Yes, yes. I've counted about 15 different submissions today alone that have someone complaining about the title being clickbait. Your complaint makes 16.

It's always clickbait. If the title was your suggestion, someone else would say it's clickbait because spies are somewhat like the movies.
Would you pay $6.99 for a onigiri?

Sure they're ~120 JPY-240JPY. But it wouldn't be the same price. Plus would they really sell them in the USA?

Same for more of the other options, I don't see it really happening. There's a reason hotdogs, nachos and whatever else they offer in USA is the norm. That's what the market takes and settles on and even then, it's over $5.

I agree with you, science fraud is terrible. It pollutes and breaks the scientific method. Enormous resources are wasted, not just by the fraudster but also by all the other well meaning scientists who base their work on that.

In my experience no, most fraudsters are not evil people, they just follow the incentives and almost non-existent disincentives.
Scientist has become just a job, you find all kinds of people there.

As far as I know no-one goes to jail, worst thing possible (and very rare) is losing the job, most likely just the reputation.
"but everyone does it" is about the most pathetic, incurious defense you could muster
Mostly an ad for Yao.

- Is there really a major use case for function traits? Is more elaboration of the type system actually useful?

- The original "Rewriting Rust" article discussed replacing Rust's macro system. That's not mentioned here. If you had to write your macros in Rust, to be run in compile time, would that be a win? I doubt it. Each macro would start with a call to a parser, and then you generate code as strings. This would pay off only for complex cases such as a regular expression compiler. Rust already has compile-time build programs, where you can run Rust during the build process. (I use that to take in an API definition from another source and generate Rust.)

- "Runtime capabilities" seems to be an attempt to build a container system into the language. It's not clear that helps much. That's really the OS's job. Protecting programs against themselves is nice, but not usually the problem. I'd like to see something in Android that gives an app file access with less access than "all files". Like "Can read what was installed for this app, can write working subdirectory for this app, and nothing else."
So what does it mean? A lead person with the project said it, and it was the only quote from that person that made it into the article. The boundaries are explicitly said to not be known tipping points, so we don't know that some new mechanisms become dominant outside of them. We're only told that leaving these bounds is "higher-risk" and that inside the bounds is some "safe zone" but the actual risk or the meaning of "safety" in this context are not communicated.

This is a leading science publication reporting on an apparently notable finding about how serious the current situation is, but the actual information presented is either vague or hyperbolic.

Note, I'm not saying the situation isn't serious, or that drastic action isn't warranted. I'm saying this piece, discussing this work, is at minimum sloppy and unclear, and I think this is at the level of being counter-productive. When the situation is serious, try speaking clearly rather than in shrill metaphor.

> Probably not, but I'm of the opinion you don't need to publicly post what "acceptable usage" is.

The allegation here is that the acceptable usage thing is basically entirely made up and instead WPEngine is being cut off due to a business dispute with a separate entity controlled by the same person.

Arguably if such a thing is true, it is pretty unprofessional. There could be other legal issues involved (ianal), but i think the primary argument is moral not legal.

Having a public policy and applying it equally would be strong evidence that this really is the reason for the block.

> But they don't have a sign saying what their coffee limit is, do they?

Sure, but if they enforced that policy arbitraily they could very easily get in trouble if it looks like there is an unacceptable ulterior motove. The most obvious example would be if they only applied it specific racial groups or something like that - highly illegal.

An example more close to the one at hand would be if one of the board members of starbucks was also on the board of a bulk coffee company and starbucks only refused bulk coffee orders in locations where this other retailer operated. This would almost certainly be considered a violation of antitrust laws. It would probably be a violation of the board's fiduciary duty. Having a public policy that is enforced equally may not be technically required but it is a good defense against allegations of various tyoes of unsavory behaviour.
> As flexible as Lisp": I think this is proven.

