Ya i do love, like, meh, dislike :). I want personal ratings not a weird public scale that everyone uses differently.
> Do us a favor and don't misrepresent what I say.

Would you mind doing me the same favor, of not misrepresenting what you say?

> "Self-published" connotes no-name author (or anonymous/pseudonymous) with no publishing history or reputation; whereas Neil Gaiman is already reputable and has sold 40 million books.

...is this relevant to something you've said? I'm the only one so far who's said something about self-published books. Your recommendation was to avoid ebooks. That recommendation was stupid.

> Statistically, the average e-book that Amazon tries to advertise to you is far more likely to be the former than the letter.

Well, I just opened the Amazon front page. These are the ebooks they're advertising to me:

1. The Summer Dragon, Todd Lockwood. Publisher: DAW

2. Beren and Lúthien, J.R.R. Tolkien (and Christopher Tolkien). Publisher: William Morrow (= HarperCollins)

3. Daughter of the Empire, Raymond Feist (and Janny Wurts). Publisher: Spectra (= Penguin)

4. The Grace of Kings, Ken Liu. Publisher: Saga Press (= Simon & Schuster)

5. An Inheritance of Ash & Blood, Jamie Edmundson. Publisher: Rarn, which does appear to be Jamie Edmundson's personal publishing company. This could fairly be considered self-published. It's also available on Kindle Unlimited, which is a red flag. The author appears to be fairly prolific, so he's not exactly lacking a publishing history.

6. Heir of Ra, M. Sasinowski. Publisher: Kingsmill Press. This is another publisher that appears to be a vehicle for a single author. Probably self-published. This book is at pains to point out the many awards it's won, probably because it's self-published.

7. The Anvil, Christopher Coates. Publisher: Next Chapter, which purports to "combine the professionalism and quality of traditional publishing with the creative freedom of independent publishing". They review your work before publishing it; not self-published.

8. The Book That Wouldn't Burn, Mark Lawrence. Publisher: Ace

That concludes the front page. There are five books from major publishers, one from a minor publisher, and two most likely self-published. The biggest names appearing are J.R.R. Tolkien and Raymond Feist. Taking author quality into account, you appear to be roughly as likely to get Neil Gaiman as you are to get anything self-published. Ignoring it, you're far more likely to get something reputable than to get trash.

Unless, of course, you want to read trash, in which case Amazon's recommendations will probably lean that way.
Can confirm, overdosing on Vitamin B6 is bad. Lots of very scary symptoms.

I accidentally poisoned myself with B6 from Magnesium tablets over the course of a year: https://davids.town/vitamin-b6-overdose (my levels were 38x the healthy range).

tl;dr: Always check your Magnesium for what else the tablet includes. If it contains Pyridoxine hydrochloride (i.e. Vitamin B6) or another Pyridoxine compound, find one that doesn't. Since then, Swisse is the only brand I've found that consistently sells "pure" Magnesium tablets here in Australia.
You don't actually seem like you're disagreeing with me though? I spoke only to the form of government as it pertains to end results, not to how we should attribute "points" to a given ruler or politician. Credit assignment is similarly difficult when it comes to voters and elected leaders.

The end result is higher variance over a long period of time as a dictatorship switches between good and bad leadership. Meanwhile democracies consistently fail to execute on large scale visions. There's a reason corporate structure generally resembles a dictatorship, and that same reason is what eventually leads many of them to fail.
Wasn't science supposed to be a set of tools for avoiding lying to yourself about reality, on individual level and as a community?

What's missing from the toolbox?
And the awkwardness that if said influencer is engaged in fraud then that means they have more free time, incentive and natural inclination to politic. They don't have the handicap of having to spend time worrying about solid research and they clearly care a lot about managing what other people think of them.

It's not even that bad of a system. The Roman Republic conquered the civilized world with a political system based on formalized clientelism.

And anyone who's seen "honest" public procurement will see the benefit to a system where the governor can call his friend and have a railway built by the end of the year.
Not sure there's a Go equivalent of Laravel, so not sure which tooling you suggest people adopt. If I want an all inclusive MVC (or similar) web development framework with all batteries included - why not build a Go Laravel?

Python has Django

Java has Spring (among others)

C# has asp.net

Ruby has Rails

PHP has Laravel

What does Go have?
I had no idea. Was most of his work before or after these tragedies. Hope he had a peaceful death himself financially not in turmoil.

I hope most of the pain and death we see in the world today seem like solved problems many years from now. Much like the health issues faced by his family.
I quite like the Most Von Lipwig stuff.

