Likely there would be little to no difference, because as it turns out, outcome risk is an awful predictor of benefit, especially among high-risk patients. Many high-risk patients will be readmitted to the hospital anyway, no matter how much preventative care you throw at them. On the other hand, there are potentially many preventable readmissions among ostensibly low-risk patients, and you can prevent more total readmissions by including them in your targeting as opposed to focusing on a tiny high-risk group.

(A big part of my current PhD research involves building predictive models for patients with complex needs, so I grapple with these issues day in and day out, and often on huge scales—millions of patients. Prediction, at least in the usual supervised ML sense, just doesn't cut it for these kinds of problems—you need causal inference.)
During my elementary/high school days, I remember their C++ videos for creating a simple, but fun mage fireball game in Windows console. It was a good introduction, for me, to object oriented programming. Really showed me that C++ wasn't hard at all and could be fun. Authentic videos where mistakes were made and showed you the human side of programming.

The difference DoH started with something nearly every network was guaranteed to have allowed: HTTPS traffic on TCP 443. Trying to wait for every network to allow DNS on 31218 or whatever wouldn't have worked. Even with a massive amount of the web guaranteed to move to HTTP/3 there will be places that still don't allow UDP 443 five years from now.

If ever something seems dumb in network protocol design the answer probably lies with ossification. Hopefully the design of HTTP/3 ends that.

I will always remember them for their outreach emails that pretended to be from Justin and included “Sent from my iPhone” to deepen the illusion. After talking to them - and already having competent counsel - it was clear they wanted to turn legal services into a predictable cash flow SaaS business more than they were actually solving anything.
That's really fascinating.

So if you could find things in pi (or any normal number) quickly enough, then any arbitrary chunk of data could be compressed to just an offset and a length into that number. That's kind of crazy to think about.

> how they got $75M

Justin Kan sold Twitch to Amazon for nearly $1B after 7 years, Socialcam for $60M in 18 months, and Exec for "under $10M" in 2 years.

That's how he raised $75M. The company/product was completely irrelevant.
I’m convinced serial founders develop blindspots because you end up surrounding yourself with transactional relationships where no one is incentivized to give you tough feedback about anything anymore because they don’t want to get cut from your circle if they need you in the future, so you just get a lot of vague positive feedback about everything you do, even if someone you ask for feedback from doesn’t actually think it’s a very good idea.

The only Python programs that can be called "blazingly" fast compared to equivalent programs in performant languages are either spending all their time in I/O, or all spending all their time in C. Python is a nice language and with some tricks you might speed it up by a factor 2-10, but writing the same program in, say, Java, will often be 50-100x faster.
I'm an attorney in the Tech field. Most of my income comes from working with large established companies, or very well-funded startups. As for small unfunded startups, from my experience, it's a lot of fun to work with them, but it's hard to pay the bills that way. So, it might be good to work for a company like them if you're a developer, but not if you're a lawyer.

Never works. I was driving my friend’s car. I had a tire burst on me. I pulled over to the side of the road. Cops showed up in a few minutes and charged me with reckless driving. Made me take three different breathalyzers. I hadn’t been drinking so obviously it showed “well below the legal limit”. But my friend apparently had an empty beer can in the back.

You can never say it wasn’t yours, apparently. In any case, paid the fine. Oh well.
There are extraordinarily few cases where apps on iOS need to run in the background, beyond what can be accomplished via a periodic scheduled task or the system eventing infrastructure. And the notion paraded here that every app is secretly doing it by pretending that it's playing audio is nonsense that has little correlation with reality.

Android very recently -- at API level 26 -- added restrictions on background tasks for that platform (and it's much more involved than if you display a notification or not). Before that every app developer just spun up a background service for everything, and anyone who has done an iota of development on Android devices saw the tragedy of the commons that the platform became. So kudos to Google for cleaning it up a bit. Of course Samsung, Google and others just declare themselves immune from those restrictions and it's just a smaller problem, not a solved problem.

