Sounds like someone has it in for doctors.

I worked in healthcare IT for years, before than going to medical school, and now in residency. My experience really does not match yours.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, I will agree that doctors in general are quite resistant to technology because they have been fucked over by implementations that are more concerned with billing and regulatory than either better patient care or improving physician quality of life/workload.

Most medical facilities use badges for access. I think what you’re calling resistance is increased scrutiny, something you might not be used to dealing with in other fields.

Based on your sweeping generalizations tinged with bitterness I can only imagine most doctors that have to work with you professionally are going to be a bit on edge. The reaction you’re getting from all these physicians you’re working with is probably related to what I can only imagine is a shitty attitude.
You can actually achieve this by making a new branch at the merge-base, cherry picking the fix from the development branch, then landing this branch into the release and development branch.

Git will record the parent commit correctly on both branches but apply no changeset to the development branch, while applying it to the release branch.

I admit the above is a bit much for most people.
It seemed like the reduced cholesterol was what impacted personality. I don't know if statins cross the blood brain barrier but if cholesterol levels themselves drive behavior changes it doesn't seem like they would need to in order to have an impact. This was the most interesting take away for me because it means that crossing the barrier isn't always necessary as indirect effects can be powerful as well.
Yes. Considering the level of incompetency in Iranian military, the first thing they should do is stop the nuke program and focus on reforming their military.
Well, depends what you mean by solid legal ground then.

Nobody is / should be seriously concerned by using the open source OpenZFS modules with their Linux distro of choice.
The short version is that you can't do this with git, because it doesn't scale.

See Facebook's discussion with git devs here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3548824

The long version is that many are trying. MS is making some headway last I checked.
Is "faster" always a good thing in hashing algorithms?

Suppose a hashed password database falls into wrong hands. If they're hashed with a faster algorithm wouldn't it be easier to try a dictionary attack to discover the real passwords?

> This new moment of marketization is interesting to observe from the sidelines.

I don't see what "marketization" has to do with things.

There have been plenty of "busy beavers" over the years organizing all the music recordings on various non-commercial services at a scale that surpasses most similar commercial services. If anything, "marketization" has prevented them from making these collections even bigger than they have been.

Those collections are thus better seen as a resource for people who want to play music themselves, rather than as a consumer substitute for musicianship.

Lol, you could have simply projected the warming from 1900-1940 and been in that confidence interval.

The planet is warming, and CO2 is drastically exasperating it, but our data and models are crap. Look how many fights and researcher nerd wars have happened over something which sounds trivial like satellite altitude drift or locating ground stations, and you'll see compromise, number fudge, magical constants, and the typical amount of statistical shenanigans.

We need to do better.

Computational fluid dynamics software rarely is implemented in the best way known to computer science and optimized to the hardware architecture. There's a compromise between development and run time here. Plus, how to optimize the software is an active area of research that often combines both computer and physical knowledge.
Time is an illusion; lunchtime, doubly so.

The hypothesis I would personally register is that bugs increase after 5:30 PM, and that this effect drops off in late evening hours.

Ask HN: Opinions on Coder Infantilization?
Hi HN. I've been thinking about some of the infantilizing language directed towards coders (often by "management," other times reinforced between one coder and another). Examples include goofy team names, overly prominent displays of "nerdy" paraphernalia, and discussions that employ the trope of the anti-social, obsessive technical person.

I have 3 main ideas about these things:

1. I've seen it actively deployed to minimize the influence of coders and to dismiss their complaints or concerns about projects. This can be really annoying and sometimes has significant effects as technical advice is treated as not worth taking particularly seriously in "serious" business conversations.

2. On the flip side, it can actually be sort of useful. The absurdity of how seriously some people take themselves can become a little more evident when we're throwing around childish terms like "story points" and signing our emails with goofy team names.

3. Maybe I'm just taking this all too seriously, and these effects are mostly in my head.

Would be curious to hear opinions of the HN crowd.
Sometimes true. Sometimes not. When I decide to buy a book, I check prices on:

Amazon (UK,US and sometimes others too)
Thriftbooks
Abebooks
Alibris
Wordery
Ebay
BookDepository
BooksPlease

At various times, each of these has proven to be carrying the cheapest available copy (including the ones that don't even sell second hand). There have been times when ignoring amazon would have cost me money.

Let's check the current prices I am offered this very second on the very last book I bought second hand, "Game Engine Gems II":

Amazon UK - GBP 23.97
Amazon US - USD 36.93
Thriftbooks - Out of stock
Abebooks UK - 23.98
Abebooks US - USD 56.43
Alibris UK - 37.65
Wordery - 63.99 (new)
Ebay UK - 26.67
BookDepository - 42.70 (new)
BooksPlease - 58.12 (new)

Amazon UK is the cheapest I see (by a penny!), and all those prices are higher than what I paid for it on Amazon UK in the past few weeks. To stick with just Thrift and Abe is to cost oneself money.

