That says something about how out of touch Google is at the moment.
SpaceX can't grow money on trees, of course the BFR has various commercial uses. The commercial demand for flights to Mars is pretty low, and if they built a vehicle that only makes sense for mars they would have no money left for any investment in Mars (sending colony ships or whatever).

But for getting the most profit out of LEO launches and suborbital passenger trips they could have built a much smaller rocket, slightly bigger than the Falcon Heavy. As $/kg for launches goes down, you expect average payload size to go down, not up (since it makes less sense to pay for overengineered satellites with lots of redundancies).

Would you say that, on the whole, physicians will make judgements that are approximately as accurate given new data about paroxysmal a-fib as they did before having this new data?

Are they already condemning people to unnecessary treatment on the off-chance that treatment is helpful?

Is there scope here for the AMA to refine procedures to suggest holding off on medication when a condition is only discovered by a persistent monitoring system such as Apple Watch?

Even if the over-medication issue increases, are the live saved via early detection of equal value to the lives damaged by unnecessary medication? If there are more lives saved than damaged, is there a net benefit to society, or are we only interested in the lives lost through action and not at all concerned about the lives lost through inaction?
What's your email I'd ? :) Thanks !
Funny enough, a lot of marketing spiels break out AI as "augmented intelligence". And take the position that it's not their fault if people misinterpret their use of AI as artificial intelligence.
No, for a quite fundamental reason: numbers are a thing we made up, and we made them to work a certain way, and they don't work that way. Part of the definition of an integer is that every integer has a successor, which is also an integer. And—presuming we have an analytical understanding of a function—a function of the integers won't suddenly "malfunction" if fed a sufficiently-large one. A function isn't a computer.

I mean, you could have your own axiomatic set-theory where mathematical induction doesn't work, but I'm not sure how to construct it without it being a very strange set-theory indeed.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. I had the same experience reading through Karax GitHub. I might be spoiled by other docs.
Not a fan of the dumb it down title of heart doctor, cardiologist I feel is fairly widely known, and dumbing it down makes me think that they are dumbing or glossing over other points
I read this in another article and thought Schmidt's prediction sounded very plausible. It parallels the ebb and flow of trade between large economies, which has shifted considerably over the last few centuries. In retrospect it seems somewhat naive to think that this would not apply to information.
Or fortunately for those of us who use desktop computers. Usually battery performance enhancements decrease actual performance. It's a real shame so much good software is gimped just so people can run it on mobile.
If one column contains the basis vectors of one space, and another column contains the basis vectors of another space, then their cross join will contain all pairs of basis vectors. If you were to take the tensor product of each pair you'd end up with a basis for the tensor product space. This is because the Cartesian product shows up in both places.

I'm not sure if this is what the parent comment is getting at, and I'm not sure I see anything deep lurking there, but that could just be me.
One would think that would be as a direct result of consuming more resources, not less. What is it doing to drain your power, do you know?

That would make some sense if we were talking about tests for long-term state, but from what I understand, the test in question detects a potentially rare and irregular event happening. Which means, you can test yourself 100 times, get one indication of a problem, and still not have enough information to be confident that it was a false positive.
He did not source it directly, but looking at some ROC curves from AF detection publications the numbers seem completely reasonable.
Megacorps are usually publicly traded. They have to be careful how they spend their stacked up billions.

The author understands the fallacy just fine. As do you. The flaw is your assumption in paragraph 5. People give the sunk costs greater weight than you, and so you seem to be assuming this fallacy doesn’t really exist.

They stick with a bad movie because they spent the ticket money. Not because they expect the actors to have received lessons and coaching that makes act 3 an Oscar contender. Dinner with their friends would be a better return (for the evening) but they get caught up in that $10 they spent and the “loss” of that if they walk out.
Chrome is not the only browser to do syncing, and syncing is not the only feature of Chrome. This comment makes no sense.
I'm not sure the lack of consensus is the reason. One can learn QM and use it for a whole career without ever worrying about these issues.

I'm not sure why do you mean by "introductory discussion" but I think "popular science" books focus mostly on the controversial parts. At the university level, at least in my experience, you study a lot of classical physics, early quantum physics (1900-1925), and mathematical physics before taking a first look at Quantum Mechanics (Schroedinger/Heisenberg). And you may never be exposed to the relativistic extensions.
the idea that giant global corporations should be required to broadcast whatever you say is naive and silly. They aren't policing what speech is allowed, anybody is allowed to say anything they want to. They're policing what speech they choose to promote.

without facebook or twitter, i don't have the ability to reach an audience of tens or hundreds of thousands. with facebook or twitter, i do. that means that when twitter shares my speech with tens of thousands of people, they're promoting my idea to a larger audience than i would ever have without them. it's ridiculous that they would be required to promote what i have to say. if they choose to not have me on their platform, i can still reach whatever natural audience i can reach without them. they haven't silenced me in any way. Twitter is not a human right.
More than just commenting. John Baez's blogpost is just elaborating on a math trick invented by Greg Egan. It's a variation on an idea by Hanspeter Schmid.
> Accounting for housing costs, California has nation’s highest poverty rate

I assume that the underlying study breaks the population down into quintiles or deciles based on income and then looks at spending on housing for each group, but it's not clear from the article.

