@tijsvd mentioned that the callback model usually requires more allocation, which Rust is eager to avoid. I'll add that the wakeup/polling model plays much more nicely with Rust's ownership and borrowing rules. Callbacks usually need to hold pointers to the objects that they capture. In a GC'd language, this usually isn't a big deal, other than sometimes causing some surprising leaks. But in Rust, where the compiler wants to keep track of how long pointers live and which objects are aliased, it gets real ugly real fast. The wakeup/polling model sidesteps this nicely, because the no one besides the task itself holds any pointers to the objects that a task owns.
I don't see how this can work in practice. At some point, you'll have an application with an SAT go up against an application without one for the same seat. Either a really good SAT score will push that one up (meaning not submitting an SAT score hurts application #2) or the score is ignored, meaning it doesn't actually help to include it.
Ross Teixeira, the PhD student that did this, had the brazen nerve to post this lie on Twitter:

Responses to the study have been overwhelmingly positive, and I particularly appreciate the notes of encouragement that some websites have sent. We look forward to sharing results in the coming year, with the goals of identifying best practices and informing future policy making.

There's two bits of controversy:

1) Slander: He claims that the way EE is taught is a "lie" but leaves out the many ways that standard EE models agree with his result.

2) Clickbait / inadequate explanation: he leaves out many details in order to make his experiment seem far more mind-blowing that it really is.*

Critique 1 can be countered by saying he is targeting a lay audience (say, they took 1 high school physics course).

Critique 2 can be countered by saying he is targeting a slightly more advanced audience who would understand those details (say, 1 or 2 college courses).

But no matter who you think he's talking to, at least one of these critiques holds.

* In particular: a) He doesn't explain how "1/c" is derived from the 1m gap. b) He portrays the electrical field as totally detached from the layout of the wires. But if you rearrange his lightsecond-long wires to be a circle, the effect won't happen. c) He leaves out the fact that this experiment works even if you cut the ends of the wires, which would change many people's intuition (think of the wires more like antennas). d) His thought experiment is actually wrong: see Electroboom's video, but basically by Derek's own parameters the light would _always_ be turned on.

I have made a mistake in a Linode VPS once, and it was coopted into a botnet. When they detected the problem, they took it offline and I received an email from the support. As soon as it was fixed, I emailed them and they put it online again.
I'm always amazed at how people around me really think this way. Yes, every high school chemistry teacher is a meth overlord, and you can just walk into Bank of Spain and rob it, haven't you seen it? facepalm
It's not sufficient that a metric be objective. The student's astrological sign is objective. But it's not a useful measure of college readiness.

Standardized test scores do very little to predict college success when controlling for other variables. And they're trivial to game.

They're a relic of back when people believed in IQ tests were useful selection criteria. Maybe there will be standardized tests in the future that are more useful, but we don't have those yet.
if you have a shitty class rank and you submit a stellar ACT score, it will still count in your favor, that has not changed. They just don't require you to submit it.
Those are the same groups?
I think the takeaway is that EMI looks flat for a while if you run half a kilometer of wire next to a half-a-kilometer long source of EMI.

The leading edge isn't there for one nanosecond and then gone, it travels down and continues to induce a current to the adjacent conductor, a current which must continues to flow.
Wow! This looks fantastic.

I’m a big fan of this company and their products. My Advantage 2 just broke this week. I had a really great exchange with their support today, we went from initial contact to replacement part shipped VERY quickly over just a couple emails. I’m not particularly bothered by it breaking — I have a spare and I appreciate that they can just send me a new cable assembly and call it a day. If I was on the market for something portable, I’d pickup this new one in a heartbeat.
Anecdotally, I've found that more prestigious professional schools -- law, medicine -- weight standardized testing higher. The less prestigious, more regionally focused ones, care more about GPA. This is different from undergraduate schools. I've met several people who applied to a large number of professional schools and were only admitted to the top tier. It could be due to the randomness of admissions, but the sample is large enough to convince me.
Why aren't more people using this?
Most of my professors in college were awful. I didn’t understand why.

I just read a great book - Teaching Community, by bell hooks - which helped me understand why my college education was of such poor quality.
>In 1929 : Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. JFK's father, claimed that he knew it was time to get out of the stock market when he got investment tips from a shoeshine boy. On that moment Joe Kennedy had the intuition that we were at the end of the bull market and subsequently he decided to short the market and became .. multi-millionaire !
I think "the point is being missed" in the Veritasium video, because it is obscured. It's obscured to increase the "gotcha and unintuitivity factor". Veritasium more or less makes it sound like all the interesting parts of the circuit goes through the direct line-of-sight path between the battery and the light bulb, and ignores the wire. Which is misleading.

Derek would not have written tweets like this one, if his video had been more direct about what he was talking about:

https://twitter.com/veritasium/status/1462115954775654405

"Basically yes - you can think of it like two antennas"
Facebook can't moderate shit because they are afraid to become a publisher. "Fact checkers" are as horrible as it sounds, power hungry censors. Reddit's zero-paid moderators are worse. Twitter's employees are constantly high on their own drama flagging everything that doesnt suit their favourite flavor of wokism. How the hell did we end up with this situation?

