In biomedical research or tangential fields, author order generally follows these guidelines:

First author(s): the individual(s) who organized and conducted the study. Typically there is only a single first author, but nowadays there are often two first authors. This is because the amount of research required to generate “high impact” publications simply can’t be done by a single person. Typically, the first author is a Ph.D. student or lab scientist.

Middle authors: Individuals that provide critical effort, help, feedback, or guidance for the study and publication of the research. Different fields/labs have varying stringencies for what is considered “middle authorship worthy”. In many labs, simply being present and helping with the research warrants authorship. In other labs, you need to contribute a lot of energy to the project to be included as an author.

Senior author(s): The primary investigators (PI’s) or lead researchers that run the lab that conducted and published the study. The senior authors are typically the ones that acquire funding and oversee all aspects of the published research. PI’s have varying degrees of hands-on management.

There is some variation in whether the central research question for a manuscript is developed by the first vs. the senior author, but usually it’s the senior author. Also, the first and senior authors typically write the manuscript and seek edits/feedback from middle authors. In other cases, there can be dedicated writers that write the manuscript, who sometimes do/don’t get middle authorship. A main takeaway is: the general outline I’ve provided above is not strictly adhered to.

I’ll take some liberty to apply this outline to this article at hand:

First Author: G. Newton (OP). The scientist who mostly likely conducted all of the data mining and analysis. He likely wrote the article as well.

Middle Author: A. Callahan. It seems like this author was a grad student at the time the article was written. She likely performed essential work for the paper’s publication. This could’ve been: helping with the analysis, data mining, or ideation.

Senior Author: M. Dumontier. A data science professor, now at Maastricht U. He’s a highly cited scientist!

Lastly… if you check out the acknowledgements, you can see three additional names. These people likely helped with setting up compute access, editing, or general ideation.

This is a cool manuscript! Hopefully this overview isn’t TMI and provides some insight into the biomedical/data science publication process.
Agree. Unless there is a breakup clause that pays the employee (er, contractor) for severance, it puts all the risk explicitly on the employee, which is horseshit.

> whenever you and the constitution disagree

The constitution and I don't disagree. The constitution says any and all political censorship is prohibited. I cited the exact part of the constitution that backs up my world view.

You have yet to tell me which part of the constitution backs up yours. No brazilian here on HN has ever shown me the part of the constitution that says supreme court judges can censor people if what their political speech is "fake" or "anti-democratic" or whatever.

If it exists, then just show it to me. I can be convinced but nobody's ever shown that to me. Best I ever got was anti-nazism laws which are hierarchically inferior to the constitution. Without such a reference, I'll continue to believe that these judges are above the law and I'm going to make inferences and draw conclusions from that fact.

Google's action is to declare its identity.

The website operator can do with that identity as they wish.

They could block it, accept it, accept it but only on Tuesday afternoon.

"Anticompetitive" would be some action by Google to suppress competitors. Offering identification is not that.
This might have been true back in the 1970s, but at least as far as current development goes, is not.

The only new (non-Russian) European design built in the past 15 years is the EPR at 1600 MW. The only new American design built in the past 15 years is the AP1000 which as the name suggests is 1000 MW (technically 1100). AP1000 uses a massively simplified design to try and be much safer than other designs (NRC calculations say something like an order of magnitude) but is not cost competitive against most other forms of power generation. Which is why after Vogtle 3 and 4 there are no plans for more of them in the US.

It's not that EPR is any better- they are actually doing worse in terms of money and time slippage than Vogtle did. Flamanville 3 had it's first concrete poured in 2007 and still hasn't generated a single net watt!

It turns out that the pause in building nuclear reactors in the west from about 1995-2005- both US (which actually was longer, from the early 1980's, after 3 Mile Island things still under construction were finished but nothing new was built) and Western Europe (after Chernobyl following a similar path) basically gutted the nuclear construction industries in both, and they haven't built back up. The Russians kept at it, and the South Koreans have moved in to the market (and China is building a huge number domestically, though I don't think they've built any internationally), but Western Europe and the US are far behind, and after Fukushima Daiishi I strongly suspect the Japanese are in the same boat. Without the trained workers you can't build these in any predictable way, and when you pause construction for a decade you lose all of the trained workers and it's really hard to build that workforce back up again.
Interesting. My name: tommy

If you ever want to see what it's like for a mathematician to not hand wave anything away, look at excerpts from Bertrand & Russel in principia mathematics (no, not the newton book).

