> But talking to researchers, they see publishing more like making a new branch in a repository.

Well some do, others don't. Like the one who wrote the article this is a discussion of.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

> Replication is one of the central issues in any empirical science. To confirm results or hypotheses by a repetition procedure is at the basis of any scientific conception. A replication experiment to demonstrate that the same findings can be obtained in any other place by any other researcher is conceived as an operationalization of objectivity. It is the proof that the experiment reflects knowledge that can be separated from the specific circumstances (such as time, place, or persons) under which it was gained.

Or, in short, "one is none". One might turn into more than one, it might not. Until it does, it's not real.

more snippets from the above WP article:

> This experiment was part of a series of three studies that had been widely cited throughout the years, was regularly taught in university courses

> what the community found particularly upsetting was that many of the flawed procedures and statistical tools used in Bem’s studies were part of common research practice in psychology.

> alarmingly low replication rates (11-20%) of landmark findings in preclinical oncological research

> A 2019 study in Scientific Data estimated with 95% confidence that of 1,989 articles on water resources and management published in 2017, study results might be reproduced for only 0.6% to 6.8%, even if each of these articles were to provide sufficient information that allowed for replication

I'm not saying it couldn't be fine to just publish things because they "could be interesting". But the overall situation seems like quite the dumpster fire to me. As does software, FWIW.

Just off the top of my head. Interestingly enough I'd never heard of Kids in the Hall before today. But all of those are or were "Big Names" in music.

If we're talking about weird incentives and academia you hit on one of the worst ones right here, I think, since nothing there is very closely connected to helping students learn.

I know that's a dead horse, but it's VERY easy to find reasons that we shouldn't be too closely attached to the status quo.

Hell, that's how startup funding works, or market economies in general. Top-down, non-redundant systems are way more fragile than distributed ecosystems. If you don't have the competition and the complete disconnection, you so much more easily fall into political games of "how do we get this published even if it ain't great" vs "how do we find shit that will survive the competition"

Show HN: Excluence- Query blockchain data using SQL
Hi there,

We've built this project as an experiment to address a common challenge faced by dapps in the blockchain realm. Often, dapps require access to event indexers to extract past data such as NFT sales data and NFT metadata. While there are reliable event data API providers available, they might not always cater to unconventional dapp requirements. In such cases, developers have to write their own indexers.

During hackathons, we encountered the same issue, and that's why we developed an event indexer and an API system that allows developers to query event data using SQL.

Although providing direct access to the public may seem unrealistic due to security concerns, we found a roundabout solution. Instead of taking raw SQL as input, we use ParcelQL, a SQL written as JSON, which is later transpiled into SQL. ParcelQL allows us to control what can be translated into SQL and enables us to utilize pre-built, robust SQL tools to avoid SQL Injections. Our system is based on Postgresql, which provides deep query capabilities, even on JSON data types (event payload). Postgresql-JSON functions have proven to be performant and competitive with other solutions like MongoDB.

The API we've designed only grants read access to the table, and we've implemented automatic query cancellation in case of timeouts to prevent system overloading and SQL Injections.

We've meticulously prepared documentation about the API and ParcelQL to make it easier for developers to understand and use.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the project and any suggestions or improvements you might have. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continue to enhance and refine our system.

And we really want to understand whether this project can be converted into a product or not?

Thank you for taking the time to review our project!
Wow, that is so cool! I’ve fiddled with Conways game of life a lot, implementing it recursively in SQLite, various languages, explored variations of it; I knew you could simulate it inside the game, but this is mind blowingly cool! And it’s so smoothly done, it’s like stepping through the looking glass.

yes, it is also a training set problem. training on real-world data will reproduce racial bias, because racial bias exists in the world. racism in, racism out.

I learned relatively recently what survival of the fittest actually means. That the mutation which was capable enough to adapt to the environment survived. Before, I use to think that species deliberately created better offsprings for new environments.

Worktime flexibility helps a lot IMHO.

If I do laundry and quick groceries in my worktime it's a lot less of an issue if I have to log in to quickly flag an error outside my worktime. Balance is still needed, but that's a world of difference when flexibility goes both ways.

Genuinely curious: what are you working on that makes POSIX compatibility important, but also warrants using Wasm instead of just building native executables?

I ask because I'm personally much more excited about the future of WASI, because it brings so much to the table that it feels like it's actually worth the effort of building something new — I see it as a game changer. I.e. what you appear to view as an unnecessary diversion, I see as the whole point. So I'd love to understand more about your perspective and use case.

The baseline HL7 FHIR standard is more of a toolkit than something intended for real-world interoperability. Fortunately there are multiple FHIR accelerators such as CodeX, Argonaut, Da Vinci, etc which write detailed Implementation Guides for specific use cases. Any organization can follow those IGs and be confident of achieving meaningful interoperability. Some of them are even mandated by federal regulations.

If every facial recognition camera was set up by a professional wedding photographer we'd be golden.

But seriously, the minimum requirements for contrast and low-light sensitivity for facial recognition cameras should be raised, and the algorithms should do a better job of specifying confidence.

Similar experience with an extra twist.

I hadn't been to a dentist in 10 years, not even for a cleaning. I chipped tooth and went in to get it fixed.

