Yes I think it is, and I think the rhetoric around Trump is hyperbole and fearmongering too.

Not that you can't criticize them, I just don't see exaggeration being interesting or helpful there. Also I think caring about certain corruption or conflicts of interest when it happens to politicians one disagrees with is fairly easy to be seen as being divisive or politically motivated even if it's not. I thought that wheeling out the architects of the Iraq war to denounce Trump's corruption/incompetence/bad foreign policy/etc was particularly ironic and sad, for example, even if they might have been technically correct.

Musk isn't going to be immune to federal regulators. I'm sure he'll get the kinds of favors that come with buying politicians as all the rest of them get though.
The owner also get capital appreciation / depreciation of the land - ~5.7 per cent per annum over the last 100 years bring the total return to a 6.7% ROI.

Land at the edge of cities and towns where there is a reasonable chance of development happening costs orders of magnitude more than the average.

The person renting that land then farms it (presumably for a profit) for additional ROI.

Desk against a wall could be handled very easily with a short throw projector but you would need to ceiling mount it upside down. The bottom edge of the projected image would trace back to the projector at a steep angle, your head would therefore not cast a shadow over the image.

These days, sadly, ethical behavior has almost nothing to do with the civil courts. Even in the article at OP, you can see how cases become little more than battles of financial attrition, with tactics (like dumping millions of foreign-language documents) designed to force your opponent to spend huge sums of money in the hopes of forcing a settlement.

>>non-mainstream opinions

It's a society of scientists - why would it admit or tolerate liars? Spreading obviously and easily provable misinformation online isn't "non-mainstream opinion" - it's just lying. Why would that be tolerated?
I respect the author's principle-based approach but many of her arguments seem a little off. If the RS doesn't expel people for their politics, then it doesn't make sense to expel Musk for, essentially, concerns about his politics. And if you expel crotchety scientists for disagreeing with the scientific consensus there won't be any left. The RS motto is literally "Take nobody's word for it"; I don't see how Musk disagreeing with other's opinions could possibly be grounds for removing him.

That being said, Musk does seem like a vaguely inappropriate addition to the Society. His wikipedia page suggests he doesn't have a PhD, doesn't do any research and is involved in military matters for an army foreign to the UK. He's obviously being included because he has lots of money and it isn't clear to me if that is proper or not.

There's a mandate for the government to support the development of the EV industry, and there are targets, but this factory is being built because BYD decided it makes economic sense for them, based on anticipated demand.

The Chinese government is doing many things that increase demand, make it easy to scale up production, etc. For example, many Chinese cities are making it difficult to register new internal-combustion-engine vehicles. I'm also sure the local government has rolled out the red carpet for BYD in terms of permits, tax incentives, and so on.

That's different from the government issuing a command, "Build us the largest EV factory in the world, regardless of economic viability!" That's how the previous comment came across.

A summary on scientists from the World Science Forum 2024:
"The emphasis has been placed on innovation, the rankings have reduced scientists to publication machines, and this brings with it increasing distrust towards researchers."

I think Musk is a perfect fit among modern era scientists and the author has no place there with his outdated views.

It's a valid viewpoint, however membership to the royal society is judged via candidates having made 'a substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge, including mathematics, engineering science and medical science'. I would argue Elon is fully within scope, outside of the fact that I think Elon is not the slightest fit to the general ethos of that specific organization.
Elons statements were obviously not aimed at Faucis role in vaccine discussions, but in his much more dubious role in gain-of-function research and especially covering up the origins of Covid.

While that is relevant to a scientific society, I think it's worth taking a good hard look on whether its wise to take a side on that, other than maybe denounce gain-of-function research.
No they don’t. That’s untrue. The fact that so many replies are speaking as if it’s true is quite telling. Instagram continually pesters me to create a Threads account, but doesn’t just “make one for me”. Threads’ user growth would look very very different if this were true. It’s another app. Instagram won’t even let you expand one of the stupid Threads posts it shows you until you install the app.

Back in the days we implemented HSM helper classes in about 500 LoC and generated them from Enterprise Architect. No need to write a GUI yourself, but better to have a visual for documentation and review. Worked very well until we replaced EA with docs-as-code, now I miss that there is no nice simulator and Modeler for that workflow.
It's very different on location in Europe. Where I live I have realized we are a bit spoiled. I was biking through the (small) forest outside Bonn in Germany. This used to be the capital during the east germany thing. It was impossible to access internet for the GPS game I'm playing (turfgame.com) so I had to turn off GPS and get back to the road to be able to take the zones. This keeps happening the whole time even driving around on smaller roads.

South sweden this almost never happens, here in north Sweden in can happen that you drop down to 2G and can only do SMS but then you really have to go deep into the forests. Up in the mountains you will lose connection completely though. Especially now when they shut down the older networks that has longer reach.

A few of things:

1) Even if cows would only eat the grass that was there (and we would not have converted any forest or other vegetation into grazing lands), the methane and CO2 stays in the atmosphere for a long time before being used by plants again, contributing to the greenhouse effect in that time. The reality is, we can only cover a very small percentage of the demand with this "3 happy cows on a vast pasture" phantasy. Most cow feed is planted additionally, often in countries like Brazil, and then fed to the cows.

