Maybe so, but I would argue a lot of the key information isn't that different for each type of medical event. (I'm leaving aside scheduling and insurance claims for now because I'm less familiar with things there but there are still probably some commonalities).

Each medical event should have:

- Patient it relates to

- Date it happened (possibly date it started and date it ended instead)

- Who did/prescribed/ordered it

- List of medical codes+coding system tuples that happened on that event

There's tons of other information of course, but these very basic things are universal and should always be in the same place (I refer to FHIR in this case, but format is somewhat irrelevant if the API is good). I understand they're not for historic reasons, and that some might complain because it doesn't exactly fit how they think about things, but a consistent API provides more value and I think will lead to better process down the line.

HL7 is moving along with FHIR, and I think it's a good start, I look forward to where it ends up.
> Are quantum computers just the fusion reactors of the computing world?

This is not the proper take-away message from the history of fusion. The expert consensus in 1976 predicted that useful fusion would not be achieved if it followed the funding trajectory it actually did end up taking.

There was a time when it was quite easy to find (without even trying for that specific content) photorealistic rape, snuff, bestiality, and child porn on the public web, without any AI involved.

> Illegal or not, if it’s purely virtual law enforcement is going to focus on the subset of crimes which involve actual human victims.

Actual prosecutions for virtual (generally not photorealistic) child porn in various jurisdictions demonstrate that this is not a hard and fast rule.

"We've already seen this with images and Photoshop. Society and their heuristics of belief will adjust as these new capabilities become widespread.

>I realized Medium is really great about surfacing content, but it removes the face of it. It neutralizes all content to basically be author-agnostic. It’s like Walmart or Amazon in that you can buy from thousands of different brands, but you rarely actually know what brand you’re buying…you just know “I got it from Amazon.”

Medium has pretty much always pushed the stance that they're the "face" of the blogs on the site. You're not hosting your blog on Medium, you're writing for Medium. Heck, their "our story" section says right at the top:

>Medium taps into the brains of the world’s most insightful writers, thinkers, and storytellers to bring you the smartest takes on topics that matter. So whatever your interest, you can always find fresh thinking and unique perspectives.

That's pretty clearly "Medium has great content", not "look at these excellent bloggers". They're a curator / reading platform, intentionally emphasizing the value you get from Medium itself.

Given that stance, loss of brand identity seems like a pretty natural outcome.

I had similar misgivings until I saw a presentation on the clock by the designers.

> This comment suggests you don't have much domain knowledge about how `unsafe` in Rust works, so I'm surprised you speak with such confidence.

I hate being tone police, but jeez, we're having a discussion about Rust here and talking about my personal competency is inappropriate and unwelcome.

The problem I'm talking about happens when you write libraries that contain "unsafe" blocks. You want to prove (or at least assure yourself) that no unsafe behavior is observable by clients of the library. However, the way to do this is not entirely clear, although there is research being done in this area. One known trap is that it is not sufficient to demonstrate that Rust code without "unsafe" blocks cannot observe unsafe behavior in your library.

See: https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/popl18/paper.pdf

These concerns are not hypothetical, there have been soundness problems in the Rust standard library before and I expect it to happen again.

It will for a while, then it'll revert to the point that video “evidence” is—except to experts validating validation tools that most people don't understand—exactly equal to rumor in public estimation, because everyone has been exposed to so much fakery.
Cooperative coworkers who still compete in the spirit if play (Lao Tzu). HR and the low trust/greed driven SV economy make it hard in the bay area, but other cities like Denver and Minneapolis are where I've met best friends who are also passionate programmers.

Tldr: feedback, personal investment, competition
Clever ad spot, but I think this is confusing the debate more than clarifying:

1)

>Video portrays a world where patrons pay more for fast service

Paying more for faster service is orthogonal to Net Neutrality. Of course you can pay more for a fatter pipe. No one has a problem with this. The issue is preferentially charging for data based on who is dumping it to their side of that pipe.

