> But you still have all of the expensive/slow stuff like plumbing, electrical and finish carpentry that still has to be done.

I did some research on modular construction recently to use in a talk about modular software design. This tech is getting really cool!

You can nowadays get hotel modules that are full pre-built suites. Comes with all the plumbing, electricals, even furniture. Bed and everything already bolted into place. You just lift it to your hotel’s superstructure, plug in a water pipe, an electric connection, and a sewage connection. Boom. New suite added.

I’m sure similarly pre-fab modular family homes exist. We have the tech, question is whether we have the demand.
But for what purpose would an AI generative assisted image actually do for science? This is an issue I have with the gung-ho AI crowd that thinks AI should be used for anything and everything all the time.

Even if you trained the model against the most detailed images available. That data was a mere snapshot of the exact time it was taken which in some cases is decades old. If things are actually changing on these bodies, then using that stale data to update current images would actually be damaging to science as it would be attempting to make the current look like the old. No! We need to see what it looks like now for the comparisons.

Enhance! It can only go so far. Otherwise, you're just a low-rent Hollywood SFX team generating new worlds for whatever space opera you weren't hired to work on.

Sure; but it’s hard to do and very few programs get optimised to this point. Before reaching for vector instructions, I’ll:

- Benchmark, and verify that the code is hot.

- Rewrite from Python, Ruby, JS into a systems language (if necessary). Honorary mention for C# / Go / Java, which are often fast enough.

- Change to better data structures. Bad data structure choices are still so common.

- Reduce heap allocations. They’re more expensive than you think, especially when you take into account the effect on the cpu cache

Do those things well, and you can often get 3 or more orders of magnitude improved performance. At that point, is it worth reaching for SIMD intrinsics? Maybe. But I just haven’t written many programs where fast code written in a fast language (c, rust, etc) still wasn’t fast enough.

I think it would be different if languages like rust had a high level wrapper around simd that gave you similar performance to hand written simd. But right now, simd is horrible to use and debug. And you usually need to write it per-architecture. Even Intel and amd need different code paths because Intel has dumped avx2.

Outside generic tools like Unicode validation, json parsing and video decoding, I doubt modern simd gets much use. Llvm does what it can but ….

Yes, there are, which honestly makes this entire article premise a bit bizarre. Double blind and all that is an ideal, not a requirement. It can't be a requirement, because whether we can run double-blind or any other kind of study is not always a matter of how good we are or how much effort we are willing to put in, but a characteristic of the thing we want to study, as it is here. It's hardly the only drug where the participants can have a pretty good guess whether they're on a placebo or not. As just an example off the top of my head, I doubt there were a whole lot of chemotherapy testers who thought they were vomiting for days and losing their hair due to a placebo.

Contrary to frequently-expressed opinion online, we are not in fact constrained to running only super-massive-sample-size triple-blind preregistered peer-reviewed gold-plated scientific studies and only permitted to say we might have an opinion if a metanalysis of multiple of those concurs. It's nice when we can do that, but the universe is not always so accommodating.

Are there economists who share your view on this? I don’t see how the issue of repackaging CDS and related products by a financial rating agency has anything to go with the government.

If you’re saying that the government forced buyers to abandon due diligence… I think we will have to disagree about the facts of the GFC
This is pure math, so not much, at least directly or immediately.

But I find it amusing how this argument always comes up and how it goes back millenia.

A student of Plato (428 B.C. -- 348 B.C.) once asked the great master, "What practical uses do these theorems serve? What is to be gained from them?" Plato's answer was immediate and peremptory. He turned to one of his slaves and said, "Give this young man an obol [a small Greek coin] so that he may feel that he has gained something from my teachings. Then expel him."

High productivity is certainly necessary for high wages. But this makes the original article's point even more mysterious: if the workers had high productivity before the industrial revolution, that high productivity was not caused by the industrial revolution: so what caused it?

And high-productivity is certainly no guarantee of high wages. E.g. mothers arguably produce everything, but that's not a waged job at all.

So what was it which was propping up workers wages in pre-industrial England? What was preventing employers from eroding workers wages using the same tactics which, say, software companies are eroding engineering wages? w.g. making unnecessary layoffs, firing older workers and replacing them with younger workers, negotiating tacit anti-poaching agreements, etc?