Given the development model of Lisp is modifying a live image of a running program, I have to assume you limited this statement to the availability of macros.
tuna plus mayo and umeboshi (tart, pickled plum) are my two favorite onigiri stuffings
This sounds like a problem that PixelQi tech could solve - it used prisms instead of filters for colours, which reduced light absorption on inactive LCD pixels, so if the lower LCD is a PixelQi panel, you can add a set of filters with the second LCD panel and drive the backlight harder to gain better contrast (a problem with PixelQi) within the same power envelope of a "regular" LCD.

But I’ve got good news for anybody in the market for one: Trump just launched his poop log crypto scam.
It is the same flavor of fraud as financial fraud. It is about personal gain, and avoiding loss.

This kind of fraud happens because scientists are rewarded greatly for coming up with new, publishable, interesting results. They are punished severely for failing to do that.

You could be the department's best professor in terms of teaching, but if you aren't publishing, your job is at risk at many universities.

Scientists in Academia are incentivized to publish papers. If they can take shortcuts, and get away with it, they will. That's the whole problem, that's human nature.

This is why you don't nearly as many industry scientists coming out with fraudulent papers. If Shell's scientists publish a paper, they aren't rewarded for that, if they come up with some efficient new way to refine oil they are rewarded, and they also might publish a paper if they feel like it.
To protect the kids of course! How ever could the government prevent all of these awful crimes against children unless we surveil everything. Like I always say, if you have nothing to hide. . .

Is what I imagine some spook told the lawmakers. Sarcasm aside, I believe it is control.
You are both right. It is both worth calling out historical polluters and also making sure we push back on creating more polluting energy sources.
While I do enjoy some popular genres, I'm all too aware of the massive industry behind it all. I believe that most of humanity's greatest works of art were created not for commercial interests but rather for the pure joy of creation, of human expression. This can be found in any genre if you look hard enough, but it's no accident that the music I find the most rewarding is classical music: Intellect, emotion, spirit, and narrative dreamed into existence by one person and then brought to life by other artists so we can share in its beauty.

I think music brings about a connection between the composers, lyricists, performers, and listeners. Music lets us participate in something uniquely human. Replacing any of the human participants with AI greatly diminishes or eliminates its value in my eyes.
I don't understand why one-implementation language project would need RFCs, other than to inflate their sense of self-importance.

RFCs are useful in a multi-vendor situation. They are permanent documents the constitute a kind of standard. For instance internet RFCs, or Scheme SRFIs.

If the rest RFC is something you jettison once it implemented, then it's actually something that belongs in a bug database as a feature request, which can be marked closed when done (after which nobody ever looks at it again except as a historic reference). Someone implementing the same thing in a new implementation would not be looking at it, but at the real documentation (which was written as part of implementing the ticket, and maintained afterward).
If there's this much overt, deliberate fraud and dishonesty in all of our research institutions, the quantities of soft lying and fudging are inconceivable.

We need to seriously rethink our approaching to stewarding these institutions and ideas, public trust is rightfully plummeting.
if that's true, sea-food market will go up, esp. mussels will be more expensive. Any stock to look out for?
Yes, and to add there's nothing wrong with it. The editor is responsible for curation. This has been a practice for many decades, there are news agencies primarily focused on selling syndicated content produced by their own journalists such as Associated Press or Reuters. You'll find this content in all newspapers even the best. Generally unless it's an exclusive or breaking news, there's a good chance it'll be syndicated at some point.

There’s a joke in there about which of the two screwed more people…
Are they limiting the input to a 1% cap, then multiplying the difference from the actual model by 0.000000001?

If so it might not be too bad in practice, but it's still bad science. It's like someone today took planetary epicycles and copied them verbatim into their car physics simulator. Yeah, it probably won't be a material detriment, but why are they in there?
It's obviously not that easy. Casinos go bankrupt left and right. Hell, one famous former president is responsible for three of them.
You say, correctly I believe, "for virtual reality to count, there must be high stakes, real consequences..."

Domains in which this is true, specifically domains for which "negative training" gets people killed, are probably the best bet. Military, LEO, disaster preparedness training spring to mind. However, the cost of the real world training exercises replaced has to be more than the cost of the VR, or the training exercise has to be impossible or too dangerous to pull off in the real world.