I do tend to identify, though, the cheapest ever second hand price on Amazon through one of the services that watch for such things, and set an alert when it drifts that low again. With a hundred or so such watches currently active, a couple of times a month I am alerted to a ridiculously low-ball offer on Amazon's second-hand market.
There’s zero value for a retailer when you’re applying coupon codes at checkout. I don’t see why retailers will continue to tolerate it.

I find it disingenuous that the article refers to Google as a “tech giant”. The implications are far more sinister if instead it was referred to as “advertising giant” as advertising is what is what is driving Google to acquire this data.

Blake3 is explicitly not a password hashing algorithm. For that use Bcrypt or Scrypt or Argon2. The authors of Blake3 point this out in the README of Blake3.

Ok, thank you.

I understand that it is for implementing things like dictionaries/hash tables.
There are all sorts of practical exceptions, but it's still all backed by income generating wealth.

That $5mm under your mattress is backed by bonds, income yielding bonds. That's why it's worth $5mm. If the country or bank that issues those bonds were defunct, the money would be worthless because the bonds would no longer be income generating.

You could say that gold is nonproductive wealth. Adam Smith sorta argued that gold isn't wealth. You could use a sack of grain as an example..

These examples are theoretical though. IRL, the majority of wealth is equity, bonds, real estate, etc. The value of that property is determined by the income it generates for its owner. If you really had that $5mm, it would probably be in equity, bonds, real estate, and generate a yield... like most wealth in the world.

Abstract

> Retrospectively comparing future model projections to observations provides a robust and independent test of model skill. Here we analyse the performance of climate models published between 1970 and 2007 in projecting future global mean surface temperature (GMST) changes. Models are compared to observations based on both the change in GMST over time and the change in GMST over the change in external forcing. The latter approach accounts for mismatches in model forcings, a potential source of error in model projections independent of the accuracy of model physics. We find that climate models published over the past five decades were skillful in predicting subsequent GMST changes, with most models examined showing warming consistent with observations, particularly when mismatches between model-projected and observationally-estimated forcings were taken into account.

"External forcing" means basically CO2 level. They adjust model projections for errors in projecting CO2 increases. So what they're testing is just the physics of the models.
For general purpose algorithms yes.
Blake3 is not a password hashing algorithm it’s a general purpose one, used for checksums or verifying 2 files are the same etc.

For password hashing you’re correct they should be slow, bcrypt for example.
This is a funny comment on HN, where it is very easy, for me at least, to be so far out of my element that I have no clue what is being discussed, such as any post about hardware!
> the inconvenience

What is inconvenient about not flushing the toilet if you only urinate? I may have a weak nose, but I have never smelled anything. If you are skeptical that this is the case, I would try for a couple days and see what you think.

I think the amount of water saved is higher than you expect. I work from home and drink a lot of coffee, so maybe my usage is higher than yours.

According to https://www.home-water-works.org/indoor-use/toilets:

> Toilet flushing is the single highest use of water in the average home, so it also presents a prime opportunity for water conservation. With the average person flushing five times a day, toilets make up about 31% of overall household water consumption.
Not really. It's even 2x slower than SHA256-NI, the builtin.

b3sum is much faster than sha256sum, and blake3 is about 2x faster than blake2.

Wrong, the Supreme Court produced a test for use in case of litigation, not to proactively apply to every non-litigant. Codification of the test is a step change, and its litany of incomprehensible exceptions is a strong sign that the test and the law are severely flawed in the general context.
I currently work at a company with a monorepo where they generate artifacts like protocol buffers libraries for Go and python, and check in those artifacts. That's not the way Google likes to do it. At Google they just check in the proto file and build the library artifacts at build time with a rule like https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/protocol-buffer....
I am, sort of, doing an apprenticeship right now. We are building an indoor aquaponics pilot (290 m2/3100 sqft facility). Aquaponics is growing fish, bacteria and vegetables in a recirculating water based system.

We are doing this “from scratch” (obviously buying pumps, sensors, tanks etc of the shelf). At the same time I am learning aquaculture (growing fish) in a formal two semester course, as well as reading a bunch of books on the subject. We are also planning an insect larvae farm, to use food waste as feed, to partially feed the fish.

It turns out there is a massive amount of things to learn. I am lucky my colleagues are full of different expertise than what I have. The know how to grow plants, build buildings, mechanical engineering, electronics, software, sales, the list goes on. It is somewhat scary how complex everything is, but it is amazing to build the thing with your own hands and see it gradually come to fruition. I am learning so many thins that I can’t learn from a book.

We are building this ourselves to learn by doing, as we don’t want to scale up without significant hands on experience.

