I believe NIH's directive that all intramural and extramural research must be published OA has helped move things in that direction quite a lot.
That's not how the EU works. If whatever is passed is an EU regulation, it will be immediately harmonized across all member states the date it goes into effect, as the regulation is law by itself. If it is a directive, each member state will have to pass their own law that follows what is laid out in that directive, but it is not optional, so there is no convincing involved.

The only convincing that needs to happen is for all the EU Council members (head of government of each member state) to vote for the regulation/directive, and the majority of the EU parliament members to vote for it.
This is so stupid. I am a fan of the books Privacy is Power and The Tech Coup, both books do a great job arguing for privacy and mitigating the harm of tech giants.

What should be done is having strong privacy laws, requirements for encrypting user data, 100% transparency on how user data is sold (require all buyer and seller information to be public), prohibiting sale of user data in most cases, super fine control privacy and security settings.

Google already does a good job on some of these things, and they and other tech giants need to be fenced in by strong privacy and user rights laws.

Corporations are good at still making profits when they have to follow laws that are inconvenient to them.

If members of the US Congress were prohibited by law from stock trading, that might help clean up the logjams preventing better laws.

You’re right. It’s cumbersome. And this will change.

I actually spooked for launch and dialed things down.

The idea was for a user to skip the interface and just type a subdomain to get started: <whatever>.tips.io

All sites would start in a playground mode where no signup is required to get going.

But it would be timed and if you didn’t add an email progress would be lost and the site would self-delete.

For launch, I limited it to basically zero to work out bugs and spam. I will be reversing this but open to ideas to balance onboarding.

>C'mon. Their funding is entirely US dependent.

I believe you're misinformed about that.

The majority of committed support by country has come from the United States,
whose total aid commitment is valued at about $75 billion. The U.S. is
followed by Germany and the United Kingdom for highest commitments overall.
The European Union as a whole has committed approximately $93 billion in aid
to Ukraine.[0]

While the US is largest donor by country, the EU as a whole has contributed more than the US.[1] Which is unsurprising, given the circumstances.

So no. Ukraine funding is not entirely dependent on the US. Not even close.

We simply need the same that we have for music - the ability to legally purchase an offline digital copy that we can use on whatever device we want to.

This is a completely solved problem. In essence, movies and TV shows aren't any different from music in that regard. The only issue is that there hasn't been enough regulatory scrutiny regarding this when it comes to videos.

We need governments to step in, force the same system that we have for music also for video content, and slap anyone who violates the regulations with billions of dollars of fines.

I backed the original Maslow and also the Maslow 4, and recently a 4.1 upgrade. The creator is a really dedicated guy and the Maslow is a great CNC for those who cut sheets goods from wood (though folks have adapted it to other materials) and are OK with some tinkering.

There is a decent sized community that supports the software as well.
Semantic Scholar's search is pretty good, but there are also a variety of other (paid) projects that expand on its API. Look at tools like Scite and LitMaps for what's possible with the semantic scholar dataset.

As for coverage, I think it focuses more on the life sciences, but I'm not positive about that.
There are two big tricks: their chips are enormous, and they use sram as their memory, which is vastly faster than hbm ram being used by GPUs. In fact this is main reason it’s so fast. Groq has the speed because of the same reason.

Typical rasterized pipelines with deferred rendering:

1. For each light, setup a virtual camera at the light and
1a. For each mesh, rasterize depth to a texture for that light (the shadow map)
2. For each mesh, rasterize material properties and depth to a texture for the main camera
3. For each pixel on screen
3a. For each light in the pixel's bin: sample the shadow map several times to determine if the pixel is in the light's shadow, and if not, apply the lighting for that light

By contrast, megalights:

1. For each mesh, rasterize material properties and depth to a texture for the main camera
2. For each pixel, pick a random light influenced by how close it is, how bright it is, etc
3. For each pixel, raytrace to the light. If you hit another object before the light, then you're in shadow. If not, the light is visible and affecting the point, so write the light to the direct light texture.
4. For each pixel, denoise the direct light texture by essentially blending spatially (with nearby pixels) and temporally (with pixels from the previous frame's direct light texture).
5. For each pixel, sampling the material properties and the denoised direct lighting texture, apply the lighting to the pixel and write out the final result.

The rasterized method is:

* Expensive - having to culling + rasterize every mesh per light means you can only have a few shadow casting lights
* Expensive a second time - Each pixel needs to loop over all the lights in its bin
* Expensive yet again - It's a lot of memory usage to store all those shadow map textures
* Expensive a fourth time - To get good results, you need multiple samples of the shadow map per pixel, which is a lot of texture reads.
* Poor quality - Shadow maps are a discrete approximation of shadows. Even with multiple samples, you'll often have poor quality and even artifacts unless you have either artists or a very complicated system to tweak shadow biases and cascades.

Megalights (stochastic light sampling), by contrast:

* Have a higher base overhead - ray tracing is expensive!
* Scale much better - With a fixed number of rays per pixel (usually 0.5, 1, or 2), the time and memory cost at a given resolution depends mostly on the BVH complexity used for accelerating raytraces (if the random sampling is done correctly, Nvidia research shows that this can be surprisingly slow if you're not careful). Forget having only a couple shadow casting lights, now you can have thousands!
* Looks much better, with much less work - No more adjusting biases or cascades or shadow sampling patterns. There's no need since raytracing is a fully continuous representation of visibiliyy between two points, unlike shadow maps. You can also integrate proper transparencies, refractions, reflections, volumetrics, emissive meshes or textures, IES light profiles, etc with raytracing, unlike rasterization.
* Has different failure modes - With rasterization, too many lights or too complicated lighting will kill performance, but not quality. With megalights, performance will be fine, but you'll end up with too much noise for the denoiser to handle, which will look bad.

