Kaiser Permanente Medical Informatics | Machine Learning Engineers and Scientists (Data Science Team), Backend Engineers (Applications Team) | San Diego, CA | currently REMOTE but eventually ONSITE

Medical Informatics team develops clinical decision support, auditing, and virtual care solutions for Kaiser Permanente (KP). Our unique operational position within KP gives us complete access to KP's massive EHR and a broad mandate to develop machine learning models and applications for all aspects of clinical care and delivery. Our products are deployed throughout KP’s nationwide network and impact the lives of over 10 million patients.

Our Data Science Team is looking for talented Machine Learning Scientists and Engineers to help develop our new project focused on smarter clinical triage. Unlike existing clinical triage products and symptom checkers, we are able to leverage our extensive Natural Language Understanding pipeline to generate evidence-based content from clinical data, giving us unprecedented symptom and diagnoses coverage.

Our Applications Team is looking for backend engineers with 3+ years experience in Java to help support our production applications for clinical decision support and quality. KP Medical Informatics developed and supports an NLP pipeline that analyses in real time nearly every progress note written by a KP medical professionals during their interaction with patients. As a backend engineer you will be responsible with maintenance and development of additional pipeline capabilities as well as new applications that leverage our natural language insights.

If you are interested, please send your resume and the position you are seeking to ilya.valmianski@kp.org
we understand the translation of DNA bases to amino acids, and we once though that was going to be enough to understand inheritance, but we're still unpicking additional mechanisms that regulate gene expression and post translation modification. There's heaps more turtles down there.
> How important are the seasons going to be for people who have to spend the vast majority of their time indoors due to the lack of a breathable atmosphere – and possibly even underground for protection against radiation?

Quite important, actually. Day and night cycles determine when solar power is available. You'll probably have some outdoor activity by humans (mining, construction, maintenance, etc...) that would be affected by daylight. (Perhaps most work will actually be done at night to avoid radiation from the sun?) And even in a hardened habitat you might have skylights (maybe long tubes or solar collectors connected to fiber optic cables rather than big windows in the ceiling).

> The fact is that modern societies don't really need a calendar synchronised to the seasons. Most jobs nowadays the seasons are not very important.

I work an indoor job, but still the seasons affect me quite a lot. (It's cold and rainy in the winter.) I don't know what the seasons are like on Mars, but I could imagine outdoor seasonal differences in temperature and light levels could have some impact on colony logistics.

> For the first few decades at the very least, Martian colonies will be dealing with Earth an awful lot.

Sure, but if the lead time between ordering a part and receiving delivery is something like six months or a year, it's probably hard to care that much about what's going on on Earth in real time. Sort of like someone who runs a business that buys parts from vendors in China is probably aware of the Chinese New Year. But that doesn't mean they run their life primarily off of the traditional Chinese calendar.

> I don't know why you'd do that. On earth, clocks run from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 each day. On Mars, you'd just make them run to 24:39:34 instead.

Well, sure, that's the practical solution. But it's less poetic than having some interval every day where the accounting of time is put on hold.
You can still, at least, allow users to revoke it, even if it's silently default.
Goes to show just how much of a cultural phenomenon The Expanse is, in that I read this in a Belter Creole accent.
I agree. Quanta is substantially more 'hardcore'. Perhaps it's the Simons Foundation funding?
Thanks for the feedback! I answered a similar question in this thread with my reasoning for the pricing model, but it's really good to hear that I should probably change it from multiple people.

Briefly, I wanted to discount sporadic bulk usage (hence expiry of 7 days) and charge fairly for long term availability (expiry of 2 years), with everyone else being in the 30 days bucket and treating it like a subscription.

I'm aware that a larger company would not want to deal with purchasing regularly and my thinking was that the 2 years option is great for that. Buy a bunch of credits for 2 years and forget about them. If you stop using the product, just don't buy again, I'm not going to nag you for money. I haven't set up alerts that your credits are expiring soon or you're running out yet, but that would be the next logical step if I stay with this model.

I'd love to hear your ideas for how else I could price Creodocs! I'm open to anything, this was just the result of trying to accommodate the most use cases.
Simple example:

1. We first prove there are infinitely many primes.

2. Assume the number of primes is finite.

3. Thus, there exists a number that is the product of all primes.

4. Thus, there exists a number that is one more than the product of all primes, let us call this number A.

5. A is larger than any prime, thus different from any prime, thus not a prime.

6. Thus, there is at least one prime that A can be divided by.

7. But by it's very definition as the product of all primes + 1, the remainder of dividing this number by any prime is 1.