2) In the food world, you can already, likewise, pay more for better quality food. No one has a problem with that.

3) You can also, more controversially, bribe or tip the staff to get preferential service. That's widely accepted. The food service world is already more like net non-neutrality.

There is a conflation happening here. What is the nature of this bug when you compose these two libraries together?

If it is a violation of Rust's safety guarantees, then at least one of those libraries has a bug, it is exposes a safe abstraction which is not actually safe. One could not argue that the safe Rust program is wrong; the library exposing an unsafe interface as safe is unarguably wrong.

If the library just behaves incorrectly in a manner disconnected from the type system because some global state was changed in a way it doesn't expect ("the hardware" in this case), then that's a normal bug & it is not connected to unsafe code at all.
I think I'm partial to a variant of wireheading that sort of linearly shifts our perception of pain and pleasure. Getting an arm hacked off is like a bad headache, normal undesirable things are like a minor ache, normal day-to-day is like a fun night out, and orgasm is like ... I don't know, heroin I guess.

I think this progression will do no more than force an existing moral question into the open. What is the moral quality of a thought?

Personally I believe that even unspoken thoughts can have a strong moral dimension for the individual, though of course I see no legal dimension.

One aspect of this will be does our indulgence of our own negative fantasies weaken our capability to act rightly when presented with a real world moral choice and does that make us culpable...or more culpable if we make a wrong choice.
Very unlikely that is the case. You are assuming that clean technologies will produce only economic cost not a net economic benefit. But that's not how technology works generally
Is there already NSURLSession (or Swift's equivalent) for Linux?
Requiring proof of authenticity is a niche use case, it doesn't seem realistic that this alone will be sufficient to ensure that most cameras in the world gain extreme security to prevent tampering by users, rogue employees in manufacturing companies, etc, etc. Also, we haven't ever been able to make perfectly secure software - an exploit that allows a key to be extracted from the camera is likely, and camera buyers won't care.

A key is just data. Even if the key can't be extracted from common cameras, there's no magic that can prevent from someone making a device with a known key (or falsely register to the magic worldwide-trustworthy central registry that USA, China and Russia trusts but aren't able to influence to get keys for manufacturing fake news) that a particular camera has been made), one that can be used to sign data outside the camera context to make it appear that it was "securely" seen by a legitimate camera.
I'm all for capitalism and efficiency, but there really needs to be a more robust system to relocate and re-educate people who are displaced like this. Whether it be automation or any industry disruption in general. Massive tax breaks if you need to relocate or retrain maybe. Access to free-ish or maybe even subsidized education due to layoff. We need to make the human side of the equation in any job easier to flow from one region of the US to another.

I say this, but in the long term we should also be discussing what a "post-work" economy looks like when the machines ultimately take over everything and there is nowhere left to run...

That's a little sad. I used LightTable for a little while, and thought it was very cool. Was looking forward to Eve, but it was beginning to seem like vaporware, so I guess I can't say I'm surprised by this announcement.
I mentally struggled while making the choice to use that phrase.

I don't think any of the individuals want to be a parasite. I think they want to be valuable and rewarded for the value they add.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to live a normal modest life with a normal paycheck that lets you raise a family, buy a house, etc. I think that's all most people want.

The only way that is possible, though, is if one adds value to the company or organization one works for. If you actively harm the company or organization, your value is negative, and you are actively killing the organization that is distributing paychecks.

I blame the union for short-sighted thinking, not the individual workers for wanting job security.

Maybe that's a bad biological analogy... can you think of a better one? It seems like if an individual or group of individuals in an organization are not useful, but want to keep receiving benefits... well, the closest analogy I could find is maybe a leech or tapeworm or something like that. Maybe an appendix or a whithered arm?

Maybe I'm being uncharitable, but that won't change the reality of what happens when the business is outcompeted and everyone is out of a job. The union cannot create a company - only provide some protections against certain classes of management decisions.
Once there is no management because there's no company, the union will die. :-/
zstd is incredible, but just in case the thought hasn't occurred to someone here that may benefit from it: if you're in control of the send and the receive, type-specific compression is hard to beat.

