I would not be surprised by this number given the sheer volume of crap journals that publish anything. However I would expect that the proportion of fakery in papers with >20 citations is much lower than 1 in 7, which should be somewhat reassuring. Remember that a p-value of 0.05 means that 1 in 20 studies cannot be replicated by random chance alone without any malicious intent.

Side note: the “1 in 7” claim from this paper is based on a straw-poll of N=12 existing forensic metascientific papers. I find it somewhat ironic that the author makes some strong conclusions based on this number which to me, though very plausible, is itself lacking scientific rigor.
Some bozo realtor tried to pitch this as a benefit to me, in some falling-down shack priced for 1.8 million dollars. I was offended. If your house has one of these holes in the wall, close it during the insulation retrofit the place undoubtedly needs.
When I was a junior in high school, the Advanced English teacher was also the AP English teacher. All the juniors had to write a term paper, and she had the seniors in the AP class give our papers' first draft a once over and give notes.

Both classes got a lesson, from either end, essentially for free (for the teacher). And it really helped. The next year I got to do the same. Of note was that this was back in the day when computers were relatively rare and typing was a skill that was specially taught, so most of the papers were written longhand for the first draft.

It's long been said that if you really want to learn a subject you should teach it. This sort of give-and-take works well, and it is more or less how the rest of society works. Using AI for this would be quite similar, but I think having another human is better. An AI will never stop you in the hall and say "dude, your paper, I got totally lost in the middle section, what the hell," but sometimes that's quite helpful.
Musk hasn't to my knowledge financed any architectural design projects for a long-term livable Mars habitat that can sustain itself without constant inputs from Earth.

I suspect this is because the most casual analysis reveals incredible difficulties - the structures would have to be buried under a few meters of regolith to avoid constant radiation burn, and the ration of human living space to plant growing space (for food) would have to be about 1:6 I'd guess. The amount of material required to build such a structure for 100 humans? Let alone maintenance, etc.

If realistic plans were actually presented no doubt everyone would start laughing, which is why we haven't seen any mock-ups, VR models, etc.
> Instead you had to waste more time

I'm not so sure that writing takes more time than studying. For starters, you don't have to memorize anything, and you can limit yourself to the assigned topic.

Of course, it can be that students don't take studying for an oral exam seriously, and trust the teacher to only ask superficial questions.
You're not necessarily wrong, but GP did say "slowly and gradually" and "in the name of public safety." They weren't saying we're there now, or that this step is equivalent to big brother.

Nothing proposed as an alternative scales well and - ironically - it's likely that something _like_ an LLM will be used to evaluate pupil quality / progress over time.
Fun fact: pure research positions don't pay as well.

Where do you get this from? The people I know with pure research positions get paid basically the same (after correcting for 'rank' and seniority) as those who split their time between research and teaching.
Every student falsely accused of cheating will be one less ally teachers have when they start complaining about being replaced by AI.
ULA address clashes are possible, but yes it's highly unlikely
I’ve been teaching in higher education for 30 years and am soon retiring. I teach math. In every math course there is massive amounts of cheating on everything that is graded that is not proctored in a classroom setting. Locking down browsers and whatnot does not prevent cheating.

The only solution is to require face-to-face proctored exams and not allow students to use technology of any kind while taking the test. But any teacher doing this will end up with no students signing up for their class. The only solution I see is the Higher Learning Commission mandating this for all classes.

But even requiring in person proctored exams is not the full solution. Students are not used to doing the necessary work to learn. They are used to doing the necessary work to pass. And that work is increasingly cheating. It’s a clusterfuck. I have calculus students who don’t know how to work with fractions. If we did truly devise a system that prevents cheating we’ll see that a very high percentage of current college students are not ready to be truly college educated.

K-12 needs to be changed as well.

Doesn't seem to have really worked for MS though, as evidenced by their many significant security lapses over the last several years.

The US Gov even officially called them out on it a few months ago, specifically singling out MS for their atrocious repeated security fuck ups.

I'm not going to sugar coat it and it may sound harsh, but I doubt this is ever truly an issue outside of the minute edge cases.

