Yes, it is a different work. The current one published at Nature is from DeepMind.

It is interesting to note the differences. For example, DeepMind notes "In our reader study, all of the radiologists were eligible to interpret screening mammograms in the USA, but did not uniformly receive fellowship training in breast imaging." whereas DeepHealth notes "All readers were fellowship trained in breast imaging", so +1 to DeepHealth.

On the other hand, DeepMind says "Where data were available, readers were equipped with contextual information typically available in the clinical setting, including the patient’s age, breast cancer history, and previous screening mammograms." while DeepHealth says "Radiologists did not have any information about the patients (such as previous medical history, radiology reports, and other patient records)", so +1 to DeepMind. And so on. These differences make direct comparison between studies very difficult.
I'll vote for the old version - fix the bugs and DON'T add new features. One app, one task.
I suspect you're being willfully dense.

The theory you paint would be composite of other assumptions (involving lighting, forces, or stars, e.g.?) which in turn are either in contradiction with observation (implying Pr=0%), or rely on further (very low probability) assumptions in order to avoid contradiction.

If that's not true, then you've just given a strange name to the empty set of assumptions, which is the null hypothesis; and the null hypothesis DOES get epistemological privilege.
Sorry to pile on, and I don't think you deserved the downvotes, but I'd like to point out there may be an undiscovered planet in the solar system.

>Apple has been known for its attention to detail in the past and it has served them well

This was true 15 years ago and not today. I tried to sync my mom’s photos on her iPad with her Mac when I visited a few days ago, and was unable to accomplish the task in the time I was there. I had to do a software update for the Mac to talk to the iPad, which didn’t necessarily fail, yet never succeeded either, just had a 100% complete loading bar indefinitely. No feed back, nothing. Bad UX. Restarted many times. At one point I thought I bricked her computer because it wouldn’t boot. Maybe I’m not that smart, but should I need to be intelligent to use Apple products?

I think what’s different is who is screwing up software today. Apple used to be great at UI/UX. Ironically the best UI/UX I use today is Gnome3 on Debian, and I like Windows 10 more than OS X now. That would have been unheard of in Apple’s prime. This was the opposite 10 years ago. You could find bad examples of software gore in the previous era. I think this is cyclical, there’s just more consequences now than before.

"Modern" reactor designs would indeed solve many problems with nuclear energy. But nuclear reactors are for the most part extremely expensive projects with high risks, so only conservative designs that are well tested are actually being built. This has been a problem for the last four decades, and I don't see why it would suddenly change. If anything risk appetite probably decreases as civilian nuclear reactors stop making financial sense.
And what is the difference in productivity between using your custom built tools in your business workflow, vs just sitting there with your dick in your hand instead, unable to work, or having to use Notepad and Excel?

There's way more to life than just dollars and cents. Indeed, this really seems to be the larger point here. The bean counters and ladder climbers are now in control of everything, with disastrous consequences.

It's not you. This is a cycle that repeats itself every 10 years or so. We're in that spot in the circle where frameworks are too heavy and complicated and everybody's ready to go back to creating spaghetti in raw js. That's exactly what happened 10 years ago when Flash gave way to ES5.

> We will see real estate values collapse in some of the most affected regions and we will see real estate values increase in regions that benefit from the warming climate.

What happens this decade is the same as the last decade.

The difference is small for any measure. Seas rise at about the same rate, climate changes at the same rate. wtf? If anything technology is improving and long term implementations are starting to be implemented to reduce the issues we saw from the last decade.

> Plant based diets will dominate the world

Meat will rise and continue to rise. The world is getting richer, this stats are undeniable. It's like they look at the fad at McDonalds down the road and extrapolate across the world. Once lab based meat becomes normal (perhaps this decade) it will increase even faster.
Over and Under Qualified
I don't think the point of the post was that it was a radically new approach, but rather that it is an application of concepts that are considerably more general. The hope in using such concepts is that, being so general, you will start to see them everywhere, and using higher-level abstractions lets you see connections that you would otherwise miss. It's a kind of compression of the conceptual space that one works in. Category theory is all about trying to recognize and catalog these connections.
Big Shrink. Universe expands into itself, which is equivalent to our shrinking.
Yes it seems people were confused by my first sentence. I should have said "the perception of the climate crisis will increase, leading to faster adoption of green policies".

There's a reason why people in rural areas are less aware of climate change due to human pollution. The effects of pollution are much less apparent in rural areas due to the far lower human density. Rural areas are "clean" to the human eye, so we have large swaths of the population that simply don't care about long term effects of pollution, because to them, even the short-term effects are almost indiscernible.

