What's stopping Rocky Linux from stating that its products are not certified for usage in Europe and having a third party that specializes in certification handle that aspect for a percentage of revenue from support contracts for European markets with the net effect being that near zero such foundations end up based in Europe and European companies experience it as licenses being 10% more expensive with smaller set products available.

For open source libraries which presently are 100% free have the certification company charge companies who want to use those libraries to audit and certify them and pass a substantial amount of the cost on to the authors of those libraries.
Well most of the problems probably come from "Well this expirement was inconclusive but surely this mechanism is real and is the cause so I will just be a little selective in my data so it won't get dropped"

And after six iterations of this it just never pans out. Real replication is whether you can reliably build on top of a previous study.

Wholeheartedly agree, really a shame to see what it’s become. Wish I could still see research the way I dreamed it was as a child.
I know there many tongue and cheek comments here on this, but what a time to be alive back then. Can you imagine these same corporations agreeing on anything today to be an open standard used by all, documented in the open and working on collaboratively?

This was a watershed moment in technology for that alone

I would love this, if only so I have less chance of going through a fix again. I received a patellagraph to fix a torn ACL, and the rehab is what makes it such a PITA. It took 9ish months to be cleared for sports again, and I didn't feel confident in my knee until 18 months or so.
He's been Chair since July 2021. At Stanford, Yang has served twice on the board of trustees, the first time from 2005 to 2015. He joined the board again in October 2017 and has served as its vice chair.

Yang & his wife have also given over $75 million to Stanford.
Yup, exactly this. I tried deploying such system on low powered ARM systems that could technically do it. It was a nightmare from a support and compatibility standpoint. Also the vendor would support the hardware for significantly less time than Intel would support their NUCs.

The maybe dozen NUC's I needed were not a very substantial hardware cost. You bought a Celeron NUC and they just worked even if you didn't have the most experienced staff supporting them or the best software running on them.

If you're going to be deploying a thousand such systems, sure, of course you shouldn't use NUCs.
There’s a strong, widespread objection to hiding security features behind a paywall: https://sso.tax/

If 2fa is the only way you can differentiate in order to force enterprises to pay, it’s better to have a fee for security than to die because you can’t make money… but broadly, as a security company, you should aim for maximum security for every user.

If I were in your position, I’d start out by making security features available to everyone and then only if you feel you don’t have a choice would you put them behind a paywall — and at that point, you can grandfather existing customers in to these features for free.

True. The Ubisoft games on Steam launch the UPlay app in the background, so it'll probably be the same.

You don't get weird higher-ranked lifetime errors when you use non Sync futures with hand-rolled async traits.

I am not saying that this is the reason to use local futures. But if you have decided that local futures are the way to go anyway, it's a nice benefit.
And because they spent so much time studying for those tests, they did not study real interesting skills that could be useful for their career later as well...

Better by what metric? It has not been my experience that instructional quality is in any way correlated with budget or prestige.

> Your random college probably can't afford a research nuclear reactor, but MIT sure as hell can if they want.

Idaho State has a research reactor. As does Kansas State, Missouri S&T, NC State, Ohio State, Oregon State, Penn State, Purdue, Reed College, Texas A&M, Cal-Davis and Cal-Irvine, Florida, Maryland, UMass, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and Washington State.

You don't have to go to MIT to get onto good research projects in that field. And that's true of every field.

MIT is also a bad example because as the sister comment points out they don't have legacy or athletic admissions.
Easy calculator
I can't speak for other fields but in Neuro there's plenty of this but often one learns how to catch it before using it in your own research, even if it never becomes a matter of public scrutiny. Unfortunately, I can't reassure you that bad research gets caught all the time. However, there's usually at least a couple of experts in a given sub field of Neuro that quickly call BS before something goes too far.

