Ask HN: What's the best way to stay up-to-date on computer science research?
I have a couple friends and we sometimes discuss papers together. In order to find different candidates for paper discussion sessions, I was wondering if there was some sort of a feed I could subscribe to or page I could browse for new research in computer science, distributed systems, theoretical computer science, math, etc. Would anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

> On the order of hundreds out of ~17 million health care workers covered by mandates.

There are 17 million employees in the healthcare industry as a whole, but so far it's a handful of healthcare systems that have announced this firing policy, primarily (but not exclusively) in NY and California, and an even smaller subset has actually gone through with firing people. Of course, even 1% of 17 million healthcare workers is 170,000 people, and even if 95% are vaccinated, that's still 8,500 people to be fired. And 95% is optimistic.

As to the claim that only hundreds have been fired, I'm not sure where you are getting your data. One healthcare provider in NY fired 1400 people[1]. 87% of New York's hospital workers are vaccinated and 64% of New York's general population are vaccinated.

So if the providers in extremely blue areas are faced with firing 13% of their healthcare workers, I'm a little skeptical that only hundreds will be fired, or that this is even a workable plan. But who knows, I don't think anyone has the full count for the nation at the moment. If you didn't just make it up, then please do share your source. More facts and less speculation are needed when discussing this issue.

It doesn't negate "things are bad now too", but you'll need to be more specific if you want to claim that things are "fantastically worse". Specifically, none of my friends have been mugged or threatened with a stabbing recently, though a friends sister was gunned down a bunch of years ago. The SFPD managed to find her killer and bring him to justice finally this year. It's popular to hate on them for being ineffectual but they (and the prosecutors office) got it done.

To be clear, I'm not saying things aren't bad - they are. I'm saying let's not pretend that things were great in the past either.
Who believes they had all the opportunity and just didn't take it? The zeitgeist appears to be there's no opportunity and it's someone else's fault.

I was pointing out why it is so easy to confuse caste and class. You are thinking of the theory of caste system as per the religious texts, while I am talking about how it practically exists in India - it is an undeniable fact that the large majority of the poor in India are from the lower caste among Hindus, while those of the middle and upper class are majorly from the Hindu upper caste. While they are not the same, the actual incidents of class discrimination show how caste and class are unfortunately tied together in India, simply because caste supremacist (wrongly) believe class mobility upsets the legitimacy of the caste system in modern India. For them, the social aspiration of a lower caste to accumulate wealth and increase their social status, somehow de-legitimizes their own caste status in the rigidly enforced system where caste mobility is no longer practiced by today's Hindus.

Quoting the CBO: "Growth of Net Interest Outlays. In CBO’s most recent projections, the cumulative deficit from 2021 through 2030 totals nearly $13 trillion. Borrowing to finance that deficit—at a time when interest rates are expected to rise—would cause net interest payments as a percentage of GDP to increase over that period, from 1.4 percent to 2.2 percent, which is generally in line with the 50-year average of 2.0 percent. Over the long term, interest rates are projected to rise further, and the amount of debt issued is projected to grow, causing net outlays for interest to increase to about 8 percent of GDP by 2050."

I don't believe the current rate of increase is anything close to what was projected.

Also, the chart on debt held by the public is very interesting. Raising rates has some big impacts, even small changes.

Pre-Covid, finding work was insanely difficult for people w/o a job history or w/ even the most minimal of criminal records. The dining sector was a tiny bit better.

As in: Pick a spot on a map here - of the closest 100 biz, maybe one (or maybe zero) would hire someone w/o a job history. Much of that is due to hiring portals which overwhelmingly auto-discard all of these applicants.

Hopefully the employee shortage will pressure businesses to walk back some of these poorly considered hiring practices.

ref: I've a son who spent years trying to get his first job (w/ state cook certs & clean record). He first wasted a great deal of time on endless hiring portals (food and non) that never, ever, ever responded. He then visited businesses in person, working his way further out. He was eventually hired by a buffet - miles away & the closest biz to even consider him. They were also the vanishingly rare biz that hired folks with any criminal record at all - a service that communities sorely need.

He continued applying for jobs and 1 month later he was picked up by a worldwide ALF. They're a good employer and he still cooks for them.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - MSFT is absolutely phenomenal at backwards compatibility, and mad props to them for it.

My comment about "building things cleanly" is more about making a clean break from the past. It's not in their DNA, and since Windows 11 is doing that, I expect they'll hit some bumps in the road.

