Lets say the scientist takes $0 home (which is ridiculous btw). even then you would need the almighty "funding" to setup a lab, recruit participants, etc. Anybody doing science at a University is definitely doing it at a significa

I respect EFF for fighting the good fight. And its direly needed. But, having spent a couple of years in the privacy space. People choose convenience over privacy 10/10 times. No amount of cookie banners, privacy notices and user cons

There's a lot of hate for Duolingo. My brother talked with his cab driver on Spanish. And is able to understand Spanish at a much better level. All from only using Duolingo for a year. So it seems like, it does work. At least with anec

While this looks good on the surface. The stress and justifications a Director/artists makes to create a movie acts as an effective filter for quality work. Only with a lot of effort from a lot of people is that possible. Without that

I'm annoyed by Ellison saying this as well. But what is new that made this blow up? I vaguely remember seeing this video last year.

Might be, but that's how you end up in a situation where all the technical skill is outside the US and the products inside are a marketing layer over technical efforts. Similar to what ended up happening with china and manufacturing.

I might. It's not just this specific issue, honestly. Throwing wrench on all economies, that my wife and I bet on is what's horrible. Research fund cuts on premium institutes, the wonky arrests etc. Even yesterday, I had to make a

Interesting decision. I'm on the F1 -> H1B pipeline myself as a software engineer. And my wife is a researcher working on Genetic Engineering. Of the both of us, I've been the strong proponent for moving the US. and with each p

Maybe. The workers are involuntary but willing participants, in a grand scheme where the queens and males get to create new generations. But this is possible only if we anthropomorphise a lot. because at the level of ants/bees I'm

I agree but in these cases the genetic variance that is being accumulated, is only limited to a few individuals who more or less don't interact with the world, except through their workers. But the workers themselves have no way of acc

This is wild. But eusocial insect have a lot of bizarre eccentricities in sex determinism. less than 1% of the colony can actually reproduce, every other being is there for the betterment of the 1%. The workers will mutilate, sacrifice and

Hey!! Thanks for sharing this. Your message and the child comment really has given me a perspective that I didn't have before. Something Very practically stoic about it.

I vibe with this entirely. Rust to me makes a lot more sense. The compiler gives reasonable errors, the code structure is clean and it's obvious where everything should go. I just can't deal with Typescript at all. There is a sens

This tracks with how I've been doing my debug logs. I ask the model to create tons of logs for a specific function and make sure there's an emoji in the beginning to make it unique (I know HN hates emojis). Best thing of all, I ca

Everything can be modeled as selling shovels to the miners. We're all building tools for other people. As long the users like a product, I think it's moot to call it shovel selling.
