>Why should somebody researching e.g. fusion for the Department of Energy also need to create a Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) plan, to even apply?

Why?

Because a homogenous culture of researchers is less effective.

Because you are not just doing research on a topic, you are also training the next generation of scientists and field experts.

And the implication that the old boys club of white dudes is intrinsically the best "meritocratic" outcome is ridiculous. The history of science is full of people who had to fight that norm and succeed despite it.

> This should greatly reduce the overall bureaucratic nonsense in science and help get back to science simply being science without imposing ideological conformity tests.

Sure, sure. Except for the part where they're also censoring any science topics deemed "woke", where all funding now has to meet the president's ideological conformity test on subject and staff as well.

Thanks for asking. I have a 4 years old and it's difficult to pick books that he reads. It's either too many pictures that he simply gets without reading, or too few pictures that he loses interest quickly. He is also obsessed with mini destruction (e.g. in the story someone breaks something).

Now that we live in Quebec without knowing much French, which adds another layer of complexity: should I read French books with my half ass French, or just give up and go for English ones?
yeah that's literally the point. you're listing something that you think is a disadvantage and some people think exactly the opposite.

I disagree with this, but it's a reasonable argument. The problem is that the Ollama team has basically ignored the PR, instead of engaging the community. The least they can do is to explain their reasoning.

This PR is #1 on their repo based on multiple metrics (comments, iterations, what have you)

Yes, 42 U.S.C. 1861, et seq is the legal basis for the NSF. What’s the Constitutional basis for that law? The Congress only has the powers granted in Article I and further amendments. For example, the Congress does not have the power to regulate rents outside of federal territories. Which enumerated power enables 42 U.S.C 1861?

The Tenth Amendment clearly states, ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’ If the Constitution does not grant a power to the Congress, it does not have it and it has no more legislative authority in that regard than you or I do.

More than 99.999% of all printed pages don't have the name of the person who printed them on them. I can't even come up with examples where the large majority of the material someone printed wasn't belonging to someone else, ie, printing a book, learning material, computer generated pictures, photographs, things like this.

"Printing a letter" is something I doubt anyone is doing in any meaningful percentage that this makes sense. A person printing a single small book they didn't want to buy is printing more pages just that one time than they will ever print with their name on them in their whole life.

> systemd wars are over

Well yes but actually no.

With every new Ubuntu version I have to carve out new metastasis no one asked for. For example, 24.04 (or maybe even 23.10) changed the way sshd is started up - by systemd listener instead of sshd on its own like it was for decades. This way they saved a few megabytes of RAM (solely on computers that are not exposed to the internet, of course).

While fighting against systemd-as-PID1 is futile for many years, fighting against the spread is definitely worth it.
> Instead they are simply stripping ideological requirements, period.

It does not sound like that. At least, not at the NSF, which is freezing funds until it's had an ideologically-driven purge.

The Office of Science seems to have a better approach, removing the need for the previous administration's PIER plan and ignoring any already submitted

I have a history experimenting with 3D audio - about 15 years ago I build myself a pair of ambisonic microphones, but until only recently I think the software support for ambisonic capture and mixing has been seriously lacking. Back when I built the mics I started working on a plugin suite for the processing, but I could never get it quite right. Nowadays, there are more 3rd party options I can use, and I will spend some time with this again :)
Llama.cpp dropped support for multimodal vlms. That is why I am using ollama. I would happily switch back if I could.
This is fascinating. I’ve been using ollama with no knowledge of this because it just works without a ton of knobs I don’t feel like spending the time to mess with.

As usual, the real work seems to be appropriated by people who do the last little bit — put an acceptable user experience and some polish on it — and they take all the money and credit.

It’s shitty but it also happens because the vast majority of devs, especially in the FOSS world, do not understand or appreciate user experience. It is bar none the most important thing in the success of most things in computing.

My rule is: every step a user has to do to install or set up something halves adoption. So if 100 people enter and there are two steps, 25 complete the process.

For a long time Apple was the most valuable corporation on Earth on the basis of user experience alone. Apple doesn’t invent much. They polish it, and that’s where like 99% of the value is as far as the market is concerned.

The reason is that computers are very confusing and hard to use. Computer people, which most of us are, don’t see that because it’s second nature to us. But even for computer people you get to the point where you’re busy and don’t have time to nerd out on every single thing you use, so it even matters to computer people in the end.
Gamedev is discussed here but honestly not very often if you enjoy it more then the more popular HN topics.
No, Bitcoin was designed to have a finite supply of approximately 21 million coins, after which the mined Bitcoin would be all there ever is in circulation*.

This makes it a deflationary currency: your holdings should** become worth more over time due to the limited supply: as more people enter the market there are few coins to buy due to more people holding them and due to those that are inaccessible due to lost keys.

So, in the early days, the people running Bitcoin miners originally earnt money both on the fees on the few transactions but also on minting new coins. The algorithm was designed such that "miners" would transition to earning revenue entirely on transaction fees once all the Bitcoin had been mined, by which point the economy should be up and running. In both cases this encourages them to actually run the proof-of-work nodes that provide the distributed ledger.

* assuming there is no successful change to the algorithm, which would require concensus by those running the nodes.

** this assumes people want to buy it – that a better investment vehicle has not materialised – and that Bitcoin has not been outlawed or had cripling taxes applied to it.

append returns a new pointer in case the slice moved, map assignment does not return a new pointer. There’s no way for the operator to change the reference you hold from a nil to a pointer to the newly allocated value. When memory is allocated under the hood on assignment to a non-nil map, your reference to the object remains the same, but some internal pointers change.

