In arguing against others' excessive optimism, IMO you've slid into excessive pessimism, which is just as much of a fallacy. If you're going to be this reductive about it, why don't you plant a flag on a hill somewhere and tell me what ISN'T a "colossal waste of time and money kept alive primarily by stupid romanticism"?

Of course everything you said is technically true. All research and exploration is a colossal waste of time and money right up until it suddenly isn't. You can say this about basically every scientific development ever. And yet, some of those bets paid off, and here we are.

Playing the cynic is always easy and always safe. But a cynic never invented anything, and cynics don't move the world forward. I'm glad people are pushing the frontiers, even if for now it looks like "a colossal waste of time and money kept alive primarily by stupid romanticism".

It is proportionate, IMO.

Palestine fired thousands of missiles at Israel after the Oct 7. Just because Israel is able to block most of them doesn't make it okay. Those missiles still count.

At worst, this is debatable but the protesters at google think that they are absolutely correct with no debate needed. I think they all should be fired, and their names should definitely be disclosed.

For them center is relative to the window and discussing AC unit placement as a conversation starter is a good idea.

> what exactly do you expect them to do about the routing? 384b gpus are as big as memory buses get in the modern era and that gives you 24gb capacity or 48gb when clamshelled.

I'm not asking for more than that. I'm asking for that to be available on a mainstream consumer model.

Most of the mid-tier GPUS from AMD and nVidia have 256 bit memory busses. I want 32GB on that bus at a reasonable price. Let's say $150 or $200 more than the 16GB version of the same model.

I think this is true for chemists with a lot of experience, but starting out in the field is brutal for most. Finishing your undergrad and realizing the most you can make is around $35k/year doing basic lab rat work is tough. The only other options are to go to grad school or leave the field entirely. The grad school route offers another 4 to 6 years of low pay and then possibly having to go through a post doc to ultimately land a job paying 80-100k/year. Tack on the student loan debt (from undergrad) and it paints a bleak picture.

Background: I studied chemistry as an undergrad and started a PhD after an internship at Merck. I couldn't see how I could support my family long term so I switched to tech.

There's an incentive problem here because litigation is so expensive. If the fine is large enough, it becomes more and more worth it for the company to fight it in court - and therefore more expensive to the regulatory agency's legal budget. The only folks who benefit from it going to court are private lawyers.

Whereas, settling meets the company's incentives (eliminating uncertainty), meets the regulator's incentives (bad behavior is stopped locally). The moral hazard created by making fraud seem less risky (because the punishments aren't that bad) is born by the public.

The solution here would be to limit the possible legal shenanigans that companies can use to increase the cost of taking a case to trial.

A software developer who earned a Bachelor's in chemistry once told me that he didn't find that the pay in chemistry was worthwhile considering the expertise and training involved. He said that the most available job for chemical research for someone with a Bachelor's was as a lab technician, which roughly earns about $40,000 USD a year: not bad, but far below an engineering or computer science graduate, despite the comparable difficulty for completing the degree.

For chemists who complete a doctorate, a brief search shows that a PhD graduate (after 4–7+ years of low pay as a graduate student after a Bachelor's) can plausibly earn about $125,000 USD with some luck as a starting salary as a scientist in industry. A Master's graduate can likely earn close to that. But I've heard that the job market is tougher for research positions—a fair number of people switch into other fields such as medical device sales and sales engineering (with eye-wateringly large salaries of plausibly greater than $400,000 USD a year from what I've heard), data science, or software.

But careers aren't only about the money, though. It sounds like the author of the submitted article has lived a fulfilling life without a primary focus on salary, and it certainly looks like people who enjoy chemistry research won't struggle financially for their efforts. However, there's still a salary gap, especially at the level of a Bachelor's: it looks clear that other fields pay a lot more for similar amounts of effort. Note that I lack personal experience in this field, though—people who have gone through this path likely have better, more specific insights about the career.
Strange! Are you on the latest beta of macOS? Do you have the whatever the heck it's called search indexing thing that Mac OS has disabled? Those are the only two things that I'm doing with my system that I can think of offhand. I like never have situations where I'm out of RAM and swapping and if I do it's never to the point where it's making my computer unusable. I even use VS code with a whole bunch of really complicated extensions installed for different workspaces and it's no issue.

I don't have diabetes but I know that when it comes to diet, it's very hard for people to change what they eat. Insulin seems to be the easier solution.

Changing to a strict low-carb diet might be the best solution but an injection a day is probably easier.

We see it constantly. Obesity can be fixed by diet and addiction is fixed by abstaining. But people aren't always able to change. Sometimes what's possible is better than what should be done. In this case, injecting insulin is better, in general, than a change in diet since most people are just not able or willing to change their diets. I've known people that have diabetes and I know for a fact that the first suggestion by the doctor was to change their diet. But ultimately insulin was used since their blood sugar level didn't change.

> A response needs to be proportionate, and also one needs to account for the causes of the attack in the first place.

You mention a list of reasons, but you forget to mention the most important: that the Palestinians were displaced from their homeland in hordes, often quite violently, in the 1940s to make room for current day Israel.

Just want an accurate depiction of the real reasons, so people are also able to kind of understand (tho not necessarily condone) the Palestinian response.

I have a lot of Israeli coworkers who I like working with, and would never wish them harm. Instead of taking sides, I really wish people understood how we got here, and what we can do to go forward from here. I think a fair path forward would be for both the west and Israel to pay massive reparations of some kind to Palestine, and just slightly re-visit the current drawing of the Israel/Palestine borders. Chances of this happening are slim tho, with western media portraying Palestinians as mindless Hamas terrorists.

It depends on which aspects you're trying to simulate accurately. If you consider the physically optimal implementation of any function (e.g. the optimal NAND gate), that system cannot be simulated in real time: the simulation will always be slower, pretty much by definition. Insofar that physics optimally implements itself, you cannot simulate reality in general without a massive performance hit (think about the recursive absurdity of the simulator simulating itself).

What you can try to do is simulate the most salient/important aspects of reality, but the more physically optimal these aspects become, the harder simulation of them will get. For instance, as our computers become faster and more efficient, fast simulation of our reality becomes progressively harder. That's without even considering the physical optimality of natural systems, of course, which I imagine is rather high.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing.

You could also ask what would happen if the group was pro-Trump, pro-life, or anti-affirmative action, all of which are positions with more support than anti-Israel protests. They would also be fired.

As awful as these groups are, they generally do not routinely feel entitled to disrupt their own* workspaces.

I don't deny your point that a more popular position may get more lenient treatment, but I also can't remember any of these groups attempting this so boldly so seems like a moot point.

edit: added "their own" for clarity
My guess is if Google wanted to fire them for it (even if it was less aggressive) they could have.

In most countries you can go on strike, but there are rules and laws on how to do so. Doing some other form of protest (like they did) is likely going to be a violation of workplace policies in a way not protected by law.

I used to think the same as you. Obviously, Palestinians are wrong, right? They rape and murder Israelis? Well, look < 100 years back, and "Israelis" did the same to Palestinians when they forced out Palestinians from their homes to make present-day Israel. Obviously, there was a lot going on in Europe at the time, so it's a bit hard to blame the "Israelis" from 1940s completely too.

Understanding how we got here tho is very important. It helps humanize Palestinians, understand why they're mad, and what we can do to peacefully move forward. I believe there is a peaceful solution to the almost 100 year long Israel/Palestine conflict, however unlikely it is to come to fruition.
