> Is anyone really using bazel outside Google in any meaningful capacity? Yes. For instance, Stripe uses Bazel internally for ~all of its builds. https://stripe.com/blog/fast-secur…

I appreciate your position, but the record is pretty clear; his actions clearly meet Berkeley's own definition of research misconduct.

You may be interested to read that the Why We Sleep guy committed research misconduct in the book. Guy is totally unrepentant about it. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/…

HN's moderation team has been pretty clear that generated comments aren't welcome here. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I don't see any network analysis on this page. What network analysis do you see? I do see generic statements like "boosting each other", and I see vaguely-drawn lines in the primar…

Further in the thread, the guy notes that this isn't "new" mathematics - a better proof with tighter bounds was published in April: https://xcancel.com/SebastienBubeck/status/19581…

Should be in the first, not seventh paragraph: this was a survey of 19 doctors, who performed ~1400 colonoscopies.

This shows a huge surge starting in 2023. I see you're counting all .AI TLDs; how much is this responsible for the surge? I think .AI TLD registrations took off starting in 2023, a…

I think it's important to clarify that it's just audio and video that are E2EE, not text messages themselves. (You may have meant this, but "channels" was a little ambiguous.)

Yes, that's correct. The authors themselves are being extremely careful (and, I'd argue, misleading) in their wording. The right way to interpret those words is "this is literally …

No, you're wrong. They wrote the story before coming up with the model! In fact the model and technical work has basically nothing to do with the short story, aka the part that eve…

> One of the AI 2027 authors joked to me in the comments on a recent article that “you may not like it but it's what peak AI forecasting performance looks like”. Well, I don’t like…

This strikes me as disingenuous: > I like when my software gets used by a lot of people and people send me nice emails. In this case, people weren't sending me the nicest emails, u…

This is an extremely minor point, but: > significant parts of our federal government have abandoned key precepts of outcome-driven problem-solving. (Just try navigating the IRS’ Fr…

The title here buries the lede, IMO. Quoting from Epoch AI in the thread: > We were restricted from disclosing the partnership until around the time o3 launched [...] Our contract …

I don't think this article, or the underlying claims, are (yet) credible. I'm disappointed that the Washington Post wrote about this at all, and that people I respect a lot have am…

Here's a 14 year-old series showing that providers are the biggest chunk of the overspending in the system: https://web.archive.org/web/20210421025041/http://theinciden...

Their commitment to open source, however, might go. Quite recently Google quietly unshipped an effort to make their protobuf build rules more useful to OSS users of Bazel (see the …

The Internet Archive shows the progression of events pretty clearly. - In ~May 2023, the FT transferred it to Jake Champion: https://web.archive.org/web/20230505112634/https://poly…

As someone who attended before and after the change: there was certainly no immediate effect. The consensus at the time (at least amongst my little circle of friends) was that adop…

I agree with the general thrust of this, but it's worth noting that the author does _slightly_ better than is typical for LLM-based analyses: they released the dataset of book-labe…
