Hi Paul,
I'm a big fan of your work democratizing holography, and I love the idea of a small-scale hologram printer.

If you need any assistance with a Unity, Three.js (WebGL), or Shadertoy rendering engine, let me know. I'm the software lead for Project North Star (Open Source AR Headset), and I've done miscellaneous other exotic display integrations and calibrations (ie shadertoys for the Looking Glass Display and a few CAVEs).

My absolute dream would be to print HOEs (but I'm unsure those are within the limitations of digital holography). I imagine holograms bent into a cylinder (that can be viewed from any direction), followed by shiny (metallic) objects and far-field subjects will look the most striking.

Will the printer be "full-color" too? Countering the chromatic distortion effects of the holographic film sounds like a fun challenge.
Call me cynical but isn't this a bit... Redundant? I mean sure, nlp, parse some papers and make some sort of search/q&a type of thing? Fine, whatever.

Nice work on organizing the data and to a fair degree taking care of the tedious pre-processing associated with any ml task but... Idk, I fail to see how this could help. Personally I'll fiddle around with it in my spare time but mostly for fun, I don't expect anything significantly useful to come out of it.

On a higher level I feel like the success of the IT industry has made a lot of people feel like it is the answer to every possible question. And sure, bioinformatics is an incredible subject and I've invested a lot in studying it in my spare time in the last couple of years but __purely__ out of curiosity. But my 2 cents on the subject is that us(developers, ml engineers, etc) cannot provide the answer to the meaning of life. In this situation our safest course of action is to work from home as much as possible and avoid making decision that could potentially make the situation worse. Basically protect ourselves and those around us as much as possible. And by doing so, let people who have the adequate training, knowledge and experience take care of the situation. Sure, play around with it in your spare time, and if you come up with something - share it. But the whole "stand back boys, let us men handle it" mentality is what really bugs me. If anything history has taught us that this goes badly 990 out of 1000 times(to be more in lines with Bayesians). We all want the underdog to win the game but... Come on...
The US has more intensive care unit beds per capita than any other country. Among developed nations they will not come out of this with the highest COVID death toll per capita. The Italian healthcare system is closer to the not for profit ideal and it’s not doing great right now.
Also, I believe this requires full mutual trust between the two parties, and perfect communication.

Any breaks in trust, or breakdowns in communication can disrupt the process of mind melding. And it seems to me that trust and failure of communication are features of boundaries between individuals.
I'm not insulted on anyone's behalf. You're trying to make perfectly harmless writing taboo. My own perfectly harmless writing will be next.

Oddly enough this is the story of many bus drivers I talk too.

I like doing real work on a whiteboard. Especially if there's two or more devs involved. It's a great way to see the whole problem at once, and it's so much more productive than all sitting at a keyboard together.

So a whiteboard is a pretty natural medium for interviewing for me.

You had a desktop computer, which makes life much easier for you. As someone who was (and will soon be again) in the market for my one and only computer, the iPad is a non-starter. It's SO limited.

* Software development, with the best will in the world, isn't really possible on it.

* No quick ways to open up multiple windows, alt-tab between them, snap them side by side etc.

* No mouse support (Admittedly, I tried them a while back, but by all accounts, the mouse support until this update was still bolted on).

* Shitty af file system (Admittedly another thing that is moving in the right direction).

* Woeful stand. The previous folio was a joke, especially at it's price. It was unstable, lacked a trackpad, and personally, I hated the typing feel.

It was all rather disappointing, because I was so tempted by it. A sub-1 kg setup that one could pack in one's bag and forget, with a proper aspect ratio, with touch support, with great battery life, with the Apple quality etc.

Could've been great, but isn't there yet.
The fact that in 2020 the USA still refuse to provide for basic welfare is maddening. Sick paid leave is human rights, plain and simple. Nobody should be punished or face economical repercussions due to the fact they are ill; staying home when you have a transmissible disease should be incentivised as much as possible.

SQ will grow much faster than physical retail will decline. Overall physical retail isn't going to vanish. Some parts of it will disappear; some physical retailers will do much worse than others.

Their growth over the past three years disputes the concerns on their growth re physical retail. They're not mirroring damage in physical retail: sales, $1.7b -> $2.2b -> $3.3b -> $4.7b. Their operating profit has gone from -$170m -> -$54m -> -$36m -> +$153m. They have a clean path from here to over $10b-$12b in sales (Covid will roll them backwards and or slow their growth dramatically for a while, which of course is why the stock is being priced as it is).

NVDA with an optimistic 30 to 40 PE is far beyond a reasonable valuation in this climate. Half that range would be reasonable given their growth potential for the next few years and the market conditions now. So far NVDA is only back to Dec & Nov prices.