It takes 362 pages (depending on edition) to get to 1+1=2

Of course, just like real mathematicians, in our everyday work we stand on the shoulders of giants, reuse prior foundational work (I've yet to personally write a bootloader, os, or language+compiler, and include 3p libraries), and then hope that any bugs in our proofs are caught during peer review. Like in math, sometimes peer review for our code ends up being a rubber stamp, or our code/proofs aren't that elegant, or they work for the domain we're using them in but there's latent bugs/logic errors which may cause inconsistencies or require a restriction of domain to properly work (ex code only works with ASCII, or your theorm only works for compact sets).

And of course, the similarities aren't a coincidence

At least on a MacBook, docker is still a compromise in many ways since it has to run on a Linux VM (I live in the SF tech bubble where I've only ever been issued a MacBook).

Even on my personal Linux desktop, I don't love developing in containers. It is very tedious to context switch between my local environment and the in-container environment, and I don't even consider myself the type with a super personalized setup.

So I don't consider local docker that much of an improvement over a remote devbox.
getlocalcert looks interesting. For custom domains, what would the value prop be vs using a registrar's API? Discloser: I run TakingNames.io which is a domain seller focused on providing a low-friction API.
But a knowledgeable human can take the iternarary and run with it. I know I’ve done that with code enough from AI generated stuff, it’s basically boiler plate. You still run it through the same tests, reviews, and verification as you would have had to do anyway.

There are a few side tangents that maybe confused you. Here is just the main argument with tangents elided:

>... The California legislators ... tried to get around the obvious First Amendment issues by insisting that the bill was about conduct and design and not about speech. But as we pointed out, that was obviously a smokescreen. The only way to truly comply with the law was to suppress speech that politicians might later deem harmful to children.

... the court saw through the ruse and found the entire bill unconstitutional for the exact reasons we had warned the California government about.
Nice article, thanks for sharing.

Ken, the story I heard wasn't so much that the MM3 demand created the IC industry, but rather that it created the quality culture that then led to ICs being widely accepted, because they were reliable. The AF had such purchasing power due to the program that they were able to impose quality standards on the industry that hitherto were not expected.

> Regardless, #2 is an option. And the choice is entirely yours.

I can also choose not to read over the shoulder of someone reading an article on the train or averting my eyes at the headlines displayed at a newsstand. Somehow, I can't find in me the slavish devotion to the media industry margins required to do so.

> I get more peeved at the entitlement many feel to use ad blockers and rail against content producers monetizing their sites, when the choice to not consume the content is an option.

This is such a confusing opinion, and an even more baffling to thrust it unto others.

The best thing to do for ones computer safety is to run an ad blocker, as acknowledged by even the FBI[0]. Profiling by ad companies makes our world more insecure and inequitable. I deeply despite selling client data as a business model, as it seems you might as well.

So, your position is that I should both lodge my complaint against their unfair dealings by not consuming their website, but that it is also unjust for me to evade tracking and block ads because it hurts their bottom-line which is unethical to begin with . This sorta feels like chastising me for walking out of the room while TV ads run and deigning to watch the rest of the programme.

Probably useful if one end is 100m and not simple to upgrade. Optical transceivers don't usually negotiate on the fiber side, so you'd need a 100m transceiver on the other end.
Given that it brought no benefits to the team, I would probably not say it was innovative.
I agree with everything you say here, except for the asynchronous part. It's much better for a team to see each other face to face for a few minutes a day, especially for remote teams. It's wildly higher throughput than bullet points most people don't bother reading, it gets exposure for junior engineers, and it builds a stronger sense of being a team.

Someone who acts like being asked to spend 10 minutes a day with their team is some major imposition is worth losing over it.
The question for me is where the "metadata" for folding originates.
That requires they you understand the capabilities and limitations of the tech way better than anyone does. So instead "let's see what we can do with this" is the underlying approach.