If you simply compare average income to average housing costs you're going to get a skewed result. A software engineer living in the Bay Area could be well over the national average for housing (40% or 50% of income, maybe more in some cases) but they're definitely not contributing to an increased poverty level.

Another way of looking at this is that California's poorest counties are in the Central Valley. I suspect this is also where California's cheapest real estate is at.
And yet Firefox has sync too.
The watch monitors heart rate all the time. If it detects some symptoms of a-fib (i.e.: irregular heartbeat) it will prompt the user to use the ECG feature.
Google's moonshot department was quite thoroughly lampooned in HBO's silicon valley, when they put bighead in charge of the hooli equivalent.
I wonder, is it Turing complete?
This suggests that poverty rates do not consider the important factors required to accurately assess if someone is able to afford life. Which surprises me. Why wouldn't cost of living be included in a term that by definition refers to the ability to cover the cost of living?
Dismissively claiming "meh, all of this is old hat" makes OP sound wise, but it doesn't stand up to closer scrutiny. Of course all new languages owe a great deal of debt to what came before, and that's exactly what you'd expect. The vast majority of ideas that humans come up with owe a great deal to previous ideas. We copy, remix, extract the essence, infuse with some inspiration and voila, new idea!

Take Rust for example. It has several cool features, many of which are copied from other languages. Only an idiot would sit on the sidelines and say "oh what's so great about a package manager like cargo, Ruby has had that for a decade". A smarter person would realise that this is exactly how great ideas spread, and what's important is the combination of ideas and features that the language chooses. For Rust it's zero-cost abstractions, a good package manager, no data races, generics and sum types. Maybe this is the exact combination that's perfect for your use case.

I'm no Rust fanboy either, I just chose it because it's the newest one I could think of. I'm sure I could make a similarly strong case for many other popular languages.
BFR is not overkill if you want to launch huge numbers of satellites into LEO. Look at their recent falcon9 multi-satellite per rocket launches for iridium. Now scale that up to 30-40 sats per launch and the second stage is fully resused. Or if you want to launch really gargantuan things into geostationary transfer orbit. Right now the largest satellite that's ever been put in geostationary orbit is about 7000 kilograms. Imagine the transponder capability, and solar panel power generation ability if you were able to launch a 18000 kg satellite into GTO.
I look forward to kowtowing to our Chinese overlords.

I don't know if it applies to the web server, but for the command-line version of youtube-dl, it has a -U option that updates itself. One could create a batch file or shell script that runs that each time, before downloading a video, or do it manually once in a while. Like someone else said, I think the creator updates the app fairly often.

Edit: I had written a post about youtube-dl describing its use a bit, and also a quick look at its code:

I liked the idea of those minimal vim like browsers, but webkit2 lib they all used was always hopelessly out of date, insecure and slow.

I've been keeping an eye on qutebrowser[1] though which offers either up to date [2]qtwebengine or webkit (qtwebengine is the browser engine of chromium minus all the google services and other garbage).

Thank you for sharing. I knew the UK was a bit backward, but not to that extent.
This is interesting...
So the government forcing "equality" was artificial then. People's hearts and minds hadn't changed. I would suggest that forcing solutions on people like equality of outcome are not actually solutions, but mere short sighted illusions. Once the balance of power changes to another group (as it inevitably has throughout history) the smoke and mirrors fade away and the society is left with the original problem, if not and exacerbated one. Now we have bitterness and grudges on both sides and worse relations than before. When I look at history, and then I look at many of today's social justice warriors, I don't have much hope that their methods are going to an actual net positive for either side in the long run. If there is any permanent change, what permanent damage will also be left on the society as a whole. This is not something that is easy to predict and as such is dangerous. Division is growing. Any society throughout history who have had ideologies forced on them have inevitably fought back en mass. Tribalism to this type of stimulus is inherent in humans. The only effective and lasting change that I have witnessed when studying history has been though discourse and discussion (two thing which are being suppressed today). Healthy and respectful discourse leads to concessions and increased empathy on both sides. Opposing enemies become humans to each other, deserving of respect and consideration. Disrespectfully ridiculing the other side's views with blanket classifications meant to silence and discredit the opposition's credibility (and humanity) are far too common today and will only serve to divide further.
Cool makes sense. Could actually still be awesome to have a Lua lib or some other runtime lib that can translate Pallene or some other type-annotated Lua format to plain Lua, just for typechecking and ability to use autocomplete etc.
1. homosexuals - unclear that sexual identity should trump religious identity on the grounds that people choose their religious identity. Maybe don't pick that fight?