I want forums and blogs back.
Is that simply one aspect of cultural dialectics[1] or am I missing something?

Most people didn't have EE education at college level. Transmission line or radio wave carrying energy is a concept usually taught much later in ones schooling. Derek basically want to target mass market that receive basic electrical knowledge that actively tells you electric "only" flows in cable. A lot of people replying to his video subsequently demonstrate that Derek is right that these group of people have the not exactly right idea taught at school. Some people replying wishing to show he is wrong completely missed his message.

I got banned from IG before I could even log in the first time. I signed up with an email address since I don't have a FB account, and on my first login attempt it said my account was banned. I figure it's the same dark pattern that twitter does where they give you the "option" to not give them your phone number, but they'll auto-ban you and say they need a phone number to verify you're human.
Interesting, did HN respond, or was it considered spam?
Done, thanks. I'm not sure what the difference is between that and their RIA (https://ria.princeton.edu/report-concern), but now I've reported it to both.
> booted off

The context is missing without my original sentence. "Network was booted off." Obviously not my account but "network access" and i could only connect through the console through their web dashboard.

> Could be, but my guess is not.

According to the files i found and the zipfiles he left behind. There would be a huge confidence of similar timing and folders involved. He even named the zip similar to the work he did.

I also know how botnets work, backups and security updates. I already took measures as mentioned before.

I never said and/or blamed DO for it. I'm not running sites on it, but some personal stuff as i mentioned ( again).

I just stated the situation as it was in my original comment and wanted some insights on how ( and mostly if ) it could be handled better...

Tbh. I handled your guesses in my original comment already at the time and you seem to be focusing on attacking my explanation of the situation instead of my only question and answering questions i didn't ask and already resolved. Which is really frustrating to respond too... As you're not talking to me, but a reader of the comments.
There seems to be a lot of bending over backwards here to say over and over again the SAT/ACT aren't objective. I'm not discounting the role socioeconomic status, parental influence, school district, family income etc. have on one's life, but at the end of the day if you get more questions right, you have a higher score. That's what objective means. We can talk about making the test more equitable, whether or not we should do that, and whether or not that's a good thing for college admissions specifically or education in general, but it doesn't change the fact that the tests are by definition objective measures of whether or not you know the things on the test at the time you take it.
I posted an example in a sibling comment:

Runner is to Marathon as XXXXXXXX is to Regatta

If you grew up on the coast in a wealthy family, you have a much higher chance of knowing what a Regatta is and that it involves boat races.
It’s such a low throughput requirement I think even bitcoin could support it.
I don't understand why you reacted so strongly. I feel like it's not a big deal to receive a message like that; what am I missing?
> some electricity

I think the key part of the controversy is the word "some".

In the original Veritasium video it pretty strongly implies that enough energy to light the bulb, i.e. virtually all the electricity, is traveling instantaneously a short distance rather than "through" the wire.

A big part of that video is to essentially say you're wrong if you understand electrons moving through the wire as how electricity works.

The video posted here tells a different story which is essentially that the mental model of electrons flowing isn't that far off, but there is a bit of nuance when you take into account fields.

This is sort of a persistent problem with "edutainment". I generally enjoy Veritasium, but this is clearly a case where the education component is weakened in order to increase the "wow!" factor of the video.
I've gotten 4 of these mails to 4 of my domains (including my personal domain used just for email, and a one-page documentation site for an open source library)... 2 about CCPA and 2 about GDPR. They also gave me a lot of anxiety for no reason. Looking at the responses on Twitter, a lot of websites spent real money consulting lawyers before responding to these mails due to the thinly veiled threat of legal repercussions at the end of each one.
The flag needs to be removed, this article is spot on. Of course the people who do all these things cannot stand when the truth is spoken.
Indeed; there is way too much identity politics now. It's all identity politics.

Dems had a chance with Trump to rise and be above the identity politics, and to focus on more universal goods, such as the rule of law, having a non-conspiracy based response to covid (Trump lowered the bar so much lol), etc. I don't think they properly seized it.
This assumes that you're creating a transaction per message, which I think is not advisable.
For us to grow beyond entrenched binaries takes self awareness. Could you perhaps see how another doctor who hs caused harm before may have believed they were truly only doing good - and this could have been enabled by them being barraged with ethics reviews?
"What do you mean i caused harm i have to do all these things to prove that i dont do harm"
Meanwhile history shows clearly the sacrifices that were taken.
> Another way of putting this is that the question, "what are the facts?" is complex enough to already recreate the entire political and ideological contest. It's understandable that people would like to reduce that contest to a simpler subset of factual questions—but you can't. Just the opposite: that apparently simpler subset reduces to it.

