What field are you in where you are coming across lots of fraudulent papers?!

I spend most of my career reanalyzing others' data and combining it together into larger datasets, in molecular biology and genomics. The only time I encountered mistakes it was from my own labeling errors or bugs, pre-publication. And in pre-publications datasets I would sometimes detect accidental swaps on the labels of samples as part of QC checks.
I like how this guy always mentions the lines of code of the tools he uses, especially for areas where security is critical.
They need more morons.

Kubernetes must probably be one of the most tutorialized pieces of SW out there. You want a "crash course" on the platform of your choice? You got it. You want it for the price of your choice? You got it.

The docs are great [1] and offer even interactive parts [2]. There are a ton of good materials on youtube. There are Coursera and EdX courses, e.g. [3] from Google and [4] from Red Hat. There are a ton of Udemy courses, e.g. [5]. I'm not even going to mention sites like Pluralsight (which now owns CloudGuru and CloudAcademy).

I'm not even mentioning books on advanced Kubernetes and service mesh topics.

I wonder what drives someone to write a 101-level tutorial on K8s. In my mind, there's such an overload of information on the topic that it must get lost among the greats.

Advertising's purpose is to distort the market.

And yes, people are absolutely buying more garbage than their parents - and certainly their grandparents. Look at clothes, jewelry, furniture, home appliances, cars - those all used to be more or less lifetime purchases, and have become things people change every 5-7 years top (much less for clothes). Not to mention things like buying new phones and other electronics every year or two.

These changes are all products of marketing and advertising to a great extent. Stopping these industries (or at least greatly curtailing their power) would help correct the market back into a more rational place.
For those using Zettelkasten, how do you know whether the connection you are making are useful? I can imagine it is easy to just link concepts.
Well it's neat for a 10 minute hack on an internal project. Not so great that it's become the standard way of distributing files in Linux.

Although in this case I'd say it's the fault of symlinks daring to exist and spew their flaws over everyone.

Plus maybe slightly C's fault for not coming with a data structure library so everyone uses linked lists for everything. Presumably this wouldn't have happened in any other language (e.g. C++) because they would have used a set or hashmap or whatever.

A stone age language dealing with a misguided filesystem feature for a brain-dead archive format. Surprising that it works at all really!
agreed. it is however quite easy to ignore one side, quite a bit harder to ignore another that wields extreme power.

You still need story point estimates on the previous items, or some reason to believe that previous stories were of similar size (which is also a form of estimate).
> I believe 80% of science wrong AND not reproducible

Maybe that's the case in your area of research. In mine (math, physics) it definitely isn't. So I would be a bit more careful about the wording here. ("80% of science" – what science?)
> The pressure will be for quality, not quantity.

Well, popularity, anyway. While popularity is sometimes a useful proxy for quality, that's not always the case.
> I think the real difference is that dividing by zero is not useful, so it has never needed defining.

Incorrect. The result of dividing by zero is provably "not well defined" - for standard mathematical definition of what is and what isn't "well defined".

Specifically, Limits (1). for 1/x, as the x approaches zero from above and below, the two limits are not the same, therefor the limit is not well-defined (2)

As x tends to zero from x > 0, 1/x tends to a limit of +infinity. Calculate 1/x for values of x = 2, 1, 0.5, 0.1, 00.1 and so on as you approach zero: the results are larger and larger positive numbers, without bound.

As x tends to zero from x < 0, 1/x tends to a limit of -infinity. Calculate 1/x for values of x = -2, -1, -0.5, -0.1, -00.1 and so on as you approach zero: the results are larger and larger negative numbers, without bound.

Even allowing "infinity" as a valid number, this isn't converging to the same answer. (2)

I suppose that you could "define" the answer in much the same way that we define i as "the imaginary square root of -1" and thus get complex numbers.

The question that would follow though, is: If we e.g. define "q" as the limit of 1/x as x -> 0, this is a number that is both positively and negatively infinite at the same time, what then? What can we do with it? It turns out that complex numbers are useful (3) and look a bit like quarter-circle rotations. But this q, the "self-contradicting infinite number" doesn't really seem to be useful.

