> How much other research is sabotaged by fraud from top universities?

Academic fraud like the kind we are discussing occurred in many many universities across many countries. It was undetectable until recently when AIs were trained on almost the entire Internet and became very capable of showing similarities between papers from different places.

> convinced everyone to be snobs about choice of school

They did not do this. Many of these schools were not designed to be elite institutions. They reached this place in large part because of the success of the students who went through them.

> So they disproportionately screw up everyone with fraud, potentially more than whatever discoveries they make

My first point was, we don't know what way the scale tips if we only see the bad things and none of the good things.

> It can take decades and billions of dollars to undo bad research done at such a high level.

We already spend billions of dollars reproducing research for exactly this reason. Remember the unreproducible superconductivity research that had everyone excited here on HN a while ago? That wasn't able to be reproduced by many scientists. We spent definitely millions of dollars to debunk that one study. Given the scale of research in our world, we all as humans spend easily billions reproducing research already

My dude, what do you call the Apple Vision Pro? I don't like the technology or product, but they're LITERALLY making a new product line.
Talk to someone whose father was an alcoholic.
I’m not sure that’s a fair statement to make categorically.

Many zoos provide homes, food, and veterinary care for animals that would not be able to survive in the wild. For example, the mountain lion at Arizona Sonora Desert Museum is blind, and many of their other animals had been kept illegally by their previous owners, were confiscated by Arizona Game & Fish, and needed a place to live so they wouldn’t die.
This.

You can avoid 99% of all phone scams by never giving personal information out on an unsolicited call. Regardless of what the caller’s phone number appears as.

A legit caller won’t care if you call back yourself.
I don't think the final buyers are scam artists. They're mercenary, but not deceiving anyone.

The scam artists are definitely the people preying on entrepreneurs' dreams to sell a worthless accelerator membership.
Actual ovarian cancer researcher here. To be perfectly honest, it is the first time I've heard of talc or asbestos being linked to ovarian cancer.

Mesothelioma is one thing. One of the drivers of malignant mesothelioma (which is caused by inhalation of asbestos) is a chronic state of inflammation caused by the inability to remove or degrade the asbestos fibers.

But in ovarian cancer the major mechanisms are not inflammatory in nature. Depending on the type (there are a few), usually it's a mutation in a key gene that then causes other, larger alterations in the chromosomes and ultimately a malignant outcome.

Now, mutations can be caused by inflammation (in particular due to the release of reactive oxygen species or ROS), but as fa as I'm aware, mechanisms of asbestos-like chronic inflammation being a cause (not a link, a cause, I mean with a molecular explanation) are not widely reported in literature and I haven't heard anything like that from my peers (much more knowledgeable than me on the topic).
"leetcoding" 6 hours and doing "systems design" for 3 hours, totalling 9 hours of heavy cognitive math like work each day while job hunting?

Whev, i'd have an absolute mental breakdown over that. But maybe it's the kids and other responsibilities, how old are you?

I don't even think i grinded that hard in university, i've always only been able to do that kind of work 3-5 hours even when maxing out for an exam, and only for a few days at a time.

If you find a debugger that can't ruin a function's local variables then that debugger sucks.
I wish you luck. Hopefully constructive critisism follows.

> Sometimes I pass the interviews but companies goes with other candidates. I have failed some interviews too (Unable to solve the problem on the given amount of minutes by the interviewer).

Reminder: during interview, you are checked not only for technical excellence. How you communicate and deal with difficult questions matters a lot. (Maybe even more)

Also as others have mentioned, if it’s spring position, knowing spring is mandatory. (2 years seems like a plenty of times to make something with spring)

Last but not least, your linked web page has link to CV, after opening it it became clear to me that you are looking for junior position, only couple of entries about training. (Then eventually I noticed the link to PDF; please understand how this confusion on my side is not beneficial to you; also nitpick regarding PDF, it lists “completed trainig required by the company”. It does not seem relevant to next employer unless its clear what the training was about)

I’ve never even heard this mentioned as an environmental choice. It strikes me as very strange that this would be the _most effective_ choice we can make — do you have some sources?
I believe there is some market for consistency when your market is explicitly travelers.

