I'm guessing that it's getting down voted because it implies that the solution to bad science is to stop doing science. It's unfortunate if the poster was trying to say something different.

There are other solutions to "fixing" science: you demand more openly published data, look more critically at peer review, reexamine the tenure process, incentivize open source development, etc. It's possible that the poster was suggesting some of these things, but that wasn't clear.

Industrial research is great if you have a product you can sell, but there's a huge swath of science research where that doesn't work: you can't monetize JWST images or LHC data. Zuckerberg, whatever you think of him, isn't going to dump all his money into something that won't pay out at all in the near future, and will be shared by everyone when it does.
Economics Roundup #1
YNAB user here as well. Could you define exactly what you mean by

> not only projects cash over time by including known expenses and incomes over time, but adjustments so I can actively reconcile

To me I would say YNAB does all of that for me, I use goals in YNAB and that gives me the projection I need. The biggest piece that's missing for me (and maybe this is what you're referring to) is how can I be sure all of my goals for the month/year add up to what I'm projecting that I"m actually making. I go to a spreadsheet for this about once a year to be sure my goals aren't impossible. But to be fair it's pretty obvious when this is happening as my goals are red for each month.

Generally when I see folks complain about what you're complaining about and I walk through their finances they tend not to actually be budgeting, they really just want a way to look at where their money is going historically and have a couple buckets for saving cash. Mint was good at this (it's finished now) but I think YNAB and apps like it (Lunchmoney) are better
I’d be inclined to agree, but I would tend to be critiquing what GP actually said, which is the the gui is totally ‘non-native’. I think you were in part correct to read the ‘native looking ui’ portion into the comment though, it would seem to be a common refrain that gui’s need to appear conforming to the OS’s chosen aesthetic and visual formatting. However, a very real complaint echoed in a sibling comment is the failure of non-native gui’s to respect or implement the OS’s operating behaviors for gui’s. I have no issue with visual differences between applications, but I want clicking and keyboard behavior to remain constant across my apps.

As sibling implies, it’s a thousand small differences that build up, creating friction that foster the push to native GUI’s being the preferred, if not nearly mandatory, solution.

Some of my high school friends (a married couple, for the obvious reason) were grandparents before I had my first child. The great grandmother in this story was 50. Getting knocked up at 17 runs in families. I just checked the CDC stats and Oklahoma still has the 2nd-lowest age of mother at first birth for non-Hispanic whites, which is because that state has way too many churches and nowhere near enough sex education in schools.
Thanks for an amazing game! It provided one of our all-time top TTRPG experiences, and years later we're still laughing about what went down.

> Schools have to make kids do stuff that just isn't fun

No. That is not the function of schools!

Kids are full of energy and interest. A good teacher, combined with a well-designed syllabus and a good teaching plan, will then engage the kids. Of course, the lessons have to match the students' abilities.

A HUGE mistake is to compel students to do work that they haven't learned how to do. This mistake was inflicted on me by my maths teacher at a good private school - nominally a very good maths teacher, author or contributor to a number of school maths textbooks. I routinely had my homework returned as "wrong", but I wasn't taught how to do it right. As a consequence, I suffered a 5-year-long mental block in maths.

It sounds like Fresno schools are being run by concentration-camp commandants.

[Edit] OK, so some kids aren't wide-eyed and keen to engage, whether because of earlier school experiences or because of other experiences. Why compel those kids to go to school at all? You can't force kids to study (no, not even with apps!), so why force them to go to school?

I think that at least here in the UK, it's to do with keeping a lid on the numbers of unemployed; and with relieving working parents of childcare duties, so they can do jobs to pay their taxes.

You're talking about C/C++'s compilation model and ABI and there are plenty of others. ICF is a hack to deal with C++'s naive template expansion. There are lots of other languages that don't work that way at all and don't need a linker optimization like that.
I believe this is referring to a little board with an STM32G031 part that exposes a PMOD i2c interface and we use it for programming serial numbers into FRUID EEPROMs on the manufacturing line. It runs hubris, can be controlled by humility via SWD, and has just enough space to do this function. We have other dev boards using larger STM32 parts and didn't want to consume those for our manufacturing line stations.

