Exactly this. Imagine one Friday evening, your boss says, “We need this to be done by Monday”

You - “Monday EOD?”

Boss - “Um, no Monday first half”

You - “This seems like a whole day’s work, and it’s already Friday. Are you expecting me to work over the weekend to do this?”

If they really need this to be done, they will explicitly make the request.

You can choose to say “yes” but this also gives you space to follow it up with “but I hope this doesn’t happen too frequently” or “I understand that this is a crunch period and I’d be happy to do extra this one time”.

If you say “no”, you can help them figure out alternative arrangements.

None of this would be easy without them making the explicit request. In a healthy environment, the explicit request would come without any of these games, but we’re not always blessed to work in such places.
AI Scheduling with Rotasheet

I had already explained why one might want to do this:

"Consider the problem of parsing a C program that has NOT been put through the preprocessor. You want to be able to do this for structure editors and source-to-source transformation systems."

One cannot in general parse un-cpped C/C++. But that doesn't mean it's useless to do as well as one can, even if it cannot be parsed exactly. Parsing is for more than just compilers.
That's a circular argument. You're using the assumption of foul play to characterize the response as a cover-up, and the putative existence of a cover-up as evidence of foul play. Be better.
Which actual culprits? It's all wind, and nobody knows about what's really making living things fatter and fatter.

I'd advocate more studies on lecithin, because it became absolutely ubiquitous about 40 years ago, in all the food actual poor fat people consume on an hourly basis: cereals, margarine, chocolate, puddings, cookies, etc.

This looks great!, but since a filesystem doesn't need most of the git features (decentralization, merging, etc). How does this compare to ZFS, btrfs, since they allow "snapshots" of filesystem to be stored and restored quickly similar to how git works.

Not sure if serious, but I disagree. I think scientists playing games with public perception is a big part of what undermined their credibility in the first place. Also this article talks about Ariely loudly promoting his own work after claiming he already should have known it failed to replicate. If scientific studies are being used to drive public discourse, then debunking them should be public discourse too. The very strength of science is its ability to be self-critical. The mechanics of that shouldn't be hidden away.
But that is not what was announced, and very little of the hard problems involved in building an actual humanoid robot like the one Musk announced are relevant to building what you suggest.
It matters very much if one company grabs all your data and combines it, vs lots of separate companies having small bits of your data.
Do you also believe that correlation implies causation? Because it's practically the same thing. A conspiracy requires that people conspire, i.e. coordinate. Correlated action is entirely possible without conspiracy, as is evident during any traffic jam or holiday shopping rush.

My comment started with that phrase because that's what it was about, but I guess the wording confused people?
What do you know about Rotasheet?
How about instead of applying to journals with a finished study, people would apply with a proposal of a study and then publish the results independent of how spectacular/boring they turn out?

Journals would then have to select studies based on their design and based on the question and scientists could just do science.
In the social sciences? If they're reproducing the earlier results with the original data and code, the results should be exactly the same.

If they're replicating with a follow-on study of some kind, it depends on any number of factors, since it's almost impossible to do a follow-on survey-based or lab experiment or use a similar or newer dataset while accounting for and controlling exactly the same set of conditions (this is one of the issues that I've heard used to distinguish between hard and soft sciences).

E.g., if paper A has an observation count of 200 (insert your preferred number), a replication study could hand out exactly the same survey to another 200 respondents and get similar results that, nonetheless, fail to exactly replicate the earlier findings (or, over a small number of samples, fail to conform to a normal distribution).

This doesn't mean that the original study was "bad science" or that the social sciences in general are "bad", only that we have to temper our expectations and maintain a healthy dose of skepticism.
Anything they're likely to get in a rich country will be safe and effective. Can't speak for places like Egypt of course, but you make it sound as if there is real risk involved for people on HN which there generally is not.
In fiction writing this pattern known as “Burly Detective” Syndrome, see https://www.sfwa.org/2009/06/18/turkey-city-lexicon-a-primer..., https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BurlyDetectiveSy...
I don't think that is correct unless you have a very narrow "market" in mind. Both Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and PC vendors sell gaming hardware. And both Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and Steam own stores that sell video games. Sure, Nintendo's hardware and software has some distinguishing features. But, they still all compete for gamers attention and money.