For example, if you know you're dealing with text, you can use snappy, if you know you're dealing with images, webp, videos x264 (or x265 if you only care about decode speed and encoded size), etc and then fall back to zstd only when you don't have a specific compressor for the chosen file type.
Oh, sad. I always get very excited about the stuff Chris does, it’s right on the interesting corner of the leading edge. I hope whatever comes next is a combination of his ideas which finds fertile ground.
> then at least one of those libraries has a bug

Yes, we agree about this point. However, the process for determining if these bugs exist is not well understood. That's what I mean when I say that this is not only a pedagogical problem--even Rust experts struggle to prove that a library containing "unsafe" blocks is safe, and more research into the area is needed.
You've clearly never been a victim of sexual harassment if you think people can just handwave these sorts of things away.
As an athlete (and former competitive snowboarder) I find turmeric tea to be a more powerful pain reliever for my knees, which have little cartledge left, than Advil.

Quite funny, had to reflect on my own bias a bit. I still think it's important to be critical of purely observational or anecdotal results when tested evidence driven medicine does exist. For example, suggesting a cancer patient abstain from radiation therapy, offering the alternative of cayenne pepper smoothies.
This is very sad. I’ve been looking for something like Eve to develop difficult user interfaces in and was hoping it would hit 1.0. Wonder if there is any framework trying to do similar things in the JavaScript ecosystem, or targeting that ecosystem with code generation.
Very true. More famously there were photos of Hitler engaging in debauchery produced by the Brits in WW2, which is why I believe such an act has precedent. But producing videos like this where if done well, you literally struggle to tell the difference between real and fake is much more different than some Polaroids or Photoshop's. It's new due to the relative ease that highly sophisticated fakes can be produced

Aside from the stack, another key challenge for moving GCs is hash tables keyed on object identity. If the object can move the raw address is no longer a suitable hash.

.NET at one point stored an extra per-object word, which was either (via its LSB) a random hash code or a pointer to a metadata object that held the lock, etc.

Python did this cute thing where moved objects would get an extra word allocated to store the moved-from address, which was where the hash was stored.

Apple's plan for its (not-released) ObjC moving GC was to directly teach the GC about hash tables, so it could rehash on collection (!).

Do you know how other implementations handle this?

BEAM's GC is indeed a marvel both because of the immutability and also the enforced process isolation, so that each process can do its own GC independently. As you say, constrain the mutator...

Aristotle, by contrast, isn't that concerned with gender. He is happy to treat it as a topic, but he has nowhere near the same level of preoccupation.

SpaceX lists the Falcon Heavy as weighing 3,125,735 lbs (presumably that's the "wet" weight).

Reminds me of what Diana Davison says about the "Male Gaze." There's this old theory from the ancient world, later debunked by muslim academics, called "Emission Theory" where the eyes see by projecting "rays" which reach out and physically touch the world. It's her theory that a good number of feminists who object to the "Male Gaze" are actually using mental models of the world that include Emission Theory. Apparently, there's a large fraction of the populace that believes this erroneous theory, much like many people believe "there's no gravity in space" and think the Earth gets colder in Winter because it's farther away from the Sun. (Though many of those people will then tell you it's Summer in Australia while it's Winter in North America.) The idea that private activities have some kind of outside effect is quite akin to the idea that homosexuals being homosexual cause earthquakes.
Why wouldn't a papaya be safe? Everything I've seen says that the seeds are always edible.
Proving the correctness of unsafe code is totally different from what you talked about, which was composing different abstractions with unsafe internals together.

Users of safe Rust do not need to worry about whether the composition of two safe interfaces that use unsafe internally is safe unless one of those interfaces is incorrect. Your comment would suggest that users need to think about the untyped invariants of each library they use, but this is not correct, libraries are not allowed to rely on untyped invariants for the correctness of their safe APIs.
