I think hostility is easier for people to bear than indifference. A narrative of "they kept us down" implies that you're important enough for them to give you attention. Indifference might be especially humiliating when one's self-concept becomes wrapped up in a sense of one's own growing power. "I've been growing and growing and growing, and yet they're still not respecting me?" I think a tiger, viewing itself as powerful, would find it more humiliating to be a pet than to live in a cage.

To provide more specifics:

Red ripped off JPEG2000, and the derelict USPTO awarded them a patent on it... which was upheld at some point by some equally ignorant judge.

It's such a blatant rip-off that you can actually use an off-the-shelf JPEG2000 decoder to read Red's files.

Until software patents are ruled invalid (as they were supposed to be from the beginning), corporations will continue to use the patent system for exactly what it was supposed to prevent: the theft of other people's work.

Nikon managed to "prevail" over Red in a dispute over these patents, but not in a public-benefiting way. Red folded, but unfortunately their patents were not invalidated. So nobody should be crowing too loudly over this deal.
"Specifically, we treat each original sentence in the document as an index and the document itself as the object of the index, allowing the LLM to memorize documents and build indexes through self-supervised learning"

This is clever, I haven't seen an effective way to train an LLM to search a document yet and I can imagine this being very effective. I suppose this relies on the over fitting you get when fine tuning on a very small dataset.

And objectively speaking, the fact that everything Musk micromanages is an abysmal failure is proof that Musk was not behind the rockets, or the EVs. SpaceX was going nowhere until Shotwell took over. Tesla was going nowhere until Musk brought in qualified executives from other carkmakers. Boring's a failure to launch. Neuralink is touting "accomplishments" that were already accomplished decades ago. X is worse now after 1.5 years of Musk ownership.

That matches 100% the skillset/mindset of developpers.

Whereas XML has too many quirks and tricks, that it requires a dedicated API [aka DOM API] that you must learn and master.

XPath is the tool of choice for XML traversal. VERY versatile and super readable, but it cannot beat the ultimate flexibility of the functional programming.
Not really. Publish or perish does not force academics to commit fraud or to abuse their subordinates. It does not force them to behave unethically. Professor Dias choose to lie, choose to abuse, and choose to submit papers with fake data.

I agree publish or perish may not be the best system but we should not excuse people for being corrupt. People can and do chose to behave ethically. Those who don't should be punished.

Funnily I use Javascript in Chrome to deal with XML data. And the support of X[HT]ML is still top-notch.
If you squint at XML, JSON, or YAML you see a kind of lispy data-structure shape, an n-arry tree. The reader has a context stack that they are pushing and popping from as they read. The real problem is that every problem space is isomorphic to one that has successively tighter context. And a format that is applicable to every problem is one that is applicable to no problem. I believe that computer languages must get worse at some things to get better at others in a zero-sum way. Any attempt to avoid this trade-off leaves you with a very powerful mush.

ASCII only is not a feature, and I honestly doubt anyone would try to argue that it is if this was about any company other than Apple. Try to look past the "who" and focus on the "what".

When you are young, and you are researching something as a PhD student, it really can seem like the most important thing in your life. All of your waking thoughts (and late night thoughts) can be shaped by it. When you walk outside you're not even noticing things around you but you're lost in thought about the current problem.

This is why it's so important to have some "spiritual" life of some sort as you cultivate an academic career, where you can practice appreciating the truly valuable aspects of life, and be grateful and peaceful when you need to be. For many people on this path you don't learn these things until much later in life. This is reinforced by your entire life being dictated by grades and exam scores until the moment you start your research.

XPath is great. 1.0 anyway, after that everything but the new functions was nonsense.

But do note: XPath is not an xml dialect, it’s a non-XML DSL being applied to documents.
Hah, what a sad insight about how much you value human life vs the amount of money that could be made.

I doubt the men being fooled into war (nor their families) will see any money, if they meet a bullet (high chances of that happening) then the Putin regime can just stonewall any payment.

But hey, why not be such an agent. Get a commission from the regime for each man you send to their death. Sounds like a great way to make money if you have no morals.

We all know how great a company Apple is(sigh), but even they make mistakes. Stop defending stupidity just because it's Apple being stupid this time.
I think you're deceiving yourself with your implication that cheaters tend to be "extremely intelligent." Being able to exhibit intelligence in short bursts is not the same capability as being able to exercise it for hours a day, for months on end, in a mental marathon like academia or many other career paths require. The cheaters that you're referring to, are at best, clever, which is inferior to being intelligent.

You may believe that they simply lack the desire to use their intelligence over a longer timespan, but there is effectively no difference between never wanting to do it and not being able to do it.

There may occasionally be cheaters who cheat because they get a kick out of it, and happen to be intelligent, but that isn't the norm.
To your first point flexibility is not free. You have to choose when to be flexible and when to make assumptions to make things simple. Flexibility can only reduce the cost of making changes, but not eliminate it entitely.

>whenever I get handed code I find myself being more productive rewriting routines rather than using what was handed to me that has zero documentation and is typically made for a very specific use case.

Their is a cost to rewriting code. Code can have all sorts of information and knowledge for handling things correctly baked into which makes rewriting hard to do at scale without having a strong understanding of the problem. I personally don't think code level documentation really matters that much in the grand scheme of things. The version history, being able to see why code is the way it is, is orders of magnitude more important and is where the real savings come from.

>I also think the not listening to power users plays into this.