I'm not sure what is meant by "data-oriented programming" (I know what "data-driven" means...) but, yes, "Data-Oriented Design" has a distinct (if somewhat nebulous) meaning which comes from game programmer culture. (And my guess is the difference between it and data-oriented programming is not slight.) Data-Oriented Design is, basically, the name given to the bag of techniques listed on the submitted webpage. I don't know if the term was coined by Mike Acton, but it was popularized by the talk he gave that is linked to on the submitted webpage. (It's an inspiring talk! You should watch it, if you have not, yet.)

As far as I can tell, Data-Oriented Design is a reaction to trauma experienced by game programmers trying to undo damage inflicted by the... inapt... application of OO techniques in game codebases by their (probably well-meaning, but ignorant) peers. (Hence the contrast in the names: OBJECT-Oriented Design -> DATA-Oriented Design.)

The keystone idea seems to be, instead of organizing your program's data as objects in an inheritance hierarchy, figure out which data will be accessed together in tight loops, and pack that data together in arrays. (I.e., prefer structs of arrays to arrays of objects.)

P.S., There's an interaction during the Q&A section of that presentation by Mike Acton which I love: one questioner asks, somewhat incredulously, (and I'm paraphrasing here) "If I were to follow the principles you have laid out in this talk, then, if I ever needed to alter the layout of my data--after having invested (perhaps significant) time already writing my program--I would subsequently be required to rewrite all the code which accesses that data." and Mike Action answers, basically, with a stone-cold "Yes."
they "benefit" by agreeing to play ball getting the (often absurdly huge) defense contract.

and since the contractors are taking federal money, the gub'mnt reserves the rights to any of their findings; agree or don't get the contract.

but this then gives the Gov another angle if the contractor deliberately or accidently releases or sells those secrets -- not just distributing classified materials, but also patent violations, and potential lawsuits. it's a tool to ensure compliance if/when the government is funding stuff they don't want released

This is literally white collar crime.

Like most white collar crime, it's not reported in "crime statistics", and it may not be prosecuted for any number of reasons, but it's literally the definition of white collar crime.

This is an easy thing to quantify. MIT does not have legacy admissions, so you can do a comparison between Harvard and MIT to see the effects of legacy admissions on career growth.
> What would you do besides the big fat red disclaimer we have in the project to address your concerns?

I probably wouldn't use an LLM for this problem domain. Or, if I did use an LLM, it'd be as a way to map the user's requests into an expert system. The ES would generate a recommendation as well as a set of diagnostic assumptions extracted from the prompt. The user should be presented with a checklist of extracted diagnostic assumptions along with the recommendation. The recommendation should include any specific warnings about the active ingredient(s) together with a general warning about the wild west nature of health supplements - the active ingredient may not be present and other harmful ingredients may be present.

To build out the expert system, I would find a team member who is a medical professional with expertise in health supplements. An MD or researcher with relevant SME would be the obvious choice, but I've also talked with some truly excellent registered dieticians, nurses, and PharmDs.

Finally, I would only recommend a limited white-list of health supplements that have some form of third party verified quality control in place.

Honestly, if you're interested in innovating in this space, third-party vetting a la the GAO reports from my original post seems like a MUCH more valuable product than anything using AI hotness. I don't think people need an LLM here; what they need is ground truth, and an LLM can't help with that. If I wanted to innovate in the health supplement space, I'd put the NLP away and figure out how to automate ingredient testing.
So just because one person is cheating, it means all academics are cheating?

FWIW, most top-ranked CS conferences have an artifact evaluation track, and it doesn't look good if you submit an experimental paper and don't go through the artifact evaluation process. Things are certainly changing in CS, at least on the experimental side.

It's also possible that theorems are incorrect, but subsequent work that figures this out will comment on it and fix it.