This is probably why so many motels have chain restaurants in the parking lot: if you've just spent 7 hours in the car getting there, or are primarily staying there on the way to get somewhere else, convenient and predictable trumps good.
I grew up in the 70s, and that’s hilariously wrong. Cigarettes had warning labels in the 60s, and cigarettes were called “coffin nails” long before that.
Microsoft already did that with Windows 98, it was called Active Desktop.

And you're mixing Apple with NeXT (NeXTSTEP) and Sun (NeWS).
Just point the axis at the major body of interest, Earth, moon, Jupiter, etc., and it would slowly rotate in a stationary position, instead of spinning around you.

Or align the axis with the major light source if that is different, like the sun for inner solar system locations, and at least the lighting won't keep moving around.

Not much different from watching scenery go by in a vehicle then.
About lifting weights: The trick for me is to keep a diary of my current exercises and weight levels. (It's very simple -- just 5 mins or less to maintain each workout.) This will be very motivating if you can increase weight, reps, or number of sets ("total volume").
The science of pressure chambers have also advanced, we could just pump whatever material, like liquid air into a pressure tank and then load it into the rocket. No mixing or pumping needed just open the valve and let the pressure out and you will have a very cheap and simple rocket.

It transfers to an extent. Lance Armstrong marathon PR is 3 hours from what I read, which is a great result for an amateur runner but totally unimpressive for a professional endurance athlete, let alone one of the best in history. I was actually a bit surprised that's the fastest Lance could do and to me it shows it doesn't cross over that well.
The story starts with Genghis Khan's plunder of Merv and the mass murder that was ordered by him. It mentions the artisans who were kept alive. Then it swerves to the plunder of Merv by the Oghuz, continues in the next paragraph, and then returns to Genghis Khan by announcing his death.

Again, it returns to the artisans,but mid-paragraph (as is typical in that article), switches to battles again, and returns yet again to silk and artisans.
At last, it connects the battles and the silk together.

This is probably why it appears very hard to read. Especially, the mid-paragraph context switches continuing to the subsequent paragraph.

Nevertheless , a fascinating read.

I guess this is an answer (not in answer, mind!) to the GitHub issue I opened against SQLite-vss a couple of months ago?

Yes full non-mining nodes. I understand about pruned nodes, but that is a bonus for both networks - it means people can run a node on their mobile phone for example. The nodes have the real power in the network - they're are the people’s vote on what bitcoin really is. You can mine what you like but if my node says it's not bitcoin, it's not bitcoin. And there's many more who think like me. This has already been proven in the block-size wars - both the consensus on block-size and proof of the power of nodes vs miners.

The HW to run bitcoin is extremely cheap - less than $100. All you need is an old laptop or Raspberry Pi with a 700GB of storage, and a ham radio/dial-up internet connection to another node.

The question has a flawed premise. An option/RSU holder is not a shareholder before they exercise their options or vest their RSUs, thus should not be getting a dividend allocation (i.e. a non-zero allocation to an option holder is a disproportionate allocation). In a buyback scenario, you are essentially issuing a dividend not to the current shareholders, but splitting that cash among all authorized and not-yet-issued shares (incl. RSUs and options).
I agree with you. In fact I also think Apple has reached its limits in terms of growth, and I think Apple itself thinks the same. Besides buying back shares, Apple has (re-)started paying dividends in 2013. Meta and Alphabet also did starting this year. All the large tech companies began to feel the limit to their growth.
What does single div mean here? I looked at the source and gave up counting the number of divs, so it is not literally "this page only has one div", but ... ?
No sorry but this is not how causality works. When event B happens a thousand times after event A, you cannot conclude that A causes B. For example, there could be a confounder, that is, a third event that triggers A and then B (so not A triggers B, but this third event triggers B). See The Book of Why by Pearl for more information on causality.
By this logic, a far better thing to do for the environment is to increase access to birth control and abortions.