Given the size of the part on here, and the limited I/O, it's not very useful outside of this use-case but works great here.
We went from "no phones in the classroom" to "make sure you take your phone with you to the shitter so we can make sure to track you properly" and that's pretty funny. Maybe instead of a hall pass you get "The Shit Phone" and have to sign in with your student ID.
> this source for example claims global life expectancy jumped from around 47 to 72 from 1950 to 2022

I believe this is because of reductions in child mortality more than increases in adult lifespan. So it doesn't affect the number of great grandmothers that much.

Having kids older is definitely a big change for society and individual families, though. Every day as a parent I wish I was 15 years younger and my parents were too. It would be a huge difference in our energy levels and that's so important when you're hanging out with young kids. And it's 15 years less time that we will be able to spend together with our kids.
I think the case for "axis must always go to 0" is overblown. Zero isn't always meaningful, for instance chance performance or performance of trivial algorithms is likely >0%. Sometimes if axis must go to zero you can't see small changes. For instance if you plot world population 2014-2024 on an axis going to zero, you won't be able to see if we are growing or shrinking.
Yeap, the dev acknowledged his absence[1] (also, linked in the post). He said app development is beginning again.

(I agree with you, however. Every time I'm about to download a new app I check its history/changelog. It's impossible to trust in abandonware, which isn't the case with Mastoot.)

I don't disagree but the reason schools are turning to alternatives is because schools can't afford the labor to do those things.
Tipping is still illegal if you know the recipient intends to trade. The person who asked him for advice trusted him with material non-public information, if he shares it and it gets traded on he's liable either way.

To be clear the person who asked for advice was not tipping because they had a reasonable expectation that he would obey securities law and not trade based on the information. They were asking for actual business advice.
We used to use a piece of paper called an "attendance sheet", with ruled lines on it. You can think of it as an excel-like app, with touchscreen stylus functionality and good battery life.
I bet the school administrators (and to a slightly lesser extent the teachers) love it, it gets them to offload a central part of their job. Now instead of disciplining students when they break rules, they can just offload it to an app and abdicate any responsibility. "Oh the app says you can't use the restroom? Guess you can't use the restroom, sorry!" Big "The Lady from Silicon Valley" vibes.
I look at it like this, if your data is on the internet, anyone can do anything they want with it, period.
Show HN: Qrlew, simple SQL to SQL-with-privacy written in Rust
Not gonna try to find a specific example, but just from having listened so much to the Stronger by Science and Iron Culture podcasts for the past few years, there have at least been numerous studies and metas over the last decade examining the effects of sleep on weight loss and weight gain as it pertains to bodybuilding goals. I don't recall any having showed an impact on the rate of gain or loss but duration of sleep opportunity definitely has an impact on the quality of gain or loss. That is, you lose more muscle and less fat losing weight while sleeping poorly, and gain more fat and less muscle when gaining weight while sleeping poorly.
This is one of the worst ideas ever. It seems like we love to treat students like they're toddlers until they're 18 then all of a sudden we expect them to act like they're autonomous adults. This isn't how you teach anyone independence.
I'm sure SEC has done their homework and knows what they are doing, but to me this is not that clear-cut case. Bechtolsheim heard a rumour that Acacia had gotten offer and traded based on that. But my reading is that to him it was just a rumour, he didn't know for certain that the deal was happening or what the terms of the deal were. Of course as a senior executive he should have known better, but still to me this is not the most heinous crime and closer to just a lapse of judgement.
Thanks, I'll have to try it out. Ideally I'd like to ask for a table with lettered/numbered columns and rows, and then just call out "B6 is 2.024" as I go.

When my were in school and had friends who were visiting great-grandparents in nursing homes (and in one instance great-great), I had to explain that my great-grandfather was a Civil War veteran, and that I'd only met my grandfather (who worked as a sharecropper alongside freed slaves and the children of freed slaves on my great-grandfather's farm) once. One of those children lived behind us when I was growing up, and if I'd paid better attention when helping him with his garden would have taught me how to plant by the moon and stars --- he did teach me how to gut and skin a squirrel.