Great point, which reminds me of 1960s "English Prime (E-Prime)", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime

> a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be, including all conjugations, contractions and archaic forms ... D. David Bourland Jr., who had studied under Alfred Korzybski, devised E-Prime as an addition to Korzybski's general semantics in the late 1940s. Bourland published the concept in a 1965 essay ... Albert Ellis advocated the use of E-Prime when discussing psychological distress to encourage framing these experiences as temporary ... and to encourage a sense of agency by specifying the subject of statements.
I think the controversy is because that while being technically correct (bar a couple of mistakes) there are two main issues:

1) To get the result presented heavily depends on the experimental setup and this appears to be hand-waved away (or for the cynics: deliberately obscured) as it would detract from the impact of the video.

2) The definition of "ON" in the video is not what anybody would reasonably define as "ON". This is not discussed in the video therefore potentially comes of as deceptive.

As an electronic engineer I actually initially found the video confusing. I wasn't familiar with Veritasium before and I will admit my initial visceral reaction was "Oh he's just one of THOSE YouTube's and needs his clicks".

It wasn't until I went back through to understand Veritasium's unspoken assumptions, simplifications and a couple of medium mistakes that I could say: yes this is technically correct.

Personally I think with some better choice of wording the pitchforks wouldn't have come out as they have.

Edit: Added word for clarity.
> Even with a terrible show they can always quote critics saying something positive…

Many years ago when movie times and reviews were posted in newspapers, I recall seeing a print ad for a movie that had the quote “X is like a beach vacation…”. The movie was beyond terrible and I was curious of the source so I dug up the actual review. The full line was: “X is like a beach vacation, except you’re not invited.”

Wow, I just checked and I was deleted as well sometime in the last six months or so after a decade or so of existence. I'd deleted my old posts and left only one post that said "I don't post on Facebook, please check me out on Twitter."

Now it doesn't even say I'm suspended; it just says that no account can be found with my password, even though it prompted me (after entering username and password) to find out if a totally different account, but with a similar name, was mine.

This is actually quite funny. I'd struggled with the decision of whether to delete my account entirely, but I doubted whether it would actually be deleted or not. I bet this is a more thorough method of deletion than if I'd gone through the multi-week deactivate-wait-delete process!

In my opinion, objective truth does not exist. “Fact-free argumentation" is good and desirable.
Mimetic theory, while not entirely complete, seems to cover the common impulse behind dominating trends. Whether it accounts for the initial spark of “anti” I guess is another question.
Statistically significant, such that it created some academic literature and enough cover for Harvard to make this new policy. Practically significant, maybe not.

Here's a comment from a different branch of this thread:

> The findings in general is that much of the disparity between minorities and whites goes away for harder analogies that are more technical or scientific in nature, in fact contrary to what I expected, the recommendation of the study is to simply eliminate the bottom third of verbal questions (ranked by difficulty) involving analogies or sentence completion, as those are the questions that are most likely to involve cultural bias.

This means that each and every institution has to verify identities "from scratch" which they are not really capable of. Bootstrapping trustworthy verification of identity that is useful for commerce (e.g. where you can practically collect debts/credit and prevent creating fake identities so that you know who you're dealing with, can reach them for contract enforcement if needed, and can ban people you don't want to deal with) is really hard, so everyone is essentially delegating it to someone else - webstores to credit card issuers, all kinds of institutions to social security numbers, some to phone numbers, and everyone is doing that poorly and failing at making it secure since there is no solid foundation for any of it, resulting in the extremely costly identity theft problem (in USA it's like $50bn per year?) and in cases like this, where companies have to rely on "phone numbers" and ridiculous "security" questions like mother's maiden name - because they don't have anything better to use.

Privacy and anonymity are not the same; there are many domains where anonymity is reasonable and default, but also many domains where it is not; in those someone can respect privacy and at the same time refuse to deal with anonymous partners, and it's an entirely reasonable choice that they should be able to make not only in theory but in practice - having an effective, secure mechanism for a person to verify their identity to someone else.

Proper identities are a key basis for trust - without them you can do one-off immediate barters (perhaps many times), but prolonged relationships, various forms of credit and "credit-like-effects", accumulation of reputation are highly beneficial for society; and from the perspective of incentives it's worth noting that the harder it is to "get away with" betraying trust and start from zero, the less incentive there is to defect and more incentive to cooperate; there's a good reason why the game theory iterated Prisoner's dilemma (which relies on preserving identities) gets so much better average results for everyone than non-iterated or fully anonymized Prisoner's dilemma.

It's not 1-2% of users annually. It's a small fraction of that. When it happens people tend to get loud about it though, so it shows up on social media or on HN and similar. Publicly traded companies like DigitalOcean aren't about to wipe out 2% of their paying customers by mistake every year; the problem is small enough relatively speaking that they don't much care (unless the customer can get enough attention to their plight), despite how it impacts the customer that is suffering from their negligence.

What's more annoying is that the decision to construct the email as a non-academic "other person" was a CONSCIOUS decision by the research team (most likely the advisor). I don't see what benefit hiding behind the illusion gathered does for the information beyond worrying the recipients wouldn't respond to a more traditional "We are researching CCPA..." style email.

IRB does allow for deception, just to be clear. Its annoying, but sometimes that's what's needed to get genuine responses. HOWEVER, the hoops the team needed to do to justify its use here was very poorly executed.