I love what AMD is doing on the product front and obviously investors are optimistic. Buying them at ~100 times earnings - with modest growth against that valuation - I consider a bad value in this market after the upside run they've had (since ~mar 2018). They still haven't been adjusted with much of a discount (and of course I have no idea if they will be or not at some point), they've merely been priced back to December. A normalization of AMD's valuation to the semi industry requires they earn ~$2 billion in net income at some point to justify their present valuation. They've pulled a lot of future gains forward here.
OP is just politely asking the author to be considerate of the current situation in Italy. There’s no need to be overly sensitive.

That's exactly my point. Why would someone downvote because he finds an opinion controversial? Offensive, unrelevant, I can understand. Unpopular, controversial? That's pretty much how echo chambers are made. Is omeone wants to hear the same opinion fot the rest of his life, then he can write it in google calendar and send it as notification every day.

Launch HN: InternApp(YC SUS W20) – Centralized internship / work experience app
Hello HN community. I'm Israel from InternApp (http://internapp.co/). I am building a work experience app from top accelerators and incubators portfolio companies.

Securing internship placement as an undergraduate student in Nigeria was a daunting task for me as I had to balance up getting a place that was near where I resided, some place that disbursed allowances to her interns and more importantly an organization that aligned with my values and course of study.

I encountered a major problem - one that left me bewildered. Almost all the front desk officers I met confessed to me that I needed to have a connection (more like an insider) for my application to be considered. They were kind enough to show me stack of torn papers that were internship letters and curriculum vitae of people because they didn't have connections.

InternApp, coined from "Internship" and "Applications" presents a simple yet faster way to start a career that you have always desired. You don't need to have a connection!

Atleast 10 organizations and companies will be sampled based on your data input (preference, course of study and interests). Upon review of the companies, you will click on the submit button enabling one application be distributed to the selected list of companies at the same time.

With InternApp, students and graduates across Africa can apply to intern abroad, remotely or at top companies around them.

I will be happy to see your comments, thoughts, advices and feedbacks below. Thanks for reading this.
I agree that too much abstraction from your SQL database is a world of frustration. I feel that ‘query builders’ themselves can end up feeling like too much abstraction, albeit of a slightly different kind. I’ve written about an alternative approach for TypeScript [1] and am in the process of turning it into an npm module (complete with nested queries that produce LATERAL joins, with all results fully typed).

Still, in 2000 the situation was quite different. IT companies had been hiring like crazy based on the assumption that infinite Internet growth would require infinite resources. And then, it turned out it was all a bubble and most of the IT workforce was not needed.

Right now there is not much fundamentally wrong with the economy, there is just a temporary setback because of the Corona lockdown. Things will go back to normal after the epidemic is over, provided that it doesn't last too long and except for some companies who were not doing too well beforehand already.
I thought whisky, tobacco and tampons were for that situation. Or maybe toilet paper.

As recently as Jan 14, 2020, the World Health Organization stated that there was no evidence of human to human transmission for nCoV. [1]

The USA, and the world as a whole, has done an amazing job mobilizing itself to change borders, adjust social mores, limit large groups of people, and relax regulation around testing in order to get a treatment out.

And it's been working! We've already begun testing new vaccines, and cheap and already-approved treatments of Hydroxylchloroquine and chloroquine are showing extreme promise in both prevention and treatment of the disease. [2] [3]

It's easy to complain and blame America for problems, but look at how fast things have changed. Humanity as a whole is amazing -- in times of peril, we have the ability to adapt so rapidly that we can fundamentally change the world.

I don't have inside information, however from some occasional stuff I have read here and there, it seems Khronos was unwilling to drive OpenCL the way Apple wished for, and they weren't happy to have lost control over OpenCL.

If this actually the reason, I don't know, corrections welcomed.

My thoughts exactly. My local Safeway has decided to close at 9pm instead of midnight due to the health issues, which means that now everyone that would have gone later is now crowding in right before closing.
Yeah, some critics about this feeling improvised, but guess what? it IS improvisation.

Remember what hickey says about improvising? (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Design-Composition-Perfo...)

It is art and years of preparation right there performing real-time.

So that guy criticizing is only auto declaring he is incapable of improvising on this matter.. and it's ok it's only for the best ones after all. It is called a challenge for a reason.

Your product got a problem and your consumer offered a solution. AFAIK, consumers' solution solves nothing. You should focus on fixing your problem instead of making it open source.
>Woah there. Don't be so hasty to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Agreed. I may absolutely hate the documentation I have to complete as a microbiologist in a GMP company, but there is a reason for it. I just wish that GMP wasn't filled with so much BS. The parent comment here is being ridiculous and deserves to be argued against.
> Throwing it out entirely and allowing anybody to manufacture and sell medical devices from their garage is not going to happen.