You can write a func Set[k, v](map map[k]v, k k, v v) map[k]v yourself that returns a map reference if you want this style of “maybe return a new pointer”.
> Sure you can say that crypto is only bubble, but that doesn't really add any information. The bubble can't be "inflating" since there's no ratio to a non-bubble version.

The core point is that there is (essentially^[1]) nothing keeping the price up besides speculator interest. That means the price can collapse catastrophically. Saying crypto is a bubble is useful because it has the defining traits and dangers of a bubble.

[1]: The big exception here is that a lot of the price is also kept afloat by the absolutely ridiculous amount of financial fraud in this ecosystem. Most of the "dollars" chasing Bitcoin are fake, and it's still unclear how insolvent the big stablecoins are.

The little exception is that there is a minimum floor; Cryptocurrencies have some utility as a payment system, which would give them some value. But the market rate for consumer payments is effectively if not literally zero, well below the amounts required to operate the mining/staking systems these currencies require.

> And they elected their leader to the white house.

I really don't think this is the correct way to view the 2024 elections. Incumbents did a bad job globally of addressing their constituents concerns (sure US has less inflation; that's like losing less limbs, still undesirable amount) and so lost to non-incumbents. It's not that non-incumbent had any great ideas for people to rally behind; it's that the incumbent had a proven poor record.

Resolved is useful if you frequently change networks (e.g. a laptop), particularly if you’re also using an overlay such as Tailscale. Unfortunately, like anything related to systemd it is flakey and buggy and the solution to most things is to restart it.

I started using Linux because I liked stability. Systemd makes a Linux system as dynamic as a Windows one (which is nice) at the price of making it as stable as a Windows one (which is not).

I believe that part of the problem is that it is written in C, which is an absolutely terrible language for reasoning in. Writing it in Lisp would have been smart. Writing it in Go nowadays would probably be okay. But C is just an unmitigated disaster.

Also, bringing INI to Linux is unforgivable.
Crypto has one big fat fundamental: no bonds have been emitted in the good name of the US of A to reimburse debt in crypto. This is in opposition to some other currencies floating around the system. Stealth hyperinflation is one big superpower.
You can read about PIER plan requirements here. [1] Archive since the page is already dead. Things are moving ridiculously fast for government to the point I suspect there was alot of desire to get rid of all this stuff before, but people were unable to do so.

Anyhow it had nothing to do with the merit of the project or the team which were obviously already being evaluated. It was nothing but an unrelated ideological conformity test added as a requirement.

Look at Albania for why this is bad:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_schemes_in_Albania

Crypto is different from things like housing (where the "bubble" is merely artificially restricted supply driving the price up, so it's a real price increase) or the stock market (Where the fundamentals are real enough that a crash in e.g. AI-stocks will hurt, but not be systemically-destructive. Nvidia, microsoft, etc are all still going to exist as very profitable companies)
Ok I was looking at the repo from mobile and missed the releases.

Still it's not immediate obvious from README that there is an option to download it. There are instructions on how to build it, but not how to download it. Or maybe I'm blind, please correct me.
The problem with this idea is that "woke" is a moving target that its enemies are defining. Will they change the definition to include things you don't want? Moreover, does it currently actually have the goal to make meritocracy? For example, they've allowed discrimination based on race in government hiring, for example, so that does not bode well for the idea of being judged on merit alone. Explicitly, they are now allowed to judge on race where they were not before. Read through project 2025 - is that what you actually want, because that's what he's gonna implement.

It's (deliberately) a very soft paywall. The LRB offers a certain number of articles for free then hope to attract subscribers, but it's only really a semi-commercial proposition. The whole thing has been subsidised by the editor for decades; my suspicion is that they're much more interested in being read than being paid.

FWIW I'm a subscriber at least in the main because I want it to exist. Most months I don't read more than I'd get for free anyway. But it's gloriously chewy content of a kind that you can't quite find anywhere else.
> Instead they are simply stripping ideological requirements, period

This is not true. If I submit a project to study the large-scale effect of DEI policies in institutions, that will get rejected because "anti-DEI" is in the current government's idelogy, as written down in presidential orders.

They are not simply removing the previous ideology and leaving a void in place. There are no voids in power structures.
Gold is not meant for investment; it is meant for storing value. The key factor that distinguishes gold from Bitcoin is that it is used and reserved by sovereign nations. The only path through which Bitcoin could replace gold is if sovereign nations use and reserve it.

When you buy gold, you are exchanging currency; when you buy Bitcoin, you are buying merchandise. It’s no different from buying limited-edition gorilla images.

Nothing makes my life easier than pulling my hair on why tf sshd listens to port 22 after editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarting multiple times. Oh, of course, it's now systemd that listens to port 22, not sshd.

Nothing makes my life easier than cleaning out crontabs of things that wake my box in the night and find out that something still gets launched. Oh yes, systemd now has timers no one asked for.

Nothing makes my life easier than disabling a service then masking a service then masking it's sockets, then blanking files then chattr +x those files and end up having broken ubuntu instance because there are so many ways to launch a service it's not even funny at this point.

Nothing makes my life easier than finding out multi gigabytes /var/log/journald folder that has exactly zero reasons to exist because text-based logs are still collected and properly rotated in a place where any sane person would expect them to be.

We can think of a solution space, with potentially many good solutions to the vision problem, and we can, in science fiction-like speculation, that the other solutions will be very different and surprise us.

Then this experiment shows its solution is the same we already knew, and that's it.

Then there aren't many good potential solutions, there is only one, and the ocean of possibilities becomes the pond of this solution.

The worst. Unlimited source of problems.
