In twenty years, we'll probably see the same phenomenon with 'abandoned Data Centers.' Teenagers will head to these old buildings in small groups, looking for the ghostly Sysadmin who killed his family because the AI in his neural link told him to.

It's called a "soft opening".
That paper is actually worth the read (and if you don't want/have time to read the whole thing, ChatGPT does a great job of summarizing it IMO). Langer's research appears to generally be in the "mind over matter" genre, and this genre seems to be especially rife with the misuse of statistics. It actually seems very similar to me to what happened with Amy Cuddy's "power posing" research (made famous by this TED talk, https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_may_s...), which was eventually pretty thoroughly disproven and even repudiated by some of the original coauthors of Cuddy's papers.

The other question I have is that the paper you linked gives makes some very clear, "no gray area" arguments about why some T-values that Langer calculated for one of her papers is just flat out wrong. He's saying "I'm a statistician, and you did the statistics wrong." I'm very curious if Langer ever responded to this, because the argument seems pretty black-and-white.

I'm working on an ESP32 based NFC record system using OwnTone (https://owntone.github.io/owntone-server/) as the music hosting and playing solution (as it supports AirPlay to all the HomePods in the house). Each HomePod has a smaller ESP32 with a knob for adjusting the volume in a room.

I've been buying lots of music after getting rid of Spotify and wanted the experience of walking in, picking an album, dropping on the player, and then listening to it throughout the house as I make dinner or do chores.
Yeah I'm going to need to see some citations for these claims.
Then why are there so few? And containing such a small variety of goods?

In Japan anywhere from a busy subway to a remote park, there will be rows of vending machines everywhere, with more varieties of sodas, coffees, soups, ice creams, candies, hell even clothes or meat! And those are just the common types. You're never far from what you want in an automated fashion.

Why are we so behind in America when there seemingly is excess on the supply side for the chance to supply more goods and deploy more machines, and demand on the consumer side for better, more convenient, more available, and more varied vending machines goods?

I've been building a chrome extension called Skipper [1] that helps people to organize their browser tabs with AI.

For my whole career so far I've been applying ML (as they called it back then) / AI to various domains like drug discovery and cybersecurity. Both were fun but, man, it feels really different to build a consumer app. It's just very exciting to be able to develop something, push it, and get compliments/complains the second day! We've even noticed that the ADHD community are especially engaged with the extension because they suffer the most from the tab overload problem.

Anyways, for those who might need it, here's the link:

We have a whole lot of problems in the world, and yes we can walk and chew gum (mostly), but trash piles is the least concerning to me. Properly disposed of e-waste is not a problem, and our dumps are not threatening to over-run the countryside. The biggest problems with generative AI from an environmental perspective is carbon production, and it seems that nuclear is being re-implemented (maybe not fast enough for climate change). Existential threats from AI are also very concerning (we will see if its a jobs threat), and include malicious propaganda, biological and chemical weapons. But there is also hope that the speed of science will increase with AI, which perhaps at least could help solve issues with climate change, even if the cleaner environment is only enjoyed by rogue terminators.
First problem with the submissions that supposedly 'would do well on HN' is other than the Ask HN: they're misusing the submission by putting it in a text post instead of sharing as a link post directly. And sketchy new/inactive accounts. C'mon. Not gonna keep reading grifty post after that opening.
I was thinking of censoring, maybe I should have said another word like floored.

The reason I think of this as censoring is that there are are some classical statistical models that model a distribution with a large mass at a minimum threshold, e.g. "tobit" censored regression.

> We can’t expect a junior engineer to drive a big project; their scope will be limited

I find it a dilemma when it comes to driving "big project", especially in a large company. The engineers who drive such projects often behave more like product managers. They sketch out key product features, work with teams to get roadmaps out, and convince the leadership and teams to get the right resources. In addition, they will also draw a few boxes to have a so-called "architecture diagram", and hand out the actual design and implementation to lower-level engineers. I don't deny the importance of such work, and I do recognize that junior engineers likely won't have the clout or the knowledge to push such project forward. On the other hand, I find the value of such high-level engineers diminish fast in the industry, especially when they want to switch jobs, for the will have lost the ability to get down to specifics to solve tough technical problems. Case in point, I have seen most of the so-called "uber TL" fail interviews because all they could do was drawing a bunch of boxes and talking about strategies or requirements. They may tell you that a recommender pipeline will have retrieval, ranking, and reranking, and even throw around a few model names. But when you ask them any specifics about the landscape, the model architecture, the selection of specific technologies (especially how the selected tech works), they would get stuck. And they certainly can't implement any of the said components.

