Many of the flaws with the article have been pointed out, but can I just point out the author is so lazy that he doesn't even remove the weight of the fuel from the Boeing 737, nevermind the jet engine and the many other optimisations that can be done when designing from scratch without the ICE constraints. His thought experiment is literally a Boeing 737 with a 25T battery attached to it, and he takes that to be the best case of what Elon is proposing... What makes smart people write things so trivially dumb?

And in case the author objects to me dissecting his rough sketch of an argument and drawing conclusions about him from it, he should have thought of that before taking 5 sentences spoken in a podcast and assuming he understands what the complete idea someone else has in mind is.
It wasn’t obvious from the landing page but can you link estimates from different models? It would be super cool to directly import variables and their estimates from other models.

One issue with software at hospital is that the various departments buy what's best for them, with little regard to interop needs with other departments.

So, admissions, for example, buys what they want, and don't care about the integration with, say, radiology.

Hiring a medical assistant to effectively take dictation and record things in the EMR happens, but far more common are voice recognition systems and templating (which leads to its own set of issues). Long additional hours charting are another thing that happens - most doctors I know seem to spend at least a couple extra hours charting, dealing with labs, etc after they've seen their last patients for the day.
They give customers a discount for reused boosters and their production rate is kinda stable thanks to falcon heavy and customers like the federal government asking for brand new rockets for some missions.

This is terrifying. I used to take a lot of ibuprofen for frequent headaches (much better now). Military doctors were overzealous with the 800mg prescriptions (double the OTC dose).

I suppose I should just use naproxen or acetaminophen? Ibuprofen always seemed the most effective to me.
I too, am leery of accepting this incident as a deliberate attack.

The Chicago Tribune wrote a less hyperbolic article, indicating that they were forced to print a stripped down version of their paper[0].

An NBC reporter reached out to Tribune for comment, which seems to shed more light on the nature of the problem. [1]

>The computer malware was detected Friday and “impacted some back-office systems which are primarily used to publish and produce newspapers across our properties,” said Marisa Kollias, Tribune communications vice president, in a statement.

At this point I don't see any reason to believe that a copy formatter (I don't know the industry term) didn't just happen to be looking at porn during their break, and accidentally clicked the wrong link.

The LATime's treatment of the event is lazy and, I suspect, quite misleading.

A single physical NIC really caused this? Throughout, what now, over a dozen states? This is a service that is promised to have redundancy. I think this story is sufficiently light on the details that the comments can happily engage in clever speculation on how this could happen.

I wonder how many of these redundancies are virtualized and are in Colorado? I mean, of course that's a joke, because it can't be that simple of an explanation, that'd be ridiculous.
I think the biggest problem is building the application ecosystem. iOS and Android were able to attract developers because they were the first movers on the computer phone platform. Convincing people to use a new OS for desktop (or any existing) computing without any apps would be difficult, and vice-versa convincing devs to support a platform with no users is also tough.
Regardless of your (or my) personal political leanings, don't you think it's a bit of a thought-bubble red flag if you consider someone as automatically discredited for holding a ~majority (or even major minority) political stance?
>But it's still happening, starting with EKG and ultrasound.

Whole-body ultrasound? How would an AI understand how to interpret images with low signal:noise? Who will be performing the actual ultrasound image capture? Who will be ordering the imaging tests? How will an AI understand a patient that can't meaningfully interact with an AI?

What's the utility of "EKG" [sic] for diagnosing non-cardiac problems? Or, do you come from the perspective that all medical problems can be diagnosed with an ECG, urine analysis, ultrasound (of what?), blood test, and CT scan? Do you realize that an ECG is more complex than a single vector ECG via Kardia mobile?

I thought we were trying to reduce healthcare costs, but you're recommending over-utilization of expensive diagnostics?

Why are you limiting treatment to doctors only, why not have AI do everything?

Everything you've written demonstrates an extremely limited understanding of the practice of medicine, a characteristic far too common shared by those who are trying to "disrupt" medicine.
600mg per day is an enormous dose, albeit not especially uncommon. I’d be more interested though in the effects of, say, 200 - 400mg per week.

