"Fundamentally, the problem with this is that it's actively encouraging guesses to override the communication of ethically required citation information."

This is silly. 99% of the time, if you cite Autor et al. (2013), it'll be that Autor et al. (2013). The other 1%, it'll be another David Autor paper. The case when you guess something wrong, and really it's a different author, who then gets hurt, probably happens once a year. Meanwhile, Autor et al. (2013) immediately lets me understand what you're referencing, which [57] does not.

That was an interesting read.

I also particularly commend you for sharing a real project, with its limitations, lessons learned and ultimate failure—it feels refreshing to read something where the final step wasn't some revolutionary panacea
Maybe, but they also say Starship would be the best option. There is no way Nova or any other rocket could compete here. Nova would only be good relative to Starship for launching individual smaller payloads into specific orbits, so not for satellite constellations.
Same with many types of wild caught fish. Parasites are almost always presents and will sometimes kill the fish due to starvation within months.

This is one of the reasons I left academia. I never wanted to lay down when one of the demi gods profs was having a toddler fit.

An example was when I was a phd student and He came to us to discuss what we were doing. I told him that I was doing simulations and neutral networks in physics (mid 90s'). He laughed and said that this is for the weaker/dumber ones, the ones who can't do theory. To which I said that indeed, this requires to be actually intelligent, not just pretend like the ones who do <his topic>. I looked him in the eyes with a "wanna go that road, pal?" kind of eyes.

Long story short, my phd defense was done when he was on vacation :)
For very simple pressure fed engines (which this appears to be) it's actually cheapest to additively manufacture (3D print) engines as you can integrate the cooling channels. On engines like Raptor you have pumps, which notably need to move so while you still use 3D printing (Raptor uses a ton) you can't print it in a single piece.

3D printing is already an industry standard and nothing this company did with relation to its engine manufacturing is anything special. They also appear to have lied that no post-manufacturing qualification is required.

> With food, the rule of thumb is to eat like your ancestors ate. Avoid ultra-processed foods, and avoid (or dramatically cut down on) the big 3: corn, soy, and wheat. These crops are in everything and are often the most processed, most pesticide-laden, and most fertilizer-intensive crops in our entire agricultural system.

Or you could buy (or grow, if you're hardcore enough) organic wheat, corn, and soy in their unprocessed forms and learn to cook. You know, like your ancestors did for thousands of years.

The problem is pesticides. Gluten intolerance only became a thing after they started dousing crops in round-up prior to harvest ("crop dessication").
Correct. That's the same way I read that comment.

More fundamentally, chemical catalysts by definition are not consumed by the reactions they catalyze.

Think: a cheese grater. It doesn't react with the cheese, so a few ounces of grater could make hundreds of pounds of grilled cheese.

A hypothetical 300 tons of catalyst is not limited stoichiometrically to how much substrate it would affect.
Not really, they are inefficient, but work so much more than just about any nation. They aren't quiet quitting, they are just doing what they've always done: being unproductive because their work culture demands they stay until the boss leaves and then they have to go drinking. That system fucking sucks.

Ass in seat doesn't make productivity. Give the bulk of workers work from home for a year and watch their efficiency soar.
Not unique to MSFT. I’m a security engineer.

If you want sanity paired with outcomes in the career, work at places that are technical and have a strong regulatory incentive and related funding, or a strong threat model closely tied to profits to care about security culturally.

Main examples for me that hit that are:

- pre-IPO startups that want to pass SOC2 etc to go public: have the reg and profit incentive and pay to buy a security team from scratch

- crypto: has the threat model and profit incentive due to key theft and so on. Pays well too and great risk space to test out sec skills

- public tech cos providing a lot of critical infra: to an extent, some can veer into Too Big to Fail like MSFT, some have stronger internal sec teams like Google/Project Zero, Verizon/Paranoids, Cloudflare seems good.

- Banking is maybe: they have funds, more risk-averse culture, heavily regulated. But healthcare is also heavily regulated and id never work in it due to the volume of exploits and lack of care.

So ya, don’t work at MSFT as a sec eng IMO unless you’re on the DART team and want to see a lot of diverse incident response with legit threat actors, or want to do really low level OS sec.

No idea about Apple sec eng work, on this note.

This is also why the avg tenure in security careers +/- 10 years. Your sanity runs out and often pay is good enough where you can save up and do something else with your life by 30/40.
Lack of communication breeds lack of concern, in my opinion. I don't think some folk understand how high your communication bandwidth needs to be to go fully remote.

what fraction of Africans have a smartphone?

why, for those with a smartphone, wouldn't they just log into citibank.com or whatever, instead of a bitcoin blockchain app?