What were they doing right that we are doing wrong :-)

Well, the two authors of the paper he's talking about are also amongst the foremost mathematicians in the world today. James Maynard won the Fields medal a couple of years ago. So they've probably got used to approbation from the likes of Terence Tao. Nonetheless, exciting!

>mostly same stuff you had before but upgraded. You are confused why everyone is losing their minds over it

That's a good way of thinking about this. [Showing my age here], I remember being unfazed about the web in the mid 90s, thinking to myself "I already have Encarta which does hypertext with multimedia so well, why do I need this new thing populated by random people".

But of course the web did have a lot to offer. I suppose I keep coming back to "Quantity has a quality all its own" - sometimes even a relatively small upgrade makes an existing solution suddenly accessible to more people and a viable solution to more problems.
Not exactly one to one, but I feel like Leslie Lamport kind of fits into that?

Lamport has touched a ton of aspects of computer science and made many contributions, but manages to still explain things in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. I feel like his talks are just as fun to watch as they are educational, and I think his papers are generally very approachable while still being pretty information-dense.

This is specious. Religion is clearly centered around the spiritual and physical beliefs about the world and the practices of a specific group.

I don't really get what you are saying here. RTCs are designed precisely to allow one to draw statistical conclusions which would be untenable due to confounding effects that would be impossible to disentangle otherwise, particularly in regimes where effect sizes are small and results are sometimes difficult to quantify.

I'm having trouble understanding what you are even getting at with comparisons to astronomy, where the absence of controlled experiments isn't some grand innovation astronomers cooked up but a basic constraint imposed by studying stuff that is light years away. Any decent epistemologist would tell you that the character of knowledge generated by astronomical observations is of a lower quality than that of a RCT. I'm sure some astronomers or cosmologists would give their left arm to do a randomized controlled trial!
It's the only solution to augment renewables until there is better storage technology.
>I'm still confident that investing in securing unauthorized user access is still orders of magnitude more useful than putting time and effort into this vector.

These are addressing two different scenarios, so they should be mitigated separately. In one case, you are mitigating against unauthorized access. In the other, you are mitigating the damage that can be done when someone has already gained unauthorized access (however that occurred). After all, the only system immune to unauthorized access is the one that doesn't get powered.

"Defense in-depth" is thrown around a lot, but it really is important. I do agree though, when it comes to priority of implementation, I would start with protecting against unauthorized access first.
No. It's fast, but not immediate. It's annoying but not unusable.

Worse though, it starts dropping repeated clicks. Triple click increments counter by 2. Unfortunately, this is unusable.

Well put. And I agree. I draw similarities between RPi and OtherOS on the PS3. Sony permitted Linux on their consoles and in exchange the hardware was locked. PS3 was not hacked until they removed the OtherOS feature and was the last console of that generation to be hacked. RPi is not Sony and would (probably, hopefully) not start limiting user OS choice, but the moment that happens, it will be completely and thoroughly hacked as there would be an incentive to do so.
I don’t care whether you call it the “opposite of progress” or “less

Better UX apps may not be examples of bleeding edge innovation, but it is a better day to day experience. Maybe capitalism taken to the extreme is a mistake for human well being, I don’t know. I just enjoy life more here.

> Why does this tool in the language need to exist? The answer cannot be because Kanji make things easier to read, else you wouldn't need tools to help you read Kanji

This just isn't true. Even most native JP speakers agree that kanji are oppressively hard to learn and remember, so if it were feasible to get by with kana alone, then at least some native speakers would do it in some contexts. But outside of language learning it's virtually never done, and there's a reason for that.

Also, I think you're overlooking that Chinese and Korean have a lot more vowels/tones to work with than Japanese. There are a lot of Chinese-derived compound words that are homophones in Japanese but not elsewhere.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a stationwagon loaded with tapes.

Arguably, your position is bogus. Why cause a bunch of extra copying around to move a server. "Back up" indeed - to what? Another disk? It's turtles all the way down.
Which is why the problem arose: Far too many people believe anecdotes like yours, without understanding the difference between a barrier and common sense. (A four-step process to triage a bug only serves to protect fiefdoms.)

We ultimately had the leads (managers and most experienced team members) triage in a small group 4x a week. It kept the BS (and barriers) to a minimum, and standards high.