This seems like a wild work around to retrofit a non-MIMO system into the modern era with beamforming chips a-plenty. While it's interesting to consider using an AI to detect and steer the beam using the harmonics of the received signal, it's important to bear in mind these will be about 20 dB down from the fundamental received frequency.

It would be far more reliable to employ a phased array transceiver which can do multiple concurrent beamforming operations. This would allow the use of the antenna for multiple connections on the fundamental frequency.

If it's truly for a single channel/single user, it would be simpler to simply time-multiplex a search for reflections by random sampling, or perhaps even gradient descent.
The Libor bankers, for example [0].

Were they completely innocent? Nobody is completely innocent, Cardinal Richelieu knew that. But they were definitely whistleblowers who went to jail.

Maybe for the top 1 or 10% folks out there who are good enough at fraud to actually reliably get away with it. For the rest of us, I don't think this is true.
Lunni is similar to Portainer. (And it uses Portainer as the backend, actually!)

Before I started Lunni, I was using Portainer myself, but it got too painful. Here are some paper cuts I’m trying to solve with Lunni:

- I only manage one cluster (of one server), but I still had to select endpoint every time. In Lunni, the first thing you see when you log in is the status of your stacks/projects

- I use Traefik with routing config living in service labels. It’s a huge snippet, impossible to remember, which I had to copy from project to project. In Lunni it’s autocompleted for you: https://lunni.dev/docs/deploy/#:~:text=This%20is%20quite%20l...

- When you look at the service logs in Portainer, they refresh once in a while and throw away your scroll position, which is super frustrating. In Lunni, it works as you’d expect. As a bonus, you can copy a link to a log line (e.g. if you want to share it with somebody or just bookmark it)

- If you need to create a Docker config or secret for a stack in Portainer, you have to go to another dashboard section, make a config yourself, then copy the name to your stack. In Lunni, you can do that right on the New project page: https://lunni.dev/docs/configs-secrets/

- ...and a lot of other things like error messages that don’t disappear in 5 seconds, before you’ve had a chance to read them

Basically, I’m trying to make a Portainer that is a pleasure to use. Maybe it’s not as close to Coolify as I thought, but I’m trying to maintain a more PaaSy feel than Portainer. Some things you’d expect from a PaaS, like a built in CI and automated DB/volume backups, are also on the roadmap!

Theoretically, it's probably better to get information about Laravel from their respective website. I would expect as this is a framework made for Laravel users, you're not really in their target audience anyway.

It would be helpful to explain a little bit about why they like Laravel though, to entice you to read more by yourself.
Take this comment as an extra upvote. The thing is: we need to figure out a way to make accountability to become more of a thing. Peer review isn't enough (clearly). I suspect that people should create a journal that has more strict requirements than simply peer review. I think for many forms of science, one should provide an R script with the data they used to get the results. Yes, there are still ways to fabricate stuff but it'll be more transparent. Another thing is: there needs to be an incentive for reproducible findings

Unfortunately, I don't know how to go about this
I don't see MAGA surviving post Trump.

I'd say it will morph, and elements will remain in the republican party but not intact.

Trump is a huge magnetising force but without him, it doesn't really have anyone else. Sure people like Vance will try to further their own ambition but none of them will succeed in taking on the mantle and keeping it as the force is today.
I am a novice to Cursor. I wonder how can I make it not break the existing code. I can ask it to compile after each edit and fix compiling errors, and after that, run tests and fix failing tests? Won't that eat into my credit a lot? Should I use .cursirrules or prompt?

I also wonder how to not add functionality I didn't ask for and not add any "improvements" unless I specifically asked.

Right now I am in the middle of building a CRUD api with Cursor, it took longer to write code than I would have done it myself. After the code was written it took lots of time and credits to fix compilation errors. Now I asked it to fix failing unit tests, but either it can not find a solution or it applies something that gives a compilation error or breaks other tests.

I've gone through almost all my monthly quota of fast calls in 10 hours.
Your career is done. Academics tend to rule themselves: think peer review, but for everything. You apply for a grant, and you are in bad terms with the reviewers for some critics? You get nothing. The editors of the Journals are also scientists. Are you in bad terms with a friend of the editor? "Nice work, but it doesn't fit our journal", also let me send some emails to get sure you don't get published in first decile, or your paper gets slowed down for months.

You deserve the Nobel prize, but you critisized the work of someone? You get nothing! Swedish chemist Arrhenius blocked the Nobel price for Mendeleev because the later make some valid scientific critics the former didn't like.
I will never understand how adults can feel fealty to powerful people like this. How does it even come about?
This is great and all but how can you objectively measure something like "mood" or "productivity"?