There's nothing inexpensive about bitcoin, in the big picture. you seem to only be hoping that the organizations running the electricity into servers are providing free or super cheap banking to users, i.e., they're eating the massive expense of bitcoin over, say, hosting MySQL on trhifty digital ocean or azure or aws. is that correct understanding of what you mean?

How is bitcoin a hard asset?

> many Africans are already investing in Bitcoin.

do you have a citation for that assertion? i have not found one.
I was out of school for quite a bit by the time the PS3 came out but I remember installing linux on mine and being pretty excited to program on it.

I did a little bit, but it ended up being a super PITA because I didn't want to put my PS3 on my desk and give up playing games on it on my TV.

Because I wanted to keep it with my TV I had tried to use it with Bluetooth KB/Mouse so I could use it from the couch.

And well typical Linux you always end up spending time on the most mundane thing. Bluetooth on the PS3 in Linux at that time didn't seem to work right.

That to me is like peak Linux right there. At some point I had said to myself "I wanted to play with the cell and instead I'm working on Bluetooth" and I lost interest cause of course I had real work too. Then eventually Sony disabled the whole thing.
I'm deeply confused by this?
> every group chat has a n-1 group containing everyone except that annoying member. And if you think your chat doesn’t have such a group, oh boy, do I have some bad news for you.

There are more like 2^n - 1 subgroups, i.e. as many subgroups as the there can be. If you think you're safe because you're already part of one subgroup that complain about the people not included in this particular subgroup, I also have some bad news for you.
(I was thinking about this, and maybe it's intentional. Make Chrome a first class citizen on formerly-ChromeOS. Make ChromeOS a generic base for AVF VMs. Maybe they even have cros working so well that they can do crostini inside an AVF VM?

So it would be Android, Chrome-on-ChromeOS in an AVF VM, Linux-on-ChromeOS in another AVF VM, Windows in a third AVF VM, etc.

Price transparency and how to fix patient eligibility/registration in healthcare
Personally I love "Exhalation" a lot more
>And how do you avoid other people's phones/cameras seeing you?

You are missing the point.

some phones have a popup front camera. The camera is inside the phone. It is obscured and it would be alarming if it pop up on its own accord.

Put together a deep dive into healthcare price transparency, the patient registration and eligibility process, how it's broken, and how it leads to providers not getting fairly compensated, and drives higher costs for all healthcare.

Covers:
- how our current tools fail providers and patients
- how payors benefit from the status quo and have no incentive to fix it systemically
- how providers can provide price transparency to patients (mostly in outpatient settings)
- other things providers can do to improve their processes & technology

If you're trying to improve your patient registration process, provide price transparency to patients, or building patient collections infrastructure, this is for you. Feedback is super welcome
I'm from Africa, and left a long time ago.

If you look at Western Europe + the "Anglosphere" ex-colonies, there's a long history of how laws and attitudes evolved in such a way as to virtually guarantee rule of law, individual rights, democracy, property rights, and people doing their jobs with genuine effort and in good faith.

For whatever reason, it's been incredibly deeply ingrained into people here in the West - over millennia - to expect these things from and for themselves.

But in Africa, I don't know why, you just don't have all these ingredients. And so you can give it every resource and all the infrastructure and investment, but I don't think you can easily send the true source of wealth from one society to another one.

It's at least 1000x times easier to do business in North America than in Africa. Instead of getting stymied at every turn by some new idiotic stumbling block, the whole system here pulls in the right direction.

There are lots of metrics that are improving incredibly well for Africa, and maybe this is the start of an upward spiral. I certainly hope so - that continent badly needs a couple of centuries of extreme prosperity growth.
It will still be theater. Security outcomes will be gamed.
> Internal combustion engine vehicles themselves turn 100% of the energy from gasoline into heat, localized to the roads they are driving on.

Let's consider a thought experiment.

We have an ICE car at the bottom of a hill. The car has a trailer attached and there is a weight on the trailer. The mass of the trailer and the weight combined is 500 kg.

The car is started, drives to the top of the hill which is an elevation gain of 100 m, drops off the trailer and weight, and drives back down to the bottom of the hill and is shut off.

The trailer and weight has gained 9.8 m/s^2 x 500 kg x 100 m = 490 000 J of gravitational potential energy, which is not heat.

If all of the energy from the car's gasoline became heat where did that 490 000 J of non-heat energy that the car gave the trailer and weight come from?
In many African countries there were trains and railways. After colonizers left, railway gradually fell into disrepair and cease to be used. So I don't think that roads are the answer.
I recently heard from someone at stripe that their whole internal comms is dead. People are extremely unhappy and disengaged. Something surely is going on.
It's mentioned in the article, but the reaction to the sanctions seem fairly severe?