Yes, there are people who have trouble with public speaking to a debilitating degree, but it would be excessively rare for someone to not at the very least in a one on one with their professor/teacher be able to be so badly affected as to not seem they've even heard of a topic or at least be able to prove they've worked on it to a certain degree.

I would be immediately skeptical of any student who claims they are completely unable to explain their knowledge unless they are allowed to work in complete isolation with nobody to monitor they aren't cheating in some way.
Not at McKinsey, but one of their competitors. I have to say there is a lot of unhealthy behavior being rewarded in lots of ways across the spectrum of consulting.

There is real work to be done in the consulting world. Its just that there are perverse incentives to not be the one doing it.

Whether an engagement is successful or goes down in flames isn't obviously apparent until it is nearly completed. Everything feels like a high school class project where the goal is to DO as little as possible and if its successful to grab as much credit as you can, and if it fails, to distance yourself from it.

I like to host my own software because I am the owner of my server and my data. I believe there are two solutions where you have the absolute control of your setup in terms of addressing: 1. Set up a private VPN tunnel e.g Wireguard between a public VPS and your homelab. 2. Set up a dynamic DNS. I don’t like using propietary software where I don’t have the control. And I’m not sure if Cloudflare tunnels can route every type of traffic. Plus, should we trust Cloudflare?
Although identifying outright fraud is important, I think collectively the bigger, more systemic damage is done by other things that are more subtle: material that falls in a gray area (of questionable research practices, or even less obvious than that), studies that repeat what is obvious at some point (and I don't mean replication per se, which is important, but something more basic than that), the way credit is asserted and inferred, and so forth and so on.

Identifying fraud is critical but I worry a bit that baserates of such statistics get processed as an estimate of "what proportion of science is problematic", when the problems are broader than that.

In moderation, yes. The problem with OOP, like all other paradigms that came before, is applying it dogmatically and excessively, which always happens when there's a lot of hype, novelty, and $$$ to be made.
The last time I got an ID photo taken, I got to wait and watch as the dark-skinned Indian photographer repeatedly struggled to take a suitable passport photo of the light-skinned white woman who was in line directly ahead of me.

This was at a long-established mall shop that specialized in photography products and services. The same photographer had taken suitable photos of some other people in line ahead of us rather quickly.

The studio area was professional enough, with a backdrop, with dedicated photography lighting, with ample lighting in the shop beyond that, and with an adjustable stool for the subject to sit on.

The camera appeared to be a DSLR with a lens and a lens hood, similar enough to what I've seen professional wedding photographers use. It was initially on a tripod, although the photographer eventually removed it during later attempts.

Despite being in a highly-controlled purpose-built environment, and using photography equipment much better than that of a typical laptop or phone camera, the photographer still couldn't take a suitable photo of this particular woman, despite repeated attempts and adjustments to the camera's settings and to the environment.

Was the photographer "racist"? I would guess not, given the effort he put in, and the frustration he was exhibiting at the lack of success.

Was the camera "racist"? No, obviously not.

Sometimes it can just be difficult to take a suitable photo, even when using higher-end equipment in a rather ideal environment.

It has nothing to do with "racism".
>public trust in science.

The argument that science should be trusted (believed) is insane, the whole point of science is questioning everything and deferring skepticism only in lieu of anything that can disprove.

Trusting science is just another form of religion, especially since science ("science"?) is often positioned as the rival to religion.
Yes, except that it avoids the possibility of a floating-point error. In most SQL implementations, `RANDOM()` can return zero, but the log of 0 is undefined.

From the article:

> One last numerical subtlety. Why do we generate random numbers with the expression `1.0 - RANDOM()` instead of just `RANDOM()`? Since most implementations of RANDOM(), such as the PCG implementation used by DuckDB, return a floating-point value in the semi-closed range [0, 1), they can theoretically return zero. And we don’t want to take the logarithm of zero. So we instead use `1.0 - RANDOM()` to generate a random number in the semi-closed range (0, 1], which excludes zero.
When I worked at a podcast host I was tasked to implement WebPubSub support to our podcast feeds. This introduced a “push” updates rather than requiring an indexer to constantly recheck the xml file. The idea seeems to not have caught on. At the time I think Google was the only indexer supporting the feature and I’m not sure if that has continued with the switch to YouTube for podcasts
> I have found that OOP with inheritance is actually a form of tight coupling and that it is best to not use class hierarchies.

