I was mainly responding to the previous post that implied the A220 was inherently nicer than a 737.

I looked up the Breeze example given, and while the seats and cabin do look amazing, I don’t see why the same couldn’t be equipped on a 737. That’s more a function of what the airline wants, isn’t it?

The A220 I rode definitely did not “feel big in the inside”.

I (and I'm sure others) call this the idiocracy bias. While your friends are mulling over the ideal age and economic circumstances to have children, there are plenty of other families not thinking about this. They're having kids in their late teens and early twenties.

That doesn't mean we're doomed to live out the idiocracy future, but it explains this blog post.
A lot of comments about it being taste & not being able to change other people, but I also think the home is filled with what often ends up being a lot of invisible labor & that some people end up carrying a lot more load than they care to.

I used to want to be an astrophysicist or something similar in pursuit of understanding high energy/quantum/cosmic phenomenon and generally trying to do my small part in furthering our understanding of spacetime and the universe. However, The horror stories of getting a PhD and general complaints regarding the nature of academic research are a significant part of what lead me to change course and take an early exit from academia, and generally dissuaded me from that pursuit. The PhD's (Students and graduates) I talked to were all saying the same thing about terrible pay, terrible treatment, terrible grueling grinding hours, begging for funding that could fall through and sink your project no matter your merits or efforts or attempts to prevent it, the publish or perish culture, etc etc etc

At first I thought they were just jaded or cynical and I was just talking to the wrong people, or perhaps the local uni was just atypically bad in someway, but as I branched out and asked more people from more institutions I kept hearing the same thing pretty much universally. I heard it then (over a decade ago) and I hear it still now.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but of the many I've talked to, few feel it was worth it, and every single one agree it was a grueling grind regardless. And I fully understand that few things worth doing come easy, and that discipline and persistence can be valuable "rewards" in their own right (started my own business, more than once), but on the same token, that doesn't mean things need be so difficult or detrimental, nor does it mean that the process can't be improved or modified in some way so that it doesn't so mercilessly beat people down.

Guess that's a long winded way of me saying: yeah, no shit. It can and should be better, and am not the least bit surprised it's on the decline. How bad does it have to get before there's a serious, genuine effort to fix it? Additionally, if there is such an effort underway, what is it and how can I contribute?
I chose my words carefully after verifying their definitions.

And I believe in "Never Again", in any holocaust, genocide, apartheid, and similar - they should never be done.

Israel's government is hellbent on all of those things pertaining to the Gaza strip and the Palestinians.

Again, I would have figured the descendants of "The Holocaust" would have recognized that even war has limitations, and would have actually held to the ideal of "Never Again". But it really was turned into "Never again to us".

And to your "You're in a war. Famine and bombs are a war.".... There are indeed limitations, which Israel is grossly violating.

international humanitarian law prohibits the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare (API Art. 54, APII Art. 14

A similar article was written about the Danish vote to the right and journalist and politicians still don't seem to get it. The voters voted for this. Instead of talking down to them, and discrediting their votes, politicians and journalists need to start considering why the policies that were enacted by the governing party failed. Why did the voters reject those?

I think voters across the world are sick and tired of being told by politicians what they should do and think. It should be the other way around.
Long ago in 8th-grade shop class I wasn't feeling well and asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. He said no. Right then I projectile vomited all over him and his desk. All he said was "Ok, you can go."

Afterward he never refused any request I made for anything.
That's just awful. As a new parent I'm so much more keenly appreciative of these kinds of struggles. I found 4 weeks of pat leave and a very gentle re-introduction to work very challenging, let alone bringing up an infant without an income.

> It is still remarkably better than working with junior developers

It really bugs me when people imply AI will replace only certain devs based on their title.

Seniority does not equal skill. There are plenty of extremely talented "junior" developers who don't have the senior title because of a slow promo process and minimum time in role requirements. They can and do own entire projects and take on senior-level responsibilities.

I've also worked with a "senior" dev who struggled for over a month to make a logging change.

New Jersey is an excellent example of the difference between population and surface area. Despite being divided between two MSAs centred on neighbouring states, it's still worth 14 electoral votes on its own, and there are 78 senators representing populations smaller than NJ's.

Seems perfect for that school2prison pipeline.
I stuck my own narrative in here, perhaps I should have been clearer. One thing I see over and over again are people saying that there aren't enough highly educated Americans, hence why we have to import non-Americans. I'm trying to point out why that is - we've made it economic suicide to go into advanced science as an American.

At my university, the vast majority of the incoming PhD class in Chemistry and Biochemistry were American when I joined. When I left, it was closer to 50%, the other 50% being mostly Nigerian and Ghanan (no idea why those two countries specifically). The Americans had just been priced out.
Agreed, but that kind of reform ain't happening.

It's been stalled since the 2010s.

Everyone (maybe rightfully) up in arms, but I imagine you would need an agreement like this is they were finally getting on board with something like elastic compute. Everytime they spin up a new machine on your behalf they're essentially redistributing all the files on that machine. I understand everyones gun shy, but I've been using Vultr for years and I'm much less suspicious of them than the likes of google/amazon. I've personally never had an issue with them, but I definitely think it's a healthy response to go fight or flight when you're essentially signing all your rights away.
I feel quite the opposite. Improvements, even tiny ones are great. But what's more important is that more companies release under open license.

