I actually find Clojure's syntax more confusing with all the punctuation they threw at it. Compare that, for example, with Scheme. I like the idea of keeping Lisps "pure" if that makes sense. In Lisp, the first element of a list is the operator. Okay, then how is Clojure a Lisp when it has vectors like this [1 2 3]? Unless [ is a macro that expands [1 2 3] to some real Lisp-y expression under the hood.
My point is that we can, apparently, improve the baseline expectations in the parts of science where this kind of reproducibility is possible. That isn't all science, granted, but it is some science. It isn't a panacea, granted, but it could guard against some forms of misconduct or honest error some of the time. The self-correcting part of science only works when there's something for it to work on, so open data and runnable code ought to improve that self-correction mechanism.
Or as "hey ARM, we'll replace you anyway, but if you sweeten the deal we won't hurry"
No subset of humanity is “pure hearted.” Fraud and malice will exist in everything people do. Fortunately these fraudulent incidents seem relatively rare, when one compares the number of reported incidents to the number of publications and scientists. But this doesn’t change anything. The benefit of scientific publication is to make it easier to detect and verify incorrect results, which is exactly what happened in this case.

I understand that it’s frustrating it didn’t happen instantly. And I also understand that it’s deeply frustrating that some undeserving person accumulated status points with non-scientists based on fraud, and that let them take a high-status position outside of their field. (I think maybe you should assign some blame to the Stanford Trustees for this, but that’s up to you.) None of this means we’d be better off making publication more difficult: it means the metrics are bad.

PS When a TFA raises something like “the replication crisis” and then entangles it with accusations of deliberate fraud (high profile but exceedingly rare) it’s like trying to have a serious conversation about automobile accidents, but spending half the conversation on a handful of rare incidents of intentional vehicular homicide. You’re not going to get useful solutions out of this conversation, because it’s (perhaps deliberately) misunderstanding the impact and causes of the problem.
Seemed odd that there was so much details refuting it on the points prior to 10.4

Maybe its just a coincidence.

Or maybe it’s two angles perfectly coinciding.
> I don't see how this could ever work, and non-scientists seem to often dramatically underestimate the amount of work it would be to replicate every published paper.

The alternative is a bunch of stuff being published which people belief as "science" that doesn't hold up under scrutiny, which undermines the reliability of science itself. The current approach simply gives people reason to be skeptical.
You'd be surprised how much chat happens as a side channel. Further, collecting questions means that the presentation material would have to be out there first, and that misses the point of the town halls, where financials and other initiatives are often first presented to the larger organization.
This isn't just not easy, it would probably be extremely political to change the structure of the NSF, National Labs, all universities and colleges, etc., so dramatically.
My info is wrong. I saw a documentary about it once but I must have misunderstood.
I don't think that's the problem. Data and observations are the same thing. You are saying we need more observations to explain the current observations.

No, we need new theories to explain the current observations.
You can also buy concentrated stock packages and just bring them to a simmer with however much water you want to use for the consistency. I basically never bother with doing it from scratch these days.
So, where is the free market supply/demand miracle to build more power supply here? It is a Republican state, right, can't blame anti-market Democrats for this.

Is it time lag? By the time someone thinks to build more power, it is winter again and everyone is like 'man, kind of chilly, nah-we're good'.
Can’t run ai on employees in personal as easily so their meetings are secure.
If productivity is down just hold people accountable for their deliverables. Increase the number of milestones and have the managers actually manage. Do you know what people get away with at these companies? There are people that get away with not working for months (in companies like google, make that years).

edit: by increase the number of milestones i don't mean increase the amount of work, i mean increase the amount of times people need to demonstrate they actually did something.

Not necessarily. I have spent nearly four decades with a good portion of that working for very large orgs. Those politics, KPIs, and incentives are not always misaligned with what is best for the organization, but may be misaligned with what some people lower in the org think is what’s best for the organization.

You know what you think you know, but you don’t know what you don’t know.
If putting up wind keeps CO2 out of the ocean, I would think it is net positive. Ocean acidification, less calcium available for making shells, and then the affect of ocean warming on coral and knock on effects of losing those coral ecosystems are pretty terrible for the whole marine ecosystem. A couple pylons for turbines, I doubt that scratches the surface.

Everything thing in the ocean seems to LOVE structure. They build on our detritus as easily as rocks
Maybe the numerous complaints about the crisis of science are somehow related to the fact that scientific work is severely underpaid.

The pay difference between research and industry in many areas is not even funny.
HN is human-moderated, by both members and staff moderators. There is ... limited ... automatic moderation. Which means that some things do slip through the cracks.

(There are multiple mods, though dang is the public face.)

If you see something, say something: by flagging every-day dreck, or by emailing mods in the case of something exceptionally bad.

I do both. Flagging is a daily thing, email for abuse / transgressions maybe a few times a quarter.

Edit: Clarified first 'graph.
Investors are the landlords, if indirectly. To be honest, I always wondered how much of the venture capital would turn into revenue for other investments.

Assume, you own Microsoft stock and are a venture capitalist. How do you react to your latest investment considering to buy AWS vs. Azure? The same pattern might apply in many more direct forms. Where does that fruit basket come from? What headhunting agancy do you trust with your top-level hiring?