There are a lot of variables, even in your day to day work activities (e.g. you never debug & implement a fix for the exact same bug twice...one bug might be a satisfying and enjoyable activity, another might be a frustrating, difficult, and tedious pain in the ass)

I've done similar trials with magnesium glcyinate and personally not noticed any difference. But then I have not found any way to accurately measure differences between what a "good day" is Vs a "bad day". Even without supplementing, it feels like dice roll at the best of times
Have you looked at C3? Its goals align with Zig but it’s much closer to C in terms of syntax.
Some key quotes from the article you linked to:

"The Pandora papers do not indicate whether any dividends were ever paid or their size."

"Nor do they reveal how many payments might have been made."

"One reason for setting up Maltex was “tax-efficient accumulation of business profits”;"

This all sounds like a nothingburger. It is most likely the local equivalent of creative Hollywood accounting.

This kind of rhetoric is the equivalent of saying that someone doesn't deserve saving form the local mafia because they're a criminal too -- after all, they ran a red light once and claimed a few things on their tax return they likely shouldn't have.
It's beyond shit.

The viewer actually has 'presentation mode' which opens in full screen, but if you rotate your phone 90° it just closes after a second (Chrome on Android).

I honestly don't think I could write something this bad if I tried.
Science still works if the newly found knowledge can somehow be transformed into technology. Technology is perhaps the strongest form of reproducibility there is. This is true for even social science as it will make its way into novel marketing approaches that clearly generate more revenue

An allergy clinic can run these tests for you.

Been doing immunotherapy for allergies for 3 years and it is a complete game changer. Last year was the first year I could breathe through my nose for the entire year. No more stuffy months.
You should consider a dust mite vacuum with UV. I bought one on Amazon (this one but you can check YouTube reviews for others).

https://www.amazon.com/JIGOO-Vacuum-Cleaner-Dust-Sensor/dp/B...

I was surprised how much dust this thing picked up (my sheets get washed often, but it’s hard to clean the mattress itself). Back in the day people used to sun dry their mattresses but no one does that these days.

This dust mite vacuum picked up half a canister of gunk from my dead skin and environmental dust that has accumulated over the years (and it has a light scattering sensor that tells you how much dust is being sucked up). My nose was clear after sleeping on a vacuumed bed. I now vacuum my bed once a week, and it has really helped.

Vacuuming your bed and other fabric surfaces also feels therapeutic. For me, it’s like watching one of those powerwashing videos. You feel cleansed after.
Yes, but it's important to note that it's quite a specialized index.
- It's an index that doesn't depend on the data, unlike traditional r-tree indices. This means non-uniform data won't be queried as efficiently as with rtree, but it may be faster to build.

- This data independence property is VERY important for distributed or streaming queries. For example, if you want to join datasets using Spark or other big data tools, each team can add a column for h3 cells independently and join somewhat efficiently. For large volumes of data, constructing the rtree is just not feasible, or more precisely, very disconnected from the rest of the "data ecosystem".

- It doesn't work with any coordinate reference system other than EPSG 4326 (which you may want if you only work on specific geographies to get more precision in your floats)

- It's clearly built with points in mind. Polygons, curves, or lines are an afterthought. For example, the polygonToCells function returns a set of cells that are entirely within the polygon. If you want to join, you'd need to also have the set of all cells that entirely contain the polygon. I've never found a reliable way to get that.

That being said, it's not bad at all, but if you don't have so much data that you can't compute rtree indices, just stick with PostGIS.
Eh, very few fraudsters start with a plan to commit fraud. More often than not, it's legitimate intent, but then thoughts happen along the lines of "I could make my ten years of work much more effective by just being a tiny little bit dishonest!" And then it becomes, "but now I have to lie about this other slightly bigger thing too, else it will become suspicious!" And eventually, "now that I've already lied so much, I might just make stuff up."

Particularly in research, where you may be working on the same idea for decades, it can be damning when you realize that the idea might just be fruitless. If all you had to do was remove one or two zeroes, and finally your colleagues would praise instead of mock you, wouldn't that be great?
> Zelensky has made statements that indicates he wants the war to go on forever

No, he wants security guarantees. Without them, putin will attack again and war will go on forever. He wants security guarantees because that is the only way to ensure peace. So much so that he offered to step down in exchange to join NATO.

Maybe science should be anonymous? Somehow?

Or maybe we are gonna be saved by more and more of science getting depersonalized by the virtue of being created by AI?
If you compare posts to food then a post with many likes is like hyperpalatable food, and a post with many likes that shows up in your feed is like a hyperpalatable food that the algorithm thinks you will like. Nothing wrong with the algorithm, it's the post that's the problem

The solution is very simple, just limit the like count of posts in your feed.

