Not that "Epic" is the name of an Electronic Health Record system that embeds this proprietary algorithm for detecting sepsis.

Key Points

Question How accurately does the Epic Sepsis Model, a proprietary sepsis prediction model implemented at hundreds of US hospitals, predict the onset of sepsis?

Findings In this cohort study of 27 697 patients undergoing 38 455 hospitalizations, sepsis occurred in 7% of the hosptalizations. The Epic Sepsis Model predicted the onset of sepsis with an area under the curve of 0.63, which is substantially worse than the performance reported by its developer.

Meaning This study suggests that the Epic Sepsis Model poorly predicts sepsis; its widespread adoption despite poor performance raises fundamental concerns about sepsis management on a national level.

Results We identified 27 697 patients who had 38 455 hospitalizations (21 904 women [57%]; median age, 56 years [interquartile range, 35-69 years]) meeting inclusion criteria, of whom sepsis occurred in 2552 (7%). The ESM had a hospitalization-level area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.62-0.64). The ESM identified 183 of 2552 patients with sepsis (7%) who did not receive timely administration of antibiotics, highlighting the low sensitivity of the ESM in comparison with contemporary clinical practice. The ESM also did not identify 1709 patients with sepsis (67%) despite generating alerts for an ESM score of 6 or higher for 6971 of all 38 455 hospitalized patients (18%), thus creating a large burden of alert fatigue.

Conclusions and Relevance This external validation cohort study suggests that the ESM has poor discrimination and calibration in predicting the onset of sepsis. The widespread adoption of the ESM despite its poor performance raises fundamental concerns about sepsis management on a national level.

Can you elaborate, according to the NSL and the official statements, why Apple Daily was charged this time?

In fact, the official statements from a few days ago didn’t mention Jimmy Lai at all, contrary to your claim (by doing what Jimmy Lai allegedly did in the US without disclosing it beforehand).
I have several DM-SMR drives and their write cache (when not completely full) is like 50-100 GB large. As long as you don't write more than that in one go it performs exactly like a normal hard drive of their stature. When they're idle they'll merge the write cache into the main SMR region. Sequential writes mostly end up going straight to the SMR region (there is no idle-reorganization after them).

SMR is also only used in fairly high capacity drives. A 1/2/4 TB drive wouldn't be SMR.

A comment I don't see here yet is that this is to some extent a consequence of Google's business model. The assumption seems to be that a company should be wary about doing what they're doing, because they'll lose business. But Google's not directly selling these services, in most cases. I assume they're happy with the way they do things, which is try a bunch of stuff in a slightly chaotic but fairly nimble way, be happy when some of it works well (Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs), and kill the rest. Frustrating for users, absolutely, but that's the company you're getting your free stuff from. It's pretty clear that this behavior isn't affecting their profits and maybe it's not even hurting their reputation, outside of circles like this one.

The Swedish sub that surprised a US carrier at a training exercise was indeed diesel-electric, which is a great advantage. When stealth is required, they can use only their electric engine, or even stop it all together if the enemy is very close and listening. With a nuclear sub, the reactor and its cooling are always there.
There are no "objects" in ECS, rather Components as the name clearly states.

Funny why do most ECS frameworks use interfaces/traits/pure virtual classes/static polymorphism then, since they don't exist according to you?

Component orientend programming is a subset of OOP, as for why that is, I provided a book, feel free to educate yourself.

They use additive homomorphic functions, not fully homomorphic functions, which is the one you’re talking about. If you only support one type of operation instead of two (+ and x) then it’s pretty straight forward (even RSA was additively homomorphic)
> Social media posts are twice as likely to go viral if they are negative about politicians they oppose rather than positive about those they support, a Cambridge University study suggests.

This paragraph seems a lot more neutral then the headline. A pretty straightforward explanation for this is that if there are more then two politicians competing in a race, a negative post about a politician is going to be liked by supporters of all other politicians, but a positive post is only going to be liked by supporters of that politician. For example, in the 2016 race, Sanders and Trump supporters might have liked negative posts about Hillary Clinton, Sanders and Clinton supporters negative posts about Trump, etc..
> it’s almost possible to see Google’s strategy. Gmail exists for emails; Chat is the GChat / Hangouts-style messaging system for real-time conversations and group chats; Spaces is the Slack / Discord-style area for more persistent, larger rooms based on a particular topic or conversation; and there’s Meet for video chats.

This is like the exact opposite of what we want. It was the best when my gmail tab was email, SMS, chat, video calling all in one.

Note that Amazon partners with certain companies (like acloudguru) to provide free training to their employees. All you have to do is sign up with an @amazon.com e-mail address. And they offer discounts on any AWS certs that you want to go for.

I have had had good experiences with some of the Udemy courses. In fact, when I lead a study group for the AWS CCP, we used the acloudguru course as the baseline, but the weekly quizzes I threw at them were based on Udemy material.

So, if you want to get AWS certification, there’s at least two sets of resources there that I think are useful. Maybe not the best available, but still useful.

Vonnegut wrote repeatedly about the harm that mass media & recording had done to certain important ways people exist socially. It must have been on his mind quite a bit. Notably, the social (and economic, for that matter) value of "small" talent. Being able to sing a little. Being a pretty-good dancer. A fair storyteller. Decent at a sport. All of that's worth way less when everyone can experience the best the last 100 years of the whole damn globe has to offer at the press of a button. The cost is the devastation of a whole bunch of ways of relating to one another socially and deriving personal value, on a small scale. Whatever survives of those small talents withers into quirks, lonesome hobbies, and pathologies, or simply dies entirely. All this media-plenty is great, sure, but it presses on us and molds us with inhuman scale. We see—we can hardly avoid—the greatest others can be, and are less, ourselves.

