Not the NSF. Provisions in NSF's organic statute to create programs that "expand STEM opportunities" were introduced by the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act, and were retained through the CHIPS Act.

No. The NSF review process does not use numeric ratings. Panels of peer reviewers get a tranche of proposals, provide comments individually, and then collectively sort them into competitiveness categories. There is no "DEI score" or "DEI component".

I appreciate the details, I am not familiar with this at all. This is pretty shitty considering that as a contractor you would need to work ~3.5 months to earn 50k for much much less work and stress.

That makes me wonder what is the profile of a startup founder who agrees to an infinitely larger amount of complexity and stress for ~4x less income? The ones that got lucky so they don't care or don't have much loose or what. Crazy.

The color of a lake in satellite view depends on the satellite's viewing angle (which depends on the satellite's trajectory and the lake's location), the angle of the sun (which depends on the same things plus the time and date the image was taken), the weather, the satellite's sensors (false color is a thing), and how the images are processed before publishing. Overall I think it's almost impossible to estimate the "true" color of a lake from public satellite images, even if you used all pixels instead of just one.
"A study using a complex mathematical technique claiming to cleanly isolate the effect of X and Y. I can't really follow what it's doing..."

This is a frustrating type of issue. Dismissing something with "I don't understand this, but I don't believe it" isn't the sort of thing I want to be doing. However, I don't have any desire to waste time trying to understand what someone has done (and did they really understand what they were doing themselves?) when it's clear that the effect isn't cleanly isolated in the data and no amount of mathematics is going to change that.
Yeah, it's a continuum: from an explicit "outside contributions not welcome" to "we'll accept more or less any contribution with little review" (zeromq, under the current maintainer, I know is an example of the latter when orginally it was much more the former). Most projects are somewhere in between (linux I'd say is relatively hostile to new contributions), and the extremes are rarer.

At this point, any non-US company should realise that whatever they put in cleartext on a US service (Teams, GMail, AWS, ...) can be accessed by the crazy people who are now running the country.

Make no mistake: it was already the case before, and we knew it (remember Snowden?). I'm just saying that maybe now is time to accept it, now that the US keep repeating that the US and the EU are not exactly friends anymore. Rather partners, for now.

That’s the point of using AI in the first place. If your product is just a polished interface on top of a prompt, then your moat isn’t that strong, and chances are your product will be commoditized soon.

By building a good UX and integrating it with other processes that require traditional collaboration, you increase the chances that replicating your secret sauce is either infeasible or too difficult for newcomers to bother.

I don’t see why Google Translate wrapping all text in <font> elements is reasonable. Why is an extra element required, and why is it <font> of all things? Translate is swapping text for text, so this shouldn’t be necessary. It also breaks a lot more than just JavaScript frameworks. Things like the child combinator in CSS selectors will break too.
There really doesn't need to be a phrase to describe every case of 'doing nothing' in some aspect. In this case, it's 'not compartmentalizing feature development'.

I am a Hongkonger, natively speaks Cantonese, fluent in English and learning Japanese.

If I go to Google I want English UI and prioritise traditional Chinese result then English then simplified Chinese.

On the other hand if I go to a Japanese website, I don’t want them to translate for me, just display the original Japanese will be fine. Unless I toggle.

These kind of complex setup can never be achieved if we don’t have a per site locale policy. And seriously. A toggle per site is easier than navigate three level deep into browser setting page.

It really depends on what you're using the code for. AI generated code is great for quick and dirty stuff you're going to throw away.

For example yesterday I wanted to read a small csv and dump the contents of the second column of each row into a separate text file. I took a quick glance at the AI generated python code and just ran it.

Saved me maybe 10 minutes of typing the code myself. Small and trivial win for AI, but it's still useful.

I do agree for production code it might turn out to be a net negative since AI is pretty good at producing code that looks fine but has subtle problems.
This looks promising, not sure how it stacks up to Transkribus which seems to be the leader in the space since it has support for handwritten and trainable ML for your dataset.

> War started in 2021, we are now in 2025, that's 4 years, estimated size of Russian army is ~1 500 000, which means they should have a minus 100 000 soldiers, that does not add up.

The war started in February 2022, not 2021. I do not recall saying that Russia has seen 400 000+ casualties for each of the three years. Quite the opposite: in the initial weeks of the invasion Russia made large gains with relatively tiny losses, estimated at low thousand a month. That progress has stalled and casualty rate has now grown tenfold to 48 670 dead and wounded for December 2024 (worst month of the entire invasion). January 2025 is narrowly behind with 48 240. The running total is estimated 850k+. The first year contributed 85k. The second year 300k. The third year 400k. Even if the pace of losses stops growing and remains where it currently is, Russia will lose another 12x48=576k this year.

One of my biggest gripes with python is the fact that the only way to create a local scope for variables is with functions.

I understand if statements not having their own scope for simplicity's sake, but the fact that `with` blocks don't is simply mind-bobbling to me.

with open("text.txt", 'w') as f:
f.write("hello world")
f.write("hello world") # at least the handle was automatically closed so it will give an IO error

I have the same reaction to node and npm. I just don’t use it. Plenty of other tools I can make a living with. I ignore so-called AI too. I tried Copilot and ChatGPT, not a big time savings for me. If I have to carefully audit and debug code I’d rather mentor a junior human programmer than a corporate parasite LLM.