As a case in point, it's clear that Nintendo themselves think they are competing with Microsoft, Sony, and the PC space. They pay tons of money to game developers in order for their games to not show up on Xbox, PS, and PC. That would make no sense unless there was some actual competition. I could mention Hades and Monter Hunter Rise as two recent examples where Nintendo paid money to devs in exchange for exclusivity.

There’s a difference in phase locking and frequency locking. It’s hard to phase lock to an atomic reference for long periods of time. Usually atomic clocks offer correction of the frequency drift of the oscillator. So the phase of the oscillator can still wander over large time scales.

Really? Covering up a messy truth because you perceive it as not politically expedient strikes me as the exact opposite of science. That road leads to worse knowledge, not better.
No worries, a lot of people search about EMP every day. Smaller EMP devices were (are?) commonly used to rob poker/slot/vending machines. I have no idea of the truth behind this, but there are homemade devices being sold online, sometimes disguised as "research" devices with photos showing how they can turn on a CCFL lamp from distance, while others blatantly declare their purpose.

Hopefully it will become more common practice.
Anti-science people tend to be conspiracy-minded and believe that the establishment is a homogeneous group that is trying to mislead the public.

Creating an actual conspiracy to mislead the public is not a good way to fight this perception.
I disagree. Constant re-evaluation of evidence and improvement of working theories are essential to science. Science needs transparency and honest critique.

Acknowledging falsified results is not an attack on science, it is how science works. It shows that science is not a mysterious cult of knowledge conspiring to hide information and deceive others, but rather the collective effort of imperfect humans who want to understand the universe and make things better for us all.

The Firefox addon review process is experiencing problems
I never said it was impossible, but I did say that I "ruled out" a quad. I meant very unlikely, not that it was impossible. There are quads that have >1 hour endurance, and there are quads that can do 100 mph, but none that can do both, even with gas. To make a quad that can go 100 mph and stay in the air for an hour is a crazy big stretch of existing capabilities. I'd love to see an example, because none of these come close: https://blog.dronetrader.com/list-of-the-top-hybrid-gas-elec...

There are also non-hybrid quads, but again, none of them can deliver the performance observed by these pilots: https://www.mydronelab.com/blog/gas-powered-quadcopter.html

I said in another comment that my bet is on an RC plane. A fixed wing is much more likely to achieve that kind of speed with the endurance. Considering that the pilots didn't provide a good visual description I think it's the safest bet. I'm not going to worry about how it might be possible to make a quad that can do this when an obviously feasible solution is staring us in the face.

> I see the exact same duopoly as in Apple-Google world. There's Sony and Microsoft(with no independent app stores). Nintendo isn't in the same market as the other two.

Nintendo might be a running joke amongst hardcore gamers but ironically they're the most successful console manufacturer out there.

The Switch is going from strength to strength and I'd estimate it will outsell the Playstation 4 before Nintendo retire it (it's been outselling the PS4 since 2019 already but that's to be expected given the expectation of the PS5). And from the same trial that bought us this submission we've seen Microsoft admit that they've never made a profit on the Xbox. Let's also not forget that games on the Switch are typically more expensive than the same game on other platforms. And that's without even touching the topic of Nintendo's 1st party games -- they make an absolute killing on their IP. Animal Crossing, for example, was seen by many as the unofficial game of the 2020 lockdown.

I predict Nintendo's market position will only get stronger too. With many Xbox fans giving up on buying new consoles because they're basically just PCs at this point. So switching to PCs that can be upgraded over time and still have access to Xbox content. Plus the struggles Sony have had just shipping their latest consoles and many gamers there saying they might just stick with the PS4. Yet Nintendo have calved out their own corner of the market that sits between the ultra competitive hardcore market and casual gamers who want more than crappy mobile apps. And it's a segment that's increasing in size too.

It'll be interesting to see how Valves offering does. I can't see it competing with the Switch directly but it might take more market share away from Sony and Microsoft given Valves new portable offers the capability of desktop gaming on the move.

So anyway, back to your point. You might scoff but actually Nintendo are in a far more stable and successful position than Sony and Microsoft (with regards to consoles).

Right, primary radars designed for 0.5m² radar cross section aren't going to see these things. Especially if they're 3d-maneuvering like mad. You need very different radars for drone tracking and I'm not sure the US's radar infra has caught up. Even less on civilian surveillance mission's.

