Steve Albini has produced two of my favorite records, Surfa Rosa by The Pixies, and Pod by The Breeders. I also quite enjoy Rich Man's 8 Track which is a collection of some of the best Big Black songs. Albini's band Big Black is not for everyone, but if you're a fan of angry punk catharsis you owe it to yourself to check them out.
Personally I don't expect QC to be a competitor to ML in protein structure prediction for the foreseeable future. After spending more money on molecular dynamics than probably any other human being, I'm really skeptical that physical models of protein structures will compete with ML-based approaches (that exploit homology and other protein sequence similarities).
Nothing in that disagreed with my statements.

Might be easier to come up with new models with analytic solutions if you have a probabilistic model at hand. A lot easier to evaluate against data and iterate. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we develop better tools for introspecting these models over time.
Good article, if a bit too long. When it comes to retirement savings, I grapple with the same dilemma I have with other areas like drugs or gambling. What is the sweet spot on the spectrum where one end is a draconian nanny state dictating everything with minimal personal freedoms, and the other end is complete personal freedom to do anything one wants to themselves and live with the consequences.

Like many things in life, the correct balance seems to be somewhere in the middle - a basic amount of mandatory retirement saving, incentives to save more if one wants to while capping those incentives so that ultra-rich don't game it, a minimal safety net for the unluckiest among us funded via taxes, freedom for one to invest in what they want, strict rules and regulations on providers of retirement plans & vehicles to prevent fraud. American system seems to have a lot of basic components in place and may need only some small tweaks, relatively speaking, to find the right balance.

This contradicts the common claims about cold brew. Do you have any references on it? When I google it now, the first answer I get says hot brewed gives a pH around 4.8 and cold brewed around 5.1, which if true is a 2x difference in acids. My home tests with pH strips show drip and pour overs to be a bit more acidic than a very fast aeropress.

There are low acidity beans, and as I just found out additives to counteract acidity that won’t compromise the flavor, such as baking soda. I guess I might head more in that direction and stop worrying about cold brewing.
Could the dark secret you seek be "debian isn't for bleeding edge packages"?

Are you going straight from 8-10 cups a day to 2-3? It might help to taper the dose over time, say doing seven cups for a few days, then six, etc.
I think this may be a better way to explain it. Supposed someone comes up with a C# proposal that defines a way to introduce the Result type enum system that Rust has as a replacement for Exceptions. Supposed this is a pretty solid plan, easy transition, we can make a magic button that all the code bases when upgrading to the next version of C# just has to press the magic button and its done. No more expcetions, you now have Result return types. Lets also supposed this proposal has a large amount of the community on board with it. At the end of the day, that proposal will live or die by someone (or some group) at Microsoft.

Now granted, I don't know if it would be different with Java and Oracle. But that is the point. A significant enough change proposal for C#, supposed like above, a change proposal that goes against where Microsoft thinks the development path of C# should be, that is the important bit. So long as contributions and feature request align with Microsoft's interest, its all good, but if the community has large support for a contribution or change request that doesn't align, then it may be different.

Addition: Although arguably, this is true for most languages. Even FOSS languages have some type of leadership that those big shifting proposals will live and die with. Not intending to cast anyone in a bad light, but just a project leader and a project I am familiar with. If a proposal that was as ground shifting as the proposed above was suggested for Zig, whether or not the project does it, the decision of whether to do it may live or die depending on Andrew Kelly or his close knit team of contributors to Zig. Same could be said about Rust, the project has leadership and they could kill a popular proposal. Even outside of languages. The linux kernel, a feature or restructure may live or die by the hand of Linus Torvalds.
Competitive online games commonly predict the player's movement. Network latencies have improved and are now usually <16ms (useful milestone since at 60fps you render a frame every 16.6ms), but players expect to still be able to smoothly play when joining from the other side of the continent to play with their friends. You usually want every client to agree where everyone is, and predicting movement leads to less disagreement than what you would get from using "outdated" state because of speed-of-light delays.

If you want to predict not just position but also orientation in a shooter game, that's basically predicting the mouse movements.

