I take your point, but the complexity I’m talking about is what remains after you’ve done any readily applicable simplifications.

Any normal task has an inherent level of complexity (“add one” is a very simple task, so can be reduced down as you point out). “Invert a matrix” is somewhat less reducible. “Calculate a quaternion” even less so, etc.

We generally string dozens or hundreds of these simpler tasks into sequences to get what we want, and human understanding being what it is, there’s quite a difference in conceptual complexity between “fly the plane to [here]” and doing all that maths.

There’s probably a relationship to subitising here as well, the brain does seem to be able to process small groups of things, even if it knows those things represent larger concepts, better than larger groups of things. This is just speculation on my part though.
Aesthetics are subjective. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There have been a lot of these 'open source ventilators', and they kind of miss the point. It's easy to make something that performs the basic functionality.

I have spent basically every waking hour of the last month and a bit working on a ventilator for my employer (part of Ventilator Challenge UK - project recently suspended). Making something that delivers air in the right duty cycle for breathing is easy. There's a few more things you want to do:

Blend O2 and Air ("FiO2"). Ventilators need to deliver Oxygen rich air to patients, but not usually 100%. Blenders are harder than you'd think to make. Note also that having pure O2 in your system means that there's a load of stuff you have to get right to prevent fire.

Alarms. This is the big one. most of the implementation (even taking account the next feature), was about checks and associated alarms, for blockages, failures etc. Making sure that we beeped loudly if something looked wrong. Note that 'not beeping' is a much WORSE failure than 'not ventilating'. If something goes wrong (including complete hardware failure of the ventilator), as long as a healthcare practitioner is aware and responds, then there isn't an issue. If the ventilator is happily ventilating away but something is obstructed then the patient might die (there are backup checks like pulse oximetry on the patient, but they're slow).

Assisted breathing. Driving a solenoid on and off at a particular rate and duty cycle gets you 'mandatory breathing'. That is great for keeping someone alive. If you're not unconscious though, it is both incredibly unpleasant and doesn't help you get weaned off and get better. What you want is a device capable of sensing attempted breaths and using the ventilation to 'help' them. This feature isn't 100% necessary - the early plans in the UK were for a massive shortage and for the simplest things we could get in a hurry. It quickly became clear that actually we needed ventilators to help people recover.
This is truly wonderful haha Thank you for sharing

I miss random synchronous chats with strangers, but I think I liked them because the stranger pool was a lot less creepy. I'm not sure I would enjoy them now.

FWIW, someone I met doing random AOL profile searches in the mid-'90s and I are still online friends. We both liked the Dave Matthews Band and played varsity tennis, and this met my minimum chat requirements. Now we are both former journalists working online, dealing with bipolar disorder and the recent death of a parent. The internet might be weird sometimes, but that (and a random story of getting a web development job because someone had the wrong email address for the person they were actually trying to hire) will always go down in my "Internet wins" column.

This has been something living in my head for a long time, but the largest problem is that the complexity needs to live in different places for different sizes of problem. For example, for simple systems, the build tool that forces a limit to complexity might be the right one, because the exceptions will be small and well-understood. For a large system, you may have a team that is dedicated to the build tool itself, and as such the compromises are different.

If you are lucky, you have someone who is able to analyze the entire system, can identify all of the stakeholders, and can drive consensus when the change in abstractions is necessary, and has the budget to do it.

The danger is that people pick the solution for a large solution first because "we will need this someday" rather than waiting for the accidental complexity to build, knowing that the rework necessary to move to an intermediate system is less expensive than the cost of delay in getting the simple solution out first.

My dream is that we can build incremental complexity systems that could support simple solutions quickly and highly complex solutions eventually. The problem is that these are hard to build. :)

That is not the UK experience. In the UK, ramping of manufacturing of existing ventilators has been more successful than expected, and social distancing has kept the demand on the NHS to a manageable level. Together that has meant that we haven't needed emergency designs.

Whether that is true in other countries is a different matter.

That's akin to saying that python2.7 is just as valid a language as python3. And it is. But it is also correct to say that python2.7 is out-of-date as it is no longer being updated, as it was sunset on January 1, 2020, and all are advised to port to python3, as no further updates will be done to the 2.7 codebase.

In much the same way, it's not wrong to use plural "they," but it is no more correct than singular "they." Language is descriptivist. Its rules are determined by usage and clarity as well as historical usage patterns, all of which are subject to change. As of of release of the APA Publication Manual Seventh Edition in October 2019, the APA acknowledged such language usage pattern changes and by doing so, the major standards body which codifies style for major publications has adopted singular "they." Resisting such change is fine, but seems a strange hill to die on.

You've completely misread that first study.

> Aerosols (<5 μm) containing SARS-CoV-2 (105.25 50% tissue-culture infectious dose [TCID50] per milliliter) or SARS-CoV-1 (106.75-7.00 TCID50 per milliliter) were generated with the use of a three-jet Collison nebulizer and fed into a Goldberg drum to create an aerosolized environment.