The scientific record is self-correcting, and fraud / bullshit does get caught out.
My experience suggests otherwise. If the appropriate facilities don't exist in a language, users will resort to code generation.
If you don't want to error/warn on invalid UTF-8 but instead handle it with the "garbage in, garbage out" principle, then yes you're right, treating them pure byte streams works.
I opened many threads and see zero examples of discussion that couldn't have happened here on or Reddit. The only things I see which couldn't be posted here are offensive and worthless. Can you post a single example?
Endemic means "regularly occurring". How many examples of this kind of misconduct are you aware of? Ok, now, what's the denominator? How much research is actually conducted? I'm personally familiar with 3 fields (CS, bio, and geology) and what I've learned is that the number of labs --- let alone projects --- is mind-boggling. If your examples constitute 1% of all research conducted --- which would represent a cosmic-scale fuckload of research projects --- how much should I care about it?
Agreed! 1/1000 is pretty frequent considering how many pushes to GitHub happen every single day. Folks probably get a false sense of security thinking no one is looking at their personal repos (spoiler alert... they are!)
RudderStack has come a long way since our Github repo got posted on HN in 2019 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21081756) and we made our first Show HN post in 2020 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22637302).

We recently launched a new product called Profiles to solve the technical challenges around identity resolution — detailed here on our blog (https://www.rudderstack.com/blog/why-it-s-hard-to-build-a-36...).

The problem is one that we are intimately familiar with. At my previous company, these engineering hurdles prevented us from shipping ML projects that had the potential to make bottom-line impact.

Profiles is a data unification product that allows you to specify important customer traits, then runs the joins and computations automatically, producing an identity graph, user features, and full customer 360 table in your warehouse.

We created a public project, called Profile Builder, that showcases much of Profile’s functionality. Check out the repo for a quickstart project that showcases the basics, and please give us your feedback.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Stripe?
I posted a few months ago how our Stripe account is a victim of card testing attacks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35682534)

At that point, I was frustrated that they wouldn't address the situation. I had contacted customer support numerous times only to be put on the back burner. It was only after that post that Stripe reached out to me and the problem seemed to damp down for a little bit. Now, less than 3 months later we are experiencing the same issue yet again. Lots of new "customers" that never visit our website but end up signing up for a subscription. Every new customer that signs up we have to manually check to see if they are "real". If not, we refund and block them immediately in Stripe. We missed one the other day and ended up getting a charge back. We reached out to Stripe and they advised us to accept the dispute, which we did. However, Stripe refuses to reimburse us for the charge back fee of $15. In light of Stripe's refusal to correct the problem and reimburse us for their mistakes, we are exploring alternatives for our subscription service. We already moved away from PayPal because of their hostility towards other businesses (though we never experienced any such issues directly).

What alternatives to Stripe exist? Stripe's own data suggest that card testing attacks on their network will only increase (see https://images.ctfassets.net/fzn2n1nzq965/Sfz8gaQMU7lsp0Ubd3w1X/84a4254625d05e1fbfe0117de34c1d62/Card_testing_sent_to_Stripe_vs_baseline_v4b_OL.svg?w=900&q=80

Thanks!
There are a few other studies on this. Maybe I'm reading these incorrectly so would appreciate your analysis. As far as I can interpret, the pattern is legit. What is especially counter-intuitive (unless you have a negative view of the profession, as I do) is that so-called professionals in mental health have a higher divorce rate even than respondents who score high on the "anger scale". So what's that all about?

Divorce among physicians and other healthcare professionals in the United States

Medical Specialty and the Incidence of Divorce
https://sci-hub.st/10.1056/NEJM199703133361112

Some callouts:

> Survey results from 2008 through 2013 included responses from more than 40,000 physicians; 200,000 other health professionals—dentists, pharmacists, nurses and health care executives; and more than 6 million other adults who reported currently being employed and ever being married. While 24 percent of physician respondents had ever been divorced, the probability of being divorced was 25 percent among dentists, 31 percent among health care executives and 33 percent among nurses. Only pharmacists, at 23 percent, were less likely than physicians to have been divorced. Lawyers had a 27 percent probability of being divorced, and *in all non-health-care occupations, the probability of ever being divorced was 35 percent.*

> A subsequent, larger study of 1118 medical graduates of Johns Hopkins University found cumulative rates of divorce of 29% *with rates higher among psychiatrists (50%)* and surgeons (33%) but was limited by its analysis of physicians from a single institution.