8. Thus, A is divisible by no prime, and prime.

9. Contradiction follows from assumption 2, thus assumption is false.

10. There are thus infinitely many primes.

11. There are finitely many number below 10^10^10^10^10

12. Thus, there must at exist infinite primes above 10^10^10^10^10

I don't know any of these numbers, but showing that a contradiction can be derived from assuming that such a number not exist is the common way to do it.
It's not impossible, obviously, but while it was natural for steam-engines to appear when they did, there is no good reason to expect an essentially arbitrary word to be synthesised many times nearly simultaneously.

A weaker version of your hypothesis, whereby the word was synthesised once but reinforced by similar phrases or folk etymologies (leading to the current confusion) is much more plausible, however.
> Does that mean sleep is a bad thing, because it cuts off so much more happiness and joy than suffering?

If you cut down on your sleeping too much, it'll make the rest of your life less joy-filled and more full of suffering.
Sure, when you have a group of people willing to go along with a lock down.

When it was suggested in the U.S., xenophobia quickly accompanied it.

Do the rich lock down? Nope. Look at how the athletes, people in power, and other celebrities do things when no one is watching. Rules for the little people.
Not to take away from your point but I think you mean to say Starlink - it's a separate company.

Governments could block sales of the customer equipment, but once they're in it would be almost impossible to locate and confiscate them all.

They could order termination of service (based on coordinates or serial numbers), but there's no way for them to physically control that if the company refuses to do so.
Noted, and I really appreciate the honesty. I'd love to hear your thoughts on alternative pricing models!

Isn't Katakana (for words that would normally be written with Hiragana or Kanji) also used sometimes to indicate emphasis? https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/5314/31389
That wasn't clear at the time.

This post shows how hard it was for scientists to prove it's bollocks. And the above comment shows how the general population doesn't want their hopes dashed.
Oh right, i was adjusting my language for an international audience. We call them dirt roads mostly here, I think on account of them being mostly dirt, though they often do contain gravel. Up north some of the dirt roads are so thick with dust you need to leave a few minutes between car / road train so the dust settles enough to see.

But yeah, I have been sent on 'roads' that are just a little more than overgrown goat tracks, or across private land.

TBH I would try a lot of these roads even if I didn't use google.
No concept of case is also true of Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and if I'm not mistaken, most South Asian scripts as well.

There are an incredible amount of other ways to add emphasis in Chinese though, so it's not lacking anything, and I imagine the same is true of the other languages.
This made me laugh. I read an article by some educated professor backing the doomsday argument and the logic of it just feels like an abuse of our implicit understanding of logic rather than actual logic, like those puzzle stories that sound right in every sentence but a closer look at first principles reveals a glaring mistake.

I feel like there is that same glaring error in the doomsday argument more directly (rather than this funny indirect proof) but I can’t think of it.
I've more or less stopped reading nautilus for that reason
Wide integer multiplication works fine on a GPU:

Your number is broken up into 32-bit coefficients to 2^32 as a compounding power (sum over a_i * 2^32i) -- and then you can do it as tensor(ish) operations, if you fiddle with carry/mod steps in between to keep the coefficients the right size and partial results properly aligned.

From what I've seen, the majority of it is theater. Does that mean it's more secure than Android devices? Not necessarily.

In any case, the biggest vulnerability in any system is the end user. No amount of idiot-proofing will stop people from being scammed on an iPhone, nor will it stop someone on Android. When these companies market their "Secure Enclave" or "Titan Security", they're really just dressing up otherwise expected or boring features. The T2 chip was basically a dedicated PRNG chip with basic encoding capabilities, yet Apple paraded it as a boon for device security and game-changer for the end user. In reality, it doesn't solve any practical issues with computer security.

I've tried about every OS on the planet, and I've used them on a decent handful of different devices. I won't tell you what to think or do, but Apple's devices are difficult to appraise and hurt my head when I try to consider their impact on my overall "security". I'd much rather just use a Linux system that's transparent about it's vulnerabilities. Much of that same reasoning is why I still use Android these days.
Thanks for sharing!

Just before the section you quoted, it says:

> Zutty passes the subset of VTTEST screens that we care about

FWIW, wezterm passes the subset of vttest screens that I care about too :-p

More seriously though, I can't use anything from zutty as it has an incompatible license, and that approach still doesn't resolve the main issue that I have with vttest, which is that it requires a human to interpret the display and reverse engineer what's happening from the code.

esctest is a much more reasonable target for conformance testing:

Thank you for this. I’m more interested in it from the perspective of anti-web scraping algorithms.

I was curious, when you say block traffic, would you send 400s or silently just not record the crucial events? It seems like maybe tipping off automation would cause them to readjust. Perhaps they are not that determined?
The hate against spring on hacker news is so ridiculous. Spring boot is one of the easiest lowest boilerplate ways to build anything, period. Especially if you use a type dynamic language on top, like groovy or kotlin or whatever.