They intentionally created aerosols for the purposes of the study.

The other studies relate to aerosols in hospitals, which are likely generated by those aerosol-generating procedures; intubation, nebulizers, etc. Healthcare staff are observing aerosol precautions when doing these procedures for this reason.
Very few countries managed to produce emergency ventilators from scratch. Out of hundreds of ambu bag squeezer designs, find at least one that reached the assembly line.

Not a lot.

Only 4 countries on record now managed to start mass production of designed from scratch emergency ventilators.

Expanding existing capacity would've been an incomparably better option.
As mentioned elsewhere, it is difficult to prove where any block in OFF was derived. So while a block is used to rebuild a copyrighted work, the block itself can't be subject to copyright, or more so, could have been generated by a freely available work and so has no ties to the copyrighted work.

It seems like building a dictionary and then a system to rebuild books by combining fragments (words) from the dictionary. The book can be copyrighted, but the words couldn't be. Even if the word was coined in the book and submitted to the dictionary.

TSMC is reportedly investing $20bln in the plant for the next node (more advanced, smaller, faster, less-power-hungry technology). Few companies can invest that kind of many. And for the ones that could, it's often better to invest it elsewhere and use the services of a multiple-client but single-purpose, laser-focused fab like TSMC.
Fair and balanced media is an unobtainable ideal and certainly doesn't exist among any corporate news rags.

If you're trusting any corporate media to tell you balanced truth they're either lying to you and you don't realize it, or they're lying by omission (very common in MSM).

Even the Associated Press has made some pretty egregious errors triggering retractions or walkbacks, especially in the last few years.

That would be a good analogy if they just claimed the network gives you anonymity and therefore lets you break the law with impunity.

But they're making the claim that the system lets you share copyrighted work without breaking the law.

Because they XOR'ed copyrighted bits with other copyrighted bits therefore how can anyone own the resulting garbage? This is the part that will be laughed out of the court room.

Whether it can be proved that a particular node participated in the infringement is a different story, but if that is your threat model you want strong encryption not XOR.

You've completely misunderstood his argument.

It's widely accepted and known that fatality rates once you're put on a ventilator (due to Coronavirus) is ridiculously high compared to when you're put on a ventilator for other illnesses (something like 80% vs 20%). It suggests that ventilators might not be the right solution to what's happening to these people. So some doctors have been questioning the wisdom of continuing to use ventilators, and some doctors have been looking to alternative solutions that might have more success and better outcomes. One idea that was floated was CPAP (though I don't know what happened to that).

Nobody here is saying "ah, ventilators aren't working, fuck it, let everybody die". That's offensive to everybody here and a bad faith argument that isn't constructive in any way.

The article buried the news in exchange for a clickbait headline. The real news is this:

So IMHO the insurance premium would have been worth it.

If you'd been paying this premium for 11 years and looking at it in late 2019 you might think otherwise. OTOH if you were the kind of person who'd buy this product in the first place, 2019 would definitely be the time you'd be sure to hang on to it!
If you're only talking about forecasting and not medical/inferences then most of statistic models are that and GARCH variation.

There are multivariate models but I don't know much about those. Most of the good resources are in the econometric domain. Multivariate time series within econometric, from what I've seen, is portfolio balancing.

For a general overview for statistic domain I would recommend:

https://otexts.com/fpp2/

For ARIMA I love this book:

Time Series Econometric by Levendis

For GARCH:
Financial Modeling Under Non-Gaussian Distributions

If you want to learn more within statistic and time series in medical data: there is (1) longitudinal and (2) survival analysis. There are non linear time series but those are rare because most of our tools work within linear. There are also circular time series and temporal spatial statistic but I don't have any relevant knowledge in those to give you. I'm sure there are other that I don't know about within statistic.

Another interesting one is change point statistic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_detection.

There is also a coursera course in time series that I've taken. I will post it here when I get off of work and better internet connection.

If you want an idea what forecast models out there you should read the papers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makridakis_Competitions

There are 4 papers now and most of them are on statistical models which traditional dominating this domain. Datascience/ML models are slowing getting in there.

> The classic "What Colour are your bits" is relevant here:

I agree this article is relevant, but perhaps not in the way you meant.

To me, the point of the article is that you can't tell what Colour bits are by looking at the bits. The OFFSystem can be viewed as a way of illustrating this point (though that probably wasn't what its designers intended). But the law wants to insist that you can tell what Colour bits are by looking at the bits--as the article says, that's basically what DRM and other such systems try to do. But it can't be done.

To me, that means that the law needs to change--as it has changed in the past when technology changes in a way that invalidates assumptions that the law previously made. It looks to me like the main thing that is preventing the law from simply changing in a common sense way to accommodate the technological change of computers is that there are large corporations who make a lot of money by owning copyrights. I personally don't have a lot of sympathy for those corporations since their business model has nothing whatever to do with compensating the actual creators of the works whose copyrights they own.
