I don't personally see a solution other than student loan money being much harder to get.

There is so much bad research because there are too many researchers.

For myself, I think I am smart enough to have worked on a PhD in economics but not smart enough to have done anything worthwhile or to have advanced the field. I am certain I would not have. Then in the face of this massive student loan debt I would have produced junk research and try to game the system to make the investment worthwhile. The incentives are all ridiculous in the current system for most.

The idea politicians will cut student loan money in order to produce better scientific research would be a good way to optimize for losing an election.

Personally, I don't think there is a way out. If anything it probably just gets worse.

> I cannot believe you will get zero response.

Believe it. Our account seems to have been closed due to a KYC issue, and the bank, by law, cannot tell you any details. See this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41333832

And, yes: we tried every avenue to get more information, including having an attorney write a letter. As you can imagine, this was quite concerning for our company. We wanted to understand if there was some piece of information that might lead other banks to close our account. As I mentioned in another comment, none of our other accounts were closed - only this Chase account.

I tried again to get more information when the Chase accounts I opened, for another business and subsequently a personal credit card, were closed, although by that point, the only logical explanation was my connection to the business bank account that had previously been closed and I didn't have much hope that I'd get an answer.

Also: to be blunt I'm not sure what gave you the impression that I'm looking for advice. I was relating an old anecdote that was relevant to the OP, not asking for help. I just stay away from Chase. At this point I know that I'm blacklisted with them. I have no issue with other banks.

> What exactly is a "personal travel credit card"? I never heard that term before.

"Personal" as in: this was a credit card for me personally, not a business credit card. My point is that I seem to be blacklisted by Chase even for _personal_ accounts unconnected to the business whose account the closed. I assume you've heard of a "travel credit card", but if not: https://www.nerdwallet.com/best/credit-cards/travel

“…the emigrants are disproportionately concentrated among 25-40 year olds. This could corroborate the notion that jobs are the primary motivation for leaving the city”

I’m in this age group. I left New York. (My partner still has a flat here.)

I left because of taxes. I’m in my prime earning years and need my savings to compound, whether through forced savings in the form of a 15-year mortgage or explicit saving in retirement accounts and illiquid investments. If the Census asked, I probably wouldn’t say it that bluntly. But it’s unscientific to assume someone under 40 wouldn’t move due to taxes.

The most ridiculous whataboutism I've seen this week.

... it's almost like one could be opposed to both imperialisms? But also realize that Russia's variety is even worse ?

Here's the key difference between American imperialism and Russian imperialism: when the US invaded Iraq (or Vietnam, or meddled in Nicaragua & El Salvador etc) hundreds of thousands took to the streets and actively opposed it and worked (unsuccessfully) to stop it.

Where are the Russians doing the same about the war in Ukraine?

Putin & Lavrov's bootlickers should try a new line of attack. This one got stale a long time ago.
It's very much patentable and thus represents an IP asset that can be traded, contracted, exchanged, etc, similar to a "technology invention". UCLA likely owns it or a part of it, so can trade it freely. This is quite very very early for a drug, so there's huge risk it will fail in human trails, so that high risk lowers the value significantly versus a phase III passed drug. There's a kazillion drugs like this, XYZ-123 type format, most of which failed or never reached Phase I, Phase II, phase III, phase IV, or phase kappa trials

I remember the happy days when a telephone number (also an email) was a ephemeral, changeable thing. Not a permanent unchanging form of ID.

Alas, if you move out of the country for a period of time, it is a challenge to maintain the host country phone service. So there are no guarantees that you can hold on to that signifier of "this is where I was the last time I wanted to get a new phone subscription".

So the tattoo might be the better choice.

Wondering the same, I've been using Cody and after looking at these Cursor videos am not really seeing what's better about it (not affiliated to Sourcegraph).

In terms of delta-v, the asteroids are much closer to us than mercury. A small one in the belt is like delta 1.5km/s from earth escape, versus 11km/s to mercury. Heck, the Mars moons are technically closer to us than 'our' moon. (Overview i.e deltavmap.github.io/)

And the sun is a gravity well. Mercuries higher orbital speed will not help you leave the solar system. In fact, it is the other way around.

Oh, and solar cells are already crazy good. With all the space you have out there, higher energy density on mercury will be very marginally important.
Leaving aside that it's an example and any other movie could be there: Marvel movies have collected multiple awards including 2 Hugo awards, 4 Academy Awards and 2 Grammys. I think you'll have a tough time finding any measure of quality that at least one of their movies doesn't fulfill.