> The choice of specialty was significantly associated (P>0.001) with the risk of divorce (Fig. 1 and Table 2). The cumulative incidence of divorce was highest
for *psychiatrists (50 percent)*, followed by surgeons (33 percent) and “other” physicians (31 percent). Among internists, pediatricians, and pathologists, the incidence of divorce was similar (22 to 24 per-
cent).

> When we examined psychological variables, we found that physicians in the highest quartile for the anger scale had a higher risk of divorce than those
scoring in the lower three quartiles. *Moreover, the cumulative incidence of divorce among the physicians with the highest anger scores was higher than
that of any other subgroup, with the exception of those practicing psychiatry.*
There's a reason for maintaining separation of corporate capitalism and science/academia. People are persuaded by the almighty dollar and the prestige. Before you know it academic institutions and "prestigious" scientists are pushing propaganda, for kickbacks.

While it may be difficult at times to maintain ethics and integrity, it's always worth the commitment. Always.
It's taken String Theory a few decades to correct itself.
it is impossible for most scientists to understand / critically think about all the research coming out from so many institutions, so most of these academics mainly focus on research coming from someone they respect / institutions they respect, so yes it is kind of like a popularity contest but i would argue that most things in life are due to the limited nature of the human brain we cannot think independently about everything for ourselves and rely on external judgements to what is important / true etc...
This sounds very good. Rust has inherent "x-th mover" problems in spaces where C or C++ is dominant and hard to replace, like automotive and aerospace. These are also the spaces where a language with stronger guarantees and which can target embedded real time devices, is more useful than almost everywhere else.

For rust to succeed in those spaces a "community compiler" is just simply not an option. Having a standardized language (which is still not there yet) with a qualified compiler toolchain would be a significant step forward and actually makes it perspectively possible to use rust on projects for commercial aviation.
This view of the past is a look into the future.

Come 2040, there's going to be all kinds of systems out there "running on an ipad." And the people talking them it will be saying, "oh wow, remember ipads."
I believe this is true. I'm looking back at my previous prompts and it is pretty clear.
I think that is reasonable. The alternative is that all 80,000 Meta employees have their professional reputations tarnished by something that happened a decade ago that they probably had nothing to do with

I think the concept of "simplest naturalistic language" may be intrinsically broken -- a "naturalistic language" is not simple. Natural languages balance between regular rules (e.g. in English, we often add -ed to make the past tense of a verb) and exceptions especially for common cases ("went", "was", "had", "made", "did" because going, being, having, making, doing are all so common). This tension is partly about how much a language user must know/consider when speaking/listening and how efficiently you can say things.

I cannot find a citation quickly, but I recall years ago reading a paper about simulated agents "evolving" a language in a game context where agents had to indicate items to one another, by sending messages which were subject to a noisy channel. Items had multiple attributes (think "small red square", "big green triangle" etc), and experimenters could vary both the noise in the channel, and the entropy of the distribution over items. Naturally if "small red square" is 99% of the things you have to communicate, and there is low noise, agents invent an abbreviation for it. If there's a huge amount of noise and a relatively even distribution over items, then "small small green green triangle triangle" or similar becomes more likely. Languages very naturally reflect both the things people discuss and the environment in which they discuss them.

It's incorrect. OP has used wrong terminology and should have said angularjs.
Yeah that makes sense. It doesn't really strike as the job of the compiler/parser to validate UTF-8. If you've got a messed up text editor/OS environment that's going to be a problem for lots of things.
Blizzard always loved "playing" with players. They announced something, advertised it for weeks, then prior release they removed the shiny new thing. Or after release they nerfed it, saying it was too imba or some unfixable thing occured and they had to remove it. Microsoft will successfully suck the remaining marrow from their bones, thats for sure.
