If that's the goal, firing the administrative staff will have exactly the opposite effect. Administrative staff and managers free researchers to do research. If administrative staff and managers are fired, researchers will be administrating and managing instead of researching.

Getting rid of administrators doesn't obviate the need to administrate. It has to be done, so we do it efficiently using shared resources, which brings economies of scale -- that efficiency Musk keeps talking about. What you're arguing for is increasing waste so everyone has less time to do critical work.

Here's an analogy:

To support the roof of a house, you need a few support beams. To support the roof of a skyscraper, you need many more support beams. You can't support the roof of a skyscraper with the number of support beams that support the roof of a house.

University research started as a house, but now it's a sky scraper. You're coming into the skyscraper saying there's too many beams, but you're judging by house standards. Maybe there are, but most of them were put there for good, well-considered reasons; as a layman you have no idea which are load bearing, so if you come knocking them down you endanger the whole tower. Which is a shame because it's gotten really really tall - taller than any other tower in history - so toppling it because you don't understand it would be a huge loss for everyone.
Besides, depending on your location, touching a tree might also be more hygienic than touching grass (e.g. if you happen to be in an area used for dog-walking).

Good idea. Incarcerate violent homeless fighting in the parking lot. We can’t have school around that.

Note that the presence of vagrants and other violent criminals is orthogonal to schools or children having access to firearms.

Any reasonable person will agree that violence on school property after school hours without student involvement is different than violence between students.

The only reason you want to say they are the same is you want to borrow that public sentiment against the horror of school shootings like Columbine.

You and I both know that if the public was explained the details of each event classified as a “school shooting” they would not have the same reaction.

One open source founder who had complete control over the projects foundation appears to have used access to foundation resources against a commercial competitor- the case is currently in court, but the drama has already had a substantial negative impact on that community.

Some years ago, another open source founder who had great influence over the projects nonprofit removed a long time contributor from the project over commercial perception concerns, not due to a violation of the projects code of conduct- then repeatedly lied about the reason to the community (editing their own posts multiple times to try to cover it up), causing substantial harm to the project and community.

People aren't perfect, they will make mistakes, even without commercial interests. But the foundation, seeking to support all interests equally, can build confidence and security by spreading authority across interests (the Matrix Governing Board is a great step in that direction, but legally it seems like its role is advisory and subordinate to the Guardians, as it is not part of the governing documents of the organization).

I always felt like Adobe‘s big problem was they were fixated on trying to adapt any web technology to work for print designers, that any design should fit in a certain window size or resolution. This worked ok until mobile devices hit a certain tipping point and the idea of responsive design became king. They didn’t know how to handle that, and the tools fell way behind.

I'm told that the French don't have to put up with this crap because they are much more willing to go on strike, even after securing a cushy, high-paying job. I think it must be a herd immunity thing; ever since being unceremoniously fired from my first real job in my 20s, my attitude has been that I will be a conscientious worker to the utmost, up until the point that my employer deigns to screw me. At that point, my attitude becomes, "Fire me."

Mostly, they do not.

The times they did, their hard-nosed facade softened considerably when they realized that I was willing not only to drop everything immediately and leave them high-and-dry, but also to come after them for anything they might owe me. If more were willing to say no to being exploited, it probably wouldn't even get that far. People can make due, but you don't have a company if you don't have your employees. Messing with the "disposable" ones should immediately get even the most secure on the picket line, but it doesn't seem to (unless you're an actor or writer).

> Ye olde Rutherford experiment nicely illustrates the points of 'yes it is all empty space'

No, it does not. It illustrates that the portion of an atom that strongly scatters alpha particles occupies a small fraction of the atom's volume. Asserting that alpha particle scattering is the only correct definition of the threshold between emptiness and non-emptiness is an awfully strange position to take.

When interacting with other electrons at energy scales relevant to human life, i.e. maybe ten electron volts and down, an electron cloud is somewhere between solid (core electrons especially in heavy atoms) and squishy (valence electrons). Give a rock the ol' "I refute it thus!" and your toes will report that that rock's electrons are quite competently occupying their space.

Ask an alpha particle at nuclear energy scales a million times greater, and that electron cloud is like a swarm of gnats to a speeding car. The electrons only interact with the alpha electromagnetically, and it takes another object that interacts through the strong nuclear force to really bother a nucleus (most of the time).

Ask a neutrino, and it will tell you that all the nuclei in the Sun are but a wisp of fog.

This is a good example of how approximations valid in one regime fail in another but are
not therefore useless. Rutherford's experiment reveals that there is more going on with matter than what can be probed by fingers and microscopes and chemical reactions, but it in no way invalidates those other observations.
This isn’t about me; let’s not make this personal.

The question was, “why shouldn’t doctors be required to treat patients?” It wasn’t,
“should doctors treat some patients regardless of ability to pay?” There’s a big difference between these. The first is about compelled behavior; the second is about voluntary behavior.

There’s an analogy in the legal world in the U.S.: while lawyers aren’t required to take cases for free, there’s a time-honored tradition of reserving some time to take some cases for free (aka pro bono).

The case "God should get a promotion" if I understand correctly, is soundness (as in Rust) issue, with equivalent in C: `int increment(int x) { x + 1; }` - sound, not valid.

The case with legal documents is equivalent in C sequence points for comma operator with something like `print(i++, i++)`. Imagine Boeing documentation with text "In case of blinking indicator press button A and stop immediately". Button "A and stop"? Button "stop" after button A? Authors can hope that a sane human can resolve this ambiguity, but if it is done by compiler/interpreter/robot, it can have an avalanche effect.