Regardless of the fingers pointed at whom/what, from an experience perspective it’s crazy the transit authorities expect people to just deal with maintenance and closures for weeks-months at a time. Subway/metro transit is my preferred choice over driving in the city, and often the best-cost method for traveling longer distances within/around the city, however from a convenience and comfort level it’s one of the least enjoyable.

When schedules change it’s always a massive annoyance, or the re-routing makes the trip take forever, or steps of the journey change like having to switch from train to bus to another train. All of these compound over time and just add more drain and exhaustion from traveling on top of whatever the normal day had.

Think of how much people driving would hate commuting to work from the suburbs if the highway authority closed a whole side of the interstate for 2 months straight and the only way home was through 25mph single-lane side streets for a 20mile journey.
I guess. So what, cops are coached to ask to help fund the department? If you say "yes", they'll just confiscate it?
How to Create an ISO from a Bootable USB in Linux
There is absolutely so much wrong with this statement.

You are trying to assert that something about the way this country functions is uniquely causing mental illness and other suffering, and that this should be the primary vector of analysis and intervention.

There has been suffering and mental illness for as long as we know of.

Human psychological suffering empirically can not be only about access to wealth and resources because otherwise every poor American would be free of suffering while everyone in the 19th century, no matter how wealthy, would have been a schizophrenic alcoholic.

OTOH if there was something uniquely and overwhelmingly bad about the current United States versus other countries, we should be able to find that other countries have uniformly better mental health, yet look at suicide rates in Japan or Northern Europe.

Your assertion also diminishes the challenges faced by people who struggle with these things, by making it about “the system” rather than really acknowledging these problems and how pernicious they are.

And implied in your comment is disregard for human choice and how we each live a unique, sometimes extremely difficult, path through life.

According to the article, the starting point was embryos.

> EDIT: I'm also surprised at the hostility towards distribution packagers. Instead of working with them to find mutually valid solutions, the express frustration at distributions and cripple themselves in not allowing third-party dependencies.

These days, it's "cool" to hate your downstreams (y'know, bite the hands that feed you and all that).

Seriously though, as one of those "distribution packagers" (Fedora, Mageia, OpenMandriva, and openSUSE!), it sucks that I encounter this more and more often. I try to be somewhat involved in the projects I package and contribute where I can, be it code, advice, or anything in between. Ten years ago, people were generally friendly to me. These days? It's rare to get a thank-you. Usually I get grumbles and anger for daring to ship it in a distro package. I've even had a couple of patches rejected that fix real bugs simply because they were discovered as part of my packaging and testing something because it doesn't happen on the dev's machine in his virtualenv on his Mac...
Good riddance. Colleges want the benefits of the free market when it comes to nearly unlimited demand for higher education, but act like victims when students finally decide to be price sensitive.

The vast majority of people go to college so they can get a job with that degree. When schools are charging obscene tuitions while simultaneously doing a terrible job at landing those students good jobs, I have 0 sympathy for them. Good riddance to these deadweights.
It’s always been weird to me when a law firm tells me about all the services and such they have. It’s not the firm, it’s the lawyer, and if they decamp, you follow. Likewise just because I am really happy with lawyer X at firm Y Doesn’t mean I’m interested in Y’s patent practice when I need patent assistance.

It's likely (60-85% confidence interval) that although there is enrichment in adolescence that is more sophisticated and detailed compared to previous generations, the lack of meaningful social mind-sharing environs results in a lack of learning crucial mirror-neuron based skills. The screen is warm and cozy, the screen is not so overwhelming to my receptors as social interaction. In a way, our technological prowess is making us perceptual softies, when we should be striving for more full-consciousness experiences.
Wow, thanks so much for all this. I've yet to digest it fully but it's a terrific intro, I love how you worded some of this. You should consider teaching! :)

I can't elaborate much, so just a few "mind blown" moments for posterity:

> GA is just "strongly typed" vector algebra.

That's one hell of $1B slogan, at least around these parts! :) Shut up and take my money.

> in 3D space (only!) the mathematics of areas and vectors is coincidentally isomorphic, so it's possible to cheat and use only vectors and scalars and then everything "works".

