> To be able to maintain something you need to be able to transfer the ownership of the piece of code to someone else. You need to be able to amend the code easily to extend or to remove functionality. It means that the code can be easily split into pieces that can be given to multiple developers to work simultaneously towards a common goal.

> Haskell scores poorly on any of those points

Interesting. I work at a company with over a hundred people committing to a Haskell code-base that runs our entire back-end. As far as I can tell we're continuously shipping code several times a day, every day, with very low impact on our service level indicators.

When we do have production issues they're rarely attributed to Haskell. I can think of one incident in 3 years where a space leak was caught in production. It was straight forward to address and fix before it impacted customers.

In practice, Haskell has been amazing to work with. I just rewrote over a thousand lines of code and shipped that to production without incident. I've never had that go off easily in any other language I've worked with (and I've been around for over twenty years and worked in everything from C, C++, Python, and JS).
I've lived in a few of these, and the "cheap" part is really the biggest concern. Besides the fact that they all share in their corrugated-metal hideousness, they're a symptom of developers pushing the boundaries of building code to save a few bucks.

Without doxxing myself, I'll say that I was among the first group of residents of a 5-over-1 that made local news for the safety problems associated with its cheap construction. Non-functional smoke detectors, incorrectly installed fire walls, flood markings in the concrete basement, paint smears on the cabinets, doors with massive and varying gaps underneath, the whole 9 yards. In a brand new building. Truly a remarkable exercise in corner-cutting.
Empirically this doesn't seem to happen.

> I am assuming (hope I am right!) that the RISC-V board doesn't have the equivalent of the IME on it

Actually, it does! Check the block diagram on the first PDF linked to by this article, it has two RISC-V "monitor cores", a 32-bit one and a 64-bit one, besides the four 64-bit main cores.

> and thus will be open-source "librebootable" from the start, with no binary blobs.

There's always going to be a small bootstrap ROM, to configure everything to the point where code can be loaded from the external flash; but other than that, I agree with you: I also hope that the bootstrap code, and the code which runs on these "monitor cores", will be open-source from the start.

> what we call a particle is usually a momentum eigenstate

Not really. In non-relativistic QM, it's a wave packet. True momentum eigenstates are not physically realizable.

In quantum field theory, "particle" is just a shorthand name for certain quantum field states. Quantum fields aren't waves or particles, they're quantum fields.
Anonymity for reasons.

I did this just a few months ago. Worked in the Blockchain industry, earned around 240k in my local currency, which is a lot for what I did. The company got bought, would have gotten an additional 300k (more or less) after 2 years in bonus.

Instead, I joined a company more aligned with what I want to do and become, and the people I want to surround myself with. I now get paid just 140k in my local currency, so I take around 100k a year pay cut.

My wife will start working soon, so we will top up our household income again.

But, I realized, I don't have money problems. My needs are met, and what makes a difference now is my emotional and physical health, and my friends and people I see every day. Filling up my account doesn't help anymore, and the opposite, it made me more stressed every day.
That's right, illustrating my point that accidents creating debris are common and not realistically completely avoidable. Which is why we need to avoid putting satellites in orbits where any created debris will inevitably pollute space for millennia.

This is awesome. A great interactive piece that is simple and fun. Love the idea of the random ball spawning.

I seem to have triggered "infinite sample playback" when I stuck the ball in a corner and the audio crashed. One experience I've had with this kind of large sample playback (in SuperCollider) is that by dynamically reducing the volume, it creates an interesting textured sound [1].

Of course for every project using Tone.js I would like to mention one of my project glicol.js which is in active development [2]. It has better performance but needs more use case to find what's needed in the API.

There's much nicer ways to say this that is congruent with community standards[0]. If you believe I have misunderstood then try pointing out specifically what I have misunderstood instead of just making an assertion.

But the question was if anyone was aware of any client side scanning technology that could in fact check for stuff such as CSAM. In fact, the Apple system was developed explicitly for this purpose, so yes, this does exist. While Replay doesn't have this explicitly feature stated (that I'm aware of), it is not a big step to think that you can just smash the two things together. As Apple shows a system detecting based on images and Replay is taking images of one's computer.

it is mostly fire code and other such things.

five stories is about the maximum amount of traditional (not-CLT) wood construction tolerated by fire code. also, six and above stories is where you start needing more elevators as a practical matter, which cuts the amount of leasable space on lower floors.

if you look at skyscraper designs one of the most complicated things is elevator layout design, because you need enough capacity so that people don't wait unreasonably long for elevators, but you also don't want to waste so much space on elevator shafts.
There's a lot of use cases, and companies already using photogrammetry techniques have adopted it extremely quickly, but for many of these businesses the usage of gaussian splats is just a technical implementation detail, resulting in quality / feature gains, but doesn't as of now unlock entirely new business models.

I think a significant aspect of this specific problem is that a notion of a "field" is very difficult to translate to everyday language no matter how easy it is for a physicist to conceptualize and model with math. Similar to coming up with a good analogy for a hash function in computer science world. These are largely very foreign concepts for everyday human life experiencers.
No URL, but if demand were there to take all that in, the demand would obviously go up. But there is not enough demand, so the capacity is far from infinite.
The best fix for negative prices is negative prices, the demand will come.

