> Unlike many scientific fields, mathematics has no concept of "first author" or "senior author"; contributors are simply listed alphabetically.

I don't think this is (generally) true? Speaking as a math postdoc right now, at least in my field of computational mathematics there's definitely a notion of first author. Though, a note of individual contributions at the bottom of the paper is becoming more common.
For the record this would have no legal impact on anything.

(Yes, ripgrep is matching a Unicode-aware `\w` above, which is why I turned on GNU grep's locale feature. To make it apples-to-apples.)

Now to be fair, you did say "usually." But actually, sometimes, even when functional parity[1] has been achieved (and then some), perf can still be wildly improved.

[1]: ripgrep is not compatible with GNU grep, but there shouldn't be much you can do with grep that you can't do with ripgrep. The main thing would be stuff related to the marriage of locales and regexes, e.g., ripgrep can't do `echo 'pokémon' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep 'pok[[=e=]]mon'`. Conversely, there's oodles that ripgrep can do that GNU grep can't. For example, transparently searching UTF-16. POSIX forbids such wildly popular use cases (e.g., on Windows).

The current administration is using LLMs which are telling them to instruct the NSA not to talk about privilege escalation.

I addressed that: bad policies and decisions don't go away just because of LLMs. They will always exist, it's just that now they'll exist at the same time as people gaslighting themselves into believing that LLMs are helping to eliminate them.

You can make this work in the other direction:

"Would you be ok with government employees or law enforcement indiscriminately opening the letters of illegal immigrants?"

You'd immediately get the answer yes. Of course, in order to find the illegal immigrant letters they have to open _all_ of the letters.

People will give law enforcement huge amounts of power because they think it will be used against groups they don't like.

If you post a small snippet I can give a quick breakdown of what's going on. Assembly in its core is very simple - it's primarily just register moves, loads/stores, arithmetic operations, bitwise manipulation, calls and returns. As soon as you get familiar with syntax, even without in-depth knowledge, you can get a general idea of what's going on when comparing to the original code side-by-side (obviously it's not going to work with async or methods with yield returns but you get the idea).
It's a game of perfect philosophical definitions, which generally are not needed in practical life.

It's not just Gorbachev. The minister of defense Dmitry Yazov also refuted this myth, as did the minister of foreign affairs Eduard Shevardnadze and his successor Andrei Kozyrev, along with many others. You are clinging to your interpretation of a few phrases from meeting notes and other insignificant documents while ignoring the actual signed treaties, their historical context and the recollections of the participants in these events.

Shevardnadze, in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, was as clear as one could be:

SPIEGEL ONLINE: At the end of March 1990, Genscher and the then US Secretary of State James Baker, talked about the fact that there was interest among "central European states" about getting into NATO. You knew nothing of this?

Shevardnadze: This is the first I've heard of it.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Did you have a conversation with your colleagues in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary about a possible eastward expansion of NATO in the spring of 1990?

Shevardnadze: No, that was never discussed in my presence.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: The German documents give the impression that Moscow counted on the dissolution of both the Warsaw Pact and NATO. Did you really think that would happen?

Shevardnadze: That may have been discussed after I resigned from the ministry of foreign affairs in December 1990. However during my time in office it was not.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Was the eastward expansion of NATO ever discussed in the inner circles of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1990?

Shevardnadze: The question never came up.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Did the subject play a role in the ratification process of the Two-Plus-Four agreement (where the signatories included the two Germanys and the four powers that occupied Germany after World War II) that unified Germany?

Shevardnadze: No, there were no difficulties whatsoever with the ratification process.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Nevertheless, the eastward expansion happened a few years later. Did you feel, at the time, that the German diplomats deceived you?

Shevardnadze: No. When I was the minister of foreign affairs in the Soviet Union, NATO's expansion beyond the German borders never came up for negotiation. To this day I don't see anything terrible in NATO's expansion.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: At the conference in Ottawa on German unity in February 1990, you had five telephone conversations with Gorbachev. Did you discuss a possible NATO enlargement -- beyond the GDR?

Shevardnadze: No. We only had German reunification on the agenda, nothing else.
This is pretty much it. When you are at HPC performance requirements, the rust pain doesn't matter too much - but... You can also get decent perf in any language by being careful about the allocations. The lack of gc provides an at most 2x benefit for a reasonably well optimized java program in this setting.
As the sibling said, that's not generally how photography licensing works (the photographer usually retains the rights to the photo and licenses it for specific use).

