I'm not necessarily suggesting anything but[0] that the safeguards are indeed there (related to the familial NON-SHAME-DERIVED* "no-child-left-behind" responsibilities long felt by even the giant corps imho), because,

The Hindu need a STEM fact checker. I was excited for a moment, that someone has stumbled on a plan to reroute SO2 to the troposphere (and, incidentally, a way to have the units pay for themselves!)..

1) If you have artifacts: poster session as one commenter suggested

2) If you don't or need validation for a study proposal, become good friends with (institutionalized) behavioral economist.

3) I wouldn't recommend publishing anything at this stage, that would most likely not contribute to your credibility

That's the rub. Does it benefit the developers much more than the users, in aggregate?

It's not an easy question to answer even for vaccines..

But I'd wager it's a no, because, e.g. Pfizer(plus or minus BioNTech) probably could not have learnt enough* from their deployment..

Didn't mean to imply that Aapl can't be accused of perfidious behaviour on the sw side, but the erstwhile welcomes mean that Goog's betrayal, when it happens, even a minor one that doesn't kill the biz, hurts a lot more?

Re:Google Pixels are no longer the AOSP reference device on Thursday June 12, 2025 @01:40PM (#44260464)
In a better world.. goog could be as helpful towards grOS as aapl towards asahi. But "anything that doesn't detract from selling hw is fine" can't make it into goog's once-aspirational "knowledge economy" business calculus. (Legal considerations contribute further inertia)

I think though, "write-only" third-party contributions are a necessary evolutionary step towards a more balanced ecosystem, so lack of an open reference could lead to the needed experimentation, both legal and technical