Is he wrong though? Next.js reason of existence is essentially that .json file navigation. The addition of server side compute (ie: middlewares, router, etc...) is mostly a business decision that the framework has nothing to do with as it breaks your back-end/front-end separation (unless your application is very simple to fit in a nextjs function).
How is this better than space filling curves? Or does this solve a different problem? It’s a bit hard to see what and how it solves. Why hexagons?
The web wouldn’t work with IE just because Microsoft had this unique strategy of deviating from standards, having non-working APIs and providing an awful experience to developers. It’s unique.

Firefox compliance is another story, but very mild compared to IE. Chrome also had to deal with compatibility issues when Firefox was the leader, but Mozilla relinquished their leadership position because it was very important to them to fire their CEO / original writer of Javascript for ideological reasons - he had given $1000 to an anti-abortion NGO, which is an unacceptable thoughtcrime. Then they spent their time politicking and not enough coding.

Sounds like the history of browsers is just made of strategic mistakes.
I think you're wrong about that last part. For ads to make sense as a revenue stream you have to basically auction them, for example at different times and different countries etc. So there has to be some automation, you can't just manually include each ad. This will have to be done programmatically, and there will always be traces (e.g. in div classes). You can try to randomise these or what have you, but it's basically a cat and mouse game with ad blockers.
I wouldn't put some configuration values like no-new-privileges:true in the global docker daemon config. Eventually you will find some app that will break because of this and you will spend hours troubleshooting it if you do not remember this tiny detail.

Something also has to be said for simplicity and redundant choices. For example replacing systemd-timesyncd with chrony is not justified. And some of the recommended sysctl values may be redundant and already the default in the target OS.
The New Yorker article from 2023 about this saga is worth a read:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/09/they-studied-d...

Technical details of the fraud can be found in four famous-ish blog posts of the Data Colada group, also from 2023, beginning with:

Cuba is not a blueprint. It's just a vaguely similar situation. Cuba is much smaller than Ukraine and also not on our border. Although Russian ships can visit Cuba, they can also travel in international waters just as close to the US as Cuba. They are also limited to what can be carried on ships, and we can see any surface ships coming from space. Russian involvement with Cuba is not at all the same as, say, Russia hypothetically backing a coup by anti-US politicians in Canada or something (which is essentially equivalent to what we have done in Ukraine for at least a decade). It is common knowledge that the contested Ukrainian election of 2014 pitted pro-US candidates against pro-Russia candidates. You can believe what you want about the outcome. But clearly, both our side and their side were taking a keen interest in controlling Ukraine, and the Russians have more legitimate interest in that than we do considering how close they are culturally and geographically.

>Nobody put any missiles in Eastern Europe. That's a worn-out Russian talking point that lacks any substance.

It doesn't lack substance. They seriously worry about that. And like I said, it is only half the story. Another huge issue for them is that US interests interfered in Ukrainian politics to destabilize relations with Russia, which was set to deprive them of bases that they were set to have in Ukraine. Another issue had to do with the Nazi leadership of Ukraine. Another had to do with shelling of Russian-speaking civilians in the Donbas and elsewhere in eastern Ukraine. The Nazism and attacks on civilians were covered by even the Western press until our side decided they wanted to fight a war in Ukraine. Then all of that information was brushed under the rug so that we could claim we were supporting the good guys.
It's still hard to get a high enough dose to dangerous level from other supplements. Bad b6 effects typically start over 500mg/day. Usual pills of just b6 are 100mg in countries that don't limit it otherwise. The reviews that I've read normally described the issues as going away within days of stopping.

I wish there was better research on this, because so far only weird isolated cases make the news.
The fact that tests are passing is not a useful metric to me - it’s easy to write low quality passing tests.

I may be biased, I am working with a codebase written in copilot and I have seen tests that check if dictionary literals have the value that was entered in them, or that the functions with a certain type indeed return objects of that type.
I only used it occasionally, took it about 1 hours before going to sleep. I can't really comment on daily use or dosage. I just bought whatever CBD oil a local market was selling. It contains 10% broad spectrum CBD isolate (rest being hemp oil) if the label is to be believed. At least in my country these things aren't well regulated, so experiences will probably vary between vendors, as you can't be sure of exact CBD concentration.
There is no way that's true in my research group. We would - and do - call each other out on our mistakes at ever group meeting. Straight up fraud would not be tolerated.

I think people are underestimatig the psychological impact of failing to act on fraud in your research. Once you've learned that you're a fraud and what you're doing is bullshit, it would be soul crushing to go to work every day.

I have a feeling that non-academics on the Internet have an overly bleak view of the ethics in acamedia. I don't know why, but several online influencers really like to peddle the idea that we're all corrupt.