The dentist tried to upsell me on a ton of things that needed to be looked at.

Never once mentioned that it looked like I hadn't had a cleaning in a while.

I got my tooth fixed (just a bit of bonding), never had any of the other work he recommended done.

I went to a new dentist a few months ago because I was starting to get some sensitivity and exposure at a gum, which I thought was really bad. He said it wasn't a big deal, fixed it up, but then says he wants to cap all of my teeth!

Happy to be reading this and think I'll wait on getting any more work.
But presumably the AI is just identifying faces, not judging who is and is not a criminal

Well, when the data gets above 1000 items, you have to start filtering, finding, or revisualizing it to be useful. You can no longer keep the whole dataset comfortably in your head, or even on screen.

For revisualizing, it might be comfortable to plot it on a 2D map or to simply graph an interesting scalar.

For revisualizing in a 3D spatial setting... I haven't seen any actual good 3D spatial layout of data. Disregarding "experiences" (like art galleries, which lay out data in a way to promote interest in a topic and fractal-like amounts of subtopics, but is human curated, like Saganworks[1]), the only one I guess is like the high level "portal" to categories of data. Like "Documents", "Downloads", etc but think 500+ categories of more granular entity types. Everything is non-comparable apples and oranges (except for perhaps shared common data like timestamp) and there's no way to quickly scan it (5 or so seconds to find alphabetically perhaps), so spatial might help to quickly locate your entity type with muscle memory. I haven't seen another use case, but would love to explore what others are doing in this space!

Growth isn't just determined by some video game tech tree. It is determined by a large number of other factors.

> Thinking they will suddenly go to 1% is just ridiculus in my view when they have so much left.

One way that "growth" can go down is by simply marking down the value of existing capital projects.

In China's case, this would be all the debt and real estate that they have, which is overvalued.

You can borrow lots of money over the short and medium term, to create fake growth, but eventually there is a limit to debt fueled projects. And china is starting to hit that limit of an overleveraged economy.

IE, that powerplant, that was previously "included" in previous growth rate metrics as being "worth" 1 billion dollars, is actually only worth 500 million dollars, even if "the books" say otherwise right now.

If all those capital intensive to create buildings that they have are actually worth half as much as they are incorrect marked on the books right now, that would account for the "apparent" decrease in growth that will happen over the next decades, even though technically it would just be revealing past fake/debt fueled growth.

Does that make sense how if they lose X trillion dollars (but over time!) because of overvalued real estate/capital projects, that this would account for an apparent decrease in growth, even if china still has gains from other parts of the economy?

It’s not just the “techno-elites”, it is elites of all stripes. I grew up in DC with exactly the sorts of interactions you might imagine, none of those people are techies, and they all have similar anti-social media views.

AFAICT, most of what they really take issue with is intrinsic to allowing direct communication between anyone in the world. There seem to be severely anti-democratic implications for many of the critiques of Meta that I hear.

Truly the only place where the techies seem to diverge is that they care about privacy, whereas it is about “fake news” for everyone else.

I want to echo what jstx1 said, but I'll try to expand.

Firstly, I think you sound a little entitled. Maybe that's not how you present yourself, but your post read to me like you feel you're very accomplished and companies are not giving you the recognition you deserve. If that's how you're presenting yourself that's obviously going to be off putting.

Secondly, despite the huge experience dump, you haven't really given me any clue of what you actually do... Like at all.

You could be applying for senior leadership roles given your experience as "CEO" & "VP/Director of Engineering" and with experience in "international business", "sales and marketing", "supply chain management", etc.

But you seem to have experience in manufacturing, so maybe you're looking for some kind of product design / manufacturing role?

You also have experience in web development, so maybe you're looking for a web development role?

You also list experience with embedded systems, so maybe you're for a job as an embedded systems engineer?

You also experience with app development, so maybe you're for a job as an app developer?

I have no doubt you've accomplished a lot, but companies hire people who can help them with specific roles. No company is looking for someone with experience with jQuery and CNC milling, for example. So unfortunately as accomplished as I'm sure you are the vast majority of the experience you listed here is worthless since it's not complimentary. If you had instead listed a several programming languages and frameworks which you worked with over the course of a couple of decades then that would have suggested to me – one, what you do and the roles you're applying for; and two, that you're a very knowledgable software engineer. At which point I'd also be thinking, "hmm, weird this guy can't seem to find work".

Listing a bunch of unassociated roles and experience over your career raises far more questions about how much experience you have with any of the specific skills listed. Keep this in mind when applying for roles and ensure you're tailoring your resume appropriately.

Generally the following are good assumptions to make:

- If you don't get interviews there's something wrong with your profile – either you have the wrong experience, or you're not selling that experience well in your resume.

- If you get interviews and are able to answer technical questions then there's something with your with communication skills. Companies probably don't think you'll be a good company / team fit for some reason. You should try to understand why.

- If you're getting interviews but can't give good answers to technical questions, then your issue is experience.

So what do you actually do? What is your experience in that role? And where are you falling short?

Answering these answers will probably help you understand where you're going wrong and how to better sell yourself. And if you want to share, then I'm happy to give my thoughts.