As for being a "one-off" issue was whether the bugs resulting from the clean break process are just a few, or if there is a whole host of issues that are about to crop up due to the big changes that have been made.

Windows 11 is technically simpler than 10[0], (not sure what the LOC counts are like though), but when changing/removing a bunch of things, I expect they will have issues. It's hard to do when your history is adding things for new features and keeping old code for compatibility - different process & different thinking.

AirBnB has such good brand awareness that it’s not surprising they don’t need to advertise very much anymore”. On the other hand, advertising might be a pretty good investment for their competitors, like VRBO.
Common Model Serving Patterns in Production
>I can't say I wholly agree, although I support the motive. Using the word "understanding" where I think "belief" is a more accurate term is wordplay to maintain a specific worldview. "results" and "better" seemingly avoid precision.

Fair enough.

I am uncertain as to which "specific worldview" you think I wish to maintain. If you'd expand on that, It would be appreciated.

I think it's particularly interesting that this is sponsorware, looks like more and more open source devs with an audience are pulling off this funding model. I also know of Matt Perry who also used this model for his Web Animations API based animation library called motion.dev.
I would definitely argue that public interfaces should not be copyrightable, since you need to be able to freely reimplement them to interoperate, which in my opinion should be preferred over granting even temporary monopolies to software interfaces.

However, public interfaces are only a small part of software interfaces in total. It's getting the system's internal interfaces right that takes most of the work.
I don't think critical thinking will do anyone any good if people abuse critical thinking to have opinions they want to have as opposed to changing their mind.
Yep, and you can add in a worse case still which is
"people with enough background knowledge to sound like they know something, who have a particular motivation for wanting a particular scientific theory to be incorrect, who will never, ever admit to error" taking up the mantle of scepticism about current scientific theory.

In the "marketplace of ideas" practising the scientific method isn't antifragile in the face of such reckless certainty, it's downright fragile, because it's requires being the only side of the argument which will admit that its hypotheses aren't proven and some of its previous theories were wrong. Worse still, when the motivated sceptic has their "stopped clock" moment, practising the scientific method requires conceding they are right. The more science you practice, the more the opponent gets to point to the stuff you've conceded wasn't quite as expected.

Science might become sturdier in terms of better theory in response to attacks (where said attacks are accompanied by experimentation) but it's more vulnerable to losing trust
> So in essence, all this article is doing is complaining about pop science and how we often reduce complex behaviours to singular explanations.

Not a neuroscientist - but I think what irks me about the common pop-science explanations is that they use those terms to establish a boundary between desirable and undesirable behaviours - but do so in a way that feels sort of arbitrary and dishonest.

I think when describing desirable behaviours or activities, we tend to use a more "cognitive" vocabulary that emphasizes a person as a thinking individual, capable of freely making decisions: Thoughts, feelings, memories, motivations, the self, etc.

Whereas when describing unwanted or unhealthy behaviours, we use biological or neurological vocabulary: Hormones, neurotransmitters, neural pathways, dopamine, opioids, the brain etc. [1]

This can create an impression as if those two sets of concepts belonged to completely separate worlds - where one is strongly associated with desirable effects and the other with undesirable ones. This seems very odd as both are simply different perspectives on the same thing after all.

It's sort of as if some highly nontechnical person was really fond of their car - as a magical device that lets them travel quickly and impress others - but believed we'd all be better off without batteries, fuel pumps or catalytic converters as those seem to cause nothing but trouble.

[1] The two big exceptions I can think of are advertising (where unhealthy behaviours are described using the cognitive vocabulary) and research on animals (where any kind of animal behaviour is described using the biological vocabulary).
Huh...that seems a bit excessive.
When governments decide not to punish criminals, this is what happens. Next step is the area is declared a food and services "desert" and lots of welfare funds are allocated because the greedy capitalists won't serve these vibrant neighborhoods.
Not manual work, not low wages (far from it), not likely to be long hours. “Poor conditions” are more open to interpretation, but they are working from their homes, so not “poor workplace condition”.
I like bananas, but it's very difficult to cultivate bananas here.

Also there is no way the government will authorize a steel mill in the middle of a city with a few million people, and I need steel. (And there is no iron ore nor coal nearby.)

So here is the deal. We sell soy beams, and they sell us bananas, steel and cellphones.

