Hum, on retrospect, my ISO might be just corrupted. I have never tried to redownload it.

I never know gnome has a image writer tool, and would you please let me know what “dd” stands for?

recently I have encountered a problem with this, it is indeed not so straightforward to create a bootable windows 10 USB instillation media under linux.

The media created by fedora media writer is not bootable and the media created by ventoy lacks drivers. I was then able to create a media quite easily with the last windows machine in my household. I don’t know if it is a temporary bug or fundamental incompatibility.

So I would suggest you to keep a windows installation media at hand in case you need to switch back, or make sure at least one of your friend has a windows machine you can borrow.

Although I have no doubt that, like every other field, academia is filled with politics; and publishing process probably helps enforce such politics.

However, I would argue that modern academic publishing is absolutely necessary to produce “useful” science. In order for people to build upon others’ result, they will need strong guarantee of correctness; and top conferences saves researcher a lot of time to find impactful new research, especially new ideas.

That being said, I am absolutely not suggesting the publishing system is not without uts problem, but I am kind of agreeing with LeCun here, publishing is a important part of the process, and it is will probably last longer than tesla or elon.

ladder climbing in academia is not fun, but I feel like communicating (or marketing) science is a essential part of scientific process, as this is the only way for our work to maximize their impact.

A famous professor once told me “we are all entertainers”, which seems absurd from an outside prospective, but is a notion that I and many of my colleague has now taken peace with.

Scrambled and unreadable mathematics in the end should seldom be valued in modern science community, IMO; not everyone is Ramanujan after all. Even among geniuses, from Poincaré to Hilbert to Godel to Grothendick and to Tao, most genius are able to communicate their research quite well, and thrive in academia.

With all these “she” talk in this comment section, I was like when did LeCun change gender?

I don’t even do anything remotely related to AI, but I know LeCun is a dude.

There are open access platform that is more reputable than git, like arxiv or hal.

Plus most conferences, at least in my field, supports open access. But unfortunately for some of them, you do need to pay a fee in order to get the article to be open-access.

The prestige of the conference/journal is still the best way to get your article known, as of now.

And this is the real game of monopoly, of course.

Sorry, sir, I like shit.

I imagine it wouldn’t hurt as much as a whip, but probably equally intimidating.

Dare I ask which country speaks words that cannot be truer.

Edit: saw your instance…

巧妇难为无米之炊 – “even the cleverest house wife cannot cook without rice”.

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/巧婦難為無米之炊

Is blue sky “instance” just sub-domains of bsky.social ?!

There is also sexual assult allegation from their previous employee madison:

https://old.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15shoyx/madison_on_her_ltt_experience/

I believe this investigation is primarily related to that allegation.

I thought the name is pretty fun.

Prism refract boring white light into its colorful component. This process is kind of like spliting a single x86 instruction into several arm instructions. In the meantime also conveys the message that arm is “cooler”, because colored light out of a prism is prettier than the input white light.

I hope my next PC can be a risc-v one, ideally, open source OS, running on open source firmware, with a open source instruction set.

I want to see everything open source band together, just so that I can be forced to use slack for work.

Do you imagine slack will feel ashamed running on top of this many open source code?

It is time to hold mother nature accountable!

At this point, I just stopped citing any article paywalled by elsevier, and only their arxiv counterpart.

If anyone ask, I will argue that I cannot obtain the version published by elsevier and have only read the arxiv version; hence citing the elsevier version would be disingenuous.

sounds like another app to fuel over-consumption.

I think clear signage and message on the bill indicating “tipping is optional, service charges is included in the menu price” should suffice.

Making tipping illegal goes too far, but I am okay with implementing it for couple decades, in order to correct a bad habit.

since most western outlets are causally dismissive of the claims.

It is interesting you didn’t give any western media the benefit of the doubt, while giving CCP plenty.

After a quick google search, it seems like there are several court documents for Zhang’s case circling the internet:

• https://chinachange.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/张展-刑事判决书_-文字及照片.pdf
• https://www.nchrd.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Zhang-Zhan-indictment.pdf
• https://wqw2010.blogspot.com/2021/01/blog-post_49.html?m=1
• https://cppc1989.blogspot.com/2019/12/cppc00831.html?m=1
• https://www.rfa.org/mandarin/yataibaodao/renquanfazhi/ql1-11162020065301.html/ampRFA

There are two different versions, one judgement, one indictment (copy). Their contents seems to match, and they also match the reports of various media articles.

The indictment mentioned neither “the lie” nor “the truth”, which, in my mind, is probably why most media never reported it.

The document only mentioned:

故根据现查明的事实可以证实 张展通过微信、“twitter”(推特)、“YouTube”(油管)等网络媒介发布的相关文章、视频及接 受采访内容均与武汉市实际防控疫情的客观实际情况不符。

according to current known fact, the related article, videos, and interview by Zhang Zhan on wechat, twitter, youtube, differ from the objective truth of situations in Wuhan.

I was not able to find any court document from official source from China/CCP. Since all these articles are either photos or transcribed from photo, I don’t imagine the original documents are easy to find. It seems like the original document can be obtained from: https://wenshu.court.gov.cn/ (according to the title of the website, and Chinese government owned domain name), but they require personally identifiable information (like phone number, which is connected to ID in China) after I typed in 张展 (Zhang Zhan).

But since you clearly know more about China and CCP than I do, so you might want to give it a try.