Except in extremely exceptional circumstances, it is not useful to try to reason about the behavior of electrons when looking at electricity. Treat it as electrical fields and you'll be fine. The fields represent reality at the non-quantum scale much better than attempts to model non-quantum reality.

As a notable example, macroscopically electricity is totally symmetric - positive current flows the same as negative current does. There are components that exhibit asymmetric behavior but they can be arbitrarily oriented so it doesn't really matter.
Thanks for the explanation.

But I've seen that quote before (I think from you, even). I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now.

There is nothing about the existence of C that prevents people from doing research on the kind of problem that Fran Allen is talking about. Nothing! Those other languages still exist. The ideas still exist. The people who care about that kind of problem still exist. Go do your research; nobody's stopping you.

What actually happened is that the people who wanted to do the research (and/or pay for the research) dried up. C won hearts and minds; Fran Allen (and you) are lamenting that the side you preferred lost.

It's worth asking why, even if Ada or Algol or whatever were extra cost, why weren't they worth the extra cost? Why didn't everybody buy them and use them anyway, if they were that much better?

The fact is that people didn't think they were enough better to be worth it. Why not? People no longer thought that these automatic optimization research avenues were worth pursuing. Why not? Universities were teaching C, and C was free to them. But universities have enough money to pay for the other languages. But they didn't. Why not?

The answer can't be just that C was free and the other stuff cost. C won too thoroughly for that - especially if you claim that the other languages were better.
Well, those Indians living in the US will have families of their own, and over time become part of the community you claim to be a part of. Very much like your ancestors did, except they likely didn't face the arbitrary constraints on immigration that Indians (and any other nationality) face today.

I wonder where this will lead to.
The EU support was for the move from coal to gas.

The EU had requirements on that in order for it to qualify as "green" that the Germans wanted tweaked to be more lenient.

But the underlying goal is fine. Gas is better than coal in many ways. Supply from Russia and knowledge of what has happened since then complicates matters but in general I think support for replacing old coal with new gas is a good thing if you have access to both, it's been a big part of America's progress.

Hydrogen is a big topic, a lot of which is BS but at the core there's a place for it as an industrial input which is relevant for Germany. And if you have that in place then also using it as a backup which you ideally don't need to use is a cheap way of hitting those last few percent of reliability.

I can find plenty of things to criticise Germany over, but most of the criticism I see is frankly nonsense.
> can you make it detect the device somehow, maybe with some additional permissions, instead of user selecting from a dropdown?

Detecting CPU and GPU specs browser-side is almost impossible to do reliably (even if relying on advanced fingerprinting and certain heuristics).

For GPU’s, it may be possible to use (1) WebGL’s `WEBGL_debug_renderer_info` extension [0][0] or (2) WebGPU’s `GPUAdapter#info` [1][1], but I wouldn’t trust either of those API’s for general usage.

Yes, many languages use `_` as a placeholder name, and at least in Rust any name starting with `_` is considered intentionally unused.

for cpu bound tasks? sure. but we are talking in the context of networking. elixir is going to absolutely smoke go for applications requiring a lot of simultaneous connections. We can already see it in actionable vs phoenix channels. channels supports a magnitude order more simultaneous websocket connections per machine.

ps: libraries like rustler exist. you can take the cpu intensive stuff and offload it to a module written in rust when you really need to squeeze some perf out.

Maybe. But I doubt many people are aware of such functions, so it's still a fun challenge.
This is similar to why increasing the batch size during LLM training results in better performance: you force the optimizer to generalize to a larger set.

"Four years ago, a few months after President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration, Apple announced an “acceleration” of its U.S. investments, pledging to spend $430 billion and add 20,000 jobs over five years. In January 2018, during Mr. Trump’s first term, the company said that its “direct contribution to the U.S. economy” would be $350 billion over five years and that it planned to create 20,000 jobs over that period.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

Is this just lip service? What happened to those previous investments?

Is this a joke that I'm not getting? "Planned economy" and "command economy" are synonyms.
The difference is that a human will tell you things like "I think", "I'm pretty sure" or "I don't know" in order to manage expectations. The LLM will very matter-of-factly tell you something that's not right at all, and if you correct them the LLM will go and very confidently rattle off another answer based on what you just said, whether your were telling it the truth or not. If a human acted that way more than a few times we'd stop asking them questions or at least have to do a lot of "trust but verify." LLMs do this over and over again and we just kind of shrug our shoulders and go "well they do pretty good overall."

> they have to spent a lot on students

This is a good thing. It's expensive to support a Ph.D. student in America; it's a lot cheaper if you're in a country with lower cost of living. But as a researcher, you want to do research in an expensive area because it means you'll be around other smart people and lots of resources.

At the end of the day tho, despite all its flaws, this system is a winner; US produces the most research, is home to the best universities, and students from around the world dream of studying in America. We can make improvements, but the need for a rewrite of the system is greatly overstated. Other countries wish they had our problems.
That’s a cute pithy statement, but it’s not particularly relevant.

For example, Hetzner doesn’t even offer database services. Some would consider those to be table stakes to run their application. Does it add complexity? Potentially. But we accept some additional complexity if it yields incremental value.

If you don’t value the additional functionality cloud providers offer, that’s fine. But lots of people do.

Certainly, unnecessary complexity should be avoided. But it’s a bit naive to associate comprehensiveness with complexity. They’re not entirely identical.

Someone close to me did ECT for half a year after ketamine (in a clinical setting) became less effective.

The memory loss was worse than they were led to believe: near-dementia levels of short-term memory loss during treatment, and still now a year of missing memories from around the time of treatment.

The treatment itself left them without time or energy to do anything whatsoever on the days of treatment, and still weakened on the days off treatment.

And, it did seemingly nothing to address their depression.

So, YMMV.