In your case, we generally didn't "close bugs in isolation" like you encountered. That being said, we did have a few "security" bugs raised by people who didn't understand the use case or deliberate tradeoffs. These were closed with a careful explanation of the tradeoffs or misunderstanding.

In your case, I would have re-submitted the bug, and/or reopened it.

The DS's firmware could also be written to by bridging SL1, a point on the board accessible by removing the battery cover. This was used before flashcarts were popular to write FlashMe. It was an alternate firmware that allowed for booting files from a slot-2 device such as a GBAMP.

Happy to clarify.

a) Theory: In any engineering or optimisation problem, adding a constraint makes the solution not better, and, if the constraint is binding, worse. So, we would not expect distributed state machine replication (which was solved in the late 90s, with BFT-style consensus such as Paxos and Raft etc.) to get better by requiring permissionlessness. (And the latter is, in my view, the actual defining characteristic of what's now known as blockchain; though of course you have a couple of permissioned blockchains that are basically rebranding of existing technology to ride the hype-train.)

b) Practice: You could trivially run a BTC (ie, Longest Chain Rule) or ETH (ie, BFT-type) style network with extremely high reliability with some, say, 10 nodes that are permissioned and (at least 51%) trusted. That would use around 10-100 W (and you could probably achieve far higher throughput). Instead, BTC uses 20 GW, ETH around 1 MW. So, the requirement of permissionlessness increases energy usage by a factor of several thousand to billions.

Furthermore, you lose many many other features of centralised systems (such as that you can correct mistakes cheaply, replace lost keys, undo fraud, etc.)

So, basically, you employ a vastly inferior technology, just so you can circumvent the law. Really don't see why anyone should support that.
But the SRE/Devops team would certainly have access to the decryption key. Seems a little bit weird to encrypt to just stop another team from doing their job. Wether data should be handed over to the govt or not should probably be a company decision and not the dev teams anyway.
That's not the kind of vulnerability that would have installed an exploit on their CPE.

There is no particular linkage between health insurance and profits. Small businesses such as early-stage startups tend to have worse and more expensive employee health plans because they lack the scale to go self-insured or to negotiate lower premiums with payers for fully-insured plans. Profitable small businesses face the same problem.
And yet, I only ever hear rants about the unemployed being parasites, but never the same about corporations despite them getting way more tax dollars when you add up subventions, grants, tax cuts and indirect support like described above and letting others pay for the damage they do to the environment.
As always, the answer is “it depends”. If you are getting too many cache misses, and are memory bound, adding more threads will not help you much. If you have idling processor backends, with FP integer or memory units sitting there doing nothing, adding more threads might extract more performance from the part.
Modern astronomy, for example, can pretty much as well challenge the standard of randomized controlled trials: no one uses experimental planets and galaxies to test their null hypotheses.

Modern astronomy and astrophysics is just about the most rigorous experimental science outside of particle physics. Models are developed against simulations and past observations. Then new observations are proposed, selected, scheduled, and performed. The null hypothesis is almost always based on the standard models and can only be overturned by new models using new data.

A future observation of some phenomenon "out there" is, in principle, no different from a future observation of some phenomenon in the lab. We don't call them "experiments" but they are every bit as difficult to falsify. Perhaps even moreso, since those who collect the data are generally not the same people as those who design and test the models. Since data is eventually released publicly, anyone is free to re-run the simulations and re-test the models against the same data, as well as propose future planned observations to test any weaknesses in the models.
TLDR - floating point format has a great deal of precision near 0. Normally depth maps range from -1 to 1, but if you change that to 0 to 1 (and flip it) you can utilize this extra precision.
I didn’t mean to imply that it needed to be useful. I just hear about the hypothesis a lot and I wonder what the immediate knock-on effects would be. Does it unlock other theoretical work, are there other proofs that work or don’t work depending on it, etc. And if it has an effect on something real or tangible that’s even better.

Remember core to core coordination takes longer than between threads of the same core.
Expecting "better" from JWST compared to the image from TFA or even Hubble is definitely a misunderstanding of the differences between observation platforms. Just because the JWST mirror is larger than the Hubble's does not mean it will produce a "better" image as they are looking at different frequencies of light. Thinking that JWST will produce the same type of image with more detail/resolution is an incorrect way of thinking of the JWST's purpose.