I am completely bewildered why google hasn't started looking into a "Google Prime" where you get access to tons of google services, while also putting your privacy first.
I agree. There is only one situation where this arb truly exists: rate hikes that occur after you secure the loan.

Any other arb requires you to take non-risk free investments which, has obvious drawbacks.

That being said, I still dislike all cash upfront

AMD EPYC 7C13 Is a Surprisingly Cheap and Good CPU
Qualifications: I tutored math for about 10 years, I used to guarantee an A if you signed up with me, as long as it was still mathematically possible.

I think the roles of teacher and tutor are being confused in the "scale up" approach. Teachers have presentations that allow a large number of people to cover the material, with specific goals, verified by observing the class through testing.

A tutor covers the same ground, but in a much different manner. The tutor has an audience of one, and the goal is to fix errors in the student's understanding.

Only in a student that is ignoring the teacher will the tutor be the teacher. For every other student, the tutor assesses what the student's strengths are and what the student's weaknesses are, even if the student misreports their weaknesses.

Then the tutoring session provides explanation, guidance, and drills to fix the weaknesses. Often a weakness in solving one problem exposes underlying weaknesses, when that happens the session shifts till the underlying weakness is addressed, after which the session resumes on the upper level problem where it paused.

The rest of the tutoring is giving the student ample work which is completed under supervision, until the student builds skill. Good problem generation is often overlooked. Good problems rarely are the same problem with different numbers, good problems challenge the student to use the tools in a variety of different scenarios and problem formats. Eventually the student will tell you they understand it, and their work will support their claims.

So, watching someone else being tutored is like taking a bespoke suit and putting it on someone else. Yes, it might be wearable under some circumstances, but it's not going to properly fit the person the suit (or tutoring) was tailored to fit.
wow ..didn't realize he was so old .He was always on the tips of people's tongues, never seemed old or dated or faded away even at 90. He was at his peak intellectual influence or trajectory, which is uncommon for someone so old; most careers peak at 40-60. Not only that, his reputation fully unblemished and unmarred, which is also increasingly uncommon.

Conversely even people who start young don't necessarily end up having living great grandparents let alone grandparents. My parents were both the youngest of 6 and 7 kids so my grandparents who started having kids in their early 20s had already passed or were quite old by the time I was born.

this proves that all llm models converge to a certain point when trained on the same data. ie, there is really no differentiation between one model or the other.

Claims about out-performance on tasks are just that, claims. the next iteration of llama or mixtral will converge.

LLMs seem to evolve like linux/windows or ios/android with not much differentiation in the foundation models.

Good luck with that.

It's interesting to compare this some research which says that children of older fathers and grandfathers live longer. If I understand this article correctly, it's saying that if the paternal grandfather was also older when becoming a father, that's even better.

How about connecting 2 computers with 1Gbps Ethernet and using upto 125MBps?

Or if you really need USB3 for achieving the maximum speed possible - I would like to find an external 2GB disk with USB3 wiring.

If at least one of your PCs is a proper computer (not laptop/mini-PC with almost all of PCI interfaces just stubbed) having at least 1 free SATA slot then just take the disk from one PC and connect it to another.
> The complaint alleges that Bechtolsheim "knew or was reckless in not knowing" that the information he was given was non-public

There is a (small) possibility that he really didn't know (the second part of the complaint), but decided it's not worth a fight with the SEC cause it's such a small amount to him (and he has no interest in serving as an officer of a public company in the next few years anyway).

Though, the version others have said is still more probable: Reach people wanna get more rich, no matter the method.
Funny, this happened to me specifically.

We were an all Elixir (and legacy Ruby) shop with some wildly smart engineers.

Got acquired and jammed into another larger org. Got pressured to switch to Java and Go without considering that maybe our system was designed around the way OTP apps work.

Fast forward a few years and lots of us left, and found successful Elixir jobs where we were much happier elsewhere, making much more interesting technology.

Sounds more like an org problem to me.

