To me, nepotism is a classic principal-agent problem.

Imagine you own a business, but you hire me to manage it.

If I negotiate a great salary and use it to get my kids the best education, help them get a house, fund them through unpaid internships? Not nepotism.

If you, the owner, say you want your dumb kid paid six figures for a do-nothing job? Eh, it's your money.

I think people need to come down from their moral high horses when it comes to employers. Nearly every large company out there has likely done or is currently doing something that you may disagree with. Working a job requires you to do what your employer hired you for, not to critique every element of their business in every country they operate on the planet.

Sure if you feel that strongly about something, like social media, and you throw up in your mouth at the thought of contributing to that, then don't work there.

I worked in large corporations before, I generally have problems with companies that size. I don't think it matters if they are Tech or Pharma or Insurance or Banks, they will exhibit a lot of the same internal behaviors that I want to avoid - internal politics, people that do nothing, people that wield their title at you, random layoffs, etc. I didn't enjoy working at a giant corporation but if I need to in order to feed my family, pay rent, get to retirement, etc. I will.
There's an endless stream of bypasses on macOS, because the operating system was never designed for these granular permissions. You can't just add them later, on top of the legacy Mac OS and NeXTSTEP technologies.

I've found a number of bypasses myself, and I'm not even a security researcher, just a longtime app developer. I know where the bodies are buried, so to speak. However, I ultimately gave up looking, because Apple's security vulnerability reporting system is absolute trash; their only interest seems to be to keep you quiet for as long as possible. It's a waste of time.

My overall feeling is that macOS has become the victim of security theater, harming both users and legitimate developers with enfeedbled software and an endless stream of permissions requests—much like Apple's old parody of Windows Vista—while doing nothing to stop real attackers, who can easily bypass the security theater whenever they want.

It does seem very odd that "someone" can just claim ownership, file a lawsuit, and someone else has to defend themself in the face of a masked accuser whose motives, funding ... and even their own claimed ownership is so obscure that you can't effectively question it.

There were easily visible stairs in my level 1 and level 3, but on level 2 I walked around the whole map twice without finding them. Possibly I was just being oblivious, but I eventually tried moving sideways onto what I thought was a slightly odd looking wall segment (I wish I remembered what exactly made me think it looked odd), and suddenly I was on the next level.

I don't know whether somehow the stairs icon just blended in with the walls unexpectedly well and I managed to not recognize it in that context (which seems possible but hard for me to believe, given how much time I spent walking in circles looking for stairs), or whether something odd was going on with the icon being different or distorted for some reason.

In particular (from a very quick glance!) it looks like they distinguish between nepotism and inherited human capital only by using a particular model. They have data on father-son pairs and the correlation between them in terms of publication record; and data on total number of publications of (a) academics' sons and (b) outsiders. They impose a model with just nepotism and inherited human capital and fit it to the data. I'd worry there might be other explanations for the observed patterns.
> We randomly initialize A such that it has singular values of 1, freeze it, and only train B. When we do this, we see a sharp reduction in high ranking intruder dimensions in comparison to those in normal LoRA

This sounds interesting, but I can't see that they do much with this result. Are they saving it for a follow up paper? I would think that if their whole paper is about a big problem with LoRAs and they then find what looks like an easy solution for that problem that would warrant more than a paragraph just before the conclusion.

It would also have been interesting if they included the DoRA method, they reference it briefly and that paper claims to resemble fine tuning learning behavior.

But perhaps this paper is focused on LoRA behavior, and a separate paper comparing various improvements is better.
I guess the SSD module is good? I’m still frustrated that Apple has 2 weeks lead time for any custom Mac models (more RAM? More SSD?) in my region, no matter it’s a MBP or Mac Mini.

3-D printers are much lower bandwidth than conventional 2-D printers, and the conventional Centronics parallel port could handle up to "75,000 characters per second", according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port#Centronics. The total amount of data in a print is larger, but typically the 3-D printer is only processing 1–10 commands per second, compared to about 100 for a dot-matrix printer.

