TA salaries come out of the university overhead on grants.
It doesn't make sense if you are not rich.

Completing a PhD typically takes 5-7 years in the US. In my public university, the nominal tuition for that time would be $100-150k for in-state students and $180-250k for others. Then add living costs on top of that. A PhD increases expected lifetime earnings over bachelor's, but not in all fields and definitely not enough to justify such spending.

> Even if you ignore the potential implications to your health, realising that dozens of homeless drug addicts touch that very same door handle every day justifies a small detour to find a better door, or at the very least using your sleeve to avoid direct contact.

I'm not going to argue about door handles, I'm just going to point out this is objectively not normal, as in common, behavior - and that you think this does seem to have been due to you growing up while COVID was a threat.

> Also, I did leave my phone in the house when taking out trashes, so can’t say I’m that attached.

That might be setting the bar unreasonably low.

> Who will read nine paragraphs that I think are necessary context for all of this?

They are very interesting, but I'd have to be convinced that they were necessary context. Because the question that I think is important is whether this was true and widespread:

> I think there are a lot of people who feel like they were locked out of funding opportunities because of the focus on amyloid-beta. Maybe this is true, I don’t know.

And you don't know. I don't know either.

We can't say that anything would be farther along if these frauds had not happened, because that is a counterfactual. We can just guess that if we spend resources in areas that didn't have as much fraud surrounding them, we would be more likely to be farther along. Any argument otherwise is an argument that the direction and funding of research doesn't ever really matter.

I don't think any avenue of research should be abandoned if anybody still sees any possible value in it. But I know that funding decisions heavily influenced by fraudulent research are not going to be better made than decisions not influenced by fraud; and that if we were making decisions based on fraud over a long period of time, it is safe to assume that there was a loss. If we want to be less likely to repeat this loss, we probably need to change how we evaluate where to allocate funding.
Several department heads have told their employees to ignore this email which only adds to the chaos and drama.

Can you describe your stack and workflow ?
You are talking about the big leagues and you expect you have both skill and reputation gaps to make up. There are lots of sports and entertainment metaphors for this, and lots of- very rare, yes- success cases. In areas like this the world is enough of a meritocracy that if one has talent, and develops skill, then there are plenty of platforms by which one can be noticed.

You need to do work that you can do. Deep and low level. A single gpu is fine. Lots of projects and repos out there, esp for inference.

It is difficult in terms of motivation to apply low level focus to problems your social brain thinks are irrelevant. You have to learn how to ignore the social brain and listen only to the technical curiosity brain. Keep a journal. Document your findings. Find the motivation train every researcher has inside.

And look if you wind up not having the talent or time, then this is just a hobby. And that is ok.
If you set the amount of working hours per day to 14, the game suddenly becomes easy. :')

I’m sorry that you feel that shallow and uninformed opinions need to be coddled.

As an analogy, if someone comes in and says global warming isn’t happening, the goal isn’t to eviscerate that opinion. That is the outcome of the opinion being wholly inconsistent with the corpus of scientific data collected up to this point.

Bad takes get the respect they deserve. If getting hammered with difficult questions in response is too much to handle, maybe it’s time to reevaluate them. If you aren’t the type to reconsider opinions in the face of difficult questions, you’re sadly correct that an open forum for discourse probably isn’t the right place for you to be.

The stakes are too high at this point. We’re diving headfirst into a climate crisis, the U.S. government is possibly irreversibly on the path to a complete authoritarian takeover, we’re on the verge of allowing the destruction of our remaining natural heritage, and crucial functions of our government are being dismantled without any scrutiny while being egged on by the least well-informed half of the electorate. I am done pulling my punches on those who champion this shit.

Are you talking of bit warden password manager or bitwarden authenticator? The latter does not seem to have a desktop version.

I'm not at all a Mac person, but this whole comment was a really interesting read.

Regarding the shortcut-listeners-not-accelerators things in Linux, is it really not equivalent when an app uses a fully featured toolkit like Qt that (presumably) has support for specifying the semantics of various controls?

Aside: I still miss the Unity desktop environment that Ubuntu used to have. It had its flaws for sure (e.g. poor performance and relying on a patched version of Mutter), but its implementation of a global menu was just superb. The ergonomics of having it at the top of the screen were great, and having each entry be searchable was a breath of fresh air. I've been happy enough with KDE Plasma for a while now, but would jump at the chance to have that global menu with search again.
On my Android, what's the upside of using this instead of Google Authenticator if they both back up to the same place?

