> academia is mostly about shitting out as many papers as you can

This is the classic case of publish-or-perish, since publication metrics are ubiquitous in all aspects of academic life unfortunately. Measuring true impact is the goal, but it is hard problem to solve for.

> and make them as verbose as possible

This is just laughably wrong. The page-limits are always too low to fit all the information one wants to include, so padding a text is just not of interest at all.

With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if people use ChatGPT a lot. If for no other reason most academics are writing in a language (English) that is not their native language and that is hard to do. Anything that makes the process of communicating ones results easier and more efficient is a good thing. Of course, it can also be used to create incomprehensible word salads, but I've seen a lot of those in the pre-LLM times as well.

you've got a good point about experts being critical with no accountability.

However, when studying a complex, multivariate problem, if you find one or two variables that can easily affect the outcome (lower hood heights), it does seem sensible to optimize it, while obviously keeping in mind that you can optimize for other things.
"Why trust the emulator?" sounds a lot like asking "why trust the compiler?". It's going to be much more widely-used and broadly-tested than your own code, and probably more thoroughly optimized.
To peoples asking: "Why not just QR codes?" Again it's all about latency. QR codes take longer when you tap them at the gate: opening the app, waiting for the scanner to adjust, connecting to inet. While NFC handle these tasks almost instantly. A big difference in super busy places where queues are a nightmare.

Again, this problem wouldn't exist if we can optimize WFH methods. We don't need to solving "physical problems" from start to finish. Making, distributing, and recycling all those ticket papers.

No matter how advanced your transportation tech is, moving people long distances is still really costly. Sorry to "steer" this conversation into WFH and WFO topics.
Not gonna argue. I know that, for many folks, these days, anything that imposes guardrails and boundaries, is considered “bureaucracy.”

It’s funny, but there’s a heck of a lot of structure, in today’s software industry. It’s just not called “process,” or “formal methods.” It’s just “this is how everyone does it.”

For me the main focus is what is the weather today and tomorrow so I can plan outdoor projects. Predictions after a day or so are much more general and not possible to track hourly.

However I do need the NOAA forecast for those days in the form of their textual forecast to know what their general prediction is. This way I can look 3-4 days ahead and plan, and then a day before or during that I can move times around the weather.

Basically a "if you work outdoors here's what you need to know" kind of weather app.
If you develop software then you’ll have an understanding of the issues you face the moment it leaves your hands.

General purpose Operating Systems are incredibly complex systems that have to cater for an almost limitless number of edge cases and you’ll never be able to know what those edge cases are.

I myself spent a year dealing with an agonizing bug on my work MacBook that required it to be rebooted almost daily because it would suddenly freeze on me.

Hey, it's me! Except I'm a guy.

Yeah it's nuts. I have an insanely good sense of direction, and an innate intuition for maps and orienteering. I studied physics in collage in part because of the visual (read: spatial / geometric) arguments for physical law just made so much sense to me. Einstein's gedankenexperiment resonated with me.

At the same time I took a drawing class in college, and the professor told us to "imagine the scene, then look at the canvas and draw what you see."

I would disagree with this. The prefix notation isn’t hard to understand, but even if I am familiar with how it works, it still requires the reader to do conversion, whereas when I write “a + b” in most other languages, it is quite clear to anyone what it means without mental conversion.

Mmm.... No.

That's absolutely how it works in engineering. You build fail-safe systems when you can, if safe-life systems where you must.

There is no redundancy in the structural integrity of an aircraft wing. Once it falls off, everybody dies.

Similarly, there are little redundancy margins in a spacecraft propulsion system. You will plan for a thruster malfunction, but if you loose your entire control system in flight, or if you develop 5 different leaks in flight, than it's safe to say you have a failing system. At no point in the design phase were any of those failure modes deemed "acceptable".
In many cases just using a hash table and sorting the keys is faster than using a B-tree anyway. I tried switching from a separate sort to a hash table in the Bevy game engine for binning of transparent objects recently and it was a big regression.

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing. If you know why your software is correct, you can write that down as a proof (if you have a language which allows you to do that). If you don't know why your software is correct, well, maybe you should not ship it, because maybe it isn't correct.

So yes, it is all about push button technology here. If you are willing to put in the work to write down the proof yourself, instead of expecting a magical entity to generate it for you, then it is possible. All the halting problem says is that there is no such magical entity. You will need to know why your software is correct.
When I 'visualize' it's not an image at all. It's the concept of what the image would be showing, which the above posters have called a graph or schematic. But that's an analogy, and not to be taken too literally. I don't visualize a schematic. I instead feel the connections and relationships between concepts. It's entirely non-visual.

