I don't really care if someone profits off of prisoners, plus they haven't existed federally since 2022; might want to update your rejoinder. Furthermore, I've had friends who entered the UK on the wrong visa for a degree be

I'm explicitly not. And you have no idea how much fundamental research happens in the commercial sector because there's no incentive to publish it -- why would I publish the trade secrets for you to exploit? For the record, work I

Organized religion ordains priests to read the sacred texts (papers, theses, books) and then anoints them to be the only ones allowed to do ministry and theology. Then they fight among themselves to be allowed to get resources and rise up t

Just as useless except you make 10x more and can spend your spare time doing everything a grad student can, so what's the problem?

So? The whole point of academia is that they aren't bound by customers. Except that's been subverted by having to kowtow to funding agencies and universities most concerned with accruing and distributing money. Defeating the whole

> They are pretty much by definition highly intelligent people who could earn a lot more by working for FAANG or hedge funds Having interviewed many failed priests of higher education, this is not true. It might have been true 50 years a

I love using ai tooling to make frontend engineering trivial. Needs only a minor patch or two but that's enough for me as a dumbass backend/data/distributed systems/site reliability engineer

A lot of modern science is just fishing for funding to keep running a big machine at something then having the ordained priests interpret the output Instead of inventing something interesting like "we're able to scan the elemental

Yes and the UK has very strict entry rules of its own, that it is eager and willing to enforce unless you fall into some special category. Calling this a "warning" is stupid.

Computer says no at scale! A VC's dream! Butlerian jihad when?

Finally! Too much of physics is obsessed with the map and not the territory. This is how you get the tortured reasoning that views measurement and observation as somehow different. Even einstein struggled.

One day I will write an essay on all of the incredibly stupid things XML DSig does, and that's not even touching the cryptography. It's peak enterprise software brain. Someone should go deep on the mailing list and standards body

Well, for fun, that's 2.25 ergs, over 30 years that's an average of -126dBm That's not that low for signal processing these days, and it'd be much more practically useful to develop the ability to filter out noise to tha

Anti-gentrification is a very strange confluence of extreme small-c conservativism and leftism. Quite the odd bedfellows.

I wonder what signal processing methods exist to deal with terrestrial noise sources instead of relying on the brute force approach.

Linear here means just an analog amplifier, no retiming, or DSP or anything

OK. Every major corporation uses Outlook and there is no way I can change that so by not accepting its foibles you are artificially stopping interested contributors who would do it on company time and hardware It's a very FOSS patholog

Correct. It's corporate email. Imagine the amount of contributions that are gated behind stupid email policies because some fossil mailing list client can't handle modern email in the year of our lord 2025

And this alone is why they are worth it for Apple. Modems are speed limited by networks which evolve on a MUCH slower timescale Qualcomm has to sell faster and faster modems but apple can optimize for what we actually care about
