> Talk is cheap, show me the code/server/chip if they ever exist.

Bloomberg is a journalism organization. They'll report and cross-check testimony that there's been a chemical weapons attack in Syria, but they're not going to go there to collect samples of the chemicals. They aren't going to have "the code/server/chip" to show you, and they shouldn't be expected to.

Furthermore, the people who talked to Bloomberg who may have access to the "code/server/chip" are anonymous and may not be able to have too many details released publicly without compromising their identities. Bloomberg may have more details than they have reported, but be unable to release them publicly while respecting their sources' confidence.
I don't think it matters whether there are humans in space or not. As long as we establish some kind of research or industry up there.

We already know of certain types of manufacturing which is more effective or even made possible in zero-g (fiber optic as one example). Plus we can despoil the area with fewer negative consequences due to the lack of a biosphere.

Next the extraction of elements that are only available in low quantities on Earth, or which are too expensive to lift into space.

Until these operations expand to such a level that zero-latency human oversight is required, they can probably be managed safely and cheaply from Earth.
The common factors of three cases I can see:

1.The lies were used to create hostility of public towards another country.

2.A lie was not considered as a lie at the time when the lie was presented.

3.Public don't remember the history and can be fooled again by media or government

Just my speculation. I'm not the author
I think I am the only person on the internet who remembers this, but ten years ago Google had some damn good WinCE apps on the old Windows Mobile. The Google Maps was especially good, and saw updates well after iPhone had stolen everybody's hearts and minds. Then MS killed Win32 on mobile in favor of the Silverlight-based SDK for WP7. I always see that as the turning point. I imagine someone at Google seeing this forced rewrite and saying, why waste our time?
The nurse is the the only "professional" human in the entire chain who actually handled the obviously anomalous dose of medicine, and she didn't raise a flag.

As more of the pipeline becomes automated and vulnerable to GIGO, the role of those physically administering the medication needs to adapt accordingly. The nurse should have been trained and encouraged to police such errors. If something looks abnormal, it probably is, push the button that summons the MD to verify the physical thing before administering it.
Yes. The question is if it should be on HN or not.

Honestly things seem pretty good to me these days- airpods are magical of course, but even my Taotronics headphones seem to reconnect automatically when I power them on, and when I connect from a different device they switch over smoothly.

A political move where some external country is portrayed as doing something against American interests, without any proof, only to serve a political agenda by lying to their own populace.

Have had docs prescribe med combos (same doc, same visit) that would have resulted in permanent damage or death if not caught. Luckily we have three people check all my other half’s meds before she takes them. She does an FDA search and checks drug/drug interactions. I do one independently and her father, idk what he does, but he’s actually an oncologist so presumably better than our checks. (Outpatient)

Too many close calls over the years. People make mistakes, it happens, ultimately the patient needs to be responsible for their care or have someone acting in their best interests.

Of course all of this gets into things like medically informed consent and patient goals.

tl;dr you made the same mistake the hospital did with the units. kg * mg is g^2, which is most certainly not the correct unit for a dose.

If measured in mg/kg (actually a dimensionless ratio), multiply by weight in kg and the kg cancels out to give you the actual dose in mg.
Any amount of money you could possibly hope to save from polluting, would be massively offset by the other truly titanic costs.
This is actually from FT Allhaville. I posted the archive.org link because sometime since 2015 the article has been placed behind a login page.

> why will we be supporting both WebM and animated WebP?

From: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq (Why not simply support WebM in <img>?)

WebM uses more memory, it is less widely supported, uses more resources when playing, and is currently less efficient compression-wise than WebP.

About FLIF, I was recently checking it and it's indeed a very interesting format. Notably because it can be used on any type of image. I assume it hasn't pickep up steam because it doesn't have the backing of any big sponsor. Google is pushing WebP, and introducing another format at this time is probably not worth it.
Is the China hack good for publicity?
I personally don't believe Bloomberg's reporting based on Apple and Amazon's strong denial and outright accusation of being misinformed, and that there's no third-party datacenter worker/homelabber posting that they've found this. But I'm glad this story has come up in the midst of the discussion on online voting machines. This kind of hardware manipulation would be much more powerful there and the hack Bloomberg describes is technically possible. The whole story reeks of this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2030/
The original Bloomberg article said some of the chips were so thin they were sandwiched between PCB layers.
yeah I built one of these out of pallets when I was 10 and it had to be torn down when a neighbor kid stepped on a rusty nail. Fortunately they didn't sue my family. I understood the concept of a hammer and nails, but that was the limit of my knowledge.
Filemaker was great for this. Around 2000, you could get an amazing level of productivity for building small custom relatively complicated apps without writing any real code.

I find that most, if not all of my favorite albums, took many listens to get into. It may be just that my brain is resistant to new things, but I almost never like good music on a first listen. It is not like I dislike good music upon first listen, but it doesn't have the easy to listen catchiness of pop music. It often makes you work for it.
I imagine it won't get any better when the physical administration of all medication also gets automated... like it already is for intravenous systems.