Fast Action Goggle for Sports
I can create a fast action google for sports. This is very light and very fast at 1000 Hz. It uses exotic sensors that I used in military projects. For example, it can tell if a ball landed inside a court, or not, for playing tennis with your opponent. And, doesn't use the bulky pancake lens, because it uses Infinite Lens, which allows for a close-to-eye translucent display. What do you think? Should I make this?
In my experience people do not lose treasure and also do not get mysterious fevers from emotional turmoil as was so often claimed in European history.

I was told long ago that the first rule of evaluating a medical treatment is to ignore all the clinical studies because nothing useful comes out of them.

I don’t know if that’s actually the case but that seems to be the prevailing thought. Which is awful, because it should be the opposite. Clinical studies should be the gold standard. They’re often conducted by people who are better doctors than scientists though. A zero-blind trial of n=4 might perhaps not be the definitive study the doctor had hoped.

(Not to pick on doctors. My wife’s one. Software developers often fall into the same common “I’m good at this one hard in-demand skill so I must be good at all of them” trap.)

You're attacking a strawman. Authorship data like git commit history is about telling the story of how people brought a thing into existence. The journey can matter as much as the destination. Will AI be able to move forward on its own, if it has no knowledge of how it got there? I guess it's a question of how smart you really want it to be.
I live in Wyoming. If you want outside capital or sell your company, do a Delaware. There are economies of scale at every step that make it the vastly smarter choice. If you’re doing a small business, sure, do a local entity.
re: delta V, the chaotic nature of orbits involving many bodies means that a very well-timed nudge ought to be sufficient to move certain asteroids quite a long distance for "free". So the problem becomes finding the right asteroid, and the right time, and the right nudge vector. More about computation than rocket fuel: the deeper into that chaotic system we can penetrate, the less we have to spend on influencing it.

You've also got to slow it down when it gets to where your smelters are. For that I'd propose we just let it smash into the moon and then mine it on the surface. We can alternate which sides we smash into in order to prevent the moon's orbit from changing significantly.

Of course you still need to provide the initial nudge, which ain't nothing, but it's a far cry from towing an asteroid or towing a smelter.
Seriously, a simple "sorry - that API doesn't actually exist, it's going to have to be The Hard Way"

Using the rocket equation, it is possible to compute the ratio between the $kg launch cost and $/kg material sell price that would make it economical.

Based on my calculations, with optimistic assumptions (including the asteroid being made solely of the desired material), you need 5 Falcon 9 launches and in-space assembly to bring back one ton of material, which would require selling the material for 350k$/kg for parity. But gold is only 80k$/kg, platinum is 30$/kg, etc.

Doesn't look feasible with current technology.

LEGOs are public domain by the way, their patents expired and there’s a fair few similar quality brick manufacturers, such as Sembo. So unless you really want to avoid Chinese manufacturers (which I don’t believe LEGO uses) it’s a viable option and a lot cheaper for little quality loss. Many have very interesting kits, especially for licenses LEGO has not touched yet.
It's interesting how we have become so paranoid about privacy that we don't even give full "if found please contact..." information anymore.

You divulge your name yes but the upside is not having it correlated with a place. The name is written on the mailbox outside but is not mapped to a unit number on the envelope/parcel nor on the building.

The only way anyone can map your unit to your name is by physically watching you collect the mail then return to your unit.
I think it's a good idea to have a pragmatic and general-purpose tool for filesystem-based dataflow programming. It makes an excellent glue. I am not convinced that tool should be make. It's got a lot of warts.

It makes sense to me to use a specialized build system for each language. They can be faster and richer than something generic. People can live inside one programming language for decades straight, so optimizing their experience is worth it.
A lot of "meanwhile in Europe" replies here, but even within the United States there are great places you can fly to pretty cheap. Or make a road trip out of it.

This gives me the same vibes as OceanGate's Titan, and Boeing's Starliner capsule.

Hardly a winning strategy if you can only do it once, IMO. Russia has already consumed a huge fraction of their Soviet legacy of equipment, and their demographics are in trouble for the foreseeable future.

What explosives? The quoted Barents Observer says the cable had been cut. No major newspaper has picked up the story, in fact the interest remains as low as the interest for the alleged France Olympics railway cable sabotage.

It looks to me as if these relatively unimportant sabotage acts are used to stir up sentiment in social media. As we can see here, it works.

As another poster has already said, the power is reduced 10 times, not by 10%.

At such a power reduction, it should be possible to use a much smaller and cheaper EUV source, allowing the use of multiple lithography systems, or increase a lot the throughput achievable with the current EUV sources.

I hope that they have modeled correctly the losses in the mirrors. Here the incidence angle of the EUV light on the mirrors is much closer to a right angle than in the ASML system. It is likely that this increases the absorption in the mirror in comparison with a mirror on which the light falls at an angle far from perpendicular, as used by ASML.

EDIT:

Unfortunately this paper might be a hoax.