It means we now have an accurate surrogate model or "digital twin" that can be experimented on almost instantaneously. So we can massively accelerate the traditional process of developing mechanistic understanding through experiment, while also immediately be able to benefit from the ability to make accurate predictions, even without needing understanding.

In reality, science has already pretty much gone this way long ago, even if people don't like to admit it. Simple, reductionist explanations for complex phenomena in living systems don't really exist. Virtually all of medicine nowadays is empirical: try something, and if you can prove its safe and effective, you keep doing it. We almost never have a meaningful explanation for how it really works, and when we think we do, it gets proven wrong repeatedly, while the treatment keeps working as always.

In order to make vision-only depth sensing work well, you need ground-truth data. Buying a few thousand lidar to get a ton of ground-truth training data for the NN to learn distance on its own from vision is an obvious move. They're not switching to Lidar.

Agreed. At the very least, models of this nature let us iterate/filter our theories a little bit more quickly.
Not even remotely close.

This is clearly R&D just to validate the images from their vision approach.

Recent AMD processors need to be AMD pro series to support ECC. Motherboard support is also required. On intels side I think standard Xeon type commercial boards very often support it. Unfortunately you’ll likely need to ask around when buying to ensure it supports it. If you can, getting a mini ATX known-good mobo in a small case may be easier.
Yeah. I was just using the A to M chip name transition as an easy landmark to compare against.

The DeepMind team was essentially forced to publish and release an earlier iteration of AlphaFold after the Rosetta team effectively duplicated their work and published a paper about it in Science. Meanwhile, the Rosetta team just published a similar work about co-folding ligands and proteins in Science a few weeks ago. These are hardly the only teams working in this space - I would expect progress to be very fast in the next few years.

Maybe normalizing society to a four-day work week would make 4-day School weeks successful as well.

A big reason is that kids would get an extra day with parents. In a 5-day work society, 4-day school kids have one day where they're "abandoned" - not being taken care of by either parents or teachers. In a four-day work society, the extra "weekend" day can be spent with parents.
Candidates for software engineering roles normally hold a degree in a relevant field.
I wonder if ML can someday be employed in deciphering such black box problems; a second model that can look under the hood at all the number crunching performed by the predictive model, identify the pattern that resulted in a prediction, and present it in a way we can understand.

That said, I don’t even know if ML is good at finding patterns in data.

> We have yet to find any strikingly novel compounds in the GNoME and Stable Structure listings, although we anticipate that there must be some among the 384,870 compositions. We also note that, while many of the new compositions are trivial adaptations of known materials, the computational approach delivers credible overall compositions, which gives us confidence that the underlying approach is sound.

Doesn't seem outright useless.
If your problem is with the class of product, then you should know to stay away/keep your kid away. If the product has broken with the class (say, adding asbestos to kids' clothes), then we would want to regulate that. Really, as long as the product is staying within the general confines of the definition of the class, then it's up to the consumer to educate themselves and know better.

For a fun and controversial example, one could look at the RNA vaccines for COVID. Those had some properties that separated them from traditional vaccines such that people relying on the class of "vaccine" might have felt misled. As such, you would have expected government regulation to inform the consumer on the difference to expect in that scenario (which the government did).

I don't feel I understand what you see as so complicated here.
Indeed, there are different interpretations of the social contract.

You have essentially two polar options.

First option is that social services come with strings attached that entitle the providers to control the lives of the recipients.

Second is that social services are freely given, and the recipients have not given up their autonomy. the givers can choose to stop giving, or place conditions on gifts, but they dont get direct control over the recipients.

Either are fine in theory, but the problem is with ex-post recontracting. for example, when a gift or service is freely given, and then someone demands payment later.

There are some interesting works of fiction that explore alternatives. For example, allowing adults to choose how much of their autonomy they want to abdicate for differing levels of entitlements and guarantees.
What a bizarre article. So Katherine Maher was apparently CEO of Wikipedia, and CEO of NPR, and said some rhetoric about diversity and combatting disinformation. So what? Signal is encrypted, and it's a private messenger - not a social network. It's not the kind of platform where you can ban influencers you don't like, because it doesn't have influencers. And you can't censor messages because, once again, they're encrypted.