But the point I was trying to make was that dot-matrix printers predated the availability of microcontrollers, or even microprocessors, and you needed cheap microprocessors to make hobbyist 3-D printers.
Better give me an Arm-based Thinkpad.
Rewriting the old Fortran code in C will probably make it slower with new bugs. A smarter thing to do when picking up terrible code written by physicists is to document everything you can, write tests and then start refactoring bit by bit using modern Fortran features (yes, the latest standard is 2023).

Fortran compilers had more than 40 years to become pretty good at generating efficient code; they can make assumptions that are not possible in C (for example, no aliasing) to do so. Besides, most compilers already can do vectorization and autoparallelisation with multithreading, coarrays, and/or openMP, which can be offloaded to a GPU.

I'm very much an "old school" commuter cyclist, I started way before this current movement towards vision zero and separated bike infrastructure, to provide context. Bicycling is my main transport and has been for 15 years now.

I practice "vehicular cycling" and love being in the road. I also choose routes where I can maintain at least 75% of the speed limit, so lots of 30mph roads.

It's definitely sketchier than the new style infrastructure that's popping up, but it's also way faster. I use a radar and mirror for safety and I keep the speed delta between traffic and myself at a minimum. Only serious injury I've had was getting creamed by an incoming drunk driver at speed.

Best world would be keeping pedestrians, cyclists, and cars all separated for maximum convenience. But failing that, I'd much rather be in a painted bike lane than on a sidewalk.

The custom firmware (really just a magic string) was required for "Apple HD SC Setup" or the later "Drive Setup" to recognize, partition, and format the drive.

In order to upgrade the hard drive in a classic 68k or PPC Mac you had to either buy an Apple drive, or buy a third party disk utility capable of setting up a non-Apple drive.

Many Apple-specific retailers would bundle in the software needed to use a new hard drive with the purchase of one but you'd better believe they baked the cost in to the price of the drive.

If all you had was a Mac, your System disks, and a new non-Apple hard drive you 100% could not use it.

I used FWB Hard Disk Toolkit, but it was >$100.

Both Apple HD SC Setup and Drive Setup have been patched by the retro community to work with any drive, but in the 80s and 90s this was not the case.

Here's an interesting extract:

> We find evidence of nepotism for 5–6.6% of scholars’ sons in Protestant and for 29.4% in Catholic universities and academies. Catholic institutions relied more heavily on intra-family human capital transfers. We show that these differences partly explain the divergent path of Catholic and Protestant universities after the Reformation.

This relates to an important paper providing evidence that indeed Protestantism was associated with scientific progress: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4389708

The multi-millionaire and billionaire class have long put their thumbs on the scale of democracy through donations to the political class with the hope of gaining influence and shaping policy. But Tuesday's election outcome brings about a big shift that is different it seems to me from the past. US policy and democracy it seems to me has been handed directly to a small cast of characters led by Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bejos and perhaps the Murdoch family.

They were upgradable but the Apple hard disk utility would only format Apple drives. There were several third party utilities and they were usually bundled when buying e.g. Quantum drives, but if you took a drive from elsewhere you'd have to have a copy of the utility.

If there was custom firmware, I think it was just the model ID or some other license key system.

I expect they are thinking of the "Safe C++" proposal P3390. This proposes to provide the syntax and other features needed to grant (a subset of the future) C++ the same safety properties as safe Rust via an equivalent mechanism (a borrow checker for C++ and the lifetime annotations to drive it, the destructive move, the nominative typing and so on).

Much as you might anticipate (although perhaps its designer Sean Baxter did not) this was not kindly looked upon by many C++ programmers and members of WG21 (the C++ committee)

The larger thing that "Safe C++" and the reaction to it misses is that Rust's boon is its Culture. The "Safe C++" proposal gives C++ a potential safety technology but does not and cannot gift it the accompanying Safety Culture. Government programmes to demand safety will be most effective - just as with other types of safety - if they deliver an improved culture not just technological change.
The ideal solution is that the government demonstrates overwhelming effectiveness at stopping violent crime so people won’t feel the need to have a self defense gun
