I think the stress at senior/staff will be there no matter what but if you aren't especially suited for the management track, the stress of being a manager will be 10x. If you're suited, then I'd argue it will be 1x or maybe less.

I've attempted to follow the traditional/expected progression path of senior->management and had a horrible experience each time. Even though I was getting praised for the work,it was taking way more energy from me to the point of burning out much faster than anything at the IC level.
As you mention, the leftmost image (the red "photogram" intending to show intensity) is filtered. I'm writing mostly to amplify your comment because I spent some years working with these images.

People may not be aware how strongly filtered it is. The PHI imager is using 6 very narrow (<<0.1 nm) passbands, all centered about one absorption line (Fe I, 317nm, as you mention). It's insanely narrowband.

From the abstract of the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.11061) describing the instrument:

> SO/PHI measures the Zeeman effect and the Doppler shift in the Fe i 617.3 nm spectral line. To this end, the instrument carries out narrow-band imaging spectro-polarimetry using a tunable LiNbO3 Fabry-Perot etalon, while the polarisation modulation is done with liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs). The line and the nearby continuum are sampled at six wavelength points and the data are recorded by a 2k × 2k CMOS detector. [...] The high heat load generated through proximity to the Sun is greatly reduced by the multilayer-coated entrance windows to the two telescopes that allow less than 4% of the total sunlight to enter the instrument, most of it in a narrow wavelength band around the chosen spectral line.

(Note: the 4% figure is just the pre-filtering at the entrance window, before the even sharper filtering done by the etalon.)

So the image you see is just a reconstruction of intensity using the 6 extremely narrow filters (I'm not sure precisely how they do the reconstruction; an analogous NASA instrument called HMI uses the straight average IIRC).

So, the remarks nearby about the black body emission of the Sun, etc., are correct but not relevant to the color used. The red color is just as easily viewed as the traditional coloring used for the scalar intensity represented by this image type, kind of mnemonically related to the fact that the FeI line at 617nm is in the red wavelengths.

In writing journal papers using these images, sometimes people use the longer but techically correct "pseudo-continuum intensity image" rather than the punchier "photogram". This emphasizes that the image shown is a reconstruction of the continuum intensity.

And as you say, the other "images", including magnetic field and velocity, are reconstructed using other algorithms from these 6 wavelengths. For instance, velocity is recovered because the Fe-I absorption line's location shifts with Doppler velocity along line-of-sight.

And magnetic field is recovered due to the Zeeman effect on the line shape.

It's amazing what you can do when you have so many photons!
An interesting tradeoff here is that this is less CPU processing but more content to download. The effect is achieved by imposing a blurred image on top of a non-blurred one. Here is the blurred image used in that demo: https://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/glassy-ripp...

In many cases this can be the right tradeoff to make. There is also a beauty to its simplicity.

How do you even know? Don't those both just generate static html?
Those are not the only options, though. Papyrus is very ancient tech, as are palm leaves and similar. Parchment is more recent, but still predates the runic alphabets by many centuries. Some trees have bark soft enough to write on a sharp stylus - birch was notably used for that purpose. Then you have wax tablets etc.

The problem is that many of these options are expensive in a pre-industrial society. In places where the writing material was cheap and readily available, and where writing was socially beneficial, you see much more "mundane" writing show up - e.g. in the Novgorod merchant republic, birch bark was apparently cheap enough for kids to doodle on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onfim).
Those countries just don't have the motivation to do such a thing. Those who have the motivation had done it despite embargoes.

It uses a different transceiver on the satellite which is broadcasting a ~standard LTE signal, at a miniscule data rate
Definitely. But when Apple released their Satellite SOS feature, I expected that to remain the cutting edge for a while, and for all devices to eventually gain very limited satellite emergency call capabilities. Instead, it seems like we’re going straight from most devices having zero connectivity in the (US) wilderness to all devices having connectivity everywhere in the world, as soon as next year. That’s a lot of change to come all at once.

As far as I understand it, that's not how Tailscale works most of the time. The actual connection is established between the VPN nodes, and actual traffic doesn't travel through Tailscale's servers.

The VPS solution is usually the hub of a star-shaped network, so everything has to go through it, which may be limiting, given that, at least where I live, gigabit fiber is fairly widespread and reasonably priced. Most VPSs I see have less bandwidth than that.

There's headscale which allows setting up tailscale with a private server: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/

No, that’s just satellite backhaul for a cell tower. That’s not hard, but also typically if you can get power to a base station you can run fiber along the same poles the power runs on.

As workers become more productive and earn higher wages in a given area, landowners can charge higher rents since workers must live within commuting distance of their jobs and land in desirable locations is inherently limited. The fixed supply of well-located land means that increased worker earnings create more competition for housing near job centers, allowing landowners to continually raise rents and capture much of the economic gains that would otherwise go to workers. This dynamic is especially pronounced in cities with strict zoning laws or other constraints on housing supply, as workers are forced to bid against each other for access to a relatively fixed stock of housing near employment centers.

Change the tax policy to one with a Georgist bent and this issue should be rectified.
I suspect the primary reason they took this approach is that licensing for these frequencies is astronomical if you want to cover the entire US. That would bleed them dry as they build out the constellation and try to ramp up user count.

Partnering with a national carrier handles the licensing aspect and if the tech pans out the economics could shift to allow them to buy national spectrum and offer direct service.
My thinking is that you can think of Starlink satellites as LTE towers that just happen to be ~350 miles away from your phone. It happens to work because while they are far away, the satellites have a very clear line of sight (directly down) with few (no) obstacles.

