skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
It is not about recording the interactions, it is about processing the content. Every time a doctor has to interact with a computer it is time they are not interacting with their patient.

Augmedix has teams of medical scribes who watch the video stream from the glass and actively scribe the data and entering it into EHRs (electronic health records), so the doctors are free to spend the time actually talking to their patients.

Doctors have used voice recorders for decades, but those are not as effective for several reasons:

1) They need to be transcribed later, and since they are audio recording without the video it often means that doctor has to do it since they are the only one with context. That can add several hours of work a day. By sending it over to a remote scribe the patient gets more of the doctors time, the doctor spends less time on paperwork related to each patient, and the data is available in the EHR sooner.

2) If the doctor has any questions about past results they can just ask the scribe who finds the info and sends them a text message back which is displayed in the HUD. That takes less time than swapping to a laptop.

Now one could imagine that in the future a lot of the tasks could be done by AI rather than humans, but if you have looked at medical IT and EHRs you know we are a long way from that. In any event using glass would still be a win: the AI would probably work better getting the live video stream (to improve its ability to accurately chart, etc), and patients tend to be happier when their doctor is interacting with them and not a computer.

Promoting it to a room full of developers is not a "big push to consumers".

Robert Scoble is not really a consumer tech reporter either. He's more like a futurist. Most of the things he likes to talk about are things you can't buy.

Maybe because you got marketed to you are thinking it was consumer marketing, but consider that you were being marketed to as a developer not a consumer.
That's your opinion. PHP, JS (nowadays to some extend also Go and Swift) are so successful, BECAUSE they have a simple and C-like syntax. Rust syntax is rather an afterthought, unfortunately.
More generally, consumers have been fleeced and left out to dry over the past 10 year economic cycle. Take a look at a graph of the S&P500 from 2009-2017, then look at consumer interest rates of 0.5% (in a 'high yield' savings or CD account). It simply makes no sense. We simply cannot build wealth any longer. Baby boomers had CD rates of >10% [0]. Think about that for a moment.

This would be great! I assume this would be something along the lines of Google I/O Extended, where local people arrange a facility where attendees can meet and participate in live streaming sessions. I often wonder if a lot of the value of conferences could be provided completely virtually (down to the serendipitous hallway conversations), with the right telepresence/interaction tools, thus avoiding the need to deal with travel headaches.

Pretty much all examples of rhabdomyolysis I heard of were non-fat physically very active people able to do hundreds of repetitions. Most examples involved such people after few weeks break - no where near to become excessively fat. If you are fat, you wont be able to do as much exercise rhabdomyolysis requires to build. Your muscles will fail much sooner, so fat acceptance or not, blaming fat people for condition that does not happen to them is odd.

The keyboards they're copying are based on the IBM 4704 rather than the PC AT keyboard http://kishy.ca/?p=894

It's more desirable because its layouts are a bit closer to modern 60/80% keyboards, but it doesn't have an AT interface.
Makes sense, when thinking of it like a force - any where you push at the exterior (or interior) that's not directly at the center, would cause rotation around the center. I gather internal forces would add up/cancel out and never end up in a vector that pushes on the center of mass.

I fall under this line of thinking too.

I am a gmail/drive/cal user primarily. I find their services fast, reliable, secure and integrated to a lot of other services.

Sure, they collect and sell my browsing data. But so what? It costs me nothing, doesn't impact my experience (outside of the occasionally annoying ad), and provides them revenue to keep innovating.

I don't really understand the anti-google sentiment that's been brewing lately. Why not the same aversion to apple, microsoft, and amazon? Or is it just flavor of the month?

Personally I'd much rather use Hire over LinkedIn. But I guess it's just one devil for another.
> Isn't Apple violating user privacy in iOS just like Android?

Doesn't seem that way. Consider the flak Apple took for standing up for users' rights with the whole Bernardino incident.

And here's a specific example I read about a while ago. When you're using Google Maps, your device is directly identifiable in Google's servers all the time by a unique identification token. When using Apple Maps, your iPhone generates a new token every ~15 minutes and uses that to report position. There is no connection between any two tokens other than location proximity, making it much more difficult to track users directly from Apple's end. (I'd give a source but I'm on mobile, but I think I read about it on Apple's website around a year ago.)

> And if they aren't, shouldn't they be, from a business perspective?