If they used their own cloud backend I would be a lot more interested. They could even offer to store it in their cloud end-to-end encrypted (making it my responsibility to keep the password safe). That would give me similar exposure as their password manager, which I'm already using.

That's a great point about the limitations of traditional OCR with rotated or poorly scanned documents. I agree that VLMs really shine when it comes to understanding context and extracting information beyond just the text itself.

It's not "an AI", it's AI as in artificial intelligence, the study of making machines do things that humans do.

A fairly simple set of if statements is AI (an "expert system" specifically).

Sorry, I didn’t mean to specifically call out 1password. I should have said “closed source” not “untrustworthy”. Last time I looked at password managers Bitwarden and keepass were the only real oss solutions. And Bitwarden had better qualify of life features.
I don't think it is safe to move to anybody's cloud if you are concerned about spying. We have seen far too many invocations of the magical words "national security" and "think of the children" universally.

There are no UK residents involved in the organisation or operation of it now even though we came up with it.
This is a complicated ecosystem, it's not that simple. Academic departments are not places where there's a lot of slack - positions are scarce, the competition for them is fierce, and the people who get them are notorious workaholics. Cutting admin means more work on professors, means less research output, means fewer grants funded, means fewer grad students supported. So you can cut students and get fewer students, or cut admin still get fewer students but also less research and funding as well.
Both mobile operating systems use e2e encryption for the backups.
I've only started to look into the complexities involved in chip design (for my BitGrid hobby horse project) but I've noticed that in the Nature article, all of the discussion is based on simulation, not an actual chip.

Let's see how well that chip does if made by the fab. (I doubt they'd actually make it, likely there are a thousand design rule checks it would fail)

If you paid them to over-ride the rules at make it anyway, I'd like to see if it turned out to be anything other than a short-circuit from Power to Ground.

Let's get to the same reality then. Do these facts exist in your reality?

Ronald Reagan (1981–1989):
Fiscal Year 1981: Federal spending was approximately $678 billion.
Fiscal Year 1989: Federal spending increased to about $1.14 trillion.

George H. W. Bush (1989–1993):
Fiscal Year 1989: Inherited a federal budget of $1.14 trillion.
Fiscal Year 1993: Federal spending rose to approximately $1.41 trillion.

George W. Bush (2001–2009):
Fiscal Year 2001: Federal spending stood at about $1.86 trillion.
Fiscal Year 2009: Federal spending increased significantly to approximately $3.52 trillion.

Donald Trump (2017–2021):
Fiscal Year 2017: Federal spending was around $4.1 trillion.
Fiscal Year 2021: Federal spending rose to about $6.8 trillion.

Can you explain how the Republican Party is the party of small government, if Republican Presidents in my lifetime have always increased federal spending?
defense, yes

social security and medicaid, absolutely not (scrutiny, fine; cuts, no)
As much as I appreciate desktop Linux (particularly with Windows getting worse by the minute) it really kills me that these points can’t be fully replicated under it. All the DEs are geared for Windows-like or tablet-OS-like experience first and foremost, with a few niche oddballs mimicking unices of old. WMs are predominantly hyperminimalist tiling things. There’s nothing that reproduces a Mac desktop experience beyond the most superficial level.

> I realize you are probably using bitwarden directly, in which case don’t you trust them to safeguard your data?

Yes i use bitwarden directly, no self hosting. I do trust them keep my data safe (although i also trusted LastPass at some point, big mistake) but why not also keep a local copy, just in case. The type of data you store in bitwarden is worth the hassle and if Bitwarden Inc. ever gets into big trouble suddenly you'll be glad to have the backup.

> It sounds too radical to even warrant a second thought. That President Donald Trump could force some of the US’s foreign creditors to swap their Treasuries into ultra long-term bonds to ease the country’s debt burden.

> And yet, that’s what Jim Bianco corralled his clients to discuss on Thursday after rumors of a so-called ‘Mar-a-Lago Accord’ began making the rounds.

> Bianco stressed that this type of debt swap may not actually happen, and if the US were to pursue it, it would require significant international cooperation and could potentially impact global financial stability. Bond investors are so far showing little sign of concern, with trading in the Treasury market particularly calm in recent days.
My own country lies to me far more than Russia could ever even dream it. The president of the US went on live tv and said he saw non-existent "beheaded babies" just to service Israel. Russia isn't even a blip of a problem for US citizens (other than the Ukraine stealing our tax dollars). In fact, a lot of people that want to take away our freedoms seem to be anti-Russia, so at worst they're the enemy of our enemy.