Raising a child costs hundreds of thousands or millions. Preventing an accidental pregnancy can cost under a dollar.
I did some research because I was also interested and I read somewhere that FB has creator fund, similar to tiktok, where you can get paid for engagement under your posts. So it seems to be a scam, where they don't even hope to display content to real users, just fake engagement and get paid by FB
His calculations are based off present day capabilities. The point of R&D is to create new capabilities. Solar also used to be a lot more expensive than it is today.
i work at amazon and can refer you. Amazon has open roles in Mexico.
It’s growing cells, you can bet your ass it’s going to happen sooner or later. It’s also definitely going to be cheaper than raising a whole cow by a mile.
They sold a whole bunch of these on the basis of it being a neat hardware gadget, only for people to find out they’d paid $200 for an app that didn’t work and the hardware is unnecessary and doesn’t do anything your phone doesn’t do.

It all just seems like a bit of a scam for these companies to be saying you need to buy their hardware in order to use their app, only to find out their app doesn’t work after you’ve paid out the money for the hardware.

If rabbit’s pitch was “pay us $200 to trial our app” they’d have had no takers.

Visiting Japan and making your life work as a resident in Japan are two wholly different things. It's wonderful to visit Iran as well.

Japan's economy has stagnated and declined, so too have real wages. Many Japanese people can't afford to enjoy or even spend time seeing the things you saw on your vacation in their own country.
Yes, it is surprising. As I mentioned, 0.4% chance of death for a 45 year old man from all causes. That's surprising. Unexplained rapid onset respiratory disease to MRSA to dead is also surprising.

More evidence is needed - that depends what you mean. Needed for what? Conviction? Arrest? Sure. Suspicion and investigation? No.
Hi,

We can only track impacts on the earth if we witness them or find evidence. The majority of objects that get through the earth's atmosphere without burning up will impact in the ocean, which covers 70% of the surface, and leave no trace. And we can't observe or know about impacts that occurred prior to human beings keeping track of them. We just have estimates.

We have no way to know how many objects struck the moon since it formed, if the solar system contained fewer or more such objects that might strike the moon during all of that time, with no one observing or measuring. It's possible that 90% of the impact craters on the moon happened in the first million years after it was formed, then the supply of objects in intersecting orbits got exhausted, and the rate of impacts declined. How could we guess at that? And supposing we did guess, how would that help us derive the age of the moon -- your original question? Besides an estimate of the rate of impacts since the moon was formed, we would still need to know how long the moon existed to sustain those impacts.

Other problems occur to me, mainly that later impacts would wipe out traces of earlier impacts, so we can't even count the impact craters. The size of an impact crater depends both on the mass of the object that struck the moon and its velocity, so just knowing the rate of impact without knowing the masses and velocities doesn't tell us enough. And we're still left not know over what period of time the moon accumulated those impact craters -- its age -- which would have to be part of any calculation involving a rate. Do you understand that rate means the number of incidents happening over a given duration of time?
If Spring is popular, and you want a Java job, you should learn Spring. Not knowing Spring puts you at a disadvantage compared to other candidates. I wouldn't waste time learning Scala or Haskell, those aren't very popular in the industry — focus on something that can land you a job, check what languages and frameworks are the most popular in Mexican companies and learn those.
Do also note that re-encoding can also be used as part of the exploit. E.g. Team Fortress 2 recently had one that exploited a similar system.
Sorry to hear about that. It's painful continuing to get rejected after investing time and effort into a companies recruitment process.

I've typically had pretty good success landing jobs and a lot of the time, it doesn't come down to the technical skills, but what I like to call 'the vibe check'.