But, that also wouldn't stop a celebrity (or their agent) from taking a nice selfie, or picking a family candid, or whatever other photo looks better than whatever is posted currently. Or just paying a slightly larger sum to the photographer to transfer rights or release under CC or whatever.

I'm surprised it isn't a priority - I assume most celebs have a media team already (at least celebs I'm likely to have heard of) but some still have really awful Wiki portraits.
> But it seems it is just a glorified UPS...

Yes, exactly.

> is that what the tesla "Wall" is?

You mean the Powerwall. It's more like a standby generator than a UPS, because they either backup the whole house, or a subpanel. There is an automatic transfer switch, just like a standby generator.

---

The big differences between a Powerwall and a standby generator are:

The Powerwall needs no maintenance. (Standby generators need annual maintenance, oil changes, new spark plugs...)

The Powerwall needs no external fuel source. (No tank of diesel or propane, no need to have a natural gas service to the house.)

The Powerwall can be configured to only charge from solar. This allows owners to take advantage of renewable energy incentives.

The Powerwall can join Tesla's virtual power plant, and feed back into the grid, thus generating revenue. (Basically, charge from solar when demand for electricity is low, and feed back into the grid when demand for electricity is high.) Tesla paid me over $1000 for 2024.

---

(In case you didn't know, a standby generator is the kind that automatically starts and powers your house in a blackout. A portable generator is, well, portable. If you have one, you have to manually start it, and either trip over extension cords, or wire in a manual transfer switch to your house.)

When something doesn't match your expectations you (and others reading along) can often learn a lot more if you start with the assumption you had missing information rather than the assumption it's just incorrect. Even in cases where the story really does have an error by asking about it instead of asserting it you are more likely to hear something additional you didn't know before.

What qualities should an excellent product manager possess?
Here are some of my thoughts, which might be wrong or incomplete, and I welcome discussion on them.

1. Answer Two Questions
a. What to do? Some companies are very good at this, like Anker, which decides what to do based on market growth data.
b. How to do it? DJI is very good at this; as long as you know the direction, you can generally make the product perfect.

2. Curiosity and the Unknown
a. Maintain curiosity, think about any product around you, how it came to be, and why it was designed this way?

3. Simplicity and Complexity
a. There are no simple products in the world; all great products become more complex because they cover a wide enough user base and demand is sufficiently dispersed, like iPhone, Mac, DJI, Tesla, NVIDIA.
b. However, to break through, the product must achieve the following two points:
1. Easy for extreme users to use.
2. Easy for beginners to get started, which is the most difficult, possibly involving many technical changes/breakthroughs.

4. From Extreme Products to Beginner Products
a. You may bear a heavy burden and often be killed by emerging technologies.
b. From Beginner Products to Extreme Products
1. You may face many technical challenges, requiring a lot of money, and in the end, you may not even be able to make the product, dying on the way to entrepreneurship/product development.

5. Delve into the Details
a. The core of the founder model is a simple principle: focus on details.
b. You must understand what the product looks like; if you don't understand the details, the product will be out of control.
c. The best way to delve into details is to become a qualified test engineer, different from a test engineer, you need to test from the user's perspective.

6. Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
a. Know yourself, communicate more with R&D; product managers are the leaders in battle. If you don't know your soldiers' abilities, strengths/weaknesses, weapons, and likes/dislikes, how can you lead them to victory?
b. Know your enemy, who your competitors are, how many people they have, how many years they have been in business, what their strengths and weaknesses are.

7. User Behavior
a. How to judge whether your product is good or not?
1. Give your product to users without saying a word, observe their actions, expressions, and operation time when using your product for the first time.
2. Both software and hardware products are applicable.
Yeah, the 90s and Windows wouldn't exactly be the time range I'd associate with Microsoft and innovative GUIs (although Windows was mostly better than its reputation IMO).

Where MS actually did groundbreaking UI/UX work was in the 00s, ironically for most things not Windows - Media Center, Xbox 360, Zune/WP.

And of course they had to ruin it with botched product management and their bulldozing Metro/UWP everywhere strategy. The Windows 8.1 UX on a tablet was actually pretty good. Too bad it a) sucked on everything else, b) app integration was spotty due to relegating Win32 to second class.
I am sure the Rust community would welcome feedback from blind developers about their error messages. Accessibility is a good thing.
Thanks for the feedback. It's a hard game!
> I don’t copy-paste it as my own thoughts

Like how engineers claim they are not losing skills because they are using programming tool assistants, I think there is an over-confidence thing at play here, where the user of an AI assistant doesn’t want to admit to themselves that they are also being shaped by it.