It always bothers me when someone says it’s "cheating" to use a GLP-1 agonist.

It helps but the person losing weight still has to clean up their diet and start an exercise routine. There are still major changes they need to make to become successful. GLP-1 agonists help a lot of people make better decisions due to how they fight hunger. Less hunger means less chances to make bad choices when eating, and weight loss progress is a virtuous mental cycle where you keep doing what you’re doing because you see results.

None of that is cheating. There are still major changes one must make. Taking Ozempic but continuing to eat a trash-tier diet will yield little to no progress.
That's true for many, yes, but it's only true in terms of time, not number of calories needed.
yeah, the classism in the "poor/uneducated people are having too many kids!" always has this assumption that class and values are perfectly presevred across generations and ignores the social mobility and the fact that children are capable of making their own path and not just following in their footsteps.

children raised in big families by uneducated, closed-minded parents often rebel against their parents and espouse different views. just look at any subreddit that has youths are complaining about the backwards views of the parents/uncles/grand-parents -- i know it's not a representative sample, but children challenging their elders views is not an anomaly.

on the flipside, there's the trope of only children raised being raised by high-class, open-minded families turning into spoiled, selfish brats.
It's like for a few years the whole computing world forgot about security updates and went on a container bender, when woke up one morning realizing what they've done, and then started adding various clunky solutions on top: mutable tags, various tooling to take apart container images and inspect the junk in there, notify and scan for issues etc.
Heh. I knew a guy in his late thirties that was already a grandfather (do the math). I would bet that there's a good chance he's still around (I knew him about 40 years ago).

I like a lot of things about Elixir but I struggled with what felt like clumsy IDE capabilities. Stuff like 'go to definition' that I use all the time in other languages didn't work right. Lack of strong types makes autocomplete problematic. I've started to mess around with Gleam hoping that it spans this gap because I want to like this ecosystem.
If so, then this is a case of an occupier deciding which civil rights their occupied peoples have. Which makes this an apartheid practice. Which does not make this look better.

The economic situation of your mom having a great career is not the same as the economic situation of today; appeal to her hard work considered. People cannot afford to have kids like they used to. And yes, the older grandparents make this much worse because they’re now a costly liability rather than a useful child watcher.

I find the idea that people haven’t considered downsides of waiting to have kids to be grating personally
There are hundreds of land grant programs ranging from Tier 1 programs like UCB or UMich to regional state schools UAlaska Anchorage.

Just saying "R1, public land grant university" isn't relevant.

> I wasn't a great undergraduate and didn't have the background I'd have liked for the field I went into

That was your problem. Not "H1Bs" or "foreign" researchers.

UC Berkeley alone can graduate around 700-800 Bio and bio related undergrads (MCB, Chemistry, etc) a year. Let alone the dozens of other similar programs (UCs, UMich, UW, Big 10, Ivies, etc)

That said, with your background in structural bio you will do well in the bioinformatics and potentially even ML space, and will probably be able to realize some actual changes that you wouldn't be able to in the more traditional and hierarchical system that exists today in Life Science research.

Embracing the Future and Moving Back Again: From Server Actions to tRPC
The sad reality is that there are very few humans in the world who are “important,” and those who are important already have their funding needs met.

For the rest of us, when it comes time to seek funding, the first question investors will ask is “Who is asking for my money? Why should I care?” You can say you have a great idea. You can outline how millions of developers will definitely hop on board, and it’ll be the next big thing. You can do all of that, but you’re not the first one to make those claims.

The old adage of “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is certainly true. Who do you know? Who can vet you to these investors? If they saw that an Ivy league university liked you enough to accept you, or that a reputable company liked you enough to hire you, that’s a great first step. You have neither. The odds are against you.

You can keep trying — I encourage you to keep trying — and if this idea fails, try another idea. Keep trying. It may take years, which is a shame, but it’s what we’re talking about here. It may never happen.

Being “tired of the pedigree shit” isn’t going to do you any favors. You and I, and thousands of other entrepreneurs, are not entitled to VC money. We have to make the case for ourselves, and our ideas.