Obviously, having the right experience is important, but I typically focus on a few things that might be missed:

- Analysing the business and understanding their brand and culture so you can speak their language during the interview
- Showing interest in their broader business goals
- When explaining technical challenges you've faced, describing how you took those learnings away and applied them to a problem you faced in the future

Not hard tips, but after doing this I definitely got more job offers.

Firstly, the decision needs to be made whether we allow people to use automation and these games have already said no, which is the agreed upon consensus for players. We don't want to allow cheats or people to automate their gameplay.

We want the developers to provide the constraints so that there is a fair playground, they do this via the game mechanics and preventing outside automation. We just want to play games using the mechanics provided to us, we don't want to focus on building automation to outsmart the competition, we want to outsmart the competition by being a better player when everything is considered equal.

I am automatically against people who make bots or copilots in games that explicitly say you can't use them, in games where the players don't want them and don't want to up against them. That is the whole point.

These anti-cheat solutions are combatting people making or using copilots in games where people don't want them and where the rules say you can't use them. That is the whole point.

Obviously I do not see any way for Russia to enter EU as a member state. Like Norway, as you said, it could only be integrated while being outside of the bloc. But, it would be a two-way road and there has to be EU goodwill to do so.

But the truth is, I've not seen any concrete steps from the EU to enable that. I'm pretty sure that Putin's government was quite positive towards EU/USA up and until 2008 with its Munich speech.

Russians saw nothing good from the EU and instead admitting that fact they are fed with offensive bullshit about dead journalists they have no business with.

When Russians wanted to get rid of Putin in 2011-2012, EU and USA basically brought popcorn and did nothing. So, nothing happened and Putin remained in power, and had to double down on potential coups. Then he saw Maidan coup as an existential danger and had to make sure it doesn't end well.
That's only interesting to the extent that an organization has operations in China. Google was mostly ejected from the Chinese market years ago, I thought -- hence Baidu largely taking its place there.

It would be telling if despite that rejection, they were still open to taking direction from Beijing. Google at one point was fairly friendly with US DoD. Clearly the national loyalty of multinationals isn't guaranteed.
The article you linked to is highly unscientific and inaccurate.

Please take up Jabob's offer above.

I don't want to be overly critical and I wish you the best of luck in your search but your website/resume is not helping you. Whether it's the 1998 Geocities UI/look & feel (hard to read) or the obvious spelling errors (Bacherlor's Degree), you are not putting your best foot forward. It is difficult for someone to determine where your experience is and what type of IT job you are looking for.

Suggestion: Revise your resume and have 3-4 people in the industry review/critique it honestly. Keep refining until you have something that is generating more interest.

Put yourself in a hiring person's shoes. You need to fill a position and are looking through a few dozen applications / resumes. You have 5-20 seconds to attract their interest. What changes do you need to make to engage that person and make them want to reach out for further discussion? Good luck - these changes are not hard and you can do it!
I wouldn't be surprised at that, but I personally would still at least stay out the day. And sit down with someone and tell them.

I guess the chance is small people will remember them, but you never know where you'll come across someone again - I had someone (that I thankfully had better memories of) that had worked for me show apply for a totally different position at a different company where I was the hiring manager without knowing I worked there, for example...
90% of people regain weight because they go back to eating like they have a death wish.

I think conflating between mental health and eating is at the heart of the obesity epidemic. Nobody will die if they skip a few meals. They will suffer some moderate discomfort depending on how much they fixate on it.

I can go a week without eating and a few days is trivial. The longest a human has gone without food is 381 days and they lost 275 lbs

To provide a counterpoint: were companies in the early days of the word wide web that started using the web to enable people do do things online that they couldn’t before not web startups?

All they were doing was using the technology innovations of other companies (browsers, ISPs, etc) applying a thin slice on top that targeted them at a particular problem.

I see the AI/LLM world as much the same. You’ve got some companies building the infrastructure (OpenAI etc) that enables others to layer bits on top to solve human/business problems.

I guess the argument is that “couldn’t the LLM just do the whole thing on its own”, but the reality of that is no.