2) The carbon impact is not the only negative impact of the scale of livestock agriculture we run these days. As it says in the article, another big impact is eutrophication of water bodies.

3) Just basic physics: Livestock agriculture, especially beef, is a very inefficient way of producing protein and calories. Have a look at this data: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-per-protein-poore

So, please don't come at me with your cute comments. The reality is that we have too much livestock agriculture. It's not sustainable to feed 8 billion people like this. The scientific consesus is clear on this.
Automating Code Reviews Using Large Language Models
Stumbled on this piece while searching for Code Review on Google.

> Microsoft Research and LinkedIn researchers have open-sourced CodeReviewer, a pre-trained transformer model that can automatically assess code changes, generate review comments, and suggest fixes. Trained on 7.9M pull requests across 9 programming languages, it achieves a 71.5% F1 score in identifying problematic code changes and can generate relevant review comments with 3.6/5.0 informativeness rating from human evaluators.

> Unlike existing code models, CodeReviewer is specifically trained on code diffs and real-world review comments from high-quality GitHub repositories. The model outperforms previous approaches by learning to "think" like a code reviewer rather than just understanding source code.

Technical details and model available at: https://github.com/microsoft/CodeBERT/tree/master/CodeReview...

Surprisingly there are fewer cows than people, but there's still a billion cows, and a billion of anything adds up quickly.

That's not to say that the other things aren't important as well. Gas flaring from refineries is a pure waste that should be drastically curtailed.

It seems to me the STEPS project is vaporware there is no code. It would be interesting to see basic code for how to handle small custom GUI changes in widgets that have been the same for 40 years e.g. calendar picker and file chooser.

(IANAL, but the "he" pronoun is almost certainly the old-fashioned grammar rule of defaulting to male when the gender is unknown.)

Noteworthy - that 1907 law was virtually never enforced. One wonders what motivated the "justice" system to target the 13 people who were charged (with only 5 convicted).
Yes, this came up in the recently closed inheritance tax loophole; people were buying "family farms" purely to leave to their children while doing the minimum of farming.

I know who Elon Musk is and his contributions. My apologies, but I have never heard of the author and their contribution, and why should I fucking care what they (and 80 of their politically like-minded friends) think out of a thousand other members?

All ground station as a service are limited by radio licensing, you need to apply for transmit license to the country that the groundstation is located to legally transmit to your cubesat. Its not as easy as spinning up an EC2 instance

For those who forgot, Musk joined Trump v1.0's advisory council in December 2016 [a], and resigned from it in June 2017 [b]. All of this played out once before.

By default they just work like a 1080p display. It’s okay, but bounces with head movement, etc.

They work fairly well on Mac with their Nebula software, where you can have an extended display and control the distance if the screen and it accounts for head movements. The same software is not so great on PC, unfortunately.

On Linux, Wayne Heaney created Breezy Desktop, which is almost as good as Nebula, except for some stuff around the edges during movement[0]. He’s also created a very nice driver for the Steam Deck.

With a little bit of work you can also do 3D games and movies with them. Not quite easy enough for an elementary school kid, but not much worse.

What I’ve found is that I don’t use them around the house, but do while traveling. Not sure if that justifies the price. I’ve also got both versions of the Beam. Overall, I’d say it’s a push. When I’m traveling, I’m glad I have them. When I’m not traveling, I wonder why I have them.

> If the RS doesn't expel people for their politics, then it doesn't make sense to expel Musk for, essentially, concerns about his politics.

But the article does not talk about Musk's political opinion per se. The concerns would have been totally the same if Musk was acting the same way but involving himself with a different political ideology.

The concerns seem to be: 1) Musk is aggressive towards his fellow scientists, 2) Musk is supporting and spreading anti-science things, 3) Musk is pushing for anti-science practices in his own scientifically linked activities (such as not following the steps that guarantee good science in clinical trials).

The article mentions that Musk is getting more political. However, the message is not "being political is the reason why he should be excluded", the message is "while it is possible to be political and continue to adhere to the scientific practice, what we see is that Musk gets more and more anti-science because he gets more and more political".
Yet despite these problems, the F-35 remains the most commercially successful airframe in the world, with over 670 sold, and 2,500 on order from US-allied countries all over the world. What could explain this sales pipeline, if the F-35 was the boondoggle this article implies it to be?
There are many doctors who express problems with the C19 vaccines. In some countries (most notably Japan) there are public hearings and parliament questions. In the west it seems this is not allowed.

Fauci was close with the EcoHealth Alliance. He tried to hide gain of function research. There are a lot of criticism to this NGO, "including a joint letter signed by 77 Nobel laureates and 31 scientific societies." (Wikipedia).

To the public Fauci straight up lied by promoting the vaccine as safe and effective, while he did not have the evidence to support that (and most likely did know that pregnant women in the trail had a lot of "spontaneous abortions", but recommended it for pregnant women anyway).

While I'd be the last person to defend Elon (he prevented unionization in Tesla, which he so get jail time for imho), I do think that it's time to prosecute Fauci. He seems to have been complicity in the AZT debacle.

Sticking it in a pronoun joke is something we should not cry over, it's just a joke.