The complication is that the base stations will be moving much more rapidly than traditional terrestrial towers.

If you mean about the Ubitium, then no - other than what's in the article.

If you mean more in depth about MAJC, then also no - I read an Ars Technica article around about it (and Itanium) around 25 years ago, when it came out and also the Wikipedia page.

I have no EE or CPU design background, I'd imagine most people would know far more than me. I just remembered the 'generic instruction unit' from MAJC and if this was something superficially similar but at the processor 'core' level.
The following are all based on assumptions I'm making.

> Quick, where would you put a high-level business function that touches multiple models? Where would you put the model-level validation for that?

It's just python: `descriptive_name.py`. `ingest_validation.py` etc. If this seems too terse, it's because your question was posed in a general way. If you have more info on the sort of business logic you have in mind, or the sort of data validation, I'll reply with more.

Could you describe what you have in mind regarding models not tied to the database? If it's the naive interpretation I'm thinking of, use python dataclasses and enums. Django models are specifically to represent database schema.

Reading between the lines, perhaps you are looking for something not covered by a web framework? Django's features are for responding to HTTP requests, managing a relational database, auth, email, admin, templates etc. If you're trying to do something not part of this, use other parts of the Python language. Django is a library; Python is the more fundamental tool used to build applications.
Honestly I wish we could just abolish first and last name fields and replace them with a single free text name field since there's so many edge cases where first and last is an oversimplification that leads to errors. Unfortunately we have to interact with external systems that themselves insist on first and last name fields, and pushing it to the user to decide which is part of what name is wrong less often than string.split, so we're forced to become part of the problem.

If they are good and inexperienced, I don't think they need to be taught that if they don't set priorities, they should not be disappointed when they realise that... no priorities have been set. So they are still good.

If they are bad "because they are inexperienced", then they are still bad. They should not be a manager. They can acquire experience without being a manager though, e.g. by having a manager in the first place.

> I wish academic papers were more like Wikipedia articles.

I don't think that would be helpful. Scientific development happens in branches, not linearly. The fact that a field is going in one direction does not mean that somebody won't make a breakthrough next year based on a poorly-cited paper from the 1970s, leapfrogging a whole bunch of studies that happened in the meantime.

Most of the time, there is simply no "state of the art" that covers a whole field, and even in limited sub-fields, quite often there is no consensus.
spacex? No, the direct to cell sats require much larger antenna to pick up cell signals. The regular Starlink sats aren’t capable of that.
While your overall question is valid, Starlink is simply a division of SpaceX. There's no "relationship" to consider. They are one and the same.
Bluesky Vs ActivityPub
- Prohibitive self-hosting costs: ATProto relays demand significant resources—currently 5TB+ of storage—making self-hosting unaffordable for most. Compare this to lightweight options like Mastodon or GoToSocial, where hosting a small instance is cheap and accessible.

- Centralized control over identity: Bluesky holds user keys custodially, meaning your account is only portable as long as Bluesky allows it. By contrast, ActivityPub lets you fully control your identity and move servers seamlessly.

- No private communication: Bluesky's direct messages are centralized, unencrypted, and routed through its servers. ActivityPub-based platforms support private interactions while keeping your data decentralized.

- Public blocks: On Bluesky, blocks are public records, exposing user interactions and potentially enabling harassment. Mastodon and other ActivityPub platforms respect user privacy with more thoughtful moderation tools.

- Limited federation: While Bluesky is technically federated, its architecture forces relays to store everything, favoring centralization. ActivityPub excels here, enabling a vibrant ecosystem of thousands of independent, lightweight instances.

- Dependency on domains: User handles on Bluesky rely on DNS (e.g., user.bsky.social), which is inherently centralized. ActivityPub’s flexible architecture doesn’t tie identities to domains in the same way, offering more resilience.

- Everything is public: Bluesky's architecture assumes all content is public, limiting privacy-first interactions. Mastodon and similar platforms provide flexible visibility options for posts, from public to followers-only and direct messages.

Reference: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/

Sure, ActivityPub isn’t perfect. But ActivityPub (powering Mastodon, PeerTube, and more) has proven its value by enabling a truly decentralized ecosystem, with lightweight, scalable tools and user-centric design.

Improving upon ActivityPub holds the promise of a better decentralized future—one that doesn’t just mimic the old centralized systems we aim to move away from but builds something fundamentally better.

Could also have a minimum duration (for example 3 years) where you pay even if you go over the original loan amount.

That would mean people that get great paying jobs right out of college would pay more than they even borrowed, but it would be justified because the degree would likely have had a big impact if it was so soon after finishing the degree.
Do you have an approximate time point for that comment?

Brain makes a comment beginning at about the 30 minute point, I'm listening to that now, though it doesn't seem to match your description.

The bit a couple of minutes later (32m) beginning "I have four children now in college..." seems closer.

I have to comment that the song about how bright the future was (by Timbuk3) was absolutely satiric and ironic, though that point is often missed. As is often the case, in music and otherwise (Beastie Boys "Fight for your Right", Bruce Springstein "Born in the USA", Neal Stephenson Snow Crash & the Metaverse, etc., etc.).
> I don't know what the intersection of that with the affordability is, though.

My understanding is that the monthly cost for Starlink varies pretty wildly across the world. Presumably the same would be true for this cell service - idle satellites have the same huge fixed cost and don't generate any revenue.
That's a fair point. I did make some assumptions.
A lot of Toyota hybrids (but I believe not PHEVs) use NiMH batteries, which are longer lasting than the Li-ion batteries used in EVs and can withstand more charge cycles.