People are moving to cities at a faster rate despite the proliferation of the internet. As such, we'll eventually reach a critical mass of the population that eventually leads us to adopting greener policies. All because people are moving into cities from rural areas. I get that it sounds counterintuitive.
> I'm pretty sharp with US employment, tax and passport forms, yet that's the first time that I've heard somebody being banned for an I-9 mistake.

Accidental false claims to citizenship are a "whoops, game over" situation which crops up on immigration advice forums from time to time. The USCIS policy manual [1] specifically mentions the I-9 citizenship question as grounds to make an inadmissibility decision, and cites relevant immigration appeals cases.

Moddable isn't:

https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/tree/public/...
Yeah. It's a lot of stuff to cover. I should maybe have put all the details in GitHub, and just presented the key results.

I did scrape ping.pe using a shell script with numerous lines like this:

> google-chrome --headless --run-all-compositor-stages-before-draw --virtual-time-budget=25000 --print-to-pdf='[IPv4-date].pdf' http://ping.pe/[IPv4] && sleep 4

Also, if I hit it too long, it started providing bullshit results. So I ended up doing it from Whonix, so each request came from a different IPv4. And I did try to contact them to arrange payment. But got no reply.

I did read about RIPE ATLAS. But it seemed necessary to host a probe. And then get credits to use other probes. But maybe I misunderstood. So is there an API?

I didn't do any systematic cross-verification between ping services. For each VPN server IPv4, I just got the minimum minrtt value, for all measurements from all ping services. However, I did verify that ping probes generally yielded plausible minrtts for VPN server IPv4 that didn't show implausible minrtt with any ping probe.[0 vs 1]

Nothing feels more broken to me than the React / Javascript web ecosystem. Writing rich, stateful UI's in HTML isn't trivial, but React plus webpack hell turns this into a mess that is so difficult to develop, maintain, and reason about, that people just quit trying and accept that their error tracker will be full of random bugs that nobody can explain or reproduce. It makes me sad.

Not really. An old mk4 golf will let you do 650km at 200kph on the Autobahn with 5m refueling time. But Germans are going hard after no speed limit so that will soon not be an argument.
> Projections for the next decade abound. In the 2020s, mass adoption is surely to take off, they say. Blockchain technology will revolutionize and solve every problem in the world. On the other hand, regulatory scrutiny is likely to intensify, with central bankers paying closer attention than ever before.

The thing that makes Bitcoin so confusing for many people is that it solves problems most people don't consider problems - yet. It's a form of electronic money without a state or central authority - the first and most important example. Its existence means that it's possible to do things with money that were previously impossible.

Whenever a new technology makes something possible that wasn't previously, pundits note how poorly-suited it is to do things that are already being done with other products. They tend to be blind to those things that can now be done that weren't previously possible.

Bitcoin doesn't require mass adoption as a payment network to succeed. It just needs to fill one or more niches that no other form of money can fill.

Given the increasing normalization of mass surveillance and sanction-driven US foreign and domestic policy, it's not that much of a stretch to see the role Bitcoin will play in the world ahead.

Censorship-resistant money is going to be a very big deal by 2030, and Bitcoin is currently positioned to be the center of that universe.

Why do they need 150 people to run a non interactive site?

I'm not against anything about them but if they want donations, their way of expense should be clearer.
I understand the pressure on js frameworks and the like. Even Microsoft attacked the same problem with Blazor. But the original goal of these frameworks is and still is portable code. I might be the rare engineer whose work flow is accelerated by these frameworks, but I also carry an approach to creating well patterned interchangeable components. And by and far I believe that is the real issue in the industry.

However if we are talking about speed. I do agree. But that is because to me it is madness to have these frameworks sitting on the main thread. And should be concurrently offloaded to a worker. Reactor's concurrent mode is also a great stab at this problem. Howver I believe the point is missed.

Being the only bindings a framework should have on the main thread is it's interactions with the dom. Everything else, including the virtual dom should be on a different thread.

So while I understand the push back, I believe people are missing the point. These frameworks have been implemented in the easiest fashion and have matured. But now that we can rely on multiple cores and ht. There should be a response.

Not to mention Web Apps vs Web Sites. We need to make that distinction, especially in line with wasm now being matured.

Alan Weisman's book Countdown revealed to me about countries that lowered birth rates without coercion. Before reading it I only know about the one-child policy and some eugenics attempts. I highly recommend the book. I just recorded a conversation with him for my podcast. Fascinating conversation but it's still in the editing queue.

