“Why summaries of research on psychological theories are often uninterpretable”, Meehl (also discussed in Cohen’s paper “The Earth is Round (p < 0.05)”): Problem 6. Crud factor: In the social sciences and arguably in the biological sciences, “everything correlates to some extent with everything else.” This truism, which I have found no competent psychologist disputes given 5 minutes reflection, does not apply to pure experimental studies in which attributes that the subjects bring with them are

This is my personal blog. The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer. Around the turn of the century we started to get a bigger need for high capacity web servers. For example there was the C10k problem paper. At the time, the kinds of things done to reduce work done per request was pre-forking the web server. This means a request could be handled without an expensive process creation. Because yes, creating a new process for every request used to be somethi

OpenAI has announced plans to open its first office in India, just days after launching a ChatGPT plan tailored for Indian users, as it looks to tap into the country’s rapidly growing AI market. On Friday, the company said it would set up a local team in India and open a corporate office in the capital, New Delhi, in the coming months. The move builds on OpenAI’s recent hiring efforts in the region. In April 2024, the company appointed former Truecaller and Meta executive Pragya Mishra as its p

Dev gets 4 years for creating kill switch on ex-employer's systems

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-11 12:46:26

A software developer has been sentenced to four years in prison for sabotaging his ex-employer's Windows network with custom malware and a kill switch that locked out employees when his account was disabled. Davis Lu, 55, a Chinese national living legally in Houston, worked for an Ohio-based company, reportedly Eaton Corporation, from 2007 until his termination in 2019. After a corporate restructuring and subsequent demotion in 2018, the DOJ says that Lu retaliated by embedding malicious code

Deeply divided Supreme Court lets NIH grant terminations continue

Shortly after the Trump Administration took office, it started cancelling grants for things it had disagreements with: funding for pandemic preparation, efforts to diversify the scientific workforce, those that targeted minority health issues, and more. These terminations were challenged in court, and a consolidate case was heard in the District of Massachusetts, pitting the government against individual researchers, organizations that represent them, and states that host research institutions.

Furious Fred Durst Knocks Drone Out of Air During Live Concert

Nu metal icon — and notorious rabble-rouser — Fred Durst has a long history of weird beefs, but this latest altercation is bizarre even for him. In audience-shot videos from a recent show in Istanbul, Turkey, the 55-year-old Limp Bizkit frontman laid the smackdown on a drone whose operator dared to fly it too close to the stage, likely seeking to record unauthorized, up-close footage of the boisterous bandleader.

It was a bit of a back-and-forth but I strongly believe it fundamentally changed how we build products.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Did a Documentary Episode That Should’ve Been Killed in the Edit

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is, at this point, very clearly a series that is unafraid to dabble in its format on a regular basis. That can lead to episodes of Star Trek that don’t necessarily look or feel like what we expect of Star Trek, even if they still play with ideas and approaches that fit into what the franchise has done for generations now. This week’s Strange New Worlds definitely fits into both of those ideas, with an episode in a new format, an in-universe documentary, and an episo