Training models isn't cheap. Individuals can't easily do this, unlike software development. So we need companies to do this for the foreseeable future.
Definitely - just did this. Last trip was in 2019, when I got 110 Yen for my GBP. This trip, all the Yen denominated prices were essentially the same, but I got 180 Yen/GBP - so everything was nearly 50% cheaper, resulting in a much more luxurious (and enjoyable) trip

It's a mistake to try to get these models to do math. Unless you explicitly have them solve problems in code they aren't going to work, they literally don't have the capability. They are usually ok to explain concepts though.

Google's core business model and that of the new AI companies (ie. ChatGPT) are diametrically opposed to each other: Google's most valuable business is having corporations bid on keywords such that their products/services will appear very high up when someone uses the search bar. The business model of the new AI companies is to have users pay a monthly fee for getting very good answers to questions about products/services or just general queries. Right now Google somehow tries to shoehorn their existing business model into these new chat based interfaces. This is obviously not going to work out because either you respond with shitty answers (with high bids) or disregard the bids but then you lack monetization. We're probably going to see a two tier market here (just as we do with Android/iOS): Free AI bots that give shitty replies influenced by bids/ads and premium ones that require a subscription.

In state tuition where I was rang up at about $3000/semester. It was waived by the school if you were a TA. If you were doing just research, it was paid out of the grant funds. Then I had to pay about $600 out of pocket on student fees per semester.
Thanks for the helpful input on this. Concerning the zen mode constraint, do you feel like the countdown timer is what's feeling off-putting to you, or is it the combo reset on shuffling?

We just went through a cycle where an entire nation of TikTok users were shown videos of students vandalizing bathrooms. The larger object you could steal, including entire urinals and toilets, the better. Search on "devious licks" and you'll find dozens of school districts that were fighting this problem.

At my local HS the answer was to close most of the bathrooms during class time and monitor visits, since putting live cameras in the bathrooms would cause an even larger uproar. Students always had access to a bathroom during class time, just one up near the admin offices that could be more closely observed.
Flatpak builds are not reproducible and why that's a practical problem (2022)
Absolutely, but for some reason pointing this out is considered massively classist in some quarters.

I don't really think it's classist to say that if people who don't value science, think climate change is fake, fear outsiders, etc. have 6 kids, and people who hold different have 1 or none, it will have a large impact on public policy in a generation.

That's a really, really complex line to draw. Suicide is by definition a choice a person makes for themselves. How do we decide where responsibility transitions from running your company (very) poorly to directly causing someone to decide to take their own life?

Definitely? The reality is that there is no high-quality research which establishes the healthiest weekly frequency of meat consumption. We can't say whether it's 0, 1, or some higher number. The studies so far have generally been too short, relied on subject reported data (i.e. junk), used proxy metrics only loosely correlated with overall health, had small effect sizes, and failed to control for confounding variables (i.e. healthy subject effect).

Let's have some humility in this area. There is very little in human nutrition that we know for sure.

It’s a tool you learn to use and improve with. How many hours of practice have you given the tool?

Personally I’ve been practicing for almost 3 years now going back to CoPilot so I would guess I have at very minimum a few hundred hours of thinking about how (what to prompt for, what to check the output for) and probably more importantly when (how to decompose the task I am doing into parts for which some the LLM can reliably execute) to use the tool.
I think the idea of requiring the review process to require replication would potentially be a good approach, given we're aware of the downsides. For example, I've worked in labs with sensitive data, or with proprietary processes that they would not want to share. This would mean the advocated process would result in a lot less sharing of methods. Maybe there's a chance there could be vetted independent labs that meet stringent security requirements, but that adds another layer of bureaucracy which could, again, result in less sharing of information. There's a balancing act to be considered, and I agree that we are probably too far on the one side of that equation currently.

Most of your rebuttals seem to hinge on "yeah, but that problem isn't unique to publishing." That is a kind of side-stepping that misses the point. The point is we need to create a system that mitigates those downsides, not ignore them. I I don't think a store manager would be okay saying, "Well, people steal from all kinds of stores, so we don't need to try to minimize theft." They recognize stealing is a natural outcome given human tendencies and create a system to minimize it within reasonable boundaries.
My favorite is The Startup Owner's Manual by Steve Blank and Bob Dorf. It has a roadmap for internet business and a ton of checklists to help you validate your ideas and reach potential customers.

Where does "the terrorist" end and me, you and anyone else just minding our own business get inserted instead? And let's say it's not even the gov doing this but some private company with public data, what's to stop the gov from buying "reports" from that company. 100% legal.

This is a very conscience decision by the democracy that has funnelled money elsewhere. if nothing else, you can be surprised that these effects have been so slow.

power to the people is, in this case, taking the better deal. work in the industry for double the salary (and still get to publish). People will move back to academia when the deal is on par (eg. more freedom to research the subject you find interesting?)
I suspect that we probably reached the peak of that effect decades ago though. With increased environmental degradation (ubiquitous microplastics, more processed food in the diet, etc.) I suspect we’ve begun a long downward slide decades ago.