Off the top of my head, his main examples were Thailand, Iran, and Mexico. Here's a piece on Thailand https://www.context.org/iclib/ic31/frazer. Wikipedia covers Iran between 1989 and 2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_planning_in_Iran. Cultures including Japan and Italy saw dramatic decreases in birthrates without focused efforts.

Concerning the possibility of making a "passable rendition" using virtual instruments, it's certainly possible, and it's generally called an orchestral mockup. Having done a lot of those, I can tell you this particular one would require a massive amount of work, most of which will be spent tweaking the dynamics for each note of each instrument or section; testing and selecting the most appropriate instruments from your (hopefully large and expensive) library; perhaps inputting rubato or tweaking the timing of notes; and massaging plugins from several different vendors into a cohesive whole.

Having done this, you could get a result that the vast majority of people would be unable to identify as synthesized.

In some places it will be necessary to do a bit of creative interpretation in order to accommodate for the limitations of your tools, for example, the clarinet trills at the beginning might need to be slowed down a bit. Nonetheless, a virtual instrument like SWAM Clarinets will get you there. These days, they're quite realistic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmsehqcjc9g
That's a good use case with ZWave. Kudos for setting it up.

Still for the lighting case, an occupancy sensing light switch with timed shutoff could take care of most usage. Actually lots of jurisdictions have updated their building code in recent years to require occupancy sensing light switch to save energy.

When I arm the perimeter alarm of the alarm system at night, it would check to make sure all the doors and windows are closed. Most alarm systems support perimeter alarm.

Most thermostats can run on a schedule to adjust the temperature. Nest and the likes can do occupancy check.

Of course they won't support the exotic uses but most of the basic needs are met.

I don't disagree that the ladder of abstraction is perilously tall, but every example of slower/buggier software in this post is assumed to be caused by abstraction.

Your dismissive attitude implies that you think there are fundamental discoveries waiting to happen that will affect our lives in the same way as the great discoveries of classical and modern physics.

There are not.

At energy scales up through electroweak unification and the Higgs mechanism (~10^2 GeV), the known forces of nature are basically completely understood at the fundamental level. There are many applications yet to be invented -- basically, solving the equations is really hard for anything more complicated than a hydrogen atom -- but the fundamental theory? It's done.

But what about quantum gravity? Dark energy? All those other weird things?

Well, the simple fact that we do not have experimental evidence to guide the development of these theories is prima facie evidence that they are not important at everyday energy scales. If we could access the requisite domains, we would have that evidence! Yes, these theories are important cosmologically or for true "fundamental" understanding, but so was electroweak unification. They will never help us build better gadgets, full stop.

I'd love an explanation for why you'd think this to be generally true, and for any category.
Very true, me saying they're totally isolated isn't 100% correct. That's sympathetic resonance, and other details like the pedals also slightly affects the resonance and pressing the pedals may be audible in a quiet/intimate recording. It's very subtle though and probably not noticeable by anyone who doesn't have lots of experience with a real piano. Many modern piano libraries actually do model/sample those properties though (I have no idea how).

While we're on it, drums aren't totally isolated either, they affect themselves. A snare roll is slightly different than just playing many snare samples rapidly because of the chains on the drum, and heavy cymbals also take some time to build up momentum so the first hit and tenth hit will sound different if it has not settled. These are all very subtle though compared to something like a guitar or violin or trombone where transitioning from one note sample to another sample digitally can be very obvious.
In the past, there were very few programs and they had to run very well. The cost of developing and deploying software was higher that care had to be taken, deep expertise brought in, so that low level code, that you might never get to patch, could run reliably for years.

Now that we can write, update and deploy software so easily, there’s a very long tail of mediocre programs that get the job done. The average program will of course be slower and buggier than the average program 20-40 years ago. But I have millions of commoditized apps at my fingertips compared to relatively few 20-40 years ago.

It’s also the case that in the past we were forced to prematurely optimize. Google can update gmail tomorrow to make it faster for everyone. Even 10 years ago as a native software dev, I had to obsess over the slowest piece of hardware I needed to support.

Unreal has dropped their scripting language for a visual alternative called Blueprints. It is possible to make an entire game with it not writing any C++ and is possible to make one completely in C++. The best is of course using them together. And exactly the same applies to Godot. Just swap Blueprints for GDScript a Python-like scripting language. In a final note Unity, has dropped JavaScript. Though C++ can somehow be used, C# is indeed more or less Unity's language.
Adopting the term (man) for the human species to refer to males is a common feature of Romance and Germanic languages, but is not found in most other European languages (Slavic čelověkъ vs. mǫžь, Greek ἄνθρωπος vs. άνδρας, Finnish ihminen vs. mies etc.).