I am X-er whose first experience with Perl was working in enterprise software tech support in 1999 and diagnosing a crash due to a syntax that had somehow shipped in the install script for a GA product with a ~$100K annual license/support fee.

While “write once, read never” is hyperbolic, it captures a real issue for Perl compared to many other competitive languages (of which, to be fair, there were far fewer widely supported for the tasks Perl was most often chosen for 20+ years ago.)

That's not to say I don't find some things nice about Perl, and I’d love to be able to spend more time woth Raku which grew out of it.
It's weird that Rand Fishkin has been in the marketing space for so long, but somehow hasn't encountered a single effective performance marketing team that measures their spend well and complements the efforts of SEO and social media marketers (like Rand).

> I feel fairly strongly that r/politics is fine the way it is.

> Contrast this with r/conservative, where > 50% of threads are locked to members only where membership is gained by demonstrating that you only express right-wing opinions (I'm not making this up).

Did you frequent r/politics circa 2016? There was a very obvious point when Bernie supporters and Trump supporters alike were driven out, and where all views essentially became pro-Clinton and pro-establishment overnight.

Before that, it was a place that was pretty inclusive of views from the whole spectrum.
I am a scientist myself (obviously in one narrow field) and my approach to trusting the science is that unless I can myself evaluate the evidence, data, analyses, I'll trust the scientific consensus. I will not necessarily trust single papers, as people may make mistakes, be dishonest etc.
Obviously the scientific consensus may also turn out to be wrong (it happened before), but realistically it's unlikely that I'll have unique knowledge to find this out myself not being expert, so 'trusting' the consensus is my approach.

Also in rare cases where I can actually read and understand the paper outside of my field that may or may not increase or decrease the belief in its correctness. Realistically outside my field of expertise I'll be only able to see things like dodgy statistical methods, small number statistics, crappy plots which are clues of untrustworthy results, but not proofs.

That's exactly the boat I'm in now. I really, really want an iPhone 13 mini because I'm tired of the big ass XS. But other than a more reasonably-sized phone, what do I get? Better cameras? Is that worth the $800? Is that worth giving up the nice, pricey Official Apple Leather Wallet Case(tm) for the XS that's just now getting a little worn in? I don't need a faster processor. More battery life would be nice, but not critical. As much as I try to talk myself into it, I just can't tell myself that the iPhone 13 will do $SOMETHING so much better than my current phone that it is worth upgrading.

A lot of it has to do with the points _fat_santa brings up, and the points I laid out above, but a lot of it also probably has to do with the fact that I'm kinda over phones, too.
Defensive spending to protect otherwise organic traffic could also be called extortion.
It's not just based on the studies though, mainly I formed that opinion by correlating the feeling with drug experiences. I don't think it takes that much exploration before you begin to see the commonalities between them.
Some of us saw it coming and nipped it in the bud, or saw what it was doing to us and did something about it. I cut the cable 20 years ago or so after wasting one weekend flipping through channels, not finding anything I liked, and realized it was a problem and took steps to mitigate it. Same story with FB - a friend got me into Farm Town when that was a thing and I realized I had the choice to make that my life for the foreseeable future or nope out of it.

I'm not the OP, but when I suggest that someone walk away from FB or whatever is causing them problems at the moment and let them know that I did the same, it's supposed to let them know that they do have choices and that it is possible for some people to be able to do that, so maybe they should try it? It's not a lack of empathy, it's a suggestion on how to get out of a problem I very much empathize with.

Of course not everyone can. I have my own problems I consistently fail to nope out of, too.

> 3. Protecting Your Privacy. In its initial rollout on Call of Duty: Warzone, the kernel-level driver will only operate when you play on PC. The driver is not always-on. The software turns on when you start Call of Duty: Warzone and shuts down when you close the game. Plus, the kernel-level driver only monitors and reports activity related to Call of Duty.

The whole thing is that, if you don't want other kernel drivers touching Windows before yours loads, you have to load yours first (at least, I believe that was a point of contention last time). It'll probably be in the same light as how Riot Vanguard works in that it loads pretty early at boot, but only sends data to the server when you open the game.

The tongue in cheek term for this is "JAQing off". JAQ = Just Asking Questions. It is also known as "concern trolling". Any fool who spends the effort to successfully address the face value concern will find that the troll has immediately transitioned to having a new concern which happens to support/oppose the same exact things as the previous.