Tight coupling is the basis of oop. A method is tied to an instance. Methods cannot be composed with other methods or functions without instantiating state. Methods cannot be moved into other scope.

The literal definition of an object is a tightly bound set of methods that cannot ever be used without instantiating state.
It could be useful, you can just insulate the interior door of it.

Very cool, I have had my eyes on liveview since it came out but since what I am building is a heavy user of maps and client side functionality that will utilize offline support, liveview brings unfortunately pretty little to my table and would be impractical.

Besides I can get the same functionality for most of the app with Server Sent Events and EventEmitter in node even if it is a tiny bit more of a hassle. But since the SSE is a better protocol than Websockets (especially with http3) you also get benefits you can't get with Liveview such as stuff working when customers have Proxies or firewalls that block stuff that is not http.

I really like Elixir as a language and I think Phoenix Liveview is a game-changer and I can't fathom why more people don't use it that doesn't have the same client side requirements as myself.

My thoughts as well. Inheritance forces you into spaghettification sooner or later if you didn't consider everything you'll ever need from the start to the end of the universe. Even if you're working on it by yourself the refactors become frequent and take too much time for little gain.

Self contained encapsulated parts with an eventbus for entirely decoupled data propagation are much easier to manage and edit. Just duplicate a bit more than you think would be best to reuse, disk space is cheap and if you get that part wrong you're screwed and will need another rewrite.

And it's probably more performant too with newer hardware since you can usually just spin out any self contained part as its own thread if need be, often with almost zero changes.

Why is there a difference in captcha exposure between IPv4 and IPv6 then? Maybe there is no actual security, but the people deploying these captchas seem to think there is a need to deploy them for IPv6 users.
These systems exist in no small part to train that ability, which is crucial to making it in the upper reaches of business and politics. The approach is probably also good for teaching the material, but training in speaking and arguing is more than just a side-effect of it—it’s part of the point.

Lots of elite prep schools in the US use a similar system, for similar reasons.

> > In CA, for example, owning an AR15 with certain features is illegal. But separate the upper from the lower, and ... [it's] no longer illegal.

This is not accurate unless I'm misunderstanding your intent--absolutely possible, which is why I am responding over a day later :)

The lower is the firearm, and if it has CA-illegal features on it, it will remain illegal.

If you're referring to things like a threaded barrel, or a vertical foregrip (no idea if these are actually illegal in CA, just examples), or other things that are attached to the upper, when they're separated those things are no longer attached to a firearm because they're attached to the upper, which is no longer a firearm when it's separated.

This isn't a loophole, this is a natural consequence of the fact that if you take a firearm and separate it into two pieces, at most one of those things can legally be a firearm - you can't turn one firearm into two firearms by breaking it in half.

So? Is your argument that it’s so cheap that everyone should get an IP? That would be mathematically impossible.

If more people wanted an IP, the price would just rise. The same percentage of people (less than 1/3) would have one. They would just pay more.

It’s like buying land in a city like SF. Demand can change the price, but the supply remains the same.

Effective Acceleration, the promotion of rapid AI development and roll out, appealing to all the deaths and suffering that can be prevented if we have the Singularity a year early.

Extremely optimistic about the benefits of new tech, downplay all the risks, my experience of self-identifying e/acc people has generally been that they assume AI alignment will happen by default or be solved in the marketplace… and specifically where I hope they're wrong, is that many seem to think this is all imminent, as in 3-5 years.

If they're right about everything else then we're all going to have a great time regardless of when it comes, but I don't see human nature being compatible with even just an LLM that can do a genuinely novel PhD's worth of research rather than "merely" explain it or assist with it (impressive though even those much easier targets are).
The GoF book did a lot of damage. I've finally read it and was amazed that the entire book is in fact about writing GUIs, which is just one tiny part of programming.

Several patterns are trivial, others are very similar and are just a linked list of objects that are searched for performing some action.

The composition over inheritance meme in the book does not make things easier (there is no "composition" going on anyway, it is just delegation).

Objects themselves for resource cleanup like RAII are fine of course.