You are still being subtly influenced by something, that’s the whole issue at play here. OpenAI has incredible power in influencing the subconscious of so many people, and I think thats the thing to question here. I am not entirely against it, but we need to be honest with ourselves with how malleable our minds are and influenced we are by what we consume.
Every time I hear the iPad vs Mac debate, I cannot help but feel people are trying extra hard to avoid Microsoft's Surface devices which meet these qualifications. I love my Surface Book 2, its one of the best laptops I've ever owned.
Georgescu ran as independent, not as the candidate of any party. Simion ran against him. "Taking up the mantle" here means that he might be able to convince Georgescu's supporters to vote for him instead. (He got 13.86% vs 22.94% for Georgescu.)

The problem with Georgescu's candidacy is that he claimed 0 campaign spending, yet his campaign appeared to have quite significant amounts of funding. Excluding a candidate for campaign finance transparency violations seems acceptable to me, even if he had gotten 99% of the vote. It's the principle of the thing. But I do think the Romanian court system could've handled it better.
Agreed, this move seems like wasted effort at best.
LLMs literally only tell you what you want to hear. They are Dunning-Krueger machines.

I took portraits for a cousin's kiddo and gave them the proper files to have prints made. I forget exactly what store they went to have them made (CVS/Walgreens/WallyWorld), but were at first refused prints because they "didn't own the copyright" with they being my cousin. They were told they would need a signed release to make the prints. Of course I had no issue doing this, but it was the first time I had ever heard of some one being refused like that. Now, I just provide said letter with the files.
> Seriously. Stop using LLMs to "help" you do stuff you already know how to do.

Why?
I suffer this at work, mainly if I'm more in a thinking-mode than a doing-mode. I struggle very hard to concentrate and get anything done if there's noise around me. I'd be curious what model OP bought, maybe I could consider doing the same thing.
CubeJS – A Universal OSS Semantic Layer (Maturity?)
Hey,
We've been using Looker (Google) as a BI & semantic layer tool, but it's not that good and seems to have no roadmap.
Thinking about moving to something more universal for serving analytics data to some future BI tool, and also to some of our back-office tools.

What do you guys think of CubeJS ? is it mature enough ?

It's remarkable how Windows had a native toolkit that worked great, but when it needed modernizing (especially for higher resolutions) they repeatedly drove off a cliff in weird directions which are much, much heavier and also locked down awkwardly like UWP.

The other day for meme purposes I was trying to write a "retro Windows style Bluesky client". I did get a timeline displaying but it was clear that I'd exceeded the point at which the toolkit was going to help and I was going to have to do my own word wrap etc for owner-draw listbox entries. It's still a charming aesthetic.
Swift seems like an excellent language, but I can't shake the feeling that it's just not worth learning unless you're writing code on and for Apple's ecosystem.

It can be, but just plain multi-threading in rust is a lot easier to work with (correctly) than it is in C - just using stdlib and builtin features of rust.
The cold hard truth about the FAA going the “DEI” emphasis route is because middle and upper middle class people won’t do those jobs anymore. The FAA requires drug testing and too many people in those classes smoke weed or take prescription medications that render them ineligible for the roles. That and the whole making people go where they’re told right out of training isn’t appealing compared to alternatives available. Why go into ATC when it’s easier to go into Finance or even Healthcare jobs?

DEI is a boogeyman for the aviation industry, and I remember back before 2010 the CEO of Sabre constantly harping on the neglect in the aviation infrastructure (spending to modernize) that would’ve alleviated the issues we’re facing today. The deregulated US airlines have had zero accountability to pay into a public utility they rely upon. Numerous administrations of both sides have passed the buck…it’s the Baby Boomer way…that and destroying pensions!

DEI didn’t dump airline pensions on the PBGC, get your head out of your asses with that ish.

The End of Children – The Population Implosion
I was an algebraic geometer when I was still doing research in the field, and it was definitely true in that corner of the world. Authors are alphabetical, and you usually cite the paper by listing them all, no "et al"'s. I think I didn't even know there was such a thing as "first author" until I worked in ML.
