A new breed of academics has appeared whose jobs is to put their names in every paper possible. Literally, their job is to work on frameworks to buy co-authorship.

They do this in various ways, like establishing paper pipelines, collecting rents on labs and committees, focusing on money layer, using their profiles and citation count to help with acceptance of papers of other people , etc. You talk to them and they can’t explain their papers beyond a superficial introduction.

They collect huge citations, travel and give talk on the winner horses, collect credit, which feeds back into this fraudulent scheme. A scientist used to be a scientist not long ago, not a credit collector.

I wonder if Google could invent a new metric to expose them (weak ratio of first authorship, etc).

Docker sandboxes do that. They take quite bit of resources though, almost same as a standard VM.

I need to mount directories or remove after creation easily, like I do with containers.

Gateway would be good too.

Firewall needs more functionality.

Yeah, for non-X86 devices, getting to U-boot with pressing a combination of PINs in particular order and conditions and releasing at right time is a pain.

I think I wasted $100,000 in salary for $100 more in device cost, in setting up an OpenWRT router.

Apart from installation and upgrades, the OS itself is nice, very flexible and capable.

Indeed, I was referring to Attended Sysupgrade in luci or CLI.

How about OPNSense on open hardware of your choice, and passing messy wireless to separate AP?

OpenWRT is very good, but the installation and upgrades are not easy. There is a zoo of images for different hardware, installation options and tools. It has to run on small devices, so there are limitations. The documentation on Wiki is scattered and could be improved.

I had to search forums for weeks for a custom package installation for my router. Right now I have been trying to upgrade to the latest version via LUCI for a while, and it stucks. Probably have to wait for few weeks, go through CLI and maybe search forums again.

I just thought I am paying a hefty time price for a bit more expensive x86 mini pc and AP.

Docker has introduced sandboxes for this purpose.

Terrible website, filled with advertisements and constant pop ups.

You probably need a template for the page format and style, which you customize and expand writing your HTML. Otherwise starting from scratch, the page will be ugly without a lot of coding.

What’s the best way to get the template?

Any issues with new docker sandboxes? They are microvm.

Companies such SpaceX are not built primarily by CEOs, rather by thousands of engineers, staff members, and state and private funders. Many of them are top graduates of best universities in the world. CEOs play important role too, of course, but they work as hard as engineers.

It’s a scam: people like Musk take credit for the work of thousands of people and even states. It’s ridiculous that a few people capture the value commonly generated.

We can go back to decades of public funding of research and development through taxes at universities and other public institutions, that’s a separate post.

Does anyone know when will prices for RAM and drives drop to 2025 levels?

The question is to buy or wait.

It has become true now though!

I have a subscription which I want to cancel but can’t because there are other users. Basic features require upgrading.

For many conditions such as this one, we need a process to free these people pain free medically. Having seen a stroke patient, these patients need a team of people, just so that they move eyes or a finger. They are in some kind of minimally conscious or vegetative state. Enormous costs to those around them, bigger issue is they suffer greatly before they finally go which could have been a while ago. Doesn’t worth it.

Top graduates in France make 40-50k. This is the reality I have seen. Salaries are often tabulated with limited range.

If you apply for immigration status and are rejected, sure you can apply for immigration again if you gain much better qualifications. I haven’t seen many successful examples though.

People are deemed to have immigration intent for small things like they don’t have enough ties to their country of residence. An application for immigration is definite proof you had intent to immigrate. You can wait like ten years, but time doesn’t work in your favor (immigration gets harder every year, people get older and handcuffed elsewhere…).

I should have been more precise, yes. But the majority of non-immigrant visas are single intent. H1B requires 100K and if you can’t first enter to see people and attend interviews, chances seem slim in these circumstances, if H1B program is not altogether scrapped.

One issue (apparently a feature) that may arise is that, if application is rejected in consular proceeding, the applicant is locked out from usa. AFAIK, if someone applies for an immigration visa in usa, they will not be able to obtain non-immigration visas in the future. A refused green card application might be the end of being ever in usa. The person may have to truely exit USA since there may be no way back (close bank account, sell property and assets, etc).

If the person adjusts status in usa, there are more possibilities for appeal etc.

It’s interesting that a French company can compete at international level to some extent, given the regulations, labor laws and generally the business unfriendly environment. I suspect they capitalize on the preference of European governments to use EU products, but might be wrong.

There was perhaps no detected bug or attack. There have most likely been bugs or attacks that reproducible builds would have prevented.

Bookstack.

It stores pages in a database, but you could export them in markdown. Web interface is mobile friendly, essentially an app.

Is there a reason to consider Inkscape instead of Tikz?

It seems to me Tikz does the same but programmatically.

Does it implement the hybrid version ML-KEM-768 + X25519 or ML-KEM-768 only ?

The X25519 key could remain in hardware keys for a while til manufactures catch up.

How is the quality of browser extensions compared to Bitwarden?

Dropbox is literally the worst anmong all. For every little feature, like setting a password it requires upgrading your already paid plan. It’s slow and offers nothing.

I put a Nextcloud snap on a VPS in the same city. Fast and no limitations.

How would he know? Did he publish papers on it?

You can’t just throw “Grover’s algorithm is difficult to parallelize” etc. It’s not same as implementation, especially when it gets to quantum computers. It’s very specialized.

I don’t know why the author likes AES 128 so badly. AES 256 adds little additional cost, and protects against store now decrypt later attacks (and situations like: “my opinion suddenly changed in few months”). The industry standard and general recommendation for quantum resistant symmetric encryption is using 256 bit keys, so just follow that. Every time he comes up with all sorts of arguments that AES 128 is good.

Age should be using 256 bit file keys, and default to PC keys in asymmetric mode.

It’s dopamanic because some of the previous pains are gone, but soon you will get new pains and frustrations.

How much more lightweight is firecracker compared to a minimal image vm?

Because one could simply create a proper lightweight vm.

What is the best way to sandbox LLMs and packages in general, while being able to work on data from outside sandbox (get data in and out easily)?

There is also the need for data sanitation, because the attacker could distribute compromised files through user’s data which will later be run and compromise the host.