Where did you get that? It's not true at all. In fact, cleaning a squat toilet doesn't even require a flush, only a drain.

On the contrary, when using the Western toilet, the dick touches the toilet surface, and this chronically spreads urinary infections up the urinary tract, starting at the urethra, all the way to the kidneys. This is not just theoretical; it actually happens, and only with the Western toilet.
> Or to paraphrase Vladimir Kara-Murza, democracy will come to Russia. So far the west has been better off letting Putin tie his own noose.

Unfortunately the noose is a tie and it's soaked in Ukrainian blood so far.

Of course Ukrainians should be grateful for the help they got, and no doubt they are. But they should also be worried about how little they got and based on that rate where this war will eventually end. I am afraid it will end with bleeding all of Ukraine. I wish Western leaders, especially West European leaders were more bold. Where are the Margaret Thatchers, François Mitterrands, and Helmut Kohls of yesteryear. We got milquetoast Sholzs and Macrons instead.

It's worse than that, even - IIRC the renderer that other browsers have to use is slower and more limited than the one Safari uses.

So other browsers are effectively reskinned hobbled Safari.
I wonder if it’s possible to have a purely portable system like this. So no cables, just omnidirectional wheels and maybe some wireless locators in the corner of the room. It would need to correct for wheels losing traction, slope etc.

That's not what an exception proving a rule means. It has a technical meaning: a sign that says "free parking on sundays" implies parking is not free as a rule.

When used like this it just confuses a reader with rethoric. In this case netflix is just bad at live streaming, they clearly haven't done the necessary engineering work on it.

That is interesting, but I haven't read how it is implemented yet.

The hard part is a cache layer with immediate consistency. It likely requires RAFT (or, otherwise, works incorrectly). Integration of this cache layer with S3 (offloading cold data to S3) is easy (not interesting).

It should not be compared to s3fs, mountpoint, geesefs, etc., because they lack consistency and also slow and also don't support full filesystem semantics, and break often.

It could be compared with AWS EFS. Which is also slow (but I didn't try to tune it up to maximum numbers).

For ClickHouse, this system is unneeded because ClickHouse is already distributed (it supports full replication or shared storage + cache), and it does not require full filesystem semantics (it pairs with blob storages nicely).
Does libertarianism take a position on transgender issues? (This seems to be one focus area of the article.) I can see the author has a strong view but I don't know how libertarianism informs it.
Poverty. Regulation and testing are not just a matter of will, they cost money. We like to pretend like all the wealth in richer economies goes to TVs and cars and fashion but health, education, safety, etc are all luxury goods.
Its also been widely reported that when Trump first met Putin he said if he invaded Ukraine, he would turn Moscow and several other cities into a parking lot. Trump in several interviews has said he warned Putin not to do it, that he would pay a very, very heavy cost and he would see to it that he would.

This is all Trump had to do.

He was able to leverage the media's reporting on him that he was reckless, dangerous and prone to rash behavior and they were convinced he was going to start WWIII with? Yeap, you guessed it, the Russians. Putin believed what the media were reporting because Trump himself had verbally warned him.

He didn't need forces and cash. He did what OP recommended, he threatened Putin with force and Putin complied and just waited out Trump. It was a gift that Biden was elected in 2020 and if you go through the news reports, literally months after Biden was elected, Russia started massing troops on the border and readying their troops to invade. Its a strange coincidence that they didn't invade in the four years Trump was in office. He leaves and less than a year later, Russia is preparing to invade? C'mon man.

Your timeline is completely wrong.

- Biden's inauguration took place on January 2021.

- The Russians were amassing troops by December of 2021 (less than a year after he took office).

- The Afghan pullout wasn't until the Summer of 2021

- The Russian officially invaded in February of 2022

The green light wasn't needing forces and cash built up, it was Trump leaving office. The Afghan pullout had no effect on when they were going to invade since they were already massing troops and air support to the border regions where they finally launched their invasion from. Its not like the Russians decided to invade during the Afghan disaster as you insinuated, the invasion plans were already established by then.

Again, the tipping point was Trump leaving office.

Won the war? Putin lost his political goals the first month. Everything since then has just been a very slow (and literal) death animation.

Putin has destroyed Russia's population pyramid and driven away all sensible educated people. Their society is screwed for a generation.

Trump is a wildcard and may try to pressure Putin if he thinks it will get him the Nobel Peace prize he so desperately desires. But even the most conciliatory Trump cannot save Russia now.

I was only able to read the abstract. I do think that any discussion on the perceived trustworthiness of ‘scientists’ needs to be specific about the types of scientists under concern. I am personally skeptical of scientists involved in so-called public health whose job is to introduce error through simplification and apply PR (propaganda) techniques across segmented populations (divide and conquer). A major failure point I observe is that some of the scientists’ targets are often not quite as stupid as they assume.

Granted, I am not in the field, not a scientist; I merely live near some and drink wine with them. Nice people.
