been slowly changing, however -- as of a few months ago, PyPI issues slightly more compact API tokens that make better use of discrete caveats. They're also used on the Trusted Publishing[1] side to make the API token self-expiring.

When you mention The Objective Information Criterion.
I assume you mean something that takes into account the complexity of the model. A model with more parameters might fit the data better but could also be at risk of overfitting.

But isn’t there already a blackbox measure of overfiting one that focus on how well the model generalizes to new, unseen data, rather than on the model’s complexity. Like Cross-Validation, hold-out validation or bootstrap method.
Would you argue the same way against a one-sided argument that slavery is bad?

Some things are one-sided for a reason: There isn't much to support the opposing side.

That doesn't mean that nobody would support the Jones Act, or protectionism in general, but those people are likely to be the benefactors and discount the negative consequences for society at large.

In general, protectionism is like taking $100 from each of us, burning 99% of it, and giving the remainder to one lucky winner. And what's worse is that it's not really money that we lose (we could always create more), but real-world value. We all collectively have far less as a result of protectionism, even though a select few might benefit from one piece of protection. Of course, they also lose to all the other forms of protectionism that apply to others. In the protectionism game, it's a dog-fight all the way down to zero.

Edit: And by the way, while the Jones Act was originally protectionism for the domestic shipping industry, which it immediately killed, now it is actually protection for the domestic TRUCKING industry. It would be much cheaper, with a much lower carbon footprint to ship things by boat up and down the coasts, or even from coast to coast sometimes, than trucking.

> claiming the 4 is the latest model,

It was at the time I believe, since that's a detail Engadget also mentions. In fact here, since you don't like that article: https://www.engadget.com/sony-investment-will-put-ai-chips-i...

> the sentence "According to Sony, it protects privacy by simply transferring metadata to the cloud and conducting all data analysis entirely on-chip" is quite contradictory.

How is that contradictory at all? The chip will indeed be more private than doing AI work in the cloud like most people do, because the actual data work stays on the chip, and only metadata is sent to the cloud. Obviously a really privacy conscious person won't be okay with sending only metadata to the cloud either, but the claim makes perfect sense from the perspective of a big company. It's not clearly written in the original article I provided, but the Engadget article backs up the core claim and phrases it more clearly, so here:

"Sony says it preserves privacy by analyzing data strictly on-chip and only sending metadata to the cloud."

> Also, the Sony press release they reference as a source (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/raspberry-pi-receiv...) has 0 mentions of cloud.

Yes but the [literal official website](https://aitrios-promo.wpp.developer.sony.com/en/services/edg...) for the product Sony is pushing says it:

> Build a privacy conscious system by utilizing edge side analysis of data and images and sending only the metadata output to the cloud.

I probably should've led with better sources for sure, but it was late when I responded and I was tired. I did my research on this thoroughly last year when all this came out originally and I was just trying to pull up something without thinking about it too hard. After all the facts of the case are literally an internet search away for those not too lazy.

Intel has used political incentives often though its history to great effect. I think its a much smaller issue than you think. Its part of their standard game-plan for over 30 years. The issue with boeing is becoming acontract company that into contracts out all their work which is self defeating and leads to brain drain. EX: the door lacking bolts because Boeing doesnt even build its own fuselages anymore and have let their standards fall, wholly depending on contractors with little oversight.

I remember when I saw a presentation by the macaroon authors a few years back, there were pending patents that Google filed around them. While the authors claimed Google wouldn't sue anyone, I'm always a bit skeptical about such claims. I thought macaroons would be helpful for some of my use-cases, but since I now knew there were patents that'd be wilful infringement so I didn't bother.

I can't find the patents now, so perhaps they were rejected or withdrawn. I had assumed that was why macaroons hadn't caught on more widely.

Edit: Found the patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9397990B1/
For China, I think it is a matter of critical political importance.

The whole deal with the Chinese people is that the CCP will provide economic development and prosperity in exchange for political control of the country.

As long as the economy is growing, the people were very happy to take that deal.

With economic problems, the deal looks a lot less appealing.

I unironically upvoted you:

> 1. never knowing anyone on a personal level in the company (no matter how long you've been there)

Good. My relationship with my colleagues should be based on respect and professionalism. I don't need to know them on a personal level, nor do I want to.

> 2. being perceived as a sub-human disposable 'resource'

I worked for 15 years prior to the pandemic in office. All companies perceive you as "sub human disposable resource". Just wait for a market downturn, and you will see that I am right. The only answer to this is treat your employer as "disposable employment that you need to pay bills"

> 3. never being promoted

Being promoted is for fools. You get more money by job hopping into a higher salary every couple of years, more or less.

> 4. often hired as contractors without same benefits as employees

Never happened to me as a remote worker. But the daily rates for some contractors I know give me pause, and I wonder if I should pursue this instead.

That's an enormous leap from, "We have no plans to further invest in it". It's more likely that they're going to create a new, Sensei-based solution in this category instead of creating yet another Figma-/Sketch-type solution.

Generally cars are going to be faster (it's point-to-point with no stops to let people on/off), or equivalently, they have greater range for the same time. If your goal is to physically remove yourself from downtown, they let you go a bit further. Also you don't have to deal with someone leaving their mac-and-cheese meal to stink up the bus. Getting away from such unpleasantries is kind of the point.
They've been doing that for months. Scummy behavior tbh. It happened right after the hack, but there's also a new crop of competitors that let you upload your raw 23andMe data, so there's speculation that it's trying to stop the outflow.

If you email them about it, you just basically get a copy-pasta reply restating the message on the site, and if you keep emailing them 3+ times asking for a refund (ask me how I know), they'll tell you you can manually upload identity verification and they'll get back to you in 6-8 weeks with the data.
Can't speak for them, but I've heard people balk at the Datalog part (IMO not an issue, but I'm not everyone)
Adobe XD was meant to take on Sketch, and failed at that, which meant it was fully two generations behind Figma. They couldn't compete, and as a company they have no capacity for making innovative web design products. They do seem to have a capacity for ruining the ones they buy, so I'm glad this attempt failed.
