tldr; I'd like to get in touch and do a deeper dive into the problem so that the solution can be refined. How can I reach out to you?

> I am a little surprised, given the title, that the issue being highlighted is blogspam and the brokenness is basically that science journalists can't fairly capitalize their effort.

I think this was slightly highlighted later in the post but agree that it wasn't stressed enough.

> Science journalism is broken not because spam blogs copy-paste articles. It's broken because the entire ecosystem has the wrong incentives.

I think the two are closely related; the copy-paste behavior contributes greatly to minimizing the window of capitalization. However, it's definitely not the only factor.

> Researchers, many of whom have inadequate statistical training, are academics facing publish-or-perish and weird publication barriers (p-value filtering, premium on sexy new results over well-researched incremental advances). The more senior authors who have tenure and are safe from some of the incentives still rely on lab funding, which is similarly competitive, and also tend to people whose methodological training is substantially out of date. Most journal reviewers are subject matter experts, some with limited statistical training.

That's basically a problem of science, perhaps at the core of it, but not science churnalism I think.

> I see very little evidence this process stems from the article's implied undertone that blog spam is costing legitimate journalists money and starving them of resources they need to do a good job.

You don't think aggregators that built some traction (i.e. Phys.org, MedicalXpress) are taking away opportunities of good journalism? I don't have quantitative evidence for this but the qualitative one is pretty strong (talking to journalists, for example).

> There is no notion of including comment from critical authors, and there is certainly no notion of critiquing the design, replicating the experiment (either a limited replication using the author's code / data, or a more thorough replication to obtain the substantive result)
[...] The problem is the incentives. Imagine a science website that posts only 1/10th the number of posts, but deep-dives all of the ones they do.
[...] This should be especially followed in disciplines like social psychology, applied economics, neuroscience, evolutionary anthropology or evolutionary psychology, medical research, nutrition research, and other fields where experimental or quasi-experimental design are more difficult.

Precisely the raison d'être of something like Health News. I guess this was pointed out near the end of the post. Although realizing it will take some time and traction, it looks like a good starting point.
There is a strong argument I heard, in Japan, that, “everyone should be free to chose their lives, free of a monarch; and that includes the emperor’s family.” Essentially, the emperor is the last unfree person. They must live trapped in their little castle. They must speak differently than all other people. They must not interact with people of their choosing.

A curious point.
I really enjoy the section of the site on engine designs; some of them are even animated, like this bit:

I'm curious as to how this would have an impact. Is there any research demonstrating that keto slows the development of cancer? Or hypotheses on why that would be the case?

Fully agree that it is great to see commercial offerings which help to further decentralize the internet - and by using open source software - as well as ensuring that their is a business model which will keep them available for customers. (Note, that i stated customers and not merely users.) From a capitalist perspective: the more choice, the better it is for consumers - and in this case it generates the side benefit of decentralization. The only thing i nitpick on here is that they really should disclose the underlying open source software that their platforms are based upon. I mean, it really shouln't take much more than a few entries into their FAQs.
That sounds like a terrible experience.

The usual latency should be on the order of 30-40ms round trip.

Suddenly getting a 500ms latency every minute

No one said anything about that. The client should have some form of dead reckoning, and there should be an edge server that maintains connections. With the right kind of game mechanics, no one notices the server disappearing then reappearing behind the scenes. I cite 250ms as a worst case. It should be possible to get the impact as low as the server skipping one frame every few minutes. The clients don't need to skip any frames.

Not so much because I care that people have fake watches, more because the posts point out the subpar quality of the fakes and how you can distinguish the real from the fake, often in quite a bit of detail.

It's amazing that Apple seems to be holding on to their grudge against Nvidia... to their own detriment.

You haven't been able to buy a Mac/Macbook Pro with an Nvidia chip for many years now, and using one in an external enclosure is iffy. So data scientists are increasingly using Linux to do their work.
Yes, but that is happening regardless. Everyone is missing out on good candidates.

Some people can't afford to go to a fancy school and don't have big companies come recruit on campus. Some people can't get certification or evening degrees because they have sick parents/kids to take care of. Some people can't do unpaid internships or make open source contributions that look good on their resume because they rely on the income from a job in retail. Some people can't do well in interviews because they have anxiety or other similar conditions.

I'm sure a lot of them are competent developers, but the reality is that there is no good selection process that tells you that with a good degree of confidence, so you have to look for other signals.
Indeed, that's exactly what it's for. The examples include some audio manipulation processors (like gain, reverb, compression etc) and some generators, from a cheeky little beep through to an analog style polysynth.

The target use is to unify DSP development across different platforms, whether you are developing web based audio, or gaming, or pro audio, you should be able to write your algorithm in SOUL and get it up and running.