No, that’s precisely my point: this expression can be evaluated faster and more accurately than by applying generic numeric integration method. Computing this EllipticF function is not different than computing natural logarithm, and if you don’t mind latter, there is not much reason to shy from former.
I don't think it's true to say that no one thought reuse could be done in a commercially viable way. After all, the entire DC-X program cost about the same as a single F9 launch.
Having read half the paper, the treatment group took 600mg ibuprofen daily for 14 to 44 days to induce the reported effect of compensated hypogonadism, though the 12 and 24 hour effects on testosterone were apparently easily detectable on ex vivo testicle samples. So, maybe if you need your testosterone, keep off the OTC pain medications. And probably don't donate samples of your testicle either.

Interesting paper though.
Haha, of course it wouldn’t really be much of an improvement over what you already have, and clearly I’m too lazy to do it myself — I would just enjoy looking at it :)
Yeah, it's amazing there is just a brief flash and everything is up and running again.

When I had slightly more unstable drivers, Windows could recover from that as well. The driver would crash, screen goes black, and then back up and running again without most apps noticing (excluding games and video playback).

I get what you're saying, but ibuprofen and acetaminophen save lives. The problem is the western (American?) tendency to self-medicate and to over medicate with really potent stuff. That shouldn't be as normal as it is.
> What DLLs do you imagine "most updates" affect that are not in use by MS Office, Chrome, games, etc.?

Yeah, you can't update libc this way.

But outside of a short list of DLLs that are used by everything, files are mostly specific to a single program, and 90% of my programs are trivial to update by virtue of the fact that they aren't running.

And most of the background services on both linux and windows can be restarted transparently.
Given the excess pipeline capacity to Mexico from the article I'm guessing building a chemical plant in Mexico would be good thing, except it probably takes 3 - 5 years before you can bring a plant online and who knows what gas prices or demand will be like 5 years from now.
It isn’t enormous at all. 400mg every 4 hours is the OTC dose (at least in the US). My prescription was 800mg.

I've been suffering from migraines since ~14yo, to the point that I can wake up and know if I'm going to get a migraine or not.

I take naproxen, if I know I'll get a migraine I'll take 1x250mg, if I have a migraine I take 2-3x250mg depending on how severe it is.

Cause of mine is generally lack of sleep when stressed so I make sure to sleep properly and don't let myself get stressed out, so I only get migraines ~once a month now, compared to several times a week when I was at school.
I recently went to the doctor with a shoulder strain and without even looking at it he prescribed 1000mg daily for 2 weeks then "come back if it still hurts".
i dont know anybody that pitches index funds as guaranteed appreciation, just that they will do average for cheaper.

There are plenty of index funds that take into account other countries, REIT indexes that hold real estate, etc.

Even if you use just a SP500 index, you get some global exposure as well - disney, coke, pepsi, etc are all worldwide brands.

Lets say its a given you can do better by adding more stocks, actively managed funds, actual real estate, etc, for the simplicity of it you get 80% of the way there with just one or two simple indexes.

>Could people please stop spreading FUD here?

Do you mean me? If so, why not say so. "Could people please stop X-ing here?" is very passive-aggressive. I looked up 'FUD' - Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Not sure how what I said counts as any of those. Your comment certainly seems to want to spread FUD, however. (And why is this your account's only comment on HN?)

I don't know the significance of your first sentence either. I know nothing about the versions of Stockfish used for this or anything else. Maybe you're taking too much for granted. i.e. that I know enough of the minutiae to understand your comments. Could you fill in the dots a bit? And who are 'all these web companies'?

I'm not super-interested in AlphaZero (or computer chess generally) - haven't read any of the papers, for example. But there's a lot of talk about the various Alphas in the online chess world, since before it was playing chess, and I found these videos very impressive. And it's ridiculous to say "This might as well not have happened". Maybe true for you, but not for the chess world, at all.