The situation we are in is the same as a doctor doing an emergency tracheotomy in a restaurant using a pen sterilized with some gin. No one really wonders what the serial number is of that pen or whether it was made with the high quality requirements of surgigcal equipment.

The machines produced in a mobilization shouldn't even be compared with those produced in peacetime. They should be compared to nothing at all. So when the question arises "is this device safe"? The relevant answer is "well this patient is dying on a stretcher in a tent next to a thousand others like him, so we'll use it".

It follows that it's important that these devices are either destroyed or quality certified after the fact. These can't be used in five years in during a routine surgery, of course.

I'm not an expert but I'm guessing the downvotes are coming from your comment being super political and unfactual. Keep in mind this is not Twitter so the sorts of comments that appeal to Joe Sixpack and Donna Doublewide don't always gain traction here.

Trump has unquestionably bungled the response to Covid so you might be getting downvotes related to your bizarre defense of him too.
I work a lot with EntityFramework (the "unit of work" pattern) and it does solve the issues the author brings up fairly well: queries are first class (LINQ with static typing), and transactions are on by default between each .Save operation.

However it's not a magic bullet by any means: EF will still sometimes generate weird join queries that require serious head scratching and second guessing to get into a better form, and huge nested .Include / .ThenInclude trees are extremely common when your data is highly normalized. This can lead to the same kind of inefficiencies seen with the ActiveRecord pattern.

FWIW what really slows things down isn't typically selecting every column, it's those really giant joins or joins on things that aren't indexed. I think there's some room for improvement in the DX of EF itself here -- it could at least tell you if you write a join on a non-indexed column. (It has all the information there, as the indices are defined in EntityMap source files).

Overall, when building applications on a RDBMS <-> OOP <-> REST API, there are indeed different fundamental abstractions, and no framework or library will save you from needing to understand how those abstractions map between each other.

And believe me, GraphQL is also no panacea! It has its own similar but different issues.
Just to add to this: We don't put pilots in jail for shooting down an enemy aircraft. In an extreme case, we cannot file a lawsuit for mistakenly launching nuclear missiles because of miscommunication - war would have ensued.

I think people are too hung up on the societal fabric, daily life and normal circumstances that when an emergency arrives at your doorstep, you're too clumsy, too weak and too ignorant of what the reality demands.
I do. These charts don't seem consistent or useful to me, some of the things that they "show" are artefacts, the numbers have not been refounded as data in the sense that the information required to make them genuinely informative is not available, understood or used here. Handley references data collection having been changed in the UK, but cannot quantify the impact. He does not note that testing is being done differently all over the place, some countries are doing drive throughs as an example. I think that some places are doing one test, others are double testing cases. The list of problems goes on. This is part of the noise that is going to confuse and delay effective responses.

Btw. This is analytics absent Data Science....
That's so clear. Thank you. The words "consumers' solution solves nothing" touched my heart.
However, I have no idea about how to solve the data retention problem except for being open source.

In Copenhagen, the metro took the reverse action, running more trains, even outside rush hours (basically all their trains all the time). Well, that happened two weeks ago, and now no one is actually taking the metro, so maybe they have cut down since then.

I think bus companies and train companies in general took the same action, but they are also reporting an 80% drop in passengers.
Can they also manufacturer anesthesiologists and acute care nurses? Medical beds? Hospitals? Effective PPE so what few staff we have can carry on working? What about safe, medical grade oxygen?

It's not enough to have ventilators and beds for 15% of your population. You need a joined up response across the board. This is good, but it's not enough.
That's probably the immediate consequence, but not necessarily the only one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand#Reduced_deman...

>> Editor's note (19 March 2020): Since the publication of this article, the World Health Organization has updated its advice on the official Twitter account: "Based on currently available information, WHO does not recommend against the use of ibuprofen."

This seems like a minor thing to get caught up on. "The 1%" has become a popular term in the past few years, so consider that including the 1% would cost only 1% of the total cost of UBI. The 99% would receive 99% of the money. There's beauty in the flat nature of UBI.

Making UBI, you know, _universal_ allows you to simplify the program and reduce the administrative overhead, perhaps enough to make up for that 1% of payments.

Besides, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet would both contribute far, far, far more to the UBI program via increased taxes than the small (to them) $1k check they receive.

> You can't just throw out all regulations

It needs to be emphasized over and over that this is a national emergency. Think "War". Would you rather have a surgeon operate your wounded brain matter with rusted implements or watch you die?

When youre living in a city where every hotel, every gymnasium and every school is full of ill people going through pneumonia - I am sure you would change your mind.

Another way to think is - if COVID-19 had a mortality rate of 100%, and R0 of 3; what would you do about regulations? We are lucky this virus isn't as deadly as Ebola (50% CFR) and as contageous as measles (R0 6-7). If there is death to humanity looming in the future, that's the virus its waiting for a human contact in some bat cave. What regulations then?