Not everything is amenable to numpy and it's pretty easy to make performance worse by throwing numpy at every problem. For example, if your array contains Python objects that are part of an operation, you've likely just introduced a significant performance regression. Worse, there's no way to detect these regressions except to have performance tests. Please, don't understate GIL issues.
So, what's the point of the study if they choose to attack the show and ignore everything else?

If anything, a third factor like mass media talking about suicide among teenagers at the time of the release probably had much bigger effect on teenagers in the US than the show, giving them ideas and all.
I’m surprised by reading this. I worked at The Coca-Cola Company in downtown Atlanta for a few years. What I watched TCCC do to outsiders just boggled my mind. It seems that everyone is jumping on Accenture. I have no love for Accenture. I’ve heard lots of bad about them from before this story. Because I worked at TCCC. I can only imagine the hell that Hertz put them through. This was a five year project trying to get jammed into 15 months. I got the feeling from reading the complaint that the hertz people knew what was being asked for and they didn’t share that with anyone from Accenture. There are rules for successful software development. Hertz violated plenty of them and got what they deserved.

Some really early computers stored bits in waves in mercury. A series of waves would be started at one end of a tube full of mercury and they would be read back when they arrived at the other end. The memory of course then had to be refreshed. Core memory was however much more successful.

Thanks for the reply. Suggestion for the name of the marketplace or community : "Soulfly" sounds good (and probably need to separate it from the "infrastructure" / dev project ?)
Reporting only sensitivity/specificity/ROC metrics and not reporting precision/positive predictive value is a bad sign. Especially since the latter is what health systems will want to look at before deciding on implementation.

The fact that they fiddled with the balance of classes in the test set makes the above even worse.
Genetics can impact your personality but that doesn’t mean you don’t have will power. If all behavior is genetic then eugenics should be morally justifiable since you can improve humanity by cleaning up the gene pool.

Are AI devs (Data Scientists?) really regarded that much higher by the management compared to the regular devs?

Do you think this is special or is it just the current fad that is large enough to reach the management?
My guess is largely no. The diagnosis and actions taken are in isolated environments e.g, a cancer in person B is not impacted by a diagnosis and treatment in patient A. This is not the case in trading where everyone is analyzing and influencing a single messy environment.

No, nothing in the cloud, no system you don't fully control is an option in my IT business. Forever. The only thing I tolerate is something totally irrelevant most of the time, (like statuspage maybe), easily replaceable and package repositories (but only because you can install local proxy so once pulled is on premise FOREVER).
I agree, jitter bigger than a synchronization time is worse than high latency.

I'll always grant that fast twitch FPS will always have a problem with this. That's not the genre I'm interested in creating games for, and it's not what my server framework is designed to support. (It is real-time action, but the pacing is more akin to RTS than FPS.)
Yes. It struck me as odd too seeing familiar apps rebranded. Does Librem publish source code of their modifications?

So does that put stories about suicide off limits, then?
Indeed it would have. I think the worst kinds of surveillance mechanisms are the ones that can cause a lot of suspicion and false positives, but don't allow those affected to refute any allegations. Identity documents are not like that at all. On the contrary.
I remember being maybe 16 to 19 where yes, that was definitely the case. It was a matter of trying to be cool and able to handle my beer like everyone else, and blacking out was respected. However, I know I and most people around me grew up (not to sound negative on your situation, just the best wording I could come up with) and grew out of that. Now it's a matter of enjoying ourselves, and for some people that is a six pack in two hours and for others it is a beer lasting them all evening. Enjoying the drink and socializing has become more important than getting drunk, so someone being much more drunk than anyone else, at least in a negative sense, just doesn't happen.
This isn’t time series data so don’t need to worry about stationarity.
They are charging for hosting, administration and development, not for the apps that are just branded and provided for the convienience. You can use any app you want, or use Librem-branded apps with other servers for free (both as-beer and as-freedom).

I don't think that's actually true. If you're of the mind that you're going to find fault in the messenger to ignore/distract from the message, you're going to find some fault regardless of how well the messenger behaves (and the fault you choose does not have to be related to the topic at hand).

Part of this is because it's very hard to enjoy the company of people who are much drunker than you. And they won't enjoy you if you are much drunker than them, so you have to all be on the same level.

This has to be a personal preference, right? I very much enjoy people at all levels of drunk, stoned, high, whatever.
Not sure that being able to change the graph dynamically is a particularly good way to work with this kind of thing. In almost all synths, and even DAW engines, they only modify the graph when you modify the project, not while things are running, and that's when we expect you'd do a SOUL recompile. There's a much longer discussion to be had over this which I won't dive into now, but we have thought about many possible use-cases and how they'd be done.

Licensing: very permissive for developers; probably commerical deals for companies who want to ship SOUL-compliant hardware or drivers

JUCE dependency: no, we'll want to make this as vanilla as possible, to encourage its use in many ecosystems. There'll be JUCE integration, but also stand-alone C++ and a flat C API so it can be wrapped in other languages like python, C#, Java etc

We'll offer an embeddable JIT VM, but our end-goal with this is for there to be drivers in the OS or external hardware which does the work, and the API would just send them the code (like e.g. openGL shaders)
Doesn't this suggest that computing 2^i is just as hard?