I wouldn't be surprised if most VCs would mitigate their risks by funneling a startup's expenses back to their own investmentsnin one way or another. Vacant office space is just another such investment.
There is an opt out -- don't use Zoom.
Every startup is an AI company now. Bubble fears are growing
I also thought checked exceptions in Java were fantastic. They are a form of statically checked effects. I would like to see more of this sort of thing not less.
With electricity: Free markets, deregulation. Free for all. Disregulated.

Just the way critical utilities should be provided and consumed, without reliability.
Hah, that explains why all the quoted prices seem low compared to what they are now.
Yeah. Excellent point. The free market hardliners' counterargument is that "well, it's not in companies' best financial interest to sell poisonous chocolate, so we can trust them not to do it to the best of their ability."

But that assumes consumers can tell when they're being poisoned. If a person drops dead immediately after eating a candy bar... sure, that's pretty obvious. But long-term harms can't be easily attributed to a single product.

The free market is a very very useful tool. So is government regulation. Both of them also are wholly inadequate on their own.
And I thought that it couldn't get any worse than huge pre-COVID openspaces...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English

> The earliest traces of a loss of /r/ in English appear in the early 15th century and occur before coronal consonants, especially /s/, giving modern ass 'buttocks' (Old English ears, Middle English ers or ars), and bass (fish) (OE bærs, ME bars). A second phase of the loss of /r/ began during the 15th century and was characterized by sporadic and lexically variable deletion, such as monyng 'morning' and cadenall 'cardinal'. Those spellings without /r/ appeared throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, but they were uncommon and were restricted to private documents, especially those written by women. No English authorities described loss of /r/ in the standard language before the mid-18th century, and many did not fully accept it until the 1790s.

This would suggest that it was on the rise during Shakespeare's time.

> Americans today pronounce some words more like Shakespeare than Brits do… but it’s in 18th-Century England where they’d really feel at home.

> It makes for a great story: when settlers moved from England to the Americas from the 17th Century, their speech patterns stuck in place. That was particularly true in more isolated parts of the US, such as on islands and in mountains. As a result, the theory goes, some Americans speak English with an accent more akin to Shakespeare’s than to modern-day Brits.

> That’s not entirely right. The real picture is more complicated.

> One feature of most American English is what linguists call ‘rhoticity’, or the pronunciation of ‘r’ in words like ‘card’ and ‘water’. It turns out that Brits in the 1600s, like modern-day Americans, largely pronounced all their Rs. Marisa Brook researches language variation at Canada’s University of Victoria. “Many of those immigrants came from parts of the British Isles where non-rhoticity hadn’t yet spread,” she says of the early colonists. “The change towards standard non-rhoticity in southern England was just beginning at the time the colonies became the United States.”
>Peer review does not serve to assure replication, but assure readability and comprehensibility of the paper.

I have had a paper rejected twice in a row over the last year. Both times the comments include something like "paper was very well-wriiten; well-written enough that an undergrad could read it".

Peer review ensures the gates are kept.
I would presume that if a bag passes a scanner, and the tag is folded over itself or not visible for some reason, and no barcode is detected, it would get shunted to somewhere for manual scanning. Maybe that's assuming too much.

I guess the tag could get torn off entirely, but they seem pretty tough. I've never been able to just tear one off, they have to be cut off with scisors.

There is no direct linkage. Since the Chinese capital account is closed by definition the Chinese central bank is holding on to foreign assets with yuan liabilities. When the exporter gets paid the central

Supply/demand in dysregulated electricity just means to pocket the additional profit until user behaviour changes and let prices lag coming down.

I mean, to some extent, the non-aeronatics part also has some of this. SpaceX picked up propulsive landing and friction stir welding expertise from NASA, to name just two things. (This is not to imply there is anything underhanded about this.)

I think the way to make this work would be to ease transition of technical experts to/from private industry, carrying the know how in their heads.
Ok sample of N = 1, but here it goes.

Flossing daily was the single thing that imroved my dental hygiene more than anything else. Brushing, mouthwash, fluoride treatment, gum laser treatment, regular dentist visits, nothing worked. Still had bleeding gum, pain here and there, bad smell, unstopabble tooth decay.

In my mid 20-s I started flossing daily (even multiple times when I feel like food is stuck). Really my mouth problems all went away.

I wish someone had shown me in an earlier age the benefits. I would have saved a lot of my teeth.
I don't know, I saw it in Paris over the weekend (separately) and everyone was remarkably well behaved. Maybe a North American thing...
Yup! Complete with the inevitable government bailout that socializes failure while privatizing profits.

Beautiful machines. I can’t really find a purpose for them, so I’m not buying. I got a Mac Mini in 2018 and used it for Xcode Build Server, but when the project finished, it was left unused. My current project has a dedicated devops who prefers Jenkins running somewhere in the cloud.
Or maybe instead of a conspiracy companies are just finding work isn't getting done and although people are loudly proclaiming productivity the work isn't materializing.
You wrote your comment as though it's not ok, while you can play it offline in single player just fine.