The gist is the original yc debut of Dropbox had a comment that described a pretty technical way to get the same functionality as drop box. It's commonly referenced when folks on hackernews dismiss a product when they can do the same with 10 unix commands, not realizing they might not be the target customer. Interestingly I think this situation is the exact opposite, Kvass seems to be more complicated for a non technical user than file systems as the top level comment responded with.
I recommend reading the comments on AlzForum [1]. From the discussions (which are from real Alzheimer's researchers), it sounds like this fraud is significant in terms of Dr. Sylvain Lesné's work, but that the news has been vastly blown out of proportion, and not significant to the field as a whole.

The problem with that is the same as we would get if we decided that the way to treat anorexia is by allowing the patients to starve themselves to death. They would die thin and happy, but I don't think many people would agree with it being the "preferred solution to that problem".
My interpretation is that they are taking time to reassess their open positions, and the list of positions will be smaller when they reopen hiring.

Ah yes, how fast is a random read to the middle of a 1TB file... that has been compressed as a single gzip stream...
And how many of those commenters have a vested interest in the current research direction?
As a rule, papers do not get reproduced. Reproducing papers is a lot of boring work that beings no benefit to oneself.
As one who has read the Protestant Bible all the way through probably more than five times, I don't recall any statement that memories will be wiped.

At the end of Revelation there is a declaration that ~"there will be no more crying, or tears, or death, or pain, for the former things have passed away," and some interpret that to mean humans will not remember anything from life in the old universe.

It's an interpretation, though, not something the text outright says.

During my life as a Biblical literalist, I saw it as simply saying that a world with hardship and suffering was no more, and that our memories of those times would be recontextualized.
For the specific case of AWS EC2, there's also AWS session manager. It even works with Windows machines.

For ssh for the console, there's [0] aws session manager plugins. This is integrated with the authentication provider used for the AWS account. Although in the case of AWS SSO, it's not perfect: the initial sign in is manual. This is useful for connecting other tools to the EC2 instance, such as an IDE.

Interview results live in the system forever so if you interview well but don't end up with an offer you will be a target for recruiters later and have an advantage in the hiring committee on the next attempt.

If you've already matched with a team, the key is knowing what that team is doing and whether they are on a company-critical path. I suspect the number of such L3 positions is low, but it is definitely not zero.

A better system would be to create incentives for economic growth in other areas rather than trying to cram ever increasing numbers into a few limited existing urban areas.
I've never had the misfortune to work with somebody like that, or indeed let myself become like that, but I've seen this in open source projects.

One got forked after years of misery, another eventually became obsolete technology-wise. They were genuinely instructive as an example of how not to behave.
"Because 90% of it was not reasonable doubt, it was manipulative BS"

Yes, but the problem is, that the remaining 10% were treated the same way.

(but I think, the numbers are actually more like 98% BS and 2 % legitimate, fact based doubt)
Probably the best proxy for quality is popularity that endures for centuries since we can’t measure quality directly. Either way, if there’s a max of one paper per year, scientists will be trying for the most impactful work.

The last one is because my grandma's service was significant enough that sometimes articles and blog posts are made about her, but a lot of the information gets fabricated or twisted in order to create a narrative of a sexy femme fatale. When this happens, I like to show up and correct it.
I think that for the average developer, these tools will soon be obsolete. For frontend applications, hosting services such as Vercel and Netlify gives a far superior DX. For backend, Vercel does the same, or other BaaS' like Supabase that gives you most you would need to create a fully fledged app with easy to use API's. The only downside I can tell, is the pricing, but compared to dev hours saved, it's probably a net benefit.
This isn't even demonstrating "hardening ssh" really, though. It is replacing it. It ends with using "zli" to access the remote host. I'm assuming "zli" isn't a full ssh replacement...does it work with rsync, ssh-agent, various types of forwarding?

Edit: I can see this product having merit. Just taking issue with the title...this isn't hardening ssh. It is replacing it with a product that does only the remote login part of ssh.