It also alleges some kinds of deep-state connections due to an early grant it received, but fails to present evidence of anything nefarious. Remember, Tor was a US government project too - it doesn't mean they control it.

It's clear the author doesn't like the woman's political views and affiliations with center-left causes, but unless he's worried about Signal selling tote bags during pledge drives I just can't see the relevance.

(there are _so_ many ways to do this on Windows for free.)
The state of Bluetooth on Windows is just an absolute nightmare. My job is building a widget that streams realtime data over Bluetooth from a Windows system. It's so bad that we've totally given up on thr native Bluetooth drivers and are implementing our own stack with an external Bluetooth chip over USB.

If you build an application which scans for Bluetooth devices, the native windows Bluetooth pairing menu no longer functions. We have to stop our application before Windows will show or pair anything. Many functions just don't work, like some of the device descriptor messages. We had to do a thing where we connect to any device that appears to be ours and ask it what it is. If a device disconnects, windows takes up to 15 seconds to fire a disconnect event. There's no way to tell if a device is actually present, you just try to connect to it and catch the exception when it fails.

Windows also can't do Bluetooth audio sink and source simultaneously. On Windows 7 or any Linux distro since 2010 you cab play music on one device, pipe it into your computer and back out through a different bluetooth device.

It would be laughable if it weren't costing me money and sanity.
In 2014, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) accidentally assigned overlapping sets of serial numbers for replacements notes to its currency-printing facilities in both Washington, D.C. and Fort Worth, Texas. The overlap occurred from serial numbers B00000001* to B00250000* and B03200001* to B09600000*. On the lower right-side of the front of the note, the letters “FW” with the face plate number indicate it was printed in Fort Worth.

No. However I think most "modern" languages make a big mistake because they don't address interoperability. Rust is great if you only write in rust, but if you have millions of lines of C++ it is really hard to fix a simple one line of code bug in rust. Rust cannot talk C++ - it can at least talk C but you lose the advantages of rust. Now imagine you have C++, rust, go, and ada teams fighting about which is best - they have to drop down to 1972 C to work with each other. (note that I carefully excluded D since D does have some C++ interoperability)

I do not know the best way for any modern language to take to any other modern language - but 1972 C is a big negative to them all.

This says it works on just-noticeable-differences. Would this work well if the quality of the compressed audio is very poor? Could one for example compare two speech codecs at 8Khz, 4bit against the original source to find out which one sounds better?

Or should one just... I dunno, calculate the mean squared error in some sort of continuous frequency domain, perhaps weighted by some hearing curve.
100% revenue != valuation of company if that's what you're implying.
I think at some point, we will be able to produce models that are able to pass data into a target model and observe its activations and outputs and put together some interpretable pattern or loose set of rules that govern the input-output relationship in the target model. Using this on a model like AlphaFold might enable us to translate inferred chemical laws into natural language.
Interesting... if you sob and moan to YT or Instagram about not having enough followers or views they'll tell you to replace the word "algorithm" with "audience", so people. It makes sense, if your content is not popular with people no algorithm will surface it (recent tweaking of Instagram algo notwithstanding). But if we follow that interpretation we have to admit that it's not the algorithms that are toxic, but people. So what Ofcom is asking tech companies is to "tame" toxic people. Good luck with that. Parents have to realize that computers, phones, or tablets help sometimes unsavoury characters get in touch with their children. We do not allow strangers into daycare centres, schools, or children's hospitals, so why do we allow strangers unrestricted access to our children via the devices we give them? Parents need to be told to take responsibility for who has access to their children.
> The vast majority of these things are not all that important to most people

Hmm I don't think you and I share the same definitions of "most people" then, or "important" for that matter. Just to give 2 examples:

>85% of US adult population uses smartphone. The way smartphone revolution has occurred and the big role they play in our lives (entertainment, communication, public services, finances) in just 15-16 years since its invention is truly astonishing.

>90% US households have a car. ~40K Americans die every year in car road accidents. Improving car safety is literally a matter of life and death and numbers prove[1] that we are doing better over time.