We need to define "politicians" first. I can see your point if "politician career" means "being repeatedly elected" (even though other people pointed out what are the problems in this case). But the EU Commission isn't elected. These people are appointed by some fucked up complicated process. They definitely seem to have pretty good careers, but what are these careers — I wish I knew.

I used to work for a SV company you've heard of. They treated me very nicely (and I them too I hope!) but it was too big an organisation which brought all the usual problems.

Now I work part time for a small local Eastern European company started by my high school friends. We're around ten, I learn a lot, and I have potential for a lot of impact.

My real hourly take-home pay is 20% of what I used to make and I work less than half the hours, so I make less than 10% of what I used to make. And I'm happy with this trade-off! I get to work with very smart people on things that matter in a relaxed environment. Couldn't be happier!
this is a problem in every era of construction, though. developers have not really changed their mindset or their ability to cut corners, they just change the flavor of building they like.

Storage prices have been dropping precipitously for the past decade. Even more exciting is that the excitement over electric vehicles that has constrained battery supply for the past 2-3 years has started to slacken allowing battery prices to start falling again as EV manufacturers cut back on production. I'm excited to see what the next couple of years brings in the realm of grid and home storage.

This is not the claim being made by the parent I responded to. Right out of the gate, OP said:

I.e. OP is specifically making a general claim about this product category, based on the usage habits of friends who are all - I would wager - using hokey Oculus/Vive-type hardware, and not Vision Pro.

It's the same rhetoric people were probably saying on alt.hackers in 1995 about paper film vs. digital cameras, and it's specious reasoning.

That statement is wrong. Papers do get retracted because a major innocent error is found. This often happens at the request of the author (typically with an explanation from the authors). . See the comment a bit further up for an example.

> It's part of a strategy to attract top talent in the field. If you want top researchers you have to let them publish, which in turn hones a reputation of solid research, attracting more talent.

This. Although, it turns out, if you pay them well enough (like OpenAI), they'll forego publishing. If you can make enough to retire by 40, why work at places that pay less?

ofc, not all researchers think that way, and there are those who are in it for the science, not just money.

Having been in academia, having felt the pressure, knowing reproduction is not sexy and takes time away from "actual experiments", knowing some theories or groups have cult-like status, knowing that not having papers means not getting a PhD, despite working hard, being smart, knowing that this is (experienced as) very unfair, etc... I'm very sure that 4 in 10.000 is the tip of the iceberg.

We need more reproduction. Or have some rule: Check all assumptions. Yes, it's a lot of work, but man will it save a lot of fake stuff from getting out there and causing a lot of useless work.

Worked at Facebook from 2016 - 2020. I couldn't handle how flippant the leadership was about profiting off of genocides, Trump, and the degradation of everyone's mental health.

Now I work for my county government as a computer programmer. I make 20% of what I would've been making at Facebook if I hadn't left (60k vs 300k) but I don't regret it at all. My work helps real people in my community instead of siphoning off bits of attention here and there from strangers all over the world.

This challenge looks quite solvable but it's relies on physics understanding and it's has a lot of human/world priors in sense of space understanding and object boundaries.

Seems like it relies on identification of objects and then mapping them somehow. Most of the cases so far that I've seen are based on some transformation or relation between the objects.

So far it seems like some search among common transformatiosn and relations could solve it. Plus some heuristics/computation for counting order, wholeness(boundary) or pattern.

IMO it can be solved by search of programs that combine these + some LLM to guide heuristics most likely.

The only hard one was applied noise or one testing understanding of "gravity".

Did anyone test human baseline for this?

In practice, wrong findings that aren't due to misconduct and aren't very recent are usually not retracted though. It's just considered part of the history of science that some old papers have proofs or results now known to be false. It is pretty common in mathematics, for example, for people to discover (and publish) errors they found in old proofs, without the journal going back and retracting the old proof. A famous example is Hilbert's (incorrect) sketch of a proof for the continuum hypothesis [1].

I was an internal Tech Recruiter for almost 10 years focused on pre-IPO tech companies. Hit the lotto a couple of times but after the most recent company (which was an awesome place to work) IPO'd, COVID, and just general career trends in that role, I burned out.

Then I spent 6 months doing nothing and decided to learn to code. It currently pays nothing because after a year, I'm only just on the cusp of starting to apply. I enjoy coding a lot more than recruiting, but my educated guess is that I'd enjoy entrepreneurship more than working at a company. Either way, it's exciting and challenging in a way that recruiting never was.
I'm not sure anyone is really surprised by this. Apple for example likewise calls out that you are at risk of an attacker using timing attacks to construct an authentication oracle for PAC, which is much more explicit about when exactly authentication checks actually happen.

I have 15 YOE and today I make what I did when I was in Year 2. I have the same employer as Year 2, but I relocated from US, PNW to Canada, Ontario. This resulted in a drastic reduction in pay. After taxes, I make 42% less than what I made before. I make a little more than what I earned as a fresh-out-of-college new hire.

While I'm annoyed about the money, I have an improved quality of life in Toronto. My wife and I were raising kids alone in Seattle whereas we have a village here to co-parent with. I also found much more cultural identity and roots here in Toronto compared to Seattle. I also prefer the climate and politics of Toronto more than PNW. I certainly miss the hikes, but we make that up with non-stop beach trips.

If I can achieve the same financial security here in Toronto that I had in Seattle, I would never move. Unfortunately, this has been difficult to achieve, but I'm confident I can get there.