Searching HN for "chess robot" brings up several posts on this story.
The problems with DT are low power density due to limits on power/area through the first wall, neutron damage to reactor materials, getting tritium breeding to work, and the need for a large non-nuclear part of the plant (turbine, generator).

Helion potentially avoids or ameliorates all of these problems. Unlike with DT, where 80% of the power is in neutrons, a smaller fraction of power is from neutrons here (particularly when there's enough 3He available to be using that too.) The neutrons from DD fusion are much lower energy than from DT fusion, so they produce much less helium in the reactor materials (helium produced there migrates to tiny bubbles where the pressure grows until it rips the material apart.) With Helion, reactor materials have a reasonable shot at lasting the lifetime of the reactor; this is not true for first wall materials in a DT reactor operating at adequate power density.

Helion's scheme also directly recovers plasma energy, including fusion energy going to ions, as electrical energy, so it can substantially, perhaps completely, avoid the need for turbines and generators.

Helion does not need to breed tritium. All it has to do is capture and store produced tritium from DD reactions (so it can decay to 3He, which would be used), which will be much easier. There is no need for a breeding blanket with lithium, although one could be added if desired. If so, that breeding blanket doesn't have to allow rapid recovery of produced tritium before it decays.
Regardless of the specifics of which is worse with housing in terms of vacant housing. It is not the only housing issue with the Bay Area, SV, and SF. That entire area is an awful neoliberal NIMBY dystopia.

Overall, China’s ghost towns and the entire Bay Area are bad in terms of housing.

I don’t know enough about housing, but from the outside, the housing issues of the Bay Area seem arguably worse. The NIMBY behavior and the leeching of the well off from others and the house or cards that is the way things are financed in the Bay Area and other major parts of the US with many cities and towns being close to Ponzi schemes because they are made for cars aka sprawl which is unsustainable. And then the NIMBY in suburbia sprawl and in the urban cities isn’t good either.

Again without knowing a lot, I think I’d take ghost towns over how the Bay Area and much of the US is
DwarFS may be good, but it's not in the Linux kernel (depends on FUSE). That makes it less universal, potentially significantly slower for some uses cases, and also less thoroughly tested. SquashFS is used by a lot of embedded Linux distros among other use cases, so we can have pretty high confidence in its correctness.
100% agreed. I can't seem to get people to understand - most research studies find results that are not reproducible. Putting it nicely "Research has a reproducibility problem."

Fraud is probably not evenly distributed.

The more money is involved, the more fraud to expect. This should not surprise: fraud goes where the money is. And where there is money, the stakes are higher.

But I have seen reprehensible behavior even in opponents of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, where practically no money seemed to be at stake.
> Visual Studio Code and Jetbrains IDE work the same in Windows/Linux as in Macs

Slow and bloated?
People are already boosting their impact scores by requiring papers they review to add citations for their past work.

Performance Metrics always result in people gaming the system, and impact scores have quickly become unreliable.
It seems to be, because there isn't a fixed amount of money.

Money isn't the problem. Manpower and materials are the problem.

Spending manpower and materials on X cannot be spent on Y. Manpower and materials are not fungible - at least not in the nuclear space where requirements are very high.
To be fair. Just last night i was googling kubernetes and k3s tutorials.

All of them on page 1 of SERPS are super simple and brilliant and ONLY show you how to add nodes to clusters.

Ok now what ??
Ive drank the k-Koolaid signup for the newsletters but how do i get value from this 'thing' ???

When i code a webapp how do setup/config the db ? How do I do a regular LAMP app ?

Lol i never thought i say this but i need a kubernetes tutorial on 'best practices' for common patterns. No for google scale but how do i kubernetify my run of the mil lamp app with 100kpage views a month ??

There seems to be a gap between the beginner and advance (kubernetes all things) levels ?

Maybe that is the answer ?? The fact that the middle-situations(lamp apps with low-med traffic) tutorials dont exists means i dont need it ??
I skipped right to the conclusion, as I wanted to see what the document says, and it kicks of with "where no other treatment exists", and to prevent self-inflicted amputations. Plus it acknowledges that these people potentially need help _now_, before we find better solutions in the other fields.