Pregnant women are advised to take Tylenol instead of Ibuprofen
If you look closer at the headline picture you'll see the far truck has its hood open with people looking under it, and combined with the modified nature of the trucks I'm going to agree that this seems to be less of a protest and more some type of truck meet that's ignoring parking laws for shiggles.
How is that an enormous dose? The recommendation is 2x200mg every 4-6h. When doing competitive athletics, I probably took 1-3g of “vitamin I” a day.

The only thing Epic has going for it is that it's not Cerner.

Along with the high sustained dosage others have mentioned the small sample size (14 in the experimental group) should be noted.
The authors of the paper seem to believe that the object would have been to slow down the typist (had the jamming hypothesis been correct). The opposite would have been true. Increase the difference of the angle of approach of successive hammers, and you decrease the chance of jamming and increase the speed. I'll admit that the Z-SE ("dot-dot-dot-space-dot" in early American Morse, with the length of the space/mark mkaing the difference) problem makes some superficial sense, but then there's a corresponding R-EI ("dot-space-dot-dot") and others that aren't reflected on the QUERTY keyboard. (The original Morse code needed far too much space-length discipline, which is why it was replaced fairly quickly, even in the NIH-heavy USA.)
In Australia , pregnant women are told not to take ibuprofen unless told by doctor. Paracetamol Is the pain killer suggested, and only if really required.
I mean, it's cleaner if you do it not for real numbers but rather for sets of whole numbers (which are of course in bijection with the reals). Then you can offload all such fiddliness to that one bijection, rather than dealing with it repeatedly in different contexts.

So back to good old aspirin? Acetaminophen slowly kills your liver and Ibuprofen messes with testosterone production.
I'm not intuitively convinced that this proof is sound because I feel like is ignoring the concept of "stretching" when mapping a fixed range like (0,1) to a larger or smaller set. EG, I don't care that you can map points from (0,1) to (0,2) one to one, because I know that each element in (0,2) is forced to cover twice as much space (regardless of taking the limit so that the cover goes to zero, this cover ratio is always 2:1 ). It smells fishy, like Cantor invented a way of comparing set sizes that intentionally drops units of cover so that naturally distinct elements fall into the same equivalence class. Most arguments occur downstream of this choice, so debates are imprecise and people speak past each others points.

Unfortunately if you object to Cantor's ideas online, you will be flooded with people who will call you a moron and recite whatever garbage explanation they received as a child, instead of offering some thoughtful counterpoint. At the end of the day I think Cantor's ideas are a mathematical tool that the mainstream has run with, but isn't actually the most useful tool.

(Monster) Curves which have continuous dimensions should be the basis for creating a infinite set system with consistent utility. (EG, there are curves which are very "spiky" that they break free of being 1 dimensional but, are not quite an area (dimension 2) -- they could be perhaps 1.6 dimensional, IE- they _sort-of_ have an area. ) With Cantor-tinted glasses a normal 1 dimensional line would have the same cardinality of points as a 1.6 dimensional one, so some richness is lost.
> My prescription was 800mg.

Sure, but it’s not like 800mg is 4x or even 2x more effective than 200mg. Ibuprofen is great, I just don’t really see the point of risking dying and whatever else for what’s at most a very marginal benefit.

It’s not enormous in the sense that it’s uncommon per se, but rather in the sense that it’s way outside the efficient frontier on the risk/reward curve.
I suspect it’s growing more than google losing, but this chart is almost useless as each stack is not labeled.

This seems like an endocrine effect, rather than a chromosomal one.

I'd expect XXY to cause endocrine effects because sex-linked cells are operating with bad genetic info.

This paper suggests that Ibprofen might cause sex-linked cells to misbehave because of chemistry.

It doesn't seem like there is evidence here that Ibprofen would have had an effect on chromosomes. These are two independent causes of sex-linked malformity/endocrine issues, not a case of one causing the other.
Are you able to apply global correlations to all the variates?

One of the triggers for the financial crisis in '08 was that the Monte Carlo pricers assumed the various risks were much less correlated than they actually were.