I've never seen d*mned bleeped out like fuck is usually.
I have learned to avoid group chats. I don't mind actual in person groups, but either group chats I've been in have a serious veneer of in-authenticity or just sheer group think. I know this isolates me from a lot of people especially today who prefer meeting on discord but that's okay, it isn't for me.

Chat works for a lot of things but I've never found it to be that great for socialising. Again, I suppose this is atypical now, but I always prefer in person meetings or phone calls and probably always will.

Voice chat is probably better but since that usually precludes being part of a text chat in the first place, I haven't had a chance to try.
> can of course install Arch or Gentoo or NixOS Minimal and then audit the packages that they're installing to see that there's no obvious security violations, but it's unrealistic to think that most non-software-engineer people are going to do that.

It's a fantasy to think that random devs can audit kernel/security code. No single person can. Too many lines of code to audit (that you didn't write yourself). Even if you hired a team, by the time the team does the audit, the goalposts have moved with new source code.

I don't buy the argument - when I pick the wrong "Wilson" in "Wilson (2002)" then by the time I read the bibliography, I can see that I make a mistake.
Has that ever happened? Not that I know, but I saw something else, without stepping in the trap, namely that the _same_ Wilson wrote more than one paper in 2002, and they cited the _other_ paper, not the one I first thought. Again, the reason I found out is that I read the references, otherwise I could not relate this incident.

It's important to scan the references to check oneself if one agrees with the selection of references, or if the author(s) omitted important work that one knows and the authors did not know or did not want to cite due to a hidden agenda (selection bias), in which case one may email them to share additional references so that they cannot say "we never knew".

I could accept numeric citekeys if and only if the HTML rendering shows me the
full entry when hovering over it with the mouse cursor (as a "tool tip"); there is absolutely no need in the 21st century to manually scroll/jump to the end without coming back when you can shop the reference inline. Hypertext is there for you to make use of it (Berners-Lee [1], 2000)!

Very interesting. It sounds like the tool is broadly powerful in combining a threat intel dashboard + news digest processor + AI features to better customize the output of the first two. The details of the API output will be important to many of your customers, as will the richness of the sources covered (forums and Telegram channels often die out and the "buzz" starts to happen in a different place, etc). Like some other commenters said, this is a fairly vendor-saturated space, so as a buyer I'd be looking for sharply presented distinction factors, beginning with price rather than AI (which is still a good thing to have).

I have a lot of experience with this kind of tool and workflow from at least three perspectives: internal builds; vendor; and consumer of vendor products such as this one. Happy to talk more if you're interested

I'm not even sure how that's really realistic in the US at least.

I think a lot of people with full-time desk jobs have a 401k or a Roth IRA, and most of those are stock-based (which is really the only way to make sure your money doesn't decay in value due to inflation), and those are generally going to be stuff like total-indexes or S&P500-based index funds.

There's probably technically something else you could peg it to, so that's probably not strictly true, but I think an awful lot of people are sort of buying Apple stock without fully realizing it.
The internet seems to largely followed other media. Newspaper, radio, and TV all have ads. Some things like newspapers and cable also require payment.

> If I were in charge, the first thing I would do would be to close most foreign military bases. We can have the strongest military in the world and have them largely based in the US.

The strategy behind the foreign military bases isn't just about having the strongest military in the world. They serve two purposes:

First, we want to preserve the credible threat of boots on the ground anywhere in the world within just a few hours of a conflict beginning. Think edge computing, but for military operations.

Second, we want to reassure our allies that they have more than just our word for it that we'll come to their aid in a crisis. Having US soldiers in your country 24/7 functions as a guarantee that if the country falls to an invader the US will have to respond, because our soldiers were captured or killed.

The concern is that without the bases, a hostile power (like, say, the one TFA is about) could invade an ally (like, say, the Baltic states) with overwhelming force and present NATO with a fait accompli before we have time to react. Pulling away from those bases would be correctly seen by many of our allied states as relaxing our commitment to them.

Not a rumour, it's happening in plain sight. Why would Trudeau call that Toronto byelection end of June? He had plenty of time. He called it in June because the latest he could step down was July in order to have time for a leadership race before the next election. The reason the byelection will precipitate his resignation is it will be a bellweather performance in a traditional liberal stronghold, which will almost certainly show vast liberal underperformance leading to Trudeau's resignation. Among the factors are Trudeau's plummeting approval rates that are stuck very low, Liberal polling currently near 20%, far below the conservatives, also this riding is the 5th most populous riding for Jewish votes in Canada, who from what I understand are none too happy with Trudeau's stance on what's happening in Gaza. So it's less a rumour than a foregone conclusion, in my opinion.
