IMHO, it's a people Thing. People developed better practices, talked about IT in conferences, maybe left the company. AS a result the knowlegde spread. On the other Hand, If the places where a skilled individual can work and honey their skills, the knowlegde become scarce, the knowlegde cannot spread anymore and it will vanish. If you only program with AI and 5 people do the Work of 100, then you end Up in such a scenario.

So If Amazon wante to be the lowest price Destination, but Takes fees for Listings, FBA etc, then the product price needs to include that fees. That will make the product more expensive and since amazon wanted to be the cheapest Destination, the price does need to gonup everywhere? It's maybe the Fairest Thing, but is it good for the Overall Economy?

Work in the Public sector can be exhaustive, since some branches are severly underfinanced, at least in Germany.

The funny Thing is, If these LLMs withold this information. What does it withhold else? Can i trust These Corporate LLMs If i Look for information and i am not deemed a Domain expert?

Normally in this kind of systems, the detection is the nonlinearity. That is, you send light through the system, the light can interfere, Changes path through the system but in the end you can detect only the intensities, |E|^2.

This Has it's use. The continouus Fourier Transform is is based on that. You are asking what frequencies is this continouus signal made of. Time is normally defined as a real number in that context, but If you have a continouus time you need continouus frequencies to map time space to frequency space. You can think about an Index as a lego Block, that you need to construct Something.

IronyMan100 — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 18:32:31 +0000

Does this Not make sense? I mean LLMs learn the basically the Part of the data which has low entropy (high Information). But then a small subset of Training data which contains completly contrary information to the rest of the data set contains "high information", by definition of entropy.

Ask HN: Startup with Small Children

IronyMan100 — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 18:25:36 +0000

I am thinking about setting up a startup. I am a scientist and I see increasing commercial interest in my field, as well as some potential problems that could be turned into a startup. However, I have a 1.5-year-old toddler and my wife and I are planning to have another child in the near future. Sometimes I think I want to start something on my own and give my research a useful application. On the other hand, I hear so many founders working 60–80-hour weeks, and that's just not possible right now. Could you tell me about your experience?

New comment by IronyMan100 in "The rising returns to R&D: Ideas are not getting harder to find"

IronyMan100 — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 13:14:42 +0000

"These findings suggest that R&D has become more effective at finding productivity-enhancing ideas, but these ideas may also render rivals’ technologies obsolete, making innovations more transient. Because of obsolescence, rising R&D does not necessarily mean rising aggregate productivity growth."

I Don't Unserstand that. Innovative should increase productivity. If i deploy a new technology i should see productivity gains. Does that Not mean we see should se productivity gains regardless of how fast a technology becomes obsolete? Maybe technologies do not get adopted that fast or the productivity gains do not justify the Investment?

Honestly, i'm tired of Hearing this. I am a Scientist and i work in science. On HN i feel a breeze of Anti-science sentiments which are only dwarfed by the Anti-Vax Community. I Don't Like my Profession being called a fraud, i also do not call a programmer, a Typewriter Monkies.

There ideas in how to get better. -People start talking about pre-register studies, where the study design is evaluated independent of the results. -Some years ago Nature was thightening the acceptance criteria for articles about new laser principles. - in the field of metasurfaces there are more and more articles in how to assess the performance of flat optics and calling Out Problems with the Status quo. Honestly, i Don't See your point. Is the progress maybe slow... Yes. But changes are Happening. It's also in the best interest of Academia. You don't want to build Up your career (~5-30 years)on someone else fraudulent.

i don't think its a good faith argument to compare science with cancer. Do you have numbers? Are you sure 90% is irreproducible? How is cancer similar to whats going on in science?

you should not trust science. I mean look where the article is published. It's not Vox nor The New York Times, etc. It's in Science, one of the most reputable journals in the world. So the community of scientist is aware of the problem and in the end science is self-correcting. It's just a slow process. Science advances one funreal at a time.

No, probably Not. Nobody is reading these Journals anyway. It's only good one resumes. i think even 3a is Not a problem because fake papers will follow a specific pattern in Meta Analysis. Should be catched in one of the "filter" stages during Meta Analysis.

I had the same impression when buying clothes. I often buy the Shirts Form H&M. I have some old Shirts and the quality IS a Lot better. No loose Threads, the colors did Not wash out for and after washing they stayed how they are. Today all of that is not the Case anymore.