But there's optional Cross-Platform save sync (independent of the steam one) and multiplayer.

Anyway, as a person who bounced off of the previous entries of this genre I'm really enjoying this one, and I'm very happy for the success the studio is having - they deserve it!
I played this on the Switch. It's fine on the Switch.

I'll say that with most "role playing" games (e.g. Witcher 3), you'll be tempted to try and be the most noble options; or think that the 'right' option is to succeed at everything. -- You can do that in Disco Elysium. But the game offers other options and encourages you to role play as the character.

-- e.g. in one conversation early on which you have with a woman (who is clearly upset at having to talk to you), there's a dialogue option where you claim you're the master of love and will hook her up with the hotel manager.

The game's writing is very engaging and intelligent; it's very easy to get immersed in it.
What’s the saying.. At every meeting something is sold, either a reason why you’re buying, or a reason why you’re not buying.
I found the sum example somewhat vexing. The right answer there should have been to just use the `sum` builtin directly rather than adding that silly extra function.
If it was the case of some individual contributors' productivity dropping because of WFH then yes, you can pinpoint that person, return him to the office and put a manager next to him to make him work

But recent years brought me to conclusion that many people have a need for in person communication, and your morale, productivity and even mental health going down little by little every day you interact with others only digitally.
You can not fix this, if you bring back to office only selected few. You have to bring back the whole teams — so if a person goes to the office, everyone he works with and interacts with are also there
It does seem unlikely the SF VC exists due to SF real estate, interesting theory though, I'm all ears.
I don't think it'd work like that. If anyone's underperforming should they be identified and handled through the process you'd normally follow, not by specifically retracting home-office priviledges as a punishment.

From what I've seen (anecdotally of course, a few friends) these "no more home office" orders don't tend to come as a response to any objectively measured drop in productivity, they come from CEOs and managers who benefit from being able to control things or crack the whip in-person.
I made my career with managers thinking that I could produce much better than the majority of their employees. The reality was that I would do things like: "Come in a hour before the other employees" or "work an extra hours after I got home".

In those quiet times I could accomplish more work than the 8 hours in an open office where every phone or person walking by was a distraction. Management thought I was so good, but the reality is that open offices are so inefficient they cut productivity by 80% and I worked around their inefficiently.

WFH evened the playing field for a while, because others became more efficient but the incompetence of insecure managers is reestablishing their inefficient open offices again.
Yes, obviously it doesn't, I'm making a general observation.

I apologize for being off-topic.
I'm a huge fan of Michael Penn's intro to various subfields of math videos, like the one on vertex algebras. He does a great job of balancing definition with motivation so that it doesn't feel like wading through a meaningless sea of symbols.

You are lucky if that is really an _option_ for you. Hybrid work usually means that "team" (i.e. the boss) decides which N days a week everyone must come to the office and compliance is not really optional.

It should be. It supports LAN connections as well.
It's time lag. Texas is home to the most and the largest grid battery projects, at least in the US right now. We are also having an explosion of renewables including solar and wind.

But all of that takes time. Some of it has come online and is helping, and proce jumps like this will continue to attract more of those projects.
I'm sorry for making completely off-topic comments. I'll try to refrain from doing that in the future.
That playbook has been around loooong before the 2010s VC-boom. It's pretty much as old as history itself.

Aristotle complained about some dude corning the market in Olive Presses back in 300ish BC.

I wouldn't bet on humans changing any time soon.
Most responsible Texas utility customers have long term contracts. There are people who choose not to have a structured power arrangement and choose to pay spot pricing (which can be very cheap!) and they are the ones exposed to this risk.

So the market is working exactly as it's supposed to? It's also really friggin hot right now.

> the FTP protocol had a "binary mode" and a "text mode" because you can't safely transfer binary data from machines with incompatible word sizes and endianness

I'm not sure to follow you here. The TYPE modes are ASCII, IMAGE, EBCDIC and Local byte size.
The "binary mode" being Image and "text mode" being ASCII in current FTP clients.

The IMAGE mode is the one that actually transfers file as they really are without any changes. The other 3 formats are actually used for character conversion, with an additional parameters to specify telnet or ASA conversion, and even changing the byte size in case of L.

In the end, the "text mode" is the one that will tend to corrupt your file (thanks to the CR/LF, LF/CR, LF discrepancy between the 3 major desktop OS).

Always choose TYPE IN (Image Non-print) by default!
Grinning and bearing abusive customers is not the default state of the world, there are societies where abusive customers are not tolerated at all and thus very rare.
As folks have said... investors are not actually concerned about the companies they invest in... they are concerned about the balance sheet of their portfolios.

Once they begin, I believe you’re pretty much stuck there until the dentist is done, and that’s a lot of drilling.

Not looking forward to ever needing anything like that.
I understand how crowns work.

My issue is that one dentist thought it was an emergency and it obviously isn’t. It’s not the optionality, it’s that one said it was not optional.

And that one dentist charged $3000 and one $1800. And they don’t have options. That is the only price they charge.
What Jobs did is make the right decisions. The rest of the company that was 90 days from bankruptcy was the same.
