If you haven't done any pr for so long, what do you do?

Do you don't work in a Team?

Or aren't you building up a team or org?

Either it's your position to see issues and solve them for the org or it's your job to execute.

If you can't come up with things to do, but it's your job, you should search for a team or product and not for a company.


When I joined my manager had a few onboarding tasks, I did all of those, and started protoyping my first PR. It was actually a pretty meaty open-ended project and in retrospect it was sort of high-effort, low-reward. I iterated on that several times, wrote proposals, solicited feedback, but ultimately nobody really gives a shit about it, so it hasn't gotten shut down or moved forward.

At this point I've kind of accepted the project is dead but my manager is gone. I've put together a few small PRs but they're similarly just in review hell.


Sounds to me that you need to find your team then?


Is there a simulator for all of this?

Or how does a researcher uses those manuals for requesting time?

Or are all request/approvals going through a core tech team?


1. What do you mean by simulator? The wavelength range/sensitivity of the various instruments has been simulated.

2. I think you use this tool to submit proposals: https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-astronomers-proposal-tool-o...

3. They go through a panel to be peer-reviewed and compared to other proposals (similar to how grants are allocated by the government). I'm fairly certain this process also includes review by instrumentation experts. The process is double-blind and the first cycle has already been allocated: https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-execution/approved-progra....


A simulator which would show you what your selected configuration would return for an image.

Like if exposer time etc. Is correct.


They have a tool called APT that lets the researcher define the parameters of the experiment (target object, instrument settings, time, etc) and the software will find an open time slot which can meet those parameters. Then it goes through a double blind scientific review process. The researchers that worked on the telescope hardware get some amount of guaranteed time slots while the rest is used for general observers.

You can see video tutorials on the software here:

Okay! Let's stop ev transition then!

Or we continue to do that ev transition thing but continue to do it with everyone were it is a no brainer first and on the way we solve all the upcoming problems?


And if we continue burning fossil fuels it might never be cold enough for snowstorms any more, problem solved! /S

Who the fuck is this guy writing that stupid ass article... How about you solve the problem of terrible American driving, and lack of winter tyre regulations. Hah, he takes Norway as an example, the country where you have to learn ice driving conditions to get your license..


Apparently they are able to build a DC line 4k km between Australia and Singapore?

If people/countries would have prioritized this kind of stuff, there would be a few more DC cables around the globe.

It is an easy fix to have renewable energy across the globe.

At least in Germany most new build building have solar panels on the roof.


I'm surprised that there is not a non compete.


from a similar reddit comment, apparently non competes are not enforceable in California. not sure if true since I'm not from the US


It's very true and an often under appreciated reason for the healthy startup culture in california.


Sounds to me like reducing the overall production.

What's the befit if fertilizer helps?

That it looks more natural?


Tilling and fertilizing gives you a great yield today, but damages the long term fertility of the land, and pollutes nearby waterways. The best analogy is buying things on credit. You might feel rich at first, but when the debt comes due and you can't afford it bankruptcy is a bitch.

It does require letting some land lie fallow to regeneration, so you need to devote more total land to agriculture, and it also requires fencing and for someone to go move the livestock to a new paddock every few days (though you save on tilling/herbicide application costs). On the plus side the unit cost of everything you produce is lower, and meat is typically much more profitable than vegetables so you've diversified.


They probably have some statistics in the background which tells them some form of Trustlevel.

You also need to assume that there are potentially control pictures in it as well.

I think this is a very liable approach.


I think you meant "viable", not "liable". Given the discussion, your typo is ironically amusing, though.


Yeah, it's not like they will label something a train just because a single person says so. But if you have 10k responses with 95% confidence saying it's a train, it's very likely to be the case.


But GP is describing exactly the opposite: there might be a train that's not immediately visible at a glance, leading most people to not label it.


For unambiguous images almost all humans will label them the same way. For ambiguous ones humans will differ. Presumably they'll accumulate stats on each image and will be able to detect cases like this.


unless a properly obfusicated bot net has seeded the data set with -everything is a train- responses to the tune of >>10k responses with 95% confidence saying it's a train<<


I don't think that anyone who cares about specific CPU features would not know that it shouldn't work and therefore wouldn't risk getting it removed later

Everyone else would not know that this might have a performance impact.


There are plenty of people who don't even do backups for there images.

I believe that cloud storage and autosync fixed the issue of currupted images for most normal users.


Gcp wants 50 cent per ingested log gb.

Gcp is already quite expensive in this regard and you want double.

I think that's way to expensive.