A hacker getting access to such systems would literally be able to control a patient's life --- or the end thereof.
The A12 CPU Core is nearly if not exactly the same as A11. Only difference is clock speed, cache and node improvement. Think of A12 as a optimisation / Tock improvement. ( Anandtech didn't do deep dive on A11 last year due to shortage of staff )

So basically Apple's A11 has already reached Skylake like IPC since last year.

Which makes me wonder why Apple is still paying Intel substantial amount of premium for x86 on Mac? There is at least $100 BOM cost saving, translate to $200 in RSP. In an ideal world, iPad would have had 8 years of iteration and eating away PC market shares. It seems the vision of iPad died along with Steve Jobs 7 years ago today.

Steve, we miss you.
I’m sorry I usually try not to do this but this is some seriously dangerous advice.

It took me literally 30 seconds to find the interaction you’re talking about while tapping about on my phone. Being informed about side effects and interactions needs to be the patient’s (or their family) job.

The space may be alien but we have people who we are paying to help Sherpa us through it. Ask questions. Ask why. If you don’t understand don’t blindly trust - ask your doctor. Seek second opinions.

I’m just a dev, I have 0 medical training. But I know the FDA publishes side effects and interactions. I always understand these before taking anything. Yeah I don’t understand the gibberish in pharmacology sections of things but I can read a list of effects and ask a doctor about them.

TLDR - if you don’t understand your care ask. If the provider won’t explain find another provider who will.
I know, but seeing the article mention "management engines" made me hope that it will direct a bunch of newfound scrutiny on Intel ME/AMD TrustZone/etc
The judging in this case is judging how much time a developer wants to spend investigating a project that they are are evaluating for their own use. I didn’t read it as being judgemental about other people’s work for its own sake.
The people that built all this tech that pays your bills were the kind that would think about the sorts of things I bring up. I don't see that in the latest gen of developers.

Doing a Job (1982)
That's quite a dismissive response for a complex issue.

Nurses deal with pills in all kinds of concentrations, particularly in pediatrics, and while I acknowledge that 38.5 pills doesn't pass the sniff test, it isn't absurd that in pediatric medicine you may wind up giving multiple lower dose pills relative to one full adult dosage (particularly if they're right below the adult dosage, and so a dosage was "created" using multiple lower dosage infant pills).

I think the article is terribly written (all five parts of it), but I cannot see how anyone could have read it and come away with the conclusion that "the nurse did it." There's like a million degrees of nuance here.

That reference is outdated or incomplete, imo. Several manufacturers have air-source heat pumps that work well into the teens and Fujitsu has one rated to -7*F without resistance heat.

Lots of so-called hyper-heat or low-temp heat pumps (often mini-splits) in cold New England. Affording a heat pump is not a high hurdle. You can get a single zone mini-split (heat/cool) for under $1500 with an install typically well under $1000 without a lot of shopping in most of the US.
The problem is workload. All hospital staff is overworked. This is the number one reason problems happen.

Matt Levine wrote in his Thursday column:

2.	It is a national-security secret and the companies were instructed by the FBI never to acknowledge it.
3.	The companies are patriotically but falsely denying the hack."

A lot of redundancy in human languages seems to be related to disambiguation and error correction.

I am shocked that "hackers" here could believe the news are true. Go back to learn some college computer architecture and VLSI courses.
Also worth noting that Bloomberg has demonstrated its willingness to put journalistic integrity ahead of profits in the past. They’re currently blocked in China because of a story they ran years ago about the business connections of the country’s top leaders.

It's not just printing the password. There is also an overhead of configuring the device with a unique password.

Medicine isn't alien if you spend enough years caring about it. The problem is, most people are of the attitude that they shouldn't pay any mind to the science, because the doctors will take care of it. This leads to total dependence on the infallibility of these professionals - and we all know that no professionals are infallible despite their title. The main jig docs have over polymathy knowledge-driven intelligent folk is first-hand sight/smell/ and feel for conditions by seeing patients day in and day out. Drugs though? Most of everyone can understand what would look sketch as fuck in terms of dosing. It pays to have some semblance of heuristics on what competent care and pharmacuetical administration looks like.

The populace would be far better off if we all stopped feigning lack of interest for the things that truly matter. Like medicine/biology. It's the study of us. Sure, delegate decisions to those in the day in, day out - that is diligence. But don't just accept to hear jargon. Learn what's going on. Be active. Knowledge isn't agnostic to specific fields..especially when its about your body itself. That is human knowledge. And everybody who is living should at least be half competent in knowing whether 38 pills of an antibiotic makes any goddamn sense. If this nurse had been a knowledge worker first, and a robotic nurse second, she probably would have caught the issue. Over specialization creates idiots following scripts. Meh..
> your version implies that they are at leadership positions _because_ they are Jewish

That is one of the clearest abstracts I've ever seen in an academic paper.
Some of this story has a real Therac vibe. Bad UI leading to input errors, an overload of undifferentiated and usually unimportant alerts creating a habit of overriding among operators, operators trusting the system in the face of clearly wrong-looking outcomes (including flesh which was warm to the touch, in the case of Therac-25 http://www.cse.msu.edu/~cse470/Public/Handouts/Therac/Therac... ).