Yes, this is not about perfection, but one of those effort sinks that can take all your sleep time and more while leaving you with no energy to focus on much more consequential things
1. Daily standup calls, and let things flow via slack/equivalent. You need to set your team for success, that means you need to make the work available to the team with goal based outcomes. Also, check in frequently to review the progress.

2. Weekly twice or once should be good, ideally this is the time for you to talk about the challenges you are facing and also talk about the good things that are happening. Make things visible.

5. Have some focus time for yourself, may be 2 hours per day to start with and adjust up based on the team's needs.

6. Review meetings/gant charts/milestones/sprint retros
Oddly, Radon therapy does seem to show some significant long term benefit for arthritis. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14673618/]

God knows why - maybe the bodies natural healing mechanisms when dealing with low level radiation reduces the inflammation? Or short term spike, causes longer term downregulation?

Either way, longer term pain reduction does seem to be supported with randomized trials.
Embeddings have structure, or they wouldn't be very useful. E.g. cosine similarity works because (many) embeddings are designed to support it.
I wonder who was promising that. It's a lot more like a postal system where you can mail huge volumes of data instantly and for almost no charge, but mailing your neighbor or friend is incredibly difficult compared to mailing a company and getting a reply.

Stuff definitely falls through the cracks.

Even the 20-something-year-old promise of Google to "index the world's information" has failed pathetically. I frequently can't find things I'm looking for, because all I have left in my head is a fingerprint of "I'll know it when I see it" and maybe a couple odd keywords that aren't enough to pull any signal out of the noise.

In one case I got ChatGPT to help me find a book I'd been missing for years because the generic keywords like "magic staff", "tree", "volcano crater" returned jack shit on common search engines. (It was "The Ancient One" by T. A. Barron, if anyone else is stuck looking for it too)

In another case I found a book on Kagi.

The Library of Babel is a much closer analogy. Everything _might_ be in there, but you probably aren't gonna find anything worthwhile. lol.

Price out a 1TB ebs volume with similar performance to a local SSD.

For gp3, you only get 3000 IOPS and 125MBps throughout, without paying extra. That is orders of magnitude less than a local consumer-grade SSD.

Spec it up to 100k IOPS and 5000MBps and you're looking at nearly $800 a month. And that's still way less performance than you get with a local SSD.

Spec it up to 500k IOPS (approaching nvme SSD performance) and you're looking at $2500/month. Now you are on par with a consumer grade SSD.

World Health Organization declares mpox a global health emergency
Of course they were also bad and on the wrong side, and all that.

But the distinction is nonetheless very significant, for obvious reasons -- and the fact of Poland having considered such an action doesn't change this fact.

It may also be driving the fact nothing seems to have come of the internal extradition effort so far. In particular, there's no sign that Poland has actually asked for extradition, only that they were publicly considering it in the aftermath of the scandal.

And that in turn -- could likely be because the sole fact of his being a member of that division (given how its status was decided at Nuremburg) does not present them with sufficient grounds to do so (absent any other signs of criminality).
Being as, unlike other Waffen-SS divisions, foreign-born divisions such as his were specifically exempt from the additional criminal charge of being "an integral part of the SS" that the native-born divisions were. That's because legally and administratively they weren't (nor were its recruits subject to SS or even NS indoctrination, for the most part).

They were also intrinsically less involved in the Final Solution, unlike the regular Waffen-SS, by and large (in particular they were not involved operating the camps, nor did they contribute to units of the Einsatzgruppen).

This is why one can't just use the labels "SS", "Waffen-SS" interchangeably.

Or assume that the latter is simply a subset of the former.

BTW this isn't about nitpicking. It's very, very important to understand that one of the main reasons the Final Solution was so successful was that it didn't require all of its willing helpers to be fanatical, drooling Nazis (or even to care at all about its ideology or aims, let alone be members of its registered organizations).

By and large they were regular folks, "fighting for their country" or so they believed. Or doing what they thought they had to do to survive.

I always found those games extremely depressing, and... Widely known to be botted to hell and back. Ever since the Hearthstone cheating software became capable of "emulating" human behavior, it became clear that 90% of the userbase was non-human. Why play then? An unbalanced game, by virtue of their grind/paid advantage, and you're not even outsmarting anyone. Single player deckbuilders like Slay the Spire and its spawn are objectively better at that point.