This is exactly what’s going on in many situations. For any proposed study, you can ask the question “Is there a possible outcome of this study that would have a strong emotional effect on someone?” If the answer is “yes”, then I’d say it’s more likely than not that the study’s results are already compromised in some subtle way.

Really? This surprises me because I use open-AI pro for $200 per month and I still fall back to using my Gemini $20 per month account a lot these days, I like the new 2.0 experimental speed and how it defaults to diving into producing usable code, immediately. Whereas, my open ai pro mode will spend a few minutes to give me an initial answer that beats around the bush at a much higher level to start. So, my workflow has evolved to using Gemini to iterate my initial thinking and frame out requirements and first draft code. Then, when I get about 2,000 - 3,000 lines for a detailed initial pro mode prompt, I send that to open ai pro mode and then it shines. But, I really like starting with the Gemini 2.0 model first. The main thing I dislike about Gemini is I often need to tell it “please continue” when it reaches its output limit. But it nearly always just picks up right where it left off and continues its output. This is critical in using Gemini.

The GraphHopper Matrix API has an (IMO) attractive pricing especially for large matrices. The pricing is credit based and for large matrices we do not charge for every matrix cell but instead we only charge "locations*10". E.g. for a 200x200 matrix we only charge 2000 and not 40 000 credits as our underlying algorithm is very efficient (scales nearly linear). And let's say you need this calculation 25 times a day (using the premium package) then this leads to $0.016 for 1000 matrix elements. Of course even cheaper for larger matrices.

And larger packages will furthermore include a volume discount.

I've been using Zed (with python) for the last few weeks (coming from vscode and nevim). There's a lot I like about Zed. My favorites include the speed and navigation via the symbol outline (and vim mode). I'd have a hard time going back to vscode. The LSP configuration, though, is not one of its best parts, for me. I ended up copy/pasting a few different ruff + pyright configs until one mostly worked and puzzled through how to map the settings from linked pyright docs into Zed yaml. Some better documentation for the configuration stanzas and how they map across the different tool's settings would be really helpful.

I still, for example, can't get Zed / LSP to provide auto-fix suggestions for missing imports. (Which seems like a common stumbling block: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/13522, https://github.com/zed-extensions/java/issues/20, https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/13281)

I'm sure given the breadth of LSPs, that they all have their own config, and use different project config files, makes it hard to document clearly. But it's an area that I hope bubbles up the roadmap in due course.
This isn't what hearsay means.
Thanks for pointing that out. I just fixed the single line comments. It should work as expected now.
Elon didn't give the order to do that, but it's likely convenient to Trump if people think he did (but that only works for so long). The criticism doesn't affect Elon, who isn't planning on staying in that role for long anyway. And it takes some heat off of Trump. He looks to have figured out to stay a step or two ahead of the opposition during this term and is probably going to see less resistance than what he has adapted to over the last 8 years.

The funding freezes happened before they restricted his access, so I'm sticking with my original comment.

Regardless, Elon's approval rating is climbing quickly, so we'll see how it plays out.

Personally, I'm not a fanboy of either of them, especially after Elon was proven to be a fake gamer. But then I remembered that was a petty thing to complain about now, as there's little hope of anyone else reversing inflation and national debt. Which over the last few years hit us so badly, I'd have to say it was one of the most painful national tragedies in the way it personally affected me during my lifetime, ranking up there with the Iraq War.

Wonder if my opinion had been different about this if I was personally doing OK the whole time. Likely yes, as I wasn't that bothered when it was only happening to the working class, before the money problems had hit me.

I even tried working harder than I ever had, at my last job,
and minimizing my cost of living, and it wasn't enough. Some people find it hard to stay composed because of the sustained political drama, wars, and various failures being too much to bear. Not everyone feels these problems the same way. Not everyone connects the dots.

The incumbents had plenty of opportunities to slow the national debt growth, but did not. Much of the public have similar stories to mine, are likewise not MAGA by any stretch of imagination, but have long grown tired of the petty complaining and the defenders of obvious failed policies. There's going to be little sympathy for the people who think that losing some of these foreign aid programs is what keeps them up at night, when most of us have endured a lot of personal hardships because of these poor policies.

It's time to remember that we're supposed to be on the same side. It's time to accept that there are going to be policies that you disagree with, especially when they don't affect you personally to nearly the degree that these hardships have affected us. Of course, none of these points will make much sense if you're not American to begin with.

If things had not been allowed to reach this point by both parties, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

And this is why it's not revenge, but justice.
That's part of the dream. Member states getting their shit together and push for mutual progress. This would of course fuel the nationalist opposition and cause it to crash, but one can always dream.

It was literally launched February 5th, ~10 days ago. I'm no researcher, and I know "academia moves slow" is of course true too, but I don't think we can expect research papers to include things that were launched probably after they finished the reviews of said paper.

Maybe papers aren't the right approach here at all, but I don't feel like it's a fair complaint they don't include models released less than 2 weeks ago.