Yeah TV is not something everyone wants to play around with. Not even nerds. Especially if you have a partner which just want to watch tv. You just want to relax and watch tv without any issues.
Yes. It'd be a problem for running code directly from it - it'd be better to cache it to DRAM so that all reads would come from DRAM and only writes would make it to FE-RAM.

IIRC, it was a common trick with 286 and 386 PCs, because BIOS ROMs were 8-bit wide and shadowing the BIOS in RAM made it much faster.

Technically that's prehistoric. History conventionally starts with the invention of writing
Once, at 3Com, Bob Metcalfe introduced a talk by one of his MIT professors with the little joke, "The reason academic politics is so vicious is that nothing's at stake."

The guy said, "That depends on whether you consider reputation 'nothing.' "

I guess what that shows is, you can always negotiate and compromise over money, but reputation is more of a binary. An academic can fake some work, and as long as he's never called on it, his reputation is set.

So yeah, a little more fear of having one's reputation ruined would go a long way towards fixing science.
Universities became tax funded and the consequences is warm bodies filling chairs. I have experience with a number of big name unis in the U.S. they are all about office and national politics. It's not about the work and hasn't been for a while now.

Defund universities. No more student loans, make them have to earn their place in the market or we will continue to suffer under the manipulated system that is actually killing students.
What happened to the numbers racket(s), and why do I want to consign that to the past and the era of prohibition? Did it decline along with the mafia? Was it diluted by state lotteries? Was it never so bad in the first place?
That's essentially every instruction though. You can't write a program that doesn't access memory for example, and every memory access is nondeterministic in wall clock time.
These graphs are misleading because they overestimate the "relevant emissions" of the global south countries.

What I mean is that it is possible to emit some CO2 and it will just get absorbed and transformed back to O2 via natural processes in a sustainable fashion. So really from a country's emissions you should subtract off this number in some per capita fashion to get the actually relevant or excess emissions.

If you do that I think you will find that a good number of countries have never emitted any excess emissions at all, and more than half have barely emitted anything of consequence. The blame on US, Europe, Canada, Australia will be even bigger than the ~70% shown on this chart.
Sounds like someone should write a paper that makes fraudulent claims about the extent of fraud in all of academia!
Retailers will not be selling physical games for much longer tho. Walmart US has already started phasing them months ago.

Game shops like EB are likely going to stop soon too I imagine which also conincides with all their gaming merch and toys thats taking up the majority of their store space these days.
Definitely not for running code directly from it (unless it's shadowed to RAM), but for storing config data or checkpoints, it makes sense.
From personal experience, it is all I've seen. Could anyone be in a position to extrapolate to all of academia without speaking from personal experience? I'm not speaking of all academics (hence 'most'). It's a statement similar to "Hollywood has a drug problem" or something of that sort.

My advice to anyone going into Hollywood would be to stay away from drugs; my advice to anyone going into academia is to treat every interaction as if you've just sat at a poker table in Las Vegas.
As someone who had a 3090 because that's all I could get my hands on at the time, I would not recommend anyone consider the XX90 products. Leave those for the over-the-top, money is no object, "I'm just flexing on you" builds. XX80 should be considered the limit for people who are building a reasonable gaming PC.

I ended up switching to a 4080. It certainly doesn't sip power and is also quite expensive, but the difference is large enough that I don't feel anymore like I need to find a way to send the heat output directly outside during the summer.
Perhaps ban is too strong. I think Canada has had a really positive result in how it has dealt with tobacco. Cigarettes are by no means illegal, you can get them at any gas station, grocery store, 7-11 or pharmacy. But they are heavily taxed, the packages have to be covered in graphic warnings, the branding has to be plain and just use a generic font of the brand name. Commercials aren't allowed. Advertising isn't allowed. As a result, a lot less people just take up smoking, and it's almost completely fallen off culturally.