Note this is not a criticism but a lament. I certainly face the same dilemma, and frequently question how I can continue to be more valuable as I grow in my career, especially given that that I don't plan to say within the same company forever and I don't want to be a professional box drawer for life. The only path I can think of now is to become someone like a great CS professor: the professor does not necessarily write all the papers, but she is invaluable to her students by unblocking them when needed, by understanding new paper better than anyone, by pointing out a direction that is not so obvious to the students, and etc. That is, to be someone like Wernher von Braun or Kelly Johnson. Someone who can code out a system like ClickHouse or at least pin down exactly which data structures to use, instead of telling his team vague ideas like let's use SIMD to speed up the query. Someone who can write a working TLA+ spec to show the flaw in a design by his team instead of telling his team that they can use TLA+ to find intricate bugs. To be honest, I don't know how to become like that while keeping getting promoted to a higher-level IC, but I don't see other ways.
> People who self-describe as contrarians, independents, or skeptics are consistently associated with lower education, lower information, and lower analytical skills than others without these self descriptions.

This is an awfully large claim to make without any backing research. Some quick googling hasn't led me to anything backing this up, but I would be curious to read anything that says so.
Apple knows that a Mac user checked the revocation status of the TOR Project’s signing key. They don’t log your IP, your Mac caches the result so it’s not even every time you launch the browser, and if knowing when your browser was launched is a successful timing attack it means the TOR protocol is too broken to be used – which I rather doubt is true regardless of what random commenters may confidently assert.
Jesus' very clear message of humility is published in a massive best-selling book that got gold filigree letters in the medieval manuscripts and which was promoted in buildings that were for a thousand or so years the largest and grandest that most people ever saw, and led to the creation of the famously wealthy Catholic church (whose stuff was famously confiscated by Henry VIII when he needed more gold) led by popes whose desire for expensive art led to the sale of indulgences that led to Martin Luther and a massive europe-wide series of conflicts, and also led to the less famous but more infamous Knights Templar who didn't survive having their money taken.

Parable of the sower comes to mind: hear the word, but did not follow it.

Except the popularity in that era was due to all the powerful people saying it proved their right to absolute power and sometimes made other religions (including denominations of Christianity) illegal, and popularity waned rapidly as it stopped being required.

Actually reading the bible is a big part of why I switched from Catholic to Wicca as a teen before deciding it was probably all ahistorical anyway.
Not to defend Gradle too much, but Groovy is a superset of Java. So if you want, you can just use the regular Groovy dialect and then write Java in your build scripts, it should work.

This is not entirely a solution though, because Gradle's APIs are fairly complicated and change regularly.
Of course the true brute-forced algorithm is to pry the cube apart and then assemble it again in the solved state.

I am surprised.. all this complex discovery and the syslogs were containing the culprit line from the first moment:

serial8250: too much work for irq4

do people not look at syslog anymore? It's one of the first things I do on unexplainable problems - check for OOM's, thermal throttling, BUGs, etc... Sure, it's not the most common problem, but the check is fast and easy.
I don't think it's nefarious, I think it's negligent. As I understand it, they changed something internal to how mouse motion is handled. The Magic Mouse speaks to the OS in a way that matches this change, and that was all they ever cared to ensure worked. They also don't support more than 3 buttons on a mouse well, because Apple doesn't make mice with more than 3 buttons. They did the same sort of thing with standard-DPI monitors; they didn't make them look bad on purpose, they just optimized for high-DPI monitors and didn't care about the others.

And yes, fixing this requires custom software.

Thanks to not feeling alone in the world (thanks u/oorza). I mentioned this story at work today. Is autonomy a necessary part of work happiness? I don’t think so.