I agree a lot with this author, but after being in software for a long time, it still feels like one of the unique problems of software is we keep changing the details. I imagine constructing stairs is largely the same as it was 50 years ago. Most web development pretty much does the same thing as it did 20 years ago, but almost all the details have changed. So as a programmer it gets frustrating having to learn all nearly completely new details but the outcome isn't really that substantially similar than it was when I first learned Java servlet dev.

TBH, I'm not arguing so much against this evolution of software (it seems like the over-complication of web dev has been discussed as nauseum on HN), but more that just from a personal perspective I have less patience for figuring out a new way to take stuff from a database and display it in a browser window.
> And old languages had it bolted on (C# 8, Java 8, C++ 17).

C#: actually true, you can switch over to non-nullable reference types

Java 8: meeeh, it provides an Optional but all references are still nullable, including references to Optional. There are also @Nullable and @NotNull annotations but they're also meh, plus some checkers handle them oddly[0]

C++17: you can deref' an std::optional, it's completely legal, and it's an UB if the optional is empty. Despite its name, std::optional is not a type-safety feature, its goal is not to provide for "nullable references" (that's a pointer), it's to provide a stack-allocated smart pointer (rather than have to allocate with unique_ptr for instance).

Success rates are often not that high. Also depends on the exact definition of success. Say for carpal tunnel, from that I've read, the "there was any improvement" success rate is about 90%, but the "fully healed" success rate is as low as 15%.

In theory, yes. I was working on doing this (for internal data) at a large healthcare system some time ago.

The de-id part was actually really easy since DICOM is a very standardized format and this hospital system had good practices in place to only input certain information about each patient.

It's interesting - I wonder if the advances in treatment have precipitated this position.

My instinctive attitude/response to cancer is that it's a death sentance, and I guess that makes me, and my generation, an probably a lot of the population suceptable to the grift of these hucksters.

Perhaps the right thing to do is to change the classification of diseases like NHL that can now be treated - perhaps they should just stop being "cancer".
But that's why it's often a bad idea to test exact equality of floats: the equality test isn't continuous.

In fact, for float computations it's usually even more important to use continuous (ie. error tolerant) functions, since floating-point operations can introduce errors.

I think it would be very unethical for an undergraduate who contributed to a research effort not to be listed as an author.

normally the professor's name goes last on the paper, and the convention is well understood that being last author means they functioned in an advisory/funding role and may not have done much of the actual work.

there's plenty to be cynical about in the world of scientific research but it's definitely not the norm for professors to claim sole credit for work done by their students or employees.
Nothing is very clear, but I get the impression that:

- targets labeled "ar71xx" can only use the old driver, and will probably not be supported in future releases. Consider replacing such equipment.

- targets labeled "ath79" have already been ported (or started out?) with the new driver, and owners may ignore the whole topic.

- targets labeled "ar71xx-to-ath79" have a commitment for support for the new driver, so that all future releases should work with this hardware (even though this latest release still uses the old driver).

Can somebody confirm whether this is an accurate understanding?

I have tp-link AC1750v5 routers, identified with the third bullet above. Can I ignore this, or do I have to do something to switch it to the new driver?

hmm many of the freelancing sites operate the same way,

I go to acme freelance, I put in the work I want done, acme freelance sends me quotes and profiles for people willing to do the work, I click go..

I guess in that instance i am not hiring a "contractor" either I am hiring acme freelance.. good to know

To the rest of the world when I have my software developed by a contractor I found on Acme Freelance I did infact hire a contractor, but I guess because this is driving it is some how different? Or because the rates are more standardized?

I am trying to figure out why you believe uber is different from the 100's of other freelance websites? or maybe you dont and you believe all of the people selling services on all of those sites should also be Employee's of the sites?
>If I story $5mm under my mattress, I have wealth without generating income.

This isn’t true. The $5mm is merely representational. The social dynamics that maintain it’s exchange value, i.e. security, is circumstantial. The security is exercised by way of capital.

>personal property is almost by definition a form of wealth which does not produce income/accumulate value.

This is ahistorical. In a capitalist society, personal property is a means to produce value all the same. Capitalism comprises relational circumstances that deem your toothbrush, comb, computer, school supplies, and your quiet home all as means to produce value.
it makes sense to me that people would want a cross platform way to write GPU code (I thought that was the point of opengl). I don't see why the web is a special case of this.

When you hit 40 you start to see in real time how valuable those old songs are. Your friends and other people in your age group hate the new music so they only listen to music from when they were young. All of the commercials play music you thought would never be used in a commercial. Walking through the grocery store or waiting in an elevator you start to bop your head because one of your favorite songs from high school is now elevator music. A popular song has a lot of long tail value, sometimes you have to wait a generation to start to see the returns.