This is getting insane. So ousting people from jobs for holding non-lefty political views is not enough. Now a person who has a non-lefty friend or is seen in public with a non-lefty person that is currently undergoing unpersoning campaign is a ground for profound apologies too (and maybe much more, the deed is not done yet and I won't surprise if by the end of it Joel Kaplan decides to spend more time with his family).

No, I stand corrected. This is not getting insane. This is firmly, two feet planted, inside insane territory. Is that what working at Facebook is like - if you go as controversial as supporting a Supreme Court judge, or a lifelong friend, or the idea of due process, you are basically not fit to work there? The small spark of sanity from Zuckerberg does not overcome the overall impression.

Maybe NYT is exaggerating things and this is just small vocal minority which does not reflect the climate in this huge company. One can certainly hope so. But is it true? Is here somebody working for FB that can say if it's indeed as this article seems to suggest - that FB has "policies" that one may violate by merely appearing in public near somebody like Judge Kavanaugh? That your position in the company and your job may be questioned and threatened if you do something like that?
Or just replace an existing chip, which is the most logical way to do it...
With that kind of info you could compute various societal statistics on occupation. Including, for example, being able to see if any large company has minorities underrepresented in higher-level positions.
Ask HN: Visual note taking
Does anyone use any sort of visual note taking or mind mapping tools for personal use?

I'm about to start on a project that will attempt to create an elegant solution for taking notes, organizing them and managing them without mucking about with files and folders directly (my intention is to still store them in plaintext files and avoid any sort vendor lock-in). Current idea in my head is something like an intersection between mapping software, drawing software (diagram, not sketching, so like https://draw.io), and an editor.

What kinds of benefits have you noticed in current solutions? Is there something that's really bugging you with current approaches? What could applications do to avoid interrupting you while you're doing deep work or are in the zone with UI/UX annoyances?
I don't know. Single party consent is great if you want proof that someone is threatening you (or something similar) or even just to have a personal record of a conversation, but I don't know about single party consent to give a copy of the recording to a non-law third party. (There are still ethical issues with providing a copy to authorities when the incriminating information doesn't affect you, but that's beside the point.) For one, it's a huge breach of trust, but it could be very damaging for the non-consenting party. For instance, secretly recording a partners voice during sex and distributing that online would be pretty similar to revenge porn but in audio form. I don't think anybody would be "all for" that

Now this piqued my interest, so I took a look at Wikipedia[1]. Interestingly enough, England seems to allow recording phone calls without notifying the other party as long as it is only for personal use and not made available to a third party, but US Federal law does not seem to have such a stipulation, thus presumably allowing people in one-party consent states to post recordings of phone calls on social media without the other party's consent (unless the state forbids that. It's a bit hard to find concrete information on this), which is pretty troublesome I think. However that is only for telephone recordings and not for private conversations, so maybe the laws are a bit more sensible in that case.

Hahaha. Isn’t that the truth.

It’s come to a point that there is only one true workflow for actual business excel work.

1) Back up your source data and then never touch it.

2) Clean source data, make sure you use tables.

3) As soon as possible, separate data from calculation.

All work, will probably be used more than once. So there is never really anything like “scratch work”. So when you open excel make it a point for it to be readable.

I’ve taken To ensuring calculated fields are at the end of the table. With a column header indicating that this is not native to the original data set.

Document your weird steps.
It was slimy as fuck, but it wasn't this bad. Someone like Trump could never have been taken seriously 20 years ago; a lot had to change to get us to this point. There's ample and varied evidence that American partisanship has skyrocketed in the last quarter-century (for example: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/10/05/takeaways-on...).
> Bloomberg provides zero evidence this happaned, outside of their anonymous sources.

Bloomberg probably ran this hoping that now that people are looking, some folks outside the circle of anonymous sources will find the chip so that they don't risk exposing their sources.
If it were Apple, they wouldn’t write a categorical denial because once the “truth” leaked, their credibility would be shot for a long time. The standard Apple answer would be “Apple could not be reached for comment.”

But no, they went thermonuclear on the denial.
We can simplify the problem consciousness/mind/body simulation much more than what you think if we use your approach.

Give me two programs that produce "seeing red light" 200 ms in a loop and "hearing 400 Hz pure sine wave" for 200 ms from the point of view of person who is not thinking anything particular, accessing his/her memories or feeling his body just at the moment.

Since all computers with limited memory can be reduced to finite-state automaton, we don't even need complex models of computation like Turing machine. Just bunch of states and state transitions is enough.

There is no need for machine learning or the ability to solve problems. Just simple program that is being fully self aware and conscious experiencing simple sensation for a very short time in a infinite loop is enough. Because we can fully control the input, we can eliminate all states and state transitions not visited during the loop.

These can't be very long or complicated programs.