We’ve been with Azure for two years. This scale of an issue is definitely abnormal, but other minor outages (typically geo-specific) are more frequent, which is why we do have some things using their “paired regions” geo-redundancy mechanisms.

iCloud has always been suspicious: Apple cancelled end-to-end encryption on iCloud after a certain three-letter agency filed a complaint, saying that it would disrupt investigations and have a considerable impact on the law enforcement capabilities of our country. Not to mention, Apple's behavior has been decreasingly auspicious in places like Russia and China, where they've started preinstalling state-sponsored apps and relocating servers to government-controlled provinces, respectively.
That said... if someone pays me one or multiple annual salaries for something perfectly legal that's slightly morally questionable and indirectly linked to nasty things... I wish I could confidently say I'd say no, but I'm making no guarantees.

Hey, there's quite a few LaTeX enthusiasts on HN!

Great question and observation! Currently, the platform doesn't handle external non-text assets at all. This is something I will definitely be incorporating in the future. You can submit a private template where you bundle your logo and any other images and those will compile as normal with \includegraphics{}, but users of the template can't submit images or other assets beyond text at this stage.

An image is a string of characters, so I don't imagine it will be too difficult to accept an image as a new document variable type, send it along with the bundle that goes to the workers, recreate it as a .jpg, and make use of it in the template. The difficulty then becomes coding the template in a way that if a user specifies a really tall or really wide image, the document still looks good.
I miss USB2 and such because anything you bought would work for a good amount of time. It's hard to get 4 wires and a connector wrong.

I agree that that will be the most likely outcome, but I wish it wasn't going to be that way.
Europe has been slower on the rollout than USA. I'd give them 3 extra months compared to USA, maybe October or so.

Once the USA is largely vaccinated, all of the supply the USA was buying up can pour into other countries.
Thunderbird would be hot garbage even if it didn't constantly phone-home. I'd like an IMAP client that connects to my IMAP server and nothing else (connecting to outside web servers is okay if there are URLs in email and fetching remote resources is enabled).
Have you thought about not having the external components, and moving the logic/code into the spreadsheet itself? In other words, just have a single spreadsheet and the whole UX in that, and the things you have as external components integrate right into the user's sheet. You can have both secondary notations and conditional projectional editors based on the parsing of the sheet.

What we wish, is that the permissions would be fully customizable by the end user.

It’s funny how a few wearily memories can stick with you. In my case they are a couple of discrete momentS: I have two (which must have been seconds apart in time) from age 2 or 3 when I had my tonsils out. I remember walking down a huge corridor and I remember lying on my back when two giants with white caps spoke to each other and tied my arms to the rungs of the cot. (That’s how they did things in 1960s Australia).

I also remember, perhaps I was 3 or 4, standing in a driveway looking at somebody’s house and thinking, “hmm I feel funny, but I’ve felt this way before; hope I can remember and do it again”. I think it must have been a glimmer of consciousness.

Apart from that I have a handful of even more fragmentary memories from that era. I don’t have any “real” (episodic, continuous, contextual) memories predating age 6, which is developmentally right on the nose.

The Dumbest Financial Story of 2021
The island excuse is getting old. Is there any evidence that “national border crossing by land only” was a significant source of spread, compared to community spread and air travel? On the contrary, there are non-islands that also were able to significantly slow the spread using actual lockdowns. And there were islands that did not control the spread due to not implementing lockdowns (UK). It doesn’t seem like Island is a really significant factor.
I've struggled with this as well. As far as I can tell there isn't a good solution, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

You can run PurgeCSS in a dry mode to find any unused selectors, but it can't handle any classes that are dynamically generated. If your codebase has used anything like `buttonClass = 'button-' + color`, you may get false positives.

The Chrome Dev Tools coverage can show you how much of a stylesheet is used at runtime, but if you concat everything into a single css file that's used for every page, a single page's usage doesn't help.

Fine, I'll play along and say that you're right: the data doesn't exist - which btw I never contested, I actually asked if there was any data available to back a claim. It is then equally fantasist to claim that being a remote employee at a hybrid company is either detrimental, neutral or beneficial to career advancement.

From what I can find, 5G wasn't invented in China, nor was the concept of electromagnetic information transfer. Nor were transitors. Nor were micro processors. Nor were personal cell phones...

The list goes on, and it goes DEEP right down to the fundamental physics of these innovations which all did NOT come out of China.

Devistating as this all is to your point, you'll probably never accept it. China has a long history of stealing from the West, where the true innovation has occurred over the years.

Yes, I do think this is starting to change and I applaud China where it has introduced improvements to technology instead of raw copying (which it has a long, long history of doing). The unfortunate reality is that cheating for years has tainted their image, and try as you might to point out one or two examples of how it's changed, doesn't make it so.