There is a difference between not listening to power users and what I was saying about not designing software for power users when the goal is to sell to the mass market. Yes, power users likely know the biggest pain points and have insight on how to make the product better. Even if they are right in finding something that makes the product better for them, it is possible that such a change would make the product worse for the millions of normal users.
I agree with the high level point, but I’m not sure I have similar experiences. No system I’ve worked on has ever directly logged over-the-wire bytes (for obvious privacy reasons), so really the protocol can be binary. In fact, for years now most of my work has been with ProtoBufs, which has amazing tooling and an oft-forgotten text format for us mortals.
Maybe implementing `foo LIKE '%bar%'` in a columnar DB backed by SSDs. Even if you're not strictly CPU-bound, there's a scale where you might care about the power use.
+1 to this podcast, it sheds a ton of light on exactly how we ended up with JSON taking the wheel. Listened to it on a flight from Stockholm back to Helsinki and arrived a marginally better programmer as a result of it.
> Now 18 years later, JSON seems to have displaced it.

More like, the people who didn't understand XML was designed to simplify HTML's SGML serialization moved elsewhere to misuse JSON (and YAML, and other things), the use cases and limitations of which they also failed to understand.

From the XML spec (edited by Tim Bray, the author of the linked blog):

> XML is a subset of SGML that is completely described in this document. Its goal is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. [1]

The downside of an approach like this is that it limits you to a single programming language on both the frontend and backend. This is exactly the reason RPC frameworks like gRPC use an IDL.

Peer review is not a magic thing which can detect all mistakes and prevent all fraud. The biggest problem with peer review is people assume it means published research is correct. I do not think that peer review can do that. I think peer review at best gives good feedback to honest researchers and catches some mistakes.

Here are my reasons why I think peer review will not reach a higher standard.

1) Peer review is hard work and probably tedious. In order to do a really good job, someone would have to spend tens or hundreds of hours reviewing a paper. The best reviewers would actually replicate the research. This probably will not happen often.

2) Peer review is not rewarded. No one is going to get tenure for being an excellent reviewer.

3) Good reviewers may even be punished. Unfortunately, many humans do not like critical feedback and hate having their work invalidated. Some of these people take revenge, and "shoot the messenger".

I think the solution is to stop thinking something is correct because it is published in a peer reviewed journal. Instead, people need to recognize that while the scientific process may eventually get the right result, it often makes mistakes, and is not perfect.
That would be plausible if they stuck to their guns for as long as possible.

In this case, they suspended the account, put themselves further into the spotlight, and then reactivated the account.

I think that having children put things in a different perspective/context. which makes your analysis of existence quite different.

I know that the day I held my son I felt something click/change in my mind. I can't really describe what changed, just that my priorities changed.

I still cant really aptly describe what changed... and it's been nearly 16 years to the day that he was born. (and I've also had a daughter (13) as well)

oh also, having children is a form of immortality. I know that my impact on the world will carry on, and I'm pretty pleased with the form that it takes.
Sounds perfectly rational to me: the host does not tell the participant that they don't know which is the winning cup.

The participant then assumes, quite rationally, that they are being tricked into losing.

This is a really poor experiment, to be honest, because it is measuring the host's appearance of honesty, not the risk appetite of the subject.
I had no idea, thanks for sharing!
I talked to my advisor about this when we butted heads and he didn't see it this way at all. I am free to change advisors at any time and there is very little he can do to stop it. And thereby he looses all the time he invested in me. So it's really in his interest to make sure we get along. You just need to find another professor that likes you if you wanna switch. People don't jive with advisors regularly and at least in my department it happens regularly that people jump teams
The decision to lock down JSON without comments was a good one, stopped all these proxy languages developing in it, like what happened with XML.
How would this work in a serverless scenario where handler side runs in a Lambda for example?

It seems a bit of a chicken and egg in this case.

A service needs to register itself with a control plane. But for the service to start it needs to get a request (via lambda invocation).

Most UK universities consists of colleges [1], and you study at one of them. Durham is one of the ones that has colleges [2].

He is this both studying at Durham University and in a college.

While you're right the terms are usually used the way you point out in British English, and it would have been unusual for a British article to describe him as a college student because it'd be misleading, if being pedantic the language used is technically correct even when used in the UK. Certainly when writing American English in a US publication about the UK.

[1] Not all, as far as I know. E.g. I don't think LSE or Kings or any of the other former University of London colleges that are now full universities in their own right have their own colleges (they're still part of University of London, but gained the right to apply for university status in 2018) but I might be wrong about that.

You should know that the 'Marshmallow Test' is a poor study. The general conclusions after follow up were that children had an intrinsic self-control mechanism that influenced success rates in later life. However, the original experiment failed to control for several factors, least of which was socio-economic status. Subsequent controlled replications show that these factors have a significant influence on the outcome, suggesting that resisting temptation is less about self-control/will power and more about food security. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6050075/

The funny thing about this discussing is that no one seems to care about the actual problem that is being solved by XML rather then just serialising and deserialising some data used by one piece of software. XML is mainly useful for exchanging data between organisations in a pre agreed format and schema where everyone is doing something else with the information. I'm implementing XBRL right now, and I can't say that I enjoy it, but I also wouldn't know how to do it better except maybe in some superficial way. Sure XML is bloated and maybe something like RDF/TTL would be better because of build in support for links, multiple languages and datatypes but that still leaves the problem of having to deal with whatever is expressed in a taxonomy that can be GB big.

I changed supervisors 5 years into my Mathematics PhD program.

As in your case, everyone was cordial. But even so, it was immensely difficult, because, as you said, there was no protocol for "breaking up" with the supervisor I was working with.

Luckily, he broke up with me when it became apparent that the academic relationship isn't working out, and he saw that I'm ~seeing other people~ attending conferences in a different field.