This is so not true on many levels. Science is not about being right every time. Positive experimental findings can turn out to be wrong even if the study was excellent. This is called a type 1 error, and indeed they are guaranteed to happen with 5% probability assuming every study is conducted correctly and people don’t cheat.

Also, I don’t think you understand that there is a difference between “replicate” and “reproduce” as those terms are typically used in social and biological science. Reproduction refers to the methods and is simply conducting the experiment again, regardless of the outcome. An experiment should be reproducible, of course—if it isn’t, the paper was poorly written (the experiment might still be ok though).

Replication refers to the results: do we get the same answers as the original experiment? Bad science is one way an experiment might not replicate but other reasons are 1. Just a regular type 1 error in the original study, 2. A type 2 error in the new one, 3. an overlooked methodological difference or mistake somewhere. No. 3 doesn’t mean bad science, it could be just normal scientists making normal mistakes, as they sometimes do.

Also, you don’t “hypothesize” an experiment. You come up with a hypothesis then test it with an experiment. (Sometimes scientists HARK but that’s a different discussion …)

In this case, it sounds like there truly was some cheating going on of the worst kind (data fabrication).

Author here. Thanks for the stylistic comments, folks. I purposefully did this in about 30 minutes in stream-of-consciousness format. It should be off-putting and odd. It's not like most of the polished (and admittedly marketing) material you see elsewhere on HN. I hope I didn't waste anybody's time.

My own research flow is to read and consume a lot on the material I'm trying to absorb, then try to put that into some kind of essay, either to others or to myself, once I think I have something useful that's resulted. Then, if I'm working on a larger work, months later I come back and collect the associated works and use them as a basis for a first draft of long-form material.

I had no idea it would get many votes. Frankly, I wanted to share this with another site but whenever I share there, it gets auto-posted here. So I figured I would go ahead and submit here myself if it was going to show up in the feed anyway.

If anybody is interested in carrying on the discussion please ping me! I'm finding it fascinating to develop a meta-model that covers both machine, human, and organizational learning. Not sure that anybody's done that before. So far it's been a hoot.

Story of My First Software Development Internship
If you are curious how Sam is creating these chips, he has a video [0] about his maskless [1] photolithography machine here. He built it ("cobbled it together", in his words) from a microscope and a DLP projector. The microscope is used in reverse, so he's feeding the image into the wrong end (i.e. where the ocular would be) and uses the optics to concentrate it onto the wafer. The DLP was modified by removing the color wheel because that attenuated the UV radiation that is wanted to cure the photoresist on the wafer. A lot of his equipment is home-built, which, as I would guess, saves him a lot of money.

[1] A photomask is a plate with the patterns of the features of the design that will be projected onto the wafer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomask
Not quite. That's the common misinterpretation of p-values as probabilities that a study is correct. The p-value isn't the probability of the hypothesis being wrong given the data. It is instead the probability of the data given the hypothesis being wrong.

In order to determine what proportion of studies would fail to reproduce, you would also need to know the number of correct hypotheses in the first place. If 100 correct hypotheses and 900 incorrect hypotheses are tested, your sample of "p<0.05" results would contain 95 correct hypotheses and 45 incorrect hypotheses, so about 1/3 of the results would fail to replicate.

This is why there is such a large push for prepublishing of analysis methods, hypotheses, and experimental design, and later publishing of negative results. The initial distribution of hypotheses is important to know how to interpret the resulting body of work.

I agree that we only have the choice between the devil and the deep blue sea concerning mobile OS.

But why is iMessage so great (asking as a non-apple user)? Is it even e2e?

Great alternatives which are not locked into a specific OS are Signal, Threema, and Matrix.

Specifically, Matrix -- which is also a protocol -- looks quite interesting to me. Similar to email, you can choose your client software. You are also free to set up your own matrix server but you don't have to.
Incentivizing publishing negative results is a challenge.
This has so much in it
If top scientists are willing to outright manufacture data, how many would be willing to intentionally follow unsound logic? As in dishonestly claiming some (legitimate) data implies something that it doesn't or intentionally avoiding alternative explanations. You'd have to assume there's even more of that and all other kinds of soft fraud going on.

Ideally planning data production, execution of data production and analysis would all be done by different people and published separately. At the very least you'd want total transparency at each stage.