I have read the 2013 paper that they give as reference [2] and as the basis of the claim for the 10 times reduction in power losses.

There the losses in the mirror are given only for incidence angles no greater than 21 degrees, very far from a perpendicular incidence. Moreover the data imply that at higher incidence angles the losses increase a lot.

Therefore the system with 4 mirrors at high incidence angles will have much higher losses than a system with 10 mirrors at low incidence angles, unless better mirror materials were discovered in the future.

So ASML must have analyzed this simple system and dismissed it as impossible to make with the known materials.
I fondly remember those days. It feels like such a missed opportunity.
Armv8-A also supports 4K pages: FEAT_TGran4K. So Apple did indeed make a choice to instead use 16K, FEAT_TGran16K. Microsoft uses 4K for AArch64 Windows.

I know how training and inference works under the hood, I know the activation functions and backprop and MMUL, and I know some real applications I really want to build. But there's still plenty of room in the gap between that LM studio helps fill. I also already have software built around the openai api, and the lmstudio openai api emulator is hard to beat for convenience. But if you can outline a process I could follow (or link good literature) to shift towards running LLMs locally with FOSS but still interact with them through an API, I'll absolutely give it a try.

Which era of science was apolitical, exactly? The one where Galileo was prosecuted by the church? Or one where the US military invested billions of dollars into early computer science? Or one where nearly every physicist was staunchly anti-proliferationist ?

Science has not, and will never be, apolitical. It is just that you are noticing that the politics of some scientists does not align with yours or with some politicians, and so you’re noticing the difference.

You sure about that? Here's just one asteroid made of mostly gold, nickel, and / or iron that's supposedly worth many times more than the entire global economy. Pretty sure that anything we have here on Earth also exists "out there" in much greater abundance than we could ever possibly imagine here on our finite little speck of a planet (except maybe "life", which we only have absolute proof of here on Earth).

The bigger problem is the amount of lazy comments on the site, which are invariably highly upvoted.

I'm so sick of pun threads, and office references and any other popular culture reference.

They've just about made me start to hate Monty Python, which is quite an accomplishment.

The latest is that everyone is beating Dune references absolutely to death.

If someone wants an AI project idea, then a browser extension which used an LLM to score all the comments in a Reddit thread and filter out all the lazy comments would be useful. If it works, most of the comments on front page articles should disappear.

It would probably eliminate most of the actual bot comments as well.
Yes - it’s even more intrusive - you have to strap a computer to your face instead of merely sitting in front of it. That was the entire point I’m making.

When my wife died over four years ago, I had to deal with her various online accounts. The most egregious was an organization where we had a family membership. I called them and told them she died. They expressed condolences, and said they would switch me over to my own membership.

When renewal time came, I received two emails: one to me, and one redirected from my wife's email address. Mine said (names changed for reasons of privacy):

"Dear Herodotus, We hope this email finds you and your family well. It is time to renew your membership...."

The second one said this:

"Dear Jane (Deceased), We hope this email finds you and your family well....."

Not all experiences were this bad, but I did get the feeling that most people building client databases do not give much thought to the one use case that is guaranteed for every entry in the client database: Death.

Unsurprisingly, in the vast majority of cases, substance and reputation tend to be at least loosely correlated, at least in academia. There are high-profile exceptions, but they are only high-profile because they are indeed exceptional.
If you have to sue the person offering you 5K for your jacket to ensure they fulfil the deal, it's fair to speculate that even they thought they'd paid too much.
Some courses in my university were restricted to students in their third year or above because of "mathematical maturity", which I thought was complete BS because some of the courses had no other prerequisites. But after taking some of them, I get it. There's a general sense of problem solving flow that takes time to develop.
For most US tech startups, it's basically Delaware C Corp, figure out your 83b / QSBS / SAFE, and later, R&D Tax Credit. If profitable early, and not spending back 100% on growth, add in some treasury management setup. The rest should be growing the pie and not going out of business.

Part of that is saving you time by getting a book keeper and accountant who will walk you through minor additions to this stuff. I see folks spend time on weirder ideas like Trusts, and they are time sucks away from what they should be doing, and if/when M&A hits, a lot of nonsense to unwind. I rather spend that time getting an extra $50k-$100k customer that raises the valuation $500k-$1M.

The one shift I've seen is QSBS hijinks at state levels have led to founders leaving SF/NYC/etc as their co's hit Series B+ and and they care less about local VC + tech ecosystem proximity. Less true of unprofitable companies reliant on the next round for keeping the lights on.
Same. I think a lot of it comes down to the language you’re using. If I’m doing something in Python or Rust, poetry or cargo hand all the magic I would have encoded in a Makefile for a C project years ago. Today I have a justfile with a target like:

cargo build

and a bunch of other targets for testing, running it, etc.