I never realized that... there's indeed a lot of confusion in my mind between those concepts. I fail to see how "different" they're supposed to be, I guess really need to go back to sane basic in that regard.

> Geometric Algebra has various subsets that are also closed algebras in their own right.

Just wow. I love this. I actually need this.

> GA has no such restrictions and the same formulas work in all dimensions, including high-dimensional or with degenerate metrics. Problems from classical geometry such as finding tangent lines to circles can be trivially extended to finding tangent hyperplanes to hyperspheres, even for very complex problems.

So that is the real kicker for me, because it fits my problem space so well. I'm exploring highly-dimensional models (basically letting complexity arise from the dimensionality of rather simple/elementary objects, rather than trying to shoehorn complex functions in low-dimensional space in hope of pretty much randomly finding "better fits" — it's a strong desire to not interpret the data before the fact, to remove bias from modeling itself).

There's interesting research around geometric deep learning as well, which seems largely informed by physics as well, and this is sort of the logical conclusion of that for big datasets.

I think industrial use may rise greatly based on this first take. But it's always a generational thing with culture — it takes ~25 years give or take for those who "grew up with it" to finally become the majority of the workforce and sway things their way. Same with politics — looking at you, academia. As you said, "but by this point they're so used to wiring up breadboards manually that it's too late to teach them how to do anything properly."

> It's nuts.

Yeah, it'll take time, never mind how infuriating in the meantime. But good on you, spreading the word about GA is exactly how we move forward, one post, one topic at a time. Eventually, we get there.

Wouldn’t that depend on what benefit you’re trying to achieve? If you want to prevent re-admissions, wouldn’t it be better to focus on people at high risk if future re-admission vs people with high past complexity. (I assume there would be a lot of, but not perfect overlap)

Why does default build process matter? Once you haven figured it out and automated it (say, using a makefile), it doesn’t matter whether you’re using a default build process or not.

Also, the likes of Haskell let you build binaries dependent only on OS provided libraries whereas the likes of Nim compile to C. You might want to play with the short listed languages to get an idea. A simple Hello World will tell you what they link with by default. Anything beyond that is up to you.

What a vapid, empty response. I would be ashamed to write something so mindless in response to a well thought out comment. It would make me feel as if I'm resorting to cliche rather than engaging in an intelligent conversation.

The commenter is absolutely right that the media is obsessed with articles on toxic masculinity. This is perhaps not a bad thing in and of itself, but media space is limited, and journalists often harp on toxic masculinity to the exclusion of all else. You'd be hard pressed to find a major journalist or sociologist who would be willing to even point out which traditionally male behaviors are not toxic. That and the implicit taboo about criticizing any part of modern womanhood by the media makes it seem as if men (and white people for that matter -- and I am not white so dont play that game with me) are the only class whose toxic traits are written about so openly.

The number of articles published praising women for what would previously have been grave vices dwarves the number of articles written that even dare to broach the topic of there being any goodness in traditional masculine roles, which for better or worse, it is clear men are attracted towards.
That's not really much different from the path we took. It's just instead of running the compiler, we ran the linter and test suite until things passed. It's just when you have a million lines of code that takes quite a while.

> Yes, boilerplate forms for repetitive use cases seems like it should be a thing, but in my experience building businesses, every lawyer I have dealt with has found any reason possible to have custom documents.

Good lawyers in the Valley should indeed be giving startups the boilerplate for free, not charging for board meetings, not charging for the partner time (not that you’ll get much — or need it) but charging for associate time. This is what I’m used to and expect, whether Gunderson Dettmer, Cooley, Orrick etc. From startups they make the money on the financing even though those docs are mostly boilerplate too. Oh no billable hours until you get a term sheet.

Then if you get big they also make the big bucks, especially on exits.

But it’s not worth chasing the scraps of billing from startups. I mean how much lawyering do you typically need in the first couple of years anyway?

Rust is still not stable as a language. Things are still changing, behaviors are still breaking, and the language is iterating every six weeks as if it doesn't matter if stuff breaks because of it.

So Rust isn't winning points there either... :/