Well, if their business was selling customer data then yeah. But their business is selling cool devices with cool software. Yes, collecting all that data would make some things a lot easier — ever wonder why Siri doesn't work as well as Google Assistant for a lot of people? — but Apple appears to care about privacy and security enough that they don't engage in these tactics. And... they seem to be doing okay despite it, so I don't think they mind the hit to their piggy banks.

The same oversimplification could have been made of the visual system before we became aware of specialized cortical units and their federated/hierarchical arrangement.

>Second, this is necessarily a regressive tax

You're putting your own ideas into his mouth. Nobody said anything about the fee being a flat fee, or that it would apply to every single trade in existence.
Chemical reactions between air, mostly, and to a lesser extend between the drug and the pill substrate itself, I would imagine. I'm sure on such small size and long time scales the pill does simply ablate some of it's material.

Disclaimer: this is conjecture.
The cynic in me suspects that if this gains too much traction, drug manufacturers will simply start adding self destruct compounds to all of their formulations "for our safety".

In fact, some of them have track records of such "ethical" behavior, it wouldn't even surprise me if they turned them poisonous vs simply inactivating them.
Or we can just ban anything insufficiently transparent and be done with it. After all, the point of a market transaction for pricing is its ability to convey transparent, accurate information to other market participants -- right?

You can get a rough idea of the required precision by checking if the dose is weight dependent. If it isn't, 2% won't matter.
It appears that potent is properly used in this article:

IANAD but it probably means some of the drug molecules have been rendered chemically inactive.

For many drugs a 2% difference is probably unnoticeable. Why are Ibuprofen pills 200mg? Because it's a nice round number that happens to work for many people. If I have a headache I often break the 200mg pill and only take half of it. It still does the job fine for me with fewer side effects.
Nailed it.

I used to do endurance sports (Ironman/triathlon, marathon, etc.) and now my ONLY exercise goal is to move around for at least a few minutes every morning. When I'm busy, it's just quick stretches for maybe 2 minutes. When I have more time, it's a bike ride, jog, lifting weights at the gym, etc.

It might sound too simple but that's what made an easy daily habit to start. And it makes me feel good, making me want to eat "clean" to keep feeling good all day long.

Maybe some day I'll get more aggressive again but right now it works really well and it's easy.
No drug where a 2% difference matters can be administered outside of a monitored hospital setting. There are too many variables that affect the drug uptake far more than 2%, such as body weight (100 pound person will have 3x the drug dosage of a 300 pound person), drug absorption (based on body chemistry, other food eaten, etc.) and the actual intake dosage itself (Eye drops, for example, can have a 500-fold variance in how much actually gets administered). That's why over-the-counter drugs have to have very high therapeutic index. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_index

Low knowledge tasks aren't a bottleneck in contemporary manufacturing though, at least in so far as "low knowledge" correlates with being easily automated.

Tightening a screw or riveting a steel frame for example require little knowledge, but on the other hand they're easily automated. Or rather, more easily automated than reassembling and disassembling an engine.
> Why do doctors need Glass to record notes in the background? Couldn't any computer run that software?

The doctor doesn't really use it. It's just transmitting the doctor's view of the clinic to a remote assistant who can take notes for the doctor. Doctors frequently find it difficult to operate electronic health record systems at the same time as doing the actual doctoring. So they either accept providing lower quality care in order to take notes during the session, or do the notes after the session with the patient (in which case they see fewer patients and make less money).
Note that the latest npm has changed its behaviour for folder links - if you refer to a dependency by a folder name ("fred":"file:../fred", that sort of thing) rather than npm version or git link (etc.), npm now creates a junction inside node_modules that links directly to the original folder.

Deletion tools that don't know how to distinguish junctions and folders may then find the original files via the junction and delete them...

(del and rmdir don't suffer from this. I did get a strange error message from rmdir, though, and it didn't actually delete the junction. GNU-Win32's rm blithely follows the junction and deletes everything in it.)
Yeah. Hopefully they would do it multiple times. To not have memory be much of a factor.

Likely because the platform he is on is not static, and is likely a standard part for multiple technicians, and possible with more than one on it at a time. It looks like the engine is stationary, and the station moves to where he is needed. If that's the case, they could use some semi-specialized platforms for different uses, some with tables for manuals and parts, some without to accommodate more people at once. Then again, it's possible this worker needs a different set of tools an manuals for a different job a couple times a day, and having a bunch of work platforms might be less efficient in other ways than having a separate mobile tool/manual bench and work platform. That one isn't relocated on top of the other often might because it causes accidents when people change the loadout of the platform.