That's premeditated. That's murder.
Stripe's document DBs supported 99.999% uptime, zero-downtime data migrations
I can understand why that objection would be raised, because lexical binding is slower in code that is interpreted rather than compiled, compared to (shallow) dynamic binding. Under shallow dynamic binding, there isn't a chained dynamic environment structure. Variables are simply global: every variable is just the value cell of the symbol that names it. The value cell can be integrated directly into the representation of a symbol, and so accessing a variable under interpretation very fast, compared to accessing a lexical variable, which must be looked up in an environment structure.

In other words, you really shouldn't rebase stuff that has been exposed
anywhere outside of your own private tree. But within your own private
tree, and within the commits that have never seen the light of day,
rebasing is fine.

(And yes, there are exceptions. If it's a clear "throw-away tree" all the
rules go out the window, of course, as long as everybody involved knows
it's a throw-away tree, and know that if they pull it they have to
synchronise 100% with you - so within a very tight-knit case or within a
very specific small detail that is actively being worked on, those rebases
with cleanups make tons of sense).

You're still describing it as an image. I think it would be more accurate to say that you feel the connections between the represented concepts as might be illustrated on a blueprint. But it's a non-visual experience.

My Memories Are Just Meta's Training Data Now
There is a disappointing amount of character slander rather than refutation of the author's claims happening on this thread. The foremost trustworthy party is the EPA.

Note, I am not a lawyer or anyone who could professionally give an opinion on this.*

The most egregious violation the author purports Apple did is the illegal venting of hazardous chemicals.

IMHO, the most plausible evidence supporting the author's claim can be found in the (redacted) EPA report in observation #11.[1]

My understanding is that waste streams (hazardous materials being vented into the environment) must be accounted for in order to accurately calculate how often you must change carbon filters (called breakthrough time in the report) and that carbon filters lose efficacy as hazardous gasses are passed through it.

Anyways, the report found that Apple did not account for all the waste they were putting through the filters and thus could not accurately assess the "breakthrough time" of the filters. There is a plausible case that could be made that a filter had reached its "breakthrough time" -- potentially leaking hazardous gases into the environment. This reportedly has been occurring since atleast* Dec 2020, which could be around the time the author moved in which was also 2020 (unspecified range).

In my country we used to have a heavily standardized type of money transfer card. It'd be used both for regular wire transfers in a "fixed payer, flexible payee" form where you'd get a booklet of them to fill out later, and "flexible payer, fixed payee" form you'd get mailed to your house to pay your bills, only having to write your account number on them, sign it, and mail it to your bank.

They were designed to be machine-readable from the start for easy processing at the bank, and one of the ways they did this was by having all the fixed data encoded in a special font. When we started using smartphone banking apps, you'd just be able to scan a bill with your phone and it'd immediately read out all the data, fill in the missing stuff, and you'd only have to tap "confirm" to do the actual payment.

Slightly tongue in cheek answer: it is easy to write this kind of code in C++ without having C involved, hence style guides will usually have a prominent guideline specifically against this type of code[1].

In Rust, I think you only really run into this issue when interacting with C (or otherwise engaging in unsafe code), so for normal Rust coding it doesn't need to be spelled out as a guideline. And the Rustonomicon[2], the go-to resource for unsafe Rust, isn't really written as a set of guidelines. At least from a brief search, I found it harder to find a Rust page that specifically says "don't do this".

> Current stock owners will loose half their value (which is a good enough punishment for this lack of oversight)

I'm not opposed to this. But I think our corporations should be regulated by the government, not by shareholder oversight.

After all, shareholders are essentially powerless in the current system. Each individual shareholder's power is far too dilute, many people owning shares through pension funds don't even know they're shareholders, the minority shareholders have no way to contact each other to coordinate, and it's completely normal for the likes of Apple to spend billions on secret projects and the shareholders to only find out after the fact.

Hell, Google even has three classes of shares - one with no voting rights, one with 1x voting rights, and a special class with 10x voting rights for Larry and Sergei ensuring they have a majority of the votes even without majority ownership.

If we think shareholders are supposed to be providing oversight to companies, they need vastly more power to do so.

Mitochondria are involved in aerobic energy production in the cell, using O2 (oxygen) and some energy substrate to produce ATP (adenosyne tri-phosphate), the "energy currency of the cell".

"eat less sugar" means less anaerobic energy production, I guess. Thus more aerobic energy production in exchange.