For example, they largely assumed that it was unlikely for many mortgages or underlying MBS securities to simultaneously default (low correlation). This is how many AAA rated CDO securities ended up trading at 50%+ discounts.

IMHO, any multivariate Monte Carlo analysis that doesn't show your sensitivity to correlation is essentially useless, since your answers may change completely.

In the second example model (https://www.getguesstimate.com/models/316), Fermi estimation for startups, you would expect many of the inputs (deals at Series A, B, C, amount raised per deal) in real life to be highly correlated with each other since they all depend on 'how well is VC in general doing right now?'

The final estimate of 'Capital Lost in Failed Cos from VC' has a range of 22B to 39B, this seems way too low. The amount of VC money lost during a crisis (like in '01) can easily be an order of magnitude more.
I think the most important thing is that he's moving the goalpost and forcing the competition to innovate. Whether one believes Tesla will become profitable long term or not, that company has definitely accelerated the shift towards electric cars, which is a good thing for all of us. I feel like SpaceX is doing the same for the aeronautic industry. It would be amazing to see SpaceX send astronauts to Mars, but even if that doesn't happen, now other space launch companies are thinking about reusable launchers, bigger rockets, and finding creative ways to reduce costs.
I like using pointer-to-array types for this purpose as (like an array in struct) the array's length is encoded in the type, and thus likewise allows the compiler to warn if an incompatible array is provided.
e.g.

void f(char (*n)[255]);
char array[6];
f(&array);

warns of "incompatible pointer types passing 'char (* )[6]' to parameter of type 'char (* )[255]'"

This won't produce a diagnostic for f(NULL) like "static" does, but does have two properties that might be considered benefits:

1) The length is exact rather than a minimum.

2) The type of "* n" is still char[255], whereas a char[static 255] parameter is still a decayed pointer-to-char. Thus with the former sizeof(* n) behaves as expected inside of "f", yielding 255.

These are true of the array-in-struct method as well.
These quadrature techniques are strictly more powerful than adaptive sampling. Part of the motivation for this blog post was to raise awareness of quadrature, as it's an excellent general method when you want to numerically approximate an integral.

One reason to compute with excess accuracy is so that you can compute partial derivatives of arclength with respect to some parameter in the inner loop of an optimizer, to drive Newton or related solving. If the estimate has significant errors, then it can throw off the outer optimization loops. Of course, this only makes sense if it's cheap to compute the inner terms; if you have to pay dearly for accuracy, then use a more robust optimizer.

Question for anyone who knows: would it be against European regulation to paste some key paragraphs from the article here to summarise?
Clearly you have never been in the USMC. In hind sight it was pretty stupid but I have taken up to 1600mg per day for several days/ weeks in a row.

Amazon is only truly dominant in US. In EU there is much more of a mixed bag and APAC is a completely different story. They also do not white label as far as I know, so partnerships with cable operators are still mostly for Roku and Google.

I’m purposefully discounting TiVo from the future list, as I have not seen them to be a strong OTT platform player in the last few years.
I once had an extraordinarily low level of blood testosterone reading after I had taken Ibuprofen for a few days.
Seems like a sound idea and I don't see any obvious reason why you couldn't do that. Especially if the PMs have a less technical background, as they often do. What you're talking about is sort of like a technical advisory or senior dev role and seems like a good thing for a company to have.

Politically it would probably be good to get each PM's buy-in and agreement about it, just from a standpoint of protecting their precious egos and avoiding a pissing match. Even though they seem to be the ones stepping on your toes a bit.
> I have often wondered if it would be better to just hire professional data entry people to follow the doctor around and enter all the information into the system.

"Pay off your credit card balance"

Most Americans will never be able to get past this one. If you can, you already know how to spend less than you earn and are way ahead of the game.

This advice is sort of like telling a society of overweight people to "eat less calories than you burn". True, but not very helpful.
That's the local OTC dose here (Germany), too, although I always got the somewhat strict advise that this shouldn't be kept up for more than four days in a row.

Mostly because of renal damage and gastrointestinal issues, if I remember correctly.