Or maybe it's as simple as them having determined in the past that making people move to shift tasks makes it less likely that they will attempt multiple at once from memory, and mess it up. Sometimes what looks like an inefficient process is actually serving another need you haven't considered, and is more efficient in the long run. Having technicians document each task as done and take a picture to confirm it might yield the same benefits, without the forced short-term inefficiency.
My apologies; perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I believe rhabdomyolysis is like terrorism: scary enough to get you to clickthrough, but not really something most people will ever have to worry about. In the vein of people hurting themselves through exercise, it is extremely more likely that someone will think "hey, I'm obese by muscle, I can deadlift 500lb!" or "I can run a marathon without training!" and then end up injuring themselves permanently, and even if they don't, they'll never take up physical activity again.
In the past, i've found that these higher level libraries built on top of TF are useful for quick model building, but should be used cautiously. By having default hyperparameters it can be easy to blindly build semi-working models without knowing what's happening. I would recommend either reading the associated papers or implementing the models in code (at least once) before using these pre-built models. That being said, i'm really excited by this project! I think it'll save researchers a bunch of time.

Ask HN: Why is Python the preferred language, when it comes to Machine Learning?
Tread carefully starting a business with someone you don't know. If you decide to forge ahead, you'll need to get to know the person not just professionally but personally. I've seen several co-founder relationships (including my own) break down due to personal circumstances that could probably have been predicted had there been a stronger personal relationship prior to starting out. Above all else, discuss at length "what-if" scenarios for every conceivable outcome, in particular the ones that you don't think will happen (like one of you deciding to leave). Get a founders agreement and get a lawyer to translate it into legalese. Put vesting in place so you don't run into tax issues clawing back shares if she decides to leave. Don't wait until you're further down the road, do it straight away.

As for determining if she is the right person professionally, I'd make a list of all of the things that...

1. You suck at

2. You hate doing

...that will be necessary to succeed. In a perfect world, she will excel at many/all of these things and love doing them - allowing you to divide the workload and each focus on your strengths. Don't take her word for it - find out, test her, check references, do whatever you have to do to be comfortable that she is the right person.
And this scaling of the work factor - is that tied to timestamps in the previous blocks? (Ie - the work factor is something like max(average(time_blockN - time_blockN+1)?

[ed: from other comments, I gather that "passage of time" means "added blocks (hashes)" - but I'm still not clear on where the agreement on what constitutes "in 10 minutes on average" comes from - if A sees an addition to the blockchain of N blocks with X proof-of-work, lets call it N * X from B, and sees M blocks with Y proof-of-work from C -- it should be easy to figure out which is bigger of N * X and M * Y (here we don't really assume multiplication, but some way to figure out maximum proof-of-work).

But how does A know how long either took? Is the time local, so that A looks at the head of the B and C chains, and considers when A saw this head, and figure the elapsed time based on that?]

That's actually why I started tracking the ad times. The same podcasts I listen to usually rotate through the same ads. So I would end up skipping them and noting it for fav episodes that I might come back to. Same issue ads on YouTube or Hulu when they become repetitive. I'm trying to not be against ad blocking, but when that happens, it's almost impossible to not be annoyed.

And yeah the other use cases help for sure!
Amazon likely has a bigger army of lawyers than Facebook, and so isn't worried about having to rely on patents if they need to sue Facebook. Or they're willing to eat a few hundred hours of labor to change the frameworks being used for their web pages if they do need access to that patent portfolio.

ITYM cachet, not caché.
> duplicity has a serious flaw in its incremental model -- the user has to decide whether to perform a full backup or an incremental backup on each run. That is because while an incremental backup saves a lot of storage space, it is also dependent on previous backups due to the design of duplicity, making it impossible to delete any single backup on a long chain of dependent backups. So there is always a dilemma of how often to perform a full backup for duplicity users.

Yes and no. Duplicity has the "--full-if-older-than" option so you can do incrementals normally, but if your previous full is older than whatever interval you define, it will do a full backup, without changing the command line. So that can be e.g. in a cron job.
