What is psychology used for, and whatever those things are... are they still floating (so to speak)?

Some of it is used in policy. So when some convicted murderer is out on furlough and kills again, am I wrong to wonder if that was some of the top-notch applied psychology at work?

The interpretation is never so simple. I'm not sure what that guy at Stanford was trying to prove but his research conclusively proved that tenured psych professors at leading universities can be wildly unethical. This discovery helped support the creation of institutional review boards across the country - one of the first major restrictions on academic freedom in the history of science.

Ask HN: How to learn about network programming (in Rust)?
Hello HN!

I would like to learn a bit more about network programming, because I have this idea of building a reverse proxy in Rust.

- I can read and write some basic Rust, but I'm struggling hard with all things related to networking (the mio library, command line tools such as nc, what really is a socket or tcp?)

- Are there any Rust-specific networking resources you can recommend for beginners?

- If not, any general networking resources? Preferably something accessible to somebody who doesn't know C.

- For what it's worth, I have about 8 years of experience with (modern) Java for web development.

Really looking forward to your thoughts and ideas, as I'm feeling a bit lost.

Thank you!

The problem is funding.

The best psychology work tends to be much closer to philosophy than science. But philosophy generally doesn't get much funding.

Anyone interested in psychology will ultimately be forced to optimize for funding, which inevitably leads to fraudulent work since psychology based on scientific principles simply isn't possible yet as we don't know nearly enough about the function of the mind to explore the areas psychology is interested in.
Seems like there will inevitably end up being only two national news papers behind paywalls, The left leaning NY times, and the right leaning WSJ. I guess the Post as Bezos's plaything might survive for a while but what's the value add going to be v. the Times?

Edit: I bring this up not to derail the thread, but because the Athletic is a national sports news play, seems like the NY Times's end goal is to be the national news source.

I am Experienced final year software developer specializing in Deep Learning, Data Science, and Ethereum development. Proficient in ANN, CNN, RNN, and transformers, with additional skills in Rust, Solidity, JavaScript, and C++.

I am particularly enthusiastic about projects centred around Machine Learning, Rust, and Web3. I have developed various projects in these domains eg. A Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) based generative neural network which can generate images of handwritten digits, a tokio based chat server in Rust and various Ethereum smart-contracts.

I love to continuously learn new things and expand my knowledge; I am a fast learner. Recently I have migrated my system to NixOS and zfs, so that I can manage my development setup better.

Currently, I am actively seeking full-time opportunities that align with these areas of interest, where I can contribute my expertise and drive meaningful innovation.

The best solution I found was to delay the deletion and make it reversible (within a few days). Mark the account as to-be-deleted and prevent any action. The only page/screen available should show: this account is scheduled for permanent deletion within X days. Click to restore.

It has an added benefit of preventing people from easily recycling accounts and still meets GDPR.

I’ve been self-hosting InfluxDB in the hundreds of GB range for several years. I wouldn’t say I’m super happy with it, but… let’s say we’ve reached an understanding, the software and I. We’re on the latest patch of 1.8 and content to stay there.

I agree with GP about storage efficiency, which is superb. Query performance is good as long as a single query doesn’t deal with more than ~dozens of series. And $deity help you if you want to do hourly roll-ups of all series for a short time range, as RAM usage is wildly unpredictable. Storage is optimized for long reads of a single series, not for short reads of many series (but in fairness, you have to choose one or the other, that’s just the physics of the thing).

If I were starting from scratch, I’d probably pick Timescale. Or maybe DuckDB… I wonder if it would work for our use case.

I don't know about 1-2s chunks, but have you ever had to process a UHD HDR ProRes master with 24 channels of audio? Processing that on a single machine (depending on the level of processing) can easily take up to 10 hours. I definitely agree the 1-2s chunks makes no sense, but cutting it up into segments is the only way to get realistically acceptable processing times.
I don't have that. Where? Algolia and google search boxes(? the input fields?) don't show anything like that.

Is there really a “debate” over “fake work”, or is that just some made up term a clueless and unethical VC tweeted?