I can highly recommend to give the conclusion section a read. I think the authors are well aware of these issues, to the point that this scoping (no other treatment available right now / other options exhausted + person needs help right now) makes me slightly supportive.
The worst it can get is people starving to death, which has happened several times even since the agricultural revolution thanks to political decisions.

I don’t really expect the situation to get that bad in this case, however.
I'd say the main motivation to not reprocess is that it costs more than not reprocessing. It's a net economic loss.

Hydrogen fuel cell cars are in fact better than gasoline. A fact that I think often gets overlooked.

But note, they do actually have batteries, similar to ICE serial hybrids.

They key thing of course, is that building lots of batteries is not a 'problem', and it's lack of being a problem is exactly why BEVs are better than fuel-cell hydrogen cars for basically everything, except maybe long distance air transport.

There's a cogent argument to be made that under capitalism, once market saturation is reached, any further excess wealth (and capitalism creates lots of that!) is redirected to zero-sum competition (which is, on a societal level, waste).

I don't think capitalism corrupts everything it touches - but I'm pretty sure it corrupts saturated markets, and these days that's an awful lot of things.
In healthcare and life sciences research, I absolutely believe at least 80% is wrong and/or not reproducible. Not due to bad actors but, more likely, dataset bias or accidents upon patient matching algorithms or confounders.

P < 0.05 is outdated at this point, for anything truly ground breaking p < 0.005 or < 0.0005 is probably a better choice, and even then I would ask "Where did you get your dataset from and did you combine (!!!) datasets from multiple orgs."
If they do manual moderation, that would indeed explain it.

This is no doubt a useful commment, since you provide other sources. However, it's not particularly a mark of courtesy to denigrate others' contribution to the space. If you had substantive criticism of the OP offered tutorial, it might be helpful. However, you offer none.

You need to very clearly define what you want and you should know how your brain works. Some people want loose links to job memories, some people think slower but more deeply. Some people get math better than biology, and so on and so on.

You should have a good idea how you learn and what you are good/bad at. Then develop a system that works with YOUR brain. Also you must emotionally accept you aren't going to get it right the first couple times.
The article speaks of economies of scale, but agriculture generally does have a diseconomy of scale in regards to land use.

This is very similar to another scientific fraud case from two decades ago, involving Bell Labs and Jan Hendrik Schön, and a series of major papers published in Nature and Science from 1998-2002, and described in an excellent book, Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World by Eugenie Samuel Reich.

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.324848...

A key point, from the above review, that I think explains a lot of this behavior:

> "Reich points out that fraudsters like Schön could get credit for “first discovery” if, before they are caught, their false claims are confirmed by others on the basis of genuine data."

It did shake up the field of organic semiconductor device research in physics by increasing scrutiny and changing some requirements (for example, electron microscope imagery of claimed devices is now a requirement for publication). However, as the top post at present notes, the incentives are backwards in academic science these days, and the role of funding organizations and high-profile journals is as problematic as that of the originating fraudsters.

Maybe this instance of fraud will do the same for the biomedical field, by forcing researchers to release their raw data and full-resolution images as a condition of publication, although that would require a major shift in behavior in today's patent-driven startup-centered heavily-corporatized biomedical research world.

Personally, I'll note that during the years I worked in academia, of the three PIs I worked with, I discovered two engaging in fraudulent research to greater or lesser extent. The main differences between them and the one who wasn't were (1) lab notebook discipline and recording and storing data securely, (2) in-house replication was required, (3) no toleration for BS and shady behavior. The others broke all those rules. (Unfortunately I picked the wrong PI to work with, and ended up leaving academia in a fit of contemptuous disgust.)

A good rule of thumb: If some research claim hasn't been replicated, and if the data and methods aren't transparently available, then it's as likely to be fraudulent garbage as not, and it's not worthy of further examination.
In this conversation, it’s important to distinguish science itself (which, along with facts, are already under attack in our politics) from failings of the research industry.
