Is anyone really using bazel outside Google in any meaningful capacity? There used to be a number of really popular and widely used projects such as closure compiler, gwt/j2cl, guava and other Java libs, and supposedly lots of golang stuff (not to speak of k8s where people seem to be satisfied it's a black box) that are dying behind bazel walls.

Yes. For instance, Stripe uses Bazel internally for ~all of its builds. https://stripe.com/blog/fast-secure-builds-choose-two

For other users, you might peruse the Bazelcon 2025 schedule, which happened earlier this month: https://bazelcon2025.sched.com/

I'm not a huge fan of Dr Walker, and we actually compete with the company he is a "co-founder" of, but I think saying he committed research misconduct is going a bit far.

Misconduct is probably overstating it, and he wrote a popular book, which increased awareness of sleep health.

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

It's clear to me that perhaps it was also that the experts understanding of the science that was wrong as well. Therefore perhaps these "scams" weren't scams but a product developed based on science that was promoted and later corrected.

In the linkedin post where the team unveiled their documentary they quote the involvement of the author of Why We Sleep (great book) and the decades of sleep research, who in their famous book actually did say that blue light impacts melatonin and is crucial for sleep, he even promoted blue light blocking filters. He later retracted that statement and changed his stance.

So were bluelight blocking glasses a scam, or perhaps a product that was informed by a misunderstanding of science. If I read a book based on a renowned sleep scientist who promoted blue light filters and I made glasses to help block blue light, if that understanding of science changed, am I a scammer?

If this is in fact true then this goes against any product or feature that markets reducing blue light such as not to impact sleep. Extending to include Apples marketing of Night Shift.

You may be interested to read that the Why We Sleep guy committed research misconduct in the book. Guy is totally unrepentant about it.

This is network analysis which is used to identify networks of interest.
shaldengeki · 5 months ago
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 primary diagram with no further explanation, but that hardly counts as network analysis, right?

Further in the thread, the guy notes that this isn't "new" mathematics - a better proof with tighter bounds was published in April:

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, and one thing I wonder is if prior to 2023 we're mostly missing real AI Show HN entries, and afterwards we're mostly catching them.

Discord voice calls and channels do use E2EE now, as of last year:

shaldengeki · 7 months ago
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.)