That might be the best solution to gambling. At least in Canada, casinos are very well advertised and glamorized. They're often run by the government, but they still market themselves to attract customers in a way you wouldn't expect of say, a safe opioid consumption site. Their slot machines are just as addictive. Sure, there's lip service paid to preventing gambling addiction, eg a piece of paper on the wall instructing patrons to play responsibly. But if we took the same attitude towards it as we do to tobacco, it might just fade away without all the downsides of prohibition.
I had a feeling academia was just run a ran by people letting blatant fraud, exploitation and abuse of phd students, stealing during peer-review, and just other forms of plagiarism, fraud, and exploitation slide by. They let it slide by because correcting these things would lead to massive changes in academia that might put them out of jobs.

Every year that feeling becomes more certain. Glad I quit the track in grad school.

I feel terribly for all the incredibly smart and hard working academics that remain honest and try to make it work. They do what they love, otherwise they wouldn't do such intensive work with so much sacrifice.

It is really disheartening too because academia only turns on the "honesty filter" when it comes to minor grad students that pissed off the wrong people. But you can do all this fraud constantly and become president of harvard if you know the right politics.

Dishonest lot. I hope karma is real so they get what is coming to them for taking advantage of people that just love to increase humanity's knowledge.
Yeah, a lot of people pay for deeper content. I basically hang out on yahoo finance all day (crazy awesome site), and they make a lot of news feeds available to their subscribers. But it takes quite a big commitment to subscribe at a level where you get all the news and analyst reports in a timely fashion. Google News feeds have been declining in quality and don't find them valuable anymore. Hacker News is one of the sites I scan for news. I check it all, and I belong to Ground News as well.

The problem with cumulative data is that you can't justify your wrongdoing just because someone else did it too.

The EU and USA are both shrinking, unlike China and India which are growing.

We should all be cutting.

The other part that I actually don't like about any of these metrics is that they don't take land-mass and population into account.

Ideally you'd measure CO2 emissions per capita per square km/mile and compare that.
I was very surprised Minitel only happened many years after it.
Intel is on track to receive its $8.5B CHIPS Act award by year-end
On that topic, I was recently very surprised to learn that only 3% of Indians were ever on a flight in their life. With the country being so geographically large and so many Indian people in workplaces and conferences and everything (as in, it's just normal to me), it blew my mind to realise that most of these are actually all among the top richest fraction

It's just crazy how well-off we are compared to so many people around the world in not just low- but also middle- income countries. We really could do well to take a small step back and get everyone onto some fair middle ground while we fix these emissions

Edit: found the source: Polymatter's video "Why there are no flights between India and China" from earlier this month, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuWAdYl5icY at 16:32
Very biased article, with the author injecting a lot of his personal opinions on the matter.
> Eh, none of that seems to fall into either of the buckets you describe, other than maybe sit-ins "targeting" racist owners of restaurants. Plus, I know this is annoying but... source? Any data backing that claim?

You do realize that said protest caused mass inconvenience, right? It was upending a lot of the racist norms at the time which in turn triggered waves of violence against black protesters which is what started the ball rolling. Said waves of violence also lead to the creation of the Black Panthers which actively scared many parts of the government at the time.
"News" page last update: March 2016. Maybe need a "(2014)" on the title, looks like that was when 3.3.0 was released.
I'm curious which statistic they actually used (spent vs lost). If you're playing a quick game with 99% payout, you could earn $1k of income in a month and "spend" $10k on gambling. It seems like money lost would be an easier figure to compare.
I just got that email, "we have updated the Steam Subscriber Agreement".

It seems that the only way to not accept the new agreement is to close your Steam account. I assume they don't provide any way to use the games you bought if you do this, and don't refund you either. How is that legal?

Of course I've seen this in a ton of subscription-based services, but since Steam lets you "purchase" games, that really seems problematic?

It's wrong to think that because there is reports of fraud or systematic error in science you shouldn't trust it. I'm sure all those things exist. But they also exist in every other institution with a lot less self-reflection and self-correction.

Nassim Taleb said that people think weathermen are terrible predictors of the future. He says meteorology is among the most accurate sources of predictions in our lives. But we can easily validate it and we see the mistakes. If we had as much first hand experience with other types of predictions we'd appreciate the accuracy of weatherman. My point is: just because you know the flaws in a system don't assume it isn't better than another.