I think he'd find Web, in 2021, horrifying. I don't think it's implausible to speculate that he might see it as socially apocalyptic. Like social Ice-9—an unstoppable, deadly force, wrecking the globe forever, but originally a human invention.
I think Google tries so many things at once and this is why they end up killing most of their products.

On contrary if we compare apple to Google. Apple does one thing really better they integrate their services really well across all devices and that’s one of the reason its hard to leave Apple Ecosystem.

Yeah I think I understand this viewpoint but I fundamentally disagree with it. I would absolutely prefer to live in a world where academics are free to express controversial opinions that would be debated on their own merits, and not shut down because some people are made uncomfortable. “Canada is not racist” clearly falls in this category for me - it’s a far cry from something like “Hitler was right”.

In practice this would look like strong protections for academic freedom and the administration would take the side of free expression instead of pandering to the offended. I find it troubling that you’re ok with the “bad opinion” being silenced to make people comfortable instead of debated on its own merits.

I guess you’re assuming that the Aboriginal student in your example would have the opinion that Canada is in fact racist? I don’t know if this is a widespread opinion but if it is they would be entitled to expressing their viewpoint and hopefully the professor would learn something new about the country. How is shutting them up instead more productive? This doesn’t decrease the amount of racism at all.

It’s precisely because people are often emotional and are often not capable of a rational debate that we should dedicate extra effort to protecting academic freedom. If we don’t then in the long term we all lose if we have to walk on eggshells and can’t freely debate the full range of opinions.

Let me ask you this: if we’re not allowed to question if or to what extent systemic racism exists, how do we ever know when we fully conquered it? Does it just become an article of faith? At that point, what does this have to do with scientific inquiry and universities at all?

Edit: regarding your example, no I don’t think that Canada is sexist either. Canada consistently ranks in top 5 or 10 countries for women’s rights and labor equality (roughly equal to the Nordic countries). Why do you think it’s controversial to say that Canada is not sexist?

While Facebook and Twitter are definitely to blame, we should also look at the smartphone for creating this dystopia.

Today, the smartphone makes it very easy to go the internet and shout at someone just because you had a bad minute or a bad second. It also makes it very easy to produce and consume multi media.

Maybe its just me but I feel like the Internet used to be more wholesome in the pre smartphone era.

A big reason that I keep coming back to HN is that it does not allow any images and videos.

"I am not convinced that removing any optimization which can be used in a timing-based side channel is sustainable." basically boils down over two decades of JavaScript (now WebAssembly) API and language design, where one subset of the committees fervently argues against any feature or primitive that could possibly be used to acquire timing information, no matter how useful. It's tough, because they are ALSO trying to make sure any advertiser on the planet can run code on your PC without your permission, so it is pretty important to stop that code from using timing side channels to capture your credit card number or something. Once it was proven that JavaScript could trigger rowhammer (I remember having debates about this during wasm spec meetings at the time when it was still speculative), that kind of guaranteed that the side-channel people would remain in control, I think. SharedArrayBuffer is the biggest example - we basically had safe multithreaded memory access available in browsers but it got disabled due to spectre/meltdown, and we only started getting it back relatively recently with lots of additional constraints to try and make it "safe". Want high-precision timestamps? Not anymore you don't, it's a side-channel!

Similarly, when a new browser update goes out it may or may not make all the web apps you rely on slower (or break them), so any web benchmarking also needs to be re-run from scratch on a regular basis. New Chrome and Firefox releases "ride the trains" every 6 weeks or so, and they quietly push changes to the browser more frequently than that which can occasionally impact perf or behavior too.

> It's a good technique that preserves handling.

When traction is plentiful, yes. When approaching the limits of traction (in snow, or while turning, etc.), regular braking (or for curves, you could say trail braking) is usually best because the jerk of engine braking right when the clutch is engaged can upset the balance just enough to break loose.

That said, it does have an anti-lock effect in snow which is handy for cars that lack ABS, so as long as the jerk is accounted for, it can be a net win.

No, not sure how can I explain it better.

For my own country market Disney can do it cheaper, free .
If I want to make a cartoon to promote say a traditional story I need to do a lot of work and then sell my work.
Disney already made a local TV channel where they just translate their existing american stuff, slap ads and profit.

So what are the upsides and downsides

- Disney makes money

- US pushes their culture(including the wird shit where is super funny to have characters tortured by explosions, dropping big objects on them or those children/teen movies where is fun to bully the dorks)

- only win is our children have more options then we had in the past

I do not want to suppress Disney, I would put a tax , use that to sponsor some local animation schools to create more content with local themes.

There are a few local cartoons, there are small budget and the reason they exist is because parents demand/appreciate such products.

I did not watched cable TV in years but last time I did there were only american translated channels for children but with youtube I could watch with my son cartoons from different countries but this cartoons don't have a giant behind them to create their own TV channels.

Now let me respond to you in a similar way you did, maybe you understand it better.

You create a cool app but when you try to sell it MS, Google and Apple release a similar app for free, you try then to make a different app but again the giant has a free offer, you do that again and again but all the time a similar but not identical free product was launched by the giants for free. Your products were better but the giants had a free shittier version so you only gained a small market. You might say that is OK you get screwed because customers got free stuff, but is it free though? The giants made the money in different way(sometimes in ilegal ways, sometimes in a l4gal but unethical way).

My point is there is no actual fair competition when you compete with a giant, so if Windows or Notepad is the most installed OS/program you would be wrong to conclude that means this is because of the quality of the product.
Also fascinated by the fact that it's possible to lose tolerance to something you've ostensibly recognized as "okay" for most of your life, but I mostly wanted to just say that "problematic pandemic primed populations" got a hearty chuckle out of me.