2. trans - new social category used to add up to 51% over normal people. Undermining people trying to be good men and good women by focusing on their own genetalia/body and eliminating categories in society so that we can have a more culturally relativistic postmodern utopia that is experienced by christians as satanic since in practice its diametrically opposed to christians themselves to assert thousands of ways of knowing as more important that a prescribed way of life concerning mom and dad raising children. At best, its a distraction and it makes American style democracy even more about protecting 'victimized minorities' from 'oppressive majorities' and thereby undermining democracy itself. These bombastic social issues and papering over them with collectively reciting individual rights against a democratic way of life are the reason why liberals are seen as feckless in the face of conflict between groups that cannot be made to get along. Trans people are people. Let's leave it at that.

3. Immigrants - this is clearly mostly an economic issue, and tolerance requires borders. Replacement migration is substitute for making new americans ourselves. It would be an improvement for leftist goals if the government cared about the difficulty of having children today. An accountability system from the economy to its own people, much less a majority, is missing when we conceive of an economy that is not in service to its people.

Race or gender discrimination - equality under the law. Leftists want to elevate minorities in the form of rainbow coalition/intersectionality/coalition of the fringes. Lady justice is supposed to be blind, yet the 'liberal' media love to attack white men and sell advertising agianst it for racists. White male republicans are wrongfully discriminated against by the mainstream culture, which is not the same thing as the society. A lot of the culture just hates middle america the same as the middle east (amy chua) and this tribalism is discriminating against people in such a way as to be cross cutting effect some non-whites, some females, and some non-republicans. You can't turn on ESPN to escape from it. It's totalitarian and therefore is not respectable. Meanwhile, leftists want to be rewarded based on victim status and ensure equality of outcome (facebook pays everyone with the same title the same, and brings on women and minorities that are unqualified and including 'white people', barely literate and ask me to help them write emails in english.

No, but there is a certain truth to it.

Android JIT and UWP deployments can be traced back to how mainframes work, specially IBM z and IBM i ones.

IDEs although quite powerful, still lack several common features from Xerox PARC research.

A good example is how Flutter gets sold to developers. What would the audience think if the same examples would be shown using Smalltalk, Common Lisp/Interlisp-D/Dylan instead?

LLVM is great development, specially in what it was brought to the table to C and C++. Yet reading the PL/8 research compiler for IBM RISC does sound quite familiar to how LLVM was designed.

Everyone is now running containers on their laptops, well so were IBM and Unisys on their mainframes.

Now we have the cloud and browser as UIs, when I started working professionally we had MS-DOS terminals with Clipper applications connected to Novell Netware servers.

So yes, there is lot of important work being done, but most of the time it does feel we are doing circles.

Many years ago I shared that I browse across several browsers, separating usage depending on the site I am visiting.

+ Gmail, Drive, Google Calendar = Chrome

+ Sites I trust = Firefox

+ Sites I do not know or trust = Firefox Private browsing (or Firefox Focus on Android)

This involves cautiously copying links from browser to browser, and if I make a mistake I have a scorched Earth policy of the history and cookies.

The only thing that is consistent is that they all have Pinboard so I can bookmark as I go along.

Over the years this feels more and more like the safest thing to do, to compartmentalise according to trust, and trust Google only with whatever you want tracked.
Not sure that there’s such thing. I mean if you’re not persistent enough you won’t know if there’s a value to it. And if you are persistent enough you won’t know what the alternative would have been and if that would have been better than you are right now.
The Black Arts of SaaS Pricing
The one resource you won't get any more of from any cloud provider by scaling vertically, is network latency. (Because with most cloud providers, you've usually already got the fastest link you'll get for an instance, on their cheapest plan!)

Given the same provider, ten $50 instances can usually handle a much higher traffic load (in terms of sheer bulk of packets) than a single $500 instance can.

Alternately, you can switch over to using a mainframe architecture, where your $500 instance will actually have 10 IO-accelerated network cards, and so will be able to effectively make use of them all without saturating its however-many-core CPU's DMA channels.
It's why you should be skeptical of the "X% of people globally have been lifted out of extreme poverty in the past X years" stories.

> browsers should just stay neutral.

Browsers are user agents - they should behave as such.

Trackers only exist because of decisions they made (to store files on behalf of users that websites ask them to). They made that choice for users. Now they are realizing that isn't always the right choice and are looking to make a slightly different choice.