There’s been a hard push from capital to put pressure on labor. All these fantasy stories about “fake work”, “people working two jobs”… are all just cover stories for capital and execs to ramp up the pressure and punitive actions. I’m sure BusinessInsider is more than happy to play along. While this article may look pro-labor in the surface, it’s trying to legitimize concepts that are very much pro-capital.

all their examples and URLs (save for the code itself on github) but even the font files themselves are dead because that company closed in 2020 :/

Very neat idea, though! I did find this example: https://observablehq.com/@tomgp/sparks-with-live-data

For those examples to work (which they still do), the URL references to the font data in the stylesheet should ostensibly still be valid: https://tools.aftertheflood.com/sparks/styles/font-faces.css
Plus the fact restaurants are allergic to adding ice to drinks, probably because they ration them to the milliliter (or millilitre, even! nice job standardizing that, BTW) and there are no free refills.
I’m interested to know where this idea comes from. Is there a good reference you recommend? My anecdotal experience has been that low density websites like Medium are more stressful than higher density websites like Substack/HN because I have to do more work to read the text on the page.

> We have a good leader, which makes all the difference.

I think this is the trick right here. Our paycheck might come from such-and-such company, but really we work for the people in our management chain. I'm currently at Amazon, and I've been pretty lucky with having good leaders, but part of that is because I've had the luxury of being selective (my first director in my time at Amazon was someone I had worked with previously, and when I switched teams I joined to work with someone I knew).

Similarly you can run javascript programs on a site with a parameter from the url bar, if you want. For example you can make a bookmark with the URL

javascript: document.body.innerHTML = "%s" + document.body.innerHTML

and add a keyword @addBefore and it will work. (Useless example, but it probably shows where and how the javascript runs.)

Really bad/misleading/factually-incorrect headline. They use a 40yo computer to control an industrial machine for making cloth, not to design clothing. Which is pretty common.
Psychology is also one of the only fields funding replication.

My experience in CS is that the replicability of experimental results is embarrassingly bad, but this isn't making headlines in the same way so people don't consider it to be a problem.

This is data fraud in psych. Data fraud has also happened in plenty of other fields. When it occurs in these fields it is seen as a one-off. When it occurs in psych, it is because the entire field is useless garbage. That's not the lesson to take away here.
I agree with everything you wrote here (this is indeed how I live my life) but I think your examples have something in common - they are cases where you are capable of recognizing the truth. EG: you know what shit looks like and you know what apples look like, and you can be confident in your ability to tell them apart.

The upstream topic has to do with religion which deals with things that don't have that property (by definition, I would say.) One religious argument can go like this:

Religion: all things that we know about, have a creator. Why wouldn't the universe have a creator? Why would the most sophisticated thing of all be random? Atheism replies: I am unable to see the creator therefore he doesn't exist. It's random.

There's a difference between saying "I know what an apple is and I've seen thousands of apples, and this pile of shit isn't an apple" and saying "I assume I would be able to perceive and understand the creation/creator of the universe with my monkey meat-brain, so the fact that I don't see it means for sure there's not one"

I feel like the logical approach is to say "I am a limited monkey meat-brain, I have no reason to expect to recognize the creator. But I can chose to use probability to expect that there might be a creator of the universe - since all else has a creator, and not get too hung up on my own limitation"

Hope this elaboration makes sense, this is what I was trying to convey.
This is what the average person likes about Apple. This is why the company is worth so much money. The facade of exclusivity and perfection. Clean, white rooms with clean, smiling staff and shiny, perfect products.

They're just phones, they're just laptops. But no, we get "what's a computer?" hurr durr.

I think that would've pissed off a lot of folks, so they reverted it.
The projects I've enjoyed the most is where I felt I was building something meaningful, as in something I believed would help the company grow. And asking questions that challenged the point of specific thing was encouraged - when I voiced concerns that RoI isn't there, it was at least considered and sometimes changed the plan. I don't expect my suggestions to be right, because I see only part of the picture, but I assume so does upper management, leadership, etc. It's just impossible to grasp the entire thing. Like you can't be just dev and not think about how customers will be using what you release. For me working like that feels more fulfilling and I like to think it helps to mend these perspectives.

On the contrary, worst time I had was when I was just receiving roadmaps to crunch through, that were "set in stone", came from "up there" and suggestions or personal findings weren't part of development. Yes, the technical challenge was there but that alone doesn't cut it. So it felt like I'm just a cog in a machine and after some time the mood just drops and burnout starts creeping in... I find it very consistent.
I assume this, but I don't know every chemical in this group. What is strange is that Kale does not seem like a very oily plant (in my opinion, could be wrong). This species store sugars as chill protection.

The main question to ask here is if this chemicals are causing chronic inflammation and in that case if is related with the obesity epidemic. We know that people living in the upper course of the rivers and allegedly drink better quality water are less obese on average.

A possible null hypothese to start could be: A body accumulating toxic substances in the fat cells, could react making more fat cells as a defense (to dilute the poison by cell)?.

Are somebody checking if the areas with more chemicals in the water show a higher average of Body Mass Index?
There's a lot of interesting things to consider.