I don't vote "right" because the Democrats and the Republicans are both working against my interests.
> albeit you are putting a single point of failure on all of your secure info.

Depends on what failure mode you're talking about.

If you mean "I won't be able to access things when their service is down", that's not entirely accurate, because the database is synced to clients, so you just can't connect a new client or add/update entries, but existing entries are accessible.

If you mean "everything will be compromised if their service is hacked", that's not quite accurate either, because the encryption key to the database isn't stored on their servers (things are only ever decrypted on the client).

If you mean "any compromise is all/nothing", this is kindof true, but can be mitigated by keeping separate vaults, so that your most sensitive items are not kept with the ones you need routinely.

Or maybe you're thinking of some other failure mode ...

"Democracy" is just a chant now. It's supposed to somehow happen without votes, privacy, freedom of expression, or freedom of association.
Probably because of how frequently screen content changes.
I believe you when you say you made no error and that it was part of your rhetorical strategy. The problem is that your rhetorical strategy was to mischaracterize the author's statement in order to weaken it. That's dishonest. Saying "that was merely rhetorical" doesn't magically make it not dishonest. (This is on top of your earlier mischaracteiztion that they were "surprised" a project succeeded without a CoC, which I presumed was a mistake caused by a game of telephone in this discussion until you implied that wasn't the case. I can't take you at your word when you have mischaracterized the author multiple times then doubled down.)

If you had said, "oh, that was a mistake, I didn't mean to imply they had extrapolated from a single instance," then I would've believed you then, too.

They made a side note in an "about" page. You're making a mountain out of a pebble. The author made a minor note about their thought process, you have been complaining about it and have now crossed into personal attacks on them. "Whining" is not a stone you ought to be throwing.

Mmm potato potato... He seems a pretty sick guy to take pleasure at other people's suffering As is evidenced by his rhetoric during political rallies especially where he encouraged the audience to beat the living crap out of naysayers, and to act cruel more often than not, and to turn conversations always towards his own relevance and to not be able to tell jokes + on and on and on. Narcissism may have exited the DSM however it's a warning sign of some pretty bad malignant behavior that this guy exhibits. Every time he rules, everyone he touches, dies.
With the fanciful claims about the imminent arrival of AGI, that seems unlikely. It'll probably crash and burn in a year or two as top line performance suffers.

The good news is that low spec performance is a rich area for improvement and it's progressing very nicely.
Cutting admin people might mean more paperwork for professors and researches, which can lead to less grants and funding because you can’t do science while doing paperwork. Not that easy to be efficient without losing productivity.
Mainly when unoccupied, yeah. Brain didn't like not having something engaging with it.
Sorry I couldn't sport any mention of AI on the website on a quick look.
I agree that the article is wrong in using the wording “the AI”. However, firstly the original publication [0] doesn’t mention AI at all, only deep-learning models, and neither do any of the quotes in the article. Secondly, it is customary to categorize the technology resulting from AI research as AI — just not as “an AI”. The former does not imply any personification. You can have algorithms that exhibit intelligence without them constituting any kind of personal identity.

While it’s certainly written from the managers POV and will show that bias, but the behavior and attitude he is describing is not unheard of from SWEs and the personality types that are attracted to that vocation. Frankly it’s frustrating and a challenge that cannot be easily dismissed as “bad-to-average leadership”. It might be bad leadership, but it’s bad behavior from the employee too and that should be acknowledged.

When I managed technical people I used to describe the challenge to management folks outside of tech that in tech management you are managing a group of people where everyone is absolutely convinced that they are smarter than everyone else around them. Often not only just smarter but their other colleagues are bumbling idiots.

So my bias from experience is that this dev was wrong, because I have been through very similar scenarios with similar Jerry’s. I spent 2 decades managing engineers, but haven’t for a decade so I acknowledge that times change and perhaps stroking fragile egos is a management necessity in 2025 where it wasn’t in 2015. I also had the benefit of supportive executive leadership that allowed me to quickly cycle out those personalities like “Jerry” to build a team where even if folks were convinced they were smarter than their peers, they would at least communicate with each and be respectful of the entire team’s contribution that allowed us to minimize source issues like was described in this story.
It doesn't say "EU regulations to look forward to", this isn't a hype article. Us who actually work in tech in relation to EU markets need to stay up to date on what regulations are introduced so that we can make sure to be in compliance.