Being part of a staff that manages successful delivery (in this case of food items) where at peak moments you deliver in concerto 10x average throughout, time after time was just good for morale. Plus the general goofing of teens. I don’t remember the things that I currently associate with cogs in the machine (say, scripted unpaid toilet breaks for call centers, or a lack of ownership). You owned your tiny part of the customer experience and was near all other parts.

The cogs in the machine part is imho unsuccessfully scripted work. You can’t live up to your own expectations of proper customer service because you are forced in a mold that doesn’t fit, but can’t fix the mold.

Then comes the part that I’m still thinking about. What’s easier to achieve? Great processes and happiness via lean / kaizen that treat autonomy as foundational or great scripted processes that deliver satisfaction without autonomy.

Complexity and autonomy are probably related. Higher complexity makes scripted processes that fit all exceptions a lot harder. On the other hand my experience is that so-called experts frown upon standardization and quality suffers. I’ve done standardization for professionals and have hoped to find a sweet spot between autonomy and scripted work (The Checklist Manifesto comes to mind). But I must admit those sweet spots are harder to find the less I’m intimately aware of what people do from minute to minute.
Because except in rare cases Rust can do everything C++ can do with basically the same performance profile, but it does it with modern tooling and without the security, reliability and productivity issues associated with C++'s pervasive Undefined Behaviour.

There are some cases where C++ makes sense:

* You have a large existing C++ codebase you need to talk to via a large API surface (C++/Rust FFI is not great)

* You have a C++ library that's core to your project and doesn't have a good Rust alternative (i.e. Qt)

* You don't like learning (and are therefore in completely the wrong industry!)

This lede makes no sense:

> Remember when Apple blamed EU tech rules — and more specifically the Digital Markets Act — to justify the fact that Apple Intelligence wouldn’t be available in the European Union? Maybe that was just an attempt to turn EU users against their regulators as Apple Intelligence is coming to the EU in April 2025 along with local language support.

If they were NEVER bringing it to the EU, maybe I'd understand the cynicism. But that it's part of a phased roll-out where it just takes more time to come to the EU does not make it MORE likely that the cynics were correct. It's impossible to know for sure without some kind of Apple memo/emails, but I don't understand pointing to the new release date as proof of some ulterior motive.

There are many huge contextual differences between the US and Japan when it comes to vending machines, but the most obvious one is that Japan is eminently walkable, while the US is so pedestrian-unfriendly that there's no guarantee that people will even be around your row of vending machines in the first place.
What I think is unfortunate is where projects decide to write off user feedback only because the user in question hasn't contributed anything other than that feedback. Even if quite a lot of users are saying the same thing.

It is, of course, their right. I just think it's unfortunate, especially when "users" and "potential developers" doesn't have a very big overlap.

I've provided my father (82 years, living 500km away from me) with hand-me-downs Mac laptops since 2009: from the initial Macbook Core Duo up to a the most recent M2 Air. He does web browsing and frequent FaceTime calls with me just for checking out how they are. Those little laptops last him until the battery dies.

He could very well be using Windows with a cheaper laptop, but I consider the amount of support hours that I've saved to more than compensate for that.
I get that. It was more directed at the dork that downvoted the comment, to let them know why OP might have elaborated.

> Edit: (I'm actually curious what I said is fully wrong, btw? Accelerometers measure how much an inner piece drifts to other things based on differential in acceleration, no?)

In a steady state, all the components are accelerating equally. It measures the force between the components and uses that to compute acceleration, yeah, but the positional drift between the components is minuscule and only happens during jerk.

(This describes one type of accelerometer. I'm not up to date on every possible or currently used design.)
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.

> The correlation is actually not bad (0.53), but our model is very consistently over-estimating the score at the low end, and underestimating it at the high end. This is surprising; some variation on any given data point is expected, but such a consistent mis-estimation trend isn’t what we’d expect.

This is a consequence on the model objective. If you don't know what is really happening, a good way of reducing the overall error is to do that. If you instead try to exactly predict the very highs and very lows, you can see that you will get very high errors on those, resulting in a bigger overall error.

Appart from that, I want to comment on AI alignment here. For me the objective of "most up votes" is not fully correlated with where I get the most value on HN. Most of the time, the most up voted I would have found them anyway on other platforms. It's the middle range what I really like. So be careful implementing this algorithm at scale, it could turn the website into another platform with shitty AI recommendations.