One, is that base 4 makes a lot of sense for the stability of DNA structures. You have two purines, two pyrimadines.

Another is that partly because codons are degenerate, the distribution is way off a uniform distribution. For chemistry and mol bio reasons, the distribution of AGTC is very skewed.

Apprenticeship is an economic model. As a skills-transfer model, it tends to be very good at common practices, mediocre at rare practices, and terrible at theory. In order to get expertise in a field, one generally needs to understand the underlying theory.

We used to teach doctors by apprenticeship. Then it turned out that underlying theory was incredibly important to diagnosis and treatment for all the uncommon ailments -- and in a large, long-lived population, uncommon ailments come up a lot. It turns out that medicine is such a large field that doctors need both formal schooling and apprenticeship -- so there's a required supervised period.

Puppetry is a child of acting and sculpture and clothing. There are specialists who are great at one part and not at others; there are generalists who do everything. The practical parts of these fields are probably amenable to apprenticeship; the theoretical parts, not so much.
> Gut from the top if you want to get rid of the problem. It’s not the L5 engineer or the first line manager that’s holding any product back.

I tend to agree but there's a real danger in leaving engineers to their own devices. I know this will be downvoted, but software engineers are the worst at planning their own work. The vast majority will just go off and do wtf ever they want. There really has to be guard rails to keep an organization sane and somewhat focused.

But this post is spot on, productivety is a business problem. Software engineers will work, probably more than anyone else in the org, typically.
They started using some tools that scientists use and decided they too were a "Science" (because we used a tool that actual science uses) because it was the best way to be taken as seriously as real science. There has been a brewing jealousy in the academy over many decades with the type of success hard sciences have seen. So, just put the word "science" in your title and pretend you're doing "Science" and now your opinions get to be "the science" and if someone scrutinizes it (like actual science would be and is open to) you can say "the science is settled."

Of course the best irony is the current fad of rejecting "objective truth" (on whatever grounds are useful - it's racist, etc) and yet still claiming you are doing a science. Not the search for truth but rather the search for your truth.
You can check the article explaining the evidence by yourself, it's pretty damning.

WV is among the bottom 5 poorest states in the US, with West Virginia University critical for providing affordable in-state college education. WVU is urgently dealing with a $45-million budget shortfall.

I know two graduates of the Puppetry program, and neither of them work professionally in any puppetry-related career. They may as well have graduated with any liberal arts degree. The Puppetry major gave them a way to prove their "quirkiness" in college.

Here's the course requirements for the BFA in Puppetry:
http://catalog.wvu.edu/undergraduate/collegeofcreativearts/d...

It looks like there are two puppetry-specific courses, with the vast majority of courses coming from the more general Theatre program with Liberal Arts core.

I don't know what the Puppetry BFA costs the university, but it's always been a joke to WVU students, and doesn't seem to serve West Virginia residents in a meaningful way.

For statistical learning, the book I mentioned

Nonparametric Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences,

should make a good contribution to statistical learning. Some of the techniques are so robust, i.e., need such meager assumptions, that they should be especially welcome in automatically applied AI (artificial intelligence) applications.

Actually the book ISLR, Introduction to Statistical Learning, does claim to cover

"Resampling methods"
> The fact for instance that our ability to understand the underlying reality if any may be limited doesn't mean that every proposition is equally valid.

In the colloquial sense, for sure. However, if someone bothers to engage in a discussion by providing an answer to a question, I think it is perfectly fair to say that the burden of proof lies on the answerer. If someone responds in kind, then they should provide evidence and reasoning for their claim. A holier-than-thou attitude to the point of providing one word as an answer and refusing to elaborate isn't remotely conducive to discussion.

The question of whether vaccines cause autism isn't a question that can reasonably be dismissed immediately like "the moon is made of cheese" can. You probably put your trust in the scientists who say vaccines don't cause autism. You may very well be right. But if you choose to engage in a discussion, don't act like your argument is untouchable. That's a disservice to the spirit of scientific inquiry. Perhaps there's a new study that should be considered. If it's the same old debunked studies, feel free to end the discussion there. But you don't know that ahead of time. If you're going to continue a discussion, do so in good faith.

> You entire life has been built on picking the most likely explanation for a set of inputs received. It's how your ancestors didn't get eaten by animals.

That is...confident. I think animals are a lot easier to avoid dying to than trying to understand the universe and everything about it, whether that's physics, epidemiology, or philosophy. Natural selection isn't "survival of the perfect beings" but rather "survival of the fittest and then some mediocre ones who haven't died off".