You can compute g^(2^i) by just multiplying g's in the same way that you can compute 2^i by adding 1s, and multiplication is as associative as addition is. Specifying that you want g^(2^i) rather than g^k for some arbitrary k looks like a way of ensuring that a partial product computed in parallel (say, g^3) will be of nearly no value, because every partial product that helps compute the total will already be produced by the single agent doing squares.

So why compute g^(2^i) rather than just 2^i? Is 2^i in fact hard to compute? (In binary representation, it certainly isn't, but maybe 3^i is?)
Thank you. I've not yet been to that part of the world. I've been to the Western Wall, but for me, sadly, it was just a wall.

> Does it support "intersection format"?

It doesn't yet. Are you interested in this for parsing or for code generation?

If for code generation (i.e., LFortran parses your Fortran code, and then generates a Fortran code back in this format), then I think that will not be that difficult to implement, I think this would be useful.

Regarding parsing, for now my parser is for free form. But I think it would be useful to also have a fixed form parser --- it might need to be a separate parser, but the rest of LFortran can be reused.

> Does it have a linter that can remove linenumbers in the easy cases?

Can you give an example of what you mean?

One issue with linting is that currently the parser is not round-trippable (https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran/issues/42). That means that it can generate the original code back, but it will be formatted differently (mostly white space). Most compilers are not round-trippable. The only compiler that I know about that is round-trippable is C#. Essentially one has to keep track of white space and other formatting, and I didn't want this to complicate the internal representation. I wanted to design the internal representation that is as simple as possible. And then see if one can add optional nodes for white space, similarly how C# does it. If it's possible, then I'll do it.

However, even if it is not round-trippable, the linter can simply generate a nice Fortran code back, and if people use the linter like `clang-format`, enforced by the CI, then it might not be a problem.

Here is the current implementation of ASR (Abstract Semantic Representation) to AST (Abstract Semantic Tree):

https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran/blob/f5856fadf8bd0cc479...

And AST to source code:

https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran/blob/f5856fadf8bd0cc479...

We will be extending it this summer to support more Fortran features.

It's mostly about priority at this point --- I want all of the above to be implemented, it's just about what I do first and what second. Feel free to vote or open new issues here:

No, unless the product you are building requires a certain language.

If you are using machine learning in your startup, then the standard language is python. You should use python.

However, if it is just a simple CRUD app, I have seen startups still using Ruby on Rails and Node.js. These are startups that were founded in 2017 2018.

It makes sense because what language you use doesn't matter much. By the time you have scaling problems, you can hire better programmers.
Yes, I realize that removing the stigma around suicide might help that subset of the population that are already in the midst of it, but what about in five years? Ten years? What effect will that have on others?

We can't know for sure, but there is a common theme when it comes to the normalization of anti-social behavior. It helps the one, but hurts the many.

You can look those that have attempted suicide in the eye and tell them not to be ashamed, but could you preach that message to a group of bullied teenagers after seeing the results of this study?
Punny Name Ideas for Food Trucks
The "niche product for a small audience" business model is itself more popular at the edges of a technology cycle than in the middle. At the beginning of a technology cycle, the infrastructure is primitive, the markets are unknown, and so entrepreneurs have to look for small markets of passionate early-adopters that don't care about how primitive the technology is. At the end of the technology cycle, the really big use-cases have already been filled by giant companies that you can't realistically compete with, so you have to look for the smaller niches that aren't worth it for them to enter.

In the middle of the technology cycle, when the mainstream market is aware of the technology but sitting on the sidelines waiting for it to become useful and the infrastructure is just barely getting good enough that you can build high-quality consumer products, there's a mad land-grab to gobble up these giant markets before anyone else does. That's when coding ability is really crucial, because the infrastructure is not yet good enough that just anyone can build a product that's "good enough" for a mainstream market, but it's good enough that the really skilled, dedicated, and talented can.
The article even points out that the study they cite isn't even as conclusive as they want it to be since they also saw a spike in suicide among people who only watched part of the show.

People pay handsomely for better mechanical movements, but that's still an aesthetic choice. The world's most accurate mechanical movement is just not going to be as accurate as a mid-range quartz movement. Paying a premium for something that's mechanical because it's mechanical is the epitome of an aesthetic choice. It's not at all like the Mac vs PC choice, which might have some aesthetics involved, but is still about support, ease of choice, brand reputation, and of course, technical details.

Maybe watches have always been somewhat aesthetic, and while they were made to be pretty in the 1920s, they really did exist as timepieces first and foremost. Now a mechanical watch's main function is the way it makes you feel.
